ile and a half in length. .We have not room for a detailed count of the line. After marching through the principal 8 , ! e ts they halted at the Hall, where the Dedication took place* THE EVENING FETE. Notwithstanding a smart shower of rain, with a promise of *et night, there was a great gathering at Castle Garden of { *| lo “ beauty and the chivalry ”of the Order—those from a distance who had not left in the night boats were there in full force. . , , . . - The proceedings opened with music, and the singing ot an Ode written by Miss E. C. Hurley; after which an Oration delivered by C. Edwards Lester, of Atlantic Lodge, No- 26. and iu* Band then relieved the time for a few moments by )im* choice selection of music, when an Ode was sung as the conclusion previous to the Ball. the Ode a short intermission and the clearing of the )r occu pied a quarter of an hour, and then the vast am -1 tl *ater wns dotted overwith setts of Terpsichore’s votaries, f r whose special gratification a choice programme of dances Ii t n . eU arranged. While this was being fulfilled, hundreds o” gratified loiterers were enjoying the invigorating breeze and nchanting sights of our Bay, whose surface was dotted here and there with vessels, each lying beneath the spell of moon li ht “ as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.” At the culmination of the crowd there were from three to four thousand in the Castle. Thus ended, without an accident to mar the enjoyment of the participants, one of the finest of pageants ever got up in this city—one which will long live in the memory of the Order, and will not soon be forgotten by the public. REV. DABNEY P. JONES. We find the following notice in the Marietta Helicon with the request to copy. We hope it will meet attention from the Order generally, for a more worthy laborer never received hire: We are vequjsted to call the attention ot the numerous Temperance Associations iu thus State, through your columns, to the following resolution of the State Temperance Conven tion in Atlanta, July Last, viz : “That the salary of Rev. Dabney I*. Jones, (State Tem p-ranee Lecturer) for the ensuing year, be six hundred dol lars; and that the Societies now in this Convention, and all the Societies who may wish to aid in the good cause, see that collections are made in their respective Associations sot ttm cmrpose, and forward the amounts to the Treasurerof the i?tute Temperance Society None will doubt for a moment that Brother Jones has been a faithful servant of the cause. He has labored unremittingly for its advancement and his zeal and efficient services certain ly deserve not only the above slight pecuniary compensation, but the universal and lasting gratitude of the whole State. No doubt every Societ3 r in the State will cheerfully contribute its proportion. We trust, therefore, that noue will forget to send up to the approaching State Convention, either by their delegates or by letter, a liberal contribution. COMMITTEE. W Our attention has been called, by a friend, to an excel lent article on the prevention and cure of Cholera, by Dr. \Vm. S. Ridgely of Cincinnati, with a request to publish it, which request we shall comply with in our next. IT* Anew Car, capable of nccomtnod ating fifty passengers, culled the Cherokee, has been put upon the Central Rail Road. It is both elegant and comfortable. WRONG END FOREMOST. An eccentric preacher in North Carolina some years ago, returned to his residence after an absence, during which* some beans his wife had planted, came up. Seeing the husk of the beans on the top of the young shoots, he deliberately turned them down into the ground, and told his wife she had made a blunder in planting them, for they were growing wrong end foremost. FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS. “ We can sppeal to Clergymen of the Church of England,” *nys “an address of a Clergyman to his brother Clergymen,” published by the Church of England Total Abstinence Society, “ who have made extensive inquiries of their brother clergy men, as to the number of persons who have been reclaimed from drunkenness under their ministry, and it is confidently asserted as the result of that inquiry, that not one clergyman in twenty alter all their years of labor in the pulpit and in the parish, can point to a single instance of a person in ordinary health being relaimed from this particular sin. And yet the Total Abstinence Society can point to thousand of instances in which in a few short years, by the blessing of God on the Temperance Pledge, the temptation has been overcome, and the victim reclaimed. EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE. X'w York Express says : “The whole number of comers at this port during the month of May was 32,- n January to May inclusive there were but 56 emigrants arrived at New York.

The following problem has been handed to us by a friend, requests some of our young readers to give him an an . hree jealous husbands with their wives were to cross a ®r by night in a boat that would carry but two persons at a How can they cross two at a time so that neither of ® women should be left in the cempany of either of the men a her husband be present ? JENNY LIND. This fair vocalist, says the Albion, has managed to keep the musical public of London in aflutter, since her very first appearance. Her reported marriage, and her retirement from the stage, have been fruitful rhemes for newspaper paragraphs. The latter event has really occurred, though we trust like many similar retirements, it ma}r only be pro lem pore. • Mrs. Wood changed her mind, and after all, Jenny is but a woman. She played for the last time on Thursday, the 10th ult., and aroused such a furore , that we give the following accounts of the remarkable scene. Foreigners are apt to dub the English a phlegmatic people, but when thoroughly moved, the evidence of ex citement is palpable enough. “ During the whole of Mademoiselle Lind’s en gagement this season, there has not been soextra ordinary a spectacle as was exhibited last night, when, as the bills stated, her 4 last operatic per formance ’ was to take place. Although this an nouncement contained nothing to imply that she would not hereafter sing at concerts, the public thronged to Her Majesty’s Theatre as if she were about to take her leave altogether, and they never were, under any circumstances, to see or to hear her again. And, indeed, the acting of Jenny Lind is such an essential element in her power of attracting the public, that by quitting the operatic boards and becoming the mere concert singer, she almost loses her identity. The difference of her reception when she sang at the 4 classical concert ’ from that when she re-appeared in La Somnambula must have struck any one who witnessed the two scenes. Though the theatre was the same, and the bulk of the audience nearly the same on both occasions, she was greeted in the character of Amina just as if she was making her debut , and the preceding concert had never been given.— Hence the public, who thought they were witness ing for the last time the combination of Jenny Lind the actress with Jenny Lind the vocalist, were not so much mistaken in giving all the force of a final interview to their visit last night. 44 Roberto II Diavolo , which, on the London Italian stage, has never been very popular as a whole, but which has depended for its attraction on the Alice of Mademoiselle Lind, was the opera selected. The character in which she first sang before a London audience was chosen as the one in which she was to take her leave. 4 Ma Nor mandie,’ with the immortal sotto voce shake, which has so often astonished her hearers, drew down the accustomed encore, and the clinging to the cross, with terror in the shrink and faith in the countenance, seemed even more striking than usual as a display of histrionic power. The increased sweetness and fullness of her voice this year has been a theme of universal remark, and never was it more melodious than last night. 44 The applause which she received at the con clusion was something remarkable. She was called three*times by an audience that occupied even the obscurest nooks of die edifice, and that universally rose when she appeared, and so con tinuous were the plaudits that they blended with each other into one roll of heavy sound. At the last call she appeared particularly moved.” A VISIT TO VESUVIUS. Vesuvius, the first object of curiosity to the stranger in Naples, has lately been attracting crowds to examine a crater which the action ol the volcano has lately formed on the side farthest from the city. The new cone rises like an ex cressence from the acclivity of the greater one. * * * Descending from the great cone during the present eruption, as I did at night fall, a scene of inconceivable ‘grandeur was suddenly revealed: at our feet lay a region apparently torn up hy internal fires which threatened to ingulph the whole soil, forming the crust above. The original crater was in powerful action, and eject ing a continual shower of ashes over our heads that caused a feeling of suffocation, not a little enhancing the idea of danger in our situation. But the newly formed cone was in fierce activity that drew the attention from all else, shooting forth torrents of fire, roaring, and hissing, and cracking, with sounds I can compare to nothing else, whilst showers of lava-rocks and ashes rose to a stupendous height with ‘the blood-red. To wards the lower country, the flank of this -cone fiad been rent open, giving egress to a stream of lava, that descended down the acclivity and con tinued flowing in a serpentive course as far as the eye could reach ; whilst a coiling sulphu rious vapor sent up from its waves, as darkness increased,’became like a bright mist against the background of gloom. — Colman s t Magazine. Louisville June , 12th.—Dreadful Steamboat Ex plosion and Loss of Life.— The steamboat. Embassy collapsed both flues of her starboard boiler, be low Green River, on Saturday morning last, and a number of the crew and deck passengers were killed and blown overboard by the violence of the explosion. Twenty-eight others were severely scalded; some of them, it is feared, so seriously that they cannot recover. The killed and wound ed were chiefly deck passengers, though some of the cabin passengers were also injured. The number of killed has not yet been ascertained.— The cook was thrown overboard and drowned, and the second engineer badly scalded. The boat was much shattered, and shortly after the lamentable disaster, was towed to Evansville, Ind. The scene on board was of the most heart render description. The Embassy was from Pitts burg, bound to St. Louis. | THE HEALTH OF NEW YORK. The total number of deaths in this city for the week commencing on Sunday and ending yester day, as reported to the office of the City Inspec tor, was 409. Os these 91 were of cholera. The number of cases of cholera reported from Sunday to yesterday, both days inclusive,was 251. The number of cases reported yesterday was 40 and 19 deaths. The whole number of deaths by cholera since the appearance of the disease in this city (twent\ r three days) in 126. The number of deaths for the same number of days from the commence ment in 1832 was 1235 ; —1834, 336. The number of deaths in this city for the first week of June, last year, was 303—this year 409 —showing an increare this year, over the corres ponding week of last year,of 106 —91 of which were cholera. Mrs. Butler gave one of her readings last week at Canandaigua. She was advertised in-the vil lage newspapers to read “Milch Ado about Noth ing. On the day of reading, at the request of citizens, by whom she had been invited there, she changed the play, and read “ Hamlet.” An hon est shop-keeper heard the reading, and became quite enthusiastic in his admiration. The next morning he happened to see the advertisement in the paper, and went to a gentleman with it foam ing and, boiling over with rage,: 44 See here,” said he, 44 what these infamous scoundrels have been doing! They have published Mrs. Butler’s reading last night as 4 Much Ado about Nothing I And not content with such an insult,” added.he, “ they have put it in capital letters— ‘Much Ado About Nothing!’ They ought to be horse-whip ped !” And off he started, in a towering pas sion, to arouse public indignation against the ras cals who had committod the outrage. — Knicker bocker Magazine. Woman's Age. —Eve, it is well known, was six teen years old when she was awakened at the side of her husband. Sixteen years old, say the ancient writers, and that so boldly, that they must have seen Eve’s register written on the lil ies of Paradise. Now women—who have, nine times out of ten, more curious rabbinical learning than the mean envy of our sex will allow them— women, inheriting the privilege from their first parent, believe, that after a certain time, they have a just right to let their first sixteen years go for nothing, and so they sink the preliminary sixteen with a smile, counting, with mother Eve, their seventeenth as their first real birth day. And they are right: for it deducts from your wo man of five-and-forty all that she cares to lose, giv ing her a fair start with Eve, and pegging her back to full blown nine-end-twenty. And, indeed, it is impossible that any really charming woman should be a day older. Weighty News. —The other day, a verdant genius stood in the street near the telegraph office, ga zing at the telegraph wires and listening with mouth agap and distended ears to the vibrating sound caused by the action of the wind upon the wires—supposing the noise was produced by the transmission of news. While in the midst of his wondering bewilderment, the American House gong sounded for dinner. —The fellow jumped back and exclaimed, “the tarnal consarn eas got as much as it can stand under now. Another French revolution or an earthquake in China. I’ve heern ov ver locomotives and yer steamboats, but this telegraph is the Devil’s Express.— Belfast Signal. That men do not like to take the life of a fel low njan, is sufficiently shown by juries, who nourish a doubt until they have persuaded them selves into rendering a verdict of not guilty —an absurd verdict in nine cases out of ten —since in nine cases out of ten the weight of the direct evidence, and the majority of circumstances con nected with the crime commited, point to the ac cused. But a single convenient doubt, allied to the unwillingness of jurors to take life, results in acquittal. Modify the penalty, and many a wretch who walks out of court amidst the ap plause of his friends, but with the blood of the innocent and slain on bis soul, would be consign ed to the State Prison, there to pass the remain der of his days. May we not hope that men will learn wisdom one oT these days? The American Union relates a capital joke of a*Mr. Prince, of Boston, who was travelling on the continent of Europe, and who, before visitiug Germany, had his name registered in his passport, as, 44 James Prince of Boston.” Setting out in plain, unpretending style, with another American gentleman, he was received at the first stopping place, with a grand salute —dinner, &c., which cost him a hundred florins, at a second and a third town they were received in the same costly mag- The two Americans finding that at the rate things were going on, their cash would be exhausted before they arrived at the center of the first circle, inquired of the host it private gentle men like themselves could not pass through the German towns without so much ostentation and expense. The host informed them that they could, if they pleased, travel incog , “but then,” said he, bowing obsequiously to Mr. Prince, “ it will be necessary for his highness to take his title out ol the passport.” That at once explained the whole matter, and Mr. Prince, having caused the proper correction to be made, went through the remain der of his tour without being annoyed with lur ther regal honors.” SOUTHERN MUTUAL INSURANCE COM'Y OF GEORGIA.
