Mrs. Miller Again.

The Richmond Enquirer, of the lst inst, has the following, ia reference 10 this lady, who has become famousby the mystery with which her movements have been enyeloped
 On the Mount Vernon steamer, from Norfolk, on Saturday, was the famous Mrs Miller, the heroine of the assumed suicide over the Niagara Falls, some weeks since. She was accompanies by young man from the valley of Virginia Both of them were recognised by persons who had seem them in Winchester. They left the boat at the City Point for Peiersburg This fact, with other circumstan- ces which have reached ear, satisfy that the statement published, of Mir Henry Merritt. of Troy, New York. being her lover was erroneous. The lady, the heroine Cf the most curious romance oi which we ever read, is described to very short with pug nose, and not at all attractive. B II the currents of love are very unsccountdble. The lady is further represented being in very interesting situation.
 We are informed by gentleman that about ten days since Ire travelled towards Baltimore with Ex- Senator Norve now United States District Ator- ney at Detroit, the father of Mrs Miller. who was in black. mourning the supposed decease of his daughter and then in search of information touci ing her previous movements. The whole affair is most extraordinary.

Alabama.

The Montgomery Atlas, commenting upon the resolution before the State Legislature of Alabama, Si,.c,us their Representatives. in Congress to abun don their seats on the Passsge of the proposed anti slavery acts, speaks as foIlows.
 aRut we are aware that there are many men. sveu at the South. who would safer almost any calamity rather than consent to dissolution of the Union These arc mostly what are eaiieJ practical men, who care nothing for principles in the abstract wbo would be very little disturbed If thousand Wjlot proyiso bills should pass Congress provided tbry could not practically injure the South And
 in regard to present action. will be asked by these men if redress cannot be obtained in any other way than by declaring carrying 1t out if necessary -our Hitimgfum Suppose these insulting and high h-handed measures pass the House of Replesen- latiyes can they pass the Senate lfthey pass both Houses, will they he vetoed by the President IT they become law. will the Supreme Coart sanction them At what stage of the progress of such a Drocedure must the South rise up, and solemay pronounce it's great fat--Let the Union be dssolv- ed These questions the Legislature will, we have no doubt, answer in such manner as the honor and best interests ofthe State require Since the above was written, we understand that the committee to who was refet red the ommunication above men, tioaed will recommend that our Senators and Rep resentatives in Congress be requested to return home in the event of the passage of the Wilmos pro vso. We doubt the policy of such step, unless they should be joined by the delegations of all the slave holding States. Whatever he d0ne by the Southern Representatives. should be done by har- ,nonIous concert of the whole. The delegation of one State returning home would cut rather poor 6gure unless accompanied by all the rest

 ''l The guardianship of females under age is terminated by marriage and the husband, before ths act of ls4s. relative 10 the rights of married womea, might call on the guardian to settle his ac count qua pay him the balance; but that act has worked radical change in the condition of married women

BLACKWO0D'S MlGlzlAE
 AND THE BRITISH QUAaT'LY REVIEWS

Owing to the late revolutions aud cou uter-fevo lions among the nations of Earope, which have fol lowed each other In such quick succession. and of which "the end is mol yet the lesdiug periodicals of Great britain hsvs become invested with de- gree of interest hitherto unk known. They occupy middle gronnd between the hasly, disjointed. and necessarily imperfect records of s wspaers, and the elaborate and ponderous eatisrs 10 be furnished by the historian at a future day. Whoever reads tliese periodicals obtains correct and connected account Of nil the important political events of the old world they occur, and learns the various conclusions drawn from them by the leading spirits Of the age. The American Publishers therefore deem i proper to call renewed attention to the works they publish and the very low prices at which they nre offered 10 subscrbers. The following is their list viz
 The London Quarterly Repis,c; 7ae Edinburgh Reriep; The N0rfh BrItish Rersir; The Wesf,aia- ster Rsoien and BlackBood'S EdiabuYgh Md9a=He. ln these periodicals are contained the views. moderately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the three great parties in Englsnd-fory, Whig, and Radical -"B Black wood" and the "London Q1ar- terly' are Tory the Edinburgh Review" N hg; and the ''Westminstcr Review" Liberal. The North British Review owes it's establishment 10 the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland. and is mol ultra in it's views any one s the grand departments of human knowledge IL was originally edited by Dr, Chalmers. and now, since his death, is conducted by his sOn-in-aw, Dr. Hanna, sssocia- ted with Sir David Brewster. It's literary character is Of the very highest order. Tho Westminster, , though reprinted under that lille only, Is published in England under the title of the "FoEegn Guar teriy and Westminster" Il being in fact unlon of the two Reviews formerly published and r-prinied under separate titles It has, therefore. the advan tnge by this combination, of uniting in oue work ihe best features ol both Hs heretofore issued. The above Periodicals are reprinted ia New York, immediately on their arrival by the British steamers, m beautiful clear type, iiur white paper, and ars faithful copies of the originals, Black wood s Magazine being exact fac-simile of ths Edin- burgh edition.
