A few weeks since. in the ncighborhood of

bride to the altar. The marriage ceremony
proceeded with regularity until the fair one
was asked the question, "Wilt thou have this
man for thy welded husband?' To which,
with much apparent sincerity, she replied, 'NoH
The poor bridegroom gazed upon her with pro
found astonishment; butno eypostulatiou could
induce her to alter her resolution. She frank
ly replied that she had just seen gentleman
whom she liked better This declaration soon
brought matters to crisis. The marriage
ceremony was suspended and the clergyman
politely conducted the parties to different doors
The bridegroom, more disguised with such con
duct than mortified at his disappointment, de-
clared that his affection from that moment were
alienated, and that nothing should induce him
to take the lady. even if her resolution were to
alter Mr. G. B., the lady's own brother, find

splendid dinner would be prepared at his
house, much time and e2apense would saved if
he would return to the church and conclude
the ceremony with one Of the bridemaids.--
The hint was instantly taken, and the propo
sal made, and as the fair one herself had no
objection, special license was instantly pro

The famous American reformer of the
treatment of the insane, Miss Dix, gives the
following interesting particulars of her visit
to Rome and the Pope:
visited the lunatic asylum, and my heart
revolted at the sight. did not see sick
persons whom man should pity, unfortu-
mates whom we should endeavor to cure ;
they were brutes in chains, the dens of which
seemed never to have been cleaned. Sew

Pope, who knew the object of my travels.

Contrary TO recent rumors and positive
assertions, there is official authority for say
ing that the Government at noon to-day
had not received one word relative to the
alleged return of the schooner Susan to
Pensacola from Nicaragua. The Govern
ment is in daily Geographic communication
with several Southern points, and is kept
advised OF filibustering movements, so far as
they can be ascertained Every effort is
made ON its part to suppress them. A re-
cent chartering of a steamboat at New Or
leans with this view, was by authority of
Government, in response to an application
for that purpose.
1t appears from official returns from
Hamburg and Bremen-the two most i'm
portant emigrant parts of Europe-that- the
number of emigrants thence to the United
States was Al, 344 for l0a months previous
to the 18th of November. This is consider
ably less than the emigration for the cor
responding period the year previous.
Lord Lyons, according to the latest Eng
lish advices, will reach Washington about

ordering public sale of A, 300, 600 acres of
