4 Forthcoming Royal Marriage.

There is no reason to believe that
England VIII shortly have another
Royal marriage. The visit of the Duke
of Edinburg to the Hanoverian ex-royal
family at Gmunden is believed on the
Continent to be connected with the
Dukes betrothal tc one OF the ex- Kings
daughters. He has two, both of them,
it is said, under twenty-one, and both
very pretty. Their father is reported
to be one of the richest men in Europe,
so there ought to be no difficulty about
the dowry, which will be especially
gratifying to Mr. Lowe, at this season
of discomfort.

Puget Sound,

The Hon. VIM. A. Howard, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, recently delivered Il lee
ture to his fellow citizens, in which he
gave a glowing account Of the timber
region around Puget Sound. Among
other things he said he had seen pine
trees there each of which would make
more lumber than the average OF five
acres of timber land in Michigan would
produce. The average yield. OF five
acres of pine lumber laid III Michigan,
he said, is less than 80, 600 feet; but
there are trees i'll the Puget Sound
region which will yield Sc, 600
feet of lumber each, without working
up to within eightw feet Of the
small end. He had seen trees ten feet
through at the butt, sound as they
could be, straight rs an arrow, and
more than $50 feet high. The wood of
these gigantic trees Is coarse, and is
not good fer fine work but III the same
region are very large white eedars,
which grow III abundance, and make
excellent finishing lumber. Fir and
pine trees; however, are the most com
mon in the region described, there be-
ing three kinds of the latter, white,
yellow and red, the red predomluatlng.
This has a coarse grain, something
like hemlock, but is free from knots.
1t is the red pine which grows to such
an enormous size.

The FOS in London.

We do not know what fog is, what we call a
fog here, would be called in London merely a
slight mist. There, the fogs have density and
gloom that are appalling. Each pedestrian
must be preceded by torch, and even then he
can see very little, A torch cannot be seen twenty
steps of. and al ten steps it looks like a dull
coal OF fire. In London they have Just gotten
out Of three days fog. All business was sus-
pended, and people feared to 20 into the streets.
Some idea Of lhe danger may be imagined from
the fact that as soon as the fog lifted fourteen
bodies were found drowned in dock. What
number were run over in the streets gotialls and
other fatal hurts, is not yet reported, 1t pro-
baby is four times the number of the drowned.

embarrassed by the temporary stFingency Of the
currency and other effects of the panic Of Sep
tembeF. Then the sheet anchor which every
body chung to was the credit and solVency of
the government, and the one thing in which
people appeared to put their confidence beyond
all things else, beyond stocks, bonds, lands,
houses or goods. was the paper currency Of the
government, which was nothing else than the
governments promise to pay. Now the sub

REPEAL OF THE BANKRUPT LAw.-The

so far a. they relate to the fees, compensations
Of oficer and agents Of the courts inbankruptcy
cases, which are to be reduced one-half The
lower branch Of congress has thus promptly re-

to the existing bankrupt law. The benefits it
may have conferred upon few unfortunate
debtors have been Outweighed. in many cases,
By terrible lOssesinHieted alike or debtors and
creditors. One ofthe congressional orators,
yesterday, in advocating its repeal, tersely said
that "it had operated practically as a confsca-
tiOn OF the debtors' estates, not for the benefit
of creditors, not to pay their debts, but to put
fees in the pockets Of officers Of the court, and
some instances, in those Of the judges them
selves" From the outset, in nearly all the
proceedings under The bankrupt law, assests
have been squandered and absorbed by official
