On naming this : r ’[instance to me,” said Lord Stourton, “she • •wrved that she did not wish to be another duchess of Kendal.” 1 ■" ■ tiort made by the Prince to persuade Mrs. i-bevi that he was not a partv to Mr. Fox’s •K-itial of the inarrige between them, is curiously ‘■'•tated by the following anecdote, which 1 have •t. the authority of Mr. Brodenham, the brother ■ - . ~f Lord Stottrlon: Mrs. Fitzherbert was ■-it with the Hon. Mrs. Butler, her friend '• relative, and at whose house the Prince fre ady met Mi - Fitzherbef. The Prince called ”‘ e ruoniing after the denial of the marriage in the House of Commons by Mr. Fox. He went up I , to ” rs ' Fiiherbert, and taking hold both her hands and caressing her, said, ‘Only conceive ! what lox (I >d yesterday. He went down to nan ams fdf that yOU Hnd 1 w ert " not man and wife! Did vou ever hear of such a I thing. Mrs. Fitzherbert made no reply but changed countenance and turned pale ” 1 ' i The pecuniary difficulties of the Prince produced ; the first coolness between the married pair • but the me amantrum” seems to have had the ordina ry result. ‘ We must look to the present and the future, and not think of the past,” was the com ,n®“t °f ‘he reconciled lover to his wife. 1 he final cause of separation, strangelv enough arose out ot the exercise of a good principle. Mrs! h iTzhei bert had under her care the daughter of an old and absent tr.end, Lady Horatio Seymour. Os this child the Prince was as fond as Mrs. Fitzher bert herself; and when a relative of the little ward endeavored to withdraw her from the guardianship "i the last named lady, the Prince earnestly ap pealed to Lord Hertford, us bead of the family to which Miss Seymour belonged, to interfere in Mrs. Fitzherbert s favor. While thus engaged, His Loyal Highness became intimately acquainted wi‘ i the Marchioness of Hertford, and from that tinny the influence of Mrs. Fitzherbert declined. i no health of the latter lady was seriously affect ed by the severe trials to which her rival exposed her. 1 j After the death of Queen Caroline, the King an nounced to Mrs. Fitzherbert bis intention to marry again—an announcement to which she simplv re plied with a “very well, sir.” Tiie Duke of York "ho was always the warm friend of Mrs. Fitzher bert, in alluding to the possible political conse quences of her union with the Prince, remarked : " Thank God, he could never wish to raise anv claim in contravention ot the rights of his broth er." In conjunction with Queen Charlotte, the : Duke obtained for her £6.000 a year, “ in a mort gage deed, which they procured for her, on the j Palace of Brighton." King George and his Con sort treated her with marked respect, and her in fluence was >o great over the former, that when be was not mi speaking terms with the Prince, she obtained from him a promise to treat his son with kindness; and the Prince “returned from Court in the highest of spirits, unaware of the person to j whom he was indebted!” The Prince himself showed in what degree he esteemed her judgment by sending for her to Brighton, after their separa i tion, to consult her upon the expediency of break- ■ ; ing with his old political friends. She gave him excellent advice—to act honestly; he, of course i did exactly the reverse. At the time, too, when des pite his aft’ection for children, he treated his own 1 daughter with extraordinary harshness, the Prin cess Charlotte flung herself on the neck of Mrs. Fitzherbert, and implored her to beseech her father to treat her with more kindness. The lady weep ‘tigly performed the mission assigned her, and told the Prince what evil results might follow if lie did not bestow on his daughter the marks of affee tion which she so well deserved. “That is yom opinion, madam,” was iiis oulv reply. Home regard for the deceived lady, however, evidently clung by Prince Florizel long after he had become King, and when no particle of ro- I mance remained. On his death bed, Maria Fitz iierhert addressed to him seme touching lines, as from a wife offering her services to a sick husband, which he did not peruse without emotion, and he L said to have attached great value to a portrait of tier, taken when she had first attracted his variable fancy. With this portrait around his neck he is believed to have been entombed. Such was the belief, the probably pleasant belief, of Mrs. Fitz herbert herself, and it is in some degree confirmed by Dr Carr, Bishop of Worcester, who, on being questioned on the subject by Mr. Bodenham, re plied, “ Yes, it is very true what vou have heard. I remained by the bodv of the Rang when thev wrapped it round in tbe cerecloth; but before tlmt was done, I saw a portrait suspended round his , ue; k —it was attached to a little silver chain.” William the Fourth readily granted an interview, for which Mrs. Fitzherbert applied after the death of her late husband, the King. At this interview, Hi* Majesty perused all the documents submitted to him by the lady, lie “was moved to tears by the perusal, and expressed his surprise at so much forbearance, with such documents in her posses sion, and under the pressure of such long and se vere trials.” The King ottered to make her some i amends, by creating her Duchess, but “she replied that she did not wish for any rank; that she had , borne through life the name of Fitzherbert; that she had never disgraced it, and did not wish to ; i change it.” The King, thereupon, authorized her to assume the royal livery, and to wear the widow’s ’ i weeds for his predecessor. On another occasion, he ■ invited her to llie Pavilion, where he “handed her out of her carriage, and introduced her to his family, one after another, as one of themselves.” It is a matter of regret that Mrs. Fitzherbert destroyed her correspondence with the Duke of York. After the Duke’s death, Sir Herbert Tay- ] lor gave up to her her own letters. She expressed < her delight at recovering them, as “she had been 1 almost afraid that they would have tcot those pa- . per* from him.” “ Not all the kings on earth 1 should have obtained them, ’ was the reply of Sir i Herbert. The extent of the correspondence may be judged ofby the fact that Mrs. Fitzherbert “was i for two years employed in the perusal and burning of these letters.” So much the worse, as far as ■ the holocaust is concerned, .for she says, after i avowing that had she been mercenary, “she i might have obtained any price she had choose to ask for the correspondence,” she adds that “she could have given the best private and public histo ry ot all the transactions of the country, from the dose of the American War down to the death of j the Duke of York, either from her communications . with the Duke, or her own connections with the opposite party, through the Prince and his , friends.” , The last years of this lady, who is destined to | hold a place both in Romance and History, were past almost entirely at Brighton. There she died, in March. I s.'lT, and over her remains a monument ha* been erected by Mrs. Lionel Dawson Darner, . the Miss S'-v inour whoinnocently caused Mrs. Fitzherbert to make way for a very different per- ; * unage the Marchioness of Hertford. The monu- , incut is simply raised to the memory of “ Maria . Fitzherbert,” by “one to whom she was more than a parent.” The only allusion to her equivocal greatness is made under a symbol. “ The hand of the figure had .sic. the singular addition of three rings on the lingers, thus bearing the evidence of the affectionate lady who erected it to the triple ' marriage of her departed friend. ■ From the Atlanta Intelligencer. \ Kansas. We bad the pleasure on yesterday of conversing , with a Mr. Liinmerick, a gentleman from Missouri, in truth, a real “border ruffian”—who gives a glowing account of the prospects of the South iu R;iu*u*: We are assured that, for some time past, southern emigration lias far exceeded that of the North, and if the vote of the Territory was taken at tilt* time, the pr -slavery party would be largely in the majority. The fate of Kausas rests now in the hands of the South; she has hut to continue the efforts so well commenced to secure this great Territory to her interests. We are happy also to learn, that among the . migrants from the South are a fair number of slaves. This looks like going to work in earnest. The number of slaves now in the Ter ritory are between two and three thousand. The same gentleman gave us a description of the country—its mineral and agricultural wealth, showing-conclusively its adaptability to slave la bor, or lather the übsolute necessity of slave la bor, for the proper development of its resources. Hemp, the most important product of the country, like cotton, lias never been cultivated to any great extent by white labor. For this reason, Kentucky aud Missouri have hitherto enjoyed almost a mou- | only of this product—lndiana and Illinois pro- j dueing but comparatively little of it. Kansas now . offers the greatest field for the hemp culture on ; the globe./ One hand, it is said, will make five j tons of hemp per annum, which, at the present prices, is worth and this, too, may be done without materially interfering with the other > crops. An objection often urged by Southerners ; •.•Minst emigrating Jo Kansas, is the inconvenience arising from the want of timber on the prairies. A resident of Kansas finds but little difficulty on this score. Just far enough beneath the soil so as not to interfere with its cultivation,are to be found , an inexhaustible supply of limestone rock, excent lv adapted to fencing, while the coal beds to be j found in every part of the country afford the best of fuel. From all that we have read and heard, we are fully convinced that Kansas opens the best field* for emigrati. u ever known to the world —Califor n i ;l , u ith all her mineral wealth, not at all com paring with her. The question now is, are the people -.f 1 lie South to have ft place m this great, j bind? . ! la conn* ’tion with Ulissubjeet, we notice that a Free State Convention was held in Boston, on the ftliinst.. at which Governor Robinson, of Law rence ti -orietv, was present, who expressed very deeidedlv the opinion that the safety of Kansas as a Free State d qiend* upon defeating Mr. Douglas' bill for a new Constitutional Convention. As the passage of the bill will bring to a practical test the relative strength of the two parties, Governor Robinson has clearly shown that he is unwilling to risk the decision of the ballot box, the only way in which the South wishes to extend her institu tion*, anil the way in which she must succeed, if she but exerts herself in Kansas.

A friend tells us an anecdote of Booth, the great ! tragedian, which we do not recollect having seen ; > n print. It occurred in the palmy days of his fame, before tlie sparkle of liis great mind had been dimmed bv that bane of genius—strong ! drink. Booth and several friends hail been invited to : dine with an old gentleman in Baltimore, of dis ; tinguished kindness, urbanity and piety. The host, though disapproving of theatres and thea ; tre-going, had heard so much of Booth’s remark able powers, that curiosity to see the man had, in this instance, overcome all his scruples and pre ! judice.*. After the entertainment was over, lamps lighted, and the company re-seated, in the draw ing room, some one requested Booth, as a particular | favor, and one, which all present would doubtless appreciate, to read alond the Lord’s Prayer. Booth expressed his willingness to afford them this grat ification, and all eves were expectantly upon him Booth rose slowly and reverently from his chair It was wonderful to watch the play of emotions ' that convulsed his countenance." He became ! deathly pale, and bis eyes turned tremblingly up- ! ward, were wet with tears. As yet he had not spo ken. The. silence could be felt.' It became abso- j lutely painful, until at last the spell was broken, as ' if by an electric shock, as his rich-toned voice i from white lips, syllabled forth—“ Our Father, who ! art in Heaven,” etc., with a pathos and solemnity ! that thrilled all hearers. He finished. The silence continued. Not a voice was heard or a muscle moved in his wrapt i audience, until, from a remote corner of the room j a subdued sob was heard, and the old gentleman, their host, stepped forward with streaming eyes’ and tottering frame, and seized Booth by the ! hand. “Sir,” said he, in broken accents, “you have ! afforded me a pleasure for which my whole future i life will feel grateful. lam an old man, and even day, from my boyhood to the present time, 1 thought i had repealed the Lord’s Prayer, but 1 have never heard it before —never.’ 1 “ You are right,” replied Booth; “to read that Prayer as it should be read, has cost me the se* 1 verest study and labor for thirty years, and I am far from being yet satisfied with mv rendering of that wonderful production. Hardly one person in ten thousand comprehends how much beauty, ten- ; dernessand grandeur can be condensed in a' space j so small, ana in words so simple. That Prayer, of j itself, sufficiently illustrates the truth of the'BibL, and stamps upon the seal of divinity.” So great was the effect produced,' (says our in formant, who was present,) the conversation was sustained but a short time longer, iu subdued mo nosyllables, and almost entirely ceased ; and soon after, at an early hour, the company broke, up, and • retired to their several homes, with *:id faces and full heart*. -Chicago Trilnne.

In 1791, Dr. Richard Price, a famous mathemati cal, moral and religious author, died. in 1812, the President issued a proclamation of war against England on account of the impress ment of our seamen, empty blockade of ports with j countries with which England was at war, and the !

Georgia .Military Institute. The last Legislature appropriated $15,000 to the j Institute at Marietta. It is bused upon the sys- ! tern at West Point, which endeavors to properly ; develope the Fhyxtuur, at the same time, with the growth of the mind. The appropriation was to be expended under the direction of the Board of Visitors, appointed by the Governor ; and in obe dience to his summons, there assembled at the : Institute on Wednesday, the 9th inst, the follow ing of the Board : Col. W. S. Rockwell, Col. John Milledge, Gen. I Geo. R. Jessup, Capt. B. F. Boss, Capt. J. P. Si re- i ven, Col. A. A. Franklin Ilill, Capt. Tin s. Harde man. The law required the debt • and liabilities to be paid first, which was done, amountihg to near $7500. The balance is to be expended in enlarg- j ing, after a castellated style of architecture, the | main building, so that the school will be able to j accommodate one hundred and fifty students, j with suitable rooms for lectures and recitations. The Board were much pleased with the exercises, drill and management, for Col. Brumby, the Su perintendent, and Capt. Connel, the Command ant of Cadets, are both graduates of West Point. The trip was really a pleasant one, receiving every attention from the officers and citizens, and the , annual examination, being on the sth of July, promises to be a most agreeable occasion, and we hope to have a visit of ilie Cadets during their < n campment, to the Athens Commencement. The ; Institute is situated upon a high commanding hill, j in itself “a high feeling," att'ording one of the most picturesque views in Georgia, with the Apa lachian Mountains, seen in the far distance.

They had ; a time of it in the city, but for fear they would get ; dry before getting home, thev procured a jug of whisky, and after dark, of a black night, too, they : embarked in a boat, expecting to reach home in I the morning. They rowed away with all the eu- j J ergy that three half-tipsey fellows could muster, ; keeping up their spirits in the darkness by pottr i ing the spirits down. At break of day they j thought they must be near home, and seeing ; through the dim gray of the morning a- house on j the river side, Stone said : “ Well, Barham, we’ve got to your place at last ’ “If this is my house, ” said Barham, “somebody , has been putting up a lot of outhouses since I went away yesterday; but I’ll go ashore and look about, and see where we are, if you’ll heave to. ; Barham disembarks, takes observation, and : • soon comes stumbling along back, and says— " Well, I’ll be whipped it we ain’t at Wilming j ton here yet—aud what’s more, the boat has been ; hitched to the wharf all night!” It was a fact, and the drunken dogs had been rowing away for dec life, without knowing it. *]i7ANTED —I,OOO Laud Warrants.

The entire lot of Rio offered, about 4,0#0 bags, was sold at 11 to 12J£ cents, winch figures arc considered full. An old joker, who was never known to vield the ! palm to any antagonist in reeling a knotty yarn ; was put to his trumps at hearing a traveller state, j that he once saw a brick house placed upon run ners, and drawn up a hill to a more faorable 10-j cation, some half a mile distant. “ What do you think of thqt,'Uncle Ithiel?” said the bystanders. “ Oh fudge,” said the old man, “ I once saw a two -j story stone house down east drawn by oxen, three | miles;” —a dead silence ensued, the old man evi dently had the worst end of it, and he saw it ; gathering all his energies, he bit off a huge piece I of pig-tail, byway gaining time for thought; they ; druwed the stone house, said the old man, (eject- : ing a quantity of tobaco juice towards the “fire- ! placet hut that warn’t the worst of the job, arter ! theyM done that they went back and draw'd tlie cellar.

CHARLESTON, April 17.— Cotton.— The receipts of the week reach 9,808 bales, and the sales 14,379 bales. We quote ordinary to good ordinary 10; low to strict middling 1034(3; 10% ; good mid dling 10%@U ; middling fair and fair 1 1}4 cents. Rice. —Prices have ranged from 3y< to #4 fj 1 <*o, as in quality, but the bulk of the sales were made within the range of B 100. Corn. —Some 6,000 bushels North Carolina have been received, 3,000 of which were sold to dealers for milling purposes, at a price which, if reported, would give no criterion of the market. The other parcel was taken at 62 cents f) bushel. Peas. —The arrivals this week embrace 2000 bushels from North Carolina in bulk, and some ‘ 450 bushels, in bags, were received by railroad. ! The former was of common quality, and changed ! hands at 85c. The latter has been selling, bags j included, at prices ranging from 85<@,-93c. $ bush el. The quality and condition of the package of j course has a good deal to do with the price. Baeon. —-We notice the arrival this week of some 300 packages, by the way of New Orleans, | nearly the whole of which has changed hands, j part prior to arrival. The transactions from time to time have shown an irregular market, which, however, as the week drew to a close, settled ; down at about for Sides, 9@9#c. for ; Shoulders, and from ld@lsc. for Hams, accord- j ing to quality. Tennessee meat has been selling , in small lots at 10% (a : 11c. lor Sides, 9@&%e. for, i Shoulders, and from 11 to 18 for liams. Sugars. —The advanced state of the season, which has checked the demand, so far as our jobbing j : houses are concerned, taken m connection with the j j comparatively heavy receipts, have depressed the j market. We have no transactions to report, and | in the present state of the market, prices must be , I considered nominal. The receipts of the week com- I prise 474 hluls., 34 tierces, and 123 bbls,, of which i i the foregoing cargoes constitute a part. Some SO i hhds. Louisiana have also come to hand, none of t which has been sold. Coffee. —Several parcels Rio, received coastwise, j have been sold at prices ranging from 12(7?;12;.£e., and 100 bags Porto Rico brought which I were subsequently sold out in lots at 13j,-7c. Molasses —The ’receipts of the week of Cuba de scription comprise 592 hhds., 167 tierees, and 53 barrels. This heavy accession to the stock has de pressed the market, and prices have declined. A portion of the above receipts has been sold at 30 and 29 cents $ gallon, the market closing dull at the latter price. Some 80 bbls. New Orleans had come to hand, which had not been sold when we closed our report. The stock of this description is comparatively light, and prices are consequently looking up. We note sales from store of upwards of 400 barrels, which were sold at prices ranging ! from 44 to 45 cents, principally, however, at the i former price. Freights. —The present week opened at 7-16ths. j and 13-S2ds. for Cotton in square bags to Liver- f pool, in bottoms; the rates, however, j subsequently declined to 11-32d5., at which the market closed.

FARRELL S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT IS well known to possess the most wonderfully healing, penetrating and stimulating propertio ; and by its promptness in effecting cures, which j previously had resisted all other medicines, a t i ministered by the most scientific physicians, h i s placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in troduced to the people of the United States R ! stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and thus enables nature to throw off disease —it pene trates to the bones, adding strength and activity to the muscles- it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allays nervous in-Unlh .... ii-Pfidh; phasing sensation through t whole /'ram- . Owing to its remarkable anticeptic properties, ii purifies and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive prineiph which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy cure. This Liniment from its penetrating and strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe cific for Paralysis or Palsy, \S hilt-swellings and diseased joints, and in fact all complaints invol ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing, and affections of the Spine wherein the entire re nal column was so crooked and distorted, that th. patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been cured when the tlesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally without use or feeling. For Children with Coo it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest it never fails to give relief in the severe Corahs ... tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds, if heals wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, ole. Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle fi r Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Slit! Joints, Sweetie\. Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. Lookout for Counterfils! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most da.; genius of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in goon faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discofer their error when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured only bv 11. G.
