Al lsclDESr AT rue Navy DLrARrMEsr.-
A letter from Washington, in the Petersburg
Democrat, says the following incident occurred
a, the Navy Department on the 4th inst
"A young and accomplished lady went to see
the Secretary relative to some suspicious which
hung over the legality of the ceremony OF her
recent marriage with lieutenant in the naval
service. She states that some months since
she was conducted to house in this city, aud
there married to her supposed husband by a
person os,eusibly an Episcopal Clergyman, that
rings were exchanged, and for short time they
lived together, when he was suddenly called off
10 The Pacific. Doubts have been raised as TO
the legality of the marriage, and she enter'ains
a dark suspicion that there has been an imposi-
ton praeticed upon her. lmn.e4iately on hear
ing the lady, narrative, Secretary Dobbn, with
that energy and uprishtness of character for
which he is Justly distinguished, perempto,ily
ordered the lieutenant 10 report, in person, to
him, at early period as possible declarirg,
with emphass, tina, If it did turn out In be true
that he had practiced fraud upon the poor girl
his name should be siricken al once !ron the roll
of the navy.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CUSHlNG's
OPINIONS.

Attorney General Gushing has furnished to
the Secretary of the Interior two opinions on
legal questions growing out Of the statutes in
regard to Virginia military bounty warrants
He gives it as his opinion, that the act of Con-
gress passed, August 3lst, 1852, providing thai,
all persons holding valid Land Warrants from
the State of Virginia, for services rendered in
the war of the revolution, may be surrendered
to the Secretary Of the Interior and receive in
lieu thereof similar amount of Land Script
from the United States, extends as well 10 those
who fell III battle and those who became "super-
numerary" during the war, as to those who were
engaged in active service during the entire war
He claims as the only legal alternative, that the
act of Congress tf 1859 must conform to the
clearly defind statutes of the State of Virginia
that those statutes make no distinction between
those who performed active service during the
war ard those who were "supernumerary" or
fell in battle; and that therefore all should be
placed upon the same footing by the Secretary
of the Interior.
We would like TO publish these opinions as
well for the legal ability displayed, as for the
Importance of the questions settled, but our
space will not admit of it.

The decline in the French funds, on receipt
OF Palmerston's return to the Ministry, is a
most signihcan, Interpretation of the movement.
1t is construed at the Bourse as ioreshadou inp
the call of the Continent to arms, There is no
difficulty with Louis NapoIeon--none with re-
gard to the universal wishes Of the French army
and the people France is ready, and is only
waiting the tardy movements of her ally across

with the popular sentiment of England, France,

Nor arethe SYMPTOMS in Austria of an inclna-

Nor is the dubious attitude of Prussia satisfac
tory. In fact, the prospect Of war by Eng
land and France against Russia must inevitably
at all hazards, unite Austria with the cause OF
the Czar-otherwise Austria is immediately de-
stroyec. As it is, her position is vastly more
critical than that of Turkey. From the revo-
lutionary elements within the diversified Aus
TRAN domains, she will, perhaps, in any alliance
only escape destruction in, a general contest
from the saving Intervention Of England ant
France in the final treaty of peace.
The lates news from London, of the de press

confirm the French interpretations of the recall
of Palmerston. In word, from the courage O
the Sultan, the wrath Of Nicholas the warlikt
consistency of France, and the pressure of pub
lie opinion, the British Cabinet are buckling ur

the news by the Baltic. The Camb ia ant
