"’edding;r of u H'ltile x'llau (o a Negro
Lady in Arw or!mns.-—'l‘hvre has been
quite a stir recently in New Orleans, in
consequence of the marriage ofu \\ hite man
named Buddinglon, a teller in the Canal
Bank. to the negro daughter of one of the
wealthiest merchants in that ctr. Bud
dingtnn, before he could be married, was
obliged to swear to Lie hating negro blood
In his veins. and to do this he made an in
ciaiun in his arm and put some ofhet blood
in the cut. The ceremony was performed
by a Catholic clergyman, and the bride
groom has received nith his wile a fortune
of come 50.000 or 60.000 dollars. The
natives serenbded him with such abomina
ble music, that to get rid of their discord
he paid them 400 dollars to be used for
charitable purposes.
The London Morning Clttnntrlo. after
noticing the life. character and eminent le
gal attainment of this late jurist, annonn
cos the following complimentary tribute to
his memory from the London bar: '
“We rejoice to lcatn that a committee
is forming of members oftlte Bar and em
inent Soltcttors in the Law institution. for
the purpose of setting on font a public sub
acriptton. in honor of Mr Justice Story.—
\\'e believe it is intended to‘olTer to the
benches of Lincoln's Inn a marble statue
of this eminent Trans-Atlantic Judge. as n
tribute of respect due to an accomplished
lawyer, u hose immortal worku are equally
estimated in the ' mother country,’ and in
the American United States.
GREAT FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA
A very destrurlivo conflagrntinrt hroLa
out in Philadelphia on Sunday nightwnm
mencing In the large store of Messrs. Len -
ts & Sterling, No. 57 South “'hnrt‘es, i 1
raged untrl a large lrlock of buildings and a
great amount of property “as consumed.
The suflererl are the gentlemen on whose
property the fire began—Messrs S. Mur
ris, Waln & CO. ; Ben-ell 8L Allen; Pen~
rose 81. Burton; Robert Burton; 1:“ Lin
con & Cm; Peel. Sevens 81 Co, and Ad
am Heinkel. The loss, though very large,
is nearly or quite entirely catered by insu
rnnr‘e. The United States Gazelle says
that there rs no doubt but that it was the
work of an incendiarv.
THE DISTANCE TO OREGON.
The actual distance to be eatletl from N.
York to the tnouth of the Columbia liver.
by the way of Cape Horn, is estimated at
15,000 miles. A ship canal to Panama to
be cut through the Isthmus of Darien.
which is only 37 miles, would save more
than ten thousand miles._ or more than one
half the distance, reducing the voyage out
and back to less than the time now requir
ed to make the passage out. ’* The distance
from New York to the mouth of the Col
umbia river. by land. is about 3,700 miles.
