ER.-Ihe Princess Royal of England is only
sixteen. Her future husband, Prince Fred
eric William of Pruss ia is twenty Both are
said to be and are we'll bred aud amiable per-
sons. The marriage between will come off
some time this fall. Now that the British
Parliament has settled S20000 on the bride
and given her besides an allowance ofS40,OOO
a year, no difficulty stands in the way. 1t is
indeed whispered in an arstocratic circles in
England that ever were political or financial
objections presented to the marriage, it would
still be preserved in. The youthful lovers
bave seen agreat deal more Of each other
than princess and princesses used to do, be-
fore marriage, in olden time. An attachment
has sprung up between them Of a decidedly
! obstinate character. On the side of the Prin-
cess especially we are given to understand
| the feeling is impetuous and resoute. Sheis
reported to have declared that she cared no.
thing what Parliament might vote she would
marry Frederic without title or o penny,
and she knew that he loved her well enough
to reciprocate the attention. This is

to German papers brought by the Persia, the
last twenty-one of the untortunates buried in
the Hanensten tunnel were recovered on the

easy death by the inhalation of the noxious
gas. Ofthose first recovered some were stan

and appear to have died without struggle.
! CAUSE OF TIE FIRE.-The fire which de-
stroyed the barn of Mr.. Warner in Hanover
township Lehigh county, Pa. on the 18th inst
originated in somewhat singular manusr.-
One OF Mr.. Warmers sons, lad about u
years old, set fire to large rat which he had
caught. His ratship of course sought a
of place of refuge entered the barn and
brought about the result already mentioned.
1t is practice among some people to burn
rats and other "varmints" over slow fire, in
order that others may be scared away by their
cries and noise, but it is rather a dangerous
habit, aud BESIDES cruel and inhuman.
Hon. CHARLES SuMNER.-The reports of
Mr.. Summers health received by the Persia,
are not so favorable as his friends could wish.
His chief difficulty appears to be in his spine,
as he is easily fatigued by walking and after
