nothing but her head and one hand occasionalIy


Several men in skiff put out from boat lying
at the wharf, followed her, gave her up as lost
several times, but each time renewed the
chase, and finally picked her up alive, but
insensible, after she had been in the water for
nearly half an hour. Restoratives were speedily
applied, and she was removed TO the house OF
friends, where we understand, she Is gradually re-
covering from the injuries sustained from the ice
and cold The leap was one of the most desper-
ate, and the escape from instant death the most
miraculous, we have ever recorded. Her clothes,
no doubt, kept her head up when she got in the
stream The heroine Of this adventure is young
unmarried ladyawhose name we omit at the soli-
citation of her friends, and who has lived here for
some five years, supporting herself by her work as
a seamstress. Those with whom she has resided
give her an irreproachable character. The COM

The Suspicious against Prince Albert
The suspicion of the English people has been
awakened in regard 10 Prince Albert, and it is not
likely 10 be soon allayed. The London Times and
the sober conservative papers generally, ignore the
whole matter, but the ultra tory and the liberal
journals showing proximity of extremes not
unusual in opposition. freely denounce Prince Al
bert as meddler in the political affairs Of England.
There is no doubt of strong feeling among the
English people, unfavorable TO the popularity ofthe
consort of Queen Victoria. Prince Albert is sus-
pected, in consequence of his Coburg cousinship
and continental alliances, to be warm advocate
Of the Russian interests The matter is likely 10
come up before the British Parliament, as we
learn from the London Daily Neics, which says:
s.Mr. Roebuck, it is currently stated, will, as
soon as Parliament meets, call upon ministers for
a categorical explanation of the unpleasant ru-
mors so widely difused and so generally credited,
respecting the undue interference of the prince
consort in the administrative government Of this
country. Should Mr.. Roebucks health admit OF
his carrying any such resolution into effect, he will
thereby do brave and loyal service to the crown
A month or two ago there was not in the country
a more popular character than Prince Albert; all
men were loud in their spontaneous praises OF
him. How stands the matter now, since sus-
picons have gone abroad that the prudent Austen
ton from meddling with politics, which character
lied his earlier career had ceased 10 be the rule of
his conduct? The more vehement disclam against
him, the more cautious shake their heads, regret
that such unpleasant rumors have gone abroad,
hint at the dangerous consequences that may en-
sue should the rumors be wel-foundcd; but no
man undertakes his defence Jealous ministe-
rialists-courtly- minded men, in whose estimation
to speak evil Of dignities is worse than any of the
seven deadly sins-when questioned, profess TO
regret that his royal hghness Qor want OF due re-
fection, they hope) may have been imprudent IN
the habit Of attending to matters not properly
within his province. More blunt speakers beyond
the ministerial circles are broader in their impu-
tations."
The London Standard closes an article on the
same subject with the following remarks:

What is Lord Aberdeen's present position II
has been sketched by.a master hand. "Should
minister govern in various instances OF domestic
and foreign policy weakly or even wickedy, ana

he would deserve certainly much better quarter,
and would meet with it, too, from every man OF
sense Of and honor, than minister who should
conduct the administration with great ability and
success, and should at the same time procure and
abet or even connive at, such indirect violations
Of the constitution tend TO the destruction OF IT.,
or even Of such evasions tend to render il use-
less-a minister who had the i'll qualities of both
these, and the good ones of neither, who made
his administration hateful IN some respects, ana
despicable in others. who sought that security by
running the constitution which he had forfeited BY
dishonoring the government; who encouraged
the proAigate and seduced the unwary to concur
with him in this design, by affecting TO explode all
public spirit, and to ridicule every form of our
constitution minister would be looked up
