Choosing a Wife. --Very wise piano
.phers have given to the world their no
tion.; about choosieg a wife; but some of
these same philosopliers never had wives,
inasmuch as some wouldn't and some
couldn't get them. Philosopher's notions
about matrimony, however, are entitled to
no confidence, for, being a henpecked set,
what they say is always sour and severe.—
Bid a lady lays down the following in

The exact mink 'cannbt
told until the meeting of the Lesislature.
An matters now etatd it is believed that
the Democrats heave carried the `Senate
six., and the liquse of RepresentativesLy
from two to . five majority. There are fif
teen or twenty vacancies in the Senate,
caused IT neither party getting a majority
of Oa the votes given in for Senators.—
These vacancies are to be filled by the e.
lection of Senators by both Houses in joint
meeting, When'this shall have been done,
then the House sends up to the Senate two
of the four candidates for Governor who
received the greatest nuinber of votes at
the late election, and the Senate elects one
of them Governor:
If the Democrats have a inajo,rity of
the Legislature, es •e have scpriosed,
Marcus Morton; - the Democratic candi
date, will, without doubt, be elected Gov
ernor; fur no democrat will vote against
The Whigs have run the Democrats
quite close in Ma.sachusetts. MORTON
(Derr) leads IDAvrs (Whig) only about
1,700; and the Demodrats haVe- not more
than five majority in the House of Rep
iesentatives. The Democrats would have
had a large majority in the House, if it had
not been for Boston, which elects thirty
six members, who of course, are all whigs.
The Warehousing System, which is so
strongly advocated by the Press of New
York, without distinction of party, is thus
explained by the Aurora. It is thus that the
duties on foreign goods shall not be levied
until they are ectered for consumption.—
During- the interval between the time of
arrival and of entry, the imports would re—
main in public warehouses, subject to cer•
taro prescribed charges fur storage, Scc.--;
This is "the warehousing system," as prac
tised in England; and" it will no doubt be
adopted by Congress, :should the plan of
requiring cash duties be persevered in.
.11 Strike. —We learn that the coal-dig
gers of the village of Minersville have
struck for higher wages and have been off
wotk since Monday. We have not learn
ed the particulars of their wrongs, but
know that they h ore ample cause for stand'
ing out for better pay. The wages paid
to miners have been reduced to'etarvation
point, and we only regret that, in our
opinion, this general turn out will be more
productive o f evil than good-dough we
hope for the best.
Stage Sccident. —On Saturday morning,
the Beaver stage stopping at the Washing.
ton Hotel, in St.. Clair (greet, to rake in a
couple of passengers, one of the wheels
run into the mouth of the conduit and got
fast. The horses broke loose from the
harness and scattered in every ,direction,
leaving fragments of their riggjng on their
way. One of them ran against a wagon in
Fifth street and received a severe wound
which will prove fatal. No person was
hurt. Another set of horses and a stage
was taken by the driver.

The distar.ce of Sat River from Caps TJWII LS',

clock it was ascertained that the nameol the un
fortunate vessel was the Abercrombie, from Lon
don, with 500 rank and file of her Majesty's 91st.
regiment ordered hone. She had also on board
a band from the Cape Corps. The Abercrombie
arrived at Table Bay on Tbursdny last, and after
landing some of the officers, was to proceed to'
A'gea Bay to land the 91 t. She was a splendid
vessel,fitted up expressly as a transport ship.
About 7 o'clock his Exe,...:l2ncy Sir Geo . Napier
arrived and the beach soon presented.a very ani

present, besides one ot the 21st who hod obtained'
leave t) go on shore. The vessel having been
driven on shore at high water, we soon were able
to communicate with her and although this fine
ship will become a total wreck, not a life was , lost
and every soldier was landed during the day.liteb

was tho'convict ship Waterloo, which ha! arrived
during the week, for tile,purpose of provisioning,
on her way to Sydney`i with about 240 male cone
victs, a guard of 30 soldlers, 5 women and 43
children, with the crew about 339 souls.
She lay in a very precarious situation. She
was within three yards of the breakero, but it was
thought she might hold until the weather moder- 1
ated, when she might be turned off. Under this
impression, the vast multitude which' lied as..siern- , ,

It is believed that all the difficulties in
relation to the clairnsof American citizens,
against Mexico, will be satisfactorily set—
tled.
Santa Anna had retired to his estate at
Mango itis Claw) leaving in his stead Gen.
Mayo. It is understood that bad health
is the cause of this step.
It is generally believed in Mexico - that
Santa Anna was opposed to all the projects
for a new constitution proposed by the
Constituent Congress, all of which were
federal in their character.
Land Sales.—The people of lowa are
holding public meetings for the purpose of
petitioning the President to postpone the
land sales. advertised la take place in Feb

which the sales are ordered, and the con
sequent hardships to which it will subject
the settlers who will be compelled VI at
tend from a great distance to bid for the
_lends they have improved, The memori

News :nom Galveston to the 23th. of Nov. has
been 'received in New Orleans: The news !rum
the west is somewhat contradictory. By sonic ac
counts the army is represented to'be cheerful and
ready to march; others say that many arc dis
posed to return home, an account of the lateness
of the sea eon. They are about 1500 strong, and
are encamped in Metina,some twenty miles be
yond an Antonio. There is a plentiful supply of
beef and corn in the camp. Muth aid is antici•
pated from the Camanches and Apacoes, in case
of ail invasion of Mexico, should the treaties
which are now in prvg'css with thcse tribes be
satisfactorily concluded. Flaco, a warrior of the
Lipan tribe, with about 70 warriors, is now in the
army at the west.
It is thought that the diplomatic intervention of
bath the United States and English governments
in bringing Mexico to terms of peace will prove
unavailing.
Gen-James P. Henderson killed Napoleon B,
Garneroat San Augustine •abaul two weeks ago,
by shooting him with a double barrelled gun. Gen

The deceased lad three ' - wounds inflic
ted by av dagger, which, it appears from
the evidence,
_Nibs Hamblin wore •Ps an
essential pait of her- costume of a page,= in
which she was attired at the time. Two
of these w )unds were in the tight arm,and
the other on the left side,tetween the false
ribs and the iliac region,obliquely upwards
penetrating two or three inches in the di
rection of the stomach and 1 . the spleen, and
enteting the stomach on the anterior- sur
fans. It appealed, however, to the post
mortem examination, that there had been
an aneurism on the abdominal aorta,whieh
also might have been rupture.} by other
aßencies—anger. excitement, &G.; and as
Dr. Levert testified that he had seen in
stances of recovery after greater iiajories
to the stomach than Ewing received from
the dagger, the jury, by their verdict of
acquittal, seemed to charge his death upon
the aneurism.
