A GAY SCENE IN ENGLAND.--The able
London correspondent of the st. Louis In
telligencer gives quite graphic picture of
the propagation of Parliament-thus:
"All that England can boast of rank and
beauty is assembled within the gorgeous
House of Lords on this occasion. The Lords
are in their ermine cloaks, the ladies in
feathers and diamonds, the bishops in full
robes. / remember last year how the old
Duke entered, leaning on the arm Of the
beautiful Marchoinese of Wellesley, whose
portrait some of your readers may have
seen, painted by Lanseer, in last years ex-
hibition of art. The Queen enters in fell
state, with consolidated crown of diamonds,
her train carried by four pages of gentle
blood. A peer bearing the crown of state,
another the sword, (he duke,) another the
sceptre, &c., form an interesting procession.
By the side of the Queen walks Prince AL
bert. He takes seat on her left-on the
right of the throne is the seat of the Prince
of Wales. Hitherto he has not attended.
One of the bishops read short prayer
Two counsels, in black robes and wigs, de-
mand the Queens assentto certain bills
The Queen bows each time. The counsels
bow in return, and exclaim in old Norman
French, "La refine le ren."
A rushing noise is then heard on the cor
ridor, like pack of Eaton schoolboys.
1t is the Hon. House of Commons rush
ing up stairs. When this uproar had sub
sided, the Queen, who has been conversing
with Lady Londonderry, rises, and in a
voice as clear as silver bell, the metallic
tones of which penetrate into every corner
of the hall, read the speech of prorogation
amidst dead silence. The procession then
leaves as it came; blast of chivalrous
trumpets "God save the Queen strikes up
by the band of Guans; deafening cheers
outside of loyal population, and the roar
of artillery closes the session. 1t is sight
which every foreigner should endeavor to
see ifpossible, but the tickets are very linn
tied. All the Ambassadors attend in full
costume.

AIR" You'd aoere tcih tsee"
Yes thou art with me Though no longer seeing
Thy form that charmed mine eye with magic spell
Still in my heart dwells thine ETHEREAL being,
Like Oceans chime In its far distant shell.
And though earth no more we meet,
Our spirits oft hold converse sweet.
Thou'rt ever with me--from the dewy morning,
Till evenings shadows fade DER land aud sea,
And twiights pensive hour gives welcome warning
That starry night will bring but dreams OF thee
In ev'ry sceue-through ev'ry hour,
Thou'rt with me still-by Fancy's power.
Art thou not with me? Thought is ever wnging
From soul to soul, swift as the carrier dove,
And to thy bright ideal presence bringing
The thrilling tenderness Of absent love.
Whate'er my mood-with smile or tear
Thy gentle spirit ling'reth near.
Oh thou art with me while sweet Memory's gwen
To wake the voiceless music OF the past,
And Hope is left, to tell flove in Heaven,
Ifo'er mine Earthly future clouds be cast
Our kindred souls shall there be Tree
To dwell in love cternay

Gs= A late German paper has the follow
ing paragraph:
Departure of The Jacs from Russia.--Itis is
well known that several imperial ukases
have Of late been issued in Russia with re-
gard to the Jews, which not only forbid
them to wear the dress peculiar to their ma
ton, but go so far as to forbid their women
to cut their hair in their own fashion, and
make various other restrictions, all which
are intended to compel the Jews in mass
and Immediately to become nationalized
and enter the bosom of the Russian Church.
But many circumstances make it appear
probable that these imperial ordinances will
have an entirely opposite effect to what had
been expected. Many wealthy Rabblnes
have already left Russia because they were
not willing to become citizens of the country,
and because their women refused to cut off
their hair in the required manner. 1t is
also feared that the rich Jewish corn Mer-
chants viii follow this example, as the trade
in corn brandy, both Who'll esale and retail,
is prohibited TO them; and the pecuniary
responsibility laiG upon all Jews in case Of
Infringement of the imperial edict is so Sc
we're, that many others will probably be
driven from the country.

MORTALITY AMONG PERSONS OF INTEM-
pERATE HABlTs.-At meeting Of the Sta
tistical Society of London, June 18th, pa
per was read by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq, from
which we extract some data in regard to the
longevity of persons who are habitually in
temperate. The mortality of this class of
persons is shown to be frightfully high In
6111.5 years of life, to which his observa-
tions extended 357 deaths had taken place;
but if these lives had been subject to the
same rate of mortality as the general popu-
lation of England and Wales, the number
of deaths would have been ITO only, or less
than one-third. At the term of life from
twenty-one to thirty the mortality was up
wards of five times that Of the general COM
munity; and in the succeeding twenty years
It was above four times greater. An intem-
perate person of twenty years of age has an
equal chance of living 1873, one of thirty
years of age 1873, and one Of forty years
11.6 years, while a person of the general
population of the country would have an e.
quail chance of living 44.2, 26.5, and 1913
years, respectively. The influence of the
different kinds of drinks on the duration Of
life was also shown. Beer drinkers avera-
ging oil years, spirit drinkers 167 years.
and those who drank both spirits and beer
unfortunately 1871 years. The average
duration of life after the commencement Of
Incorporate habits, among mechanics and
laboring men was eighteen years; traders
and merchants seventeen professional men
and gentlemen fifteen; and females fourteen
years only.

ROMANCE AND MATRIMoNY.-The Chief
of the Choctaw Indians of Arkansas, DR..
Okah Tubbee, was married at Niagara Falls
lately, to charming young white lady, who
suddenly fell in love with him while travel
ing on steamer, and Victoria-like propos-
ed that they should be married. He first
captivated her by his elegant flute playing,
and then by the music of his words, as he
is an accomplished man and scholar. When
about to part on the steamer, at town, she
declared herself" and the chief quickly
responded upon his knees, saying he had
vision of this happy event. They then
parted to make arrangements for the bridal,
and met next day again at Niagara Falls,
where the ceremony was consummated on
the banks of the river, under the blue arch
of heaven, in the presence Of friends. The
first minister who was called to ofliciate, at
ter looking on awhile, ,shrunk from the task;
but one Of more nerve being procured, he
put the matter through. The bride paid him
with $50 in gold from her purse. Mrs.
Tubbee and her husband retired to Medina,
N. Y, the paper at which place relates this
affair. The chief goes to Europe shortly.
The hesitation Of the minister in this af-
fair looks singular to one who knows moth
ing beyond what appears in the above par
agraph. This "Chostaw Chief was stated
by the Louisville papers some time since to
be no other than malatto barber of that
place! His real name was given, but we
have forgotten it. The mans features-for
we have seen him frequently-are decided
ly of the negro type; and that it doubtless
was which deferred the anti-amalgamation
minister He used to play on the flute at
Welch's Olympic, in Philadelphia; and
then he called himself ChOcchu Tubee.---
