ExrRAvAGAScE OF DREss-Irs EFFECT UPON
THE MAskErs.-In the city of Belgium extrav-

that the ladies themselves have been obliged to
combine for the purpose of arresting its disas-

had been for some years course of constraint
in families; and it was noticed no marriages
were contracted, since the young men, fright

preferred to live in eelibacy. The mothers
recognizing the inconvenience Of state Of
affairs encouraged by themselves, have resolved
to bring about salutary reform, and with this
view they have formed committee which

war with extravagance and every member an

Us Kissing is an accomplishment that should

after all, perhaps they are the spicest-steal your
arm around her waist, take her hand softly in
your own, and then tenderly drawing her toward
you, kiss her as you might imagine zephyr to
do i'll We never exactly timed the accomplish

London Times ON Buchanan,
The London Times Of Nov. LIST, says of James


Mr.. Buchanan has been the most ductile and
flexible Of politicians. He has been Federal
list and is now Democrat, q pro-Free Trade and
anti.Free Trade, and pro and anti almost every
thing else about which parties in America have
disputed He is not man Of great resolution
or violent counsels, but he possesses peculiar
facility for effacing himself and yielding implic-
lily to the influence of those who surround him,
often persons of inferior judgment to his own.
He is Thoroughbred demagogue and unscru-
lous partizan, and, though unexceptionable in
private life, has grown gray among all manner
of intrigues and man9uvres. In this country,
we have not forgotten how adroitly he kept
alive the quarrel with England, which Lord
Clarendon strove so earnestly to terminate, not
from any wish to Involve the two countries in
war, but because he saw, or fancied he saw, from
the continuance Of the dispute, an eiectioneer.
ing advantage to himself.
We may anticipate. also, that his accession to
power as the representative of the South will
raisosuch domestic commotion as will fully
occupy his time and attention, without leaving
him time to disturb the peace of his neighbors.
This might we'll be, if Mr. Buchanan could rule
alone. But he will be as much and probably
more than ordinary Presidents a creature of his
Cabinet, and he will be surrounded BY men who
have the head to conceive and the hand to ex-
ecute any scheme that they believe beneficial to
the party interests of the South. To such per-
sons as are the advisers of Mr. Pierce and will
be the advisers OF Mr.. Buchanan, foreign war is
UNNECESSARILY preferable to domestic defeat, and
the acquisition of new Slave State, TO oppose
to the next free territory from the North West
that may demand admission into the Union as
cheap at any expenditure of blood and treasure.

giants arrived at Salt Lake, having performed
the entire distance, from the borders of civil.
lied life, 1900 miles on foot, and dragging their

the train young and old of both sexes. A Utah
paper has the following in regard to the trip:
This journey has been performed with less
than the average amount of mortality usually
attending ox-trains; and all, though somewha,
fatigued, stepped out with alacrity to the last
and appeared buoyant and cheerful. They had

motion of the oxen attached to the few wagons
containing the tents and groceries.

American Royal Nail Steamship Company, (Cu-

screw steamships upon the route between Liver

Telegraphic Communication with
EuFODes

On Monday the lightning was put in play tor
business purposes, on the new line between New
York and St. Johns, New Foundland. The dis.
lance by the telegraphic wires is l,7l5 miles,
So miles being submarine cable, across the Gulf
of ST. Lawrence. This | ne is only one end of
the communication soon to be attempted direct
with Europe.
A Company hae been formed in London, I'M
der the auspices of G. w. Field, of New York,
and Sir John W. Brett, distinguished English
Engineer, to extend the line from New Found
land across the Atlantic to Galway, Ireland, a
distance of about 1900 miles. The stock for
the enterprise has been readily taken in Europe
md this country, SO much faith is felt in the
feasibility of laying the cable and proftably
working the line.
The Atlantic has been sounded across on the
proposed route, and contracts looking to the
certain completion of the line next summer are
being negotiated with the London Submarine
Telegraph Manufacturing Companies. 1t was
expected that the manufacture of the Trans
Atlantic cable would be commenced the pre-
sent month, and be successfully submerged be-
tween New Foundland and Ireland by the first
Of August 1857.
1t isstated that the cable will have to be of
the enormous length of three thousand miles,
in order to allow for the inequalities in the bed
of the Atlantic. The practicability of obtain
ing perfect signals through magnetic circuit of
three thousand miles has been tested. To lay
down the cable, it is proposed to start vessels
in the middle of the Atlantic, each carrying half
the line, and uncoiling it, one towards America,
and the other towards Europe 1t will be diff
6cut and risky undertaking. Two submarine
cables have been lost in the Mediterranean
while they were being laid down.
The success of this great enterprise will work
marvellous change in the transmission Of
news. Atlantic steamers will be slow boats
in running races with the electric flashes. The
Inference Of about four hours and three-quar,
ters between London and New York time will
work queer results. For instance, the stock
exchange in London will have closed, and tn G

yonng and beautiful wife, and an innocent babe
about six months Of age.
On his arrival in California, tho young man
wss engaged - = consignee Of San FrssciscO
house 1t Sacramento, at very liberal salary.
He prospered we'll, aud tho investment Of small
sum which he had taken with him to the Golden
State, yielded large and most remunerative per
csntage. The hopes which had led him 70 part
from home and family, were more than realized.
He wrote homo often TO his wife. His letters
were couchcd in the kindest tone, and invariably
enclosed liberal remittances. His last epistle
was indicted at San Francisco, in July last, and
in it he informed his wife that he should soon
return to his native place for = brief visit, and
requested her to make her preparations for arc-
moval to California.
In fulfllmcnt ofhis promise, the husband came
home on a steamer, which reached New York on
Friday last. He landed at New York in the af-
ternoon. Impatient Of the hours which kept him
from the arms Of his wife, he left his baggage In
New York, and with nothing save his Taiise in
hand took passage on the afternoon train on the
Hudson River road which reached here at night.
| he hurried to his home. The door was locked,
| and the windows dark.-He knocked again and
| again, but there was no response. At last pre-
suming that his wife might be on visit to the
home OF his mother in West Troy, he FASTENED
over there. His parents met him more in sor.
row than in joy. His first inquiry was for his
| wife For a time he received no answer, but at
length they informed him that his wife had prov

that she had engaged in an Illicit amour with a
| young man employed as a clerk in dry goods
house in Albany; that her guilt having become
| evident and notorious, they-hs parents--had
| forbidden her crossing their Threshold; but q
day or two previous to his arrival. she had gone
off in the cars for the West with the young man.
For time, the husband refused to credit the
fearful tale, but inquiry persuaded him it was
too true. His wife had evidently encouraged the
advances of the adulterer, and favored him in
his suit. The means which he had sent her
from California she had wasted upon him, and
on Wednesday she had left the city with him for
the West Her babe was left in charge of fam.
lily in South Troy, who agreed to provide for it
for regular weekly stipend.
Yesterday saw the father and his child on
their way to New York city. They will leave
for California this week. Heart-sick and DESC
late, the betrayed husband and father has turned
his steps from his native city, never again to re.
turn. Whether the false wife has returned from
the West we are not informed; but who shall
predict the measure of her semorse when the IA
tai result Of her perfidious conduct shall be made
known to her?
