Prince JerOmc's Marriages.
TO THE EDITOR or TuE UEaAIO.


Iperceiye in your paper an extract rom the CORES
pondence OF the Belgian payer LIE Nord, stating
that the special commission appointed by the EN-
peror Napoleon to examine into delicate family
matter, has now decided upon the important ques-
ton OF the validity of Prince Jeromes first marriage
with Miss Patterson, in America; that the result Of
the investigation is the validity Of the marriage aud
the consequence that young sous lieutenant in the
French ARMY, the grandson OF Prince jerome aud
MISS Patterson, Hnst be recognized as Legitimate
member OF the Napoleon dynasty, and that Prince
Napoleon the son OF jerome by his second marriage,
would be excluded.
Now. think the correspondent of lie Nord must
be mistaken Inc marriage contracted between
Prince jerome and Miss Patterson was, and is, void
according to the French laws and cannot have icon.
tary to article POI Of the French civil code) any
civil effect.
AT the time the marriage took place the French
laws relating thereto enacted. trst-rhat 4 son ul
der twenty five years Old and daughter under twea-
tyone could not marry without the consent OF thei
parents; second-tbat such marriage should hav1
been preceded by publication and some other lega
i0lWaliEes.
1t is true that the article 2Ol Of said code says that
"any marriage when has been declared void does.
how ever produce civil effects, far u tue husband,
wife and child,eo are concerned, when such ma
riage has been bona fds contracted" But in tue
present sc Miss Pattersons family cannot take ad-
vantage Of that Article, for her marriage took
place III spite OF the urgent and reiterated opposition
Of M. Pichon, the French Charge d Affairs at
Washington. The Trends If the Patterson family
were inform ed Of The invaidity with which the mar
riage would be regarded by the Fieach civl laws.
II, Notwithstanding, they chose TO have the mar
rage ceremony performed, the consequences must
remain upon them
In Lo case the Prince Napoleon the son of Je-
rome by the second marriage, can be considered a.
lleeitmate, and deprived OF any eventual rigat he
may have t. his imperial cousins sacce -s0n. The
second marriage Of his father took place With all
forms required by law, after the first marriage had
been aDnulled.
Ard further, surprising that the first marriage
with Miss Patterson be d cleared good ana lawful,
could not the children Of the second marriage have
avalleo themselves Of the article 2Ol related above?
If sDy marriage was contracted bona ds, is it mob

An investigation, which took place before onr
magistrates to day, disclosed an amount OF swindling
ara roguery on the part OF shipping masters AMI
captains, IN connection with emigrant vessels,
which goes far TO account for the loss of several
ships laden with freight of human beings. The
plaintiff IN this case was Captain Schomberg, the
senior emigration officer at this port, who summon.
ed Captain Bryar, OF The American ship Isaac Webb

oil emiprant vessels shall b. inspected by the em

crew shipped on board Is sufficient both in number
and capacity for the safe and proper working Of the
vessel In the case under notice, the Isaac Webb
was cleared by Lieutenant Prior the Sc ,ond
emigration ofiicer, on the jth OF July, when
lie adindged that forty-ninc men would be
required for the crew. He inspected that
number OF seamen, and having signed all toe
necessary documents, the Isaac Webb sailed on the
