The Chancellor of the Exchequer had pro
duced a sensation in the House or Commons
by proposing that llio Princess Royal should
Lave a marriage portion of 10.000, and an
allowance of 8000 a year. The reigns of
George II. and George III. were adduced as
precedents as to the practico in such cafes.
Mr. Roebuck regarded such proceduuts as
absurd, and moved an amendment.
The members of the House, however, were
impatient to vote, and after Lord John Rus
el had spoken against him, declined going
to a division, and the moliou was agreed to.
The Globe has been give to understand
that Mr. Thomas liuring will be the new

SPAIN.
Advices, from Madrid bavo been received
in Paris, announcing the settlement of the
dispute betweon Spain and Mexico, on the
10th iustaut. After the ratification of the
treaty, Mr. Lnfraqua will remain as the
M ini'ittor of Mexico. A nother despatch says
there is every probability of a pacific adjust
ment of the differences between Spain aud
Mexico.
M. Lafraqua, the Mexican Envoy, arrived
at Madrid ou Thursday.
The later despatches were said to be of a
satisfactory kind, and there is little doubt
that, as a favorable disposition exists on both
sides, which is zoalouHly cucouraged by the
Kuelish and French Ambassadors at Madrid,
the affair will terminate amicably. In that
case the greater part of the troops tout out
to the Gulf will be kept at C uba to strength

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.
In tbe treaty concluded between Persia
and Russia, the latter renounces all claims
to the money which Persia owes, and iu re
turn receives two pieces of laud, one on the
Caspian Sea, aud the other in the Eastern
part of Russia, both of them, for strntageti-i-al
reasons, are of the highest importance to
Russia. The Emperor was highly satisfied
with tho General who made the treaty.
This cession of land, and other intrigues
connected with it, may account for the British
proceeding oguinst Persia.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR, DATED
JONKS IIoTKL, 1
27, 1857. J
Philadelphia, May
Warm weather bas ot last set in, but it is
doubtful whether summer bas succeeded
winter or spring. Business is reviving and
things have again.' assumed their positiou
fitted for the seasou. The legislature having
adjourned, perhaps a majority of the members
have visited this city on their way home.
The last session was one of tho longest, and
pcrliups, one of the most remarkable recorded
in the annals of the State. The bill for the
sale of the main line of the public works,
will, of itself, form an epoch, while the defeat
of the Sunbury A Erie bill, which was got up
in connection with it, will render tho former
bill unpalatable with many who would other
wise have bceii sutisfied with the Bale, if be
lieving that it required the transfer of the
whole linn. The exchange weuld be a good
one, if it resulted in the completion of tho
Sunbury A Erie road.
I am pleased to learn from good authority
that measures are in progress which will re-
stilt iu the completion of the Philadelphia &
Sunbury Railroad, or making the connection
with the Mino Hill road. Fortunately the
present board have not only the inclination,
but possess tho requisite means necessary to
complete this important improvement. The
Mine Hill company is ready to complete the
largest portion of the short link necessary to
complete the connection of the two roads.
This will stimulate our Shamokin friends and
aid in tho onward progress of the whole
region.
There are also measures in progress liere,
in relatiou to important improvements in
Sunbury, which unfortunately, bavo been
hitherto in the hands of individuals wholly
incompetent to discharge the duties assumed.
The work is likely to come into the hands of
men who are able and willing to carry out
the original design of the compnny, and which
I may refer to more particularly hereafter.
In coming from New York, on Saturduy
last, considerable attention was attracted to
one portion of the boat, tbe cause of which
I soon discovered to be the tall and com
manding form of Lieutenant Gcnerul Winfield
Scott, the greatest military captain of the
age. I was stuuding along sido of a friend,
one of the tallest men on board, who wus a
full head toller than myself, und he close by
the Ueneral, who iu turn overshadowed him
in size uud height at least a head. The old
hero stood as firm and erect as a column,
reluctantly listening to a noisy and Mustering
fellow, who had served und.r him in Mexico,
und who was telling thu General of soino of
his last adveutures in Nicaragua, uuder
Walker, at which the old hero shook his head
Gcuerul Scott must now be about 70 years of
age, and although his carriage bearing was
firm and dignified, his cautious steps indicated
that old age was making rapid inroads on his
vigorous frame. A large and manly furui is
by some supposed to be, if not a necessary
concomitant for a commander, at least a great
advantage. Napoleon, who wag a man of
smull stature, wus certuiuly an exception.
His remark to (Jen. Kleter, who hud caused
some dissension among his brother officers,
was characterittic of the man. "General,"
said he to Klaber, "you are a beaJ taller than
your comrades, take care thut you do not
lose thut distincti in."
Tho project of building a now hotel on the
corner of 9th and Chestnot streets, opposite
the Girard House, is likely to be consumma
ted. It will be culled the "Peon Manor
Hotel," aud will cost, including the ground,
nearly a million of dollar to complete and
furnish it.
The President has not yet sncceeded in
getting a Governor for Utuh. The killing of
Eider Orson Pratt by Hector II. McLean, of
New Orleans, whose wife bad been led away
by the Mormon iniquity, is ouly a foreruuuer
of what we may expect when the day of re
tribotioo comet to liana.

ANOTHER STARTLISO TRAGEDY ELDER
PRATT, THE MORMON, KILLED.
Seduction of a Wife in California 'Sh Di-
terti her Husband Steals Away her CMi
dren, and is Sealed as thi Ninth Concubint
to her Debaucher,
We have to record to-day another painful
narrative of Mormon iniquity, seduction and
villainy, fodowed up In this instance, however,
rb it will be seen, by a summary vengenance
rrom the injured husband, me account woicu
we publish below is taken from the Van Bureo
(Ark.) Intelligencer, and gives in brief the
facts of the case pretty much as they have
occurred. From tho Fort Smith Herald and
the New Orleans Bulletin, we also have con
firmation of the whole story np to the last
act in tho drama, the tragic death of Elder
Pratt, tbe Mormon Apoetle. Thus it will
be seen what utter ruin and devastation has
been wrought in a virtuous family by the
designing acts of a aainly scoundrel, and tbe
lures of a false and licentious faith. Here is
what tho Van Duron luteliigencer records of
tho termination of tbeanair:
"Tsaoical It is with regret that wehava
to chronicle tho homicide, committed in our
vicinity on Wednesday las-, by Mr. Hector
II. McLean, late of Sun Francisco, Califor
nia, upon the person of a Mormon preacher.
More than all do we deplore the melancholy
affair that led to its commission. The der
ceased, whose name was Parley Parker
Prolt, was a man of note among the Mor
mons. nnd indirinir from his diary aud leticti
to Mrs. McLean, was a man of more than
ordinary ability. He had beeu a preacher
und missionary of tho Mormons in ban l rau
cisco. California, where he made the acquain
tance of Mrs. McLean, whom be induced to
embrace the Mormon fuith.
"She was at thut time living with her hus
band, Hector McLean; they were happy and
prosperous tititil he made tho acquuititanc
of Pratt and embraced the Mormon faith.
She is tho mother of three children by Mc
Lean, two boys and a girl, and scorns to be
un intelligent and interesting lady ; converses
fluentlv. and with more grace aud ease than
most ladies. About two years ago, and soon
after she become a convert to Mormonism,
she made on attempt to abduct two of her
children to Utah, but was detected and pre
vented bv her brother, who was then in Col
ifornia, am) residing with his brother-in-law,
McLean. She soon aRer, however, tound
meuns to elope with said Pratt to Suit Luke,
where, it is said, she became bis ninin wile.
"After the elopement of Mrs. McLean, her
parents, who reside near New Orleans, wrote
to McLean, in California, to send tbe clnl
dren to them. He did so. Several months
after this Mr. McLean received news that his
wife had been to her father, in Now Orleans
and eloped with the twoyouiiRestchildren.
lie immediately left Sun Francisco for New
Orleans, and on arriving at the house of bis
f'alher-in.luw, he leurncd from them that M rs,
McLean bud been there, aud after an ineffec
tual effort to convert her father and mother
to Mormonism, she pretended to abandon it
herself, aud so far obtained tbe confidence of
her patents, n to luduce them to entrust her
in the city of New Orleans with the children,
but tbey soon found that she had betrayed
thoir confidence and eloped with the children
"lliev then wrote to McLean iu ban t-ran
citco. who. upon the receipt of their letter,
went to New Orleans, nnd learning from them
the above facts in relation to the ntluir, mi
mediately started in pursuit of the children
He went to New York, then to St. Louis
While in St. Louis, he learned that the woman
and children were in Houston. Texas. On
his arrival in Houston, he found that his wife
had left some time before his arrival, to join
a urire party ol Mormons, en route Tor Ltan
He then returned to New Orleans, and from
there to i ort Gibson, in the Cherokee N ation
with the expectation of intercepting his wife
and children at thut point.
'On arriving at Fort Gibson, and while
there, he found letters in tho Post Office to
his wife from Pratt, pome of which were
mailed at St. Louis, and others at Flint Post
OQice, Cherokee Nation. We are unable to
trive the contents of these letters with par
ticularity, but they contained the fact that
McLean was on the lookout for her and the
children, and that thy were betrayed by tho
Apostates and Gentiles, and advising her to
bo cautious in her movements, anil not to let
herself be known only to a few of the Saints
nnd Klders. McLean then, upon affidavit
made bv himself, obtained a writ from tho
United States Commissioner at that place
for their arrest, nnd snrceeded in getting
them arrested by the United States Marshul
i hey were brought to this place for trial, and
alter an examination before the Commin.siuner,
were discharged.
"Pratt, ns soon as released, mounted tits
horse and left the citv. McLean soon after
obtained a horse and started in pursuit, and
overtook Prutt about eight miles Irom the
city and shot him. Pratt died in about two
hours after receiving tha wound, i tus is
plain nnsrative of the facts, as we heard them
trom the most reliable sources, winch we give
to our readers without comment, as wo leel
thut we are unable to do so with justice to all
parties. But deeply do we sympathize with
McLean iu the uiilortnnate condition in which
Mormon villainy and fanaticism has placed
him."

Washington, June 2.
Capt. Davis, of the U. 8. ship St. Mary's,
in recent official despatches to the Govern
ment, says it was the opinion of those who
had better means of knowing than himself,
that a month before they were written, Gen.
Walker conld at anv moment have rased tba
ncmy's lines and maintained himself In the
open country. Since then the desertions
nava been numerous and rreqnent, noi ooiy
demoralising his army in number, but in
character, that toward the end of April, the
only resort left for Walker was to cut his
way down to tbe coast aud take refuge if pos
sible on board the schooner Granada. Ac
cording to the best intelligence, such an
attempt would only have been tne laBt enori
oi oeppair, and nave icrunuaieu laiau; iu
less than five miles from Kivas.
The tune, therefore, had arrived for deter
miotner on the course to be pursued in the
case anticipated in instructions received by
Capt. Davis in January last, that is, in 11 a
event ol tbe expulsion or alker and ins
forces from N icaragua by the allied armies,
and his departure to the adjacent territory
in Central America, tor the purpose or hos
tile and nccressive operations. The reason
assigned by Capt. Davis, for the seizure of
tho Granada, is, that the vessel had lost her
nationality, was belligerent, and should not
therefore pass his guns.
Onr city is quiet, though there yet exists
mnch bad feein g. The Light Artillery are
still here, but there is no sign of a renewal of
the disturbances.

It is said that there is a man in Tomfret,
Wisconsin, whose sire is 130 years. He is
callod "Old Crele," and was born in Mon

117 years. He was married in New Orleans
a century ago, nnd now resides with one of
his grandchildren, who is upwards of jaixty
years old. Ho is still "hale and hearty," and
does not appear to be over seventy.

ARREST OF A SlIPrOSr.D MURDERER-
The Harrisburg Telegraph of the 17th ill t
says : A man by the uamo of William Wil
hams was brought to town this morning, in
charge of officer Nolon, of Wiseonisco, having
been committed by Justice Jrerree, of Hie
sumo township, on suspicion of tbe murder
ot Daniel llenncK, at Hear uap, on or anoui
tbe 3d of this month. V illiums is a Macbin
ist who has been employed in that vicinity for
some time, and always been regarded as a
suspicious character. The body of the m :t
dered man was lound a lew days ago m a pi t
vate path, leading to tbe coal mines, and upon
an investigation, two boles were found in his
body, which were examined by a physiciun
and both found to have been made by gravel
stones shot from a rifle.
A coroner's inquest being hrdrt) verdict
was given in accordance with the above tacts
When discovered the body was lying in a se
eluded part of the path, and looked as if the
man had fallen asleep there, w hich the ducuv
erors supposed, until they approached nearer,
fu-picion wa mt onie cast upon Williums, from
the tact O! his having been last seen with Hen
rick in that neighborhood, and on further in
vestigation a watch was obtained from him,
known to have belonged to the deceased, and
which he could not give a satisfactory account
of how he had icceived it. Further evidence
was brought against him, from the fact that
about the time Henrick disappeared, he had
borrowed a gun and gone into the woods with
him, where he ackn iwledg, d thut he had fired
it several times. We learn that other evi
dence can also be produced, showing clearly
thai he is guilty ol tne murder, the case
will probably come up At the next term of
Court, when it Will be fully investigated, and
tho truth of the matter evolved. Williams is
a ruffianly looking character, and if his ap
pearance portrays his disposition, we do not
think he would hesitate to commit a deed like
that he is charged with.

no census was taken, the representation is al
lowed on the list of voters by the old election
books for other counties. A letter hud been
written to acting Gov. Stanton, asking for an
election by precincts. He replied that he
could do nothing iu the matter, there being
no law to supply thu omission. A card hus

Six Persons Killed and nearly Thirty Wound
ed Intense Excitement.
Washington, June 1.
There were serious disturbances at several
of tV.e voting places to-day. The Mayor ob
tained from tho President au order to call
oat two companies of Marines having had
stated to him, upon the representation of
creditable citizens, thut a baud of lawless
persons most of them non-residents had
attacked one of the polls at which tho annual
election was in progress, aud after maiming
twenty good and peaceable citizens, had dis
persed the Commissioners of Elections and
threatened further violence in any attempt to
carry on the election.
The Mayor directed the Marines to proceed
to the Northern Liberties, whither the rioters
had conveyed a swivel. He then commanded
them to disperse, informing them that the
troops were there solely to preserve peace.
This order they tauntingly disregarded, when
thu swivel was wrested from its possessors.
Ono Marine was shot.
The most fearful alarm prevailed. Fre
quent shots were being fired by the rioters.
The Marines returned the fire, and it was
soon discovered that five or six persons were
killed, and twice as many wounded. The
larger portion of them were innocent, so fur
as can be ascertained. The verbal accounts of
the particulars are extremely contradictory.
The city was thrown into a fever of excite
ment. J he occurrence is everywhere dis
cussed. The Marines were still in reserve at
the City Hall.
Washington, June 2.
A large meeting was held to-night in front
or the City tl all. the speakers were Gun.
McCalla, Dr. Clayton and Councilman Lloyd
all of the American party, wbo denounced
the killing of persons by the Mariues on tbe
eiectiou as a cruel, cowardly and
massacre of the innocent, and tbe
conduct of tbe Executive authorities as
trampling under foot the sacred rights of
citizens and the laws of order. Mr. Lloyd's
advice to b prepared for tbe next attack
elicited spontaneous cheers of approbation.
At the same time he invoked them to a pre
servation of the peace.
A committee of two from each ward was
appointed to prepare suitable resolutions,
and call an adjourned meeting after inquests
on all the victims hud been concluded. In
quests have already been had in two of the
cases ; and three witnesses swore that an
otder bad been given to tha Marines to Gre
by Mayor Magiuder after tbe swivel bad been
taken rrom tha rioters.
Preliminary measures hay been taken to
bring tb matter to a judicial investigation.
Tbe Mayor's conduct was severely condemned
by tbe meeting. Tbey separated with cheers
