the Duke says "The interesting situation of" the Duchess causes me hourly anxiety and you, who so well know my views and feelings, can well appreciate how eagerly desirous I am to hasten onr departure for old England. The event is thought likely to occur about the end of next month. My wish is that it may take place on the 4th of June, as this is the birth-day of my reverend father, and that the child, too, like him, may be a Briton born." In this patriotic desire the Duchess fully participated.

There's language in her deep, dark eyes, a language sweet to read, And well I love to watch each change, as varied thoughts succeed There's language on her rosy lips, and on her blushing cheek, A language far more dear to me than tongue could ever speak I love to watch her as she sits and muses "fancy free," And long to ask if, at such times, she gives one thought to me I see her snowy lids oft droop those brilliant orbs above, And then I know her heart ia touched by some sweet thought of love.

Her tiny hand how well I know each vein that courses there For on it I've pressed many a kiss, and breathed o'er it a prayer That she, the one I love so well, may never live to see One hour of grief, but that her life a sunny dream may be; A dream where all is bright and fair, as were the blissful bowers Of Eden, ere our parents fell may such be all her hours Her path thro' life a joyous one, her death a slumber sweet.

A decision has been lately made by the Supremo Court of Tennesee, which, among other things, embraces a claim of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company of about half a million of dollars, which involved many intricate legal principles and the interest of some six hundred persons. Two bills were filed one by the Trust Company snd the other by other parties against theNashville Insurance Company. The Nashville Whig says that the Court dismissed both bills for multifariousness, but declared that after the filing of proper bills, the stockholders of the Nashville Insurance Company might be held liable under their charter to the amount of their stock, but as between the deedholders and depositors of Nashville Company and the Ohio Trust Company, the hitter, before they could receive nny-toing from the stockholders, must account for all they would receive in virtue of the deed of trust.

SINGULAR TURKISH WEDDING. When we lived among the Turks, a dapper little fellow, a son of our broker, called one morning upon us with a message which he delivered in substantial Hebrew 'My lord and father makes his submissive obedience to your lordship (whom God protect And desires to know if he shall have the honor to kiss your hand at the wedding to-day 'What wedding, Muchaca 'Mine, 'Yours Why you little villian, how old are you He raised his hand thrice, being superstitious about repeating numbers. 'Fifteen And how old is your wife that is to be He counted eleven with his fiugers. 'Why, Chica, what can you possibly do with a wifef Is she pretty 'Don't know, exccllenza. I never saw Here's a vile couutry for you.

Boys and girls who should be in school learning their lessons, getting married without having seen each other without love, sentiment, vows, protestations, ct cetera! 'Did you make her any presents 'Oh, yes, sir. The presents went last night. We had a canal load, your lordship a band of music, a trunk full of fiuesilk dresses, embroidered slippers, gold ear-ring, two silver waiters, plenty of oil, and sweet cakes, and a dish of Shall we go to this oriental wedding, thought we. Yes, we will go, if it is only to see the bride and groom. It was noon.

We ordered the mules to be attached to the chaise, and rode to the comfortable mansion of Sig- tior Solomon Benbanon. The long tallc was thronged with men wearing blue turbans and heavy black beards. The little bridegroom, with a pair of wide cotton trow-sers, and embroidered jacket.and a crimson velvet skull cap, was seated on an ottoman, gazing attentively around, as it he was uot a party to tlie important cere mony about to take place. After prayers, a canopy was produced under which the little fellow was placed a curtain in front of an alcove was withdrawn, and a bevy of fat women entered followed by the little bnde, who had a white lace veil thrown over her head, no stockings on, with heavy anklets or cinctures of gold, and her tiny feet encased in red morocco slippers embroidered with gold. The bride stood opposite the groom.

He eyed her closely, and she peeped at him through her veil. He tried to look grave, but everand anon would twitter and laugh. When they gave him the ring to put on her finger, be put it ou his own, rubbed it, looked pleased, as if unwilling to give it to her. After the ceremony, they were both seated on an ottoman and received the congratulations of all present. Pauvre Cito they looked like children ready for any sport blindman's buff, or hunt the slipper anything, in short but being married.

Such are the oriental customs. The married parties did not have the least agency in the matter. They were strangers to each other and, after the weddiug, the girl went back to her father's house, and the boy played marbles for we saw him next day selling otto of roses and preserved figs, and sporting with a gang of little loafers, not largerthan himself. When he was big enough to be able to maintain his wife, we presume he claimed her. Charleston Fire.

In reply he has written a let-ter of considerable length, which he has eutirely devoted to the consideration of the subject of the extradition of fugitive slaves. We would recommend the letter to the perusal of our readers as containing all that can be aid on the side of the question which he embraces. The constitution of the United States, after requiring that fugitives from justice shall be given up by the States where they have taken refuge, declares No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but Khali be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due." In order the more effectually to carry this provision into execution, and to satisfy the wishes of the South, who were unwilling to enter the confederacy lest -their peculiar rights of property should be disregarded, Congress, in the earlier part of 171)3, passed the follow, ing act, the first two sections of which related to fugitives from justice. Pec. 3.

And be it further enacted. That when a perron held to labor in any of the United States, or in either ot the U-rritoriea ot the northwest or south ol the river Ohio, underthe laws there of, shall escape into any other of the said State or Territories, the person to whom such labor or service may be due, his agent or attorney, is hereby empowered to seize or arrest such 1ugi-tive from labor, and to take hun or her before any judge of the circuit or district courts of the L'nited States, residing or being wittnn the State or before any magistrate of a county, city, or town corporation, wherein such seizure or arrest shall be made and upon proof, to the satisfaction of such judge or magistrate, either by oral testimony or affidavit taken before and certified by a magistrate of any such tHate or Territory, that the person so-seized or arrested doth, under the laws of the State or Territory lrom which he or she tied, owe service or labor to the person claiming him or her, it shall be ths duty of such judge or magistrate to give a certiticate thereof to fcueh claimant, his agent or attorney, which shall be sufficient warrant for removing the said fugitive from labor to the State or Territory from which he or he fled. Sec 4. And be it further enacted. That any person who ehall knowingly and willingly obstruct or hinder such claimant, his gent or attorney, in so seizing or arresting such fugitive from labor, or shall rescue such fugitive from such claimant, his agent or uttorney, when so arrested, pursuant to the authority he ein given or declared, or shall harbor or conceal such persi after notice that he or she was a lugitive from labor, as aforesaid, shall for either of the said offences, forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars.

Which penalty may be recovered by and for the benefit of said claimant, by action of debt, in any court proper to try the same saving, moreover, to the person claiming such labor or service, his ruht of action for, or on account of, the said injuries, or either of them. Approved, Ftb. 12, 1793. The above extract from the constitution, and the two cited sections, are the authority under which the South act in their pursuit of fugitive slaves, and under which the North is restrained from action in the subject. They are fundamental laws of the land, and as long as our present confederacy lasts, and our present constitution is preserved, we are bound by them.

Such provisions are unpalateable to the Free States, they are contrary to their notious of justice and humanity, but they have agreed to them, as solemn obligations, and they cannot fling them off without breaking a compact voluntarily entered into, and thus introducing anarchy into the country. These constitutional and legal requisitions being acknowledged as binding, the question arises how fur do they extend what duties do they require of the North Simply, we think, that of forbearance. We see nothing in the constitution, and nothing in the law of 1793, that demands any action on the part of the citizens of the Free States to assist in the recovery of slaves; nothing that would call upon our courts, or our state officers to interfere actively in their pursuit; nothing that would require us to open our prisons for their safe keeping. We are simply and only demanded not "to obstruct or hinder" any such pursuit. To this requisition, the legislatures, the courts, the executing officers, and the mass of the citizens of the Free States have yielded obedience.

But now the South, by Mason's bill and by the Compromise, demands that the North shall go farther than this constitutional forbearance, and virtually give the assistance of her courts and officers to send back the fugitive to his master. And this is part of a Compromise that we are called upon to make, before we can receive thonly favour that that bill grants to tho Free States, the admission of California! Mr. Webster discusses at some length, the question of the trial by jury which is demanded by some to be allowed to the slave. He thinks that the Constitution does not require it, that the circumstances of each case would render it difficult to grant, and that the North ought to be satisfied with tho amendment proposed, to allow it in the State from which the escape was said to have been made; considering that it would be anala-gous to the extradition of fugitives from justice, who are seldom if ever allowed a jury trial in the State, where they are captured. In such cases, the mere exhibition of the Governor's demand for the fugitive is a sufficient answer to all the courts, even on application of the Habeas Corpus act.

Maine, as seems by tho late trial of the Wentworths, is an exception to this remark. Those who require a trial by jury in the state to which the slave has escaped, do it, they say, not so much as evidence of the claim to the real slave, as to prevent free persons of color from being kidnapped and illegally carried into states where no one can appear for them, and claim a trial by jury. If the South ask from the North greater strictness in the execution of the constitutional provision, and those of '93, they ought so to guard their requisition of the true slave, as will prevent the illegal seizure of tho free person of color. Some trial is, at least, necessary to establish, at the North, the claim of the pursuer; some evidence from a court of record at the South that will satisfy the proper authorities in the Free States that the person claimed actually comes under the demands of the act of '93 whether before a court or a jury is immaterial. We pass over Mr.

Webster's answer to Mr. Mann, and his attack upon the fanaticism of Massachusetts as being out of our proviuce. We presume he will be replied to, both by the gentleman and the State. EF The Philadelphia North American thinks that the motives of those who sent Lopez to Cuba with so insignificant a force, and the motives of Lopez himself of leaving Cardenas after he had captured it, were simply to so exasperate the Spanish authorities, as to induce them, in their rage, to commit some acts of hostility against the United States, as would lead to a war, which would at once accomplish their object of the conquest atid aunexation of Cuba. The Spaniards are rash and excitable, and their seizure of the two American vessels with their crews and passengers off Cape Catoche' in Mexican waters the attempt of the Tizar-ro to cut the Creole out of Key West and the possible fate of the prisoners carried to Havanna, may lead to the interposition of our Government and to a war with Spain.

GT Letter received in Bostou from Matanza as. ert that, upon the news of the landing of Lopez iu Cardenas, all the inhabitants, of one accord, offered their services to Government. Arms were delivered to them and they were ready to meet the iuvaders had they continued their depredations. This is being invited by the Cubans to assist in flinging off their yoke CP The bill holders of the broken Canal Bank at Albany, are required to present them for payment within two years. country, than to themselves and their expected infant; but so difficult was it found to procure Jhe means for accomplishing this important object, thatherroyal highness had completed the seventh month of her pregnancy before, at its most dangerous point, she w'as enabled to set out toward England.

"Being literally was the expression of her royal husband, "from moving nntil then, through the want of means to meet the expenses of the jouruey." Onecan with difficulty imagine a position more trying to the feelings of a husband and a prince. In this case such an exigency would appear incredible, were it not supported by incontestible evidence. That it brands with cruelty the memory of other parties, and that written documents, still extant, support the charge, is a fact that defies contradiction. The Duke's exigencies were known to the luxurious Sybarite at Carlton-house. They were no secret to the premier, Lord Liverpool.

The regent and his minister were fully cognisant of the Duke's intense, restless, and indescribable anxiety to reach England. They were aware of the situation of the They knew none better than they that that clear sighted woman was tremblingly alive to the importance of her child being born in England, close to the seat of louiesear to speak, Government, and under surveillance, so trreat SfatP Tliev knew that hoth Dnfefl mid Duchess deprecated the idea of their child being bom abroad of its first seeing the lieht in a retired spot in Germany, and being subject to the thousand-and-one rumors that miht hereafter be raised relative to its identity. Where was the affection of a brother 7 where the liberality of a Priuce where the ceaseless jealousy for the honor and interests of his house, which one would suppose would animate the heir apparent to a throne They slept. Not the slightest effort was made by either regent or minister to relieve ha.t noble spirit from the crushing anciety which then oppressed him. No tender of the slightest pecuniary assistance from those in power greeted him.

Firm, devoted, but untitled, and, comparatively speaking, humble friends in England, made the requisite remittances, and surmounted the difficulty. The eldest brother, the regent, the virtual head of his house, was, if the slightest reliance ia to be placed on written decunients, desirous only to surround his path with future and fresh perplexities. A gentleman, whoso opportunities for information were great, and whose testimony is above all suspicion thus writes me in reference to this momentous period "The regent, latterly, took great uniprage at the Duke, ou two accounts. First, for the facts, for such they are, which he introduced in his memorial to the Government of his claims for remuneration for losses, and for fulfilment of the promises made to him by Mr. ritt.

1 lie8e facts related to the Duke ot Ularence, aud to the sums money which his royal highness had received from Government. It was foreseen that these statements would give great offence but the Duke was resolute, and in the memorial went entire. The next time the Duke met his brother, the regent, at the Spanish Ambassador's, he shook hands with the Duchess, but took not the slightest notice of the Duke! Another and further ground of offence was his coming from Atnorbach, against the express injunction of the regent, for the confinement of the Duchess. It was intimated to him (if I can find hisletteron this subject I will forward ii it is preserved) that he would not be well received. This from a Providentially, no injury resulted from the Duchess being obliged to travel at so late a period of her pregnancy; and the journey was accomplished iu sufficient time to answer the proposed object.

On the 24th of May, 1819, a little Princess made her appearance at Kensiugton Palace to be. ere many months passed, fatherless; and within twenty years from that date, to ascend the throne of England.

Fowder Explosion. Office of the Utica Herald, Friday, May 31. A boat loaded with Railroad irou took on board a quantity of powder at Frankfort, near this city, and two of tho bauds went amidships, it is supposed with the intention of stealing some of the powder.

One of them had a lighted pipe, from which it is thought the powder ignited, producing a terrible explosion, making a complete wreck ot me boat, and severely it not fatally injuring one or two men. A man was killed by the engine of the Express train, this afternoon, while lying drunk across the Railroad track. Domestic Goods. The regular business for the season is over, and the sales are now confined chiefly to the closing of the remnants of spring invoices, or the placing of goods to meet the earliest demand from the approaching trade. Something is done every day to prevent a general stagnation, and when the week's entries are footed up, the total amounts to a very respectable sum.

The market is a little more settled in regard to cotton fabrics, and it is generally conceded that they must rule at or near present rates for some to come. A portion of our dealers think the change will be to a farther ad vance.and are disposed to lay in a stock sufficient for their early wants, at present quotations. Others are deterred from this course by the warnings of the ultra tariffpapers.who are predicting a universal crash, to come off the first good opportunity. These panic makers overlook, in the blindness of their zeal, the positive injury they inflict upon manufacturers whom they pretend to serve, by these prophetic annunciation. The general uneasiness created by the publication of such distempered croakings, does more injury to the domestic trade, for the time being, than would a reduction of 5 per cent in the duties upon foreign fabrics.

The export demand has been active, and we trust will continue so during the general dullness in the home trade. JV. Y. Jour. June 1.

Boston Monet Market. Willis Sc. Co's BankNote List for June, in its opening article on tho money market, says: Few years have exhibited a more backward spring than this. Business is. iu a corresponding degree, backward in ourcity.

Our retail dealers complain that their spring trade has scarcely commenced, while our shippers and manufacturers are waiting the turn of events before emparking iu new enterprises. Money is yet scarce, and promises to be so for some weeks to come. The community are feeling more keenly the absence of capital that has been allowed to depart for California, and many are seriously crippled in their means, either by heavy imports from abroad or from excessive exports to the Pacific. Prime business paper may be quoted, in State street, at 7 to 8 per cent, per annum, with a somewhat easier market than a month since. Railroad paper, 9 to 10 per cent, per annum.

"The way the Monet goes." The London packet, just sailed from New York, took about $150,000 in silver; the French packet, $120,000, and the Pacific 000 in silver in all i lie wliole ot tne amount was received at New York from the South and West within a short time. There was some talk about the interchange of commodities, or "dealing it out," as the shop-keepers express it. Mr. Walker, or some other political economist, said we would not have to pay the cash, if we would only let down our duties and use foreign manufactures pretty freely. It was urged by some unscientific persons, that the surest way to secure the custom of those who supply us with fine clothes would be to have them near at hand that the business could also be managed more easily, We do not profess to know exactly how it is.

Perhaps those who admire the tariff of '46 will be able to explain it by and by. The irou-workers of Pennsylvania, who relished the doctrines of the Kane letter, may luve some luminous views on the subject; but we understand their own furnaces willhardly afibrd them much ligjit at present. Things were prospering pretty fairly under the, tariff of '42 ltut they may be in a better condition now. Ap-pearauces are often deceptive.
