drums as having been put in mr on. The pro cession passed through the colo nude up to the chapel doors. The Lord Chan ellor and other 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 ish, and to obey, ti 1 death us do j ut. accord:- 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 ders of the Garter and the Bath, Jul carried his 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. ted guests to the dejeuner followed each other in 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 pied only by her Majesty and Prince Albert; the second by hisSeiene Highness Prince Ernest of Baxe Coburg, and three others by the Lord ar.d Lady in Waiting, the Groom of the Chamber, Equerry, two Maids of honor, and other attend ants of her Majesty and his Royal Highness, A grand banquet was given at Bt. James’s in j the evening. In the evening the illuminations w T ere general, and all the theatres were opened gratuitously by her Majesty's command. We have not thought it worth while to trouble the reader with any de tails as to the conduct of the immense assemblage of people in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace and Bt. Jame’s, on this auspicious day. as well as of the large masses of holiday folks, who lined a great part of the road to Windsor. Suffice it to say that the most unbounded enthusiasm was ev erywhere characterised by singular propriety of demeanor. CHROMULK AM) SENTINEL. AUGU S T A .

The New Yorker. The prospectus of the eighth volume of this valuable news paper, has just been issued by the enterprising Editor, Mr. Horace Grcely, a gentle man possessing a high order of talent, which, combined with his fine sense of honor, his just regard for the dignity of the press, and his inde fatigable industry, have rendered the New Yorker the most able, interesting and impartial weekly journal in the United States. This is truly a high compliment, but by those who have been con stant readers of the paper it will be regarded as only just.

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. ; The schr Meteor, Capt. Kemp, from New f York, a new and first rate vessel, was accidentally 1 run aground a day or two since, near the Three , Trees, about 15 miles below this city, on Galves - ton Island. Fears are entertained that the ves sel will bean entire loss, i The steam packet New York, Capt. Wright, went to her assisnance on Saturday evening last, , and returned on Sunday about noon, and reports r that the vessel is not injured, and will probably t he got off. Tie New York could not get within half a mile of the vessel. ; The following extract is from one of the let ; ters, dated Flore’s Rancho, Jan. 29, 1840: 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. From the Appalachian Gazette, Ith inst. 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 I | St Augustine, March 5.

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 It is said that the earth has suddenly sunk down in front of the Levee for more than a mile in length, above Carrollton.

American Sculptors in Italy.—For the following intelligence in regard to American sculptors and sculpture in Italy, we are indebted to a private letter from an American gentleman now travelling in Europe, whose opinion in works of art and taste we highly estimate, from a personal knowledge of its value.— Cour, Eng. “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 , j " av *\niANA. —A cute yankee has caught a Van Buren man in the “ Hoosier State,” and is ta king him round as a show.

Mrs. Susan Brown, recently died at North Salem, New York, aged 103. The following jeu d*esprit was written by the facetious George Colman the younger, on the ap pearance of two great productions, viz :—“ the Meditations,” by the Rev. James Harvey, and the inimitable fish sauce by his contemporary of gastronomic celebrity. “ Two Harveys had a mutual wish, To please in cither’s station. The one invented sauce for fish.

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.

The principal decline was submitted to on the better classes, there being no demand for infe rior, and consequently none was offered.
