lei lm 8. J. GARTER CO. enborgian service on the occasion have afforded an opportunity to the New York reporters and penny a liners to descant upon the whole proceedings as they would on a horse race or a fight in the Park. The propriety of such discussions, as well as their extreme delicacy the bride, show the rapidity with which the old landmarks of reserve and shrinking modesty are being re moved.

That sensible print, the Philadelphia ledger, has aew remarks on the' general sub ject which seem to have been drawn out by this particular case. It is not much pleased with the taste displayed in publishing the details of mar riage ceremonies, with particular accounts of the behavior, looks and appearance of the bride; the cut, style and material of her costume so minutely described that readers are irresistably led to the conclusion that the editors must have had an intimate acquaintace with the mantua maker, or been invited by the waiting maid to a private inspection of the wardrobe of the bride. Same times the fancy of the writer, glowing with the free wine which he imbibed at the repast, and giving Ms purient imagination free range, flies prophetically into the future and dwells upon its possible contingencies' or bespatters the parties with silly and sickening compliments, upon the beauty of the bride, the cost of her jewels, the wealth of the bridegroom, his landed possessions, the respectability of his fami ly, the pedigree of his aunts, uncles and relatives down to the sixteenth degree of consanguinity, interlarded with fulsome praises of the happy couple, their liberality, taste, the lavish expert. diture attending the marriage fete, and particularly of the eating and drinking, not forgetting a faithful and particular account of the "bridal chamber," with an inventory ot its furniture. Now all this is wretched taste and positively injurious in its effects upon society.

Vanity needs no such stimulation from the public pre to increase its naturally exorbitant growth wealth enjoys sufficient distinction in the possession, and does not require any fictitious aid to make the sooial distinction it creates more marked and invidious. What refined, modest, sensitive and worthy woman wishes to see all the private incidents and necessary accompaniments of. an event, importan to her in her domestic re lations, but not to any of the rest of the world outside of her immediate friends and relations, so publicly paraded and commented upon in the indelicate and shallow manner which distinguish es many of these silly descriptions What should more shock self respect and modeBty than such indecent intrusion into the scanctities of private lite. Such things we are told are some times done at the request of the parties them selves. If so, it proves how the follies of fashionable life, or what is called our best society," may pervert the proper and noble inBtincts of nature, and deprive woman of the chief beauty and excellence of her character modesty, which shrinks from exposure.

By Euch a method a short lived notoriety may be acquired, but cer tainly no genuine respect. A Quiet Spa day. There was a arrest and a favorable contrast between the order of yester. day and the commotions and excitements of two or three previous Sundays, much to the relief of all well disposed people who desire order rather tnan tumult; and peace in preference to contentions. The authorities had taken the usual precautions to preserve quiet, and nearly seven hundred officers were placed on duty to meet any exigency that might arise.

The Mayor took a survey of the city durinpr the afternoon, and found everything orderly. The Angel Gabriel did not make his appearance, but at the usual hour Mr. John Rae ascended a mound of earth on a vacant lot in Atlantic street, and held forth to about 2000 people from the 10th verse, first chap ter of Second Timothy. He delivered a moral and christian discourse without molestation, and when he concluded the congregation dispersed and went home Previous to the preaching a lecture on temperance was delivered at the same place to a collection of Eome five hundred people. A temperance lecture was also delivered at the Fulton ferry, and on none of these occasions was any signs of disturbance manifested.

The day passed off as a Sunday should. The Know Nothing excitement, still continues in New York. According to the Herald there was considerable rioting in the Park yesterday A large number of made, the parties committed being about one half of those who, to all appearance, were Know Nothings, and the other half drunken Irishmen. The latter party showed evidence of hard usage at the hands ol the former, and few were without black eyes and bloody noses. The affair altogether was disgraceful, as it was nothing but a continued scene of rowdyism and street brawling.

The least alarm created a panic, and was the signal for a general ruBh to the quarter indicated by the shouts of those who were happy in being possessed of that unenviable head dress called Wide Awakes." Several of the leaders in rushes" were spotted, and arrested by order of Jude Bekbe and the Chief of Police, whose preparation for the prevention or quelling of any riot or serious disturbance was truly admirable. The following parties were arrested and will be examined to day Wide Awakes Joseph Knight, clerk in Chatham Square P. O. Daniel Collins. Michael Kelly, Eoenzar West, Wm.

The new and splendid Hotel corner of Hicks and Montague streets was formally opened on Satur day, on which occasion a large number of invit ed guests attended. Tha admirable arrange ments of this hotel we have befote noticed, and need only add that now when it is completed in all respects, it affords attractions and advantages to boarders and families unsurpassed by any Hotel in the country, sd several peculiar to itself. We understand that there haB been a great influx of boarders families, and that the enterprise promises the largest success. The viands served up on Saturday included everything the most recherche di'etist could desire and the expertness and attention of the waiters as well as the entire arrangements, were the subject of remark and approb ation by all the guests. Robbery.

The House ot Mr. Jesse Oakley ol West Hills, L. was broken into on Friday night of last week, and a pocket book containing 6, a and Watch valued at about .12 taken The thief entered a chamber windo by getting upon a shed roof, and went out of front door below, a rather good looking, genteely dressed woman. named uampbeli, who Kept a tavern. She soon became notorious.

Of a free and easy disposition, loose notions of morality and winning manners, she attracted hosts of admirers, and among them a sergeant of the line, to whom she was afterwards married. Mrs. Campbell indulged in a great variety of freaks, as moBt of our readers will recollect, before her last departure hence. She was even in court, the observed ot all observers, and sat unveiled. By her first marriage well connected, this loose, unfortunate, and disorderly woman, now convicted of the henious crime of murder under the name of Mrs.

Robinson, obtained the assistance of the late Robert Wood, merchant of this city, on sundry occasions. Married to the late Henry Campbell, she was the wife of a son of an old esteemed friend of the late Mr. Wood, whom Mr. Wood always took an interest in. He forwarded him in the world as far as his influence and money even, would do it.

Nor did he content himself with serviDg to the utmost the son of an old and esteemed iriend. When that Bon had followed the father to the grave, Mr. Wood recollected the wife. That woman repays such kindness by repre senting herself to be a Miss Wood. The miserable convict was sometimes a Presbyterian.

On one occasion, alter the death of her the services of a clergyman to whom Bhe had applied for spiritual aid, Mrs. Campbell obtained a sum of money to enable her to go to the United States, where she represented she had friends. Mr. Wood gave her 20, and the lath Hon. John NeilBon gave her 20.

With this money she started off, went aB lar as Montreal ana returned to Quebec again. Mr. Neilson called to inquire of her friends whether or no Mrs. Campbell had safely reached her destination, and found the individual whom he had so humanely assisted, at home. The good old man, whistled, danced around her and withdrew.

That was Mr. Neilson's mode ot saying, "I have been Eold." Mrs. Campbell, naturally a worthless woman, yearly became worse. She is now reaping the fruits of her worthlessness and endeavors to escape from justice by affecting madness, and by to be one of the daughters ot her husband's Of course MrB. Campbell knew all about Mrs.

Mcintosh and about all the other Miss Woods, and she has improved her knowledge in the most extraordinary way to her temporary advantage, inasmuch as many people did not believe that Mrs. Robinson was not Mrs. Campbell, but a Miss Wood. Murder, however, will out, Quebec Observer. Buncombe.

An exchange giveB the following version of the origin of the use of the word "Buncombe." "Some yeras since.a member of Congress (Hill) from the county of Buncombe, Nortn Carolina, was indulging in a long and very uninteresting harangue in the House or Represntatives. Some attempted to cough him down, others called him to order, but it was of no use; he was determined to have his say, let what would occur. At last the members began to leave, and there was soon scarcely any persons left except the reporters. At this stage of the proceeding, a member who had listened with wonderlul perBeverence, suggested to him that he soon be entirely destitute othearers: whereupon he very coolly observed that it was ot no consequence, as he was speaking for 'Buncombe and not In other words, that his Bpeecb. was intended lor the perusal of his constituents, and not at all to influence tne action oi nis leiiow memDers.

Previous to the passage of the reform bill in England, Buncombe was one of the rotten bor. oughs which returned a member to Parliament Like many others of that stamp, Buncombe con tained no population, and consisted of an ancient ivy growa ruin, having two or three chlmneyB standing. Upon one occasion, as the story goes. the Hon. member for Buncombe arriving in his seat too late to vote on some question where his vote was much wanted, excused his late attend ance by pleading his various engagements, ad dressing his constituents, The joke waB taken, and for a long time after, "talking to Buncombe' was a standard phrase in Parliamentary language.

Sloop op War Cyane about to Depart on a Secret Mission. The United States sloop of war Cyane dropped down from the Brooklyn Navy Yard a few days ago, and iB now at anchor in the North river, opposite the battery. Her crew is on board; consisting of one hundred seamen, ordinary seamen, landsmen and boys, who were transferred from the receiving ship, North Carolina, during the past week. We learn that she will sail from this port on Monday, in obedience to orders issued by the Secretary of the Navy. Her destination is unknown to the public, and it is needless for us to give any direction to the general suspicion which will be entertained on the subject.

The following is the list of the officers of the Cyane: Commander: Geo. N. Hollins. Pickering, Reed, Fanteroy and Edwards. Surgeon: George Peck.

Acting Master: Wm. L. Wilcox. Purser: Upham. Passed Midshipman Samuel L.

Breeze. Boatswain: Felix Hewlett. Gunner: James A. Lilleston. Carpenter: Edward Williams.

Sailmaker: Daniel C. Brayton. Post. An Interesting Relic The outside case of an old French gold watch, bearing evident marks of its having been in UBe, was exhumed on Monday from the ruins of the magazine of the old French lort (DaqueBne) at Pittsburg. On the out side of the case is in rough and unsymmetrical characters, the following inscription "Presented to James Wetherell, by his iriend, George Washington, May 3, 1755." It was about tne lst'ot May ol that year Braddock crossed the Potomac at the commencement of hiB ill fated expedition for the reduction of Fort Duquesne, and, as is well known, Washington was with him.

It is supposed, therefore, that Washington gave the watch to some comrade named Wetherell, who was either killed or made prisoner, and this watch taken by his captor, afterwards lost at the Fort, where ic has remained undiscovered until now. The case bears indubitable evidence of being an ancient piece of workmanship, and is now in the hands of the Janitor of the Merchants' Exchange, at Pittsburg. The Rural Population of England. The reporters of the sanitory condition ot the rural population of Bedfordshire (England) give a deplorable account of the people tney visited. They say that the houses of the laborers consist at most ol two rooms me uuy room contains iue cooking utensils, the washing apparatus, the agricultural implements and the dirty cloth.

Tne windows in most cases, are broken and stuffed with dirty rags. In the sleeping apartment, parents and children, boys and girls, are indiscriminately mixed and frequently a louger sleeps in the same which generally has no window, while the openings in the half admit the light and expose the family to disease. The husband having no comfort at home, seeka the beer shop the children grow up without any idea of decenoy or self rcBltaint the boys enter into situations in rags, without a particle of instruction and as to the girls, alas, their fate is worst of all." Death of a Noted Morgan Horbb. The far lamed Morgan horse Nimrod, owned by Judge Smith, of East Berkshire for the last 17 years is dead. He has never been moved from nis stable as a sire.

He has left more uniform good stock, it is believed, than any horse ever in Vermont. He had few equals and no superior it iB a loss in point ot property, and to the county as a stock horse, for the horses that have honestly Morgan blood in them are few thousands ot horses are passed for Morgans thai have no Morgan blood about them. Nimrod was twenty years old. St. Albans, Theoase will be jecpileoteds the one in which cd bis house and killed his wife, while he ran to A neighbor for assistance.

Bat a servant girl subsequently confessed that, to her knowledge Mr. Fyler killed his wife previous to his leaving the house. Gen. Nye, for the defence, stated thai this was a very peculiar case. The priBoner was subjected to attacks of epilepsy, which had several times taken the form of mania, under whioh he had, without doubt perpetrated the deed.

A person long resident in the familj, and aware of these circumstances, was now in California and they could not be justified in trying this case till his testimony could be. seoured. He therefore asked that this case, which had not beed on the calendar over ninety days, should not be hastened but postponed until another term. Mr. Hills followed Gen.

Nye, further declaring that he had evidence which he wished to gather together, to show that an inoffensive man and of unexceptionable character, bat subject to this disease. His speech occupied some twenty minutes. The Court yesterday ordered the postponement of the trial till the next term, for the pur pose of procuring the attendance of the witness (Mitchell, who livsd with the family of Fyler tor several years,) in California. Plea for thb Ailanthtjs." Major French, Commissioner of Publio Buildings, has favored the Washington Sentinel with a dissertation upon the ailanthus, presenting a plea for the preservation af the female of this speoies oi tree. He says: The ailanthus is a tree of Dioeious class, having its staminate and pistillate, or male and female blosBoms on different trees.

The staminate blossoms, only, it is said, are offensive, the pistillate blossoms having very little odor, not enough to onenu tne most lastiaious anouia this be found to be correct, as I am satisfied, though not by personal investigation, it is, a discrimination may easily be made in favor of the innocent temate member or tne ismtiy, trniie the disagreeable Bex may be exterminated." In most oities, the staminate trees are far more numerous than the pistilate. About noon yesterday, a dispute arose, in house No. 1 Endicott street, of doubtful reputation, between the landlady, Catharine a girl from New Bediord, named Sophia Horton. An angry altercation ensued, during which Mies or Mrs. Gray area a douDle oarreiea pistol, aiming at the head of lady Sophia.

The latter, however, only had one of her hands scorched by i i .1 ti the powder, ana tne Dtiueis loageu iu iue wan, from which they were extracted by officers Os trander and Mclntire, who heard the report and rushed to the scene just in time to prevent further violence. The sporting ladies were escorted to No. 1 police station, and this morning were taken before the police court, where the sharp shooter was held in $3000 bail for trial lor "assault with intent to kill," and the escap ed victim in $100 as a witness. The latter obtained bail, but the former was committed in default. Boston Trans.

Bocock, Chairman of the Navy Committee in the House of Representatives, reported a bill on Saturday, for the re organization of the Navy which we find published in the Herald. The bill is said to be a joint production of the Committees of the two houses on the subject, and the secretary of the Nary. The Board of fficers to be convened by the President, for the purpose, shall determine and prescribe the uniform of personnel ot the navy, and report the same to the President of the United States, who may, if he approve the same, cause it to be adopted. The pay of Navy Officers of all gradeB is fixed and previsions made for a thorough re organization of the Department. The principal features of Mr.

Bocock's bill are the establishment of a higher grade of officers than captains namely, "flag officers a reduction of the whole number of officers, so as to leave as few idlers in the service as possible a retired list a board of reform increased pay for sea service stringent rules to prevent as far as possible continned leave of absence promotion not to be based exclusively upon date of also upon general qualifications; and provisions for the meritorious discharge of seamen and inducements held out to them to re enlist. The question of assimilated rank between officers ot the navy and army is settled a Judge Advocate is also provided. It is further provided that there shall be an increase of seamen and marines to the number of three thou tand, whose pay is greatly increased, and inducements to gocd condnct and re enlistments are made. We occasionally stumble on cases of heroism worthy of an Olympian crown and a place among the gods. Such a case is presented by one of our Excise Commissioners, who has written down a speech, and we believe reported it himself to a portion of the press, in which be declares that "unless he shall be thoroughly convinced in every case of application for license, that an overruling necessity, founded on the public wants and general need of the community, where it is sought to plant these liquor and requires their establishment shall for one decline to grant them." The license laws require that the public necessity must demand the establishment of a tavern when a license is granted, and the Commissioner Bays he will require it also before agreeing to grant any licenses.

He is aware that an indictment stares him in the face should he do anything else. II the declaration means an intention to execute the excise laws faithlully, it is merely to do the duty for which the Commissioners were elected; and we Buppose no one will boast of a determination to do anything else. In any case we can see no great cause lor such immense self glorification. "We learn by telegraph that the Proclamation of Mayor Conrad, of Philadelphia, respecting the Belling of intoxicating liquors on Sundays, was yesterday generally respected by the tavern keepers. Some of them, however, although they closed their front doors, sold to customers entering by back doors while otherB Bold openly, designing to contest the constitutionality of the law.

Most of the "rummies" resorted to Camden and Windmill iBland, where a brisk business was done. The city ib said to have been unusually quiet not a drunken man seen during the day. Riot at Pottsville, Pa. An affray oicnrred on Saturday night, at Pottsville, growing out oi the Know Nothing excitement. Thomas Keam, an American was found dead in the street terribly cut and gashed about the body.

John Mann was also cut and bruised. John Dougherty an Irishman, was also stabbed, but was arrested on suspicion of killing Keam. Much mystery prevails about the bloody affair, and great excitement exists. A Boston clergyman, who was arrested on a charge of being engaged in the Anti slavery riot in that city, had an encounter with the officers, in which he received a very severe looking black eye, which prevented his preaching his sermon on the succeeding Sabbath. The venerable Watts, in one of his hymns, has some wholesome advice respecting the rising oi one's angry passions, which is applicable to the shepherd as to his fiock.

Eligah F. Purdy' of New York, has been appointed Commissioner of Emigration in place ot Geo. W. Blunt, superseded. The Albany At las declares the appointment to be an excellent one, Mr.

Health op New Yokk. The New York City inspector states in his regular weeklv bulletin that there were filty Beven deaths from cholera in that city last week, which, added to the 26 previously noticed, makes the total number ol deaths irom this disease that have occurred dur ing the present season, eighty three. The entire uumuer oi aeatns last week was 429. Fire Marshal A New Officer.

General Cass does not intend replying to uisnop iiugneB letter. He Has no intention of prolonging the controversy and now leaves the matter In other hands.

Naval Enlistments. The enlistments for the naval service are increasing every day, and government does not experience the former difficulty of procuring able seamen. More than usual interest prevails over the country in getting up a proper celebration of the coming Fourth ol July. In Owego the Eev. Dr Cox is set down as orator.

Eev. E. H. Chapin has been engaged to delivei an oration at the Crystal. Palace on the Fourth of July.

John Cavanaoh (convicted) and the majority of the Board, was indicted for misdemeanor in granting licenses to improper persons. The District Attorney conducted the prosecution, and A. H. Gale, appeared for the defendant. At quarter to twelve o'clock the Court proceeded to empannel the jury, and the following were sworn in out of a panel of twenty four: David Stewart, H.

T. Tabor, Stephen H. Cornell John H. Rhodes, John Jones. The panel became exhausted at this juncture, and the Court adjourned until to morrow.

Doings at ibe Navy Yard. The difficult work of inserting a new keel in the frigate Sabine is nearly accomplished. Only two sections of the timber remain to be put in, and these will probably be in their places in the course of a week. The old keel and kelson have been entirely taken away, as well as all the dead wood in the frame of the ship. Twenty five feet of the old fashioned bow of the Sabine has also been sawed off, and she now appears a vessel of four decks.

The ship carpenters are busily engaged in the preparation of the live oak timber for the forward addition and modern bow of the frigate. Every thing in the ship house indicates that the alterations and improvements of the Sabine will be carried on vigorously. Messrs. Pease Murphy, of New York Fulton Foundry, have finished the new piston rod for the United States steamship Princeton, and it was delivered on board of the vessel during the week. The machinery is now in a fair way to be in running order by tlis 2fiih when, it no more breakdowns occur to this dear government ship, she may be able to take a trip down the bay.

Nothing has yet been done in the yard towards building the new steam frigate ordered by Con" gress, save the enlargement of the ship house Geo. Steers, the conductor, will probably get his plans in order for business in a week or ten days more. The new light boat "Sandy Hook," which was taken into the Naval Dry Dock last week, repaired and floated out again, was found to leak so badly afterwards that she was taken in for caulk, iag a second time. She was let out on Thursday and is now in the Wallabout saw mill. The surveying steamer Corwin is now undergoing repairs in the Naval Dry Dock.

The steamer Vixen will make a trial trip to Sandy Hook in a few days. Men are re caulking the outside seams ot the razee Independence. In every other respect she is ready for sea. The enlistments for the naval service are in. creasing every day, and government does not experience tho former difficulty of proouring able seamen.

There is quite a fleet at the yard at present consisting of the following vessels Frigate Congress, 44 guns. Razee Independence, 54 guns. Receiving ship North Carolina, 74 guns. Steamship Princeton, 10 guns. Steamer Vixen, 3 guns.

Surveying steamer Corwin. Light boat "Sandy Hook." The large workshop building for the black smiths, is nearly finisned to its intended height. It will be roofed a month hence. A pleasing sight to the visitor is the beautiful garden of Commodore Boarjian, on the left ol the entrance to the yard. It is laid out with taste and kept in good order.

Every variety of plant and flower, we believe, adorns the grounds. Brooklyn, May 31. A. Clarke, Esq. Dear Sir Permit me on behalf ol Mis.

Holmes and all the different members of her family, to present, through, you, to tnose wno uniteu with you in the work of erecting a Monument to Mr. Holmes, their cordial acknowledgements and grateful thanks. The noble Monument you have erected to the dear departed, while it eo kindly commemorates the virtues of your late Superintendent, will also bear testimony to your taste, and sympathy, and generosity.

You will have our thanks'; our fullest, warm est thanks too lull, too warm, to be adequately expressed. You have comlbrted the widow and the fatherless, and your reward will certainly come. Most respectiuliy yours, Thomas F. Gciox, On behalf of Mrs. Holmes and family A Goose Ninety Thrce Years Old.

Mr. Everett, larmer, of Kirby Lodge, near Rocking ham, has a goose which he vouches to be at least ninety three years old. It haB been on his farm lull liity years, and passed the former part of its life ou the farm adjoining. It is a large line witn a neaa ana nejk as white as snow, and has lately hatched a brood of eos liugs from its own oygs. Mr.

E. has a book stating its age and history, which he can authenticate. If we were to pluck a quill lrom this antiquated goose and write ito biography, it might not he an uninteresting record. The echoes ol the Scotch rebellion had scarcelyceas ed when it first peeped from beneath its shell into the wide world, and possibly its immediate ancestor smoked at the lestive board at the coronation of the third George. It cackled at the Gordon riots, and hissed when Wilkes was made state prisoner.

It was hatching with the first French revolution, and screamed when Napoleon le Grand threatened to invade our shores, and also when O'astleioagh was made Prime Minister. Like many otner bipeds, it has brooded over scores of addled eggs, and grown no wiser irom experience but though year alter year has tlown by, they leave the "giddy goose', still.
