We are authentically advised that the Princess Koval of England, now in the sixteenth vear of , »* betlirothed to Prince Frederick of •j 1 l u . s3la . a )' oun g gentleman some nine vears her , senior, and that they will be married probably in : the course of the current year. , It is only a few months since the intended bride groom visited England, where it would seem he wooed and found favor in the eyes of the Princess that day reported how he was conducted to the paiace by Prince Albert; how he was received in the most gracious manner by the Queen ; and how ! ““ was treated there for some days as a most fa vored guest. A general impression was created at ibe time that the vist was not an ordinary one of ceremony ; and the idea soon got hold of the pub li*- mind that Prince came as suitor to the Princess Koval, or rather as visitor to his betrothed wife. An outery was raised against the projected alli ance, the Queen was lectured about the mode of marrying her daughter, and the matter ended at that time by the departure of the Prince from Bal -111 oral. It is now apparent that the rov-al families ot England and Prussia merely deferred the exe cution ot their project until more pacific views be * ante ascendant; and the renewal of this subject at the present moment affords decided proof that in the opinion of both families, the accomplish ment of peace is certain, and the contemplated al liance may have exerted no inconsiderable infiu nce in securing (lie consent of England to the ad mission of representatives from the Court as Prus sia to the Paris Conferences. Prince Frederick William Nicholas Charles of Prussia was born on the Ist of October, 1831, and is consequently-in his gfith year. Ho holds the commission of Major, a !a suite, of the first regi- 1 ment of foot (Juards, and Chief and Colonel Pro p/ Ufuire of other Regiments in the Prussian set ;me. He is the eldest son and heir of Frederick William, Prince of Prussia, brother of the King, and heir to the throne. Consequently, if the pro jected marriage shall lake place, it may be antici pated th:it tiie time is not far distant when the throne of Prussia wiil be occupied by a Princess of England. Tite young lady whose hand is about to bt made the pledge of renewed amity tvith Prussia. “ Her Royal Highness Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa, Princess Royal of England," was born at Buckingham Palace, on the “Ist of November, 18 to, and was baptised on the 16th of February following. She was to be confirmed at Windsor ( ,’astle on Thursday, the “"th ult., and ai a prelimi- : nary to her marriage, which is likely to follow in cotm-ment order tiie proclamation of peace, and swell the popular rejoicings which may be expect ed to succeed that event. - AVt." Yori Pn*t. Col. John W. Forney. Tite following complimentary notice from the Baltimore Sun, of the .'tit inst., expresses, in such just terms, our owu ideas of tite late Clerk of the National House of Representatives, that we copy the article entire. It is a well merited tribute to the worth of ail able and popular public officer. \\ e copy it, not because it is necessary to say a word in his praise, to the thousands who know and delight to honor him itt this, his own native Slate ; but to make more manifest the fact tluit i die independent press from other States entertain the same opinion of his ability and many noble virtues : Pent.tc Officers. W hil.i we have too often had occasion to record tiie defalcation, malfeasance and 1 gligenee of public officers, and to comment tip on the same with deserved severity, it is highly gratifying to meet tvith a marked and significant instance of the strictest integrity, sustained bv cure, diligence and promptitude iti large fiduciary : < trust. A paragraph in the Sun of Monday morn- t ing, copied from the Washington Star, is' the in- t - tance in point which engaged our attention. It I ■- loirs to Col. Forney, late clerk of the House of Representatives, of whom it is said, that on the Ist inst., within an hour after receiving an inform- | t al report of adjustment from the office of the Firs* Comptroller, he finally closed his accounts bv sint ply transferring to the United States, the balance * standing to his credit on the books of the Treastt- I ry, there being nut '.me. rent of clijfevenee between ; t itis statement as rendered and that of tite Depart ment, though his disbursements covered transac tions running through four years of official service, 1 * and embraced the expenditure of over two millions | of dollars. „ Col. Forney is generally known as a politician, and has been a prominent mark for the arrows ot party warfare. Indeed, he seems to have had not * only his own share, but that of half a dozen of his cotcniporaries. What lie may have deserved of all I tlii-. w.* cannot tell, for we concern ourselves very ; little about mere partisan sttife. But when we sec a mail who lias filled a highly-responsible financial v office, rendering up his accounts with accuracy w and an exhibition of strict fidelity, and retiring s gracefully from his position with the respect which p itch a career of duty exacts :from all parties, we cheerfully recognize in such an event an example worthy ot' note, and entitled to the consideration especially of youth, whether in public or private I : life. ' ~ How many tiiere are at this day, who, having fallen under tite force of temptation, having fully contrasted with their condition that of a man re- t 1' tiring from official position so honorably as Mr. ; d Forney does. How freely would they take upon t( themselves ten fold the measure of partisan abuse tfi which Mi. I-'orney. has been exposed, could they e -xchauge with him the sound and dignified repu tation he bears with him from the sphere of office, for tiie shattered ruin which the love of lucre Ims unhappily .-mailed upon them. There is a useful t losun in this iucidetual notice of Mr. Forney. It p presents to the mind the impotency of party abuse, when it is encountered by stern and inflexible in 8 tegritv. N “«•- - t Di’sltuctive Fir** 111 Philadelphia (turn- p tag of the Artisan JJmtdnm. PuiLAtiELPiiiA, April 11. About midnight last L night a tire broke out in the upper part of the Ar- T tisan building, a vast establishment, five stories in height, forming a hollow square in the rear ot Uhestiiut and Fourth streets, occupied by various branches of manufacture, which, together with ( nearly all tin- contents, was entirely destroyed. , t Every part of the building was tenanted by work shops, with valuable machinery driven by an eighty horse power engine in the basement.

The total loss is not vet estimated, but it must prove vet: heavy. The fire was so rapid that scarcely anything was iuvcd except from the lower floors. The rear of the United States Hotel, on Cliesnut street, adjoined the building, and its destruction seemed inevitable. Tiie boarders took alarm and fled for safety, but tiie damage to the building from fire vvas very slight. It was, however, flood ed with water. Robert Pile and M.

Sagacity. One of the most aston ishing instances of the sagacity of the dog trans pired this morning, which ever came to our kuotvl edi'e. The Messrs. Staude. Tobacconists, No. 35 ! Congress street, closed their store last evening, leavum their favorite Newfoundland dog inside. This morning on opening the store, the floor in the , back room was found to be on tire, and the dog a as laboring with his forefeet and mouth trying to subdue it. A pail of water which stood in the room had been poured down the hole. The faith fill animal licul so successfully combatted the lire us to prevent its spreading be vend a spot two or three feet square. How long the noble fellow had stood sentinel and fought down the advancing flames can only be conjectured —it must ha\ e been several hours. His feet, legs and mouth were badlv burned, and it is feared that he is seriously injured internally by inhaling the hot air. He re fuses food, and is apparently in much pain. We trust the sagacious and faithful creature is not dan gerously injured. This is the same dog which dis c ivered the man Lallv on the ice a few weeks » nee. lie is worth his weight in gold, and may i safely be pronounced the noblest of his race.

For the better qualities there is a lair demand at last weeks’ prices. Richardson, Spun* a A Co. report the market very dull for the lower grades, and although the better qualities are freely offered, the quotations were not lower than those reported on Saturday the -3d, by the steamer of that date.

The deliberations in the Conference at Paris, on the 27th, were said to have been of a very im portant character, and it was confidently believed that the treaty of peace had been signed. On the ' 24th it was announced by the Emperor N apoleon that he expected the final settlement to be com pleted sooner than the 27th, ntid he had ordered suitable demonstrations for tite occasion. I There was a grand le Deurn ordered to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Algiers, Prussia's claims were earnestly resisted by Lord Clarendon, which caused considerable de lay. The views of Clarendon, however, pre vailed, and his policy so arranged that the Allies' were to sign one Protocol, and a second Protocol 1 should be drawn up and signed by the Allies and Prussia jointly. The London Times dislikes the demonstrations in favor of peace, and intimates that the people of England «ill be discontented with the terms ar ranged at Paris. The armistice between the contending powers , j has not been positively prolonged, but telegraph despatches have been forwarded to the Crimea not t to renew hostilities without express orders to that effect.

Yesterdao this motion to print was d.■■ . baled in the most animated discussion of ihe ses sion.., the course of the debate, it became so manifest that the paper was a forgery, embracing so gross a fraud, that the vote to commit if was re considered by a vote of thirty veas to three nays s political event unprecedented in the history'of the legislation of either branch of ihe Congress of the United States. So indignant were the Senate that instead of either laying it on the table. ,»r “chucking” it under the table, it was determined to return it to the person who handed it to (ten Cass for presentation to the Senate. Or, in other I words, to kick it out of their chamber. Washington Star, A aril 11. Religion among the Chinese.—Religion would appear to he at a tow ebb among the Chinese.

FARRELL S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT j IS well known to possess the most wonderfully | healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, 1 and by its promptness in effecting cures,Which previously had resisted ail other medicines, ad j ministered to the most scientific physicians, has placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in j traduced to the people of the United States. It ! - titnulaii'S the absorbents to increased action, and ! thus enables nature to throw off disease —it pent- 1 trotes to ihe h -ms, adding strength and activity to ; the muscles -it is powerfully anodyne and thereby j aHay* n< rears pimiaiion, producin'.r a ddigh{fidtp j , s, ' satum to, .too. th ' irl.fi' frant. Owing ' to its remarkable anticeptic properties, il purifies | and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which rend"ts old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; ! it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy i cure. This Liniment from its penetrating’ anil m-cngthenuig qualities has been found to be a spe --ilie* tor Paralysis *r Pals/-, Whitesweilings and diseased joints, and in fact all complaints iuvol \ ing the muscular system, it has cured eases of : Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years' standing, ■ and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that tin patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been 1 cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing j but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally : without use or feeling. For Children with Crovp j it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over tlie throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest | it never fails to give relief in the severe Couyhs at- ; l* 'liny Con.tuinyti■ n. Asthma. 11ml Colds. It heals wounds speedily—will ern e Scaldhead, Mange, etc. Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses mid Cattle for Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, HI HI Joints, Sweeney, Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. Lookout for Counterfeits! The public arc cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called \Y. li.
