pleasan.s, in case the Judge decides against lP. The Governor has actually been to sec Randolph, some say twice, after which the orders were issued. The excitement here this evening is very great. The pre- pairing of fire arms looks very ugly. lam in hopes every thing will yet be right.s'
 The last papers received from Richmond, state that Mir. Randolph was arrested by the Marshal of the United States for that district, and committed so close confine- nent in Hentico jail. by yirue of war rant of distress, under the act of Congress oi tic i5i,, May, 1856, iol sum exceed- ing 20,0o0 dollars. Mir. Pleasants the se- nior editor of the Richmond Whig, was al- so arrested by the Marshal, on Thursday last, for all alleged contempt in refusing to obey the process requiring his appearance. before the county court of Alexandria, as a witness ii the case of Mir. Randoph's as- saali upon the President.
 The Richmond Compiler, an opposition print, contains violent article on the sub ject of the arrest of Randolph, in which it Is said that the proceeding had excited gen. tiol iluiSldtlOu diitOiiS tut CltlZeuS Oi Richmond, as the sum for which he IS ar rested IS more than five times the amount oi the balance found against him by the cour; of inquiry. The same paper states that Mr. Randolph ''ias friends who will no' suffer sailor whose Gallantry has distin- guished the navy of. his country, to lie in Jaii, the victim of tiiose whose baseness and malice have brought him, to the present situation" This sentence is conspicuous ly printed in small capitals, or we should have supposed it merely to mean that Mir. Randolph's friends were willing to stand his security for the amount charged in the war rant, proceeding against which no one could object; but, taken in connection with the extract of the letter quoted above, there Is reason to believe, however incredible fl may appear, that the mistaken feeling in la- vor of this individual, IS so great in Rich mond, that his friends are encouraged to attempt his rescue by violence.

She open ed it at the first leaf, and immediately asked why her name was written in that book, as it was not hers.

EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH.-On the mor- hing of the 18th ult., lady of Newport, Kentucky, the wife of Mr. H., aged about 3l years, and the mother of several children, was delivered of female twins Dr. Bennett, very respectable gentleman, being the family physician, was, at the prop CT period, called on. He very soon dis covered a strange peculiarly and difficulty in the case; and the situation of the lady becoming constantly more and more alarm ing, without effect, resorted to such means as were within his reach, requested the counsel of Dr. J. Whitman, of our city. Dr. ". crossed the river without delay, and, in about half an hour after his arrival, the children were born, by instrumental assist ance, without the least violence being done to the mother The children were dead, but were of the usual size, and perfect in anrespects,except so far as shall De eascrib- de below, being plump and handsome, and weighing about SIX pounds each.
 have had permission to examine these children. They present one of the most uncommon and interesting illustrations ei the manner in which Nature sometimes sports, or errs, in Interpretations, that have ever witnessed. ssgs
 These little interesting sisters are preter- naturally united in manner very mnch re- sembling the far-famed Slamese twins.-- The attachment, however, is somewhat more extensive. It commences at the su- perior portion of the breast-bone, and ex- tends down to the umblicus. That of the Sianese Twins, if recolect right, com mehces at the ensiform cartilage of the sternum, or breast-bone, and extends only from that point to the umbilicus. In the case of the Kentucky Twins, the entire breast-bone and ribs ofssone child are unit ed, by cartilage, to the breast-bone and ribs of the other,p forming a firm attachment of at least EIGHT INCHES, leaving, however, quite perfect thoracic and abdominal cav fly for each, which are divided by thin membrane, reflection of the peritoneum.
 Nine months ago, the Siamese twins ar rived in Cincinnati, and remained here some time. Mrs. H.. althoughshe neversaw them, heard much about them, and saw their re- presentation on paper frequently. What ttlnuSHcO thto iCIuAbCoC OutiOoly iudy DdtC had in the production of the Lusus Natur;e of which now write, 1 leave for the con. sideration of those who may think it wor- thy ofnotice. No doubt many grave spec ,ilations might be made on the occasion, by the advocates of the theories of the Nnyi Materni.
 At the request of Dr. Whitman, the children have been carefully and delicately preserved inthe, private anatomical cabinet of Professor Cobb, of the Medical College of Ohio.
 l have understood that a full and scienti- .fic report of the case sin preparation by one of the professional gentlemen present, and will be published in a Western Medi- cal Journal. I consider that such re- port, ably drawn upt assI l have no doubt 1t will be, will not only be curious and inter- es.;ass, but highly useful to the medical pro- fession.
 The mother of the children, am pleased have it in my power to say, is doing well.

The warehouses are full--many of the docks are filled six feet high with goods, and canal boats are constantly discharging fresh cargoes upon the top of the mass. All is hurry and activity; every thing carry ing d saiii or steam engine, is iii constant requisition; and the jaded appearance of the dock clerks, bears sufficient evidence of the task they daily accomplish.
