Thoughts of W. A. Haven before
for bus Ocean Horne.
1"..5T1..E DOWN.
Oh, when shall my s leave
This perishing form of clay?
Shall it be at thorn or at starlit eve,
At homo or far, far away ? -
Shall it be where-some fairy bower
In fragrance Is melting the air?
Shall it be among the beautiful flowers,
Arid they and me fade together there?
Or shall it be on the ocean's crest,
Far sway on the billow's foam?
Will he rock me to sleep on his- heaving breast,
Gently to sleep, with his rwan ?
Oh, let me not die so iar away,
Away from mother and home;
Wildly she would grieve for her lost saner boy;
No tear -could she shed o'er his grave so lone.
Not a ray-trill beam through the dark, dark wave,
Nor no flowers will bloom on my grave;
But the blue waves will dance on my sleeping dust,
And tiie sea weed my cold form will lave.
Then It matters not if hereafter earth's sod
Or under old oniiala bright foam,
Tho last words will be on my lingering tips.
Mother : dear mother, and borne.
WOMAN'S WILL.
The following beautiful story has been pub
lished in different forms ; but none so good as
the original :
Sir lingo had reached his fiftieth year, un
molestedtby passion, save an ardent one for a
flowing goblet. Instead of love passages his
delight was in tournaments whencehe always
retured victorious. At length 'he was flung
from the Saddle of his indifference by the
beardless filter - love! He saw Angelica the
fairest maiden of the land, forgot his gray
hairs, and unmindful of the incongruity of an
union between May and December, led her
to the nuptial alter. Fortunately, Angelica
Was as modest as she was fair, and her firm
virtue repulsed the numerous butterflies that
swarmed round the opening flowers of her
beauty. Sir Hugo knew the tried virtue of
his consort, and therefore she was to him dear
and precious as the apple of his eye.
One morning he_ rode up to pay a visit to
his neig4oring baron in arms, his honest
squire Conrade trotting after him. Scarcely
had they proceeded half way when the knight
suddenly stopped, and cried—
" Come here Conrade ; a most tormenting
thoughthas occurred to me. This is the very
day that father Nicholas comes to the Castle
to say mass for my dear wife and myself, and I
am not at all inclined to have him in my
abode during my absence, so gallop back, and
desire your lady in my name, not to admit
the priest;
Conrade paused and shook his head as if in
doubt, and replied, "Excuse me, noble sir, but
perhaps the lady Angelica, if left to her dis
cresion, will do what you wish."
"A curse on your perhaps !". exclaimed
the knight ; "I make all sure'by giving the or
der."
"Do you think so?" replied the squire,
"now I in my simplicity believe exactly the
contrary. Take the advice of your faithful
servant for once in your life ; let things take
their course, and give no orders on so delicate
a point."
! "A fig for your delicacy?" cried Sir Hugo,
angrily; ~."what absurd fancies you have got
'in your head „to-day? Do you think an hour's
ride a task so tedious ?"
! if it comes to that, sir" replied, Con..
- rade, "I have nothing more to say."
He„gat . spurs to his horse and rode back to
the castle.,
Angelica saw him gallop up, and cried in
terror, from the window, "what has brought
you back in such haste' Has any accident
happened to my Lord ?"
"None whatever, gracious lady," answered
Conrade; "but the noble knight was appre
hensive that some accident might happen you
if by chance yon took a fancy to ride Sultan."
I ride--ride theJarge greyhound" ? ex
claimed Angelica, in utter astonishment. "I
belive you are drunk or mad. It is impos-•
eible that your master sent us so ridiculous a
message. •
"Aye, but he did, though," pursued the
squire: "and my noble master said at the
same time he knew Sultan would bite terri
bly, not being accustomed to be made a pony
of; and,he therefore begs that you will not
attempt to divert yourself in that way,"
'Having said this he again mou , Pd-his horse,
and galloped off to his master. . ,- -
• "Am I awake or do I dream 2" ejaculated
Angelica. " The folly of Sir Hugois so strange,
that I am almost tempted to believe it a wild
dream. What does he mean? Is it not
enough that thave hitherto tried to read - his
every will and wish, and, when known obey
ed them implicity ; and do I deserve that he
should stretch his power so far,
and play
the capricious, haughty tyrant? Nsw I see
that to be submissive, to:asoftly compliant, is
not the way to treat him : the worm that
crawls the dust isltrampled upon. But, no,
Sir Knight is not gone quite so far with us
. yet; in spite of you I will ride Sultan ; and
you may thailk yourself, for your message
suchthing would never have entered my
hea ."
H rioNoquy was here interrupted, by the
ec a
entrance of a servant, who- informed her that
Father Nicholas had arrived and was-in the
ante-chamber. "I cannot receive his visit
to-day," said the consort of Hugo, "'for my
lord is absent. Give this as my excuse to the
reverend father, and bec , b of him to return to
morrow." With all due respect to Father
Nicholas•continued she, when left to herself,
he 'shall not spoil my pleasant ride. Now if
my pony were but here. He must have an
easy gait and his teeth I Ado not fear : he is
as quiet as a lamb. Oh 1 how shall I delight
in this two fold pleasure_of showing the surly
old fellow that I neither care for him nor his
. orders, and of trying a past time that is at
least a novel one !" Through every coroner
of the house resounded now her cry of " Sul
tan." Here boy ! " Sultan ! Sultan !"
The immense but doolle animal sprang from
a bone upon which ; he was faasting, and was
at her side in an instaht. Cat . essing him.till
she got,him into a room, the door of which
she shut.
" Now friend Sultan, "
cried his fair mis
tress, "No growl, no bite, and all is safe."
With her snow white hand she continued
stroking and patting his huge back for some
minutes, and then in the hope that if only
through gratitude he would comply with the
fancy, she mounted her new steed. Ile show
ed his teeth a little, in some doubt what all
that meant but she soothed him again into a
good humor and ,patient endurance of the
novel burthen ; but he thought this quite
enough, and did not stir from.the spot. An
gelica was naturally not much pleased with
being thus stationary ; she therefore goaded
him with her foot, bat no trot would Sultan
condescend he remained motionless as before,
while something like a growl escaped from
his immense and fear inspiring jaws. Out of
all patience, she exclaimed— -
"You shall feel the_ spur then, you lazy
brute," and drove her heel into his side. He
growled audibly, but stirred not an inch ; she
repeated her blow. This was too:much for
- canine patience ;' he made a spritik, -rind as
she fell full length upon the floor, 'he turned
a-U. bit her hand. The dismounted rider en
dewe the floor with a. few tears, and then
sprang up to turn out of the room the un%
courteous brute who had thus rudely shown
how little he understood play.
Towards evening Sir Hugo returned and
inquired with suspicious haste whether Fa
ther Nicholas had be
gl
en there.
" Oh, yes, h'4 was here," answered A l'
tance."
ca, " but I ventured to refuse hin n admit-
The e-
knight east a triumphant_ glance at his
squire, and whispered him ."Now
. N'ow old Wis
dom, do you see the use of my orders?"
Conrade, who, as may be supposed
. had
said nothing of the alteration he made in the
substance of his embassy,thrugged his should
ers with a smile unperceived by his master,
who turned again to his consort, and fir s t
perceived she wore a bandage upon her soft
hand Ho immediately inqued the cause.
"Sultan bit me," said Angelica, " and it is
Your fault, Sir Hugo," added she, sobbing.
'' My fault!" cried the knight.
i , Yes, your fault, and nobody's but yours,"
reiorted his spouse. "lifou had not sent
me word by Conrade not o ride the nasty,
mischievous brute, such a mad .trick .would
never' have entered my head." "- ''--- .
Id mute astonishment the knight hurried to
seek an explanation from his squire, who had
slipped away when-Angelica began her com
plaint. . _
" What message did you bring your lady?''
demanded he.
Conrade now confessed the truth.
"Were these the orders I gave you, you
scoundrel ?" said the enraged Sir Hugo.
"Certainly not," replied the squire, "but
you will own that I have made my point good.
'You may see how it would have been had I
given your order about the young priest. My
noble lady is a model for her sex, and almost
an angel, but still she is a daughter of Eve,
who meant to have bequeathed to all her line
al femahkescendants her own spirit of per
verseness. And we have only to remember
the Lady Angelica's pleasant ride upon •-€4.11-
tan to be convinced that it had lost none of
its vigor in the descent."

RIIIE ItIANDADUS CASE-ALLEGBIENY
COUNTY BONDS•OPINION OP 01111EP
JUSTICE LOWRIE.
On Thursday morning, at Harrisburg, the
Supreme Court refused the motion to quash
the writ of mandamus against our County
Commissioners, sued out to compel them to
levy a sufficient tax to pay the interest ou the
railroad bonds issued by the county.
As indicated in the opinion of Chief Ju etice
Lowrie, which we give below, the case be
heard upon its merits when the court shall be
in session in the Western district.
Mr. Williams announced that he should
claim the privilege of putting in a demurrer
with his answer.
Mr. Meredith and Mr. Harding claimed
that the defendants must make their return,
and moved for a writ of peremptory man
damus for want of a return, and a sufficient
return.
Mr. Williams said he should file his return
and his demurrer with it, which Mr. Me re
dith objected to. Mr. Williams handed his
papers to the Court. Mr. Meredith said the
answer was signed by but two of the Co m
missioners, and ho was entitled to the third.
The Court took the papers, and said they
would examine their sufficiency and take such
further order in the case as might be neces
sary, on Friday morning.
The opinion is in the following words:
Commonwealth
V 3.
The Commissioners 1 Motion to quash the writ.
of Allegheny Co. J
cruise of mun COURT
LOWRIE C. J. The writ of mandamus is not,.
as a general rule, s writ of right that any party
can have merely on ordering it; but it can be
had only on application t.O the court and on ehol v
ipg a prima facia, title to it. The applicatit p
for it is an appeal to 019 decision of the disort
tion of the Court, o'sdi hence the usual praotiot
formerly was to nip the other party to be pres- j
ent at the hearing v f the application so that he
or they might aid i a informing the Court in the
emeroise of their d'tsoretion. That form of prac
tice was not al all necessary to the validity of
the process, and was not always pursued.
The Court rg'lght take the trouble to inform
itself that the case was a proper one to.be heard,
and deGided, on a mandamus, and when they did
se Vaere could be no proper ground for a motion
V.) quash the writ on account of the usual pre
liminary rule having been dispensed with. For
s everal yearn past we have always dispensed with
this preliminary rule and awarded the alterna
tive mandsmus on a proper prima facie case be
ing !Amara by the petition and we have found it
very convenient. It prejudices no right of the
defendant and brings on the cause for hearing in
abe tter form than by the rule to show cause.
Lash lad of moving to quash on this ground the
defer Wants ought to have obeyed tho writ by an
swe3 ring or demurring,
w e agree that the place for hearing such causes
ough t ordinarily to be within the Supreme Court
distri. ct to which the defendants officially belong;
but Tv, Q think that even this must be subject to
the decision of the court. Wherever this court
may be when the remedy is needed, there it
must be applied for and thence and by the pro
thonotary there the writ may be issued. And to
make the writ effectual at all in our hands it
ftk b,i,
must be returnable be re us whenever we may
be at the appointed ret day just as the, same
writ out of a King's Beno would be. It is only
thus that the cause can be ought to issue with
proper promptness and is to be ready for hear
ing in the distriot to which it belongs when we
go there. We feel very strong disinclination to
bring parties out of their district at the actual
trial of the cause, and cannot consent to do it
except whore the necessity of it is very apparent
or where promptness in the proceeding is essen
tial to its efficacy in the given case.
These remarks may stand as a suggestion of
our views relative to two of the objections taken
by the defendants; the other two, we think, will
more properly arise when we come to,the merits
of the catv on answer or detnurer.
The motion to quash is refused.
The-opinion among the lawyers appears to
be that)this important case, at least so far as
the-11,W is concerned, will be decided by the
Supreme Court in the prAnt proceeding.
:JULY 17, 1868
Dear Post:.--Preoccupied as my time ,as
I• en with the weightier matters of the law
in the Supreme Court, and the more exciting
ones of politics in the speckled Convention of
Wednesday, we have given you but little of
our observations by the way.
The refusal of the Supreme Court to quash
the writ of mandamus issued against our
County Commissioners, has manifestly struck
the learned attorney of the Commissioners
all aback. His programme was to have the
issue first tried in some one of the Courts in.
Allegheny county, and then taken up to the
tribunal of last resort. In this, it appeals
that the Philadelphia lawyers have been too
many for him, and he is evidently chagrined
at the course things are' ;taking. Mr. Com
missioner Tomer went home to-day, and Mr.
M'llhenny remains to attend to the interests
of the county. It is said that Messrs. Mere
dith and - Harding will move the Court for a
peremptory mandamus to compel the levy of
the tax to pay the interest on the railroad
bonds, on Friday morning, but it is scarcely
probably the Court will take such a decisive
step until after a full argument of the case,
and as the Judges are anxious to get away
from here, we presume the final argument
will take place at Pittsburgh, at the meeting
or the Court in the fall.
Some of the great guns of the Philadelphia
Bar are here attending the Court. William
M. Meredith,. with his clear logical reason
ing powers, brilliant eloquence, and neat,
sparkling and ever-ready wit, is more than a
match for Thomas Williams. The latter is
not quick at repartee, and Meredith's polished
shafts on more than one occasion penetrated
deeply through the thick coating of vanity
which encases our Allegheny friend. George
Harding, Esq., a young lawyer from Phila
delphia, of fine ability, is engaged with Mr.
Meredith. Although the present proceeding
is brought upon but two bonds, the legal gen
tlemetHrom Philadelphia represent the in
terests of the holders of many thousands,
who are some of them present, watching the
proceedings with great interest. The im
pression appears to be that the ultimate de
cision of the Court will be that Allegheny
county must pay the interest on her bonds,
and we think that the County Commissioners
who have been here have calve to this con,
el usion. We have kept the tax-payers ad
vised of this movement through the columns
of the Post, and shall continue to do so. We
give things as they appear to us, and although
we should be pleased to see our citizens re
lieved of an unjustly imposed burthen of tax
ation, still their minds should be prepared for
the result. Those who have done this evil
to us—those who have deluded us out of our
obligations, and squandered the proceeds,
will be marked, and bitterly repent what
they have done.. But whatever may be the
final\ result, we t nk God that •tho Demo
cratic party of ur co nty are clear of all
responsibility in this. matter.
David Paul Brown has been engaged to
day in an argument in a Philadelphia mur
der case. He is a small, cc
headed, elderly gentleman, igly
marked features, short, bristli hair,
and a full, rotund voice. Bul J. is
well stocked with the legal lore of more than
fifty years study and practice, and that voice
is as strong aad eloquent as in days of yore.
He is not as elegant and polished as Meredith - ,
but "he talks like a book." The junior coun
sel in the case undertook to talk "by the
nook" and had a tremendous pile of calf skin
transported from the State Library to the
manifest terror of the Judges who mildly in
sinuated as much. The case was one-where
a drayman, whose name we do not now re
member, was convicted of the murder of
another named McCracken., The case was
tried in the absence of the President Judge
and the main point was that the two Common
Pleas side Judges could not, under the Con
stitution, hold a court of Oyer and Terminer.
This point Mr. Brown presented with great
force and eloquence, and we will venture our
opinion in advance that the Court will rule
the ease in his favor.
We were struck with the peculiar character
of the convention on Wednesday. While there
were some of the leading men of the opposi
tion present either as members or outsiders,
snob as Cameron, Stevens, Reeders, M'-
Michael, Todd, Williamson and others, small
fry country politicians and country editors,
composed far the largest number of those
present. CuLNunings , of the Bulletin, was the
only Philadelpha editor we noticed. He
looked very sanctified, as usual, and seemed
to be calculating what per cent. of probabili
ties of success the minj.,led mass promised.
He did not look as though he thought the
stock A No. 1. Sam Young, of the Clarion
Banner, better known in our oity'fis the lite
rary drayman, Hazlitt, of 'the Butler Ameri
can, Seth T. Hurd, of the Brownsville Clipper,
who came from Fayette, but represented
Greene, S. B. Rome, of the Raflinen's
(Bucher Swope's second fiddle,) and a dozen
others, whose names I have forgotten, were
present.
The Allegheny Delegation behaved very
well. Errett, of the Gazette, made himself
useful all day in calling the names of the
delegates for the ballots, which he did in tip
tor style. Tom Marshall had an evident dis
position to show up the whole thing in his
own peculiar style and enjoyed the farce
most heartily. George Riddle kept him in
check by his quiet, staid demeanor, and C.
B. M. Smith urged upon him "the importance
of the- occasion. M'Knight was excessively
dignified, as it becomes a candidate for Con
gress.to be. The " People's Convention Del
egation" were firmly impressed with the idea
that they were i the "entire and perfect chry
colite "of political perfection. They went
home with a flea in their ears. These young
anen should seek some politieal Jeri(rho where
:they might " tarry until their beards are
we- wn." They went home promising to "de
feat the party," a consummation in the ELCCOM.
laiSbnle ‘ llt of which we wish them every
success.

HARRISBURG, Thursday evening,

We is ad a very pleasant interview this
'morning ,with our excellent Governor. He
gives his un ,,,ivided attention to the affairs, of
the State, an d
. ie alwas to be found in the
Executive Chau2bar during
members of hie u 'a'4 business hours.
He is universall y 1 .
Trasr, no

party, but with all
the sensible men of 1. 4 12,9 Opposition. In all
the public acts appertain.
crag to his great office,
his course has been so Ilea. e, his judgment so
correct, 'and his prudence L vad care for the
Nte
welfare of the people of the Sh. so manifest
that he earns the espect and con. 141 a.,... nee of all
men. The official course of no G '"araar of.

men as he at the heod of 'affairs , aided by ..'"e
sound legal ability.: , of Judge Knox as Attor:'
ney General, and 11. S. Magraw, Esq., in the
Treasury, the affairs of the old Keystone are
well and wisely administered.
Since the delegates to the Convention left,
this town of Harrisburg is as dull and idle
" as a paintpl ship upon a painted ocean."
What on earth the people here do for a living
while the Legislature is not in session, it
would take a wise man to determine. The
Convention was a god\send to the hotel keep
ers ; and in speaking ef them we may be al-
lowed to say that Major Brady, of the Brady
House, is a most capital provider for the
wants of the traveler. We recommend all
Pittsburghers who may have occasion to visit
the State capital to stop at Brady's.
Not Yet Decided.
The Boston Board of Trade is endeavoring
to fix the question how many pounds of
merchandize shall constitute a ton. The
object to ba attained is, some standard of
computation when goods are transported by
at a given rate per ton, and the parties fail
to make a special agreement. The impor
tance of a fixed rule is obvious. It is a desi , -
rable, also, to adopt uniform regulations with
regard to commissions, to weights and tares,
to rates of storage, and the like. A commit
tee have all under advisement, and a report
may be expected soon.
An Incident.
On Monday evening last, Judge Douglas
attended the representation of " Aladdin,"
at North's National Theatre, Chicago. A
brief announcement by the proprietor of his
acceptance of an invitation to be present,
had filled the spacious amphitheatre to its
utmost capacity. The Judge entered the
house shortly before nine o'clock, and pro
ceeded towards the box provided for him.
No sooner was his entrance discovered, than
the whole audience, as if moved by one com
mon impulse, received him by every demon
stration of applause. The play of course
stopped. The bland struck up a rational air
and Senator Douglas entered the box greeted
by the warm, and no doubt heartfelt plaudits
of that vast assemblage. It was some mo
ments before the applause subsided.
Right of, scarch (Inca t lon.
In an able editorial the Philadelphia Press
says:
It is high time that the miserable race of bri.
gands, who have infested the waters of the Gulf,
and who, by the shameless prostitution of our
flag to their unholy purposes, have inflicted an
almost indelible stigma upon our national char
acter, should bo utterly extirpated. Indiffer
ence on the part of the American Government
in such a case is equivalent to granting posi•
tive immunity to crime ; it is even more—it is
offering a premium for the violation of laws
held sacred by every nation in Christendom.
We believe that the course taken by the Ad
ministration has beau eminently wise and patri
otic, and, in the demands made upon England,
nothing has been claimed that was not strictly
plat. The relinquishment of the right of search
was absolutely necessary to irises both Govern
ments upon a fair and equal footing. To allow
a questionable and necessarily dangerous power
to be exercised in regard to our mercantile
marine by any foreign Government is tanta
mount to a oom'essiou or our inferiority in the
scale of nations.
kit a victey won by diplomacy, however tht
terida to our pride, will add nothing to our rep
utagn until we have shown ourdclves worthy to
enjoy it. In order to furnish substantial ',evi
dence on this point o there should km active meas
ures promptly token to punish the slightest
abuse of our fla g . We think that the highest
conoiderations of respect for ourselves, and re
gai4i for the opinion of the civilized world, point
to '!.ho duty of maintaining a equ‘adron on the
coast of Cubs, with instructions to visit and ex
amine all vessels using American colors. Let
thie be done thoroughly and effectually, and the
discontinuance of the slave Lade willoease to be
regarded as an impossible problem. So soon as
the active agents and secret abettors of the
abominable trafie find their lives endangered and
their profits problematical, they will be ready
to abandon their eaterprise. Even the. partial
attainment of co beuetioent a result would rodeo
honor open any Administration, and mast tend
immediately to relieve the country from the sue
picion of complicity with crime.

the constitution and laws of the United States ;
that they will not resist the execution of the

functions in the Territory of Utah.
The houses, fields and gardens of the people

would be injured or molested by the array under
your command.
We would respectfully suggest, in consequence
of this feeling of uneasiness, that yon issuea
proclamation to the people of Utah, stating that
the army under your command would 4t tres
pass upon the rights of property of peaceable
citizens during the sojourn in or the march of
year army through the Territory. Such a proc
lamation would greatly allay the existing anxiety
and fear of the people, and cause those who
have abandoned their homes to return to their
houses and farms.
We have made inquiry about grass, wood, &0.,
necessary for the subsistence and convenience of
your army. We have conversed with Mr. Fick
lin fully on this subjeet, and given him all tho
information we have, which ho will impart to
you.
We respectfully suggest that you march to the
valley as soon as it is convenient for you to do
80.
We have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servants,
L. W. POWELL,
BEN. McCULLOCH,
Commissioners to Utah.

Utah, Camp Scott, Utah Territory.
early Completion of the Pittsburgh, Ft
Wayne and Chicago Railroad.
There is not one of our wes tern morohants or
prominent business men having dealings with
eastern cities, who will not hail with shouts and
en:gratulation the first train of the Pittsburgh,
Ft. Wayne and Chicago Railroad over their own
completed exclusive line to Chicago. This Road,
forming one continuous through line with the
f.
Pennsylvania Central, will th n we have every
reason to believe) in its he y freight and pas
senger business carry off t e palm of success
from all other competing ro ea. It will be then
the shortest, speediest and pleasantest route to
Philadelphia, Now York, and all other import
ant seaboard cities. The right of way has been
purchased, and all preliminary arrangements
perfected, and workmen are now busy laying
rails from Plymouth (only 82 miles distant) west
to Chicago, and in a few days operations will be
commenced at this section of the lino. The
rails aro all purchased and are of the best qual
ity of Pennsylvania iron—home manufactured,
American railroad iron, it ,!is well known, is
more oostlr,than European, Int then in quality,
durability and toughness, it is vastly superior in
the end to any other. Barnes ..:: Fenlon are the
contractors for the finishing up of this incom
plete portion of road, and, we learn, pones, i n
an eminentdegree those qualities of energy and
experience, necessary to the prompt and thor.
ough execution of their work. The road will be
completed entire and in running order, it is con
fidently expected, by the let of October.

made on the 26th, when they laid upwards of
forty miles ; the work was going on finely, when
the communication ceased, and she returned to
the starting point to await the Agamemnon,
when they would splice and make another at
tempt. The ship left the Niagara iti the after
noon. The weather is since faggy and unset

News From the Army.
ST. Louts, July 16.—Our dispatches from
Leavenworth of the 13th, per United States ex
press to Boonville, says The express arrived to
day from Gen. Harney, who was on the 6th en
camped seventy-five miles beyond Fort Kearney.
Col. Monroe's columnwas beyond the south fork
of the Platte. Col. May was a short distance
in the rear. At headquarters, all the columns
were well, and in a splendid condition. A dis
patch just arrived from Kearney report that the
officers at that Fort had received intelligence
that Gen. Johnson had entered Salt Lake City
with troops. This is probably a mistake.
Letters from Fort Kearney, of June 13th say
that Gen Harney's headquarters had been en
camped there for six days, in expectation of the
arrival of new instructions from the War De- ,
partment. A teamster had been tried and ac
quitted on a charge of inciting his companions
to rob Capt. Hancock of $50,000, under his
charge, for meeting incidental expenses. Cols.
May and Morrison had passed Fort Kearney.
The latter gave Harney hie first salute as Briga
dier-General. A postscript to the letter says
the express had arrived, tnt as it brings no
advices from Washington, we shallreenme march
tomorrow.
Another Royal Marriage In Turkey
On the 10th of June Munyveh Sultana, daugh
ter of the Sultan, was married in Constantinople,
tho festivities and ceremonies being very like
those of the preceding week, when a daughter
of the Sultan was married to a eon of the Vice
roy of
,Egypt. The trousseau of both daughters
was exactly the same ; each of them had a sum
mer palace hired for her on the Bosphorus, sim
ilarly furnished, and for both an exactly similar
winter residence is being built. They are to
have the same dowry and the same appanage
-60,000 piasters a, month for the lady, and as
much more for her husband, who besides receives
as mushir or field•tnarshal, 10 , po piasters a
month ; so that the, happy co ple get altogether,
2,400,000 piasters, er about 70,000 a year.
The Paris Prase nays : t e Sultan has given
two of his daughters away arriage ; the ex
penses of this double marriage a valued at 14,
000,000 francs. It is the custom on such oca
sions for the Sultan to keep open table for all
his Mussulman subjects for ; een days. It
must not be supposed that these. : . nets are
distinguished for their delicacy ; herds . sheep
broiled rather than roasted, rice, raw ...umbers,-
compose the bill of fare offered by the grettest
potentate of the East to his subjects. In the
present state of the Turkish finances, this expen
diture of 14,000,000 francs for flte benefit of a
ragged crowd betrays great penetration.
