A late Bremen Gazette contains The fol.
lowing information relative to erDigr alton
from Germany Texas:
1.-The Government Of Hesse Cassel has
been requested TO favor emigration to that
part Of Texas which belongs by purchase TO
the Rhenish company, which includes sever
al German sovereigns, especially The Dukes
Of Nassau and SAKE Meinengen. 1t was
proposed the proper authority to recommend
the settlement Of Texas, and the
dation has not been without success. In the
present month duly a great number of
Hessians commenced their journey from the
city of Cassel and its vicinity. Various per.
sons skilled in the arts, and not without
property, have Joined them; and, since the
annexation of Texas to the United States, the
number of those who desire to emigrate has
increased.

LocoFaIsA-TAE TARIFF.-IL il amusing
to see the course pursued by the democratic
party on the question of tho tariff. The Ian.
guago ofthe UNfoN gives to understand that
attempts will be made in congress to reduce
the taritfto a revenue standard, and that Pres
ident Polk will recommend such a measure
in his next message. This has aroused the
fear Of the Pennsylvania Iocos, who were de.
luded to vote for Polk, by the cry of "PoIk
and the tariff and the represen nations made
by ~demagogues, backed by the celebrated
Kane letter, that Polk was more ola tariff
man than Clay. A convention was called
to meet at Hollidaysburg on the 18th instant

t~inuance Of the present tariff, The Pittsburg
Mercury and other democratic papers in that

P A case of breach Of promis was tried
IN the New York Court Of common Pleas a
rev days since, in which Miss Sarah Steel
was the plaintiff and Mr.. Lewis Francis the
defendant. The jury gave a verdict in favor
Oh me former, stating The damages at 81 900.
The court, in it's charge TO the jury, stared
that a promise of marriage can be implied
from the acts of the parties. If a man pays
such attention TO female as 10 make it ap-
pear that he is afianced to her, the law will
imply a promise on his part-and ifa female,
IN keeping company with him, sheaa BY her
ac's that she reciprocates his affection, a mu.
Nual promise Is implied. and either patty c. n
maintain a suit. On the other hand If the Ia.
dy shews GOODNESS and want Of attachment,
the law does not imply a mutual promise, and
the defendant would be at liberty TO marry
some one else. 10 the present case the court
considers, from the acts Of the parties, that
there had been mutual promise, but that is a
subject for the consideration Of the Jury, as il
the question of damagsg, bearing 10 mind the
