ANNAPOLIS, (MD. Jan. 10.


Applications for divorces are pouring in from all
quarters You would suppose, from the anxiety of
SO many to b. relieved from the marriage vow, that
the place of happiness is the single station" There
are some curious cases before the House One from
the Eastern Shore sets forth that the parties quarrel
led The day after wedding" and now haze each
other with "brotherly hate J" what this last is you
will find on reference 10 Byrons Letters he said he
loved 'good halcr," and methinks he would have
been cnraptured with the swain in this case
IT'S melancholy aud fearful sign
OF human iruiy, folly, also criiae,
That love aud marriage rarely can combine.
Within a few years divorces have been granted
with little objection, for almos, any cause, and the
indifference with which they pass is indeed "a
fearful sign of the absence in The majority of the
members Of the proper feeling 10 the sanctiy of
the marriage rite.
believe no one part of the State is distinguished
sbove another for the number of its applications for
divorces, unless it be the city of Baltimore. One
divorce if no more has already been granted TO per-
sons residing in that city, and there is score of
others pending.

State might and should specie payments in good
faith; and we believe, moreover, that there be
revival Of commerce or industry OF any sort-Bo mga-
non Of thai paralysis which is gradually destroying the
life Of this great clty--but in such course.
Instead then Of such deceptive and ilIusory snnun-
cations from few banks here and there let Us have
frank declaration that at any the banks OF the city

not very distant day.
That simple declaration would Instantly revive con

MR.. BOOTH.

This distinguished and popular tragedian is en-
gagged for a few nights at the National Theatre
where he made his first appearance on Tuesday
evening, in the character Of Richard he3d in which
he acquitted himself to the unanimous admiration
Of a crowded audience. Last evening he performed
the part of Sir Edpard Mortimer, in the Iron Chest
The performances of Mr.. Booth have long since
stood the test of criticism, and will abide that of
time. We may, therefore, be excused for not pre-
stunning to pass any judgment upon them. But for
the Interpretation of The soloquy in which Richard
Gas Duke of Gloucestcr,) makes his first appear
ance, we shall take the liberty to offer remark.
We remarked that the ACTOR, when he uttered
/" Made glorious summer by hiS Sun of York,
pointed to the sky if the ausion to the natural
SUM- If were so, the text would have no mean
ing; for what is sun of York" in tie armament,
any more than sun of Eascheap, or Shorediich9 ?
1t is not only unpoetical, but wholly unmeaning-
The allusion to The san" is to the cognizance or
coat of arms of Edward Nv, which was a sun, in
memory of the three suns, which are said 10 have
appeared at the battle which he gained over the
Lancastrians at Monimers cross. This interpretl-
ton not only reScues the text from its utter obscu.i
ty, lat clothes it in all the beauty and imagery of
poetry. ... ..."..
With Difference to public opinion that has so long
been settled down upon the grave and angry reading
of this soloquy, we think the first part of il, as far
as to But )" should be uttered in Wien Of cheerful
satisfaction, instead of gloomy discomfort; and the
atterportion should exhibit strong contrast offeengs
with the first.

In THE House, yesterday, the Mississippi
contested election continued TO be the subject
Of discussion. Mr.. Prentiss, one of the newly
elected members, made long defence of his
claims to seat, which we have heard much
complimonted.
In THE SENATE, the vote Of the day be-
fore, making the Sub-reasury scheme the or
der of the day for Tuesday, two weeks, was,
on motion Of Mr. Norvell, Of Michigan, re-
considered and made the order Of the day for
merit T'uesdy, Mr.. Webster Withdrawing all
objections. Why it is, that the friends of
the scheme should have been celebrating
upon the subject among themselves for SIR
peeks, and now bring in a bill to " change
the entire practice Of this government from
1889 down to this day" and indicate deter
mnation to hurry it throughthe Senate in the
short space of one ueek, we cannot divine,
unless it be that they shrink from scrutiny
and fear The consequences Of discussion. We
wish the country to know this fact, and to
bear in mind the signal evidence of liberality
manifested towards those friends of the adj
mnistration who are so unfortunate as to diff
fer from the Executive in this remarkable
measure We have no doubs counter pro-
joct will be presented-but the short time
given for the production Of plan of such
vast National importance, does not accord
with the expectations Of many of the friends
of the administration, nor is it credtable to
the late and oft-repeated professions Of defer
ence to the opinions Of others.
The scheme as reported, we arc perfectly
confident, neuer ,riH pass Congress.

BY what authority, then, we inquire, and for
what object have they been paid in the notes
81 an insolvent bank
We sincerely hope that there will not be
found any thing in the late transactions be-
tween the Sub-treasury advocates and this
bank which will justify suspicion, that they
might lead eventually to throwing discredit on
the deposite system and the banks generally,
and consequently sorve 10 favor the Sub.trea-
sury scheme.
If the Government loses any thing at all
by this bank, we apprehend the facts will
clearly show, that il arises from the illJudged
proceedings of its own officers.
We warn the Sub-treasury gentlemen, the
less they say on the subject Of the failure of
this bank, the better for them.
Before concluding, we wish to inquire,
where the correspondence is between the
Treasury Department and various public Off
GERS, in relation to defalcations, which was
called for by Mr.. Garland's resolution, during
the late extra session More than four
months have elapsed, and nothing heard OF it
yet We hope it will be forthcoming, so as
to be printed before the discussion Of the Sub
treasury bill, just reported, comes on.
If we are not greatly deceived, that will

Those piercing blue eyes, with their long
black lashes, haunted her sleep, aud she
started and wondered to find herself alone ;
they rose before her when her lips parted
to breathe her evening prayer, and the sin
of such wandering thoughts made her clasp
her hands more strongly, and speak the
words more hurriedly, that she might by
those means recover her self-possesson.
Every chord she struck, when her father
bid her sihg to him, brought the young
strangers form before her; and even when
gazing on that fathers face, and thinking
ot The days of her childhood. a shadow
would seem to rise and bring, not the
bright stream by Ben Cruach's side, nor
the iaml'ier scenes of those stormy days.

Two weeks in succession have we beer
led to state untru.hs respecting the Geor.
gia election by making up our returns from
the New York Express. So much for tax
ing hoco POGO paper for our guide-we
shall remember it in future. On the eu-
,hority ofthe Express we said tha, the dem.
ocratic candidate for Governor had been
elected, when the fact is the Governor was
chosen las, year for term of two years.

NEW Jersey.

The hoco papers at last pretty generally
acknowledge that five of the Democrat,
candidates for Congress have an averag,
majority of7I votes. But the votes Of one
towu where we have LOG majority, hive, il
is said, been thrown out and not returned
by the hoco POGO CLERK of the county, fol
some nlledged illegality or informally. In
this case but three on our ticket will receive
certificates Of election. II is also said that
other votes have been thrown out by the
hocos, so as to give their candidates the ma
joriiy of votes returned.
As we sad last week, the hocos are trv-
ing all schemes to cheat our candidates ou,
of'heir certificates of election and give them
to their own. To show what small holes
the hocos are willing to crowl through to
attain their ends, we copy the following
sentence from the Newark Advertiser, a
hcco print -
"The same clerk also rejected the re-
turn for Deer6eld, it having been errone
ously made for the thirty-sizth Congress-
The average Whig vote in tha, township
was l76; average Van Buren vote, 275."
Is not this enough to prove the hoco
POGO character of the party who sanction
such conduct Is it not worthy of the party
who claim TO comprise all the deceney, dig
nity and talent in the country1
The Evening Post, however, is of opin-
ion that these hoco POGO tricks will not G.
yentnally avail their authors and abet,ors
much. The Post says Their are some
rumours in town that certain votes in New
Jersey are to be rejected, and tho federal
candidates to receive "A certificate of cleo
ton. Such certificate would not be worth
n straw, if the votes Of the whole people are
not allowed. The democracy cannot he
hocus pocused out Of their rights; and if
the officers at Trenton have not the honesty
to carry out the expressed will of the peo-
pie, Congress must set the matter right
The democracy Of the State Of New Jersey
are the majority as the votes show"
The votes were to be counted yesterday by
the Governor and Council, and to- morrow
we shall have their decision.
