NEW MEXICO.

As the question of boundary between
the United States and Texas is now tie
subject Of discussion, it is important to
see to whom the territory Of New Mex
leo belonged, as regarded by the admin
istration of Mr.. Polk. Thos9 democrats
who endorsed by resolution all Mr.. Folks
acts while President, will find no difficult
ty in eating their resolutions, in case it
appears they regarded New Mexico as
territory of the United States; a fact
which many now without Information
deny. Mr.. Polk not only treated New
Mexico as belonging the Union, but
usurped the power Of authorizing Genn
Aearney to appoint all the civil officers
Tor the same, as will be seen from the
annexed

The NEw CABfNET.-The construction Of the
new cabinet satisfies all but u~ltraists. 1t il
Thoroughly Wing, of course; that was to be ex-
Pected. But it is not on this ground that tho
satisfaction rests. In the present crisis Of the
country, many strong Wings care much less
about this than the far more important fact
that the Cabinet has been so constructed as TO
promote harmony and good will between the
different sections Of the Union. No extreme
men on either side are included in. the list
The northern men are free from Ultraism, and
the Southern men likewise; and four out Of the
seven members composing the Cabinet are
from slaveholding States. The design of the
Executive evidently was, to surrounded himself
with men Of peaceful ~views,by whose aid he may
be enabled to steer the ship OF State safely
between Scylla and Charybdis. Mr.. Webster
is himself a host, and his position in reference
to the whole country is most admirable. He
was never before in a condition to exert SO
much power and influence, We have no doubt
that it will be exerted wisely and well.

THE ESPOUsAL.

The celebration Of the marriage, ceremony
is m Of joy and happiness-then, if at no
other time, pleasure seems unallOyed, and
grief and sorrow are banished from the bos-
ON and yet, amid all the apparent enjoy
ment of the occasion, what a solemn and inn
portant event is to take place / care not
respecting the circumstances that may be
thrown around it ; nor does it matter wheth.
er the rite be performed in friendlike sim
plicity, or by every ceremony calculated to
impress the senses, yet the importance of
remains-the awful responsibility continues
It may have been brought about by selfish
and interested mOtives-it may be the result
Of parental authority-or it may, as it ought
always to be, the result Of pure love anG
strong attachment-yet, in either case, it il
alike binding for life, and will be the Gauss
of happiness or misery not only through tint
but in eternity.
How much then depends on this step, ant
what feelings press upon the mindl Tn
home of childhood-the family eirele-th
loving mother-the kind father-the afec
tomato brother and sister, are all to be LEI
and another is to be your bosom companies
another to be the sharer of your joys an
sorrows, your griefs and cares. New scene
new duties-new trials, and new cireun
stances, will surround you, and you are nol
to act and live for others.
~Insincerity at the bridal altar is a Grim
of the blacklist character, and he who woul
be false there, would be false any where an
; she who would be untrue at such a tim
would be untrue on every occasion. BIZ
where all is sincerity, confidence, and love-
, happiness is then present indeed, and wi
, continue through life. Changes cannot alt,
their affection for each other. Affection
only bind them the closer. Cares and an,
ieties only afford opportunities for the exc

them by nearer and dearer ties.

CHANCES OF

The table to which we are about to draw
attention is extracted from the report of
the select committee Of the House Of Com
mons OF the laws respecting friendly soeie-
ties. It was drawn up by DR.. Granville,
a physician and accoucher Ofvery extensive
practice, connected with several institutions
in the metropolis. The Doctor put ques-
tons to the females, who from time to time
come under his care, to ascertain the earliest
age at which women Of the poor classes mar.
ry. He submitted to the company the reg
istered ages of 875 women. The following
table, derived from the answer to the age a
which they respectfully married, is the frs
ever constructed to exhibit to females thei
chances of marriage at various ages. o

The WIFE.-How sweet 10 the soul
Of man, says Hierocles, is the society of
a beloved wife: when wearied and bro
ken down with the labors of the day, her
e~ndearments TO soothe, her tender care
to restore him. The solicitude, the anx-
~ieties, and the heaviest misfortunes OF
life are hardly tobe borne by him who has
the weight OF business and domestic care
at the same time to contend with. Blu!
how much lighter do they seem. when
his necessary avocations are over, and
he returns to his home, and finds there
a partner Of his griefs and troubles, who
takes for his sake, her share of domes
tic labor upon her, and soothes the an.
guish of his anticipations. A wife Il
not, as she is falsely represented ans
esteemed by some, burthen, or a sof
row to man.. No, she shares his burtll
en-, and alleviates his sorrows, for Their
is no difficulty so heavy or SO unsupPor

by mutual labors, and the afFectionatt
concord OF that holy partnership.

Essex Railroad, N. j., on Tuesday of last

additional Eve cents fare on passengers who
would not procure tickets before entering

when they we're called upon to pay, they
turned the officers out of the cars. Ever
the engineer was sent adrift, and a new en-
gineer hired to bring the train to its destina
ton.
