The CHILDREN OF NATURALIRED CITIZENS.
We fnd the following important opinion,
given by Reverdy Johnson, Esq, in the last

My opinion has been requested on this
question:. Are The children of parents nat".

States, who were under II years of age at the
period Of the parents naturalization, entitled,
themselves, TO the privileges Of Citizenship!

they are. The question turns altogether upon

section OF that act.
am sure that il admits Of but one inte.pre-
talion, andsthat Is, that no matter under what
law. or at wha. period, if the parents are nat
uraIized, their children, it then under age, are,

Mr.. EDITOR AS You have for some time past
taken such strong and Just ground against the loan
ing by our city banks, OF the sacred property OF
widows and orphans entrusted TO their charge,
upon worthless or uncertain stocks, and as you
seem to think these institutions, after making their
quarterly returnst the Comptroller about again
to repunge into this dangerous speculation, for II
deserves no better name, hope you will give place
to this communication, the object OF which is TO
say, that aope public meeting OF all the stock
holders OF all our city banks may be held forth
with, or at very early day, at the Merchants Ex-
change, to demonstrate against these hazardous
stock loans.
The feeling of all stockholders, except few
devil brokers' is wholly opposed to this trlfilne

BALL COSTUME AND MASQUERADE very ee-
CANT and recherche affair Of this description came
off on Friday evening last. About one hundred
persons appeared in character, az bngands, noble
men, broom girls, gypsies, fortuneteIers, and so
on. A very choice supper was provided, and the
whole affair passed off very pleasantly.
There was another masquerade ball up town on
the same evening, which was of somewhat diff
ferent character. We shall give a full account OF
it in few days, illustrated by spirited engraving.

Ii will be recollected lha, an appro.
priation Of 100000 was made during
the last session Of Congress, for the
purpose of trying an experiment with
Prof. Morse's Electro Magnetic Tele-
graph. between the cities Of Baltimore
and Washington. We have ascertain.
ed that the work is rapidly progressing.
About a month ago, those having the
contract commenced laying the leaden
pipe, in which are placed The electric
wires. In the course of few DAYS it
became necessary 10 suspend opera
tons. for the purpose of procuring more
suitable material. This was obtained,
and the work again resumed. Tho
pipes (about an inch in diameter.) are
now laid from the signal Office in Nc
Henry, near Poppleton street. Bal,i.

Of nine miles They follow the course

Observation-Disclosures and pru-
dence may make marriage happy; but
what can be expected but disappoin,-
ment and repentance from choice
made in the imma,urity Of youth. in
ardor of desire, without judgment.
without foresight, without inquiry into
conformity Of opinions. similarity OF
manners. reclitude of judgment, or puri-
ty of sentiment! Such is the common
process of marriage. A youth and
maiden meeting by chance. or brought
together by arli6ce. exchange glances,
reciprocate civiliiies, 60 home and
dream of one another; and having little
to divert attention or diversity thought,
they find themselves uneasy when they
are apart, and therefore conclude they
shall be happy together. They marry,
and discover what nothing but volun,a.
nv blindness before had concealed.
They wear out life with alterations,
and charge nature with cruelty.

BURR AND WRIT.

Il ought to be stated, 10 the honor oil
William Writ. that he tried to rouse
the Virginians to the moral importance
OF rearing some statue or monument to
Pochahon,as. He was the champion
of her memory, and where he failed,
we may well despair Of success. We
highly appreciate the Letters Of the
Spy. That work in my opinion would
have done honor TO the reign Of Queen
Anne, and its author would have been
fit associate for Gay, Steele and Ad-
ison. He should have been an insula.
ted man of letters; for the muses. love
the grove rather than the forum; and
yet Writ was distinguished barrs,er.
He figured in the trial of Burr, which
took place in Richmond, about 1907.
What an eyentfuI life was Burr's!
Descended Of illus,rious ancestry-full
of military fre-a barristcr of distlnc-
tion-a Senator in Congress--a Vice
President Of the United Slaies--lhe
duelist of Hoboken--an exile from his
country--a wanderer in Europe--un-
noticed in the metropolis of Eng land
a beggar on the Somehow can we
forge. tina, he was here imprisoned and
arraigned; and that here his daughter
arrived from her own palm tree shade,
and tasted her filial fidelity! On this
occasion Writ appeared for the prose-
cuiion. Zeno compared logic TO the
hand when shut, and rhetoric to the
same hand when open; and in the very
midst of the dry law argument, Writ
suddenly unfolded the palm of elo-
quence. and dispersed with liberal pro-
fusion all the shrubs and flowers Of a
Blannerhasset's Island. We were sur
prised that no one during our stay in
Richmond expressed even a wish tina,
his remains should be brought to the
city. The English denied Milton a
burial in Westminster -nbbvy, .iovsh
they permitted his name TO be written
on its wall. The name Of Writ is no,
even inscribed on The wall of the Cap.
itol, bu, it is imperishably enrolled on
all the rocks of the James-it spar
kles in the beams which play on its
wa:erfalls-and it is securely wrapl
up among its tufted woods, and among
all the folds of its coy and bewilching
scenery. In like manner the remains
OF Byron were cent off to Hucknall
Torkard, near Newstead. The wri.
ings of Byron were immortal, but when
Writ went down the inclined plane Of
death, a man of virtue was lost from
the arena of life. And if he were the
only prose poet to whom the people of
Richmond could point, it would be
well for them TO be possessed of one
grave to which they might lead the
stranger. Let him sleep amid scenery
he loved so well, that the ,hrong of the
city, when relaxing from the cares of
the day, may say what Collins said of
Thompson
''ln yonder grave Druid lies,
Where slowly winds the stealing wave;
Let Springs all fragrant buds arise
To deck the Poets sylvan grave"
