The Royal Marriage in England. The marriage of I'rince Frederick William of Prussia was celebrated at the Chapel Hoy nl, St. James Palace, on the 25;h of January, according to the programme. The day was generally observed as a holiday. THE ROVAf. BRIDAL CO#fl UK. The bridal costume of the Princess Royal was of rich white moirr antique ; the lace dress of exquisite Ilouitou guipure, oasis!ing of three flounces, the body being trimmed to match. The veil was of Honitoa guipure lace, worn in a stylo completely novel in England for bridal costumes, attached to the head with magnificent Moorish and Spanish pins. Ihe dress and veil were splendidly worked—the emblems being the rose, thistle and shamrock. The latter has employed fifty girls for the last twelve months. This new style of veil was en tirely her Majesty's suggestion, and the carry ing out of the idea that met *he approbation of the Queen. The cost of this production was about £6OO. THE CJIArEL. The floor of St. James chapel was covered with a scarlet carpet, and was en'irely appro priate to the royal cortege, the illustrious vis jtors and their suites. THE ALTAR The altar was of crimson velvet, on which was the royal communion service of gold plate. There was a low rail of oak around tbe altar, the whole of the top being covered with crim son velvet. The Archbishop of Canterbury ; officiated, assisted by the Bidiop of London, , notwithstanding that the latter is dean of the j chapel. Sir G. Smart presided at the organ. \ Tlio attestation of the royal marriage took | place in the Throne room. The royal attestn- ! tiou book is the keeping of the Archbishop of j Canterbury, and is a curious memento, contain ing witnessing for centuries past. i THE RATAL WEDDING CAKE. The royal wedding cake was of colossal pro-, portions—five feet in height. It. was made in • three tiers, and in compartments, each one be-, ing surmounted with a figure of a classical character, more resembling a work of nrr, in ; ability of execution, than a production of tho confectionary department. It was brought to Hnckiiighum Palace, in pieces, and finally put together there. CEREMONY IN THE CHAPEL. On arriving at the chapel the bride was con ducted to her seat in the chapel, on the left side of the Haut Pas leading to the altar, near her Majesty's chsir of state, and Lis roy al Highness the Prince Consort and his M ij esty the King of the Belgians were conducted to their seats oil the Haut Pas, near the bride. The Lord Chamberlain and vice-Chamberlain stood near her Majesty. As each procession entered tne chapel a march was played. When the bride had taken her place near the altar, a hymn was sung and the service commenced. The service was performed by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury ; the Lord Bishop of London, Dean of her Majesty's Chapels Royal ; the Bishop of Oxford, Lord High Al moner ; the Bishop of Chester, Clerk of the Closet ; the Honorable and Very Reverend the Dean of Windsor, Domestic Chaplain to the Queen : and the Rev. Dr. Wesley, sub- Deau of her Majesty's Chapels Royal. At the conclusion of the service Handel's Hallelujah Chorus was sung.and Meiidlesshon's Wedding March was played as the procession left the chapel. Hardly had the last words of the chorus died away in solemn echoes, when the ceremo nial as arranged by chamberlains and heralds, ended, and the bride gave vent to her evident ly long pent up feelings turned and flung her self upon her mother's bosom with a sudden ness and depth of feeling that thrilled through every heart. Again anil again JL-r Majesty strained her to her heart and kissed her, and : tried to conceal her emotion, but it was both ; needless and in vain, for all perceived if, and ! there were few who did not share it. We ! need not mention how the bridegroom embra ced her, and how, as she qnittod him, with the tears now plainly stealing down her cheeks she threw herself into the arms of her father, while ber royal husband was embraced by the Princess of Prussia in a manner that evinced all that only a mother's love can show. The most affecting recognition, however, took place between the bridegroom and his royal father, for the latter seemed overpowered with emo tion, and the former, after clasping him twice to his heart, knelt and kissed his parents hand. The Queen then rose, and hurry ng across j the haul pax with the Prince Consort, cmbra- j ecd the Princess of Prussia as on" sister would • another after long parting, and turning to the Prince of Prussia, gave him her hand, which as he stopped to kiss she stopped him, declin ed the condescension by offering !n*r cheek in stead. But words will feebly convey the ef fects of the warmth, the abandonment of ef fection and friendship, with which these greet ings passed, the reverence with which the bridegroom saluted Her Majesty, and manly heartiness with which he wrung the Prince Consort's hand, for by the working of hi* face it was evident he could not trust his tongue t> speak. THE ARRIVAL AT WINDSOR —ENTHUSIASM OF THF. ETON POTS. The terminus of the Great Western Rail way, w here the illustrious couple were to ar rive on their first wedding trip, was the centre of interest, and eager crowds flocked to the station. On the arrival, platforms of two large wooden stages, capable of containing upwards of I,oot> persons were erected on either side of her Majesty's waitingroom, in front of which the royal travellers were to alight. One of the stages intended for spec tators was appropriated to the Eton boys, who mastered upwards of 700 strong ; and above their heads appeared a tasteful display of banners and laurel wreaths, together with a splended device in goid lamp*, on which, in large and brilliant characters, " Congealulalor JZtoni," shone out conspicuously. At o, 36 the telegrajvh announced that the train had passed Slough, and the excitement of the assemblage had reached its climax, when in six brief minutes l iter the shrill sound of the engine-driver's whistle broke upon the car. This was the signal for a spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic cheers, the shouts leing caught up and renewed ag lin and again along a length ened line of sjiectators. Auiid this tumultous din, during the whole of which the E'on boys rang out aloud ami clear, tbe special train drove slowly up the platform. The youthful bridegroom instantly alighted and gave his hand to his bride. The appearance of the royal pair on the platform elicited redoubled manifestations of loyalty,and the whole scene was indescribably heart stir ring and affectiDg. The youthful illustrious objects of all this enthusiasm appeared deeply iik) veil at the thorough heartiness of the wel eotne accorded them, and testitied their grati tu k* t*V repeatedly bowjug to tI)Q assemblage. Hiving shaken hands and exchanged a few words of r cognition with one or two of the principal personages on the platform, Prince Frederick William led his youthful bride into the Queen's reception room, through which they had to pass in order to rench the carriage which stood in waiting to (Oivey them to the Castle. The horses which brought this vehi cle to the station—two handsome grays—had been removed to make way for the Eton boys whose enthusiasm had impelled them to solicit the honor of drawing the royal carriage through the town to its destination —an offer which was gracefully accepted hy its illustrious occu pants. Some twenty or thirty of these fervid youths having yoked themselves in front of the I chariot, and a greater number lending their assistance t" propel it from behind, the cortege moved off under the escort of theFusilecr guards ! whose fine hand struck up the national anthem. Its route, which lay through the High street ami up Castle hill, was brilliantly illuminated, and along the entire course it was accompanied by a vast multitude, who rent the air with the : r vehement vociferation. Arrived at the Castle, the royal pair took up their abode in the Lan caster Tower, where an elegant suite of apart ments had benj specially fitted up for their reception. XXXVTII CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Washington. Tuesday, Feb. 9. In tho Senate, Mr. Docoi.as again made an effort to induce a consideration of his Kansas resolution calling for the returns of the elec tions, etc., but the Senate refused, by a vote of 3d to 23, to postpone the consideration of the Army bill, which was debated until the adjournment. In the liouse, the Committee appointed to investigate the ae. ounts and official conduct of the doorkeeper of the last House, were author ized to extend their inquiries to any charges affecting the present doorkeeper. A Special Committee was ordered, on motiouof Mr. Il.vs kin, to inquire into the circumstances attend ing the sale of Willet's Point, New-York, as a site for Government fortifications, with pow- ! or to send for persons and papers. Nothing else of general interest was done. Washington, Thursday 1-Vb. 11. lsva. In the Senate, a memorial was presented from citizens of Albany, offering to raise a. regiment of volunteers for Utah. Resolutions were reported, making an appropriation for printing the opinions of the Supreme Court in the Died Scott case. An amendment, to the effect that the Senate, in voitng the appropria tion, does not intend to indo se the decision, was voted down. A discursive debate then took place on the resolution, in the course ot which several Senators declared that they felt compelled to vote for it, because the work had been done, and should be paid for, at the s line time that they dissent from the discussion. The resolution was finally passed by a vote of 32 yeas to 12 nays. A resolution was adopt ed. unanimously, calling on the Secretary of War to inform the Senate what officers of the army, belonging to regiments now in active I service, arc absent from their regiments, and the cause of such absence. The Army bill was then debated, until the adjournment, and the first section, proposing to add two coinpa- ; nics to each regiment, was amended by limit ing the increase to two years. In the llonsc, the Speaki r announced the Committee of Fif teen under Mr. Harms* resolution to refer the Kansas Message and the L*eompton Constitu tion, and, also, the Committee to examine into tlie facts connected with tha sale and purchase of land at Willet's Point for fortification pur poses. The bill amendatory of the act for the preservation of life on board steam vessels was, after debate, referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Stanton-, Chairman of the Tariff Investigation Committee, reported that Mr. J. W. Wai.cot had male satisfactory replies to the question of the Committee, and submit ted a resolution for his arraignment at the bar of the House for contempt.

Speaker ORK lias announced the Committee appointed under Mr. HARRlS' reso'ntion, adopt ed on Monday morning, to which WHS to be referred the President's Message, and the Le eompton Constitution, and who are authorized to make an investigation into Kansas affairs generally. Contrary t<> the usual parliamen tary custom, and to honorable and fair deal ing. that committee is composed with a ma jority opposed to the object of the resolution. The following is the Committee : HARRIS of 111 Vnti-Lp'-oniton—Dt-m. STEPHENS of (TA Leeompton—Dein. MORRILL of Vt Anti-Lecouipton -Hop. LETCH R of Va Leeompton—-Dein. WADE of Ohio A at i-Leeompton —Rep. QriTM IN of Mis* Leeompt m—Dem. WIN SLOW of X. (.' Leeompton —Dem. BENNETT of X. V Anti-Leemnpton—Rep. WIIITK of I'.t Leeompton— Dem.

RI'SSELL of X. A" Leeompton—Dem. The Committee stand a* follows : Lo.-miptoiiites (7 Dem >erats ami I Smth American).. .8 Anfi-Leeomptonitus (j Republican* ami 2 democrats). .7 This unusual course on the part of the Spea ker has excited much indignation at Washing ton. We cannot say that we are disappoint ed in the formation of the Committee. What arc precedents, parliamentary usage, or legal requirements, when put in the scale against the demands of Slavery ? That exicting, in exorable power, stops at no moral obligation, when fraud and villainy are necessary to ac complish its purposes. It would be too much to expect, after the many outrages upon the rights of the people I of Kansas, after all the fraud and forgeries perpetrated upoa the elections of that Territo ry. that the Speaker should hesitate to re pudiate parliamentary custom, and the re quirements of comiuou decency, when by so do ing lie could prevent an official investigation and exposure of ilie monstrous wrongs perpe trated iu Kansas. The Inst act of fraud and jugglery prac tised in regard to Kansas is now being played bv the Administration, in asserting that the Free-State Legislature is to lie declared elect ed by CALHOUN. Alarmed by the indications in the Free States, and by their partial defeat in the House, it is now given out that CAL worx lias received some additional returns since lie has been at Washington, which elects the Free-State ticket, and a majority of Free- State men to the Legislature. This is freely telegraphed over the country, in tiie hope to divest the question in Congress of some of its importance and interest, but CALHOUN, when questioned, declares that he will not issue any certificates until after Kansas is admitted Then it is safe to say, the Pro-Slavery men will have the certificates. We call the public attention to the disgrace ful fact that CAT, not-v is at Washington, pet ted and endorsed by the Administration, with the suffrages of the people of Kansas in his hands to alter as he pleases ; with supreme power to elect whom lie pleases, to control for years the destinies of that Territory. Can there be any wonder, that the people of Kan sas should lie, as Mr. BUCHANAN expresses it, in a state of rebellion to the Territorial au thorities when snch infamous and high-handed proceedings are sanctioned by the General Government ? In the mean time, a commission appointed ! by the Territorial Legislature, is investigating i the frauds perpetrated at the late election, and making some astounding developments. To tiie celebrated Oxford precinct, which gave IsOO majority for the Pro-Slavery ticket, a commissioner was sent to take a census—he re ports 33 legal voters in that precinct, a ma jority of whom are Free-State ! 6?" A sham duel took place Friday after noon, on the west side of the Schuylkill, near Philadelphia between two young men named PE CHARMONT and SHERIDKX. The balls were drawn by the seconds from the pistols before they were handed to the combatants—a fact of which SiiERinKN was aware. As the p-stols were fired, SHERWEN fell, and ,J)E CHARMONT, fearing the consequences, fled to parts unknown. In a letter he left at home, lie stated that if lie killed his antagonist he would leave for Eu | rope immediately. The amount of loss to the Hartford i County Saving's Institution, of Hartford, Con ! necticut, by the default of its Treasurer, John W. Seymour, is represented to bo $112,000. r l he sum of $3,000 has been offered as a reward for the apprehension of Seymour, and his de livery in Hartford. It is represented that he wis in Columbus, Georgia, last Wednesday, traveling South. The institution which he robbed so heavily will be wound up. It has remaining only two hundred and ninety five thousand dollars of assets. LETTER OF GOV. WISE. Gov. WISE hus written a letter of charac teristic length, in response to on invitation to attend the Anti-Leeompton meeting in Phila delphia, on Monday evening. The letter is contained in The Press, and the following is a hrief synopsis of the leading features. He commences by saying that a careful view of the President's Message constrains him to differ fiom the President of his choice. He protests against the mode in which the Leeompton con stitution was pretended to be submitted, as anti-Republican und oppressive, and as offen sive to the self-respect and moral sense of n free people. He admits that the conduct of the Topekaites was violent and unlawful, and that their opponents acted under lawful au thority up to the submission of the constitu tion to the people. Rut that has nothing to do with the issue—is the constitution the act and deed of the people, and is the schedule Re publican ? The wrong of the Topekaites will not justify the wrong of the Leeompton Con vention, nor cure the effects of the Leeompton schedule, which through providing for its rati fication or rejection was submitted, for appro val alone, without allowing a vote upon its re jection. He contends that there was obvious ly a sinister and anti-Republican purpose in tiius giving an unfair election as to the part of the constitution, with no election as to the whole. He denies the assertion of the Presi dent that no people could have proceeded with more regularity in the formation of a constitu tion than the people of Kansas have done.— The people were not allowed a fair election at all. A fair election could not be held under ! the schedule, as appears from its face. He j combats the President's idea that the admis-1 sion of Kansas would speedily end the agita- j tion in Congress and localize it in Kansas.— j lie declares that it never can Ix.- local. Again, ; it is all essential that the settlement shall be ! just, right and equal ; and if not so, it is sure to be inischeivious to that party snatching power without right, and doing wrong that good may come. The ulterior effect of adopt ing the Leeompton constitution will be worse than referring back the question for Territori al decision. It will arraign the Democracy and the South for demanding more than is right ; it will return the chalice to oar own lips, when the Kansas question again and again rises in our own boundless domain of unsettled Territories ; it will drive away thousands of houest democrats to raise the Black Republi can flag over the Capitol in tiie next struggle for power, and then raise the last dread issue of disunion. He concludes by addressing the committee as the friends of Mr BUCHANAN and to the administration, who have his best wish es and warmest friendship, and whom he would save both from danger an 1 defeat lie trusts in their pure and patriotic motives, but lie re gards much more the Democracy of the South and the Union, and professes anxiety for their fate. For himself he fears nothing, firmly standing on the right in spite of friends or foes. tag" Mr. MAFKET having resigned his office as Superintendent and Engineer of the Upper North Branch, the Legislature has passed an act giving the Canal Commisfioners control of the work, and it is announced that the Board has divided it into three divisions and appoint ed Dr. I). L. SCOTT Supervisor of the Upper division from the State line to Towanda ; Jo- SF.I'II E. PIOI.F.TT of the middle division, from Towanda to Horse Race Dam ; and— LITS, of the balance. The unscrupulous and persevering war made upon Mr. MAFKF.T lias at last been suc cessful, and that gentleman succumbs before the unequal conflict, resigning to avoid a re sult which was inevetable. Now that the work is under the control of men who have done their utmost to embarrass Mr. MAFFET, in bis efforts to fiuUh the canal, wc trust that that they will evince as much anxiety for its thorough and early completion as they have hitherto professed, and make the canal naviga ble, in as short a time as possible. t&af riie " Atlantic Monthly 1 ' for Februa ry more than sustains the reputation of the former issues. The papers are all of the very highest order of talent, with a freshness and attractiveness about them which cannot fail to render the work popular.

We will supply the Atlantic Monthly by mail, and the Reporter, one year for $3. 6t&- On Tuesday evening, a fight took place at New Haven, Connecticut, between some students of \ ale College and a lire company, in the course of which a fireman, named Wil liam Mills, was so severely wounded that his recovery is considered doubtful. The name of the student who shot him is not publicly kuown. The affair has caused much excitement. teg- Messrs. Nichols, Babcocb, Stevens, Chase and Wiliiston, the members of the Le | gislature, from the Wilmot District, (says the j Potter Journal,) left Harrisburg for Washing ton immediately after hearing of the fight be tween Grow and Keitt, an account of which we give in another column. They say that if their District is going to have any knocking to do they want a hand in the game. FINE BF.F.F.—M'CARE, at the Central Meat Market, has purchased, for the purpose of feeding the people of this place, some of the j best cattle ever slaughtered for this market.

From Washington. Washington, Friday, Feb. II I understand the Lecomptonites are re sanguine that at their caucus, to morrow n® they can present a compromise which will#, isfy the Douglas men, and lead theiu to cw ; tlieir resistance. The principal point of u* proposition is that Congress shall declare tor , right of the people of Kansas to change tber Constitution immediately if they choose. The j artisan vote by "which "Hoard's re*> lation, prov'd ng fcran nveuuatim i, to tiv uewspaper reports relative to attempts on t part of persons in the interest of the Kmc* tive to influence votes for Locompton wast* bled today, is a significant commentary up the President's d eclaration that he will car Locompton through within thirty days. Bras ! attempts to exculpate himself to-dav weit-rrr ■ indiscreet, especially in view of the fact tin lit: himself told a colleague that lie (Haws could have a couple of offices in the district: jhe would vote right. This can be substatu: I ed. Cai.HOCN's declarations that the Froe Sri: 1 I TiCgislature of Kansas is elected is creatiif trouble among the Southern Lecomptonites Washington, Felmiary !*, Tlie Lecomptonites have modified theirpto | somewhat since their disheartening defeat 1 Monday. In other words, a compromise is | foot, and to mv knowledge some of the Pk orotic opponents of Lecompton in its presrt shape hare signified their willingness to v cept the proposed compromise. The arraag ■ iiient understood now to be settled ipon, | that Calhoun shall issue certificates tt tb ! free state candidates for state officers in Kc sas, and Congress, i accepting the eonstitoti* will assert the right of the people of Kas* ; to amend it at any time, irrespective of &:"• ; thing in it to the contrary. This, it is thoagh; , will satisfy the Douglas party, or erwßth i i it to carry Lecompton easily. It is thought by some that nnatteswtv' be made to rush Lecompton through Cwpf* ; in spite of the reference in the House to' I Select committee. But such a game etnej be played. The Republicans will stop it' i necessary by a resort to "dilatory mpti"ff ' This will, i their own opinion, In* iastifia 5 * under the circumstances.

RQrTlic New Hampshire election "'j l ' place on the 9th of March. The Adroit tion, by its course on the Kansas question left its friends in the Granite State no to recover the ground they lost several . since. The Republicans will win an ea-\ . tory.
