Of certain Mr. Lawrence aud his wife
Miss. " ard, Of Louisville, once ''the
belle Of the west HE parties were
rusti Latlng at Nahant; boarding at

er suspicious, and Cig!!kcd to lave her
exchange common civiltirs with am
one. One day he procured an open car

She declined because she was dressed
thin and did not fancy IN open carriage.
He persisted with his request. and she

Shortly afterwards a gentleman and two
ladies called, ard invited Mrs. L. to 90

She declined, stating what had passed
between herself and Nj L.. but they
urged her, till she yielded. Now this
might have passed off well enough had
not the watchiul husband lrom his car

two vehicles passed each other on the
beach. Out jumped Mr. L., stopped the
coach, burst open the coach deer ard in
sisted upon having bis wife return with
him. she refused, and he used most
abusive language. The gentleman in
the coach slipped OFT, and unobserved
by the disputants took TIE open carriage
and drove home. This was neatly done,
IN our opinion, as ii reversed tie case,
and compelled Mr.. l.. to go home With
his wife instead of she with him. This
affair endt by a tologrG phic despatch
being sent from Boston oct West 10 the

rectly. He came and took Mrs. l..
back with him, saying she could never
come 10 Boston again, and Mr. l.. should
never visit at his house. The parties
had been married but shoit time; we
have Yankees ight to e,.cs that the
greatest recommendation that the gen
tleman had IN the eyes OF the lady was
that he was the son Of has father abbot

THE LAST EUROPEAN NEWS.
Full files of European papers and C

Full files of European papers and cor
respondence having been received, we are
at length able TO form definite opinion of
the condition of Europe at the departure
of the last steamer. The situation OF
France seemed in statu quo, the influence
of the state of siege being every where per-
ceptible, not the least in the fact that only
the journals friendly to the Administra-
ton had the right to comment on public af-
fairs, and that those Of the opposition could
exist only by the observance of the great
est care. "They see," says the Courier
des Etats- UniS, s'that sword of Damocles,
which the Assembly confded to the Execu-
tive, perpetually suspended above their
heads" France is evidently in state Of
deep anxiety as to the future, and the perma-
nence of the government seems to depend
on the fate of Oudinot's army at Rome.
If that general be successful, it is not too
much to expect that the constitutional
military enthusiasm of the people will
be excited, and that the government of
Louis Napoleon will be triumphantly sus-
tanned. If unsuccessful, it would not i'm
probably find that it had lost the support
Of the army. The Romans, too, seem
aware of this, and defer the surrender by
every means in their power, trusting that
some lucky event will rescue them from
their difficulties
German affairs are also Of engrossing in
terest. The Central Directory, formed,
by common consent, of Prussia, Saxony,
and Hanover, is installed at Berlin, thus
adding to the anarchy of the German
union. On the other hand, the remnant of
the Assembly has been driven from Stuff
gard, and wanders homeless from city to
city. The course of Wurtemberg in relation
to this, and the defeat of the insurgents in
Baden, declare that the influence of the
Frankfort Assembly is over, and that the
league of sovereigns is destined to solve the
difficulties of the establishment of literary
union. The Russian armies, however,
continue to advance into Hungary, and
the next steamer may bring the news OF
the restoration of Austrian influence.

mixing the kellis with it, but not ntermixing the

although a slight mixture may take place between
the clay and kellis from the action Of the sub soil

there must depend upon the depth to which the

THE RE,UBLIC.

We receive very numerous letters in
relation to the non-reteption Of the Repub-
lie by subscribers and the journals with
which we exchange. We have no doubt
that these complaints are generally well
founded, but the difficulties unavoidably
incident to an enterprise weighty as ours,
must, for the present, be taken by our
friends as an excuse. Arrangements are
now being made, however, Of so complete
a character, that if the paper be not duly
received hereafter, the fault will not have

dents have done. Where it was not his
province to interfere, he has permitted
the Cabinet to arrange their appointments
in their own way. Where the response
bility of an appointment was in the Presl-
dent, he has exercised it; and the idea
of conflict, or collision, or comparison of
opinion as between himself and the Cabi-
net, and of his voting with or against
members of his Cabinet, or his being out
voted or voted down, or his having failed
In any instance to exercise the entire
Presidential power as vested in him by the
Constitution and the laws of his country,
is all fable and falsehood It has never
been General TAYLoR's habit to shirk
responsibilities, or to interfere with the
duties that properly belong to his subor-
dinates. He has looked to his officers for
the proper discharge of their duty, and
has not sought to thwart or embarrass
them in the mode Of doing it. Nor has
he ever permitted them, in any situation
in which he has been placed, to control
his judgment, or to substitute their will
for his own.
Will the opposition journals which have
given currency to the falsehood, give
room also to the correction of it
