AGRATrIToUs ASSUMPTION.-The New York
Ersniag Post credits our recent exposition of
the tone of the French and German press, with
reference to the temperance society habits of
Gov. Wright, our Minister to Berlin, to the lad
min stration." Bosh. The editor knows well,
that the administration has no more to do with
the publication of news in the Star, than in his
own journal. The truth is, he supposed that he
could make political point in the way of in
ducing an arrangement between Governor w.
and the government here, by creating in the
mind of the former to conceive that the Star
is inimcal to him. personally, and represents
the administration in its publication of news.
Such work is, indeed, labor thrown away. Gov.
Wright stands as well, we know, with our gov
eminent as any other American abroad in a
public capacity, and has no more sincere friend
than the Washington Star, though we do choose
to notice whatever the Continental press may
say of him as an American functienary, when
we judge their comments likely to be of public
interest in the United States.

The report is very voluminous, and reflects
no little credit on 1. " Fowler, Esq, the New
York City Postmaster. 1t comprises, as far as
we could judge from the dimensions of the
''pile," about seven reams Of paper, of which
part is imperial and part super-royal. Not
outstanding its great bulk, however, it has
| been accurately compiled, forwarded hither,

eight days since the expiration of the quarter
| HE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL
The approach of that event occasioned rich
display of the spirit of English nativeism,
| through some OF the English newspapers and
other periodicals. From the days of William,
Prince of Orange, to this hour, Germans have
been fayOrite antipathy with considerable
portion Of the English, which never fails to
manifest itself on the occasion of each succeed
ing marriage of persons Of the English blood
| royal, with Germans-events of very frequent
occurrence, indeed. The following epigram-
which we get from the Aigems,me Zeltnnp-
now being sung by the ballad singers of Lon
