Tin Weddings.

The editor Of the New York Weekly Observer
has been to 3 "tin wedding" If our readers will
be quiet, in three minutes they shall know what o
''tin wedding is. Now, golden wedding is the
,ommemorstion Of the fftieth return of couple 9
marriage--these are scarce. The "Silver Bri-
dal" is the friendly celebration of the twenty
fifth return of the happy day. These are less sell
lom. A "tn wedding" is novelty, but it should
not be- for whoever reach the fifth anniversary of
heir marriage ar at liberty to celebrate it. The
Courier says on this occasion:
"The bride and groom were presented, by rela-
tyes and friends in turn with various articles of
TN ware, such as are eminently useful in house
hold economy, making together complete set Of
culinary apparatus which would do honor even to
| kings kitchen.
"These separate ceremonies were concluded by
! more formal presentation Of An ornamental SER
vice Of tin,' prepared after the most approved
form and fashion of silver, during which an ad-
lress was delivered and response given, both
performances being marked with as much solemn
ty as the occasion could impart. At the supper,
The table was covered with plates and dishes only
If tin; 4; ham sandwiches were laid out against
tin background; hornely cake was served in bas-
kets Of tin; cider was dipped from tin pail, with
a tin lsdle, into tin curs: and familiar odes were
performed on trumpets Of TN! In fact there
could not have been more tin in any other place,
except in tinman's warehouse or in the mi es OF
England.
ave were never before 50 thoroughly conyip-
ced Of the numerous useful appliances to which i.
may be put, and Of the highly respectable appear
ance which it presents when handsomely secured
and we shall henceforh regard it, especially when
associated with Tin Wedding as one of the
precious metals"

The Interesting Condition Of the Empres IS
Eugene.

An occasional correspondent of the London Glob.
writes from Psris, dating Wednesday, 9Th in.
nt:-From this day the Empress will not leave
her suit Of apartments. All the requisite arrange.
ments are made, and the medical men at their
posts Paris is expecting ut any moment to hear
the salute of cannon. They have just printed two
programmes of the ceremonies to be observed, one
for the birth, and the other for the baptism of any
Imperial Prince or Princess. The rite of baptism
will be performed on the day after the birth, in
the imperial chapel, by the Grand Almoner of the
Court, in presence Of the curats Of St. Germain
PAuxerrois, the parish of the Tuileries; Of the
'archbishops of the Metropolitan Chapter, Of the
grand dgntaries Of the empire. Should it be a
prince, the Grand Chancellor Of the Legion Of
Honor will bring to him the grand Gordon Of the
Order and the Military medal the Grand Marshal
Of the Palace will take him in his arms and carry
him back to his apartments. 1t is seriously in
contemplation to give him the title OF King Of
Algeria"
1t appears it is certsin that the Pope will be the
godfathe. of the infant Prince Tor Princess) of the
Emperor. His Holiness will probably be repre-
sented by an extraordinary envoy, unless he comes
himself to Paris. The god-mother of the Imperial
infant will be the Queen of Sweden. Her Majesty
is cousin of the Emperor, she being the daughter
Of Prince Eugene, Duke Of Leushtenberg, whose

Foreign Ministers in Washington.

A very clever correspondent of the Louisville
Courier, writing from Washington, says of the
foreign minister's
Yonder, with four dapple, bob-tailed greys, Is
the turnout Of Mr.. Almonte, the Mexican Minis
ter. He drives at faster gate and lives at hig-
er rate than any Of the foreign ministers. Soon
we see dashing brace Of bays; with light un.
covered wagon. In front, holding the reins is ev.
identity the proprietor of the establishment, while
behind him sits the footman. That is Mr. Cramp-
ton, the British Minister, about whose recall we
have heard so much through the newspapers. He
lives in the adjoining city Of Georgetown, in no
particular style, drives his own team, and SUBJ
serves the interests Of Her Majesty Victoria Ri
ginia) in manner worthy of the crouning diplo-
mat, which he is, and nothing more. To continue
about foreign ministers, find that they are below
par very considerably. Not that they have n,
grace and manners and reputation and talents and
all that sort of thing; but they lack the cash. and
hat is indispensable to currency in Washington
society.
NJ. De Sartiges, the French Minister, has actu.
ally been banished from this city BY the force Of
fashionable will. And why? It chanced that in
his odd, fancful way. he recently called at par.
ty given ut Senator Baysrd's (of Delaware) resi-.
dence, and entered the parlor smoking cigar
He was demonstrated with concerning the impro-
priety, and responded that 1t was but an American
prejudice against his conduct. The Senator gave
him notice to quit, and public sentiment uniting
against him, be has since absented himself froR
the city, save when he has had business with the
State department Baron Stnckle, the Russian
Minister, likewise lives in New York. The mem
bers Of the other foreign powers are but inferior
ersonages-chie8y distinguishable by their long
coats, long hair, long boards and long faces
They hurry about with ungainly strides, and un-
christian gestures, speaking in foreign tongues,
and evidently, though among us, not Of US.

Correspondence of the Charleston Standard.
WASHINGTON, March 19, 1856.
The debate in the Senate yesterday drew to-
gether an immense crowd of spectators, and the
ladies' galleries were filled with the beauty and
the chivalry Of the land. The Naval Retiring
Board was the subject Of comment, and Gen.
Houston, whose forte is declamative and philippe,
skinned the "immortal fifteen" most scientifically
His speech abounded with anecdote and rich incl
dent, which amused, interested and delighted the
auditory-but the members of the Board, if any
were present, could gay as the frogs in the fable
did to the boys-''it's fun for You, but death to
u.s." It was mentioned by Gen. H. as reliable
fact-given on The authority of Commodore Skin
ner, tbAtfour members of the Board were in caucus
some weeks before the Board were convened, and
there "dotted" thnty.fvs officers on the Captains
list. The Board, it seems, only carried out the
previous determination of the individuals members
formed for their personal advancement. This is
new chapter in the history Of this Efficiency
Board.
To-day Judge Douglas replies to his colleague,
Senator Trumbull, and hazard nothing in saying
that the little giant will administer castigation
to free-soil Know-Nothingism, which will be felt
throughout the Union.
The report from the Territorial Committee is
from the pen Of Judge Douglas, and as it is ad-
mitted to be the sblest document which has ema-
dated from the Legislative Department of the
Government, so will it tell with powerful effect
upon the Cincinnati Convention. The chance of
Judge Douglas for the Democratic nomination is
fast rising above all others in spite of the able and
patriotic message of the present excellent Chief
! Magistrate.
pei from the House Of Representatives, the new
Door Keeper, Captain Darling, of New York. In
justice to truth and to faithful officer, take
pleasure in assuring my readers that the report is
without foundation, and originated with disap.
pointed applicant for an appointment under Capt
Darling. Had the Door Keeper complied with his
demand for the place. not for himself but for ano.
ther, then Capt Darling would have been a dar.
ling of an officer. The Captain laughs at such at.
| tacks.
The discussion on the Kansas contested election
case closes to-day at one o'clock, and now pre-.
dicta decided defeat of the Committee in their
proposition to send for persons and papers. 1t il
barely possible that commission may be sent to
Kansas to take testimony. Ilearn that the Com
mittee on Elections have extended to the gentle.
man contesting the seat of Mr.. Allen, Of Illinois
the time for taking testimony in his behalf, and
this too in direct violation of the present exist
ing law upon the subject. This was new dodge
and designed to test the power Of the Committee
and the House in taking testimony in cases of con
tested elections. The action of the Committee ha.
been called for by resolution.

9Th inst. that the Empress had actually been de-
livered, but while the report was circulating at the
Bourse and elsewhere, her Majesty waa driving
with the Emperor in the Champs Elysees, where
they were seen ut three o'clock.
The Paris .Noniteu7 Of the 18th inst. contains
the official announcement of the appointment Of
tho widow of Admiral Bruat to the post of "Gouv-
ernante des enfsns de France" It is, perhaps,
necessary to explain that By this expression it is
intended to refer to the prospective progeny of the
Emperor Napoleon III. and the Empress Eugenie.

Tenn.
On beautiful lot in the vicinity Of the Capitol

The mortal remains
JAMES KNOX POLK
are resting in the vault beneath.
He was born in Mecklenburg county,
North Carolina,
and emigrated, with his father,
Samuel Polk, to Tennessee,
in 1906.
The beauty Of virtue
was illustrated in his life
The excellence of Christianity
was e1emplifed in his death.
On the I'd side
His life was devoted to
the public service. He was
elevated successfully to the first
places in the State and Federal
Governments member Of the
General Assembly;
A member of Congress and
Chairman Of the most important
Congressional Committees;
Speaker Of the House of
