Somewhat Romantic. A day or two since we announced the marriage of Miss Susan Denin, with a Mr. Fletcher Woodward. The following particulars have transpired, which we find in the Buffalo Commercial Our city was the scene of an exciting affair yesterday, the general outlines of which we con sider ot sufficient public interest to give in detail. Miss Susan the handsome and clever young actress, yesterday became Mrs.

F. Woodward, having been married rather unexpectedly. It appears that Mr. who is a gentleman of Syracuse, in excellent business and affluent cir cumstances, has for a year or more been in love with Miss Denin. He has followed her from place to place has written her letter after letter, but has never been able to make her acquaintance, and his letters were never received it now seems, by the young lady.

On Saturday, it is reported, Miss Denin had some disagreement with her step father, and guardian. Yesterday morning the friendly relations between them had not been resumed, which young W. tried to turn to his advantage. His father, at his request, called on Miss U.s guardian, she having finished her eighteenth year and proposed the marriage of his son and Miss offering, it is said, to give the guardian a large sum ($5,000 is named) for any prospective loss he might sustain. This was refused young W.

then gave a domestic $50 to carry a note to Miss during her guardian temporary ab sence. The colored gentleman proved a faithful Ganymede, and delivered the missive. Miss D. sent for the writer she had never seen him, he arrived at her room door, when she met him. "Do you want to marry me are yon in earnest was her salutation.

"I do, and will." for a priest." The Rev. Mr. Sheldon answered the summons. Mr. Warren and his lady and some other friends were present and the ceremony was performed.

United States Senatb. The proceedings of the Senate, save in the matter of appointments, are of but little interest. Yesterday, Mr. Brod head called up his resolution requesting the Sec retary of the Treasury to furnish the Senate, at the commencement ot the next session, a state ment showing the entire amount of TJ. S.

Stocks and Bonds of all kinds held abroad. He said the information could be obtained by the Secre tary addressing circulars to the Governors of States, Presidents of Railroads and other companies and officers of municipal corporations. He said the account current of the United States for the laBt fiscal year with foreign countries, will show an excess of imports over the exports of the country, ot forty millions interest annually payable to foreigners on the stocks, held by them eighteen millions; expenditure of travelers, five millions; Navy, War and Diplomacy, three millions: Instalment to Mexico, three millions; Remittances to Ireland five millions Total seventy four millions. From this deduct the probable amount of gold and silver brought into the country by immigrants ten millions. Leaving the sum of sixty four millions as the balance against the United States, toward the settlement of which we have official record of the exportation above the importation of thirty seven mil lions of gold and silver: and the balance, of twenty seven millions, has no doubt been liquidated by the remittance of Federal, State and other stocks.

Mr. Seward said he would cheerfully vote for the resolution, but differed from the gentleman in some of his statements. The resolution "was adopted. "What a curious trait tharis in women their exai anxiety to Bee one who has been loved by aman in whom they inumseiTeB an lniareii." Well yes rather curious; great many curious things in this world. Curious your husband will insist upon knowing who gave you that little gold ring on your finger Curious that such an ugly frown comes over his phiz when he sees those caoaimtic marks (in a masculine hand) in the margin of your favorite poet.

Curious you can't name your oldest boy Vivian" without telling him your confidential reasons. Curious that he makes you change your seat at a concert for fear of a draft whenever one of your old lovers approaches. Curious you can never unlock your little writing desk without having his mar ried eye peeping over your shoulder. Curious he's always most gracious to the most uninter esting: men who visit the house. Curious he's dead set against your riding horseback when everybody says you're "just the figure for it." Curious that he makes his partner take all the little bvsines.i trips of the firm.

Curious he'B averse to your "taking the air," unlesB he snuffs it too. And marvellously curious, and decidedly disaereeable whenever you ask him for money, that he's always so busy reading tha newspaper that he never hears you avny ft erk. Buildings are going up like magic in the vicinity of the Crystal Palace, New York, and enor mous rents were demanded for mere shells. A room in one of the wooded buildings, opposite the Palace, 25 feet front by 60 or 70 feet deep was rented at thxrtv nve hundred, dollars per year. The Palace itself is getting along very slowly, and it is said that the projectors care more about selling the late than they do for the exhibi tion.

o'clock. P. M. Roll called, the following members answering to their names as being Present John Rice, President, presiding; Aldermen Green, Holt, Neoly, Marvin, Fowler, Merrill. Booth, Hawxhurst, Remson, Queen, Graham, Wilson, Oliver, Harteau, Hinman, Dayton.

The minutes of the two previous meetings were read and approved. Alderman Marvin presented a protest signed by r.t I "1.," Jn the salary of the Mayor' messenger from S250 to 8400 a yeur. In Common Council. Brooklyn, April i. 1853.

Whereas Aid. Harteau, Chuir.nan of the Finance committee, made a report to the Common Council on the 30th of March, 1853, on the. petition of J. Whitney, the Messenger of the Mayor, in favor of raising said Messeneer's salary from 8250 to 8400 per annum, which report waa read and declared to be approved, without oeing nenra or unoerstooa py the undersigned, members of the Common Council and whereas a motion was made to reconsider tne same, which motion was lost, whereby the under signed were deprived of the privilege of recording their voles against the adoption of said report; and whereas the underlined, believing mat the duties of the Messenger are light, and are suitably compensated by the salary of 3250 a year, and that said increase I Hilary is'a violation ofthe spirit of the charter, as per section 27, title and inasmuch as said communication was never presented in the Finance committee, they do hereby protest against the same, and ask to have their protest entered at large upon the minutes of this Board. Chas.

R. Marvin, Eli Mehrill, C. C. Kowleb, W. W.

Green. Aid. Harteau objected to some statements in the pretest. It stated that the report had been clandestinely introduced, which was not the fact. He had never brought in any matter in the sneaking manner insinuated.

The report had been presented to each member individually, and that it was not presented to the whole in committee, was a mere technicality which he would be ashamed to take advantage of. If they engage in conversation in the Board, and pay no attention to business, it was their own fault. Aid. Dayton said he did not ace in the 27th section of the charter, any ground for this protest. It is perfectly competent for this Board to raise any officers Balary.

1 will admit it refers to officers elected, but the Common Council are to appoint clerks at such salary as they deem necessary. The protest set forth that the Common Council had done what the charter forbids, which is not the fact. Aid. Marvin That is our opinion we have a right to it 1 suppose. Aid.

Dayton But you have no right to compel the Board to adopt your opinion. I move that the part ol the protest referring to the charter be stricken out, as it has no bearing on the subject, the messenger not being an elective officer. Aid. Merril said that from the expluntion made by Aid. Harteau, he was convinced there was no desire on his pott to smuggle in the report, and he withdrew any thing that could bear such an explantion.

The protestors he said considered that the Mayor's messenger came within the 27th section of the charter, and that the salary wa9 large enough, as hundreds of other could be had for the same num. Such Legislation as this he thought would give a bad character to the Common Council, and would cause an influence to operate upon the minds of the Legisla tors at Albany against this city. Men ot high standing in thiB community who have presided over this Common Council as I am well informed, and believe have written to the Legislature in favor of that abomination bill the Williamsburgh bill because they Wanted confidence in the Board. Aid Wilson said the charter gave them a perfect right to raise the salary of subordinate officers, and he thought it due to raise the messenger's salary. What man can live'on S250 a year, and support a family'? He was willing to take the responsibility of giving this man something to keep him from starving.

He believed no other would take the place at the original salary unless a cripple. Aid. Dayton said the gentleman having asked leave at the previous meeting to nrotest, the leave did not carry with it the right to state in that protest things that were not facts. Why did they not ask this honorable body the right to state anything they chose truth or untruth? In that protest is stated what is not a fact, that the charter is opposed to the increase of tile salary of an officer who is not elected. Aid.

Marvin We did not state It as a fact, but as our opinion that we believe it to be a fact. Aid. Dayton And you ask us to adopt your belief. The majority ot this Board is responsible for the action of this Board, and you will hold them accountable, and that is the purpose of asking to place thut protest on the minutes, that you can again take issue on what is on the minutes. But I take my stand, and ask that things untrue might not be placed upon the minutes.

It is stated in the protest that the gentlemen signing it did not hear there port in favor of raising the salary read. They were at the time laughing and talking about the chairman of another committee whom they would endeavor to fling disgrace upon. The protest says we overstep the charter if we raise this salary, and the gentleman says that we should overstep the charter were we to raise the Mayor's salary. But who did raise the Mayor's salary 1 It waa the Whigs of 1852. It was a trap, but it caught no bird.

No go to the Comptroller's office and see if he has drawn the increase of salary. An Alderman He has too much honesty. Aid. Day ton But there was not too much honesty in the Whig Board of 1852 to raise it. Allusion has been made to the great increase of salaries by the present Board.

Where is the salary that has been increased The Mayor's messenger, who waits upon the gentlemen themselves, because we give him 8400 not as much as is given to a policeman. This action is to prepare for the election of next fall; it is talked of in different offices already. Let us have this protest as it should be to guard your rights, not to invade ours. Let it be spread upon the mintutes, and let the protestors have all the benofit arising from the fact that they will not pay a poor messenger 84UU per yenr. Aid bowler said Aid Dayton, as a calumniator, was not equalled in the Board.

He is held responsible for nothing; nor can anything from him mnkt an impression; and a good deal morool similar character. He said that the protest could not be altered. Aid. Harteau said the interpretation of the protest was, that the report had not been presented to the members of the Committee, while it had been presented to each of thern. Aid.

Holt said the protest could not be altered any more than a man's note could be altered if it was for 8100 to alter it to S1000. If they could alter one part, thev might alter another, and thu9 make the sicners say just what they disbelieved. Aid. Merrill the chair if the motion to amend would be in order, ami was answrcd that it would. Aid.

Fowler appealed from the decision of the chair. On the suggestion of Aid. Harteau, Aid. Dayton withdrew his amendment. Aid.

Harteau then moved that the following words be stricken out: 'Inasmuch as the said com munication was never presented in the Finance Committee." The Chair decided that the motion was in order, which was appealed from, and the decision sustained by the following voto Ayes Hawxhurst, Morris, Remsen, Graham, Wilson, wycKott, lver, Harteau, JJayton S. Noes Green, Holt, Neely, Marvin, Merrill, Fowler. Queen, Hinman 8 Aid. Hawxhutst men moved to lay the whole sub ject on tno table, which was adopted by a vote of 10 to b. Aid.

Djyton arose to explain his position in refer ence to a charge made against him as chairman of the Railroad Committee, when he was called to order by Aid. Neely. Aid. Fowl asked if a member should not take his seat, when called to order. The Chair observed that lie found it impossible to enlorce tne ru le in tnat respect.

Aid. Graham thought the audience outside must be better amused than they would be at a theatre, where they would pay 2b cents. The Chair then pronounced the whole discussion out of order. Petitions, frc. Biil of C.

Merrill stated that he had found a number of ordinances, passed at various times, which were not embraced in the printed copy of thu charter, one of which gave the Mayor the power to grant stage licenses. He moved that the several reports of the Stage com. made at the last meeting be declared only recommendatory, as said reports conflicted with the power granted to the Mayor, by nn ordinance adopted June 10th, 1850, and approved.

Aid. Dayton presented the following: Whereas, At a meeting of the Common Council ol the city of Brooklyn, held 30th March 1853, a charge was made by Aid. Chas. C. Fowler, of the 4th Ward of said city, that the chairman of the Railroad Committee, John A.

Dayton, Aid. of the 11th Ward, had neglected to perform his duty as chairman of said Committee, by not makings report according to the direction of a majority of said Committee, on the petition of certain parties asking for permission to lay down a rail track on Division avenue, in said city, and that it was stated he was about to report in direct opposition 'o said order Whereas, Said Fowler charged said Dayton with lalsehood, in stating that he had never been so ordered by said Committee; and Whereas, Aid. Wilson, Remsen, Graham, and Dayton, beings majority of said Committee, have mjde a certificate (hereunto annexed) staling as follows Brooklyn, April 4th, 1853. The undersigned members of the Railroad Committee of the Common Council, of which Committee, Aid. John A.

Dayton, is chairman, do certify and state that we havo never ordered the chairman to make any report in relation to a railroad on Division avenue, as charged by Aid. Fowler, at the meeting of the Common Council, held March 30th, 1853; and we further state no report has ever been ordered hy us, in relation to anv other matter referred to or connected with the duties of said Committee, except the report which was made by the chairman in reference to the use of steam on Atlantic street. Thus clearly showing that the Biid charges of Aid. Fowler against Aid. Dayton were erroneous and unfounded Signed by Ald.

Wilson, Ald. Remsen, Ald. Graham, Ald. Dayton. Therefure Resolved, That in the opinion of this Board, the chairman of the Railroad Committee of the Common Council, has not neglected his duty nor disobeyed the instructions of said Commiltee, and is exonerated from the charges made against him by Aid.

Fowler, which charges were that he had acted dishonestly, unmanly, and falsely, in reference to the matter of reporting upon petitions to lay rail tracks on Division av. also Reiolvtd, That there is no ground for said charges in the opinion of this Common Council laid on the table. Aid. Dayton informed the Chair. that a report drawn up by him and presented to the sevora 1 members of the Railroad Committee for their signatures, and which report was hie property as Chairman of said committee, had been taken from his desk by Aid.

Fowler, who refused to return it. A very confused scene ensued. Fowler and his party insisting upon an adjournment, which at last was carried, 'when Aid. Dayton stated that if the Board failed lo protect him in his rights he would do so personally. The Board then adjourned lo next Monday evening at 7 o'clock.

Atmospheric Telegraph. Mr. I. S. Richardson, of Boston, has invented a machine, the operation of which was witnessed by a company of scientific gentlemen and members of the press, on Saturday, at room No.

The letter or package to be conveyed is folded, and placed in a bag attached to a plunger, and is propelled by a pressure of air. The plunger is so arranged that the air cannot pass it. No friction is created. We saw packages pass and repass the tube mentioned above in a second.

We understand that an Atmospheric Telegraph Company has already been formed, and that a line is to be established between this city and New York, having stations at Worcester, Springfield, Mr. Richardson 'is very confident that by means of the tube letters can be conveyed to New York, from Boston, in fifteen minutes or as speedily as business is now done by telegraph.

The echoes from Connecticut, this morning, i ghow that the democrats have lost nothing since the battle for Pierce ana King, last fall.

The returns are not full, but they indicate the re election of Gov. Seymour he success of all the democratic nominees for Congress and a democratic majority in both houses of the Legislature. The returns may show that these indications are fallacious, but such is the appearance of the canvass this morning. Colin J. Ingersoll is re elected to Congress, from the New Haven district, by an increased majority, and the vote on Governor also shows an increased democratic majority.

This, we suppose, may be taken as a sample of the State at large. New Haven city sends to the State Senate, one whig and one democrat, both of whom are the advocates of a stringent Liquor law. Stamford also elects two Maine law men, both democrats. This is about all that we have, as yet, on the Maine law controversy. The Tribune, which is unusually careless in regard to the returns, discourses on this wise of the prospect: In the present ense, we can better afford to wait than almoBt aver before.

We know the voterB did not nearly nil turn out and face' the chilly, rainy north easter of yesterday we can Sues which aide mainly staid at home. The whigs were in isorder or paralysis, and the rampant democracy was stimulated to energy by the yet undivided spoils in immediate prospect, and had the mighty rum power at its back. We consider the state eone as last vear. Gov. Sevmour and his col leagues on the state ticket re elected by the people, Messrs.

Pratt, Seymour Ingersoll and Belcher elected to Con Kress, with a democratic and ami temperance majority In either House of the Legislature. If the returns should afford ns any improvement on this prospect, we shall consider it Just so much clear gain. The Crystal Palace. It has been reported that the rafters prepared for this magnificent structure had proved, on trial, to be too short, and that the completion of the edifice must accordingly be delayed for new ones to be made. We learn, however, that this report is wholly incorrect, and that no such cause of delay exists.

The directors are straining every nerve to get the ex hibition open in May, but the novel character of the building renders its construction somewhat difficult, so that it will be impossible to have it finished on the day first appointed. Still the delay will not be great, and we are assured that at all events the opening may be expected by the first of JuneA Prom this, we are told, one great advantage will be derived, namely, that the exhibition will be more complete and splendid than it'could be made at the earlier date at which it was first proposed to open it. Executive Session. To day is the regular day for the Executive session but we suppose that the whigs will be retained in their places as before. We see that Mr.

McMurray, cf the Senate, has reported adversely to any increase of the Harbor Masters, probably for the reason that we have now more than can be managed. If the number were to be increased they could not get appointed. We suspect that the spoils portion of the democracy will be less anxiouB for a change of administration, hereafter, than they have been heretofore. Marcy's maxim "To the victors belong the spoils," must be changed and made to read Ihus "To the vanquished belong the spoils." President Pierce. The Boston Journal says the President recently appointed a person to a responsible and lucrative office, and the individual immediately went on a "glorious jollification.

The Senators who had recommended him to the favor of the President, finding that he had disgraced himself and was unworthy of confidence, waited upon the President, stated the factB, and asked for his removal from office. The President said If I were to remove him now, the consequence would be inevitable ruin to him. The shame and disappointment attending his dismissal from office under such circumstances, would lead him to find solace in the intoxicating bowl, and he would become a confirmed inebriate, whereas, if this conversation is repeated to him, he may and probably will reform, and become a sober and exemplary citizen. 1 shall notremove him from office for this offence but this, as it has been the first, so will it be the last time I can forgive him." Snails. A French paper says that snails have become quite a fashionable article of diet in Paris, as they were in the days of the old Romans.

There are now fifty restaurants, and more than twelve hundred tables in Paris, where snails are accepted as a delicacy by from eight to ten thousand customers. The monthly consumption of this molluscan is estimated at half a million. The market price of the great vineyard snails is from 2f. 50c to 3f. 50c.

per hundred, while those from the hedges, woods and forests, bring only from 2 to 2f. 25c. The proprietor of the snailery in the vicinity of Dijon, is said to net over 7O0Of. annually. From Albany.

A telegraphic despatch from the State capital says Ihave the information from various quarters, that the Governor will order the Legislature to hold on after the close ofthe one hundred days. Unless he does there will be nothing done for the Canals or the Code Extra sessions are always mischievous, but I expect an extra BesBion to begin with the close of the one hundred days. We trust that there is no foundation for this report. The Legislature has done nothing but quarrel since they have been together, and tke longer they sit the worse it will be for the State Let us have a new shuffle of the cards before any thing important is attempted. New York.

What a heaven on earth that New York is. Not only are the Aldermen corrupt and the courts it seems that her Grand Jurors are no better than the rest.

April term of the N. Y. courts has commenced. The most important cases to be disposed of are the Kaine extradition case in the IT. S.
