Another singular MARRIAGE.

The Albany Journal records the mar
rage of a man named Traux and a Mrs.
Maratinue, of that city. and adds:
The bride is a gay widow of 25 sum
mers, and the bridegroom a widower Of
sc winters. with a family of eleven chill
dren, while the bride has only one child,
a son about 5 years old. The marriage
ceremony was performed at the residence
of the bride, in Chestnut street, in the
presence of a large party, who subse-
quently met at the house of ]. Poland,
in Washington street. where a handsome
set down had been prepared for them to
which justice was done. Wine flowed
freely until near midnight. when the
party dispersed, leaving the bridegroom
to settle the bill with the landlord.
The newly married couple met for the
FIRST lime on Saturday last. when the old
man became ~fascina ed with the young
widow. and he. through the instigation
Of certain parties, offered her marriage.
A negotiation ensued, and she knowing
that the old man was possessed of con
siderable amount Of properly, demanded
from him the sun of $50 per annum,
payable on The first of Nav, for the edu-
cation of her son, and a further sum of
$1,000 to herself. This he finally as
scented 70, when a member of the bar
was called in, who drew up the required
papers. which after being duly executed

Interesting from China.

VI 0-AAAeNs
MACAO. Jan. 90. 1857.
All foreign business is not only sus-
pended, but entirely at an end both here
at Hong Kong and at Canton. Since
my last letter, the greater part of the
western suburbs of the latter city, ii
which were situated nearly all the ware
houses. shops &C., connected in foreign
trade, have been consumed. OF The To-
tai destruction of the foreign factories
you viii have heard by my last letter.
The Chinese compute their losses in
houses, go downs. shops. &c, at ovel
1000 bulldings-up to the present time
and in merchandise, and the value OF
the above property, they state their los
ses at SIC. O0o, O00-which is probably
not far from the truth.
We cannot, of course, know very &C.
curately the damage sustained by the
city Of Canton, since the bombardment
began, e8th October last; but as the lat
ter has been kept up with more or less
%per;inacity to within a few days ago.
when the English Admiral retired with
his forces from before the city. 1t is
fair to suppose that the Chinese do moi
over estimate the loss in life when they
state n at 40, 900, of all ages and sexes.
Everything favors this calculation, as il
is well known that the streets are exceed.
ingly narrow the population of density,
the means or the power to move within
the reach of comparatively few; while
the custom of closing of the gates OF
every street during a period of public
danger. creates immense loss of life, BY
any sudden movement Of the populace.
