cession passed through the colo nude up to the

members of the Ministry were g ;eled with loud
cheers. Garter King-of Arms, ith all his her
aldic pomp and pride, and the 1 ad of his col
lege, the Earl Marshal, the Di le of Norfolk,
passed unnoticed in the throng The Princess
Sophia of Gloucester was chee d. The Prin
cess Augusta of Cambridge exc ed general ad
miration by her affability an beauty. The
Princess Augusta was cheered. The Duchess
of Cambridge led her young da l ;hter. the Prin
cess Mary, in her hand. Even sympathy was
awakened on behalf of her Roy Highness the
Duchess of Kent, who looked much affected.
The Duke of Sussex, who was t give away the
Royal bride, seemed in excellen spirits. Lord
Melbourne carried the sword of tate, and was
cheered. Her Majesty came ne t, looking anx
ious and excited. She was paler < en than usual.
Her d ress was a rich white satiil trimmed with
orange flower blossoms. On ht head she wore
a wreath of the same blossoms -er which, but
not so as to conceal her face, a eil of Honiton
lace was thrown. Her bridcmait ; and trainbear
ers were similarly attired, save t iat th y had no
veils. As her majesty approached the chapel the
national anthem was performer. Her Majesty
walked up the aisle, followed by ler trainbearers
and attendants, without noticm or bowing to
any of the Peers. On reaching t * haul pus her
Majesty knelt on her footstool, a d Having per
formed her private devotions, s down in her
chair of state. The different offic rs of state now
took their scats in the body of th« chapel. After
the lapse of a few seconds her A be sty rose and
advanced with his Royal Highne* Prince Albert
to the communion table, where ts Archbishop of
Canterbury immediately eornmer ed reading the
service. The ceremony was preci ?ly that of our
liturgy ; the passage left open for ie names “ Al
bert” and “ Victoria.” Thus I e Archbishop
said to the Prince, “ Albert, wilt hou have this
woman to thy wedded wife, to lb together after
God’s ordinance in the holy estate f matrimony !
Wilt thou love her. comfort her, onor and keep
her, in sickness and in health ; an , forsaking all
other, keep thee only unto her, as mg as ye both
shall live? To which his Royal H ghness replied
in a firm tone ofwoice, “ I will.”
When the similar inquiry wa addressed to
Her Majesty, ‘Victoria, wilt thou lave Alb*rtto
thy vvedd *d husband, to live togel er after God’s
ordinance in the holy estate of ma imony ? Wilt
ihou obey him and serve him, lo honor, and
keep him in sickness and in healtl and. fo-saking
all other, keep thee only unto hin so long as ye
both shall live V The Queen in ccents which,
though full of softness, were audit j at the most
extreme corner of the chapel, rej ied, ‘ I will
and on so doing accompanied the e pression with
a glance at his Royal Highness w ch convinced
all who beheld it that the heart was with her
words. W’hen the Archbishop inq ired. ‘Who
giveth this woman to be married » this man V*
the Duke of Sussex advanced, am with evident
emotion, handed Her Majesty ov r to his Royal
Highness. The usual forms w« 'e then gone
through, and in a lone of voice am with a clear
ness of expression which we hav seldom wit
nessed on similar occasions in mch humbler
walks of life. Her Majesty’s exj ession of the
words‘love, cherish, and obey, am the confiding
look with which they were accoi panied, were
inimitably chaste and beautiful. [’he following
were the exact Wurds said: “I, Allprt, take thee,
Victoria, to my wedded wife, to hig-e and to hold
from this day forward, for better or worse, for
richer, for poorer, in sickness anc in health, to
love and cherish, till death us do ] ut, according
to God’s holy ordinance; and th eio I plight
thee my troth.’ ‘I, Victoria, take ree, Albert, to
my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from
this day forward, for better for wi sc, for richer
for poorer, in sickness and in healt ,to love, cher

to God’s holy ordinance; and tber. *>y Dr»
troth.’ Prince Albert Truf-^g
\fajr. -• • opened o 1 plight my
: store of Messrs I .Sen placed ae ring on her
treafgsey s finger, repeating, ‘with t ,e ring I thee
wed, with my body I thee worshij and with all
my wordly goods I thee endow; i the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, amen.’ The remaining f rtions of the
ceremony were then impressively read by the
Archbishop of Canterbury; and thi several mem
bers of the Royal Family who hac occupied pla
ces around the altar returned to t ke their posi
tions in the procession. On pass! g her Majes
ty. they all paid their congratula ans, and the
Duke of Sussex, after shaking her y the hand in
a manner which appeared to have little ceremo
ny, but with cordiality in it, affect natcly kissed
her che-k. After all had passed with the ex
ception of the Royal bride and b Jegroora, her
Majesty stepped hastily across to t ? other siueof
the altar, where the Queen Dowai r was stand
ing, and kissed her. Prince Albei then took her
Majesty’s hand, and the Royal pai left the chap
el, all the spectators standing. 1 hile the pro
cession was proceeding down the 8 de her Majes
ty spoke frequently to the Earl of Ixlridge, who
was on her right hand, apparent!: giving direc
tions as to the order of the proces ion.
The d >ors were now again ope ed, the signal
guns ceased to fire, and at a few m lutes past one
the procession began to remarshal self for its re
turn. The bridegroom’s processio , which was,
however, robbed of his presence, eturned first.
Again were the Duke and Kered ary Prince of
Saxe Coburg loudly cheered. Th nuptial pro
cession then returned in the •same rder as before.
On the appearance of her Majesty hand-in-hand
with her Royal husband, the clap ing of h inds
and waving of handkerchiefs was mewed, time
after time, until they had pa-set out of sight.
Whether by accident or design, ‘rince Albert
enclosed her Majesty’s hand in hi own in such
away as to display the weddmg-n ig. which ap
peared more solid than is usual in jrdinary wed
dings. Her Majesty then proi ;eded to the
throne-room, where the form of a testation took
place. Her Majesty and Princt Albert signed
the marriage register, which was a tested by cer
tain members of the Royal Fan ly and Lord
Melbourne. A splcndio table had >een piepared
for the purpose. After the ceremc ,y, at twenty
five minutes past one, the first iturn reached
Buckingham Palace, and consisted if the inferior
officers of Prince Albert’s suite, thi Queen s gen
tlemen ushers, and a lady of her M jesty’s house
hold. At twenty minutes to two t « Duchess of
Kent returned; her Royal Highnt » was accom
panied by h-r brother, the Duke ofSaxe Coburg
and Gotha, and Prince Ernest. ’1; v e Royal Da
chess was loudly cheered, which sf acknowledg
ed most graciously. Viscount I dbourne ai°d
Viscount Palmerston followed soc i after in full
official costume, then came the M rquis of Nor
manby, dressed in the uniform of colonial gov
ernor, and at ten minutes »o two o dock the Roy
al procession returned. The Prii :e rode in the
carriage with the Queen, which w s attended by
the Duchess of 8 mtherland. Hi Royal High
ness assisted her Majesty to aligh and led her
into the Palace.—The Royal brie entered her
h ill with an open and joyous coui enance, flush
ed perhaps in the slightest degree,; ul in the most
smiling and condescending mannt acknowledg
ed the loud and cordial chee which rang
through the apartment. The Roil bridegroom
handed her Majesty through the state rooms.
The Duke of Sussex soon followe . The Duke
was dressed in his uniform as Caj . General of
the Hon. Artillery Company, and wore the col
lars and other insignia of the order of the Garter,
Bath, and St. Andrew The DukJff Cambridge
arrived immediately after accoraiinied by the
Duchess, Prince George, and the tiro Princesses.
His Royal Highness wore the iusftnia ol the or

baton as field marshal.—Prince* George was
dressed in the uniform of his reglient, and was
decorated with the order of the Garter. The
Duke led in the lit'le Princess Mary. The invi.

rapid succession. At the conclusion oftlie break
fast, arrangements were made sot the immediate
departure of her Majesty for Windsor, and at a
quarter to four the Royal party left Buckingham
palace amidst the cheers and festive acclamations
of a vast multitude. The first carriage was occu

second by hisSeiene Highness Prince Ernest of

Washington, March 9th.
In the Senate, to-day, the resolution for the
adjournment of the two Houses, on the 16lh
day of May, was taken up and after some little
consideration, was laid over till Monday next.
There is little chance for an adjournment be
fore the fourth of July.
Mr. Williams, of Maine, called up the sub:
ject o! the Maine boundary, and stated, that, in
Maine, the excitement was so great on this sub
ject as to require some action on the part of the
government in relation to this subject. The
message of the President, inclosing many docu
| ments, on the subject, was read ; and the Sen
ate at an early hour adjourned. The starte of
the matter has not altered. The alarm created,
in Maine, about the British force in occupation
of a part of the disputed territory, is shown by
the letters of Mr. Fox, to be without any foun
dation.
In the House, resolutions were called for in
the order of the States. Mr. Adams offered a
resolution for an inquiry by the Judiciary, into
the expediency of pensioning the bloodhounds,
their widows and children, &c. ; also into their
I pedigree with a view to ascertain whether they
were ofthe true blood, &c. Mr. Turney ob
jected to its reception, and Mr. Adams stated
that he wished to speak on the subject—so the
i resolution lies.
Some western member offered a resolution in
i favor of a National Bank. There is no party
i here in favor of a National Bank. The Whiss
1 ”
i disclaim it as much as the other party do. It is
now a settled matter, that R. M. Johnson is to
he the candidateof the Van Buren party for the
Vice Presidency. Pennsylvania has settled that
matter. It is possible, however, that whatever
may become of the Presidency, the election of
the Vice President may fail before the people.
From Texas.
The Galvestonian of the 17th says:—We are
indebted to a friend just arrived from the seat of
government, (Austin.) for several iternsof news.
Among other things we learn that Branch T.
Archer is Secretary of War, and not I. W. Bur
ton —that Pat. C. Jack is Attorney for this (Ist)
Judicial District, and not the 3d district, as re
ported before—that the Cherokea? Land Bill was
passed by a constitutional majority after the veto
uj on it by tltfe President, as was also the bill for
the detection of fraudulent land certificates, a
copy of which we shall endeavor to present to our
readers in our next number.
In addition to the adopting the common law,
! so far as it is not in conflict with the constitution
and the acts of Congress, many important laws
have been enacted during the session, which for
the most part are designed lo regulate the opera
tion of this system, and to accommodate it to the
wants and condition of the Republic. Among
which are the following, which we learn have
become laws- the act regulating descents and dis
tribution of intestable estates. The act regula
ting the execution and probate of wills. The
proceedings of courts. An act on the subject of
conveyancing. Act of limitations. An act to
prevent frauds and fraudulent conveyances. An
act dispensing with notice of protest for non-ac
cepta.ice and non-payment of negotiable paper.
The revenue act. Law of executions. Act to
try the rights of properly. And an act regula
ting the probate courts.
It is probably fresh in the remembrance of most
of our readers that a large number of English
men were swindled to a considerable extent by
John Woodward, in the sale of spurious land
scrip. As an act has been passed by Congress
granting to every Englishman who is a married
man, and introduces his family as citizens previ
; oua to September Ist, 1840, 640 acres of land,
. and to every single man who may emigrate from
i that country to this, within that time as a citizen,
-32 u acres. This certainly shows a disposition on
; the part of our government to atone for the mis
i chief whidh one of its citizens perpetrated abroad,
i where, in a legal point of view, no one was cul*
s pable but the perpetrator himself. Give us Texas
yet for justice.

5 I am on my return from Mexico to the city of
i Houston upon business relating to the Federal
i army. From the Saltillo Gazette of an ult.date,
I learned preparations were making in Mexico to
t invade Texas again. Filis la has been appointed
commander in chief of the invading army, and is
1 in advance of his division. He left the city of
Mexico on the 23d of last month with 1500 in
j fantry. His reinforcements are ordered from the
following places—Tampico, Saltillo, Monterey,
Arista’s division, Apomea's division, ( 'analiso’s
division, troops from Santa Rosa on Chihuahua.
Amountingin all to 8 850, to be concentrated on
. Rio Grande by Spring. I well know the fact,
they are now approaching that river in four grand
divisions. Between them and Texas, are the
Federal troops, amounting to about 2200 men,
hut lor the want ol arms and ammunition, they
will be compelled to retreat towards the Nueces.

Melancholy Steamboat Disaster.
On Thu.slay morning last, the boilers on the
steamer Commerce exploded, destroying the two
engineers, a passenger, Mr. Burton of this city,
three deck hands, and severely wounding several
others. The Commerce left this city about 9
o’clock with the U. S. mail and passengers for
Chataboochie. About 30 miles from the city,
opposite the Three Brothers, she stopped her en
gine for the purpose of setting several passengers
ashore.—Almost immediately upon stopping the
engine, one of her boilers exploded. Mr. Bur
ton, one of the passengers, it appears was in the
act of passing the engine for the purpose of being
set ashore as the explosion took blace. He was
severely injured and died in about three hours.
He was a valuable citizen, and leaves many friends
to lament his loss. His family wc believe are at
this time in Camden County, Ga. 'The princi
pal engineer was thrown into the water, and was
heard to call for assistance; hut although the
most active steps were taken by the captain of
the boat, he sank before he could be reached,
and his body has not yat been found. The se
cond engineer was thrown from his position at
the engine into the cabin, and was quite dead
when found. The boiler seemed to have burst
torward ; consequently the principal damage was
done forward. The passengers in the after cabin
sustained but litile injury. Those in the prin
cipal cabin forward, suffered severely. Judge
Woodward of Mariana, who was on his return
home, was severely bruised. The Rev. Mr.
M’El-.y slightly. „-a i
An inquest was held over tK~ ’
deceased, and a thorough. bodies of the
i • .uiy autlv
tered investigation wasen-
not only as to the condition of the
noat at the time of the accident, but as to her
general management and conduct.
From all the evidence elicited.it appeared that
the engine and boilers especially, were in good
order, they had recently been examined—engin
eers competent to their business, entirely tem
perate and always careful.—The boat was well
managed, and no cause could be assigned for the
explosion. All the testimony corroborated the
statement, that there was no unusual press of
steam. The boat had been running at her usual
speed, and the explosion followed, immediately on
stopping the. engine.
Verdict of the jury was, that the individuals
came to their death by mischance, by the explo
sion of the boilers, and that no charge of negli
gence could rest against the officers of the boat.
Stale of Mississippi,
An act passed the Legislature of Mississippi
(two or three weeks ago) entitled “An act requir
ing the several Banks of this State to pay specie,
and for other purposes.” The first section of the
bill, the most material one, is as follows :
“Be it enacted, &c. That from and after the
first day of April next all the hanks and moneyed
corporations in this State shall he required to pay
specie on all their five dollar notes .«nd all notes
of a less denomination ; and from and after the
first lay of July next, on all their ten dollar
notes; and from and after the first day of Oc- i
tober next, on all their twenty dollar notes; and
from and after the first day of January next, up- j
on all their fifty dollar notes; and .rom and
after the first day of January next, upon all their
notes, of whatever denomination, their bills,
checks, certificates of deposite, and all other evi
dences of debt, on presentaion of the same at
their respective hanking houses, whether said lia
bilities are made payable at their respective hank
ing houses or not ; and, upon failing to comply
i with the foregoing provision theii corporate pow
ers, privileges, and franchises shall herea.ler cease
i he null and void of no effect, except for the pur
poses hereinafter mentioned.”
A Protest against the passage of the bill was
entered by a number of Members of the House
f of Representatives, of the points of which the
following concluding paragraphs area summary:
“ This act, therefore, as a system, is palpably
unconstitutional in its purposes, dangerous and
. disorganizing in its tendencies, grossly unju-t in
j- its enactments, and revolutionary in its principles
and character.
“ The Government under which we live is dis
tinguished for being, in the strictest sense, a con-
I stitulional government. It is the political merit
of this age and country that all men’s rights are
, defined, guarded and protected by a solemn writ
’ ten declaration of their sanctity and inviolability.
r These rights are secured to the weak and to the
poor, against unjust combinations of the strong,
r | whether in the halls of legislation or elsewhere,
j and are made effectual by the separation of pow-'
ers and the preservation of trial by jury. Until
j this form of government be changed by the peo
* j pie in Convention, no power in the State, nor
5 i any majority of the people, can invade the con
j strtutional rights of the weakest, or the meanest
jor the most obnoxious of its citizens. Constitu
r : tional government can allow no excuse, tolerate
’ no invasion of its limitations, without exposin'*-
the whole system to utter and inevitable destruc
tion. Deeply impressed with these sentiments
‘ alarmed at the ruinous doctrines of the bill, and
j. trembling for the fate of a people amongst whom
such measures can find advocates, the under-
J signed respectfully but solemnly protest against
j the measure, and desire to have it recorded that
* ■ they are innocent of this work of usurpation.” 1

A Rpmob.—A Pennsylvania paper gives a ru
mor, that a Committee from the Congressional
Delegation of that State, lately called on Mr.
Van Buren, and suggested to him the expedien
cy of declining to be a candidate for re-election
to the Presidency, as “ the present state of things
clearly indicated that he could not carry Penn
i sylvania.” The ‘ Committee’ is reported to have
added, “unless Mr. Buchanan should be the
candidate, the Stale would surely go for Harri
son..’
We give this rumor as we find it in a Penn
sylvania paper. Its extreme pobability may per
haps be its only foundation. Every part of the
rumor is probable, indeed, except that which 3
would give the State to Mr. Buchanan, as against
Gen. Harrison. If there ever was a change for
such a result, the hard money doctrines of Mr. B.
with declared consequences, low wages and re
duction of prices, must have put an end to it now
and forever. —Baltimore Patriot

American Sculptors in Italy.—For the
following intelligence in regard to American
sculptors and sculpture in Italy, we are indebted

now travelling in Europe, whose opinion in
works of art and taste we highly estimate, from
a personal knowledge of its value.— Cour,

“Our friend Gheenough will have his great
work, the statue of Washington finished by sum
mer. It is an immense work, eight times larger
than life. The block of marble originally weighed
130 000 pounds; and the statue when completed
will weigh some twenty-five or thirty tons. Gree
nough is doing many pretty things for his country
men. A head of Clay for his son-in-law, Mr.
Irwin, is nearly finished ; the likeness is perfect,
and sculpture superb. One of these he has made
before. A Venus that he is executing for Mr.
Lowell of Boston, is exquisite—and two pieces
of great beauty he is engaged upon for a lady in
New Haven. Greenough now deservedly ranks
among the first—if not at the very head of mo
dern sculptors; vvl o in my opinion, in beauty
of execution at least, equal if they do not surpass
the ancients.
A Joke of the Tallest Kind.—The Exeter
(N. H.) News Letter, has a chapter of reports of
trials at the Court of Common Pleas, in that
town. Amongst them is the following: Alfred
Tethcrly, of Charlestown, was indicted for stea
ling a horse, the property of Josiah Woodman,
ot Notingham. On being asked if he was guil
ty or not guilty, he said they might set him down
as guilty, for he went in to the barn to lodge for
the night, and finding no hay for him to lie on,
or the horse to cat, he took the beast, out of pity,
rode him up country, where there was hay enough
and sold him to a man who would feed him well
and not allow him to starve. He thought some
about riding the horse back to his owner, but the
jade travelled so hard, that he would rather go to
State Prison ten years than ride him again a do
zen miles. The Court sentenced him to,
years. . ” v * l,L ‘ e

A beautiful Idea.—Mr. Stevens, in his In
cidents of Travel, mentions that the tombstones
in the Turkish burying grounds, are all flat, and
contain li l tie hollows, which hold the water after
a rain, and attract birds, who resort thither to slake i
their thirst, and sing among the trees.

the inimitable fish sauce by his contemporary of

“ Two Harveys had a mutual wish,
To please in cither’s station.
The one invented sauce for fish.
The other —‘ Meditations.’
Each had his pungent power applied,
To serve the soul when dying—

That saves a soul from frying.”

AUGUSTA MARKET.
. Cotton —The unfavorable news by the Great
■ Western, of a decline in England of £to since
previous dates, has caused our staple to recede a
little from our last quotations. Very little, how
ever, was done in the market yesterday, as holders
generally withdrew, and those who did offer seem
-1 ed quite unwilling to submit to such a decline as
buyers expected; but little, therefore, changed
hands, at a decline of $ to $ of a cent on all descrip
tions. The principal decline was submitted to on
the better classes, there being no demand for infe
rior, and consequently none was offered. We now
quote 5$ to S$ as extremes of the maiket, and we
should not be surprised if a faither decline was
submitted to, when the market settles down.
