irresistible necessity - Nat. mt
a- The BANK OF WASHINGTON announces to
Tho ruhl;c it's inability to continue, for the pre-
sent sen specie payments. In adopting this neces-
sitous and unpleasant course, the Directors con-
fdently assert that the affairs of the Institution

It will proceed to collect its means as fast as the
times will authorize, and fairly and fully pay all
its creditors; and in this, entire confidence may
be reposed.

A gay Irishman, a short time since, arrived
at the Hotel de Suede, in the Rue de Richelieu
Paris, and having quantity of dirty linen, sent
for a washerwoman, and told her to pick it up
from the floor. Shortly afterwards the washer
woman returned, and to the travellers great
surprise put into his hand a number OF bank
notes, which had been negligently left among
the linen. The Irishman was very grateful, and
strongly urged the young woman to accept
reward for her honesty; but she resolutely re-
fused to do so, and seemed quite Inundated at
the offer. Some days afterwards a marriage was
celebrated at the church Of st. Thomas d'Aquin,
which attracted vast number of persons. 1t
was easy to perceive, from the dress and man.
ner of the bridegroom, that he was foreigner,
and from the timid and embarrassed deport-
ment Of the bride, that she did not belong to the
same class as her intended, and that it was de-
cidedly marriage of inclination. The above
anecdote got into circulation among the crowd
i'm a word the bride was none other than the
young washerwoman, whom the Irishman had
thought worthy of sharing his fortune and des-
tiny.-London paper.
