Conjujfftl Manner of Neapolitan Boy My Tim Puria newspaper, called la ralrie, gives us thet-e rticulars of the Neapolitan Royal fa mily willi which lliat of France is about to be nilicd by tlit nmrringe of the Due d'Aumulr, fourth ton of Louis Plullippe to the Princes of Sjlcrno. One evening, when tlie Quern, Maria Christiana, of virtuous memory, was about to nit down at the card table, hvt husband King Ferdinand, by way of joke, drew back her chair, lit the moment ahe was sitting down, and she fell to the floor in position en indelicate, a to bring Witslies to the checks of all in attendance. On rising, the Queen, outraged in her modes ty, said to her royal husband, with justifiable in dignation, "l thought t had married a Kin?, but 1 pereieve I have only given my hand t. a lazzoroni." The wordt were hardly uttered be tore a violent box on the ear from her royal con sort followed. The Quern, then advanced in pregnancy, left the apartment in tears, and from broiling over this brutality and from the effects (if the full, "die had scarcely given birth to a child before her strength gave way and she died. Another Prince of this home of which kindness towards wivea is by no means a char ecteristic, the Prince of Salerno, future father-in-law of the Due iTAumalr, and one of the most enlightened Princes of Ituly, ill-treated his young w ife so shamefully, soon after the marriage, thntthc Emperor Francis of Austria sent to demand "How it was that a little pic caninny Prince of Xiples could presume to lay his hands upon an Archduchess of Austria 1" These facts are notorious throughout Italy, and sufficiently explain the joy which the young Princess Caroline, of Salerno, manifested on hearing that her hand had been asked in mar riage by a French Prince. The French have the reputation throughout Europe of being very unliable towards women and the sons of Iuiis Philiippe especially are acknowledged to be of excellent character." Break Your Honrs to Work Without minder. We have always thought the "blinders" or "eye winkers" on our harnesses which we work our horses in, were not only a useless append oge but oftentimes injurious. We consider Ihem useless, because we cannot think or see any good they do. We never heard but i nu reuson for using them, and that was given by u stage driver, and was the following : "That ofT thrill horse, you see, is a lazy dog, and needs the string pretty o!ten. His male is hut fe now if he could sec me when I go to strike his mate, ho would spring and take the whole load, and the off one would shrink out just the same." There is some reason in that, to be sure. We can't always have horses matched equally in teams, either as it regards temper or strength, and of course, once in a wiiile, it may work will to hide a tree horse's eyes from the evil that is descending in the form of an angry driver's lash ; but an offset to this, the lazy horse will also see the blow coming, and probably w ill spring out of the way too, as well as the other, do thiil the power will be us equally applied by them both. We think that many horses are disposed to "shy" more, as it is called, when their eyes are partially covered w ith blinders than when not. Horses may bo trained to wi.rk without them, and colls should, by all means-, be taught to doit. We think horses appear much better without than with them, especially if they have a good eye naturally. Maine Farmer.

The Democrats of Lewibbnrg had a splen did torch light procession on Thursday night last, in commemoration of the triumphant elec tion of James K. Polk. A large delegation from Northumberland, with their torch lights, attend ed, and were escorted into town. A number of houses w ere illuminated, and an excellent supper was served up for the occasion. Lewisburg is the strong citadel of democracy in Antimasoiiic Union. C7 SrkAKKR of thk Hoisk. Several per sons have been named as candidates for the Speaker's Chair, in the next Legislature. We have observed among them the name of F.dward Y. SuiGiiT, F.s(., the member from this county, who is recommended for that olfice. Mr. Bright was a useful and industrious member at the last session, and would, no doubt, make a good olficer. C7"Ci.f.iik of the Hoise. San-.uel S. Ear ton, of Huntingdon county, has been recommend ed for the office by some of the papers. Mr. Barton is spoken of, by those who know him, in high terms, as a gentleman well worthy of the office and capable of discharging itsduties. C7" Who Nominated Folk ? We bave seen it remarked in several papers that Col. Reah Frazer, of Lancaster, was entitled to the credit of having first nominated Jas. K. Polk for Presi dent, at the Baltimore Convention. Col. Fra zer is an active and talented democrat, and, no doubt, aided materially, with some others, in bringing about the result. It would, however, be unjust to pass over the name of the lion. Heudrick B. Wright, of Luzerne, the President of the Baltimore Convention, to whose instru mentality, probably as much as to any man, Jas. K Polk ows his nomination, and consequently his election. Thk Electoral Votk for President will, we presume, stand 170 for Polk and 105 for Clay. Polk's majority C5. Had New York cast her 30 votes for Clay, he would have been elect ed by a majority ot 7. The 20 votes of Penn sylvania would not Lave been sufficient to have turned the scale, but still, we insist that Mr. Polk owes his election to Pennsylvania. Had the ''Old Keystone," which was the first large State to lead ofT in his favor, gone against him. the state of New York would, undoubtedly, have followed suit, and the majority against him would have been 53, almost as much as h.j no v has over Clay. Mr. Polk then, we repeat, owes his election to Pennsylvania, and therefore can not, and as an honorable man, we are confident, will not abandon her interests. The Pai-SintNT's Cabinet. Many specu lations are already afloat in regard to th compo sition of President Polk's Cabinet. Of course, these are all speculations, as nothing positive or certain can be known. Many of our whig friends have all along insisted that Mr. Calhoun would remain in the Cabinet, and would be the presid ing spirit in controlling its councils. Mr. Talk will assume the duties of his olfice as free and as untrammelled as any President we have had for many years past. His good sense and honesty of purpose will induce him to select a Cabinet that will give credit and character to his administra tion. As President of ufl the States he w ill feel himself bound to consult the interests of all, without regard to the peculiar institutions of the Noithor the Sou'.h, disregarding all sectional feelings or local jealousies. Our opinion is that Mr. Calhoun will not form one of the new Cabi net. Mr. Stevenson, of Virginia, has hem men tioned as his successor, Gov. Cass, it is thought, will take the State Department. Gov. Marcey, of X. Y., it is said, will be invited to the Trea sury Department. Mr. Saunders, of North Caro lina, is spoken of as Postmaster General, and will, it is said, adopt a more liberal policy than has been pursued heretofore. Senator Walker will have, it is thoucht, a place in the Cabinet, or a seat on the Bench of the Supreme Court. Gen. Cass, it is rumored, will be elected to the U. S. Senate, if he should not be called into the Cabinet. K7" The rUiffiiloe Advertiser slanders the De mocrats of Dei ks county mot shamefully, be cause they gave Polk a majority of 4, CCD. He says that Berks was settled principally with Hessians, who were bought by George the III from the Prince of Hesse at jft a head, to crush American Independence. Now, it is well known that Berks was one of the most patriotic coun ties in the State, and during the last war furnish ed just twice as many volunteers as Lancaster county, which is the most populous of the two. i Cy.Viw JK3sv The correct returns from i this ?tat, mke th majority for flay fr23 Presidential Elect Ion.

Th1! following is probably a fair estimate what the actual majorities will be. In some States we have the official vote, in others, from which the returns are not complete, we give an estimate, which will bear correction as the cor rect retmns come in. These estimates, leaving out Arkansas and Mississippi, fiom which returns enough have not been received to make an esti mate, make Tolk's aggregate majority 101, 03:2 ; Clay's, CS.1C0, Tolk's majority on popular vote, 42 S72. Birney's vote, as far as reported, is 47,725, and only two States to hear from, in which he will have any vote, Vermont and Maine. At present, Polk's minority, compared with Clay and Birney, is 4,sr3. Arkansas will probably give Polk 2,000 ; Mississippi, 4.000. It depends upon the Liberty vote in Vermont and Maine whether Polk will be in a minority in the aggre gate vote. Probable maj. Vote. Hirney Polk 9,200 Clay X.
