ger for his young mas ter, In viting him to come
in and read the ceremony, declaring that he
had no faith in marriaseeby negro pSeacherss-

In short time the messenger returned with
the master, who performed the ceremony with
all the grace and dignity Of an older parson,

Whether the officiating clergyman had license
for the occasion, we are not prepared to say;
but certain 1t is, that he understands the duties

False Pre.emees-Our notice on Saturday last
of the means resOrted to by a lady to raise the
wind, has brought to light another female ope-
ratOr, and may possibly lead to the detec tion
and punishment of some of this gang OF vol
unteers who are robbing the charitable by So
liciting contributors upon, the false pretence
aid for the Duval street Fair did not obtain it,
as we at first undefs TODD, simply because the
person applied to knew something OF the ar
rangements of that church. That she did i'm
no doubt. We have before us a note from an
intelligent and benevolent friend, who says he
was called npOn one day last week by
smooth tongue woman to contribute to the
Female Orphan aAsyiw,a, and that he readily
gave what he could spare. The same woman
called on another gentleman and received $40
for the Asylum; and a. everybody seems dis
posed to aid the orphans, it rs not at all i'm
probable that she made a handsome raise at
their expense. The President Of the Asylum
Board - says no collectors have as yet been
appointed, and their collections will not be
commep ced until spring; SO that all who nave

meantime, let the late beegar be hunted up and
made to dsgorge, or suffer the consequences.
Clay Stasue.--At i2 O'Clock to-day the people
of this city are invited to meet on the Dock,
near 23d street, to receive and escort to Me-
chanics' Institute Hall the marble statue,
prepared for the ladies of virginia, and which
is said to be a beautiful work OF art. The
Commi ttee of Arran gements, on behalf of the
Directory, are to meet at the Hall Of the In
stitute at 10 O'Clock, from which place they
will repair to the schooner Danviile, where
the statue is now ready for delivery. We need
not say word TO induce our readers 70 take
part in any act that has for its object
the honoring OF the memory Of Henry
Clay. His lifelong service in behalf of
his country, his craftsmanship Ind his elo-
quence, are but paris and parcels Of the
his tory OF this Union, and as such are known
to all who read. With his dealh all party
section joined with one accord in praises Of
his lofty patriotism and devotion to our coun-
try. But whilst his history and his fame re-
the possessions ofevery State in the Confede-
hot - VIry, ~
renders his memory even more sacred to our
people and will induce them TO iuin, as one
| man, in doine honor to him who decl red that
he would rather be right than be President
The Washin s.on Monument.-It has been sug-
gested, as considerable time will elapse before
the remaining statnes are placed in posi- iion on
the above monument, that the authorities hav.
ing il in charge would do well to preserve it
from any chance Of mutilation either by acci-
dent or design, by causing it to be enclosed
around the base win neat and cheap wood

the view either of the Patsr PatriQ, or his
revolutionary compntriots. or the monument
ITSELF would effectual!y preserve the latter
from such chance mutlatioE as The breaking

ing free negro children from ether counties TO
this city and hiring them ont as slaves. is one
that ought to be broken up, tnasmuch as II
enables that class of persons to gain a limited
residence here, when they could do so by no
other means. Free negroes have right TO
remain in Richmond more than sixty daye,
unless granted permission by the Hustings
Court; and no one has a right to employ q free
negro who has not his proper register. II a
citizen Of Richmond has q free negro in his
employ, he has no right to give that negro q
pass +; and II the negro has such pass, and il
arrested, he is liable to punishment. Our citi-
gems are deeply interested in the enforcement
of the law against free negroes coming to the
city to reside, and should be particular never
to employ one OF them improperly.
