 Princess Victoria, New Queen of England.- cess Victoria, from the London Chronicle of the 2Oth June:
 We rejoice to think that the youthful Prin- cess, whom we now hail as our Sovereign, has had advantages which were denied to her predecessor. Possessed of excellent intel lectual gifts, which have been carefully and wisely cultivated under the care of most exemplary mother, she ascends the throne with full Knowledge ot all that belongs to the full discharge ofthe duties of her exalted station. She knows the means by which the happiness of the people may be best promo ted, and will no doubt select for her advisers the men who best understand the wishes and wants of the nation, and in whom the nation, in return, reposes confidence. She will SUD- port them in those salutary measures of Re- form which are still needtul, and which the improved system of parliamentary reprcsen- tation is to be considered only as the means of efft ctlng, complete the good work which her predecessor has begun, and render the British constitution in reality, what it's great est enemies have often, for their own sinister ends pretended is 10 be, the most perfect sys- tenn of government to be found on the face of the earth.

Tmenty four persons aoere killed, the greater part of them women, and more than 30 were wound ed. In consequence of this disaster, the fete oi the Hotel de Vile was postponed till the 18th.
 Among the victims are young coIlegian and the wife of rich merchant recently re- tired from business. Three of the deceased belonged to one family.
 Of the wounded IA had since died, up to the 18th; making the whole number of lives lost by this extraordinary accident 35 Some others were in dangerous condition.

 Mfr. Webster, and the Sabbath.-The Albany Argus, the Globe, ct onne genus, with that hy- pocritical cant of piety upon their lips, have been attacking Mir. Webster for violating the Sabbath, in visiting garrison near St. Lou is on Sunday. The Commercial Advertiser is "authoriZed by him to say, that there is not particle of truth in the whole story.- MT. Webster visited the Jefferson barracks on his way to St. Louis, and paid his respects It was not on Sunday, nor was there any military parade whatever. Nor has MT. Webster visited any public place but a church, on Sunday, at any period or place of his journey. It is true he arrived at Buffa- To in the steamboat tearly on Sunday mor- ming, and heard two good sermons in the course of the day. We hope the editors of the Globe and Argus were as we'll employ ed."
