On the 18th May, in this present year of grace, married at Stonington, Connecticut, MT Charles w. .Dennison, to Miss Mary Palmer all of that town. The said Dennison is the Editor of the Stonington Pbenix and is one of the oldest and most eccentric members of our cOrps.-In announcing his matrimo- nal disaster in editorial article, he says:-" Dear Readers, one and all male and female, we are un- der the necessity of requesting you to allow us to ele vate the feather end of our Albaross quill in such way as to hide as much as possible, of our modest face, while point with it, for your special atten tion to what the printers have done for under the Hymenial head.
 If any surly brother batchelor editor should dare take us to task now for having committed the griev- sin of marriage, in defiance to the known laws promuged by pretended majority ofthe fraternity, we have only time to say, that having met Palmer wandering companonless the cheerless waste of cebacy. and being oursefan alien from the hap py state, we have become Denizens of the common wealth of fmatrimony and wehumbly trust joint heirs to the couenant of promise"

It would seem from the following statement in the Baltimore Minerva, related to the Editor a case which occurred some time since in Virginia, that the mere foam or saliva of mad dog, without any wound from its bite, will produe hydrophobia. young girl walking along the road to her fathers house, saw strange dog running towards herr she attempted to jump upon the fence until the animal passed-but the dog seized her apron, tore large hole in it and then passed on.

Gone Oper.-We consider the Editor ot the United States Telegraph as having gone entirely over to the ranks of the opposition, and that he is doHg more injury to the admnistra- ton than an open and avowed opponent - The opposition prints, for some ume past, have quoted his remarks with cVloent siShs of peculiar satisfaction, and they might as well mention his connection with them as one of the indications for which they are looking. and of which they are constantly speaking, or MT Clay's increase of strength. Wheeher this accusation will, or will not, ada to tne strength of their party may be lett to the pup lie to judge but that Dutf Green and Johh H. Pleasants, with others of the same class, will soon be found openly struggling in the same ranks we can no longer entertain any doubts. He pretends, it is true, to be still friendly to the President; but friendship which charges a man with being under ma lign influence, and of suffering his confidence to be abused, is kind of friendship with which any one would desire to dispense.
 Gen Green, in supposing that the real friends of the President will jon him in the course he is pursuing, is under delusion which must prove, if it has not already pro we'd, fatal to him and in attempting to set up his judgement against the united voice ot the presses which has hitherto supported the Republican cause, has manifested degree ot assurance which but few men would have the boldness to assume.
 It painful for us thus to speak of the Edi- tor of the Telegraph; but considering it to be demanded by the cause of truth, we can no longer forbear. He must know, and will know, that his present course will not answer him any good purpose and is one which can not, and will not, be sustained. This is no tune for Republican presses to falter or hesi- tate in their course, or to tolerate or wink at such versatile conduct as is displayed in the Telegraph. They should firmly and reso- lutely support the President against assaults of ali open enemies or pretended friends, who profess friendship with the view or with a tendency, of making the wounds they inf1ct the deeper and the more dangerous.-Ga- zette and Hatchmaa.

Great Natural Curiosity-The brig Hardy, Capt Shurley, which arrived here yesterday, from Bata- via has on board hring female ovRANc-ourAso. She is greatly effected by cold, and keeps blanket constantly wrapped about her. She has been visited by Dr Smith, the Quarantine Physician, who exa- mined her. felt her pulse, and ordered milk to be g to her, which occasioned temporary revival of her spirits She is still able to walk, although she tottegs from weakness. When she stands erect her hands nearly touch the ground She eats, drinks, and spits, like human being.
 This is the only successful attempt ever made, to introduce of these remarkable animals alive in- to this country. Some years since an Ourang- Gu tang brought into port, but died in the harbor- The skeleton has been frequently exhibited by Dr Transcript.

By the arrival at Baltimore, of the brig Vir- ginia from Rio, news is brought of the safe re- turn of Richard Lander, (the companion of Captain Clapperton,) and his brother John Lander from the interior of Africa. It will be seen, that the Journal of Mungo Park has been recovered, and the Landers have solved the problem of the course and the mouth of the Niger, as they sailed down that river, to the Eight of Benin, where it discharges itself by various branches, into the ocean.
 By far the most interesting news brought by this arrival, is the account furnished of the African expedition of Lander, the discovery of Me Niger, and the recovery of the manu- scripts of Mungo Park. The English ship, Carnarvon, which arrived at Rio Janeiro ear ly in April, from Fernando Pc, an island in the mouth of the river Camerones, in the Gulf of Guinea, brought as passengers, Rich ard Lander, the well known companion of Clapperton, and his brother John Lander.- These young men have been absent seventeen months, in the employment of the British Co., vernment, in prosecuting the search after the course of the Niger. Having reached the point (mentioned in Clapperton's book where Park was murdered, they succeeded in reco- vering his books, letters, manuscripts, and double barrclled gun, which was his property.
 Being obliged to abandon their design of prOCeeQ1nS 10 1 lmDuClOO, rom which they were scarcely fifteen days journey, for want of presents to bestow, without which there is neither found protection nor assistance from the authorities of the country, they in conse- guence re-embarked at the place where Mun- go Park lost his life, and following the cur rent of the river, which runs at the rate of of four miles an hour, they ascertained that the Niger before it divided itself into various branches is ten miles wide. They then re- solved to proceed by one of the most consde- rable of the branches, which flowed rapidly to the west. As they approached the coast they were taken prisoners by the negroes who inhabit the banks of the river, and were again obliged to embark to be conducted to the presence of their king, who lived at a great distance. They were plundered and treated as slaves, and were threatened to be sold and sent into the interior. They succeeded. how ever, after great difficulty, in persuading the chiefs by promises of great reward, as well for their persons as for the property they still possessed, to send them to the coast of Guinea.
 Having again embarked, they at length ar rived at the Bay of Benin, where the Euro peans gave them every assistance they re- quired.
 These travellers affirm, that the river Nom which discharges itself into the Bay of Be, nin, is the most considerable branch of the Niger; and that the others, like the Calabar. also flow to the ocean. They also stated that their guides told them that the city of Tim buctoo is not situated on the Niger, but dis

 Reoiral of Religion-Pursuant to appointment, a Four Days Meeting convened at the Presby teran Church in this town on Thursday, the 18th instant After the usual time had arrived for closing the religious exercises the state of feeling was such that it deemed proper to continue them, and cordingly they were kept up by the different de- nominations without interruption, until last Sabbath. The exercises consisted after the first week. of pray ermeetings during the day and preaching at night, except three or four occasions, when there was preaching in the day time. The result has been, that about seuenty persons have made profession of religion, of whom t,oentyjour members of the College. The utmost harmony has subsisted be- tween the different denominations throughout and there has been that cheerful cooperation in the york; without regard to sectarian views, that should ever mark the conduct of the Christian.
