Gen. Taylor and Jefferson Ddvis.-QueeF
things happen in this world. A few years ago,
a young man on the banks Of the Southern
Mississippi, eloped with the daughter Of an
old planter, as the father would not consent
10 the marriage. Time rolled on; the daugh-
ter died aud the father and widowed husband
INST on the bloody but victorious field of Bue-
ma Vista. On that terrible day, amid scenes
Of carnage and valor. the gallant young hero
sustained we'll and nobly the gallaniry Of
his countrymen. and the old hero extending to
him his hand for the first time since the mar.
rage of his daughter, said" Sir. my daugh.
ter was better judge of character than am.
Here is my hand"
Two years have passed away. A Presi'
dent is to be inaugura'ed. The son.in.law,
now a member of the U. S. Senate. is ap.
pointed chairman Of a committee to wait upon
the President and inform him Of his election.
Again the father and son-in,law meet. That
was prond day for Jefferson Davis. 1t was
his hour Of victory. We would rather have
been Davis than Taylor. The sweet whis'
perings Of the spirit voice Of the departed
one ~ must have been with him there.

'The undersigned, Charge d'Afaires

that, the Kings Government having ox-

with the Sicilians without being able to
effect an anicable arrangement, he has
been forced to blockade the port and
gulf Of Palermo and it's dependencies, in
order to prevent the introduction of mer-
chandize and articles of war in the whole
extent of the island of Sicily. The block
ade was began in the first days of April,
and the vessels of the Neapolitan squad

coasts. The undersigned, in consequence,
prays the Hon. Secretary of State to give
to this communication the most extensive
circulation as soon as possible, in order
that the commerce of the United States
with Sicily may be warned in time to
take such measures as may be considered
necessary to avoid the dangers.

North Riuer Steam Boat Empire Sunk.
The splendid steam boat Empire, run
ming between New York and Albany,
was run into by sooner on Thursday
night last. near Newburg, and sunk in
stantly. She had about three hundred
passeng $ on board, all of whom, our
correspondent says, with the exception
oftwelve, were saved No further par
ticulars are given, but it can well he con-
ceived that in the confusion that must
have resulted from the accident, the loss
of life could not be well ascertained, and
may be more or less than is stated. 1t
would be difficult to ascertain, among
such a mass of human beings, who, or
how many were saved or drowned.
LIVERPOOL MARKET.
The latest accounts from Liverpool by

thousand bales Cotton were made on the

that the prices were fully up to the rates
quoted the previous day.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
Our correspond informs us that de-
spatch from st. Louis announces that
one half of that city was destroyed by
fire on Thursday night last Five Bank
ing houses and every Insurance office
were a prey Of the devouring flames. All
the stores fronting on the River were dae.
stroyed, and twenty seven steam boats,
lying at the wharves, were involved in
the general destruction This is one of
the most devastating fires that it has
been our province to record for many
years, if the accounts are not exaggerated
We fervently hope that the details may
show that the first reports of the contlag-
ration may be incorrect.

PROSPECTUS OF THE rwENrY-rovRru VOLUME

PROSPECTUS OF THE TwENTY-FoURTu VOLUME
The Twenty-fourth Volume of the
Democratic Review proceeds to its read
ers under different auspices FROM those
which have smiled upon it's progress hith-
erto. New arrangements have become
necessary, internally, as well as renewed
exertions to promote its welfare external
ly. The unfortunate divisions Of the par
ty have resulted in reverse more severe
than any that has been experienced for
many terms. The outgoing administra-
ticn leaves the country in every position
politically, territorially, commercially
and financially, more renowned, more ex-
tended, more prosperous, and in higher
credit than it had ever before attained. -
The prosperity which pervades the coun-
try, and the glory that surrounds its flag,
are mainly, if not entirely, due to those
sound principles clearly recognised by an
American public, and carried to their full
filment through the steady loyalty of the
Democratic Party.
That schisms have been created by de-
signing men, as dangerous to party as
condency as to national welfare, affords
additional reasons for more rigorous ex-
ertions, the cultivation of a spirit of for
bearance, and that self sacrificing patriot
ism which has for SO long period been
distinguishing feature of democracy
For whatever Of evil NAV spring fromfed-
eral ascendancy. those who defeated the
democratic party by heartless desertion
in its hour Of trial must be held accounta-
BILE; and we doubt not that November,
1852, will witness cetribution that will
be more terrible to false friends than to
open foes.
The accustomed features Of the Re-
view will be continued, including Por-
traits and Biographies Of distinguished
Democrdts-men whose patriotic princi-
pies and steadiness of purpose have won
the confidence of the people.
We have to remind our readers that
the low terms on which we furnish the
Review makes it indispensable that the
payment of the subscriptions should be
In ADvAEcE and that the expenditure
Incurred to improve tho work can be met
only by the prompt remittance Of sub
scriptions.

request to have the matter brought to
