FxAGGERATIoN IN LANGUAGE there
be any one mannerism that is universal
among mankind, it is that of coloring too
highly the things we describe. We can
not be content with simple relation OF
truth-we must exaggerate, we must
have little too much red in the brush. .
We never heard of dark night that was
not ''pitch dark" of stout man that
is not as ''strong as horse!!"- miry
road that was not cup to the knee" VIZ
would walk fifty miles on foot" to see
the man who never caricatures the subject
on which he speaks. But where is such
q man to be found? From .'rosy morn
to dewy eve, " in our conversation we are
constantly outraging the truth. If some
what wakeful in the night, 1--WE had
scarcely a wink of Sleep" If our sleeves
get little damp in shower, we are as
wet as .'if dragged through a brook. "
If breeze blow up, while we are in the
''chops of the channel" the waves are
sure to "run mountains high" and if a
man grow rich, we all say that che rolls
in money"

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The intslligencer is graced to-day with
statistical and political letters from Paris
and London, shedding much light on cur
rent English and French public affairs.
The Union exposes the hollowness Of
the cry Of the Abolitionists in favor 6,
the Missouri Compromise, by quoting the
asseverations of John P. Hale, made not
long since, pledging himself to eternal
hostility to it. The same Journal clears
up the mystery relative to the result Of
the New Hampshire election, by quoting
from the Portsmouth (Whig) Journal an
admission that the Patriots footing up
10 Democratic majority in the House-is
certainly correct within member or so.
The Union has also London and Paris
correspondence by the last steamer.

ITALY.-Protestant sojourners in Tus-
cany enjoy the rare privilege of assemb-
ling for divine worship. A correspondent
of the Newark Advertiser, writing from
Florence, says that there are no less than
three Protestants in that city-includ-
ing ministers of the English, Scotch,
Presbyterian and Swiss churches. The
British and Swiss chapels are commodious
buildings and the services we'll attended.
The Scotch minister occupies the pulpit
of the Swiss chapel. Connected with the
churches are Sunday schools and bible
classes for children. The facilities for
educating the young, in Florence, are
surpassed in few cities. There are two
Protestant schools there.

TURKEY.
Betrothal of the sultan's Daughter

u.
The Constantinople correspondence OF
the London Times, writing under date OF
February Is, says: Yesterday the legal
confirmation of the betrothal of the Sui
tan's eldest daughter, (Sultana Fsthma. !
aged IA, to Redschid Pasha's son (Ali
Galib), aged 81, was celebrated at the
Sultan's Palace with much pomp. A
long train of men, bearing on their heads
trays of fruit flowers, brocades, Jewels,
&c, as wedding presents, marched in pro-
cession from Redschid Pasha's house to
the Palace Of the Sultan. This sight was
rather barbarous and queer than pretty
or imposing, but the sight of the pretty
Turkish damsels in gaudy Orientalized
broughams, IN some sort repaid one for a
founder through the filthy streets. By
happy arrangement, the prettier the
face the more transparent is the veil; the
palmer 1T is, the more opaque is the
covering. This is an innovation and an
improvement on Turkish customs, and
some are Of opinion that it might be imi-
lated with advantage in other countries.
On the same day were celebrated the
first betrothals of his maiesty's three re-
naming daughters with the sons of high
dignitaries, as follows: The Sultana Re
filba to Ethem Pasha, son of the ex-Ser-
asker Mehemet Ali Pasha; the Sultana
Gentle to Mahmoud Gelad ed Din Pasha,
son of the Grani Master of the Artillery
Ahmet Fethi Pasha; and the Sultana
Munire to Hbami Pasha, son of Abbas
Pasha, Governor General of Egypt. 1t
must be remembered that these princes
ses are quite children. THERE'S evidently
an attempt to satisfy both the great rival
politicians in this scheme. It is said
that the presents for these different mar
riages will amount to 40, 600, 900 piastres,
and that Redschid Pasha alone has spent
6 900 900 in jewelry, &c. Notwithstand
ing financial difficulties and general pov-
erty, money always seems forthcoming
and now that the Allied Powers seem
resolved to give material assistance, mer-
chants and manufacturers come forward
to provide stores.
The following is the Sultan's imperial
decree, giving away three other daugh.
tiers in marriage:
Iranslat ion of The Haiti Hnn,ayoun, or de-
crce of tic Sultan, announcing tie betrothal
Of has three daughters.
My TRUsrY VIzER-By the grace of God
we have thought it suitable, from this
time, to promise our beloved daughter
Refina Sultane to Ethen Pacha the son
of our ex-Seraskier Mehemet Ali Pacha
Gentle Sultane to Mahmoud Gelal Eddim
Pacho, son of our Grand Master of Artil-
lery, Ahmet Fethi Pacha, and Munire
Sultane to Hhami Pacha. The ceremony
of betrothal and of marriage will take
place later. at the proper time. We have
to-day had brought into our presence
Ethen and biahmoud Pachas, and having
acquainted them with our imperial deci-
sions. we send them to our Sublime Porte,
and we have given orders that Abbas
Pacha be informed Of the promise of
marriage we have just accorded to bis
son, Hhami Pacha. Consequently,
charge you with the publication Of the
present decision. May the Almighty
Lord bless these projects, and accord
their happy realisation.

to meet him at any time or place, and

better of it, and let him pass. Com.
