GENERAL LEE TRA1ToR--A most interest ing paper read before the last meeting of the New York Historical society, by G. H. Moore, the librarian, states that it is proved beyond question by recently discovered papers, that Gen. Lee was bold and well nigh successful conspirator against the liberty of his country. and unexplained in the conduct of Lee and in our Revolutionary history is thus made clear Bancroft will doubtless rejoice that so impor- tant a discovery concerning our revolutionary history, is made in time for his great work The paper of Mr. Moore should be published at once with all the evidences on which his strange statements are based. People will wait with intense interest to learn whether Ge Lee must henceforth be classed with Benedict Arnold, the traitor---N. 4. Palladium

DROLL MARRIAGE CEREMONY-AN INEBRI.
 ATED BRIDEGROOM

A day or two ago youthful pair arrived from
 down the river, and repairing to Justice McFalr s office, demanded that he should marry them The magistrate informed them that he would be at their service in few minutes but they urgent that he deferred the business in hand and, leapihg into the hack with the twain rode to his residence Court street. The girl had three trunks brought in from the hack and taken up stairs, where she followed with a band-box or two, and in the course of an hour descended in full toilette, more rural than modish, however, with red ribbons flying all about her still redder face.
 Her lover, in the meantime, was so overjoyed with the prospect of approaching bliss that he had sent out for two bottles of brandy and three of wine, and had sat down with the Justice to await the pe- riod when his inamorata would appear. The lover drank copousy, which, added to his excess of hap raness, soon turned his head completely, and when the damsel came down, he had grown quite drunk, and was dancing jig with his coat of on the mid de of the floor.
 Beholding the bedizened fair, he ran toward her, and clasped her in his arms with a strength that would have caused the death of 8 city dame. She returned his pressure, when he capered about the room more lively than ever, and imbibed half a pint of 5randy at single draught. Indeed, he grew so "happy' that he could not be kept long enough in one place to be married, and when the magistrate succeeded in quieting him down, he was so weak in the knees that it was necessary to sup port him while the service was performed.
 To the question, Will you take this woman to be your welded wife 2" he replied, "Why, why hic.cer-cer certainly ifI-hic-wouldnt if t, wh- wh- wnat-hic-the devil would-wouldI be-hic--here for, 'Squire-hicg cg'
 The inebriety of the husband seemed to amuse the wife much who clapped her hands in glee and exciamed m the most rustic style: "Oh laws, aint he drunk T and gosh but he's funny hope he get so often; we Il have good times then
 After the ceremony, the husband took another large potation, and in attempting to kiss his wife, embraced the Magistrate the first time and fell up on the floor; whereupon the muscular McFall fear ing the consequences of his drunkenness picked up Benedick in his arms and carried him to the hack amid the laughter of the girl eonsort who took hei to the fullest extent Cmcassyzs Iqasrv, 10th.

CLERK1Na AT THE WEsT-A letter from St Louis in the New York Express, gives the following advice to young men at the East
 |" In connection with this subject, wish to say word to the unemployed and disahccted clerks of New York, with regard to the pro- priety of leaving New York or any Eastern city, for this or any Western city, in search of employment. If you are getting living at home, remain there, by all means, or, if you have even the prospect of doing well, content yourself with it, for this market is completely overrun with clerks, book-keepers, salesmen &c., iu search of employment. Many famil- liar faces notice from New York, all patient ly waiting for something Micawber-'ike to turn up.' There are hundreds in the city who have been accustomed to good salaries Hast, who have immigrated with the hope of doing better, and who, having spent their lt- t's all, would gladly go to work for their board. A few have been fortunate, but they are excep. tions. Again, I say, remain at home, unless sure of 6 situation as soon as you get here, for although wages are, as general thing, better than in the Eastern Cities, the thing has been over-done, and you would have to take your chances with the hungry hundreds"
