GOSSIP ABOUT Loyalty.

The London correspondent Of the Tribune
induges in the following gossip:
The Princess Mary Of Cambridge has fallen
in love with Lord Viscount Hood, an officer in
the army, and he with her. and the Queen won't
let them be married There is a preposterous
"Royal Marriage Act" which allows her Majesty
an nnrighteous veto on the union OF member
of the royal family with anybody out Of it, and
her consent has yet to be obtained, though il is
said that the Princess has solicited it, told
yon recently hoW she had made herself i'll by
''irying Banting." She ia the plumpest and
handsomest Of princess, very "jolly" in manner,
and proportionately popular, while her choice
il the best looking fellow at court; hence the
sympathies of those who talk Of the matter are
strongly on the side Of the lovers, The Queen
has, al il well known, q pretty strong iden Of
her authority and prerogative, and folks bet on
her refusal. Should she persist in saying nay,
let us hope that the young couple will get mar
led in spite Of ii. / wonder what pains and
penGlties they would render themselves liable

Mary would make capitol queen herself

STORY ABOUT TIE QUEEN.
Another story 10 going the rounds about the
Queen, which / regard as totally apocryphai,
yet think it my duty to tell it. We have resi-
dent in London a ''loyal Indian prince, the
MaCarsjah Dhulesp Singh" splsndidly hand
some fellow, in the prime Of life, . perfect
Prince Djslma. Well, it is said that the widowed
majesty Of England wanted to make him o sue
successor TO the late Prince Albert, and would
positively have done so a few months ago, had
not her ministers strenuously objected to suoh
Ru act Of royal misoegenation. LstteTly the
MahGrajah has married beautiful English girl
Of the middle CLASSES. We may put the royal
story down as unlikely as that which assigned
10 her Majesty the authorship of "Margaret
Dsnail's History" published 10 the Cornhill
Aogazasi but there ere persons who believe
both.

wedding ceremony at Penryn came to an
unexp xpeoted close on Thursday under peculiar
ciroum stances. A well.to-do young man, named
Andrews, recently returned from Australia, had
wooed and won O damsel respectfully connected;
and having procured license, the pair attend
ed by more than dozen friends in four or five
carriages, arrived at about / O'Clock on Thurs
day morning at the doors Of st. Gluvias Church,
Penryn. The appearance of the party Indicated
q more than ordinary desire TO do all honor TO
the occasion. The officiating clergymen, the
Rev. Q. D. Sauders, curate, conducted the SER
siee, which proceeded in due course until the
question was asked Of the bridegroom, "Wilt
thou have this woman to be thy welded wife 7"
To this, instead of the ordinary affirmative, he
replied; "Well, | don't mind taking her for a
month or SO on trial" This unseemly speech
astounded the congregation and disgusttd the
clergyman, who INSTANTLY closed his book, went
into the vestry, and disrobed. The PARTIES fol-
lowed him, begging him to proceed with the
ceremony, hut he resO Olutely refused, and left
the building, and conferred with the arohdeRcon
Of the diocess, Rev, Chancellor PhilpOtts, who is
residing at the vicGrage. A demand was made
for the return OF the fee paid for the license, but
th 8 also was declined and the party evidently
much chagTined, returned to the church and re-
entered the carriages, giving orders to be driven
as quickly as possible to Falmouth Amid the
ironlcal cheers Of the assembled crowds, the
parties drove Of, and, Just before twelve o'clock,
dashed up TO the. office OF the Superintendent
Register of Falmouth, and applied TO have the
marriage ceremoey gone through Instantly. For
this, however, there was not then time, aud the
doubly disappointed party repaired TO the Globe
Hotel, where, for the remainder of the day,
they endeavored as best they could to keep up

A DIABoLIcAL ATTEMPT TO BURN NKw
YosK CrrY.-On Friday and Saturday last
diabolical attempt was made to burn the
city of New York. The incendiaries set
fire to the st. james Hotel, tho st. Nichol-
as, the Metropolitan, the Laferge House,
Tammany Hall, Lovejoy's Hotel, the Bel
mot House, and Barnums Museum. At all
of the places mentioned the FIRE was fortu-
nately extinguished before it had obtained
headway sufficient to do much damage be-
yond the immediate vicinity where the fire
was lighted. 1t was doubtless the inten-
tiou of the scoundrels to continue the
work during the night but the information
was Immediately telegraphed TO oil the
hotels, and the vigilance of the proprietors
prevented them from carrying out their
design. On Saturday it was discovered that
the Astor House and Howard Hotel were
on fire. In both cases the flames were ex-
tinguished before much damage was done.
A woman was arrested on the charge oi
being concerned with the incendiaries, but IN
examination proved her limo cence, aud sht
was discharged. Several other parties hav,
been arrested and are still in custody. Ii
accomplishing their fendish work the con-
spirators saturated the bed clothing will
some intiammable material and employed
phosphorus. Gen. Dix has issued the fol-
lowing order:
"a neiarious attempt was made last night
TO set tire to the principal hotels and othei
places of public resort in this city. If this
attempt had succeeded, it would have result
ed in frightful sacrifice Of property ant
life.
"Ihe evidence Of extensive combination
and other facts disclosed to-day, show it Il
have been the work Of rebel emissaries ant
agents. All such persons engaged in secre
acts of hostility here can only be regarded
AS spies, subject to martial law and TO th,
penaty OF death. If they are detected they
will DO Immediately brought before a cour
martial or military commission and if con
victed, they will be executed without thi
delay of a single day."
General Dix has also issued an order re-
newing the notice TO all persons from in
surgent States to register their names a
headquarters. Persons failing to compl
with these instructions will be treated a
spies.
1t is to be hoped that the vigilance Of tn
authorities will result in bringing th
rascala to speedy and summary punishment

TnE UNION AS an was.

For some time past the democracy have
been blatant for cessation of hostilities,
with view to negotiations for restora-
tion Of the authority of the government on
the basis OF the "Union as it was.n On the
other hand the true friends of the Union
have zealously labored both in the field and
the forum for that object, by the only means
left us-a vigorous prosecution of the war,
until the traitors are compelled to lay down
their arms and return to their allegiance.
The leaders of the Mcclellan party have
been constantly assuring their followers that
the south would return TO its allegiance
with certain guarantees. MIR. Stephens in
q letter to Senator Semmes Of the Rebel
Congress, declares that "their ideas on this
point are illusory and yain." and that there
can be no hope for the preservation of our
liberties, except by presenting a solid
and unbroken front to the enemies of Re-
publican government. The best and only
peace-m makers we have are GRANT, SHER-
MAN, SHERIDAN, FARRAouT, Porter, and the
brave men under their command. Hear
what Mr.. Stephens says:
"Ths old Union and the old Constitution
are both dead, dead forever, except in so far
as the Constitution has been preserved by
us. There is for the Union as it was no
resurrection by any power short of that
which brought Lazarus from tho tomb.
"There may be and doubtless are, many
at the North and some at the South who
look forward to restoration of the Union
and the Constitution as it WAS but such
ideas are as vain and illusory as the dreamy
imaginings of the ludian warrior, who, in
death, clings to his weapons in fond e1pec.
tation that he will have use for them beyond
the grave in other lands and new hunting
grounds"
