dram* h having been put in motion. The pro.
cession pawed through the colonnade up to the
chapel door*. The Lord Chancellor and other
members of the Ministry were greeted with loud
cheers. Garter King-of Arms, with all his her
aldic pomp and pride, and the head of his col
lege, the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk,
passed unnoticed in the throng. The Princess
Sophia of Gloucester was cheered. The Prin
cess Augusta of Cambridge excited general ad
miration by her affability and beauty. The
Princess Augusta was cheered. The Duchess
of Cambridge led her young daughter, the Prin
ce** Mary, in her hand. Every sympathy was
awakened on behalf of her Roysl Highness the
Ducheas of Kent, who looked much affected.
The Duke of Sussex, who was to give away the
Royal bride, seemed in excellent spirits. Lord
Melbourne carried the sword of State, and was
cheered. Her Majesty came next, looking anx
ious and excited. She was paler even than usual.
Her dress was a rich while satin, trimmed with
orange flower Iflossoms. On her head she wore
a wreath of the same blossoms over which, hut
not so as to conceal her face, a veil of Honilon
lore was thrown. Her hridemaids and trainbear
ers were similarly attired, save that tie y hail no
veils. As her majesty approached the chapel the
national anthem was performed. Her Majesty
walked up the aisle, followed by her trainbenrers
and attendants, without noticing or bowing to
any of the Peers. On reaching the haul pan her
Majesty knell on her footstool, and having per
formed her private devotions, sat down in her
chair of state. The different officers of slate now
took their seats in the body of the chapel. After
the lapse of a few seconds her Majesty rose and
advanced with his Royal Highness Prince Albert
to the communion table, where the Archbishop of
Canterbury immediately commenced reading the
service. The ceremony was precisely that of our
liturgy; the passage left open for the names “Al
bert” and “ Victoria.” Thus the Archbishop
said to the Prince, “ Albert, wilt thou have this
woman to tby wedded wife, to live together after
God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony I
Will thou love her, comfort her, honor ami keep
her, in sickness anil in health; and, forsaking all
other, keep thee only unto her, as long as ye both
shall live? To which his Royal Highness replied
in a firm tone of voice, “ 1 will,”
When the similar inquiry was addressed to
Her Majesty, ‘Victoria, wilt thou have Albirlto
thy wedd id husband, to live together after God's
ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony ? Will
thou obey him and serve him, love, honor, and
keep him in sickness and in health;and. forsaking
all other, keep thee only unto him so lotog us ye
both shall live ?’ The Queen in accent* which,
though full of softness, were audible at the most
extreme corner of the chapel, replied, ‘ I will
and on so doing accompanied the expression with
a glance at his Royal Highness which convinced
all who beheld it that the heart was with her
words. When the Archhishopimpiired. ‘Who
giveth this woman to be married to this man ?”
the Duke of Sussex advanced, and, with evident
emotion, banded Her Majesty over to his Royal
Highneas, The usual forms wore then gone
through, and in a tone of voice and with a clear
ness of expression which wc have seldom wit
nessed on similar occasions in much humbler
walks of life. Her Majesty’s expression of the
words'love, cherish, and obey,’ ami the confiding
look with which they were accompanied, were
inimitably chaste and beautiful. The following
were the exact words said: “I, Albert, take thee,
Victoria, to my wedded wife, to have and to hold
from this day forward, for better for worse, for
richer, for poorer, in sickness ond in health, to
love and cherish, till death us do pint, according
to God'a holy ordinance; and thereto I plight
thee my troth.’ ‘I, Victoria, lake thee, Albert, to
my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from
this day forward, for heller for worse, for richer
for poorer, in sickness and in health,to love,cher
ish, and to obey, ti 1 death us do part, according
to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight my
troth.’ Prince Albeit then (.laced I lie ring on her
Majesty’s finger, repeating, ‘with the ring I thee
wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all
my wordly goods I thee endow; in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, amen.’ The remaining portions of the
ceremony were then impressively read by the
Archbishop of Canterbury; and the several mem
bers of the Royal Family who hail occupied pla
ces around the altar returned to lake their posi
tions in the procession. On passing her Majes
ty. they nil paid their congratulations, and the
Duke of Sussex, after shaking her by the hand in
a manner which appeared to have little ceremo
ny, hut with cordiality in it, affectionately kissed
her click. Alter all had passed, with the ex
ception of the Royal bride and bridegroom, her
Majesty stepped hastily across to the other sine of
the altar, whore the Queen Dowager was stand
ing. and kissed her. Prince Albert then look her
Majesty’s hand, and the Royal pair left the chap
el, all the spectators standing. V\ bile the pro
cession was proceeding down the aisle her Majes
ly spoke frequently to the Earl of Uxti-idgc, who
was on her right bund, apparently, giving direc
tions as to the order of the procession.
The doors weto now again opened, the signal
guns ceased to fire, and at a few minutes past one
the procession began to remarshal itself for its re
turn. The bridegroom's procession, which was,
however, roblied of his presence, returned first.
Again were the Duke and Hereditary Prince of
Saxe Coburg loudly cheered. The nupti ul pro
cession then returned in the same order as before.
On the appearance of her Majesty, hand-in-hand
with her Royal husband, the chipping of h inds
and waving of handkerchiefs was renewed, lime
after time, until they had parsed out of sight.
Whether by accident or design, Prince Albert
enclosed her Majesty’s hand in his own in such
• way as to display the wedding-ring, which ap
peared more soli.l than is usual in ordinary wed
dings. Her Majesty then proceeded to the
throne-roum, where the form of attestation took
place. Her Majesty and Prince Albert signed
the marriage register, which was attested by cer
tain members of the Royal Family and Lord
Melbourne, A splendid table had been prepared
tor the purpose. After the ceremony, a* twenty
five minutes past one, the first return reached
Buckingham Palace, and consisted of the inferior
officers of Prince Albert’s suite, the Queen's gen
tlemen ushers, and a lady of her Majesty’s house
hold. At twenty minutes to two the Duchess of
Kent returned; her Royal Highness was accom
panied by h r brother, the Duke of Saxe Coburg
and Gotha, and Prince Ernest. The Royal Du
chess was loudly cheered, which she acknowledg
ed most graciously. Viscount Melbourne and
Viscount Palmerston followed soon after in full
official costume, then came the Marquis of Nor
manby, dressed in the uniform of a colonial gov
ernor, and at ten minutes to two o'clock the Roy
al procession returned. The Prince rode in the
carriage with the Queen, which was attended by
the Duchess of S mlherland. His Royal High
ness assisted her Majesty to alight, and led her
into the Palace.—The Royal bride entered her
bull with an open and joyous countenance, (lush
ad perhaps in the slightest degree, and in the most
smiling and condescending manner acknowledg
ed the loud and cordial cheers which rang
through the apartment. The Royal bridegroom
handed her Majesty through the stale rooms.
The Duke of Sussex soon followed. The Duke
wasdressed in his uniform as Capt. General of
the Hon. Artillery Company, and wore the col
lars and other insignia of the orders of the Garter
Bath, and Bt. Andrew The Duke of Cambridge
arrived immediately after accompanied by the
Duchess, Prince George, and the two Princesses.
His Royal Highneas wore the insignia ol the or
ders of the Garter and the Bath, and carried his
baton as field marshal.—Prince George was
pressed in the uniform of his regiment, and was
decorated with the order of the Gartei. The c
Duke led iu the lit'lo Princess Mary. The invi, c
ted guests to the ihjtuntr followed each other in t
rapid succession. At the conclusion of the break- 5
fast, arrangements were made for the immediate I
departure of her .Majesty for Windsor, and at a (
quarter to lour the Royal parly left Buckingham '
palace amidst the cheers and festive acclamations |
of a vast multitude. The first carriage wasoccu ;
pied only by her Majes'y and Prince Albert; 'he
second by hisSeiene Highness Prince Ernest of)
Saxe Coburg, and three others by the Lord nr.d i
Lady in Wailing, the Groom of the Chamber,
Equerry, two Maids of honor, and other attend- I
ants of her Majesty and his Royal Highness. i
A grand banquet was given at St. James’s in
the evening.
In the evening the illuminations were general, i
and all the theatres were opened gratuitously by l
her Majesty’s command. Wc have not thought I
it worth while to trouble the reader with any de- I
tails as to the conduct of the immense assemblage
of people in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace I
and Ht. damn'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 i
say that the most unbounded enthusiasm was ev- I

Washixciton, March i)th. f
In the Senate, to-day, the resolution for the a
adjournment oflho two Houses, on the Ifilh f
day of May, was taken up and after some little
consideration, was laid over till Monday next. ~
There is little chance for an adjournment he- „
fore the fourth of July. '
Mr. Williams, of Maine, called up the sub:
jeet o the Maine boundary, and slated, that, in
Maine, the excitement was so great on this sub
ject ns to require some action on the part of the
government in relation to this subject. The (
message of the President, inclosing many docu- 1
ments, on the subject, was read ; and tho Sen- 11
ate at an early hour adjourned. The state of *
the matter has not altered. The alarm created,
in Maine, about the British force in occupation 1
of a part of the disputed territory, is shown by t
the letters of Mr. Fox, to he without any foun- r
dution. (
In the House, resolutions were culled for in t
the order of tho States. Mr. Arams offered a t
resolution for an inquiry by tho Judiciary, into t
the expediency of pensioning the bloodhounds, I
their widows and children, &e,; also into their i
I pedigree with a view to ascertain whether they i
were of the true blood, &e- Mr. Tuunk.t oh- i
jeeted to its reception, and Mr. Adams staled <
that he wished to apeak on the subject—so the i
resolution lies. i
Some western member offered a resolution in 1
favor of a National Bank. There is i.o party i
here in favor of a National Bank. The Whigs
disclaim it us much us the other party do. It is
now a settled matter, that H. M. Johnson is to
he the candidateof the Van Bi iikn party for the
Vico Presidency. Pennsylvania has settled that
matter. It is possible, however, that whatever
may become of the Presidency, the election of
tho Vice President may fail before the people.

The Galvestonian of the 17th says:—Wc are
indebted to a friend just uirived from the seal of
government. (Austin.) for several items of news.
Among other things we learn that Brunch T.
Archer is Secretary of M ar, and not I. W. Bur
ton —that Put. C. Jack is Attorney for this (Ist)
Judicial District, ami not the 3d district, ns re
ported before—that the Cherokee Land Bill was
passed by a constitutional majority after the veto
u| on it by the 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 onr next number.
In addition to the adopting the common law,
so far ns 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 to regulate tho opera
tion of this system, ami 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 ami dis
tribution of intestable estates. The act regula
ting the execution and probate of wills. Tho
proceedings of courts. An act on the subject of
conveyancing. Act of limitations. An act to
prevent frauds and fraudulent conveyances. An
art d spensing with notice of protest for non-ac
cepta..ce and non-payment of negotiable paper.
The revenue act. Law of executions. Act to
try the rights of property. 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
srrip. As an act lias been passed by Congress
granting to every Englishman who is a married
man, and introduces his family as citizens previ- j
ous to September Ist, 1840, 640 acres of land,
and to every silicic man who may emigrate from
that country to this, within that lime aa a citizen,
320 acres. This certainly shows a disposition on
the part of our government to atone for the mis
chief which one of its citizens perpetrated abroad,
where, in a legal point of view, no one was cul
pable hut the perpetrator himself. Clive us Texas
yet for justice.
The sclir Meteor, Capt. Kemp, from New
York, a new and first rale vessel, was accidentally
run aground a day or two since, near the Three .
Trees, about 15 miles below this city, on Galves

sel will bean entire loss.
The steam packet New York. Capt. Wright,
went to her assisnance on Saturday evening last,
and returned on Sunday about noon, and reports
that the vessel is not injured, and will probably
lie got off. T. to 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:
I am on my return from Mexico to the city of
Houston upon business relating to the Federal
army. From the Saltillo Gazette of an ult. dale,
I learned preparations were making in Mexico to
invade'Texas again. Fills la has been appointed
commander in chief of the invading army, and is
in advance of his division. He left the city of
Mexico on the 23d of last month with 1500 in
fantry. His reinforcements arc ordered from the
following places—Tampico, Saltillo, Monterey,
Arista’s division, Apomeu’s division, < ’analiso’s
division, troops from Santa Rosa on Chihuahua.
A mounting in all to 8.850, to he concentrated on
Rio Grande by Spring. I well know the fact,
they are now approaching that river in four grand
divisions, lietween them and Texas, arc the
Federal troops, amounting to about 2200 men,
but tor the want ol arms and ammunition, they
will be compelled to retreat towards the Nueces.

Melancholy Steamboat Disaster.
On Thu.s lay 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. 8. mail and passengers for
Chatahoochie. About 30 miles from the city,
opposite theThrec 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
s t ashore as the explosion took blace. He was
severely injured and died in about three horns.
Hcwusa valuable citizen, and leaves many friends
to lament bis loss. His family we believe are at
this time in Camden County, Ga. The princi
pal engineer w\s thrown into the water, and was
heard to call for assistance; but although the
most active steps were taken by the captain of
the boat, lie sunk before he could ho 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
forward; consequently t lie 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 Manana, who was on his return
home, was severely bruised. The Rev. Mr.
M’Elvy slightly.
An inquest was held over the bodies of the
deceased, and a thorough investigation was en
tered into, not only ns to the condition of the
boat 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.,
State of Mississippi.
An act passed the Legislature of Mississiei’i
(two or three weeks ago) entitled "An act requir
ing the several Banks of this Slate to pay specie,
and for other purposes.” The first section of the
bill, the most material one, is as fallows :
' lie if enacted, &. c. That from and after the
first day of April next all the banks and moneyed
corporations in this Slate shall be required to pay
specie on all their live dollar notes and 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
tober next, on all their twenty dollar notes; and
from and after the first day of January next, up
on all their fifty dollar notes; and ,rom and
alter the first day of January next, upon all their
notes, of whatever denomination, their bills,
checks, certificates of deposite, ami all other evi
dences of debt, on presentaion of the same at
their respecthe banking houses, whether said lia
bilities arc made payable at their respective bank
ing houses or not; and, upon failing to comply
with the foregoing provision llicii corporate pow
ers, privileges, and franchises shall herea.ter cease
be 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
of Representatives, of the points of which the
following concluding paragraphs area summary;
“ This act, therefore, as a system, is palpably
unconst tutional in its purposes, dangerous and
disorganizing in its tendencies, grossly uiijn-t in
its enactments, and revolutionary in its principles
and character.
“The Government under which wclive is dis
tinguished for being, in the strictest sense, a con
stitutional government. It is the political merit
of this ago and country that all men’s rights are
defined, guarded and protected by a solemn writ
ten declaration of their sanctity and inviolability.
These rights are secured to the weak and to the
poor, atainst unjust combinations of the strong,
whether in the halls of legislation or elsewhere,
and are made effectual by the separation of pow
ers ami the preservation of trial by jury. Until
this form of government he changed by the peo
ple in Convention, no power in the State, nor
any majority of the purple, can invade the con
stitutional rights of the weakest, or the meanest,
or the most obnoxious of its citizens. Constitu
tional government can allow no excuse, tolerate
no invasion of its limitations, without exposing
the whole system to utter and inevitable destruc
tion. Deeply impressed with these sentiments,
alarmed at the ruinous doctrines of the bill, and
trembling for the fate of a people amongst whom
such measures can find advocates, the under
signed respectfully but solemnly protest against
the measure, and desire to have it recorded that
they arc innocent of this work of usurpation.”

Supposed Conflagration at sea. —We un
der .land that the remains of a vessel, having ev
ery appearance of being burnt at sea, are strewed
along the coast from Mstanzas to Mosquito Inlets.

A Rvmoh.—A Pennsylvania paper gives a ru
mor, that a Committee from the Congressional
Delegation of dial State, lately called on Mr.
Van Burcn, 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
sylvania.” The* Committee’ is reported to have
; added, "unless Mr. Buchanan should be the
■ candidate, the Wtate would surely go for Harri
son..’
We give this rumor as we find it in a Penn
sylvania paper. Its extreme pob ibility may per
haps lie its only foundation. Every part of the
rumor is probable, indeed, except that which
would give the Stale 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 pul an end to it now
and forever. —Baltimore Patriot

“Our friend Greenouoii 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 CT.ay 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 hcauty lie is engaged upon for a lady in
New Haven. Greemmgh now deservedly ranks

of execution at least, equal if they do not surpass

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
Tctherly, of Charlestown, was indicted for stea
ling a horse, the property of Josiah Woodman,
o( Notingham. On being asked if he was guil
ty or not guilty, he said they might set him down
ns guilty, for ho 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. Ho thought some
about riding the horse Lack to his owner, but the
jade travelled so hard, that he would rather go to
State Piison ten years than ride him again a do
zen miles. The Court sentenced him to three
years.

Buren man in the “ Hoosier State,” and is ta
king him round as a show. A levy a sight, and

in the Turkish burying grounds, are all flat, and
contain liitlc hollows, which hold the water after

their thirst, and sing among the trees.

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Cotton— The unfavorable news by the Great
Western, of a decline in England of }to }d 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
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 54 to 8} as extremes of the market, and we
should not be surprised if a faithcr dec inc was
submitted to, when the market settles down.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
DR W. EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth— This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul- *
sions. As soon as the Syrup is ruobcd 011 the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it.
W lieu infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should he used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; fur
if a child wakes in the night fvith pain in the gums
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by openin-r the
pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only'at He. Wm
Evans’Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New
Vork, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
diseases of children.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir— Che
peat benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
-our Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
iainful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
ent how essential an early application of such an
ivaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
arture. My infant, when teething, experienced
inch acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
;onvulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the bahe from' anguish
till we procured a Lottie of your Syrnp ; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in
its use, I am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and 110 recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health,
I give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.
