The steamship America arrived off tho har

wharf until this morning, owing to a dense
fog which prevailed.
The growing crops of grain throughout the
kingdom continued promising, though the
harvest may be later than the average of the

there in conseqnenco of the -arrival of an
American Squadron in the Tagns, to enforce
the claim of 810,000. Twenty-one days
were allowed by the American commander
for a reply. Fears wore entertained of a re

Louis Phillippo is said to bo dying of can

Sir Robert Peel was killed, on tho 2'Jth of
June, by being thrown fiom hi horse.
The sudden and violent death of Sir Robert
Peel caused a great sensation in England and
France. The English papers aro filled al
most to the exclusion of everything clue, with
extended notices of tho life and chaiacter of
the late Premier, and with (peculations as to
the effects of his death will have upon the
politics of his country. The particulars of
his death are thus stated :
On Saturday evening, Juno 29th, whilst
proceeding from his residence in Whitehall
up Constitution Hill, his horse suddenly shied
at something passing, kicked up his heels,
and threw Sir Robert over his head on his
face. Although rendered insensible by the
fall, Sir Robert retained hold of the icius;
and the animal thus checked lost his footing,
and fell heavily upon the top of tho baronet.
Several gentlemen passing, rendered tho ne
cessary assistance, and the Ex-Premier was
placed in a carriage, and removed to his
residence Whitehall in a stato of insensi
bility. All the medical talent of London was
soon at his lerviec. Their united efforts were
unavailing. After lingering till eleven o'

In reply to an offer by Lord John Russell,

COMPLIMENT TO OIR COlM'R'x".
English ond American Stntrsmrn.
John Bright, the well known freo trader
and reformer, and the colleague of Richard
Cobden, recently mado a speech in Manches
ter, England, in which he ridiculed tho favo
rite doctrino of "hereditary Statesmen," in
a vein that no one could misunderstand.
Our self-made men our Washington our
Franklin and tho American Senate, signal
ized by such minds as Webster, Clay and
Cass, aro all alluded to with respect and love
which all nations must feel, and which sends
a thrill of pride into our countrymen :
"We will take another case to show that,
after all, these hereditary statesmen have no
great reason lo plume themselves. We will
no to another country. In tho year 1775
England had very extensive colonies on tho
other side bf the Atlantic. Ten years after
wards these were colonies no longer, but
stood forth before the world as an indepen
dent and a growing Republic. Now, I would
ike to know where America got her states
men from. : It is quite clear that up to 1775
people in this country I mean Lord North
and the statesmen of that day never sup.
posed for a moment that thero were any
statesmen in tho Colonies of America; but
yet, somehow or other, they found statesmen.
There was a man named Georgo Washington.
(Loud cheers.) Now Georgo Washington
wag a sort of neighbor of ours, -because his
family emigrated from Cheshire. In his own
country ho would not have been a statesman
that is very certain. ("Hear, hear," and
laughter.) But if you will go down through
the whole list of American Presidents, fiom
Geo. Washington, their first, to Zachary Tay.
lor, their present President, I should like to
ask whether, if you take the whole of thorn,
they do not equal in character, in agacity,
in patriotism, and in having acquired and de
served an ending fame, as that of any prime
minister we have had from Lord North to
Lord, John Russell. (''Hear, hear." and
cheers) Well, in this country, it is thought
necessary to havo very distinguished men
men of great and high birth adequately to
represent the British notion at foreign courts
with about 10 000 a year. (Cheers and
laughter.) .
The Americans had an ambassador once,
named Franklin and he is a man that will
be thought of long, even after a great many
English ambassadors havo been forgotten.
Lately, in this country, we had Mr. Bancroft)
ambassador from the United States a man
who has written one of the most, peihapsthe
most, admirable history of his own country
a man qualified in every respect to represent
the true worth and dignity of the Republic to
which he belongs. Well, I want to know
whether, if you trace all the American am
bassadors from Franklin to Bancroft, they are
not fit to stand side by side in the page o!
history wiih the aristocratic ambassadors
which this country has sent out to foreign
court 1 (Cheers.) But now we will go to
the American Sunate. It is considered low
on this side of the country to go into detail on
thj matter. It is not considered quite dis
cieel, seeing that we live under our glorious
constitution. :.( Hoar, hear.) Now the Ameri
can Benate answers in some respects, but in
4 ry slight degree indeed, u our House- of
Ltfd; that in, il is what is called "upper
house;" it is a representative assombly, and
jt consists of two members for every Slate in
the Union. It consists now, I .believe, of
sixty members. Hear in mind it is an eleo
live assombly. It dare oppose the will of
the House of Representees ; it txarts as great
an influence ovor public opinion in America
as the House, and perhaps a greater influence.
There cart bo no doubt that the existence of
that Senate has been one of the main causes
of the consolidation of the great American
confederation, and of the' very wise and jnat
policy which on the whole, that confederation
has observed. Look at their house of Repre
sentatives. Bills in that house are not passed
by one-fourth of its members j they do not
eome down in their white waistcoats at half
past 11 o'clock, and vote they know not how,
and can not how, so that they follow tho par
ticular man whom they supposo to be tho
leader of their party. There i infinitely hot
ter attendance in the American House of Re
presentatives than is in the House of Com
mons in this country, and an infinitely better
and more real attention to tho interests and
to the wants of the constituencies.
"Now, look ; this republic has existed sev
enty years people said it would not exist
seventy months. It has had, in all that time,
about four years of war. It has no national
debt. (Hear, hear.) There is just now some
our or fivo millions of existing deficiency,
means of paying off which are about to be
provided. They do not incur a debt without
iakin2 steps to ray it off aaiti. But from
1T92 lo 1815, a period of not moro than S3
years, under your elorious constitution, with
your hereditary House of Lords, with tho
Commons representing the lords and not trie
people ; (cheers) we have added to our na
tional debt moro than 580 million pounds
sterling. (Shame, shame.) In America they
have fow taxes compared with what we have;
(hcy have not the interest of that enormous
debt to pay; and they have not an enormous
standing army and a fleet lo scour every sea
and to bully and insult on every coast.
(Cheers.) They have an nrmy no greater
than we pay for in Canada at this moment i
and therefore, they are free from the interest
of that debt, and free from tho vast amount
o 17 or IS millions, which we pay annually
for our peace armaments. And bear in mind,
that although in America eight or ten mil
lions por annum aro not entrusted to a favor,
ed sect for tho purpose of instrusling the peo
ple in morality and religion there is no evi
dence to show that tho people of the United
Slates of America aro not at least as moral
and religious, and much better educated, than
the people of this country aro. (Cheers.)
And they have less pauperism, nnd lesscrime
than wo have; and they have less of that
which is a standing disgrace to the constitu
tion of England they have less ol insurrec
tion." The Reading Gav.clte of the 20i inst., says
tho heavy rain which has fallen almost with
out intermission since Monday, has 'caused a
great freshet in tho Schuylkill river, and to
gethcr with tho violent galo of wind on
Thursday night, carries with it immense de
struction to property. We came from Phila.
delphia in last evening's train, and thus were
witness to the fearful height which tho wa
ters of tho Schuylkill had attained. Between
Manayunk and Ph'unixville, where tho river
appeared to be most swollen, the water was
eighteen feet abovo its ordinary level, and still
rising. At Manymik wo observed a breach
in the Canal about fifty foet wide, and from
that point up. to Plicrni.vvillo, tho entire canal
was submerged, leaving nothing to mark its
course evcept tho tops of tho lock-gates, and
towing bridges and toll-houses which had not
been swept away. At Conshehocken tho
water was up to the level of tho covered
Bridge across tho Schuylkill, and threatened
to carry it away within tho next hour or two.
Tho Reading Railroad track was here over
flowed for about half a milo to the depth of
several inches, but not suUicicnt to apprehend
danger or interrupt the passago of trains.
Tho Norristown Railroad, wo wore informed
was completely inundated, and all travel upon
it suspended- A great many dwellings and
factories along the whole lino of tha river
were Hooded with water to iho depth of seve
ral feet, and.abandoued by their occupants.
Ascending on Horseback in a Balloon.
All Paris was agog on the 7th inst., to see a
man ascend in a balloon on horseliack. The
horse, a tine and spirited young white horse,
was suspended beneath Iho balloon, in tho
place usually occupied by the car. Bands
passed beneath tho belly ami well secured,
left tho animal in an easy position, with the
legs free. M. Poitevin, clothed as a jockey,
mounted tho horse, which was saddled und
bridled in the ordinary manner, nnd gave or
ders to exit loose! The horso seemed loth to
quit his mother earlh, and remonstrated a
little when he found that he was being. taken
off his feet. But once in the air he became
as motionless as though he had been struck
with paralysis.

OH CAT I IW.MILT AND LOSS OF lT.OI'EKTV.
The heavy rain which commenced early
on Thursday morning, the ISth, and con
tinued wilh little or no intermission, for
thirty-six hours, has caused a rise in the
Susquehanna and its tributaries, almost un
precedented. The Shamokin Creek was
higher thai: it has been for many years.
Some of our farmers along the creek, we re
gret to say, have met with heavy losses.
They were at the time, in the midst of their
harvest, most of their grain being cut and
standiug in the field. We are not able to
estimate the loss generally or particularize
the loss of all the different individual suf
ferers. John Farnsworlh, Esq., whose
farm is about three miles up the creek, in
formed us that upwards of two hundrpd
shocks ol wheat were swept away for him,
and about five tons of hay destroyed. Mr.
J. Culp, we regret to say, lost his whole
crop of wheat. Mr. Bacon lost about 100
bushels ol wheat, or about one-fourth his
crop. Mr. Geo. Armstrong, lost a consi
derable portion of his wheat, besides oats
and corn. Col. John Z. Haas, near town,
has probably sustained the heaviest loss.
His entire crop of oats has been destroyed
and his corn considerably injured. Ilis
greatest loss is probably in the destruction
of his fences, amounting in all probably to
Si00 or $G00. The Mill, we believe, has
sustained no injury. Along the river above
town, Mr. Krum, on the farm of Peter
Maldy, lost an entire field of wheat. Capt.
Hunter's loss we understand, will be about
$300 or $ 100. Mr. Charles Gobin's loss is
much less. In the Dorough, Geo. Weiser,
Esq., weare informed, lost 80 or 90 shocks
of wheat. Messrs. George and Jacob Young
have sustained a heavy loss in the destruc
tion of a tiln of brick, ready for the fire.
Their loss is $300 or $100. The damages
on the North llranch must have been very
heavy in the loss of grain, fee. A large
quantity of grain in the straw floated down
the stream, some of which was brought
ashore at this place and at Northumberland.
Great fears were entertained for the safety
of the rail road bridges between this place
and Shamukin. They have however,
weathered the storm. The damages to the
rail toad is less than we had reason to ap
prehend, though amounting probably to
$3000. Some of the bridges on the Shamo
kin creek have been swept away. The
river on Thursday night rose with great
rapidity, and was within several feet as
high as the freshet of 1S1G. The necessi
ty as well as efficacy of the -embankments
above and below town, was fully tested.
No damage whatever, was sustained from
the Susquehanna. As the danger has now
passed, it would be well to have those em
bankments repaired, and rendered still more
secure.
E7" The Sun bin y Canal Company has sus
tained no damage whatever, nor has tho
Steam Saw Mill of Messrs. Clement & Bowen,
iminediatoly above town.
ITT" The turnpike bridge, known as the
Gut bridge in this place, is to be rebuilt by
the County Commissioners and the Turnpike
Company. We hope a false economy will
not prevent them constructing a bridge that
will prove permanent and durable. Good
and substantial bridges are always the
cheapest in the long run. The embankment
above the Northumberland bridge to tho hill,
is also an improvement that should be mado
without delay.
THE NEW CABINET.
President Fillmore comes into office un
der the most favorable auspices. Ilis cabi
net is a strong one, and is composed ol men
moderate in their views. Mr. Fillmore is a
self made man having risen from humble
circumstances to his present exalted station
by his own energies and good conduct.
From such men we can reasonably expect
good counsels and a wise administration.
We trust we may not be disappointed.
Of Daniel Webster, the Secretary of State,
it may be said, that prabably there is not a
man in the nation whose selection for that
post would give more ample satisfaction to
all parties, and all sections of (he union
He is, in every sense, a Premier.
Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, the Secretary
of the Treasury is at home one of the
most popular men in that great state. A
man whom ho adventitious circumstances
have aided to rise from the humble position
into which he was born.
Edward Bates, of Missouri, Secretary of
War, has been once a member of Congress,
William A. Graham, of North Carolina,
the Secretary of the Navy, has been a Sena
tor of the United States, and Governor of
his native State.
John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, the
Attorney General, might have been the
premier of General Taylor's Cabinet, but
he preferred remaining the Governor of his
native State. Mr. Crittenden ranks next to
Mr. Clay in Kentucky. He, too, has been
a Senator.
The Hon. Nathan K. Hall, the new Post
master General, is a citizen of New York,
and a resident of Buffalo,' where he stands
high in the estimation of the people, and
enjoys the confidence of the Whigs of that
district, whom he has once represented in
Congress. He is Ihe youngest member of
the Cabinet.
EDITOllS, THEIR ILLS AI ENJOYMENTS.
Onr friends of ihe Miners' Journal, allu
ding to our visit to Capo May, think it just
such a placo as Providence designed for the
resuscitation of worn ont editors, but thepoc
ket, that "di?ad abyss of empty rocks," casts
they say, a gloom over such fond anticipa
tions. Tho intelligent editors of so respecta
ble a paper, should always possess a chart
that would enblo them, to run clear of the
rocks, however, high they may appear. A
little philosophy is sometime more potent
than rocks.
Wo observe by our exchanges, that a num
ber of our editorial brelhren are enjoying
themselves at Ihe walering places. Col.
Wallace of the Sun, and Col. Forney of the
Pennsylvanian, wero shining at tho Capes,
the former as tho handsome Colonel, while
Col. Fitzgerald of the City Item, was rustica
ting at tho Brandywino Springs. Which of
Iho two Colonels, Wallace or Fitzgerald, is
tho handsomest, is a question as unsettled as
the explosive properties of salt petre. Friend
Root, has both their pictures in his splendid
gallery of daguerreotypes, and as a special
favor, we peimitted him to take ours, lo
place between the two, in order to split the
differene-o and to neutralize anything like
jealousy.
tC?" A Correspondent over the signature
of Alpha, who has evidently suffered some
from the light artillery of a pair of bright
eyes, has sent us some verses under the ti
tle of "The Eye of Woman," with a request
that we publish it this week. This we
cannot do for several reasons. One of
which is the want of room. Another is
our want of faith in the miraculous powers
described, as well as our objections to the
rhythm and metrical structure of the lines.
j n me second verse lie says:
" c ve traced the authors of Greece and Rome,
Ann miionn all their flowery writings;
We havo not found an epitome,
That speaks of beauty in their teachings."
Alpha must have entirely overlooked
Homer, whose immortal poem was founded
on the wars occasioned by Helen of Troy,
"That beauteous dume, whose heavenly charms,
Kept Troy and Greece ten years in arms."
Besides, no two lines jingle, unless e-pit-o-me
is made to rhyme with Rome by pro
nouncing it ep-i-tome.
The 3d and 4-th verses are as follows:
"The eye's a mark by which we tell.
The beauty, and character of woman ;
And if we wish to know them well,
We cannat choose a better omen.
Sweet eye ! methinks I view it.
Beneath the thickest midnight gloom;
For the deserving it's always lit,
And the exulting hope of love's blest doom.
The eye has certainly much to do with
the beauty of woman, though we believe
the nose is a better index to disposition.
The two concluding lines are entirely
too dark for our mental vision.
In regard to the eye, we are pretty much
of Byron's opinion, who says :
"An eye 's an eye, and, whether black or blue,
Is no great niatter, so l is in request
'Tib nonsense to dispute about a hue,
The kindest may be taken as the beat."
O The arrival of the American steamship
Atlantic at New York in 10 days and 15
hours, has proved her the fastest vessel on
the ocean, by about 11 hours. She was but
six days and one hour from land to land, that
is, from Cape clear to Cape Race. The
American river steamers have long taken
the lead in speed as well as style and splen
dor, but it was not until recently, when the
new steamers of Collin's line from New York
to England, asserted American supremacy on
sea by making the quickest passage on re
cord. O" Paorcssoa WsBSTca k a doomed
man. The day for his execution has been
fixed and will take place on Ihe 30th of Au
gust next. He says ho is resigned to his fate
and wishes his execution as soon as possible,
and to be kept from his family.
f7 The Tide Water Canal has tuffered
but little injury, and the navigation has been
resumed.
JOURNAL.
KF Pottsvilte. The Court House at I
Pottsville is under roof and is rapidly pro
grossing to completion. A bell and clock
have been purchased and will be placed in
the building. When the Court House is
opened for business, we presume there will
be a considerable "blow out," and we should
like, If possible to be there "to see." We
have always had, as the boy says, a "kind
of liking" for Pottsville. Whether it is
owing to first impressions and pleasing re.
miniscenccg of our first visit, some twelve
or fourteen years since, when we were
several years younger, and when pretty
girls and the coal trade were flourishing,
with a good market lor each, or whether
it was the hospitality of its citizens and the
excellence of its hotels, we cant exactly
say, but probably all together. The pros
perity of Pottsville is almost wholly de
pendent on the condition of the coal trade,
but surrounded with such vast mineral re
sources it must always be a place of bust
ness importance.
TF The Cholera. The ravages of this
disease still lingers in some portions of the
Union. It is however principally confined
to the South and West. In Cincinnati,
Louisville, and St. Louis there have been a
number of cases, but they are not near so
numerous as last year.
O The Cuban prisoners have been re
leased by the Spanish authorities, and placed
on board the United States Ship Albany lo
be taken to Pensacola. This settles that af
fair. C7" A Camp Meeting is to be held 6 miles
east of Milton, on Billmyer's farm, on Thurs
day tho 15th of August.
O" The storm and freshet which has been
so destructive herp, has prevailed not only
throughout many of the states, but has ex
tended through Canada.
CP" Henry Clay. The following nc
count of the last speech of this eloquent
and patriotic old man, from tho Ledger's
correspondent, will be read with interest.
He pays a manly tribute to the character of
Gen. Cass.
Mr. Clay also paid a handsome tribute of
respect to General Cass, his military and
civic career, and his "crowning glory," in
repressing prejudice and sentiments which
were pernicious to iho continuance of our
glorious Union. It was he, who had set the
example of toleranco and forbearance to Iho
people of the great Northwest, till it is now-
certain that nine tenths of the people of tho
Northern Slates were in favor of peace and
for a rigid adherence to the Compromises of
the Corsdtution. But after having ihus done
justice to n hoary-headed patriot nnd States
man, Mr. Clay commenced a inking fiie on
tho ultraists North and South, dealing out
Herculean blows, and exhibiting the sottish.
ness and want of consistency as well as Iho
concert of action of tho Disunionists, North
and South. Hero the matter miuht have
ended ; but
"Fools will rush where angels far t tread,''
and so it happened that Barnwell, of South
Carolina, and tho ever ready off-hand John
P. Hale, rushed in to interrupt Iho torrent of
Mr. Clay's eloquent invectives. Mr. Clay
tossed tho ono across two States irto a cotton
field, and landed tho other somewhere, in
Nova Scotia. Mr Clay had attacked Iho
Nashville Convention, just ns Mr. Webster
had attacked it, and called it a disunion
movement, and its address a disunion docu
ment ; only that Mr. Clay, wilh his charac
terislio energy, went a step beyond it, and
denounced the object as treasonable. Ha re
ferred particularly to South Carolina and to a
certain gentleman from that State, whom he
once respected, but w ho had since shown dis
union sentiments which met his deepest dis,
approbation, and which he could not but de.
precato.
Mr. Barnwell immediately got up and d
fended Mr. Rhett. Then Mr. Clay roso nnd
said these remarkable words: '-If Mr. Rhett
has used tha words imputed to him and aels
upon them, ho is a traitor, and I hopo he
will meot a traitor's doom. Now I have
given you my sentiments, make the most of
them." Ho then look up Senator Hale, and
literally pulverized him with ridicule, exhibi
ting his selfishness, and his total want of na
tional elevation. Even Hale admitted after
wards in private that he had been over
whelmed and confounded with the sudden
ness of the attack, and the astonishing readi
ness of repartee and sarcasm of that wonder
ful old man. I do not think Mi. Clay was
ever happier in his palmiest day, nor did he
ever speak with half the same effect.
During Mr. Clay's speech, it was amusing
to see Col. Jefferson Davis, Mr. Yulee and
Mr. Soule supplying Mr. Benton with notes
to make a reply. To these four Mr. Clay
must have leferred When he spoke of lhat
"omnibus," in which rode side by sido "ihe
while man and the negro, Jew and Gentile.'

Mr. Hall, of New York, Postmaster Gen
eral. .
Mr Crittenden, of Kentucky, Attorney
General.
This is not only a Whig Cabinet, but a
stroiis; Cabinet in every sense of tho word.
It consists of three Northern nnd four South
ern men, which is all right, considering that
he President himself is a Northern man.
The members of the Cabinet aro moreover
chosen admirably in regard to their respee.-
ivo talents, and with a view to coutitoractin!;
nfluences, which have been felt too much
during the last administration, leading to con
tinued disaffection, nnd embroiling the dilfer
ent sections of the Union.
Mr. Corwin had tho Treasury Department
or the Interior offered hirn for several days,
but he declined. Vinton was then proposed
in his stead, but his feeble health forbade his
accepting iho offer. If Corwin hail not late
this morning accepted, the office would never
theless have been forced upon him.
Another difficulty Into last evening was in
the appointment of Mr. Hal), of New York,
'o Iho Postmaster Generalship. Six members
of tho New York delegation protested asainst
It, but without effect. Indeed I do not see
what objection there can be to the practice
of having a member in the Cabinet from ihe
e. .
c-uue as mo rresiuenr, anil a rename
mil trustworthy friend of tho Executive. I
Mr. Polk had no objection to Cave Johnson i
on thoso accounts, and Cave Johnson has I
well merited Mr. Pols friendship, lie is a, A" tlZlZ iS fe,
this moment straining every nerve to pre- Kniitliimn. to appear on the. first Monday of Au
servo the Union, nnd to counteract tho traitor- "st nt. nd show cause why the proceeds aria-
ous efforts of Turney to effect a disunion of it.
Mr. Hall's appointment may give ombrage lo
uuveiuur rMjwaru anil ino iwo lnotisanu post-
masters appointed unuer nis nusjiiees; Lmi
beyond that, every body seems to be sati.-licd,
and to acquiesce iit Mr. Fillmore's good sense
and judgment.
Tho appointment of Mr. Hall excludes, of
course, a Pennsylvanian ; but then it was

which connected Governor Johnson with the
United Slates Treasury. The Pennsylvania
Oelejraiioii aro not much pleased with it ; but
then lliey make it np as usual in clerkships,
nuditorships, consulates and the like. N'o
cabinet limber was found in Philadelphia;
and though Mr. McfCennOn was strongly
urj.'Pil, and the whole of yesterday uppermost
in the mind of Ihe President, ho was in the
evening dropped, to make room for a son of
New York. Tho fact is, President Fillmore
wanted to have a conciliation Cabinet, and
for the last mouth it was known that the
Stato administration of Pennsylvania and the
Pennsylvania Whigs here in Congress, wero
all opposed to tho plan of adjustment. New
York to be sure was in Ihe samo "fix," but
Seward is rather a more formidable adversary
than Gov. Johnson.

DOVIKSTIC niXATIO-VS.
The lovers of scandal, "unfortunately quite
numerous in Ibis community," have lately
been gratified wilh a long account of a quar
rel between a Mr. Lawrence and his wife,
prepared by his counsel, and published tirst,
of course, in the New York Herald.
According to the narrative, a Mr. Lawrence
of Boston, Mass., married a Miss Ward, of
Louisville, Ky. Soon after tho marriage, the
husband and wife disagreed about paint, she
being accustomed to and wishing to continue
this decoration, ond he objecting to it as inju
rious in itself, and opposed to the public opin
ion of Boston. Each persisted, she violently
he doggedly, till at last she relented, and de
livered up for confiscation, all her contraband
stock in iho trade of beauty, to wit, twenty
four pink saucers, twenty-four bottles of li
quid chalk, and other articles "too numerous
to mention in this advertisement." She must
have laid it on thick and often! or else such
wares are not easily got in the Boston market!
But instead of burning them, as Napoleon did
smuggled British calicoes, and the Czar does
contraband teas, he seems to have laid them
in her way, as the Devil did rebellion before
one of Shakspeare's heroes, or sheroes; and
she "found it." A daughter of Eve, she
could not resist the tar pent, and "did so
agin." Being suspected, she fibbed, and
stoore to il, which, according to the narrative,
she sometimes did pretty roundly. She fre
quently wrote to "ma" long talesof grievances
till "ma's" blood was np, and the replied in
a style worthy of Talleyrand or Metternich.
She told her daughter lo have her own way,
in all things, and to get it by seeming lo yield .
aud in the same letters, she gave it to the
husband's relatives. And while thus instruc
ting her daughter, she wrote to the husband's
mother, letter full of smiles and conciliation,
and approbation of $onnie -in-law, and condem
nation of Sallie. That woman was made for
a higher sphere! Sho ought to be Trlmo
Minister to the Car or the Kaiser. Matters
growing worse, though "qiiile as well as
oould be expected," she packed up all, and
under pretence of a temporary visit to her
mother, accompanied hei father !o Louisvilkj
whence she soon wrote that she would not
return I Her father proposed that the bus
should settle in Louisville, which he declined.
Soon after this, the husband advertised that;
he would "pay no debts of her contracting
after this date," beginning with the usual
"whereas my wife Nancy, having left mf
bed and board, &o , these are to warn alt
persons, &c." Soon after this -the wife ap
plied for a divorce, and got it; and so these
twain aro no longer one' flesh, man has put
asunder what Heaven does not seem to have
joined, and she is Miss Ward again, and he
is Mr. Lawrence again. Perhaps we may
wish each party joy of iho riddance ; but that
is "no business of ours." Public Ledger.
