Mn. FoRREsr AND ms DwoRcE.-A short time
ago, Cbevsler Wikofi went on from this city, as
agent Of Mrs Forrest, 10 Philadelphia, for the pur
pose Of seeing Mr.. Forrest, and of bringing about
a settlement Of the difficulties between the two
parties, and an allowance 10 the lady Of certain
sum per annum. lie arrived in Philadelphia on
his mission, and solicited an interview with Mr.
Forrest. Nr. Forrest, knowing the animal, would
have nothing TO do with him. The Chevalier then
applied to the counsel Of MIR. Forrest, and between
them, very curious interview took place, highly
illustrative Of the peculiar moral, and classical qua
hfcaiions Of Wikoff for his mission. Since then,
the attempt TO settle matters quietly has failed, and
we learn that new and important evidence has
been discovered in reference 10 Mrs Forrest, which
will be brought out before court and jury in PHI
ladelphs, and will settle the whole affair to the
satisfaction OF all parties-tha, is final and posi-
tive divorce According TO all accounts, the finale

The LAWRENCE DIVORCE CAsE.-Mrs. Sallie
Lawrence has slipped out of the matrimonial
moose, through the action ofthe legal authorities of
Louisville. She is now free, and the Lawrence
family are free, only that they have to supply
the public with correspondence between the par
ties, some time since announced as in preparation
We have received several letters from the West
on the subject Of the divorce, some in favor Of
Sallie, and some not SO complimentary, according
to down-eastern views of decorum. All of these
letters show that the belle Of Louisville has great
individuality OF character-that she is only her
own parallel-and that had her lines fallen in plea
SAINT places, ell might have been well. So far as
we can Judge, fashionable life in Louisville and
the West, compared TO that of Boston and Down
East, is rreconcilable as fire and water. or gun
powder and fire. The mixture Of the two is wholly
out Of the question. The one must die il merged
in the other, and even a contact might produce
destructive explosion. Louisville and the West
are free, unrestrsined, go-ahcadative. Boston and
Down East are shackled, conventional, and slow
coachy. One would dash through the market
place, in a feminine way, and only stop TO pay a
fine Of twenty dollars, and be off ssaia--tbs other
would walk as demurely as quaker, compared
with the other earth-quaker, and never attract ex-
traordinary attention. Such is the difference be-
tween the two.
However, we shall not the cad Of this affair
till the Boston family come GU, with that CORE
spondence. Till then, people will blame them.

NEeRoEs IN RAnRoAD Cans AND OMnrpusxs-
journals, rejoicing in their respectability, and de-
voted TO abolition and free soil doctrines, are
seriously depreeatng the practice, now permit
ted by certain railroad companies, and individu-
ais. of allowing ladies' and gentlemen of the
A fricap race to take their seats in cars and
omnibuses. great deal of vrtuoas Indignation
is felt and expressed by these honest explorers
into the rights OF negrodom. II has been common,
and proper as we'll as common, to furnish outside
and retired places for such portions of the peculiar
race, but the latitude given by the free soil journals
TO theoretical rights does not seem so agreeable in
its practical exempfcation. The absurdities of po-
tical virtue are thus exposed by the practices Of
social equality.
| II negroes are, as the philosophical Fourierite
Greeley, maintains, descended from the lily white
| Adam and Eve, of Eden, and have the same rights
| as the old coat and boot-hitched trousers, we do
not see why considerable contrasts of color could
not be brought out at the OPERA in the dress circle
provided the negroes engaging seats wear white
| kid gloves and arrange their hair-in which busi-
ness they unco skilful. The mixture of white
and black would lend lustre to the lily and the
rose, add perfume to the violet, and create quite
brilliant effect altogether. However, we do not
think it would be prudent to try the experiment,
unless the house should be otherwise wholly occu-
pied with free soers. The oppo, ,ition to the ap-
pearance of negroes in public conveyances, by the
political canting sfthe day, however, shows the
hoowness of their pretensions and the absurdity of
their theories. II shows that their whole political
artillery the slavery field is brought forward to
| blow out powder and create great deal of smoke
and noise TO no purpose but to humbug and deceive
/ the public mind.
Now, we do not believe that the negro race are
! desce nded from the white Adam and Eve, any more
than we think that they are the posterity of mon
keys. The monkey in a menagere is a very inter-
esting and curious animal, and could he chatter
intelligby, would, probably, be quite indignant at
being clsssed with any other race We venture to
believe that if Lord Monboddo's work on the affin-
ty of their was given TO any respectable mon
key he would tear il TO pieces with perfect
| rage, and throw the leaves about with the most in
different contempt. 1t is this belief that makes
respectful towards the monkey race; and, for SINH
lar reasons, we like ito pay due respect to the
| negro and to the Anglo-Saxon race-and every
other raceeach in their proper course, and in their
proper sphere. II is lamentable TO perceive in an
immense country like ours, ennobled by the energy
and perseverance of the most exalted race Of the
earth, and numbering fifteen millions of white
inhabitants, quarrelling, debating, agtatng
by doing, jeopardsing the great interests of the
people-a question that ought never to have been
raised to the dignity of one, any more than the
origin of the monkey tribe. When will the folly

GENERAL TAYLOR Conc To NrwPoRr.-We
understand that General Taylor, President of the
United States, has received an invitation from
Prescott Hail, TO spend the summer months at
Newport II is well known that Mr.. Hall has a
very pretty retreat that island, called Maverne
Farm, which is situated within cannon shot of the
Ocean House, and another fashionable resort. Gen.
Taylor's whole household from the White House,
will probably be the guests OF Mr. Hall, at Mslverns
Farm, where the old hero will endeavor to arrange
all the difficulties Of the government for the next
session of Congress, during the quiet and pleasant
evenings, under the moonlight of Newport.
In consequence Of the probability Of General
Tsylor's visit TO Newport, a great many other
fashionable people, in want ofoffce, are going down

practice. however, Of citizens of New York spend
