SINGULAR FAcr.-It is q very remarkable
fact, in the history of the United States,
that none of the great names among the
American elected Presidents had children.
No one who was ever reelected has had a
son. Washington had no children; be held
Office eight years. John Adams had child
rem; he was not reelected. Jefferson had
no children; he was reelected, and held
office eight years. Madison had no child
rem; held the Presidency eight years. Mon
roe had no son; held Office eight years.
John Quincy Adams had sons; he was not
reelected. Jackson had no children: he
was reelected. Van Buren, had children ::
not reelected. Harrison died. Polk had
no children. Taylor died. And now, among
the great names without children is the next
elected President after Taylor, President
Pierce, who by accident is childless.

questiom-May a gentleman wear a frock
coat at an evening party? seems to have been
decided in the affirmative; and, according
ly, young gentlemen take particular pleas
ure in wearing that long obnoxious garment
with the additional innovation of black
neckerchiefs. White waistcoats are general
ly discarded, and white kids yield prece-
dence to gloves of color.

tation of Jabez was such that IL did not
commend itself very favorably to the old
mans mind, and he had discouraged &C
ouaintance with him. From the time of her
return, however, had Jabez Bee looked upon
the fair Susan admiringly, but at distance
He gazed upon her with respectful feeling
that had no affinity with the lighter and
laughing affection he felt for the village girls
of his acquaintance. He felt that she was
q superior being to the whole of them, and
his soul bowed with reverence at her shrine
hoping nothing and asking nothing but to
lay its silent Offering at her feet, as the sim
pie votary brings garlands in the still of the
morning to hang upon the shrine of some
ravorite saint. 1t was beautiful feeling,
Ind as pure as beautiful The love at first
almost unconscious, became at length the
absorbing feeling of his life. Unmarked his
conduct and conversation, and the uncon-
,ssed passion he felt moulded the impetu-
GUS and wild boy into dreamer and vision
airy. He pored over books, and the woods
md glens and water brooks were familiar
with his footsteps. He acted in short, dear
reader, as you, and I, and almost all others
have done, or might have done, under like
circumstances, made himself very ridiculous,
and the Freeman's Star literally groaned
with the efforts of his awakened muse. and
well it might groan, as everybody did that
read what he wrote. The poetry was more
truthful that lovely, and in its quantity, like
the Irishman's dance, compensated for its
uality. The change in his conduct was
marked. Business was more closely attended
to, and the tavern frequented less. He be-
came perfect marvel to his friends who
wondered what had come over him, and as
the spiritual knockings had just come along,
some, in levity, gave it as their opinion that
he had had an interview with the ghost of
his grandmother, that had rebuked his
5racelessness. But though he was less live
ly than formerly, he was none the less kind
to all, and everybody loved him as well or
better than ever

M We learn from the Indianapolis
Journal that bill is before the Senate of
Indiana instructing the State officers not to
receive any new applications for Banks under
the general lar of last acinter. The reason
given for this bill is, that Wall street opera

for Banks in many of the counties for the
purpose of using the notes in New York,
instead of carrying on a legitimate banking
business in Indiana.

Mrs. NIOyvatt's Benefit.

This evening at the National Theatre is
the benefit and the last appearance of Mrs.
Mowatt. This distinguished actress (says
this mornings Republic,) has played here a
successful engagement in round of char
acters in which she has "won golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people," 1t is no bad
sign of her merits that she is as popular
with the pit as the boxes, and fills both with
an admiring audience. She plays tonight
in her own drama of Armand, play which
has been performed many successive nights
with great applause both in this country
and in England. 1t is but seldom that we
see character in a play well personated
by its author. Fanny Kemble wrote two or
three plays, but we do not remember that
she distinguished herself in any one of them.
Knowles played Master Walter in his Hunch-
back, though with very Indifferent success.
1t really seemed as if he did not we'll con-
ceive the part. Mrs. Mowatt has been
equally successful in her plays and in the
performance of them.
1t is not conceding too much to Mrs.
Mowatt, in view of all her stage accomplish
ments, to place her at the head of her pro-
fession. There is no actress now on our
boards who rivals her in beauty of elocu-
ton, in entire fidelity to her text, in ease
of action, and in the general grace and at
tractiveness of her presentations. When we
add to this that her private life and charac-
blend all the elements of interest which dis
tinguishes her as an artist, we trust that
her fair countrywomen will lend their all-po-
tent influence to give Mrs. Mowatt such a
reception this evening as she deserves to
meet in the metropolis of the Union.

SINGULAR CASE OF BIGAMY.-On Saturday
young woman, named Lacey, plead guilty,
n Philadelphia, to charge of bigamy.
According to the evidence, the defendant
was first married about seven years ago.
After living about three weeks with her
husband, he shot her and seriously wounded
her. They were living in New Jersey. The
husband escaped into Delaware, but was
apprehended, tried, convicted, and sentenced
20 four years imprisonment, which he
served out. Last spring the defendant again
married. She was advised to do so by her
friends, who told her what they believed to
be the law: that the conviction of the hus-
band was divorce in itself. From the evil
ience, it appeared that the woman believed
this to be the case, and, acting under an
erroneous impression of the law, married a
second husband. Sentence was suspended,
and she will not probably be punished Sc
verely, if at all.

fWASHINGTON:
FRIDAY, JANUARY %, 1853.
RECIPROCITY WITH BRITISH AMERICA

The question presented from the colonies
of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, &C., differs
from that of Canada in some fundamental
particularly These coloniespossess fine har-
bors, abundant tonnage, and facility for
intercourse with the world; their agricul-
ture is not sufficient for their own support :;
wheat, corn, and provisions they require
from their more Southern neighbors, as
we'll as the tropical productions. To ex-
change for these things they have fish in
great variety, little coal and cord wood,
also pine and hemlock lumber. Their ne
cessities demand that they should find some
convenient market, where they can sell
their articles, and buy in return those
which they require. The great cities on
the sea coast of the United States offer
them these facilities; they ask only that
the duties should be so modified that they
can trade here as to free port. Now they
sell their ships in England to purchase
manufactures and iron castings; their fish
in the West Indies for tropical productions;
their lumber goes from their own ports to
the markets of the world All their trade,
except their sale of ships, could be more
economically conducted through Baltimore,
Boston, and New ork, were the restrictions
of the tariff taken off, than in any other
way. They require naval stores, yellow
pine, oak, corn, and all other provisions of
the United States.
If we remove from them the duties on
what they have to sell, they will reciprocate
as to what we have to sell. Thus our ports
would gain in commerce, our agricultural
producers in markets, aud we should be-
come the great depots of export for the
whole productions of this continent.
The present reciprocity question, which
occupies the attention of the Committee on
Commerce, combines these two points, with
which should be properly included that Of
free fishery being granted to us within
the three miles, by each colony coming into
the arrangement. Looking calmly at these
points, we can see nothing in their opera
ton on the interests Of this country that
can conflict with the prosperity of any of
the great pursuits of our people.
The present superiority of the United
States over all other countries of this con-
tinent, is due to her industry, her civiliza-
ton, and her free institutions. Any removal
of commercial restrictions that enable us to
circulate more freely upon the continent
the products of our labor, increases the
influence of our civilization and our institu-
tons over our neighbors; and on a COM
mercial union can the peace and happiness
of nations be as surely founded as upon the
intricate web of political connexion. W.

MARRIAGE IN MASSACHUSETTS. 1t ap-
pears from the recent report on the subject
of marriages made to the Legislature of
Massachusetts,, that 1866 parties were
united in holy wedlock in that State last
year. The Oldest persons married during
the year was man of n to a woman under
thirty. Eight females of fourteen and
about forty of fifteen have become wives.
The youngest couple were each sixteen
years old. In Boston, one male of nineteen
married female of twenty eight; and in
Worcester, a lad Of seventeen married a
woman of thirty-eight. One man of thrifty
eight married for the fifth time, and as high
as the sixth marriage is found on the re-
cord. In Boston, a negro Of fifty-eight was
married for the sixth time-his sixth wife
being negress Of ffty-fve, and this was
her third marriage.

it does not fully dovetail with the fact that
