MARRIED LIFE IN PORTUGAL.--A Portu-
guese paper gives some statistics which could
only be obtained under the spy and secret po-
lice system, and from which it would seem
that the standard of connubial felicity is not
higher in Portugal than in other countries
We do not altogether believe in the entire
deficit Of happy couples. There are said to
be S72G34 married couples, Of which the
present condition is very nearly as follows:
Women who have left their husbands for
their lovers 1862. Husbands who have left
their wives for other women, 2,361. Couples
who have agreed to live separately, 33,12O--
Couples who live in open warfare, under the
same roof 1928 Couples who cordially
hate each other, but dissemble their aver
sion under the appearance of love- l62,32O.
Couples who live in a state of tranquil indif-
ference, 5l0,l32. Couples who are thought
by their acquaintances to be happy, but are
not themselves convinced Of their own felici-
ty, l,lO2 Couples that are happy as COM
pared with those that are confessedIy unhap-
py, l3l. Couples indisputably happy in each
other, 0. Total, S72634.

Athens, Friday, Feb'y 20, 1852

BALTIMORE, Feb. IL.
In the U. S. House of Representatives or
Wednesday, resolutions were presented from
the Legislature of N. Jersey in favor of the
Compromise and Fugitive Slave Law. A dis
cusson ensued on motion to print them, in
the course, of which violent personal language
was interchanged between MessrS. Stanley
and Geddes.
General Cass, in his speech in the Senate
OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS any demonstration
of violence, and maintained the right, justice
and propriety Of the open declaration Of opin-
ion upon the subject of any violation Of the
Law of Nations, in order that the silence Of
America might net be construed into acquies-
cencc.

A remarkable railroad accident occurred on
the indianapolis and Lafayette road recently.
Two hand cars were racing, with several men
on each; the forward car in passing u point
where common road crossed the track, was
thrown off the rails, and the other came up
on it with its full force, killing three men
and injurmg several others.

Notwithstanding can be more unphi-
losophical than to be positive or dogmatical
on any subject; and even if excessive scep-
ticism could be maintained, it would not be
more destructive to all just reasoning and
inquiry. When men are most sure and arro-
CANT they are commonly the most mistaken,
and have thus given reins to passion, without
that proper delberation and suspense which
can alone secure them from the grossest alb
surdities.-Htne.

The new gold dollars and half dollars are
thus described by the Washington cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
"The coin consists of flat ring, on which
there is a superscripton, but no head, as the
place for putting head is cut out. The on
ly objection to this kind of coin is the detri-
ton to which it-seems to me, it must be very
liable On the other hand, the coin may be
carried on a string---a most convenient and
safe way Of carrying money. Half dollar
gold pieces, not yet called for by any law,
have been sent down, and look very pretty.
These half dollar gold pieces, may be car
ried in the same way"

Speakinc of the Forrest tri;

Speaking of the Forrest trial, the Albion
says :--"With the exception of the Forney
letter, there seemed to us to be only one
novelty in the scandalously protracted evi-
exposure of diabolica plot laid for entrap-
ping Mrs. Forrest into house, wherein she
could scarcely enter without loss of reputa-
ton. The meslros of this plot were so cum
ningIy woven, that they could not be un-
ravcIed bit by bit; but of its existence there
seemed TO be no reasonable doubt, and the
jury may well have felt indignant"

~ Gen. Scott has given Immortality to a
''hasty plate of soup" Gen, Cass will leyer

patching of Marcy's brecches wont be for

Young, it is said, will give new word to tie
English language, to-wit Brighamy, instead
of the obsolete word bigamy. Such is the

New PRINTING TYPE.---A company is at
present in course Of formation for the pur-
pose of putting into operation remarkable
patent, which has for its object the mlnutac-
ture of type by process of die sinking in a
metal of harder material than the alloy of lead
and antimony at present employed in casting
type in a mould. This is said to be the most
important improvement which has tai ken place
in the manufacture of type for the last three
hundred years.

The INDIANs.--Old Sam Houston who
knows the Indians well, having lived with
them long time, gives them very good
character, as will be seen by the following ex-
tract. How the puritan fathers of Connee-
tcut and Massachusetts would have stared AT
the Generals eulogy! To them, an Indian
wos little better than devil incanate. They
regarded the "salvages" as wolves in human
shape, and made them such by treating them
as if they were.
In his lecture on the American Indians, re-
Gently delivered at Hartford, Con-, General
Uouston claimed that in the contests of the
Indians with the whites, the latter were al
most always the aggressors and said that the
Indians us body never broke their treaty.
a sinole Indian, or two or three combined,
MIGHT sometimes kill white man for plum
der: but in such cases an appeal to the chief
would secure a surrender of the murderers.---
Tia said that the Government was now eX-
pendinr six-millions of dollars ayeor to pre-
serge peace with the Indians on the frontiers

THE THREE CENT PIECEs.---E. c. Dale,
treasurer of the United States Mint, contra

cent pieces had suspended, or was delay
ed in consequence of a defect in the law Of
Congress on the subject. The mint has al
ready issued over six millions of pieces, and IS
now ready to supply all demands for them in
sums of 800, 500, or $3.50, or their multi

MARRIAGE.--Tacitus says, early marriage
makes us immortal. tits the soul and chief
prop of empires. That man who resolves to
solves to live without man, are enemies to the
community in which they dwell, injurious to
themselves, destructive to the whole world,
apostates from nature, and rebels against
heaven and earth. ...r..'
