There is not much doing in prints. but a little
more activity Is observable in the choicest
styles OF the new effects. Purchasers are rather
cautious in their selections; but in many cases
the manufacturers have SO much confid dence in
the maintenance Of prices that they are willing
TO guaranty their customers for q certain time
against loss by depreciation Of prices Cling
nams are in fair demand at steady piIces.
Printed lawns are in rather more active re-
quest, and prices are firmly maintained. For
otner descriptions OF cotton goods there le a fair
demand and a nrmer tone as to prices, without
any changes which call for remark
Wooi;ens remain quiet, with a small demand

-Moreanatic marriages are quite co nm,

-Morganatic marriages are quite co nmon
among the royal families on the continent OF
Europe. The word morganatic is said to be
deri 7ed from the Gothic morgan, to curtall or
limit, aud is used to Indicate lower sort OF
ma rimonial union, which, as civil enga {e-
ment is completely binding, but fails to confer
on the wife the title or fortune of her husband,
and on the children the right oil succession.
This explanation is necessary, to understand
the Intelligence from st. Petersburg, that the
newly married wife of the Duke of Leuchten-
berg, the nephew Of the Gear, Alexander u.
badrece, ed for herself and her descendants
the title OF Countess of Beaubarnals: The de-
cree 'onferring this title sets forth that by the
organic law Of the Empire the Dukes title
cannot pass to his children, nor can the title
OF Duchess be borne BY his wife. IL adds.
however, that the marriage took place with
the full consent of the Gear. This, it is assert
ed. is the first instance OF ,he formal sanction
of morganat:c marriage in Russia, aud l. is
conjectured that the imperial RECOGNITION will
be gwen to similar marriages that have here
tofSre taken place. Thus, the Grand Duchess
Mary, the mother of the Duke of Leuchten-
berg, who was the eldest daughter Of the Gar
Nicholas, after the death Of her first husband
married morganatlcally Count Gregory StroGo-
noff. This latter marriage, it ID asserted, will
now be recognized.
