quota of New York City under the 100000

4,430 men, and this number is reduced by
more than 1000 recruits obtained since the

The deficiency therefore is not far from

An officer was shot last night while de-
Tending woman from ruffians. A Mr..

PURSUIT OF MATRIMoNY UNDER Diff
CULTIEs.-On last Saturday, a gentleman
bordering closely on three score, with grey
whiskers and white hair, accompanied by
a ablo0ming lass of some seventeen summers,
presented himself to the Clerk of the Pro-
bate Court in this city, as a candidate for
matrimony. On inquiry the Clerk ascer-
tanned that the intended bride was but sew
enteen years of age. OF course license
could not be granted without the consent of
parents or guardian. But the parents lived
In another country beyond the wide Allan
tic, and the young lady had no guardian.
Here was dilemma. But the difficulty
was soon overcome. The eager and expect
ing-to-be husband procured a person who
consented to become the guardian of his
would-be-made bride, and gave his consent
to the proposed match. Letters of guardian
ship were accordingly taken out, the license
obtained, and the wedding was to take place
the next day, New Years. day.
But on Monday the twain returned to the
Probate Judges office, and instead of pre-
senting their marriage certificate, stated
that after getting the license, they had a
quarrel, on some religious or political diff
ference, and had come back to have their
license Cancelled. The license was accord
ingly committed to the flames, and the en-
try of its allowance on the Clerks books
erased. Thus ended the old gentleman's
matrimonial endeavor.

A force of about 1000, including the End
Maine cavalry, 1st Florida cavalry, 18th
New York cavalry, three regiments of col
ored infantry and two pieces of artillery,
under command Of Col. G. d. Robinson,

house filed with grain and government prop
erty, and quartermaster and commissary

their crossing the bridge. The colored in
fantry made successful charge.

FOREIGN NEWS.


| Th0 English Press ON LtmCOLm,0 MICS

| New York, Jan. 2.--The steamer New
| York, from Southampton 2lst ult., arrived
here at IL o'clock this morning. 5.''I7 am
President Lincoln's message was received
in England on the 18th, per the Asia.
Parliament is expected to reassemble on
February 9th. 'l 1W 2afm "7FJ
The Times says Lincoln's message con-
tains little from which the Federals can de-
rive encouragement or consolation, and that
the Governments position, militarily and
financially, is rapidly growing worse. The
message effectually destroys peace expecta-
tions. The Times thinks the North does
not possess the power of conbscating prop
erty. The mere threat of confscating gives
the South the strongest possible motive to
resist to the last extremity. The report of
the state of the Federal finances is even
more discouraging than the military intel
ligencc is unfavorable, although the situa-
ton, even as depicted in the message and
accompanying reports, financial and mill
tary, renders it the most uncomfortable ad-
dress ever read to the American House of
Representatives. e
British neutrality has been maintained
so well that there is only one point in the
message which concerns England directly
the resolution toplace additional force on
the great lakes. This is not to be complain
ed of. We hope the Canadians will take
measures to prevent Canada from being
made basis of incursions into friendly
state. If by placing gunboats on lakes On
tario and Erie, the enterprise can be imped-
ed, Lincoln will only be engaged in an OBJ
ject in which the British authorities will
be bound to assist him. but we sincerely
wish that this increase of force is not meant
to be permanent. We cannot conceive the
necessity that occasional forays of few
adventurers should be brought into cOnnec-
tion with the question of continuing or
modifying the rights to transmit from Cam
ada to the United States, as well as the reg
| ulatiOn of imports which was temporarily
established by the Reciprocity Treaty of
1854. ag @
| The Asia's news had no effect on the
markets. The Confederate loan was CLIO
81; French rentes 65f 25c. A contract for
loan of three millions pounds to Spain by
Percia was signed. Consuls S916 6@S9L;
Illinois Central declined 1c; United States
520s declined "a; Erie paid up shares =.
Paris papers publish dispatch from
Messini, announcing disturbance in Haute
from political causes. Several persons
were wounded.
| SPAIN.-The Ministerial crisis is ended.
Endeavors to form new ministry were
futile. Narvarece cabinet remains un-
changed. Cortes will be opened on the 23d,
when the Queen will make speech from
the throne.
PRUssIA.-The guards engaged in the
| Danish war returned to Berlin and were
received enthusiastically. The King said
they had added another leaf to their glori-
GUS history.
| ITALY.-Morimora demonstrated the
necessity of economy in the maintainence
OF the army and navy. The Provisional
budget for the first three months of 1865,
was agreed to. The Chamber adjourned.
GREECE.-The Foreign Ministers have
| resigned.
