France. —The Emperors marriage, though taking
people by surprise, has not been exactly a nine day's
wonder; and the public has tor the List two or three
d.ns looked ujhri it almost as a matter of coutse, and
have cease ito be surprised. From the present state of
public feeling, always of course excepting political arti
cle , there i> rea-on ‘o anticipate that the future Em
pre-s v. ill be g .erallv jsipular. A great deal will ol
course depend upon bersetl, and the immediate frietids
and advisers by wham she may be surrounded. It is
something in favor of the Countess of Teba that she ap
pears to have earned the dislike of a few well known
characters who, to the disgrace of Parisian society, are
tolerated in it; and it argues well for the decency of the
future court of the Empress that such tiersons should be
among the first to assail her. With reference to the
disci editable stories that have been current, and the
scene of which was laid at Cempeigne, it is positively
ass-rtc| that these stories were false.
People are now speculating as to the answers that
will be received from foreign Courts 011 the notification
of the Emperor's marriage being made to them; and it
is surmised that some expressions in the address will be
considered as rather wounding to their dignity, or their
amour propre, and may produce a corresponding reply.
In several political circles comments have been very
freely made, and the term used with reference to Aus
tria, iu particular, alluding to the marriage of 1 lie Aixh-
Duehess Marie has, it appears, given some offence.
The crown jewels have, ii appears, been delivered
with the accustomed eercinouv to the Minister of State
by the Minister of Finance. They hail remained in the
Treasury since the night of the 24ili of February, IH4S,
where they had lieen deposited by some faithful servant
of Louis Phiilippe.
Some persons say that if the Pope will not come to
Paris to crown the Emperor and his consort, they will
proceed to Rome to have the ceremony performed. The
Emperor is said to have declared so, and the ifuidnui.e*
are trying to make out of the expression something
nr.re than it bears on its face.
The city of Paris has voted to the Empress a diamond
necklace of the value of >s •', M • f. anes.

Franck —The civil marriage of the Emperor took
place at the Tuileries at s o’clock on Saturday evening,
with, as the papers express it, “noble simplicity,’*—
Eight hundred [n-rsons were present. The religious
ceremony took place on the following day, at Notre
Dame, and was celebrated with great pomp and splen
dor. The populace turned out en masse, ami the city
was decorated with dags, &e. In all directions the
streets were lined with military, and the scene was of
the most imposing character.
The service was performed by the Archbishop of Pa
ris, and everything passed off well. Three thousand
political prisoners of i>sl were pardoned on the day of
the marriage. The Empress refuses to allow the Senate
to settle any dotation upon her and this, coupled with
her previous refusal to receive jewelry from the muni
cipal council, had produced a most favorable impression.
The municipal councils all over France were voting con
gratulatory addresses to Napoleon.
The report that the Asiatic cholera had broken out in
Paris had caused great uneasiness.
The French minister at St. Petersburg bad presented
his credentials and beeu favorably received by the
Czar.

Lon.ievitt of Quakers. —Quakerism is favorable to
hinti, i tiy, it seems. According to late English census
returns, the average attained by members of this peace
ful sect in Great Britain is 51 years, v months and 21
days. Half of the population of the country, as is seen
by the same returns, die before reaching the age of 21,
and the average duration of hitman life the world over
is but 33 years. Quakers, therefore, live a third longer
than the rest of us. The reasons are obvious enough.
Quakers are temperate and prudent, are seldom in a
hurry and never 111 a jtassion. Quakers, in the very
midst of the week’s business—on Thursday morning—
retire from the world, and spend an hour or two in si
lent meditation at the meeting house Quakers are dil
igent ; they help one another, and the fear of want docs
not corrode their minds. The journey of life tothem is
a walk of peaceful meditation. They neither suffer nor
enjoy intensely ; but preserve a composed demeanor al
ways. It is not surprising that their “day should be
long iu the land.”— luUUigencer.
Reciprocity Bill.—The following are the provisions
of Mr. Seymour’s bill, reported in the House of Repre
sentatives on Friday: “Conditions precedent—First.
The same rights for catching and curing fish tor Ameri
can citizens as are enjoyed by subjects of Her Britannic
Majes’ von the coast of British North America. Sec
ond. The free navigation of the St. Lawrence and the
St. John rivers. Third. The abolition of the export
duty on lumber cut on lands of the l nited States, and
floated down the St. John. When these are arranged
by treaty, the leading natural products of the Provinces
aud the’ Cuited States are to be reciprocally admitted
free, including fish. A separate arrangement i- to lie
made with respect to lumber, which is to be admitted
on the same terms a> it may be admitted hen-after iuto
Great Britain.
Nebraska and tie Indians.—The new Teritory of
Nebraska contains, it is said, g-nyx l -.’ square miles, with
a population of less than 60* ■ souls Two Slates at least
will in the end be made cf it. probably slave States.
There are in this Territory now some is Indian Tribes,
who bare been moved north west of the Mississippi, bv
this Government, —with certain pledges, that they shall
never be included within any state or Territory.
The act of Congress, ls.-ie sets apart a certain coun
try. which is to lie 011 side of any State <>r any organi
zed Territory, and audio tires the President” to give
guarantees to the Indians who move llitre that they
s!ia!i maintain their position beyond the limit* of any
Terri iory or State.
“ Se". 3. .-l it f -ether *r.x •■*../. That in the ma
king of anv such exchange or exchanges, it -halt and
may be lawful for the President solemnly to assure ihc
t iheor aation with tvii ili the exchar ge is made, Out

States will cause a patent or grant to be made and ex
ecuted to them toy the same; Proc del ul-t> That
such lands shall revert to the United States if the In
dians beeome exiinet, or abandon the same.”
The incorporation of “ Nebraska” Territory over
these Indians is a violation of the solemn pledge made
in t.en Jackson’s time, when so much Dotse was made
not u* the removal of the Indians The Territorial act
absorbs all Indian country east of the Roekv Mountains,
anu leaves no more room for Indians to emigrate to.
Lo the Poor Indian !
Singular to say,—this Territory under the circum
-anoe* was incorporated mainly bv the Northern vote,
with the desire of the incoming administration to have
the patronage of anew Territory.

. Tiie Children of oi r Great Pouts.—lt is impos
sible to contemplate the early death of Byron’s <>;ih
child without reflecting sadly on the fates of oJior fan.i
lies of our greatest poets. Slukapeare and Milton each
died wiihout a >o-i; but both left daughters, r.r:d both
names are now cxiinct. Shakspetre’s was soiiii so.—
Addison had an only child—a daughter—a girl of some
live or s.x year ,at her father’s <1 -ath. She died uiimui
ried, at the age of eighty or more. I’arquhar left two
girls dependent on the friendship of his friend Wilks,
the actor, who stood nobly by them while he lived. —
Thev had a small pension from the Government; and
having long outlived their father, aad seen liis reputa
tion unalterably established, both died unmarried. The
son aud daughter of Coleridge both died childless. The
two sous ot Sir Walter Scott died without children;
one or two daughteis died unmarried, and the Scotts ol
Abbotsford and Waveriy are now represented by the
children of a daughter. * How little could Scott foresee
the sudden fa l ire of male issue.
The poet of the “ Faerie Queeae” lost a child when i
very \o tng by fire, w hen the rebels burnt his house in |
Ire and. Some of the poets had sons anil no daugi.- 1
teis. Thus we read of Chaucer’s son, of Drvdcn’s sons, !
o* the sons of Burns, of Allen Ramsay’s son, of Dr.
t onng s son, of Campbell’s son, ol Moore’s ,a*n, and of
Shell*’s son. Ben Jonson survived all It’s children. —
Some—and these among the greatest—died unmarried :
Butler, Cowlev, Congreve, Onvay, Prior, Pone, Grev,
1 hompson, Cmv| er, Akcnside, Sfienstone, Collins,Grey,
Goldsmith. Mr. Rogers still lives-single. Some were
uuiortuuatc in their sons, a sadder way than death could
make them. Lady Lovelace has left three children—
two suns and a daughter. Her tnodicr is still alive, to
see perhaps, with a softened spirit, the shade of the
father beside the early grave of his only child. Ada's
looks in her later years—years of suffering, borne wi’h
gentle and womanly fortitude —have been happily
caught bv Mr. Henry Phillips, whose father’s pencil
ha’ preserved to us the best likeness of Ada's father. -
L/mik n At’u n i uni.
I -i ‘ “Grace Greenwood,” in one of her late letters
to the Na ion.d Eta, speaking of St. Peter’s at Rome,
says;
The works of Bernini and his disciples, marked as
they i! -urly all are by the wild, extravagance and bois
terous strength with which this master seemed to boil
over—bushy-headed saints, who look as though they
had just alighted from riding on a whirlwind and di
recting a strom—angels in such a state of disheveled
diacoinposure, with their drajtery in such u crazy flutter
of breezy folds, and with their very w ing feathers m ou
end, you could almost believe them just escaped from \
some celestial insane asvlum—these are simple detesta
ble.
There are here a few monumental works by Thor,
waldsen aud Cauova, which go far to make you forget
there sculptured abominations Many figures original
ly tine, are utterly spoiled by an atrocious addition of
drapery, consisting ot sheets of tin, rtaiuted in vile im
itation of marble. The modesty of Holy Mother Church
has evidently had an alarming outbreak of late years,
ill the direction of art. Scarce a gleam of a saintly leg
or an angelic bosom is now permitted to shock the pure
eyes of the devout; hut tigures, poetic and allegorical,
muses, seraphs, and the larger-sized cherubs are hence
forth to be muffled up and wound about in this ungrace
ful and iineornforiable manner. “Jfnti nit qui nuily
penneS” Oh, saintly nuns and holy fathers.”
Knee Breeches and Buckles.—Oh! if you could
but see your humble servant in the new costume. I
am sure that, spitg of the respect you naturally feel for
him as your Paris correspondent, you would be moved
to laughter. Slices, silk stockings, tight, small clothes,
a waistcoat with lap(>era, a velvet coat with a standing
collar, and worse than all, a cocked hat and a sword.
Such is this marvellous tout ensemble. The sight of
yourself in it, suggests a fancy ball at once—but when
you are delivered at the Tuileries. you rather incline to
the idea of amateur theatricals. There is a man dressed
as an Emperor, but neither looking the j*art nor acting
it: there is a man in the habit of a Marshall of France,
but whose thick, uncouth proportions, remind you of
the strong man at the circus, who Catches cannon hails
in the na|*e of his neck : there are small men seeking to
pass for great men: bad men. striving to look like good
men: and women of loose character, though of high
rank, putting on the semblance of virtue and morality.
If by any chance there are decent people there, they are
assimilated to the rest by the garments they are com
pelled to assume. If you never thought so before your
fancy dress convinces you now, that the whole thing is
a play —not perhaps a farce, for it is not intended as a
joke— but a tragedy, with shades for the principal char
acters. He means what he does in good earnest, but
the audience take it in jest. The claque is vigorous and
indefatigable—but the uninterested spectators sigh for
a rotten apple, as the most energetic mode of expressing
their unbotight opinion. —Poire correspondent -V ic i ort

Making Ice bt Machinert.—The Burlington (N-
J. 1 pa;*ers are congratulating themselves on their de
livery from a reliance on the lakes and ponds of the
North for their supply of ice. They state that Mr.
Mitchell, of that place, has devised an ingenious p lan
for the manufacture of artificial ice, but from the de
scription, which we give below, it appears it will only
answer in cold weather: —
“ He has prepared a building in which to develop his
plans more fully. He ascertained some time since, that
bv leading a small stream ot water down a piece of
twine, iu ordinary cold weather, ice would make more
rapidly, and he has arranged part of liis large ice house
in such a manner as to make a large quantity of ice.
“ There are large oj>enings at either end and in the
roof, to admit of a free circulation of cold air. Along
■he rafters are leaden water pipes, pierced in small
holes, so as to throw on a considerable quantity of wa
ter iu minute streams or spray. At ihe level of the
perpendicular portion of the building are rods, from
which an innumerable number of small strings drop to
the ground some twenty feet below. The small streams
jilav upon these strings’ and if there is any ordinary
freezing weather, the ice will form very rapidly. The
greater the freezing surface is, the more rapidly will the
ice make, and it may reasonably be expected that this
building will toe filled with columns of ice in a very
short time.
Liquor Law in Sweden. —In Sweden, whoever i s
found drunk is fund, for the fir*t offence, three dollars;
for the second, six; for the third or fourth, imprison
ment is added to the fine, and deprived of the right of
voting at the elections, or holding office and also expo
sure in the church on Sunday. If the same individual
is found committing the same offence a fifth time, he
ia imprisoned six months and condemned to hard la
bor.
If a professor of religion, it is still more severe, and he
is cut off from ihe church. An ecclesiastic who lulls
under the offence loses his benefice It is strictly for
bidden to give or sell spirituous liquors to students, ser
vants, or apprentices. \\ hoever is found drunk in the
streets or making a disturbance in a public house, is
imprisoned and fined—one-half the fine goes to the in
tiirn-.er, and the other half to the poor. Twice a year
these ordinances are read aloud in the churches by the
clergv, and every tavern keeper is bound to have a copy
hung in the principal room of his house, under heavy
fines Under these resolutions scarcely a drunkard is
to be found —Siirrbt ft Travel*.
Mine. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt lias just presen
ted a considerable sum in money, clothes, bedding, and
provisions, to two charitable institutions recently estab
lished at Stockholm -the hospital of St. Magdalene

promised to visit S ockholui in the holy week, to take

The English papers are having a great glorifica
tion over the fact, that laims Napoleon ordered his bri

Ct re for Erysipelas. —The Salem Cie* rrer says a
correspondent of an exchange paper gives the public a
cure for this desiressing disorder. He says, “a simple
poultice made of cranberries, pounded tine, and applied

also in this vicinity, a certain remedy. In his case, the
poultice was applied on going to bed, aud tbenext mor

COMMERCIAL.
Cotton Market.
Our market is quite dull at this time, and very little
Cotton offered, aud few sales made. There has been
.1 general decline on all qualities during the week past,
of about One-fourth of a cent. We quote from 7to
cents. The present state of the market is probably
more to be attributed to the excess of receipts over last
year, than to the late foreign news. The present re
ceipts at the Atlantic and Gulf ports, are stated to be
5''6,000 over those of last year at the same date. The
New Orleans papers of ih*‘ 15th, state it to be 555,009.
‘hat of the Lull ports is stated to be four hundred and
seventy thousand. The present crop is now estimated
