Jenny Lind’s Marriage
This-affair ia a fixed fact- The “Nightin

one-and the “Goldschmidt of Hamburg” as
being twenty-four years of ago on tho day of
the ceremony. ■ The pair are at present the
•guests of T. W, Ward, of -Boston,; but the New
York Post says:
It is said that Jenny Lind, now Mrs. Gold
schmidt, will resido with her buslmud three
months at Northampton, Massachusetts, whero
a'house lias been taken for them, and after tho
expiration of that time they will sail for Eu
rope,. • 7-
Dr. Wainwrighf has baptized Mr. Goldschmidt,
who is of a Jewish family residing at Hamburg,
and who it us. said, had been long inclined to the
Christian faith: Mr. -Goldschmidt is a pianist
byprofessionynnd is said to be an accomplish
ed composer..
. The Boston Post adds:
The match has taken everybody by surprise,
though wo must say that we were struck with
. something confoundedly arch nndroguißh in tho
twinkle other eye when sbo sung “John Ander
son,-my Jo.” the last time she appeared in pub
lic in this city. Such, however, has been the
discretion of tho parties, that it may have been
a “foregone conclusion” for years.

Wet soil should be drained, os no soil ■which

can be very productive, or bear crops of superior
"quality, no matter ofwhatils consistent elements

. -1. It carries oil all stagnant water, and gives
a lready escape to the excess of what fall in
ruins.
' 2. It prevents the ascent of water from below
: either by capirary attraction, or springs.
allows the water of rams to penetrate
npd.find a ready passago from tho soil, instead
of washing the surface.
■ 4. A.descent of water through the soil is fol
lowed by fresh air, which oocupios tho space
1 just left by the water.
■si The- soil after thorough draining becomes
, looser, morn pliable nnd cosily broken; this is

RATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION-; ■:
UaUlmore, Mil., Tuesday,-Jane I, 1853.
MONET MiIUKET.
Our merchants are actively engaged in pre
paring for the Spring business,-which, from pre
sent will bo heavy: There is con
sequently an unusual demand for money. The
Banks are discounting to the extent of their
means; lint they are totally unable to accommo
date all tlioso who make application for lavors.
The beat of mercantile paper is sold on the
streets at 1 per cent:; andfor second class paper
1} and even 2 per cent, discount is mndo. This
state of affairs, we confidently behove, will be
of short duration. ~
The stock market is without any change in
pices; in faot, owing to the scarcity of money,
there are no transactions worthy of notice. The
quotations-we give are mostly nominal, with a
tendency towards a decline.
Silver is scarce nnd still commands a premium
of ft cent, over currency. Gold is becoming
plentier- Currency is at a discount of f@l ft
cent.
In the Eeastern cities, especially New York,
the demand for money Is active, but equal to the
supply, and rates continue easy at 6 per cent,
for prime names, and 7@B-per cent, for other
good names,dong and short dates.
The receipts at the office of the Assistant
Treasurer of tho port of New York, on the 6th,
amounted to $71,162 81; payments, $6,445 58.
Bids to repeal tho. charter of of the People’s
Bank of Paterson, and to amend tho General
Banking law, bo as to include Virginia bix per
cent bonds among tho stocks that may bo depos
ited as security for circulating notes, arc now
before the Legislature of New Jersey.
Tho amount of cash held at the various sub
treasuries on tho 25th of January, was $12,-
126,745 80.
Counterfeit bills of tho denomination of $2O,
on the State Bank of Indiana, havo been put in
to circulation m that State. The counterfeits
are well existed, and well calculated to deceive,
and arc on the branches at New Albany and In
dianapolis.
Tho following counterfeits have also recently
been issued : Tweulies, on-Union Bank, Dover,
N. Y., altered from genuine ones—vig. a largo
fomdle, with shield, ,Yc.—full length fcmnlo on
the right end—well done. Twos, cu the Me
chanics’ Bank, Burlington, Now Jersey.—vig.,
only oao human hguro. Twos, on tho Jewitt
City Bank, Jewitt city, Ct—Letter A—Tho
words “State of Rhode Island’ mid “Provi
dence” stamped in—paper light, engraving good.
Throes, on the same bank—vig. female, with
sickle la the right baud, nnd arm resting on a
shoaf of wheat: cattle in the distance—purports
to be engraved by Batch, Stiles, Wright At Co.,
NewAork. Fives, on same bank—vig. femalo
and sheaf of grain. Filling up nnd general ap
pearance bad. Twenties, on same bank, altered
from ones—well done. IV c believe tho bank bos
issued no twenties.
At Philadelphia on baturday last, there were
sales of $2OO Penna. Os.@loo.V; 1000 Alleghe

Arctic look out $925,000 in American gold,
$lOO,OOO do. silver; £2,(j73 m English gold,
£463 10s do. silver.
Dollars have declined in Londoa to 6S;d, at
which the lastarrivals from the West Indies were
sold, and which is sd. less than the previous
sales.
. The London Dally News says :
“A remarkable change has taken place in the
prices of Frcaoh bulliou. Gold com nt Pans
bus gone back to par; bar silver has risen 2 per
nulc, Sovereigns 15 centimes, bank notes and
bank post bills have risen 23 centimes, and Mex
ican dollars have fallen 1 centime.''
The bullion in the Bank of England now
reaches 17,824,837 dollars. The English funds
have undergone somo decline, owing to tho state
of affairs in France. Consols, os wo learn by
telegraph from Halifax, dosed on the 17th inst.

■Tho New York Evening Post states that the
contemplated payment of Government on ac
count of the Mexican Indemnity will not disturb
tho money, though it wll keep up the rate of ex
change. The transaction will be simply a trans
fer from the sub-treasury vaults of about $3, -
000,000 in gold to ship-board. The foreign
exchange snarkot cannot supply such an amount
of exchange.

Considerable amounts of the issues of tho
Fanners* and Mcchauica’ Bank of Chestcrtown,

- The. Wheeling Bridge Case*
This question appears to bo kept alive, not
only-hy tho efforts of. the people .Below ns,, but
also by some of our own cotemporaries. We
cannot see the necessity of further discussion,
afterithas been declared by high authority that
the: Tillage of Wheeling has no constitutional
right to make its cinder banks tho head of navi
gation on the Ohio, or to build a pile of stones
at that point to intercept the navigation of the
river-' That their Bridge has this effect, there
is no doubt,- and that they gloated over the suc
cess of their shallow trick has been made mani
fest by their frothy boastß nnd the numerous ac
cidents and obstructions that bavo occurred
since its erection. That it must come down is
a fact decided by the U. S. Court; that it must
come down is a fact fixed in the minds of all
who are in favor of the free navigation of the'
Ohio, and that it shall come down is the deter
mination of all who live above it.
Our lower neighbors might .just os well come
down at once, and, at the same time, take down
their pile of stones, and save the goyernment
the trouble and expense of pulling it down.
The editor of the Madison (la. j Madisonian
w ho wrote home from Washington, that" Hbs&a
Clay preferred Gen Cass for President to any
other man, refers to the contradiction of the
statement, and reiterates itjtn the most positive
terms Wo never doubted, remarks the JlUiany
Atlas, that Mr. Olay would leave behind him
(as every statesman ever connected with it has
done) his malediction against that selfish and
unprincipled combination, which under fbany
disguises has conspired against the good of the
country, and which is now called the Whig party-
The Madisonian says:
1 notico that some of the papers seem to doubt
my statement m regard to Mr. Clay having ex
pressed a preference for Gen. Cass-for President
»n 1862 I cau only say that my statement is ««•
doubtedly true, despite all contradiction. My
authority is undoubted ; it comes direct , and may
>bo implicitly relied npon to the very letter. Not
only has Mr. Clay expressed his preference for
Gen Cass over any other man, but, should ho
die before that election, his views will be given
to the people in writing, expressing bis decided
wish that tho American people would elevate
Gon Cass to that station without any opposition.
“I speak that which ldo know. Time will de
monstrate its truth.
Is it not about time to stop the di6cus
siou about tho cxpences of Kossuth and his
suite ? We are sick of listening to the subject,
aad reading the various statements of the charges
at the “ Mountain House. From what we
know of the matter, it will cost the people of
tho state more than ten times the amount of the
bill in discussion before the legislature will agreo
to pay it- We would, therefore, advise them to.
foot it at once, and bo done with the whole af
fair.

It is supposed that Carvajal has not over 400

1,000 men and two iwelvo-pou nd howitzers, was

number of the residents of Ulster county, New
York, asking (or the Presidents interposition in
favor of tho Irish exiles now confined in tho Bri
tish penal colonies:
Wasiiibgton, Monday, Fcoruary 2, 1842.
DeabSiu: I am m receipt of your favors of
the 20th and 27th ultimo, together with the ac
companying petitions, soliciting the intercession
of this Government with that of Great Britain
for tho llberrtion of tho Irish prisoners now in
exile for political offences growing out of the re
volt of 1848, and I havo dircotcd them to bo
hied in tho Department of State.
Although tho early and long settled policy of
this Government must necessarily preclade this
matter from being made the ground of any offi
cial action on#its part, yet lam happy to say
that such measures havo already been taken to
accomplish tho object sought by the petitioners
as it was thought were most likely to procure
(he desired result. Accordingly, the Socrctary
of State has with my approbation, addresed a
priYato letter to our minister in England, re
questing him to make every effort in tho case
that be could with propriety.
I ehall contiuue to do what I can consistently
with tho honor and dignity ol our country, and
sincerely hope that the strong desires of their
frieuda in this country may soon bo gratified by
their rcleaso.
Very respectfully and sincerely, yours,
MILLARD FILLMORE,
Wm. 11. Roiieyn, Esq., Kingston, N. Y.
The London correspondent of tho North Amer
ican writes Jan. 9th :
The formidable strike bo long threatened by
the English operative engineers, machinists, and
all mechanics hitherto employed in the great en
gineering establishments of this country, has al«
ready actually commenced. Tho employers re
fuse to acoede to the demands ot their workmen
to abolish piece-work and over-time, and to
morrow, the 1 Oth, all their establishments will
be entirely dosed. It is easy to see what avast
amouut of misery this movement will cause : but
it is a hard case when the innooent suffer equally
with their guilty companions. Thirty thousand
tirst class workmen will, from thisdato, be idlers
in the metropobs and m the provincial towns.—
Operatives in other branches of manufactures
also threaton to Btnko and join the Amalgamated
Sooiety. From the fuods of this Society it is
proposed to open establishments for self employ
ment, without the intervention of masters; but
suoh a system cannot L&Bt. Arbitration will pro
bably fiually bo resorted to for tho settlement of
tho present dispute.

Young Kossutti aa Edllon
The following account of Newspaper Editing
under difficulties, is from the-early life of the
Hungarian hero, in Kossotii and MA generals,
with introduction by Hoo. Henry J. Raymond ;
in press of Phinnoy & Co.
Kossuth first took part in the affairs of the
country at large in 183 G. He was then sent to
the Diet as tho substitute of an absent magnate.
In that capacity he held a soat in thochamberof
Deputies; but the Laws then gave no influence to
this kind of substitute. He shortly after left his
post. All the greater becamo his influence and
authority by tho publication of a periodical enti
tled, Reports of the Diet.” At that time tho
extremely strict Austrian censorship canceled ev
ery free word. Tho proceedings of the Diet
either did not appear before the public at all, or
at best only in a mutilated form. The want of
more accurate information in tins respect was
generally felt throughout Hungary, and by none
more than by Kossuth, whose whole soul was al
ready striving after freedom, and after all those
means by which his holy treasure ooold be at
tained. He accordingly resolved to publish, in
manuscript under the abovo title, all tho speeohes
and proceedings of the Diet. For this purpose
he learned stenography, and employed a number
of short hand writers. Although the expense of
writing made his paper very costly, it received
a largo number of subscribers, and soon becamo
the first and most powerful of the public agents
in the field, on the side of tho country and its
constitutional interests. He made an attempt to
give his paper a wider circulation by having it
lithographed, but hemot with hindrances on ov
ery hand. The press was at last arbitrarily con
fiscated, iwd he was again restricted to its dis
tribution in manusoript.
Breaking of the Gorge BeJow— Arrival of
' sew Orleans Boats.
Early in the morning the steamers .J. M. Clen
denin nod Sonora, from New Orleans, reached
port, bringing large freights. These boats left
New Orleans together on the tenth of last month.
The Clendenin, in addition to a considerable
amount of freight, had her cabins filled with
passengers, among whom wore a very consider
able number of returned Californians. Many
of the latter left when the boat was compelled
to lie up on account of the ice, and came over
land to tko city.
Tho Clendenin was at Natchez on Monday the
12th ult., a day that will be long remembered in
that region, on account of its intense coldness.
The freezing was so rapid that in a short time
tho water pipes of the boats were perfectly con
gealed.
The first of tho running ice was met about 7o
miles below Memphis, and for five hundred miles
tho Clendenin was forced to encounter and com
bat with this serious impediment to navigation.
Her staunch construction, however, over-came
every obstacle, and sho reached the foot of the
gorge, at Grand Tower, in perfect safety. At
this place she was detained twelve days.— >SL

Tho correspondent of tho London Chronicle,
■writing from Alexandria, under date of tho 6th
nit., says
On the 24th, the first passenger steamers for
Assyrian anil intermediate ports, left Cairo, tak
ing a goodly number of touriatß, of whom a
great proportion were American gentlemen.
On the day following, an unfortunate fracas
occurred botween a party of six Americans, who
had arrived near Cairo from this city in one of
the usual passenger boats of the country, and
tho native inhabitants of a suburban village,
called Embayba, arising out of a dispute bo
tween the latter and tho crew, respecting some
presumed trespass, whioh ended in a resort to
fire-arms. About n dozen shots were exchang
ed, and some of both parties were badly wound
ed, but no lives lost. It appears the American
gentlemen were grossly mal-treated, because
they interfered to protect their people, and tboir
conduct has been borno ont m the investigation
. which followed.

the liitckenmg removed, which soon returned ana left
me in u« bad a coodiuon as before. At this stage of the
complaint I made application to several of tbo most
emmentzneincal men, who informed me that “my eyes
would never gel well.” At this time I could not distin
guish any object. By- the advtce.ef some friends I com
menced the use of the Petroleum*, both internally and
locally,under which my eyes hnye itftproveddaily until
the present time, and f have recovered my sight entire

Petroleum, and I attribute the restoration of my sight to
its use. I reside ar No. 102 Second street, in this city,
