What was liis native c0gnomen,-whether it was 1 the Red Lightning, or the tSlarnl King, , or Walk-in-the- w ater, '--we kuss* not l; but in plain English l,c is known Us Peter Jones' An Indian is rare spectacle in England. He was feasled by the rich and great. Carriages, and servants in livery awaited his pleasure, and bright eyes spara- led when he was named. He was locked upon as a great chiet--a priace--an Indian king and many romantic young ladies, who had never passed beyond the sound of Bow bell, dreamed oftIle charms oC solitude deserts idle, '-of the greater west of inc roaring of mighty ca,aracts. aud the boun- | ding of the bufaloes over the lIimiiable prairies ;--of noble chieiiains, leading arr mics otplamed and lofty warriors. x
 Among others, was the charming daugh- ter of Il gentleman of Lambeth, of wealth and responsibility. But shclhough not of wedding an Indian, even though lie were a great chief--or half king-not she! Bu, Peter Jones saw, or thought he saw--for the Indian cupids arc not blind--,hat tho yo0ng lady had susceptible heart. Avail- ing himself, therefore, ofa ride with tue fair creature, he said something to her which she chose not to understands told h to her mother. Peter Jones sought other op- portunities of saying similar things, which the damsel could not comprehend-before him-bnt she continued so repeat them to her mother. He sought an interview with her. It was refused.-He repeated the request. It was still refused, but il, a less positive manner. Finally an interview was granted him with the mo,her---ana the result was, that before Peter Jones embarked on his return to ilis native woods, it was agreed that they might breathe their thoughts to each other on paper across the great waters. Thus was another point gained. And, in lhe end. tO make long story short, a meet- ing was agreed upon, to take place the, present season in this city, with view of marriage. The idea is very unpleasant, with us. of such ili-sorted mixtures of col- ors. But prejudices against red and dnsky skins are not 50 strong in Europe..as they are hero.
 On Tnesiay morning of last week. a beautiful young lady, with fairy form grace in her step, and heaven in her eye --siept on shore from the elegant packet ship United S,ates. She was attended by two clerical friends Thigh respectabiiity--- who, by tl,e way, were no friends Ofher roc mantle enterprise. She waited with impa-

 In short time chairs were placed in 3 conspicuous position at the head of the drawiDg- their backs to the pier-ta- blc.
