A Wedding at Sea.— A. Paris eorespon-i dent of the New-Englatid Review, gives the following sketch of an iuiereatiug scene which occurred on board the ship in wliicu he sailed Irma this country; A novel sircumstauce took place while on our passage, which 1 must relate. There was a Mr. H., on board who was formerly a merchant in Massachusetts, since in Con necticiit. and late of New dork, lie was a kin-1, open-hearted fellow, full of lull, and withal vary intelligent as well as handsome, ills aje about twenty-seven. He cam -on hoard an euiiie stronger to us all, lint ;*s we made it a point to h «ve but orte family on boar), a.id as soon discovered his amiable qualities ue was very soon made a welcome member. O.imir sixth day out, he came to m ; and ciry** , «4 th-. »»*»e mid circumstan ces of an eidetly gentleman passenger who wa- accompanied by liis daughter, with whom .Mr. 11. seemed deeply smitten. For 1 mv own part I could see nothing exceeding Iv attractive about Miss J., save that she was very agreeable in her manners ami high ly intelligent. 1 informed him, and at his request, gave him a formal introduction which terminated in tlie following man ner. Soon aftPr tlip introduction it bpcarnc evident that a mutual liking and affection existed between Alr. 11. and .Miss .1., «ho, from the open expressions of loudness, began to .attract the attention of all and the admi ration of many of the passengers. Toey were fre ineutlv observed in their close con versations and ag in •of whist was scarcely ev»*r play .‘din whic.n they were not partners. On the second S inday of our passage, we solicited the Rev. Mr. G. who was on ids wav to Italy,'© preach a sermon.—By the politeness of Captain X. a large awning was spre 'd above m, seats were prepared, and acting egation of seventy-six persons, inchidi it the steerage passengers and sadors, was collected to participate in i!ie religions exercises. A s nail dirsk was formed into a pulpit, and a choir was formed bv “going into a committee oftliewln.de." The text was read and the sermon delivered, of which I need not speak. At tlie-couclusiou of the jermtm, our minister rose and read the following card which lay on Ids desk. “Wm. Bk.ntlkv 11 .Ksq’r. of .Xcn- York, intends marriage with .Miss 'Maria We were more surprised at the novelty of the thing than at the lac' itself, and, indeed, such was the feeling created by ihe sud den and unexpected announcement niade, that we all forgot I'm serious impressions made on our minds by the minister, in our' hearty and vociferous congratulations ot the happy pair. But it did nut end here. A proposition was made to the parties to have the ali'air consummated that evening, which was cheerfully acceded to by them lo the great pleasure of all on board. Accor ditigly tlfings were arranged to order, the best state room was to be given up to them, and every one felt gay and happy as the hour approached which should witness the consummation «,f their nuptial vmvs. The evening was rahn and delightful; not a sail fluttered in the breeze; not a voice was heard; not the I -ast stir or hustle about the deck; and the moon Inol ed down in loveli ness on that tranquil scene. As at noon, every soul on board gathered to the tem ple, which had been erected for religions worship, and in less than fifteen minutes the marriage ceremony was performed by om worthy minister, who made a lew remarks and closed with prayer. 1 he scene was truly as sublime as romat!- tic. The fair bride came out dressed in a robe of pure white satin, leaning on the arrn of her lover, bound to the alter, and heard her imrri iagp.vew -pror.oamced w here only an hour or two before she had uttered her vows to God. Many a tear of joy stole down the cheeks of those who looked on, anil not a rare cast I lie shadow of its wing across that scene ol triumphant love ami bliss.

By loud declamation and vociferous denunciation against ihe connection ot “Bank and State,” as they put it, Mr. Van Buren has succeeded even in gaining over to his support, some of the friends of Mr. Calhoun—whose favorite sclmnie at present is this disconnection. Not only has I e *:< - eerved Mr. Calhoun, in riiis matter, but ro perfectly impressed is almost the whole pat ty that this is got up as the distinguished measure of Mr. Van Buren. on which he trusts to make his rally, that from almost (V*-ry mouth Democratic, we hear the cry, ‘•Deliverance and Rilu-rly—the great meas ure of severance of the -Government from all connection with Batiks; and hurra for the yellow hoys !’’ Well, having led liis followers on to tins decisive stand, where do we find Mr. Van Buren, at the last accounts ? In Ids last me sage to Congress, Mr. Van Buren says, ‘When 1 lie Govi rnmeiit can ace* mplislt a financial 01 elation bitter with the aid < ftlm Banks than without, it should be at liber* v to seek that aid.”. It should indeed! anil call you this total disconnection with tlie Banks, the great measure of deliverance and liberty ?

It follows, that the interest of the banking in stitutions here, arc the same as those of ilie three classes first mentioned, namely, that tho price should he natural, that it may be steady, nud of easy realization. 5.
