Through the Generals politeness. we are
enabled to lay before our readers, in ad-
vance of any other paper in this city, sy-
nopsis of his mastery address delivered
before the citizens of Boston, at the Ire
mont Temple
We trust this effort on the part of our
worthy Mayor, will have the tendency to
bring thousands of Eastern people to this
section.
Such expositions of the true state of West
ern affairs, is just what is needed to bring
this country under the direct notice of East
ern capitalists, and Eastern farmers and me-
chancs. For his kindness thus to favor us,
the General has our warmest thanks. The
public will also feel grateful for this effort
in their behalf.

The following extract, says an Albany
paper, from private letter lately received
by Palmer, the scu ptcr, from dis'ln-
gushcd Ex-Governor now IN Rome, contains
q suggestive commentary on those numerous
art-hargains, in which the purchaser as well
as the picture is sold"
Il have not the rage for what .re called
and sold for Old Masters There WIS a
case before the courts mere short time
since, of gentleman who had purchased
an authenticated and certified original paint
ing. with a celebrated name, Tor $500,
(S4.000) lie subsequently, learned that be
original was in certain gallery or pal
ace, and that he bad only copy. lie
sued the person from whom he purchased
it; and on the trial the painter who made
his copy wac witness, and swore that the
made it and received only $50 for it IRON
the merchant who sold it to the plaintiff .
Such Cases are not uncommon. The ins'-
tatlug OF old paintings is trade quite as

Painful Retribution, II True.

The Newport Spectator says there is a
Young man 10 town Of Vermont who Gao
not speak to biz father. Previous to his
birth, some difference aro'e between bis
mother and her husband, aud for a coDsidera-
tle time she refused to speak to him. The
difficulty was subsequently healed; the child
was born, and 10 due time began to talk, but
when sitting With bis father WAS invariably
silent. L. continued so till it was five years
old, when the father, having exhausted his
powers Of persuasion, threatened 1t with
puri-hment FOR its stubborunes4. When the
punishment was inflicted, il ELECTED nothing
bat signs ard groans, which told but too
plainly that the little sufferer was vainly en-
deavoring to speak. All who were present
united in this opinion that it was impossible
Tor the child t, speak to his father; ard time
proved their opinion to be correct. Alta ma
turer age It's efforts to converse with its par
ent could only produce bitter sighs aid

Gretnn Green Marriages.

The force Of custom over law Is exem-
plifed by the continued resort u lovers who
have unreasonable parents or friends, 10 that
famous locality Known rs Gretna Green. A
recent Scotch paper -ay-:-lne vicinity OF
Gretna Green is still dangerous to ardent
couples, but the whoies"me operation OF the
new law is frequently illustrated. lmpTu-
dent lovers not Cut of their teens, who could,
without difficulty, year or two ago have tied
the Goldian knot ut tho Blacksmith's hard
by, have been compelled to perform leg |
quarantine before they could BIO admitted to
the haven of their desires. Ia two Instances
lately, the necessity of these preliminary
steps has led to reflection, and the union has
been prevented by the interfere nee OF friends.
In third instance the impatient couple de-
terniDed to effect the transition upon the old
system. They accordingly vent to Gretna
and were there married IN due form. Vi
course the proceeding wna illegal, bot though
the couple have been assured Of this, they
either DO not, or affect not TO believe 1t, tor
they are now living openly together as man
and wife, and 10 doubt are considered as
such by their friends

Renewed Activity IN stocks.

Few of our readers can have failed to OBJ
serve the remarkable increase IN the sale OF
stocks, which has taken place recently, and Is
at presen, going on with great rapidlty. The
present activity in the stock market exceeds
anything which has been seen here for long
rime. For many months before the recent
revulsicn, the sales at the Brokers Broad
we're bu, trifing in amount, tof cons'dera-
ble period not xcceding 5000 900 per III )nth,
and perhaps at times MT even reaching that
figure But at the very moment wben stocks
we're suffering under tbis paralysis IN Boston,
New York was witnessing mania for stock
specula,ions, never eqnalIed in this country.
In the month of July. tho sales at tie

Sll.00O,OO0 per week, and the excitement

began To affect the principal operators
Wheu the storm finally came, the transac-
tons in stocks, like thUec 10 every other KIND
of property, gave way to II; but now that
Quit is restored, the fever FOR speculation has
-prang up again 10 New York, as well as III
Boston, and promises to reach, ii not exceed,
its former intensity. Boston AdrOcGtc.

TIN. Defeat OF tin. British Ministry.


The Times says that the real question in

with the French government; and the House,
by - majority, has for the present decided
he had not The consequence OF the divi-
sion last night must be serious; probably more
so than the ma jUrity has thought hit To estl-
mate. We fHrDear to anticipate the decision
of the government 90 point which happens
to affect an imperial interest OF un-peakabie
Importance, but it is plain that un!ess mo
tires of paramount duty should oblige Pal
merston to retain office, the simplest course
would be for him to resign and leave TO the
radical and tory faction (who though dia-
metricaliy op, posed to each other on the bill,
Dave united for the purpose OF defeating It's
purposes, the task OF deciding by which OF
them the government Of the country shall be
carried on.
The Daily News accounts for the majority
against the government by stating that the
contempt Tor the pu-ilanimity that could per.
NIT Count Walewski' first dispatch to remain
unanswered is all the more natural, and has
discussion and vote
The Herald expresses the opinion that the
amendment proposed ty the member for Ash

aud that the only recourse for Palmerston Is
immediate retirement from Parliament 1t
has virtually censured the ministry, and Tor
them TO attempt to retain authority would be
mockery and degradation.
