A MYSTERY OF THE PAsT.-An immense
catacomb can be seen at Rothwell, in the
interior of England, near the direct route
from Liverpool to London. 1t is an inn
mense vault built of masonry, under church
which dates back apparently for its first
erection TO about the year 1850, and con-
tains the skeletons of thirteen thousand
men, probably wariors, of great size. piled
up in regular srder, so that skulls and large
bones only appear on the outside of the
piles. The skulls show marks of spear and
hatchet, but no gunshot wounds, and their
owners probably fell in mortal combat an
terror to the invention OF gunpower The
vault was discovered by accident, one hun
dred and sixty years ago, and has no con-
nection with the church as FAR as known :;
in fact, the mystery is, that there is no his
torical evidence nor traditionary legend that
throws the least light upon the obscurity of
its erection. No anatomist, historian, eth
nologist, antiquarian, nor savant of any
stripe, has been able to decide the peo-
Pile even to whom they belonged. We're
they native Saxons, or Romans, Danes Nor
mans, or what Nobody has more than
guessed. \ plausible theory is that they
belonged to Danish invaders, slain by the
Saxons about the year 100; still, this is
only probability.

Love and Royalty.

There are scarcely any people who have
had more cause to complain of the 0bStruc-
tions i'm the course of true love, than the
royal house of Hanover, reigning in Eng
land. Owing to the disposition that pre-
vailed among the princes and prineesses in
the last century, to marry into families not
royal, whereby that mighty pure Hanover
blood might be contaminated, the Royal
Marriage Act was passed in the time of
George Ill This act declares, us stated in
a long historical article i'm the Boston TrdU-
eler, that all descendants of George H.,
should be incapable of marrying without the
consent OF the sovereign, until after compile
ting the age OF % years, when, having pre-
viously given years notice to the privy
council, and such descendant can marry
without the roya consent. unless both
houses of Parliament, within that time,
should declare their opposition to the con-
templated marriage. This act may have
kept the royal blood very pure, but it has
been very bad for the royal morals, as the
scandalous Illicit amours Of the sons and
grandsons of George III. will prove. They
have all fallen in love with English women,
but have been unable to marry them. The
consequences were very natural, and the
royal marriage act is partly chargeable for
the scandalous lives Of a good many English
princes.
There are two first cousins of Queen Vic
toria still unmarried. One is the Duke OF
Cambridge, Commander in Chief of the
Army--a mature bachelor of over forty,
who fell in love when young, and not being
able to marry the object of his affections
by reason of the Marriage act, he did
as some of his uncles did before him,
and has family that is never admitted to
the Court of st. James The other uu-
married cousin of the Queen is his sister, the
Princess Mary of Cambridge, whose hand
has been sought in vain by so many needy
German princes, but who remains single
though twenty-six years of age, having
been born November 27th, lS33. At las,
the Duke Of Rutland, an English nobleman
Of great estate aud proud lineage-traced
even to royalty as directly and more purely
than that of Victoria herself-has ventured
to pay his addresses TO the Princess, and
she has accepted them. Butreport says thai
Queen Victoria objects the match and will
lnterpose every obstacle to its accomplish
ment. But the Princess is past the age wher
tine sovereign can positively forbid il, she
may give the requisite years notice to
the privy council and obtain the consent O
Parliament TO her marriage. Her lover il
not young, but in all other respects mucl
better man for an English Princess husband
than any of the German petty princes tina
would like to marry her. He is the head o
the Names family, and is said to have beer
the original Of the Marquis of Beaumanoir
in DTsraelfs Conigsby.

lery. The gallery keeper was absent, and
a negro boy, belonging to the hotel keeper,
volunteered to load the pistols. He did not
perhaps understand the process thoroughly.
The first pistol he loaded would not 60 off,
and he laid it down. He tried his hand at
another; as he laid it down it exploded, and
to the horror of the bystanders, the poor ne
gro fell dead at their feet-the ball had gone
