ONO PENITENTIARY-AEgUA REPORT.
The Annual Report of the Directors and
Warden of the Ohio Penitentisry FOR the
year 1862 has been issued. The Directors re-
port very favOrably as to the supervision of
the Institution, not only in discipline, but the
neatness and order manifest. There were
confined during the year 1,l6l; of these, $50
we're discharged by expiration Of sentence,
90 were pardOned, 8 have died, were re-
leased on writ of error, escaped, and I was
sent to tho Reform School, leaving the num-
Der in the prison, up to the date Of the re-
port, November lst, 76s.
This shows decrease Of 1856 as compared
with last year, and an increase of thirty in
the number discharged, pardOned, &c.
The expenses of the Penitentisry for the
year were s9S,443 Y; the receipts during
the same period s73,O72 q; leaving an ex-
cess of s20,S7I 81.
ConYicts have also during the year been
employed by the State, making in the aggre-
gate 1921 days. The lowest amOsnt paid
by contractors is IS cents per day each con-
Wet, which at that rate would make $l7,-
2O2 A to be placed to the credit of the insti-
tuition, which, deducted from the excess
S2O,37l 81, would leave balance only o.
s3,l69 90.
The Directors also report in favor Of {
more suitable apartment for some insan,
prisoners who require constant attention ant
proper medical treatment. The health Of tn,
unfortunate inmates is at present excellent.

A letter in the Herald states that Acting
Master Partridge, of the gunboat Hatteras,
who was ordered to board the vessel speak
ing the latter, says that he had not showed
of the ships length before the Alabama
poured in her first broadside, which was
Immediately replied to by the Hatteras.
This occurred just at dark
As the first broadside was exchanged,
both vessels steamed ahead side By side,
exchanging broadsides as fast as the guns
could be loaded and fired, and within q
very short distance Of each other.
Mr.. Partridge was pulling ahead all the
time to endeavor to reach his vessel, but
did not succeed. He says the cannonade
lasted about twenty minutes, when he
heard the sound Of musketry. By dint of
hard pulling he came again in sight of the
vessels, and found them stopped with the
Alabama alongside and the Hatteras
blowing of steam, and heard cheering
from the Alabama, proving that the Hat
teras had been captured by boarding.
Deeming it best not to be taken prison
er he pushed back in the direction of our
squadron and was picked up.

Programme Of Tom Thumbs Marriage.
Our lady readers will be interested in
the following details of the approaching
marriage Of Tom Thumb and Miss Lavinia
Warren. Bishop Potter will perform the
service, assisted by the Rector Of St. Johns
Church at Bridgeport, where the little
General usually attends. Trinity Chapel
not ehurch-has been selected for the
no6nced, in February t6In. IMMEDIATELY
after the nuptial services the bridal pair
viii hold reception Of two hours at one
Of the first class hotels, and none will be
admitted to this reception excepting those
who hold cards Of invitation to the we'd
ding.
The ambitious young bridegroom has is
sued invitations to large number of dis
4 tinguished personages, in addition to his
personal friends. The President and Mrs.
Lincoln, the fereign ambassadors and
! their ladies, the Governors Of the adjacent
States, General Scott, General and Mrs.
/ Wool. General and Mrs. Fremont, General
and Mrs. Mcclellan, are among the invit-
ed but the number of cards of admission
will be strictly limited to the seating ca
pacity of the Chapel. 1t is estimated that
after the distinguished invited guests and
the personal friends are provided for, there
will be still left about three hundred seats,
! which will be distributed among the elite
of this and other cities. OF course there is
a great sensation in fashionable circles
about the matter, and fabulous prices have
been offered for cards of admission; but
money will have no influence in this case.
Some Of the shrewdest Of our millionaires
have however hit upon the expedient of pre-
senting Miss Warren with charming little
bridal presents (some Of which are on view
at Ball s. Blacks, and we understand
that the fair bride has responded to their
generosity by sending them cards of invi-
lation to the wedding
Early in March the tiny and happy cou-
pie sail for England to make the tour Of
Europe in strictly private or non-pro-
I fessional capacity. Miss Warren was
heard to say yesterday that she thought
the monsrchs of the old world would think
America was not yet impoverished, when
they see the magnificent and costly bridal
presents Of which she has been the recipi
ent. These gifts include wedding dia'

The London Times Defending Slarery.
At length the mask of hypocrisy is of,
and the London Times, SO long in the ser
vice Of the rebels, has come out with q long
article endeavOring to prove by soriptural
tests that slavery is morally right. The
"Thunderer" has been tho hireling advO-
cate of the aecursed trade in human flesh
and has repudiated the English boast Of
freedom to all To show how this course
of conduct is regarded at home, we quote
the following from the London Daily News
Of the 7th:
The Times yesterday came forward,
Bible in hand, to defend slavery in every
shape, and quoted Scripture in defense Of
the institution which is the sum and epit-
ONE Of all human wrongs. In that book
we are told, there is not one single text
that can be perverted to prove slavery un-
lawful : while it is doubtful, according to
the same authority, whether the New Tes-
lament did not expressly intend that a
great portion Of mankind should remain
always slaves. Certain passages in the
Epistles, it is asserted, clearly prove that
q slave who refuses the offer Of freedom
has a high scripturaI argument for his
choice At last, then, the moral leprosy,
which has tainted limited circle Of opin-
ion In this country, has broken out in the
sight Of all men. We are glad of il, for It is
on every account better that poison of this
srtshOuld come to the surface than work ST.
lently in the system. No ooneis likely to mis-
take the nature Of the influence at work
when it comes out in branding plague
spots like these. All the world may now
see what the advocacy Of the slave power
involves. The sentences we have quoted
speak for themselves That such things
should be openly said in this country at
this time Of day is a spectacle to Christian
England and Continental Europe. A
more terrible or instructive Nemesis could
hardly be imagined. We may look with
touch of scOrn or pity upon men brought
thus low, but it is impossible to regret
their painful self-exposure. For the sake
Of morality and religion, it is well that
they should be driven heedlessly on to
glory in their shame, and 10 be pilloried
by their own hands in the sight Of Europe
and the world. The spectacle is instruct
i've too. These advocates Of the slave
power did not at once or voluntarily
reach this depth of degradation. They did
not begin by quoting the Bible in defense
Of slavery. But nothing is more tyranni-
cal or exacting than an evil cause, and
they have been driven into that position.
The evil principle must subdue everything
within its way TO its own level. The
slave power accordingly exercises as des-
potic control over the minds of its sup
pOrters as it does in the persons of its vic
tins. twill tolerate no half measures.
1t demandsthe yOked body and the servile
mind Its supporters must become slaves
in opinion, and defend at all costs the di-
vine right Of slavery"

We have received the above new story from
thepublishers through Wilson & Widdicombe,
who have it for sale. This novel has caused
an immense excitement in London, and will
have an enormous sale here. The English
press pronounce it to be far superior to % The

the celebrated novels that have made their
appearance in the literary world for the past

Miss N. E. Brsddon, whose novel Of {" La
dy Audley's Secret has gone into the eighth
London edition in six weeks, was nearly un-
known, as writer, a year ago. First she
tried to live as a PianO-fOrte player and vo-
ealist, but the public did not encourage her.
Next, she played small part or two on the
stage, but with equal bad results. Lastly,
she collapsed into pen and ink, wrote a sketch
called the q Artists Story and, with great
difficulty, succeeded in getting it published
in small periodical called The Welcome
Guest. However, she got paid for it-a tribe,
but enough to encourage her. About a year
ago she commenced Aurora Floyd" in
Temple Bar, and hasjretcOmplote it. With
in the year she published "Lady Audley's
Secret as book, and its success was great.
" Lady Lisle," also by her, has been duly
announced. In the first, and also in ' John
Marchmont's Legacy" commenced in the
December number Of Temple Bar, her .theat-
rical anteosdents have evidently left their
trace. Miss FlOyd's mother was an actress,
and John MarchmOnt an actor. Miss Brad

may offer to publisher. Such are the ups
