HALF MAKRIED.-An English paper contains
the following bit of information; at the same time
bit of warning 10 all those who liable to be in
a like situation " Not long since, while marriage
ceremony in progress, a most amusing clFcum
stance occurred which completely put stop to the
performance at a most interesting part of it, and
sent the disappointed maiden and her anxious lover
TWO different ways, anything but rejoicing. 1t ap-
pears that the young couple had gone separately to
the church for the purpose of being made one The
ceremony went on wen enough until the minister
came to the words 9 with this ring thee wed -
when the bride essaying to take her glove off her
maiden hand for the lastItime, could not effect it
Whether it was agitation or heat, nervousness or
or Precipitation, the leather chung to her hand
man ought TO do, and would not part company
The bride blushed and pulled the bridegroom
(bod man y laughed outright so did the father; so
did the mother; so did the spectators; except the
clergyman, and he exclaimed, 81 did not come here
to be laughed att" and shutting the book, left the
ceremony half finished, the bride half married, and
the glove half off 1t is happily added, however,
apparently for the information Of all who may sym
pathze with the disappointed fair one, that she tried
the next day with more success. That time she
went to church with glOveless hands, and the nup-
tial knot was tied, tight as a glove"

A HEROIC SEAMAN.-The New York Express
calls upon the city authorities of New York 10 take
public notice Of the humane services ofJerome,
the heroic seaman, who rescued so many persons
from the Ocean Monarch. He has received grant
of ESQ from the British treasury, by order of the
Queen; and gold medal from the Liverpool Ship
wreck and Humane Society. 1t is also said that
when the Henry Clay was stranded near New
York, Jerome rescued many lives, and having wit
messed his exertions that occasion, the mate of
the Ocean Monarch, knowing him to be on board
the New World, then close to, went to him in
boat, and brought him to the wreck of the Ocean
Monarch. He is a resident of New York, and has
sailed in the American service for some years, and
has wife and children in Water street, in that
city. The ship New World will arrive in one or
two days, with the man on board and for the credit
of humanity and of the city, the Express hopes that
the city authorities will pass some resolutions with
regard to him.

Murphy arrested some days since as the receiver of
a tarpaulin, alleged b. have been stolen, was yes
terday discharged by Recorder Golding, the prose-
cutor, John Fitzpatrick, refusing to appear.
COnlmited.-Wm. Dryer, accused of violent
assault and battery on the person of VIM. Compton
some evenings since on Common street, and at the
same time striking a Miss Roche, was committed
for trial before the First District Court. The ac-
cused is a much more respectable looking man than
those who are usually arraigned on such changes,
and we understand has hitherto borne an excellent
character. On the Recorder asking him if he had
any questions to put to the witnesses, he replied
that it would be useless for him to put any, as on
that night-an exception to his general habits he
was intoxicated and SO much so, as to be unable to
recOllect a single circumstance that occurred he
did not even recolect striking any one. He ex-
pressed his regret for the violence he was told he
had been guilty Of and said he was willing to make
every reparation in his power.

arrested yesterday afternoon, charged with steal

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ENTERPRIsE.-The
difference between the English and Americans is
well illustrated in the following from the London
SPECTATOR
The debate in the House of Commons at the close
of last week. concerns a great deal more than its
Ostensible subject the lease of VancOuVers Island
for eleven years, to the Hudson's Bay Company !;
the whole subject of our colonial administration
was really involved. The affair from which Mr.
Christy and Mr.. Gladstone took the official veil,
presents monstrous expose Of what cannot be
called less than malversatiOn-a malversatiOn the
more mOnstrOus since it appears, on the face of it.
to be without the motives of ordinary corruption
it seems TO be in sheer ideness or incompetency
that Ministers have been proposing to give away
the lands which the Crown holds in trust for the
country; sacrificing with those lands the CONNER
cial and political prospects of England on the
Pacific.
If you look at the map of North America you
will see, West of the Rocky Mountains, that vast
tract called Oregon, which was so warmly contest
ed between the English and Americans some years
back. The English claimed it on the right of pre-
vious discovery; Vancouver touched upon the coast
before Lewis and Clarke descended the Columbia
and Mackenzie preceded them in traversng the
country, though his route turned the Rocky Noun
tains far to the North English subjects therefore
trod the land before the Republicans, whose early
attempts at settlement failed. Very different, how
ever has been the recent history of the REGION since
it was finally divided between Great Britain and
the United States the English part remains
DESERT while the other part is already territory"
annexed to the great UniOn cooniZed and pro-
vided with form of government. The recently
divided region, therefore, exhibits the most remark
able contrast in the progress achieved by the two
sections of the same Anglo-Saxon race-the Eng
lish and the American. A similar contrast, we
fear, might be observed along the boundary of the
two states, right across the continent from the
Atlantic 10 the Pacific; but West of the Rocky
Mountains it is glaring and unmistakeable.
There is something ominous in these contrasts.
