Queen Elizabeth had given her promise to
promote him, began to grow impatient at
the delay. One day the Queen perceived
him in the palace garden, and looking out of
the window, asked him "What does a man
think of, when he thinks of nothing?" to
which. after short pause, he replied, tina
dam, he thinks Of wonan's promises"
A surgeon being called as witness, for
the purpose of proving damages upon an ac-
tion of assault, deposed that he had bed the
plaintiff; and being asked. upon oath, if
bleeding was necessary, candidly answered,

when sent for"
Isaac b. Desha.-The Cynthiana paper
of the twenty-third ult. contains a statement
of his case, drawn up by the surgeons, of
which the following are the concluding par
agraphs:
HE can now sit, stand, walk or lie, as in
clination may require. His confinement for
period of 90 months in Jail, his abstinence

| We understand that the duties devolved on the
President, by the death of his venerable Father,
are so various and important, that they will de-
tain him at the family mansion much longer than
was anticipated. Ifnot called to Washington by
unexpected business, it is probable he will not
! reach that city until early in October MIR.

! A Muauery.-The ceremonies attendant upon
taking the Black Veil, were performed at the
Convent, in Georgetown, a few days since, when
the VOWS which are to separate her from the
world, and to confine her in future within the
precnts of the Convent, were taken by Miss
Jones' daughter of Commodore Jones, OF the u
nitcd States Navy. The White Veil was taken

Philadelphia .frcade.-By new arrangement,
third story is to be added to the Arcade, which
is to be occupied, we understand, by the Phila-
delpha Museum. This alteration in the plan,
will cause an additional expenditure of S12, 900,
but will add to the annual revenue 1900. Eight
dollars will be required to be paid on each share.
1t is said that third story will add greatly to the
beauty of the building. The lower story is now
completed, and the whole work is progressing
rapidly.
Cultivation Of The Grape.-Whle millions of
money are sent out of the country for the Pur-
chase offoreign wines, it is scarcely known that
the article can be, and is, manufactured at home
with the greatest ease, and of very superior
quality. The experiment has been fully made
by Col. Robert Carr, of Philadelphia county, who
has a vineyard in full bearing; and it has met
with success which ought to arrest the attention
| of the agricultural community. We drank q
glass of wine from his vineyard few days ago
it was excellent though but three years old; and
made Of the Powell grape, which is natipe of our
own country, grows with great rapidity and lux
uriance, and produces more abundantly than a.
my other known. The circumstance is partlcu-
larly worthy of note inasmuch as this kind of

of fmanufacturing--an it has been thought that
to succeed with the article, erotics would have to
be imported from abroad. We have little doubt
that if roper attention should be given to the
subject, the cultivation Of the grape would be-
come common; the more pernicous liquors
would be superseded by the use Of one far more
excellent and wholesome, and large amount OF
money now despatched to other countries would
be turned into the Golfers Of our own agricultur-
asts. 1t might be made very profitable busi-
ness. We recommend our enterprisng farmers
to think and enquire further about it; and in pro-
cess Of time we shall say more on the subject.
