jenny Lind'S Visit TO America.

1t is now positively arranged that JENNY
LIND, the celebrated vocalist, is 10 visit
the United States. P. Il. Barnum has
written letter TO the--New York Herald
on the subject, from which we copy the
following:
Miss. Find has numerous better offers
than the one she has accepted from me;
but she has great anxiety to visit Amer
ica; she speaks of this country and its in
stitutions in the highest terms of rapture
and praise, and as money is by no means
the greatest inducement that can be laid
before her, she has determined to visit US.
In her engagement with me. (which en-
gagement includes Havana as well as the
United States,) she expressly reserves the
right to give charitable concerts whenever
she thinks proper.
Since her debut in England, she has
given to the poor, from her own private
purse, more than the whole amount which
L have engaged TO give her, and the pro-
ceeds of concerts, for charitable purposes
in Great Britain, where she has sung gra-
tuitously, have realized more than ten
times that amount.
During the lasg eight months, she
hdS oCCu singing Cii'iiCiy SidtuilouSiy, iOi
charitable purposes, and she is now foun-
ding benevolent institution IN Stockholm
her native city, at cost of S35O,O00.
A visit from such woman, who regards
her high artistic powers as gift from
Heaven, for the amelioration of affiiction
and distress, and whose every thought and
deed is philanthropy, feel persuaded will
prove blessing TO America, as she has TO
every country which she has visited, and
| feel every confidence that my country
men and women will join me heartily in
saying "may God bless her."

repres ented Montgomery county, for
number Of years, and is acknowledged by
all who know him. TO be one of the ablest
men in our State Legisl ature, is mentioned
in number of Eastern papers. Mr.. Nor.
risor is one of those thorough going demo-
Gratis, who accedes TO the decision of the
monarch multitude, all important political
questions, and from his industrious habits

much time on any political question, and is
truly man of deeds, rather than of words,

.9n0ther United States Consul

.4nother United States Consul Insul-
ted.-The Portsmouth (Va.) Pilot, of the
18th INST, has seen letter from Punta
Palma, under date of January 4th, which
says:-From what hear, understand
that our Consul has been repeatedly in
suited by the Governor and populace,
even in his own house, and it is deemed
necessary by Capt. Ward that an Ameri-
can man of war should be stationed at this
place, for the defence of the dignity and
rights of our country. 1t is said that on
one occasion the Governor went to the
American Consul's house, and after scar
ching it from top to bottom, insulted his
wife in the most aggravated manner, and
they also followed him TO his country seat,
and with a drawn sword, demanded that
he should Immediately leave the country.
Such are the reports here, and Igive them
for what they are worth.

Good NeacS from florida - By
letter from correspondent of the New
Orleans Pieayaaae, at Tampa, we observe
that there is very gratifying prospect OF
an early and satisfactory close ofthe Indl-
an difficulties in Florida. The principal
chiefs acceded 10 the terms of the govern
ment and agreed TO emigrate. The troops
are so disposed of as TO secure their COM
pliance, were they disposed TO resist fur
ther. The speedy relief of Florida from
this troublesome population, and the gov
ernment from source of expense and en-
barrassment, will soon be accomplished.
The Tallahassee Floridian of the 9Th
instant, gives the terms upon which the
Florida Indians have agreed 10 emigrate'
and saws that it is believed that the Indians
will all be out of the country by the last
of Nav. The following are the terms
Each warrior is TO receive (before he goes
on board the boat $500. each woman
800, each child Sl00. Bowlegs himself
will receive about $4,000, and two or
three sub-chiefs about $4,000. They are
to be provided with rations for one year
after their arrival in Arkansas, and to Dc
guaranteed in the possession of their ne.
groes. 1t is estimated that the whole GO"
of the removal will be about 1924 ,0oo.

HThe city is teeming with rumors
about division and dissolution Of the cab
met. 1t is reported that Mr.. Clayton is
going out, in consequence of some negotl-
alton with the British minister, which he
undertook to conduct without due consul
tation with the cabinet. 1t is also said
that one other member retres with him;
and it is further reported that these two
vacancies will be supplied with Messrs.
Evans of Maine, and Corwin of Ohio
Should the latter go in, we take it for
granted that Mr.. Ewing will 60 out, as we
deem it improbable that two members will
come from the same State. But we do
not prelent to vouch for any of these re-
ports.-Udshington onion Feb. 10.

Marriage and Divorce.

10 ne EGiioys Of The Tribune
Before entering upon the main purpose Of this
communication, let me notice briefly your commeuts
upon my last one.
l. Webster you say, defines marriage as an en-
gagemeut b. the parties to live together in mu
t1s affection and fidelity all their days. DO not
quarrel with this definition nor yet with any other.
simply say that when the mutual affec ION Of the
parties ceases. the engagement based upon 1t Is
vacated and consequently all real marriage is nj
an end between them. 30 long as the State makes
the parties covenant 20 live together in mutual
affection, before pronouncing them married, 30
long will it by implication pronounce the marriage
At end whenever this mutual affection ceases.
=. Gbbon you say reports the case Of a Roman
matron who, safer free divorce was established
in Rome. had eight husbands within five years
Free divorce was established IN Rome, my friend,
with the establishment OF Rome itself divorce.
says George Long in Smith Dictionary Of Greek
and Roman Antiquities, or the absolute determl-
nation OF the marriage relation 0lrays existed in
the Roman polity. 50 isr back know anything

consent and coJugal affection Of the parties, ras

continuance, and accordingly either party might
declare his " her Intention % Dissolve the connec
ton No judicial decree, and 10 Interference Of
any public authority was requisite 10 dissolve
marriage. W hat dreadful inlet this freedom OF
divorce must have allowed D. icentiCusness say
YOU. Listen further, Their. T. the same historian.
For, IN spite Of th, perfect freedom, he says that
the first InstaLce Of actual divorce IN Rome occur

500 years after freedom Of divorce was establish.
