SPELL came back home with child in embryo, never
having been married-or at least it is so said She
became mother, and resided home abont six months
or year, when she went off on tour with man
named Armstrong, New Yorker.
She was afterwards married to Courson, with
whom she resided till the 23d of March last, when
when she again LETT West Milford 10 meet the said

KANSAS, April 4, 1856.-Tho Kansas Commission
ers arrived last night. They are greatly at loss
where to begin, what TO do, and where to go to do it,
The committee have been treated with marked DO
hteness and doubtless the majority of them are sur
prised to find the Border Rutfans so decent set of
fellows. Being introduced 10 the Chairman, he prov.
ed to lie gentlemanly in his bearing and apparently
reasonable in his principles he is tall and rather good
looking, and at first sight, would take him for
Georgian, but the Yankee brogue of the " Western
Reserve" soon /" sticks out" after few moments
conversation.
Yankees the worst specimens are pretty thick here

Trouble among the Friends

| FRIENDS YEARLY MEETING.--The orthodox branch
OF the Society of Friends holding their an
nua meeting at their meeting house, Fourth and Arch
| streets. This meeting, TO which none but Friends
are admitted, we understand is likely to be stormy
one in consequence of difference of opinion on the
tendency of the views of Joseph Gurney-.a differ
ence which has occasioned schsm in Two of the
yearly meetings of the Society, viz that of New
England and Ohio
The origin of the difficulty occurred some twelve
years since, in consequence of the society in New
England expelling John Wilbur and several others
on the ground OF slanderous defamation of the char
acter of Gurney. The expelled Friends established
yearly meeting, and addressed epstes to the vari-
Gus bodies of their denomination in this country and
in England. number of the societies took no no.
tce OF the subject, and therefore refused 10 recog
nlze the new society; but the society here showed
disposition to call in question the act of the New
England Friends in expelling Wilbur and associates,
but this was resisted by many of the Friends.
NO other yearly meeting except the one in Phia-
delphia has acknowledged the Wilburite body as a
place in the meeting here, the property at Fourth
and Arch would doubtless go to the anti Wiburs, as
the will of William Penn gives to the society the
ground under deed which conveys it to them for
the and benefit of the Society of Friends in uni
ty with the London yearly meeting, the Wilburite
body not having been acknowledged either in Eng
land or Ireland
The sessions so far have been quite spirited, in
consequence of propositions having been made in fa
vOr OF division IN the society and the organization
of new yearly meeting. Epises have been re-
ceived from New York, North Carolina and Indiana,
informing the yearly meeting that unless it was pre-
order of the society they must decline further cor

Fillmore and Grund.

With strict regard to the fitness of things charac-
terstic Of the Know Nothing party, Francis J. Grund
is allowed TO report the motives and dvuIge the
counsels of the ow-Nothing nominee. By birth
and blood Grund is an Austrian Jew, a prostitute in
morals, by trade foot pad, and in politics a hire
ling scavenger. This individual selects the columns
of The New York Herald as the medium of commnni-
cation between MiIlard Fillmore and the people of
the United States.
Gruhd says, wiring from Rome and in the pres
ence OF Fillmore, that he will not accept or reject
the Know Nothing nomination, until be is informed
of the result of the Cincinnati Convention, and as
cetains the chances of his success-whch is exactly
equivalent to declaration that he will never accept
all. for by that time FIlmoe's name will not even
be before the country. Grund tells US, moreover
that if Fillmore should accept the nomination, he
will not commit himself by any pledge or declaration
but will stand solely on his personal merits.
1t is singular coincidence that a wretch like
Grund should write for gentleman like Fillmore.

THE SEA SERPENT AGAIN.-ihe Norfolk Herald
of yesterday Contains long editorial concerning the
appearance of Sea Serpent, seen by the Captain
OF coastng schooner, day or two since. AS it is
likely 10 prove quite interesting anything that
we could publish during the present great dearth of
news, we suhjoin the Herald's account entire:
Yesterday, Captain Birse, of the schooner Eliza
Ann Steele, informed US that while about miles
south of Great Egg Harbor, on his way to Norfolk,
the vessel making about p knots an hour, and the
beng very calm, his attention was cal ed to an
object in the wafer about 80 yards off, which he at
first thought tree. On looking again, however
he perceived ripple, and spray apparently breaking
over it. The watch being below, he sent boy, the
only other person on deck, 10 bring his glass; and on
examining the object through it he perceived that it
was monster. 1t had then erected it's head which
was oval in form, some three feet above the water,
and he could plainly of its eyes, which was
very large and very sparkling, and surmounted by
huge bunch The serpent had evidently become
alarmed and before he could adopt any measures to
capture it, disappeared, going down head for emost
and in doing so. gave Capt. B. opportunity of see
ing the whole of his body. He says the head of the
animal was apparently very rough and knotled but
the rest of his body was very smooth and black, and
his tail was fat like an cells. He supposed it TO be
at least forty feet in length and of the diameter of
hogshead As soon as it disappeared the Captain
threw the lead and ascertained that the depth of
water was only FIVE fathoms, and he says that no
whale was in such shallow water, and that
moreover he is an old whaler, has perfect knowl
edge of the habits of proposes, black fish, sharks
&C., and could easily distinguish them The living
thing seen by him was none of these, and if it was
not sea serpent then he does not know what it was
We tell the tale as it was told to u.s. and Captain
Birse is willing to swear to it.
