pherlc phenomena, if the following Incident told

really reliable -
On Tuesday, while Mr.. Corey and his two sons
were at work in field his house, their atten-
tion was arrested by smoke, which appeared to
rlseIrom MS stable. They hurried to the barn as
quickly as possible, and discovered pile of straw
on fire. This was Immediately extnguished, and
as they were returning to the field the stable
caught IN different places, which, by considerable
exertlon, was put out. Before, however, they had
lett the premises, another fire was discovered un-
derneath the granary in pile of boards The bot
tom beard was burnt nearly through, but the 9th
ers were not ever scorched. After this was put
out Mr.. Corey sent one of the boys into the house
to ascertain if all was safe there. He immediately
came out and told his father that the house was on
tre. MIR. Corey Immediately ran up stairs where
he found some clothes that his wife had laid away
the day before, burning. They were thrown out of
the window, and from that time until late at mid
night the fire broke out all over the house. First.

straw bed, &c, and it was only the utmost exer-
tons OF Mr.. Corey, aided by the two gentlemen,
Messrs Hale and Tradewell, that the building was
saved. The fire continued to break out at inter
walls for several days, and attracted mauy visitors
We shall not attempt to give any cause for this
wonderful freak of nature, but will leave the ques-
ton to be solved by some OF our philosophers

THE PRINCE OF WALEs-THE Royal MARR,AGE
AcT.-To the Editor of the North British GIasooo
DAILY Uait-SIR believe that neither the Prince
of Wales nor any member of the royal family can
legally marry without the consent of the reigninp
sovereign; or, by the Royal Marriage Act they and
their issue are debarred from any right of
succession to the crown. With the appro-
baton ot the sovereign, believe (but NAV be

of the royal family may marry into English Scotch
or Irish families. From the small selection exist
ing amongst the crowned or Grand Ducal families
OF Protestant Europe, it is possible that the Prince
may not md amongst them lady or partner to his
taste. Supposing such were the case, and that his
Royal Hlghness met with, in the United States of
America, an accomplished American female in all
respects and IN every way agreeable to him, would
not such an alliance meet the approval of the reipnipg
sovereign OF these realms, in preference to having
partner for life forced on him to whom he could
not give his affections? An alliance of the kind
here indicated would cement still closer two great
saxon nations speaking pes E the same language.

Now German Cousins far removed
All very well may be,
But Cousins German oft have proved
Too near the parent tree.
Near Cousins DER the German tide
What need remains to seek,
Now steamers cross the Atlantic wide
Almost within week?
OF Yankee Land the Beauty pales
All Continental Fair:
Might not bride be found for Wales
A distant Cousin, there7
