During the last year, we have had am
pie evidence of what Lieut.. Governor

he has come among us with his head

every movement which he has tempt

New York. As a Rhode Island man.
VIC have no fancy Tor this meiamorpho-

the voters of this State, after mature re-
fection, will have any sympathy with
these radical movements on the pa't OF

come here solely with the hope Of his

country love-lorn swain with his intend

turned upon love or marriage, the YER

energetic hugs upon his equally afiec-
tioDate dedrU which attracted not only
universal attention, but impeded the
progress of the corps drdmat'que, who,
at times. were unable to continue their
roles from the laughter excited by the
loving manGuvres. Wholly engrossed
with the tender passion, the turtles dis
covered not that general attention was
attracted towards them and commenced
a kising scene. During the progress
OF this very pleasant but too public,
pastime, a wag, seated beside the bride,

universal, upon which the ailcciionate

lhe following letter Is 10 appear from
Henry Clay in the report of the doings
of the Congressional Banquet, given in
honor Of the Birthday Washington
WASHINGTON, Feb 81, 1852.
GENTLEMEN Il have the pleasure TO
acknowledge the receipt Of your invita-
ton to the Congressional Banquet in
honor of the birthday of Washington,
to be served at Wizards Hotel, this
day. Nothing would be more gratifying
TO me than 10 be able to assist on that
distinguished occasion but regret to
say, that the feeble state of my health
will not allow me that satisfaction.
ardentIy hope that the birthday Of
that great man may continue to be cele-
brated whilst time cndures. But there
seems 10 me to be particular fitness Of
giving at the present time extraordinary
eclat TO the commemoration oil the day.
We have seen great principles lald
down by him Tor the administration OF
this Government, especially in regard
TO lis foreign policy, drawn in question,
his wisdom doubted, and serious efforts
made and making TO subvert those
maxms Of policy by the conformity to
which this nation has risen 10 its present
uparaIleIled greatness.
We have seen serious attempts 10 in
duce the United States to depart from
his grea, principles - peace and neu-
tralily, Of avoiding all entangliHg ALLAN
ces with foreign powers, and of conhn-
ing ourselves TO the growth. improve
ment and prosperity, Of our new coun-
try, and, in place OF them, 10 plunge
ourselves, by perilous proceedings and
insensible degrees in the wars OF
Europe. Under such circumstances, it
is right and proper, and useful, to repair
to the great fountain OF Washington's
patriotism, and drinking deep att, to
return refreshed and invigorated by the
draught.
hope, gentlemen, that your propos-
ed celebration will add TO the measure
of our love and gratitude for his memory,
and to our admiration for the purity,
wisdom, and patriotism of his whole
life.

respect your obedient servant,

DoiSG IT. HANDsohE."-A few even
ings since, Gays the Boston Post the
passenger train on the-rairoad ar
rived at small village and stopping
at the depot, loving couple got out and
inquired the "way to the minister's."-
On reaching the house John made
known his errand, which was no other
than to have the rite Of holy wedlock
performed. The reverend gentleman
was just leaving to perform a service Of
another kind, and suggested that the
parties should wait his return. But
John was in hurry, and the minister
thinking he could make a short cGse Of
1t, consented to 'arry but the bride
groom was not quite ready. His trunk
was out on the platform, and said ne,
addressing the minister
"Spose you just help me in with it,"
"On getting it into the house, he ad-
ded-
Just hel p ne up stairs with it;
also done. "And now" said he to
young lady present MS he descended,
"spose you just go up stairs and help
Elizabeth drcss.'
Surely such request could not be
denied. The lady was dressed, and her
toilet duly made; as she was about to
descend, she bethought herself that
Johns wedding rig" was in her trunk,
and she would thank the young lady il
she would "take it into Johns room, and
call him TO get ready"
The rig was accordingly taken irto
an adjoining chamber. and the bride
groom showed "Wherc he might make
ready" This occupied time. But at
length the parties descended, and taxi
ing their stations, the service was about
10 commence. AT this instant John
filed off TO u distant part of the room,
where the young lady was sitting, and
said TO her
Come now, spose you just 60 and
stand up side Of Elizabeth, il will make
her feel better"
The lady acceeded. The two were
soon made Zone flesh" and the clergy
man left. 1t vas expected, OF course,
that the happy couple would take the
latter train and proceed on their way
that night. But all hurry was now over.
The puries seated themselves and
seemed at home. Al length John spy
ing piano, said to the young lady: still
in the room
Come now, sposc you give US tune
on that thing there"
The lady complied; il was sen'-
mental song, and the bridegroom was in
captures.
Never heard such right down good
thing in all my life; and now spose you
go right through it again"
1t was repeated; abou, this time the
car whistle announced the approach Of
the train. They were informed; but
John said he had no thought Of going
from such coniounded good place that
night" They stayed; in the morning
they took the early train, and just as
they were leaving, the generous and
grateful bridegroom slipped s'tuer dol
Tar into the hand of the Clergyman, his
eyes opening and glstening like the ris-
ing sun.
There" said he, stake that, Pm 60

New Yonk, March4.
The steamship America, from Liver
pool, Feb. II, arrived at Halifax last
night, but in consequence Of the lines
being broken shortly after 0 O'Clock, il
was impossible 10 send the news
through.
The America bri gs 80 passengers,
portion OF whom stop at Halliax.
the principal feature of the political
news by this arrival is the resignation
OF the Russell ministry in England.
The resignation was wholly unex-
pected, and had created the most intense
excitement
No new Cabinet had been formed,
and all was conjecture as 10 whom the
Queen would call TO her assistance.
The news from France and the Con-
tinent generally, presents no feature of
exciting interest.
The Cotton market was extremely
active at slight advance. The sales
Of the week were upwards of IA 900
bales.
The value OF breadstufs, has under
gone no material change since the de-
parture Of the steamer Franklin, on the
18th Feb.
The Provision market was steady.
Lard had slightly advanced.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Her news is Of an important charac-
ter so far as England is concerned
otherwise, however it is OF not much
consequence.
The Russell Ministry have been de-
ccated on the local militia bill and had
sent in their resignation.
Lord Palmerston moved that the word
" local" should be taken out Of the bill,
ard that the force should be perambula-
tory not confined 10 England, Ireland
and Scotland merely, but be sent TO any
part Of the Queens dominions where it
might be required.
On this proposal the Ministers joined
issue and were defeated by vote OF
1876 against 1876, upon which Lord John
Russell intmated that having lost The
confidence OF the House, he could no
longer continue TO hold office.
The event was quite unexpected
seeing that on the previous evening the
Ministers had large majority on Lord
IS motion on the want of confidence
arising out of the Clarendon and Birch
affair, the members voting on that oc-
casion being l47 for and ll2 against the
bill.
Various rumors were aaoat at tie
sailing OF the America, as 10 who would
be the successor OF Lord John Russell,
as premier. A coalition between Sir
James Graham and Lord Palmerston
was confidently expected.
The proceedings in Parliament other
wise have been Of slight Importance.
There is nothing Of much interest
from the continent.
