derived great entertainment, when divest
ed ot the appendages attendant upon roy
any, in unserving as a passive spectator,
the infinite variety of incidonts and ooett-
nationa with whioh Jiondon abounds.
Being one day at Rundell & Bridge's, sLe
observed, among many other objeets that
attracted attention, one that fixed it. This
was ayoongacd intelligent lady; who was
most sedulously employed in looking over
different gold chains for the neck, which
were alternately presented to her for in
spection. After she had admired several,
she atked ehe price of one whioh teemed
to have peculiarly struck her fanoy. The
price was named. U was more than she
imagined it would have been.
"Could it net be offered cheaper?"
"Impossible !"
Ihe young lady seemed disoonoerted,
examined tbe chain again, took it up, and
then she laid it down a second time, ap
pearing y part from it with reluoUnoe.
However, at length she admitted the price
was far too high, chose a much choaper,
which she ordered to be sent home, and
weut away. The young Princess Victoria
who had silently observed the different
workings of the mind of the lady as dis
played in her countenance, inquired who
she was, and npon receiving satisfactory
information, ordered tbe firm to pack up
the gold chain which had so attracted her
attention, with the one she bad purchased,
and send with a card signifying that the
I'rincess Victoria was so well pleased with
observing that the young lady, who bad
been so much taken with the beauty and
workmanship of the chain, bad yet so
much the command of her passions as not
to suffer them to ovoicomo ber prudence,
that she, therefore, in token of her appro
val, desired her to accept the chain which
-he so much admired, in the hope that she
would always persevere in that laudable
line ol conduct upon which female bappi
noss bo much depended.

and therefore, to tbe end tbat in any event

The bill, of which I he' fore ironic is a sum
mury, now only awaits the signature of the.
President to become a law. In the pres
ent condition of uffuirs, and ul this late
stage of tho aession, it is presumable that ud'.o the Federal
he will waivo objections, it he may have solemn
any, and sign it ; and yet the bill, which
we had not seen till yesterday, is extreme
ly faulty in princip.e, and si II more so in
its detail. Did wo belie ve i practicable at
this limo to cure its inequalities ami delects,
we should invoke tho Executive veto, but
satisfied tbat this cannot bo done, wc call
epon tho people to accept and abide the
law as it is, and to repress all agitatiou,

Martial Law. The House ef Repre
sentatives on Wednesday last passed the
Joint Resolutions, reported by Mr. Russell
Irom the Committee on the Judiciary, as
follows :
I. That Martial Law, in the sense of an
arbitrary suspension of all the laws and
civil jurisdictions, cannot exist within the
Confederate States.
II. That Martial Law, in any sense, it
it can exist within tbe Confederate States,
can exist only by virtue ot Legislative an
tlioiUy.
III. Military Law (for the government
of the forces) is distinct from Martial Law
and it is enacted by Congress in pursuance'
ot the Constitution.
IV. Without martial law, military com
manders may sometimes exert extraordi
nary powers at and near tbe place ocon-
pied by their troops, and. may be justified
by tbe nature and oeoesitios of the service,
and, therefore, by the laws authorizing the
employment of the forces, bat they assume
the hazard of responsibility according te
known principles of law.
