CATHOLIC OPINION or Ma. FILLMORE.
New York Frsendn's journalistic orgaAo f
Bishop Hughes, speak thus Of Mr.. Fillmore
and his reception in Europe:
"Some Of our European contemporaries
do certainly make great fools of themselves
By the discriminating way in which they
lavish their attention on Americans whom
they suppose to be influential. This Mr..
Fillmore was never elected President of the
United States, but only 70 the very inferior
post of Niee-president. 1t was Mr.. Fill
more's Secretary Of State, Daniel Webster, }
who laid himself out to worry and annoy
Mr. Hulsemanu, the Austrian Charge-so
much so that the latter retired from Wash
ington till the end of his administration
We have no objections to Austria paying
court to any American, but we think, never
thelAs, that III this case the Austrian Eagle
is Goose.8

Prentice of the Louisville Journal begins
a splendid poem on the close Of the year
with this review of the seasons:
Gone gone forever like a rushing wave,
Another year has burst upon the shore
OF earthly beng--and its last low tones,
Wandering In broken accents on the air,
Are dying to an echo.
The gay Spring
With its young charms has gone-gone with It's
leaves,
Its atmosphere of roses-its white clouds
Slumbering like seraphs in the air--its birds
Telling their loves in music--and its streams
leapng and shouting from the up-piled rocks
10 make earth echo with the joy OF waves
And Summer, with its dews and showers, has gone
Its ranbows glowing ON the distant cloud,
Like spirits of the storm-ts peaceful lakes
Smiling in their sweet sleep rs If their dreams
Were Of the opening flowers, and budding trees,
And overhanging sky--and its bright mists
Resting upon the mo un tops, crowns
Upon the head of giants. Autumn too,
Has gone with all its deeper gories--gone
With its green hills. like affairs of the world
Lifting their fruit offerings TO their tod
It's cold wind straying mid the forest aisles
To wake their thousand wiid-harps--its serene
And holy sunset g hanging DER the west,
Like banners from the battlements of heayen--
And its still evenings. when the moonlit sea
Was ever throbbng, like tho living heart
OF the great universe. Ayihese are now
but sounds and visions of the pasttheir deep,
" IT'D beauty has departed from the earth,
And they are gathered 10 the embrace of Death,
Their solemn herald to eternity.

MARRIAGE ExTRAoRDINARY.-A marital ar
rangement was effected few days since in
this city, between loving couple under cir
cumstances somewhat adverse. The bride
groom, whose name is Huett, has been for
some time confined in our county prison on
the charge of larceny. The ceremony was
performed by p. II. Babeock, and Mr.. Huett
and Miss Miner were thus united for life in
the sacred bonds Of matrimony. This, truly
is an incident Of romantic character, show
ing the unwayering devotion of woman TO
man, and proving the inefheacy Of grated
bars TO prevent loves entrance. For many
days previous TO the wedlock the now happy
bride would stand for hours, outside Of the
jail, notwithstanding the storm and cold
blasts of early winter, and converse with her
cherished loved one. Truly
"The maid that loves
Goes out to upon a shattered plank,
And puts her trust in miracles tor safety,
On the conclusion Of the marital ceremo-
ny, Huett was conducted by Sheriff Leech to
his prison room, the fair bride choosing to
accompany her liege lord and with him par
take of the same accommodations. Fort

BAnEY.-A correspondent of the Tribune
writing from Nottingham, England. says: 81

father is proprietor Of the Nottingham Mcr-
cltry, and the editorial department rests with
him. He is a thick set sort of man; Of Il
stature below the middle size; complexion
dirk, and in wears about eight land thirty
His physiognomy would be clownsh in ex-
preston. If his eyes did not redeem his other
features. He spoke Of 'Festus,' and Of its
fame in America, Of which he seems very
proud. In England it has only reached its
third edition, while S or 9 have been publish
ed in the United States"
De QCrNeEY.-He is one of she smallest
legged smallest bodied, and most attenuated
efgies Of the HUMAN form divine, that one
could find in a crowded city during days
walk And if one adds to this figure clothes
that are neither fashonably cut nor fastidi-
ously adjusted. he will have tolerably rough
idea Of De Quincy. But then his brow,
that pushes his obtrusiye hat to the back part
Of his head, and his light grey eyes, that do
not seem TO look out, but TO be turned In
ward, sounding the depts Of his imagination,
and searching out the mysteries Of the most
abstruse logic, are something that you would
search n week TO find the mates to, and then
YOU would be disappointed. De Quincy

village, once the residence of Sir Walter
Scott, about seven miles from Edinburg,
Scotland, where mn afectionate daughter
watches over him, and where he is the won
der of the country people for miles around.
SANTA Anna FISANcIERING.--A Washing
ington correspondent Of the New York
Tunes relates the following
A very singular fact in relation to the
Mexican Legation at Washington has been
brought to light here within few days. 1t
seems that when Santa Anna rereived intel
lgence that the Mossila treaty had been rat
fled, and that the seven millions had been
paid to Gen. Alsaonte, and by him deposited
IN bank, he became seriously alarmed lest
bis Minister should prove as big rascal as
himself, and appropriate the money to his
own purposes. J. The temptation, TO his cor
rupt mind, seemed so irresistible that he
forthwith recalled Gen. Almonte, and Gent O
ministers commission by the same mail to
Senior Arrangoiz, then Mexican Consul Gen
eral at New York, who by this means became
the trustee Of the seven millions deposit
Arrangoiz, as you know, ayailed himself Of
this opportunity TO retain u commission Of
one per cent, or SIC, 200. for his services IN
handling (figurativcly) SO large an amount of
specie whereupon Santa Anna turned him
out and reinstated Almonte. Singular to
say, this transaction never became public,
nor was ii known TO the Government of the
United States until quite recently.

An itinerant preacher recently

counties in this State. He was
mounted on an animal whose ap-
pearance betokened very bad keep

had once been a horse. Riding up to

the querest sat, that he walked &.
round him twice before giving the re-
CURED information. He then in.
