Editors, like other individuals, are liable
to be imposed upon by mischievous or un-
p,incipled persons.- We have a -raaA4A y
in proof: The marriage notice which ap-
peared in our paper last week was sent 10
US, through the post-office, with note re-
guessing its publication. This note was
signed with forged signature of the father
of the gentleman who was announced as
having been married. Being unacquainted
with any of the parties, and the communi.
cation coming to US as hundreds Of others
of similar kind had heretofore, we had
not the least suspicion tina. anything was
amss, until the gentleman referred TO, who
feels justly incensed at the wrong done him
called upon us for our authority for publish
ing the notice, and informed US that he
was not married and that the "lady" to
whom it is said he was, is negro We
cannot conceive that any other motive than
base maliguity could have prompted this
outrage upon the feelings of respectable
citizen,

Mr.. WIsE's BALLOON AscENsIoN.-Mr.
Wise made balloon ascension from the
New York Crystal Palace on Friday, and
met with an accident. Mr.. w. has himself
furnished the following account Of it:
"When | go. below the clouds again,
saw Flushing little eastward. The des-
cent now became rapid, and the strong
wind below edmonished me of rough
landing. In another moment my grapple
took effect. The jar broke some of The rig
ging, the gappIe ripped up the sod, and
the balloon bounded several hundred yards.
Mex. The car was dashed forcibly into a raw
inc and boled me out. ! held On TO the out
side. The balas. being also thrown out, gave
the balloon increased power. She rose the
length of the rope, while was hanging fast
to The car. In momen. the grapple again
ripped up the sod, and seeing my predlca-
men, tina, of being hauled up, with moral
certain tina, could not secure myself TO the
car LONG, made the fearful plunge of at
least forty feet, into the salt meadow, knock
ing out one Of my teeth and slightly bruising
my jaw"
The balloon was last seen near Hartford
Conn, on its way, apparently, to Boston.

been decided to be in direct conf1ic. with

Finn, remarks the Cincinnati Commercial,
said that there were many wholesome and
excellent provisions in the new law, that

grand jury from any action, but he sugges-
ted tina, in order to have the question pro-
perIy aud thoroughly tested, that they might
exercise their own judgment, and pass up

bring the question up for argument, and a
final disposition could be made Of ii in this

A MODEL BRIDGE-We have been
shown a very handsome model of a bridge
made Of wood, the result of the ingenuity
of our fellow-townsmsn, Mr.. Vincent Cam
aier. II is 81 inches long including the
abu,menls, and weighs just l2 pounds,
and lis ability to bear heavy weights has
been sufficiently tested. The plan is cal
cua'ed for single span Of 800 feet This
model has been examined by many of our
most intelligent citizens, and invariably pro-
nounced without fault. The principle
which regulates its construction seems suit
ed beyond doub, to answer the end of lis
designer, which is 10 span wide streams by
single arch, and a, the same time to ensure
strength and durability in lis structure. Ex-
perience has long since demonstrated that
over streams subject to heavy and rapid
freshels, the only safe bridge is one on tbs
above proposed plan, which by IFS single
arch system places no obstruction TO the
progress of the water during ireshet.-Ss-

IMPORTANT FROM JAPAN.-The English
papers received by the Arctic contain the
important announcement, under date of
Shanghae, April IL, that Commodore
Perry has succeeded in the object of his
visi. to Jeddo o, and that similar advantages
have been obtained for the commerce of
this country that had previously been con-
coded to Russia. The same condition is
contained in both treaties-namely, three
ports are to be opened in year. The la
test sdvices from Shanghai, under date OF
March 81, stated that Commodore Perry
was hourly expected there on his return
from Jeddo, and it is probable, therefore,
tina. the statement Of the English papers is
correct. Such result will fully vindicate
the Japan expedition from the unmerted
abuse expended upon it, and open to The
commerce Of our country an immense field
for its profitable employment.

IMPRISONMENT OF AN AMERICAN Con-
sUL.-A letter from Turks Island, dated
May 25,h states that John L. Nelson, Esq ,
(son John Nelson, Esq, OF Bal,imore,) U.
S. Consul had been thrown into prison
there under the following circumstances
''Mr. Nelson, against whom a strong per-
sonaI feeling is said to exist am ongst some
Of the authorities in consequence of the
firm and energetic manner in which he de-
tends the interests Of his counlrymen, was
brought before the police court and fined
5000 for an aIledged assault on one Of the
magistrates. The writer states that the
charge was wholly unsus,ained by evil
dence. Not content with this prosecutor
90, him again before the Supreme Court.
by which, without any formal trial, or e.
yen the empaneIIng of jury, he was con-
|demned to pay further fine of G27 lbs.
I'D.
'Mr. Nelson considering the fine an i'm
position, refused to pay il, and has been
accordingly committed to the common Jail,
where it is stated to be his intention TO re-
main until the action of his government
procures his liberation. The affair has, i,
seems caused grea. excitement on the is
land and an asemp, was even medita,ed to
forcibly rescue DIR. Nelson.'
The New Y Cork Herald, from which WE
COPY, SAYS the letter is evidently writer
under feeling of strong excitement. The
opposition to Mr.. N elson is said to have
originated in the fact that both he and MIR
Smith, The late Consul, inlerlerred TO pre-
vent an American captain from being swim
