Her Royal High ness Mary, Duchess of Gloucester, expir ed yesterday morning, at the age of 81. I Site was born on the 25 of April, 1770, and consequently had long passed the or dinary limit of human Jife. It is impossi ; hie not to feel that the extinction by the death of this Royal lady of a family placed in so eminent a station is a noteworthy ; event. There were thirteen children born from the marriage of George 111. with Queen Charlotte—George, Prince of Wales afterwards George IV.; Frederick, Duke of \ ork; William, Duke of Clarence, af terwards William IV.; Edward, Duke of Kent; Ernest, Duke ol Cumberland, after : wards King of Hanover; Augustus, Duke | of Sussex; Adolphus, the Duke of Cain bridge. (ft the six daughters three died unmarried, am! three were married. The names in the order of birth stand thus;— The Princess Royal, Charlotte Augusta, who married the King of Wurtemburg; the Princess Augusta, who died unmarried; the Princess Elizabeth, who was married to the Prince ol Hesse liomburg; the Princess Alary, the lady just dead, who who was married to Iter cousin the Duke ol Gloucester; and finally, the Princesses Sophia and Amelia, both ol whom died un married. With so copious a race there was little danger ola disputed succession or of a va cant throne. It is singular, however, how lew in mi in bet are lite representatives of this numerous l.tntilv in lite present gener ation. Queen Victoria, the King of Han over, and the three children of the late duke of Cambridge are, we believe, now the on ly survivors, and the Princess Charlotte, daughter of George IV., is the only one who has passed away. There is, howev er, happily but little chance that lite Roval Family of England will Ite speedily exhaus ted. Hut a le\V days before the venerable Duchess of Gloucester was summoned front this world a ninth child was horn to the Queen of England, so that an orderly suc cession to the Rriti.-h throne would appear to be among lite events on which one may calculate with a reasonable certainty. MEAN TRICK OF A MISERLY PRINCE. A late letter front Paris contains the fol lowing account of how a miserly prince got caught in a mean though ingenious plan to save his pennies:—"A magnificent subscription ball had been given by the actors, actresses, and artists at the Opera Cotnique; the proceeds being devoted to the relief of indigent performers. A bit of gossip just going the rounds here in connection with this ball tells how Prince P., an Italian nobleman oqually renowned for rank, wealth, and parsimony, being rather unwell lite other day, determined to consult the well-known Dr. Ricord, and how, afraid of having to large a fee if he betrayed his rank, lie disguised himself for the nonce in the livery of his valet. The consultation over, the false valet took out a splendid purse, and was about to open it, when the doctor said good humored!v. "No, no, my good fellow, vou owe me nothing; I can't consent to break in upon yottr little savings." "Iut," returned the man in livery with an air of offended pride, "although a ser vant I ant richer than you think me. I have the honor to be in the service of Prince P." "Ah, indeed? and your prince gives you handsome wages?" said the doctor. "The prince is very generous," answer ed the pretended valet, proudly; and he gives me quite enough to enable me to j acknowledge in a suitable manner the ser vices you have rendered me." The doctor still refused, but the valet nobly insisted; and refused to withdraw until he had forced upon the astonished doctor a five franc piece! The next tuven ing the illustrious physician being at the Artists' Hall, espied his quondam patient, no longer in livery, hut arrayed in a cos- j •ume whose embroideries alone must have , cost over four thousand dollars, blazing j with the orders of all the courts of Europe and displaying all the majesty of air that , befitted his rank. The prince is reported as having turned rather red on perceiving j THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1857. the doctor, of whom lie took not the slight est Recognition. The doctor, on his side, did not recognize the prince; he was cruel enough to recognise only the valet, and addressing himself with a patronizing nod to the wearer of the orders and embroidery, lie sai l to him pleasantly, "My good fel low, do me the kindness to call my car riage." A WORD TO YOUNG LADIES. We wish to say a word to young ladies about your influence over young men.— Did you ever think of if? Did you ever realize that you could have any influence at all over tlieni? We believe that a young lady by her constant, consistent, Christian example, may exert an untold power.— \ ou do not know the respect, the almost worship, which young men, no mailer how wicked they may be themselves, pay to a consistent Christian lady, be she young or old. A gentleman once said to a lady who boarded iu the same house with him, that her life was a constant proof of the Christian religion. Often the simple re quest of a lady will keep a young man from doing wrong. AVe have known this to he the case very frequently; and young men have been kept from breaking the Sabbath, from drinking, from chewing, just because a lady whom they tespected, and for whom they had an affection, requested it. A tract given, an invitation to go to church, a request that your friend would read the bible daily, will often be regarded, when more powerful appeals from oifler sources would fall unheeded upon his heart. Many of the gentlemen whom you meet in society are far away front their own homes—away from the influence of parents and sisters—and they will respond to any interest taken in their welfare. We all speak of a young man's danger from evil associates, and the very bad influence which his dissipated gentleman companions have over him. We believe it is all true; but we believe it is just as true thai a oa-n --tlematt's character is formed, to a very i great extent, by the ladies that lie associ ates with, before be becomes a complete man of the world. Wc think, in other words, that a young man is preliy much what his sisters and a young lady frieud chooses to make him. Wc knew a family where the sisters en couraged the younger brother to smoke, thinking it was manly, and to mingle with gay, dissipated fellows because they thought it "smart;" and he did mingle with them, until lie became just like them, body and soul, and abused the same Sisters j shamefully. The influence began further back than with his gentlemen companions, j It began with his sisiers, and was carried j on through the forming years of character, j On the other hand, if his sisters are watch ful and affectionate, they may, in various ! ways—by entering into little plans with interest, by introducing their younger brothers into good ladies society, lead them j along until their character is formed, and i then a h'gh-toned rpspect will keep them ' from low society. If a young man sees ! that die religion which in youth he was taught to venerate, is lightly thought of and perhaps sneered at, by the young la dies with whom he associates, we can i hardly expect him to think that it is the j thing for him. Let none say they have j no influence, any more than you can live J without breathing. One is just as una- j voidable as the other. He ware .ken, what i kind of influence it is you are constantly exerting. An invitation to take a glass of ! wine, or to.play a game of cards, may i kindle the lires of intemperance or gam- i biing which will burn forever. A jest ; given at the expense of religion; a ligfit, trifling manner in the house of God, or 1 any of the numerous ways, in which you 1 may show your disregard for the souls ol others, may be the means of ruining many 1 lor time and eternity. A DEAR SHOT. During last winter a farmer in the upper J part of the country was sorely annoyed by the incursions of a neighbor's cattle on his shocks of fodder. Forbearing from time to time, he was at length thoroughly aroused one of those bleak, snowy days, j with the announcement that had lallen dolefully on his ears half a dozen times before—that Mr. 's cattle was eating up all his fodder. Without taking any thought, our incensed farmer seized his "rifle, powder and ball," and made forth j with for his stacks of fodder. Loading as ! he went, he felt in his pocket for wadding, and without looking at the paper, down he rammed it. Having reached the spot he fired away, when all at once he fell some misgivings as to the character of the wad ding csed. Subsequent examination pro veil that he had used a small roll of bank notes in his vest pocket of the value of j $l5O. Rather a dear shot.—Fredericks burg Herald. A SLAVE'S IDEA OF SPIRITUAL SALVATION. The following anecdote is from Olm sted's "Seaboard Slave-States:"— A slave, who was a "professor," plagued his master very much by his persistence in certain immoral practices, and he re- ! quested a clergyman to converse witli him, and try to reform him. The clergyman i did so; and endeavored to brirfg the terrors I of the law to bear upon his conscience. "Look yeah, massa," said the blackslt der, "don't tie Scripture say, 'Dem who believe and is baptized shall be saved?' " "Certainly, 5 the clergyman answered; and went on to explain and expound the passage; but the slave interrupted him again. "Jus you tell me now, massa, don't the ! good bonk say dese words: 4 Dem as be lieves and is baptize shall be save;' want to know dat." "Yes; bur—" "Dal s all I want to know, sar; now, • wat's the use o' talkin' to me? You ain't going to make bleve wal de blessed Jjord says an't so, not ef you trv forever." The clergyman again attempted to ex plain, but the negro would not allow him, and as oiten as lie got back to the judgment day, or was charging him with sin, and demanding reformation, he would interrupt him in the same way. "De Scriptures say, if a man believe and be baptize, he shall—he shall be save. Now, massa minister, 1 done believe and I [ done baptize, an I shall be savedsartin— dere's no use talkin', sir." BRANDY; ITS MANUFACTURE, j The following account from the Toronto i Colonist, of the death of a man from tast- ! ittg a poison used in manufacturing brandy i from raw spirits conveys its own moral: j At about 11 o'clock, Thursday morning, ! a clerk in the employ of Mr. Wright, li- j quor manufacturer, at Brampton, left the i store for the purpose of manufacturing a | quantity of brandy from raw spirits. He look with him a preparation used for this • purpose—by some called essence of bran dy. The preparation was placed on the table in the warehouse, and the deceased (Air .Mortis,) after preparing a portion df the liquor, returned to the store, and look a glass of ale with some friends from To ronto. lie had scarcely returned from the j store to his former occupation more than five minutes, before the porter ran into the j store, in great alarm, exclaiming, "Mr Mor- i ris has been tasting the essence of brandy, and it has killed him." On those present , running to the spot, it was found that the ; report was too true; the sufferer had inad vertently tasted a few drops of the drug, ' which is nearly allied to prussic acid, and ; instant death was the consequence of this unhappy mistake. An inquest was held in ; the afternoon; but the verdict of the jury ' was not given at the time the cars left liramp lon. Mr. Morris was a very well educa ted voutig man of highly respectable fami ly in Gloucestershire, England. dVotice. —Whereas, Patrick O'Connor lately left his lodgings, this is to give no I tice that if lie docs not return immediate- j ly, and pay for the same, he will be ad vertised. Ladies' Veils—A Caution. —Curtis, a cele brated writer on sight, says that the wearing of veils permanently weakens many naturally good eves, on account of the endeavors of the j eye to adjust itself to the ceaseless vibrations ; of that too common article of dress. Ladies , then should bewaro of hiding their pretty fa- ! ces with veils. t Bgyu'L'he Pittsburgh and Steubenville Rail road has been leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the term of twenty years.

New Series— Vol, 11, No. 29, ; The American Party—The True Issue. ihe I hiladelphia sun, the oldest Native , | American paper in the State, iu taking sides for the Union ticket,raps the Extra- Americans over the knuckles with considerable effect. In a late article on this subject it speaks as fol lows: There aro men to be found in every cotn j muriity who are highly impressible and ready | to receive whatever force may be applied to them. Sui-h individuals are useful when they are placed under proper influences, but they generally cost more than they are worth, be | cause they require continual watching. If a designing man take the ear of this class of men, he usually also gets their hearts, and does with them whatsoever it pleases him.— There are many such men In every communi ty, some of them good men, but who are ea sily misled, and they are taken advantagr of I by designing men, who live in large cities by watching for and taking advantage of what ! ever excitement may turn up. It gives us pleasure to be able to state that very many of the thinking men of the Am j crican party have given us the right hand of | fellowship for the campaign, kt view of the decided stand we UTtve taken in favor of Mr, ,A\ ilinot. lhesc men think for themselves, ; and are not to be deceived,by the hyena cry and specious arguments and crude sophisms of men who can never rise to the dignity of being considered even respectful politicians. But these demagogues, who fail to become locofocos merely because they can do loco dirty work more effectually 'by remaining with the American party, leave no means un tried to keep simple minded citizens hurraing j for a principle, while the locos, through the divisions of those who ought to be friends, sneak into the best offices, and the pretended Americans get their reward. That such miserable) paid Hessians, soul . and body sold tricksters, are now engaged in the sinister effort to induce foolish men te get up a separate ticket, is beyond all cavil—that they are sustained by h} T pocrites calling them selves Americans, is equally beyond dispute. Let our readers look around for themselves and they will fiud that the men who are most i clamorous against David AVilmotas an Amer ican candidate, and who seem to affect a holy horror at any man iu the party voting for i that true son of Pennsylvania, are the very ones who a few years ago were active in their endeavors to bring about a compromise, or union, or amalgamation, or anything you please to call it. Aye, the doubly distilled trimmers who are now brawlers for one sided tickets, are the | very worthies who gained all they uuw have I by a union of Natives and AVhigs—are the ; very men who, when it suited their purposes, i were the advocates of free soil and the con temners of that portion ol' the mercantile in terest which was always suspicious of the I party which did not altogether ignore the i sentiments on the subject of slavery. But times are now changed, and these men have : changed their tactics, and, precious Araeri j cans as they seem to be, they dare not advo , cate the doctrine of the party they profess to belong to, and say, like men, they are entire | ly opposed to ay further slavery extension. Now, the question is reduced to this—and every Pennsylranian is called upon to vote upon one side or the other—shall the rich ; man's monopoly of labor in the States be pro tected, in Pennsylvania by Pennsylvanians, or shall we stand by and advocate the poor man's labor—his own labor, that by which his family is supported on the soil of Penn sylvania Disguise it as demagogues may, that is the true question, and the Philadel pbian and Pennsylvanian who is not man enough to declare in favor of himself and his fellow citizen of his or their State, is not fit to live in this State, and we feel quite sure a ! Southern man would consider his worst slaves , disgraced by association with such a Penn ) sylvanian. The man who will not strike a blow for his own State is not fit for any State, j and would, in a different emergency, barter ; away the liberties of his country. Show us 1 the man who is not proud of his own State, who does not prefer her interests before all 1 others, and you shall look on the man who is unworthy the name of an American citizen, and who is ready for anything and everything, i if thereby " thrift may follow fawning." AVho, of the most reckless and unprincipled of his defamers, will dare say David AVilmot is not a staunch and true friend of Pennsyl vania? Can the saute thing be said of his opposers? Who wiil de\y that David Wil uiot is a sincere friend of the farmers 'f , Pennsylvania—of the free laborer's rights— I of the free wages of free mechanics in oppo : sition to owned labor and its consequent mo nopoly by a privileged few? Will free white ! men of Pennsylvania oppose Mr. AVilmot be cause ho wishes to secure for them in Kansas : and Nebraska the rights aud privileges which j they now enjoy in Pennsylvania? Never, never. AYe know we can speak for the utie | sons of Philadelphia*, they wiil never sell their j birth-right to the heritage of freedom, and ! stamp t' ) noble, manly brows of free labor with the base, servile brand of Locofoco sub ! aerviency to monopolists and tyrants. Pleasant Affair. —The Ilarrisburg Tele graph says a large number of the personal and political friends of Gen. Simon Cameron, called on him on the 22d, at his in i Brady's Hotel, for the purpose of enjoying a | social tcte-a-icte, and burying in the past all , unpleasant feelings that may have heretofore i prevailed. The 0 ral received them alt ] with his accustomed blandness, and seemed to be unusually happy throughout the entire day. Many gentlemen who had, during a great part ol the present session, been his i most bitter enemies, met him at this time, and united in renewing their professions of mutual friendship. • Not true—That the election in lowa result ed in favor of locofocoism. Hie republican I ticket has over three thousand majority.
