NJ. AND Mas. joins DEAS.-John Dean,
the pcnuiess New York Coachman, and Mr.
Boxer, the millionaire ruuseier and iudig-
nant "parink" oC Johns new wife, On re-
&c ence TO whose clandestiuc marriage all
Gotham was thrown into such a sensation
latelyD have amicably arranged their trou-
bcs on terms like these. John is to 20 to
school one year, and his wife 10 remain with
her parents. If at the end of the year, she
is still willing to live with John, then John
is to have her-otherwise they are to sepa-
rate. The \. Y. Kerald makes the follow
ing sensible remark on the case:
PARvENU SSoBsERY.-A liquor dealer in
this city, we! to do in the world, had
daughter, who fell in love with his coach
man and privately married him. On this
the father locks her up, maltreats her, &C
cuscs her of insanity, and is only restrained
from kidnapping her and carrying her off
by the strong arm of the law.
We submit that if any insanity be devel-
oped in this proceeding it is in the mind Of
the parent who displayed such horror of his
daughters Hlissalliance. 1t may be very
refining and exalted calling in life to sell
spirits; and the post OF coaehrnsn or car
penter-for it seems the swain was both
may be very humble one. But. accord
ing to American notions, the rank of the
ono and the other must be determined solely
by the honesty and loyalty with which their
respective duties IN life are discharged. \
vender Of adutcrated brandy is beyond all
comparison beneath steady coachman.
And if the coachman in this case be a cor
rect, worthy man, the conduct of the liquor
dealer whose son-n-law he has become has
abundantly proved that the homer conferred
by the alliance is bestowed by the bride
groom and on the parent.
1t would be very fortunate thing for one
half the aristOcratic parnevues of this CITY
to marry their daughters to honest, faithful
men, earning their bread by honest labor,
however humble, instead of trading them
of, as they now do, to snobs whose whole
life is calculated to deterorate the race. dis
grace our society, and bring CONTEMPT on
the nation.-N. y. Herald.

Rev. MR. kALLocu-This is the celebra-
ted Fremont preacher and orator in Boston.
about whom SO much fuss was made several
months ago on account q reports to his
disadvantage, alleging questionable familiar
tiles with certain lady not his wife. An
indictment for adultery was found against
him, and last week he had his trial. \
number of the Boston and New York papers
have the bad taste to publish the details Of
the evidence, which might be suppressed
under the statute against obscene and ncen-
tious publications The jury, after remain
ing out day or two, agreed to disagree, 4
majority being for acqui,,al. The prosecu-
ting witnesses swore through pretty clear
case against the gentleman, but their repu-
tation was bad, their evidence contradictory
and variant, and the hotel they kept mani
testify Of q low character. The Rev. gen
tleman seems to have been fond Of "whis-
Ky skins and admits that he called for
one or two at the bar of this rowdy house,
where the alleged adultery was committed.

ANOTHER CRISIS IN MEXICAL Affairs
Intelligence from Vera Cruz to the Goth ult.,
states that the government was in such
Strengthened circumstances that it had been
forced to suspend payment at the Custom
House at Vera Cruz and also at that in the
city of Mexico. 1t seems by this that the
sale of the church property has but little
effect toward relieving President .Comontort
from his pecunary difficulties. And to add
to his other troubles, numerous einissaries
of Santa Anna were said to be in the coun-
try.
The new constitution was proclaimed on
the 18th ult., but that, though in several
respects an improvement upon the old sys-
TEN, will not mend matters much. We see
no hope for the regeneration of Mckee,

NICARAGUA ArrAns-Later advices from

NICARAGUA AFFAIRs.-Later advices from
Central America throw considerable doubt
upon the reliability of the reports in refer
ence to the late victories of Gen. Walker
in Nicaragua. We find the following in the
telegraph dispatches from New York on
Tuesday:
The Tribune publishes statement fur
nishcd by a passenger that arrived in the
Texas, a native of Nicaragua and formerly
An adheren, of General Walker. He asserts
that the report of Walkers victory on the
10th is entirely unfounded. He was at the
camp Of Gen. CanaS just previously TO the
18TH at which time Walkers whereabouts
was unknown, having a few days previously
abandoned the camp 1T Hvas with the in
tention of reaching the sea coast
The Tribune informant further states
that the correspondence between Conas and
Walker, which has been tortured into ionn-
datiou for the statement that Canas was
ready TO join the tilli.usters, WAS III reality
with reference to the surrender OF the latter.
Walker HAVING proposed to submit, provi'
drd he and his men were permitted to leave
the country.
Canas replied, offering passports for the
whole, excepting Walker whom he express
ed de;e, minaton Of delivering up to the
Costa Risans.
The result Of the correspondence was the
refusal on the part of Walkers adherentsr
and their subsequent fright to the sea coast

FEsre7-. We have noticed by the press

Is bein: discussed and warmly advocated by
portion OF th. citizens Of the county, ami,
whereas, said court hoMSe las cost TIE tax

We deem it Of sufficient Importance 1t this

Es.2lrsd, That We deem the present court
