terday Of the landing of an expedition from
San Francisco at La Paz, in Lower CaIifor-
mia. The following additional particulars

LAMARriNE's MARRIAGE The story of
the marriage of Lamartine is one of roman
tic interest. The lady whose maiden name
was Birch was possessed of considerable
property, and when past the bloom Of youth
She Became passionately enamored of the
poet, from the perusal of his "Medtations;"
for some time she nursed this sentiment in
secret and being ,apprised Of the embarras-
sed state of his affairs, she wrote him, ten
dering him the bulk of her fortune. Touch
ed with this remarkable proof Of her gener-
osity, and sipposing it could only be caus-
ed by preference for himself, he at once
made an offer OF his hand and heart, and was
promptly accepted.

such manifestations of imperfect secretion,

that Prince Albert is prematurely becom-

"WHERE's KossurH!" is a question that
is sometimes impertinently asked. The
New York "Times," that keeps the "run"
ofhim, answers:
"Kossuth, as we learn by priva: advices,
remains in London, confident that the course
Of events mus sooner or later, drag Aus
tria into the conflict. and that the western
powers can then no longer remain indiffer-
ent. The Hungarians will then have an
opportunity to renew the r struggle for in
dependence; and, instead Of being compell-
ed to fight the combined armies of Austria
and Russia, without support, they will have
The active aid of all the rest of Europe. =
Indeed, the entrance of Austria into the
war, would be the signal for general rev.
olulon in all the countries now subject to
her despotic power"
