JENNY LIMBS MARRIAaE.-The Boston Courier o.
Friday, referring to this event, says:
The Queen of Song has committed matrimony.-
Jenny Lind is Jenny Lind no longer, but Mrs. God
schmidt.
Mr. Goldschmdt has attended Jenny as her pianist
for many months past. The match has taken every
body by surprise, though must say that we were
struck with something conoundedly arch and roguisb
in The twinkle OF her eye, when she sang "John n
d rson my joe" the last time she appeared in public
in this CITY, Such however, has been the discretion of
the parties, that it may have been "foregone con-
clusion'' for years. The song of the Niehtin-
gale will, of course, be "Home, sweet home" Nav
she live thousand years, and sing it every day.
Jenny has fitted up a splendid establishment at
Northampt Mass, where she and Otto have gone
to reside. The Nightingale of Sweden" was stated
In the marriage certificate as being hirty.one, and
the ssGodschmldt of Hamburg'' as being twenty
years of age, on the day of the ceremony.

The London Examiner of late date contains
a curious analysis of the recent heavy vote in
fayRr of Louis Napoleon. In this, by the aid of
|thScensus returns, it is shown that the greatest
possible number inscribed as electors capable OF
voting was only 372, 500 beyond the number who
are asserted to have voted. This would indeed
inicate an immense system of fraud. 1t is i'm
possible for moment to believe that less than
100000 of the registered electors refused to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage. Nevertheless, al

THE JAMES RIVER AND KANAWHA
CANAL

The annual general meeting of this Compa-
ny, held i'll November last, referred various pro-
iects for reduction of its tolls, to the President
and Directors, and adjourned to meet on the Sd
instant There has been difficulty in forming
quorum for the dispatch of business. On Fri
day evening a quorum attended, and the Report
of the President and Directors, proposing re-
duction of the tolls on the leading articles OF
Agricultural production, and other articles of
prime necessity, was adopted. The policy which
influenced this decision seems to be, that it will
secure an increase of business and of revenue.
At the general meeting in November, the stock
holders declared preference for the extension
of the water line to the Ohio, and directed the
President and Directors to memorabilia the Lee
gislature, and ask that the Company's improve
ment should be regarded, in any system which
may be adopted for completing the leading i'm
proyements of the State, with view to the pro-
duction of revenue. A proposition has been of
fered at the adjourned meeting to abandon this
ground, and to declare preference, at least an
acquiescenee on the part of the Company in the
establishment of a Railroad connection of the
Eastern improvement with the Western waters
of the State. This subject has not been act
ed on for want Of a quorum. The meeting
adjourned Tuesday night to meet again last
night.
1t is known to the readers of the Times, that
in its columns, this work has been regarded as
one of the most important Improvements of the
State We propose to recur to the subject again
when the stockholders have acted. Whether
we regard its capacity for transporting freight
the amount Of capital invested, cost of construc-
tion or the amount of business already accom-
modated, without disparagemento of other works
OF improvement, we regard the James River anc
kanawha improvement as one of the leading
works of the State.
1t has the capacity to transport annually TWEEN
ty-nine hundred and sixty thousand tons. Tht
State holds three millions of its stock and i
bound for the debt of the company, amountin.
to four millions and half of dollars
1t has transported in the last year one hundred
and eighty thousand tons of produce and mer
chandize, of the aggregate value of nearly four
teen millions of dollars.
This has been done without aid from the sec
ond Division Of near fifty miles, extending from
Lynchburg to Buchanan in the Valley of Vir
ginia. We earnestly desire that those works O
Internal Improvement, in which the State is in
terested a stakeholder, which can be mad,
productive of revenue, may be placed in a con
dition, as speedily as possible, to relieve thu
Treasury from the payment of interest on it
bonds and the people from taxation. We will
be ready to give our support to all such meas
pres. And as there is no subject more deeply
affecting the interests of the State and of the
People, we shall present to our readers, from
time to time, such information as will presen
the subject fairly and fully to the consideration
of the Public.

The DEsPoTIC PREsIDENT.-The Paris cor
respondent of the London News saws that moth
ing is more evident than that Louis Napoleon
stands in bodily fear. His carriage is ball proof
at the Theatre he is coldly reeeived-his re-
ceptions at the Elysee have been abandoned
the chimneys of the palace are covered with an
iron framework, to prevent the descent of bomb
shells or demagogues The terror with which
the atmosphere is charged has insinuated itself
like moral plague, into the imperial presence.
It is remarked that Louis Napoleon, in respect
to age, begins where his uncle left off His age
is forty -four: his uncle was just forty -four when
he abdicated the throne at Fontainbleau, and
thus virtually ended his career of usurpation and
glory. The report that the Northern powers Of
Europe have intimated to Louis Napoleon that
they would insist upon the execution of the
clause OF the treaty of Vienna, interdicting ele-
vation to the throne Of France toany represent
alive of the Emperor Napoleon, is not credited
