We find, contrary to what was stated in a -jrrtiph published yesterday, thattho English . PLti., i.pprt two duels at Madrid. We have J; ace0unts of ne'of thesi affairs, vhich dif in Boiue particulars, but we copy them both, j,,ijduel has taken place; between the Mar Mis J T'urgot, the French Ambassador, and jr Soule, the American Minister at Madrid, Mah Lord Howdbn acted as second to the in w " . , m i.

At the time, the Duke of Alba de 5jseJ tlie carlet cnt to bi by Mr. StMile, on ikt ground that the quarrel waa a political one; wiiao tnen D ,Ben18 t0 bate reconsidered tte matter. The parties fought with small word. The affair lasted three quarters -of an loor. At length Mr. Soula fell ; when tfye Duke. ith the point of his sword to his breast, forced ' Vtf opponent to retract: It appcara that the .A between the Marquis de Turcot aud Mr. Soulu. sr., originated in the same affair ; so that tbeDuke'uf Alba, by une joke about an Amer ican lady's style of dress, has contrived to get Bp two duels.", J . I A letter from Madrid of December 16th, has the following different account of the affair of toung Soule : A duet ttiok, place yesterday, at 4 P. M., war the Pardo, between the puke of Alba and )Ir. Soule, j r., son f the United States Envoy it this Court. The 6econd of the Duke were (Jen. J- de la Concha and the Count of Punou josuo; and those of Mr. Soule were Colonel jliUns det Bosch, and Mr. Perry, Secretary to American Legation. The parties fought tith swords, but fortunately without either be m woundod, as far as I can learn ; and it end ed in the seconds drawing up a minute of the ijoeeedings as having been conducted in a Banner satisfactory to the honor and reputa tion of both parties. It was also agreed, I am ilja told, that the letters which have passed be tuten them should be mutually withdrawn." THE CABINET'S VICTORY. l ifter the following chuckling fashion, does it editor of tha Union dwell upon the Congres- hobiiI dodge of the Guthrie and Bronson corrcs- pundencer ' !

But we.shall see by-and-bye r. heth er the Union is. right in its calculations. An ksorable man, it is generally! supposed, would feel the tingle of shame in his cheek, when he n compelled to hide any act under the cover tf darkness; but the ''organ" of the Cabinet tends up. excellent shouts at its own cowardice. Itii victory enough for Mr. .Cutting that th Cabinet dare not meet a trial! for its acts. It mrs hack to the wall, and sinks down under veil of obscurity. And yet its silly organ fasts as though it bad achieved a victory. Its wrt enemy could only wish it a few more such Mories. -N. i. Jl. Demo. adta'xcc.ix Flour and Breadstuffs.

MUTUAL INSURANCE" COMPANY, i The Eighth Annual Meeting of the members of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Com pany was held at their ofSce, in this City, on Tuesday, the 10th inst. : The following officers were elected for the en suing year, viz : Col. J. B. G. Roulhac, Presi dent, II. D. Turner, Vice president, S. W. Whi ting, Treasurer, John C. Partridge, Secretary, and J. llersman, Gen'l Agent. The old Board of Directors were re elected. It affords u pleasure to record the prosperity of this, - the oldst Insurance Company in the State. They have issued, during the past year, about 1.100 policies, have promptly paid losses to the amount of about $9,000, and have a sur plus on hand exceeding $10,000 showing nu increase of business of 50 per cent, on the trans actions of the preceding year. BURGLARY. ; The store of Henry B. Hates. Esq., in this City, was broken open on Wednesday night last, and a number of articles abstracted. This is but one out of several daring thefts recently committed in our midst. ; Our Police regulations, generally, and our Night Police particularly, need much improve ment. The officers at present employed doubt less perform their duties faithfully, but they are so few in number, that the whole system looks and operates but little better than a farce. We hope that proper steps will be immediately taken to give it a proper efficiency. i Territorial Government for Nebraska. The Committee on Territories, of the Senate, have made an important report, accompanied by a bill, on the subject of the establishment of a territorial government over Nebraska. The bill is a long one ; but its length arises from those details, which every teriitorial bill must of necessity contain. The bill proposes to establish the teriitorial government at once, and to extinguish the In dian titles afterwards, and to exempt those tracts of country, to which the Indian title has i not been extinguished, from "the operation of the bill, until those titles shall be extinguished iThe most striking and important feature of the bill, when regarded in a political point of view, and considered with reference to the present condition of political affairs, is, that it applies the principles of the compromise of 1850 to the proposed Territory. It provides that the State or States to be erected from the domain included witlvin the limits assigned to Nebraska shall be admitted into the Union, with or without slavery, as the people may elect when they apply for admission into the Union ; arid it further provides, specially and specifical ly, that the fugitive slave law shall be extended to the Territory ol Nebraska, in the same man ner as it applies in the States. This will com , pel the men, whom the President has hugged to his bosom, to show their hands, and let the country know what they understand by the Ad ministration phrase : " Acquiescence in the Compromise measures." BQj" The debate in the House of Representa- tiyes, on the resolution for a vote of thanks to Captain Ingraham, for his conduct in the Kozsta affair, the National Intelligencer says, took a wide range some members supporting the reso lution in an amended form, because it did not commit the country to any principle, and others supporting it because it did assert a principle. Others opposed it for the reason that it commit ted the Government to a questionable principle, and others again, because it did not come up to the feeling of the " great American heart." I.l.w&s intimated, too, during tb discussion, that the principles ". laiddown in Secretary Marcj's letter to the Austrian Minister would undergo a searching investigation, when a refer ence of the President's Message and accompany ing -documents should again be before the Com mittee of the Whole." , - ,r -. ! SjSir We perceive that several of. our"Ex-, changes represent our Senator, Mr. Badges, as having offered a resolution,' on the 9th, "giving limited credit to the Dutch on Railroad 1ron., Now we are not yet " sold to the Dotch," and, indeed, see no probability of any suoh transfer taking place shortly. We teie it that Mr. Badgeb's resolution simply looked to the giv ing limited credit for duties on Rail-road. iron". .that's all. . .f, f - -T- THE HOMESTEAD AGAIN. f TREASON DEFINED.

But can he deny that they were f "'"f u" Union' law of ; treason against the , ji . J J . ; administration. The criminal code of Draco passed by Democratic Congresses? And wnl i,as jjoent for coimp-ic, thn synonyine or up he assert that they were favorite measures oppressive tyranny, because it was not .intclligi Whig Presidents ? Every one knows that the ' blft, by reason of its jiosition and the smallniss Whigs aro averse to an abune or even the fre quent use of the veto power. The Whigs be lieve that the people have a right to rule, and that Congress is the legislative branch of the Government, with which the President should never interfere, except in cases where his Con stitutional scruples, or a higl sense of public duty, compel him. This is all that tha "Stan dard" can allege with any fairness. It is the so-called Democratic party in this State and throughout the County which stands between North Carolina and her rights in th Public Lands. The "Standard," while admitting, as a slight qualification of its eulogy of the present land system, the practice of making grants to Wes tern States, has not ventured to tell its readers the extent of that qualification. Will the Edi tor republish a single paragraph frojm the Pre sident's Message. That is all we ask of him. We allude to the passage in which Gfn. Pierce informs the Country that of twenty Jice millions of acres disposed of during the last fiscal year, only une million were sold and the proceeds placed in the public Treasury! Then will the "Standard" inform its readers that the Washington "Union" has come out in favor of distributing the public lands among foreign emigrants, and others, in otic hundred and 6ixty acre grants? Tfini is allilit reply hi assertions will require. Only let the people know the truth. "IT IS TOO LATE." The "Standard" appears to be in a most un enviable predicament as the champion and de fender of the policy ot the locofoco party in reference to the public lands. The Editor of that journal is known to be a skilful wrrtr and capable of doing justice to the cause he es pouses and j'ct we see him completely driven to the wall on this important subject, lie tind.- hiuiself utterly incapable of defending the un patriotic and unjust ground which party alle giance has driven him to assume. Instead ol meeting the question fairly and squarely in stead of attempting to maintain, as he did om. months ago, that justice is done to North Caro lina by the present laud system, he falls back upon the Resolutions and Platforms of locofod Conventions aud finally upon the ipse dixit u Governor Reid and President Pierce! Is no this a humiliating position ? We eominiserati his unhappy lot. After quoting authorities a: above stated, he finally takes stand as follows: "Here, then, we stand. This is the doctrine on this subject of the Democratic party in all its Conventions it is tho doctine of President Pierce it is the doctine upon which D.itid .S. Ileid was re-elected Governor in 1S52,' by over, five thousand majority. It is too late now, after these declarations of President Pierce, to take the ground that the public lands will be stuan dered on the new States ; and that, therefore, it is the duty of North Carolina to put in her claim for a portion of them." The sum and substance of this is, that it is too late "to do justice to the people of North Caroli na." General Pierce and Gov. Reid and Demo cratic caucuses have decided that the present land systom must continuo ; therefore let the people be sileut it will not do for plain men to oppose the wishes of the great lights of the De mocracy. "It is due to the President," it is due to Gov. Reid it is due to the Democratic Convention, that tho land system should not be disturbed. The rights of North Carolina must yield, because we owe allegiance to the Presi dent ! Such is the logic of the "Standard." On its Digmtv. The " Standard, " after having taken the most unfair advantages of the " Statesman," by endeavoring to prejudice the democratic public against it, in advance of its publication, throws itself upon its dignity, as soon as that paper makes its appearance, and virtually ignores its existence. It will deal " only with open and avowed enemies." Now, whether the editor really feels this dignified sense Of the " Statesman's " non entity, or whether it is restrained by prndential conside rations from incurring that "just retaliation," of which Mr. Castwkix speaks, we do not know, and certainly do not care. We merely put the facts on record as a part of the history of She times. J . The Legislature of Tevxjessee, now in session, have passed a bill to its third reading, appropriating $200,000 more State bonds, which are -to be sold at par, to continue the construction of , tho new State Ilouse.

Aej I ear's Day in Keie Turk Sleigh Hiding Incidents of the Day. , J " 1 New York, Jan'y 9, 1854. ; There is a common saying here, that if jit rains on Friday it will l-ain on Sunday. If it is not always true, it turns out to be so on so many occasions, that there is sufficient warrant for noting this down among other wise saws and modern instances worth knowing. The. rule works both ways, so that if it is clear on Friday it will also be clear on Sunday, an item of tra ditional intvliigcnce, which may be acceptable to sotiit? of the readers of the " Registor," who espeet to find all kinds of knowledge fully regis teied in that popular and valuable journal. On the Friday before 'New Year, (Sunday,) we hid a considerable snow storm, but ort Sa turday morning the sun shone out with addition al lustre. There was a good chance for the adaga to fail this time, but the elements were truu Bu the word, for by ten o'clock on Saturday nighti the heavens were again overcast, aud another enow storm had set iu. This double supply afforded an average level of eight inches snow, and made good sleighing for New Year's, (celebrated on Monday, the 2nd.) and for three or fouir days afterwards. This amusement always renders a Nortkero whiter cheerful and lively. Boys come out with their knee sleds and box sleds, upon whichi they precipitate themselves with reckless daring, uud glide down the declivities presented by some of the btreets. They trail their little .mm nor uusuaus uie ciru , anu on mey.uasn -Mi ... , f .r merry chimes. It is- a fctate law, as well as a municipal regulation, that bells shad be used, but no precautions can nrcvent accidents iu such a .crowd, or rather sucli a universal rush. I Few oninibusses continue to run on wheels;' if they they seem desoiate and deserted ; but here come along the immense sleighs thirty or forty feet long, with dash boards iu front, nine feet higjh, and seats and standing places on the guards fur a whole caravan of passengers, who enjoy a fixe miles' ride for sixpence. As the public twid even private sleighs pass by each other, a loud hout is pealed forth, and the whole city, mure particularly at uight, is surrendered i-Hr shouting, rollicking parties, who are bent i upon excitement and fun. I This has been New York life for several days ! past, until horses and riders are nretty well broken down, and the sheeted snow has all been ground up into dismal mud. Accidents, us usual,, lave been numerous. Large sleighs, like ships, have run down smaller cralt. Inscu sate drivers have b-en hurled headlong into snow bajnks to cool their ardor ; vehicles and limbs have been smashed, and many spirited horses ran awav, c:m or two of them bv mis take, into the river. But sSeiidug is a jrrsat priviletre for New I Year's ; it is glorious to salute the belies by the soutid of bolls. Through .the long streets, the lordly avenues, and all I around the stately squares of the metropolis, ;every house is a ban queuing; scene, and every portal is thrown wide open for the reception of visitors, not tame visi tors either, but old acquaintances, frietids and iovers. Not to call on that day, -is a forfeiture and a slight which cannot be overlooked, and dilficult to atone for. " i 1 1 . i livery dame and every damsel puts on her best, and looks her best. It is all smiles and est, and looks her best. joy. If ihe pall of mourning has fallen on the family home, a Iheiied servant attends the door and' collects the tributary cards upon a silver salver. This is the time to see manners, to study fastiions, and to bask iu the sunny smiles ol beauty and grace. All though is not equal elegance and refine ment. Some lack the attraction of polished aud courteous manners. But all through tho fashionable circles of the haul ton, are seen glorious specimens jf sublimated 'humanity. Here are. ladies whose accomplishments and re finements defy coinpe.iii a. :;i tone, in senti ment, in ; manner, they would take rank with the highest rank in any part of the world. They enjoy the benetiis of wealth, the adorn ments of fashion, and all the embellishments of life. They are familiar with life's splendors, and ;ive them their charm and their currency. Their bosses are palaces, and home a paradise. lieader., picture to yourselt one of the sump tuous mansions on the renowned Fifth Avenue, the strada nueva of New York. As the street door is thrown open, far down through gilded corridors and sweeping halls you discern a cluster of ladies, whose silken robes flutter for a moment at your presence. Lost for an instant to view, they witidjheir way through lounging rooms, picture galhry and dining saloon, until the lady of the house comes sailing into the parlor, where you have besn ushered, surround ed by a bevy of beauties, like Diana attended by her nymphs, or Penelope encompassed by her maids of honor. Every where tables loaded with luxuries and delicacies are outspread. In some plaees, the knowing ones know that the vintages are the very best, and. as the man 6aid when it thundered, that was the time to pray, so then is the time to pour out a libation to the household gods. Once more, let us turn down into street. In a large and siiperb dwelling there lives Mr. ; , whose extensive business con nections are ramified through every State in the Union. He is a widower and wealthy. Sons are away, and no one but little Mary is at home. Little Mary is twelve years of age. and goes to school, but nevertheless she presides over her father's houeehold. Housekeeper and servants obey her commands. Before leaving for school in the morning, she leaves directions until her return. She is home at 2. They dine at 4. If Mary has; shopping to do, she calls a conch, drives off to Grand street, the Bowery, or up and downi Broadway, and is at home at the right hour. Mary entertains the guests ; she is a use ful, sensible, tidy girl, and is fit to be the heroine of some excellent and laudable novel. In another street lives a family with an only daughter.'. They are plain people. Fancy canes and Italian moustaches did not call there on New Yeatfs. In the bloom of youth, the mai den is beautiful. She seems high born, and is remarkable for good . taste and dignity of cha racter. Sbe is an heiress of at least a million. Clever and disinterested young men; who de sire further particulars, can inquire of the "RJ gister's" Correspondent, London Terrace, New York. If not there, four miles further up, at Hamilton Square, ot at his Log Cabin in the new Central Park. ' , ; ' ' " B.'.

Wn.iT a Scotchman May Become At a meeting held in Ediuburgh last week, to obtain "justice for Scotland," Sir A. Alison, the his torian, related the following ahecdetc: Gentlemen,' one very curious thing occurred to show how Scotchmen do rise all the world over, and with this anecdote I will conclude. Marshal Keith had the command of the Aus trian army, which lon eombatted the Turkish forces on the Danube, under tha Grand Vizier, and after a long and bloody combat, the two generals came to a conference together. The Grand Yiziercame mounted on a camel, with all the pomp ot eastern magnificence. The Scotch Marshal Keith, from the neighborhood of Turriff in Aberdeenshire, at the head of the Austrian troops, had a long conference, and al ter the conference, the Turkish Grand Yizier said to Marshal Keith that he would like to speak a lew words in private to him iri his tent, and he begged that no one should accompany him. Marshal Keith accordingly went iu, and the mutuent they entered, and when the confer ence in the tent was closed, the Grand Vizier threw off his turban, tore off his beard, and run ning to Marsha Keith said, "On, Jonnie, foo's a'wi'ye, man." (Loud laughter.) And he then discovered that the Grand Vizier of Tur key was an old school companion of his own, w 1 1 1 j nau ui-appeareu miriy years neiore from a parish school near Methlie. ( Laughter.) r , ' u naon paper, . No Boys. Mr?. Brougham, as the Widow by bell in the "Game of Life?' says "there artf uo boys any longer." True for you there, widow! weotten sign tor the refreshing sights once wit nessed in New York streets, of hoon-trundlcrs. hop-schotchers, blacking-box-rollers, marble shooters, and the sounds of "Ispy" or , "Red Lion," from the grocery cornors, by the heap of barrels Cigar smoking, theatre pits, lager boar and yellow covered literature have enervated "Young America." He sports standing collars at ten smokes at eleven calls his father the "oia un at twelve understands a restaurant at thirteen, and mounts a beaver and talks of the girls at fourteen. Very soon the old line in Mother Goose, "Boys and girls comeout to play," will be a mere historical matter fur antiquarians to ponaer over. i. i. nmes. MARRIED.
