EXTRA SESSION OF CoNGREss. The
call for an extra session will depend
entirely upon circumstances. II,
under the inducenent OF low tariff
in the Cotton Confederacy, imports
are heavily transferred to New
Orleans, our revenue would bo 80
affected as to derange all the esti.
mates, and compel the immediate
action OF Congress. II the duties
are collected as at present, even
with the misappropriation Of those
received at Southern ports. there
would be no necessity tor an extra
session. But the belief obtains that
u large portion OF foreign trade will
take the Southern direction un.lcr
their low tariff rs the Western con-
sumption could thus be supplied far
more cheaply than through Northern
ports. Congress al ,urned without
passing any law authorizing the
President, at his discretion, to sus-
pend or abolish ports Of entry, or
giving him power to collect tho
revenue on board ship. His hands
are tied. and if the contingency oc-
curs which has been suggeste :, his
only relief will DO through al extra
ses ion Although some Of the
elections do not regularly occur till
August, Con. Taylor found it no.
cessary to summon Congress in May.

Indian Chase a fter a Mail Coach.

among which is the following account
OF chase after a mail coach:
The fact that the In iians had but
three horses, and we've entirely des.

that prevented the stage from being

The Indians, to the number of sew

getting ahead OF the stage. The
Driver crowded the mules to their
utmost, and succeeded in making
such rapid headwsy as TO avoid an
attack from the whole party at once.
Not more than twenty Indians sue
cesded in reaching the stage at the
same time, and Tor most Of the way
the attack was kept up by only from
nine to twelve. They would come
up, three upon each horse, and dis

MARRIAGE OF AN ENGLISH HrIREss
TO AN OMNIBUS CoNDUcTnR.--M iss
Margaret Lea Bevan. n young lady
great beauty aud influential con.
nections, has brought eingular
snit for divorce before the English
Courts.
She prays that q certain de factO
marriage, into which che had enter
ed on the cal Of July, 1853, may bc
declared null and void, on the
ground that the license WAS obtained
by fraud. Miss Lea Bevan was the
daughter Of Surgeon in extenslve
practice, and living at a place call
ed Clayton Lodge. in the parish of
Childwall, near Liverpool. Tho
respondent, named Mcmahon. had
Represented himself as a Clerk, bnt
was, in fact, n Conductor of on
omnibus, between Childwell aud
Liverpool.
In this omnibus, il appeared Mics
Bevan had occasionally ridden, ant
that sho had had a few intervie W,
with Mr.. Mcmahon, but there wa'
no reason to think that she knew
much about him, or that che haf
ever had any affection for him at all
Yet it was an undoubted fact thn
she had consented to marry will
him on two conditions first, tina
it should be claudestine, and, sec
ondly, that he should not live with
her till after an interval of two
years.
The evidence introduced snbstan
tiated the above facts, bnt it appear
cd that the fair plaintiff hcrscli wa
a party to the fraud, which was IN
, giving Of wrong names and wrunI
, places Of residence, in obtaining
, license. The presiding Judge eS
/, pressed the opinion that no relic
could be granted, Int said he woul

although the beautiful creature brought all
her light batteries to bear on Major Ripley

often pregnable to woman's assaults, stood
impregnable here. and left the widow per-

DIVERSION OF REU RIvER.-It has for some
years been evident that by sure and rapid
progress the connection between Red River
and the Mississippi is being cut or. The
effect Of the complete consummation of this
process, now going on with extraordinary
and alarming rapidlty. will be to divert Red
River into the Atchafalaya, which affords a
channel for its waters and compsls 1t to
flow to the Gulf at Betwick's Bay. Thus
the whole of the immense and productive
region lying in the valley OF Red River will
suffer the embarrassment of being shut OF
from communication with ITS natural mar
ket, while New Orleans will lose the rich
trade which the river country annually
pouTs into her lap. These contingencie:
are not remote. They will surely happer
within few years il something be not don,
to obviate them. For some years past the
connection between Red River and the Mis-
sissippi has been growing more and NOR,
precarious, till, in low water, it is almos
f., entirely lost. In the high water season tn,
volume iwater which pours down the Atch
sfalaya exceeds the flow Of Red River, a
