.ceiyed some handsome presents for
the good news, till, on the third visit,
according to Mirabeau; the king, af-
ter giving him gold headed cane,
calledhim back and said, 'Schmet-
tan, troisl c'est ASSET Such anec-
dotes, very currently related, raised
a smile every where else, but serious
scruples in the mind of George III.
Had he, however, been as consistent
in them as in most others, he would
have objected to another alliance of
his family with the House of Bran
denburg. The exiled and divorced
Queen of Prussiais much belid if,
on her marriage with the Duke of
York, she did not observe to the cham
berlain who announced it, that it was
a good match enough for the daugh-
ter of Miller, the musi clan.
five look at the majestic history
OF Lola Monies, the affectionate dis
position of Queen Christina, and 9TH
ers, it will be found that legitimacy
is as illegitimate as usual, An cml.
nent person in France has no resem-
blance to the rest of his family, and
rumor assigns a providential interven
tlonof the Schmettan school as his
paternity.
The unchecked RIGHTEOUSNESS of
privileged families would soon bring
the races to an end, were not pud-
die -blooded men and women called
into the circle.
The puddIe-bloodcd people here
spoken of are those who have no
forefathers-that is in heraldry-but
who, by their forays on noble houses
manage to keep up wholesome cir
culation ofpure vitality.

Colonel Benton.

The St. Louis mteligencer of the lst inst.
in reviewing the proceedings of meeting held
at HIllsborough, Missouri, intimates that the
result of said meeting, in connexion with other
movements, will be that Colonel BENTON will
shortly announce himself as a candidate for
Congress In the st. Louis district; that he will
wage an implacable warfare on the anthem
tonltes; that the antics will either have to sue
cumb and sue for pardon in humble tones, or
they must fight out to the last the war between
Colonel BENTON and themselves; that the pre-
tensions of Colonel VIM. o. BUTLER for the Pre-
sidency are to be urged by Colonel Benton and
those with whom he acts; and that during the
next year there is to be political excitement
in Missouri unparalleled in its intensity and
bitterness. The result, says the Inteligencer,
may be easily foreseen. "The recent feeble and
sickly efforts at reunion of the Democracy
will end in widening, if possible, the breach
between them, The 'high WALL will be
raised higher, and the deep ditch will be
dug yet deeper. The union which has been
attempted, with the hope of comforting office
upon few of the leaders on either side, will
result in their total discontinue; and those
who have been most clamorous for union,
will ere long be fiercest in denouncing it..
10 save themselves from the suspicion of
having abandoned their principles, and to re-
gain their positions with their respective par
ties, they will denounce their opponents with
increased bitterness" This prediction, the
Intelhgenccr thinks, will be verified in less than
three months.
