mouth and gums during this process. Tin

It' these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uoi
versallv supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of ihe infant. If mothers who
have their little babes afflicted wild these
distressing symptoms, would apply Dr
William Evans's Celebrated Soothing
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought pasl recovery, from
being suddenly attacked wild lhat fatal
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought pasl
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, thai
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
nge of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never he
without the Syrup in ihe nursery where
there are young children; for if a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums, j

and no recurrence of thai awful complaint

health. I give you my cheerlul permission

Will gladly give any information on ibis

When children begin to be in pain with

teeth are just coming through their gums,
lumbers should immediately apply ihe sy

fever, and undergoing that painful opera
tion of lancing ihe gums, which always
makes the tooth much harder to come
through, and sometimes causes death.

THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.
Th? ceremony of the Q teen' miniate
took. place on Monday, Feb. 10th, at the
Chapel Roval, St. James's. 'he; diy
was inauspicious, a heavy rain (ailing, hiv
immense multitudes assembled to g ize upon
the procession.
The officers of ihe househol I and the at
tendants of Her Majesty, begin to arrive
it Buckingham Palace about half pa-t ten
o'clock.
About half after 12, Prince Albert and
the Q uecn having arrived from Bucking
ham P.diee, they proceeded in procession
from the drawing room, arranged by Sir
Wm. Woods, Garter King of Arms, to the
Chapel R yal. The Trumpeters', Heralds,
and Chamberlains, &c. preceded, then
Prince Albert ofSaxe Cobourgand Gotha,
rearing Hie order of thu Carter, widi which
he had been previously invested fallowed
hy his b other, the reigning Prince Gji
ave the Quern played by the band of the
Coldstream Guard, till the Prince's car
riage had pissed beyond the preoincts of
the palace.
Prince Albert, and his retinue, preceded j
the Q leen lo the Chapel, on entering
which, the drums and trumpets filed oif
without the door, and the precision advan
cing, his Royal Highness was conducted
to the seat provided for him on the left
side of the Altar. His supporters, the
Duke of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha, and the
hereditary Prince with officers of iheir
suite, occupied seats near prince Albert.
The officers of Ihe Household returned
to the Que en's apartments; and at ten min
utes past twelve, her Majesty left the throne
room, preceded by a great number of her
household, trumpeters, pages, &c. Earl Mar
shall, royal family, including the Queen's
mother. Her majesty's train was borne
by twelve unmarried ladies, mostly of the
nobility, followed by grooms, ladies of the
bed-chamber, a long retinue of maids of
honor and bedchamber.
Prince Albert met her Majesty at the
haut pas, and conducted her to her seat on
the right hand side of the altar.
His Serene Highness wore a field Mar
shall's uniform, with large rosettes of white
satin on his shoulders.
Her Majesty wore a magnificent robe
and veil of most exquisite workmanship
The only ornament on her head was a
wreath oft range flowers, and a small dia
mond pin, by which the nuptial veil was
fastened to her hair. Her train was ol
white s-itin, with a deep fringe 6f lace, and
she looked the personification of dignity,
gmth-ness, and love, as .she advanced up
iihe ats'e to the altar.
Immediately around her Majesty's chair,
wcro her ci maids of honor, attired in vir
gin whit", while in the centre sat hnr majes
ty, the deadingstar of every eye," Prince
Albert standing on her right, and her roval
Highness the Duchess ol Kenton her left.
A little further to the left stood the Duke of
Sussex, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Mel
bourne, the Lord Chancellor, and the other
gn-at officers of State.
The Archbishop of Canterbury having 1 1
aiivance.i to the rails, tier Map-sly anJ
Prince Albert approached him, and the ser
vice commenced:
When his Grace came to the words
Albeit, wdt thou have, this woman to be
thy wedded wife, to live togethtr after
God's ordinance in the holy estate ol
matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort
her, honour and keep her in sickness and
in health, and forsaking all others, keep
tnee only unto Her, so long as ye both shall
live?
H is serene highness, in a firm tone, re
plied, "l Will."
And when he said
Victoria, wilt thou have Albert to be
thy wedded husband, to live together after
God's ordinance in the holy estate of mat
Irimony? Wilt thou obey him and serve
him, love, honor, and keep him, in sick
ness and in health; and forsaking all
others, keep thee only unto him, so long
as ye both shali live?
Her Majesty looked up affectionately in
Prince Albert's face and replied, loud
enough to be heard in every part of the
Chapel '! will."
The Archbishop then said
Who giveth this woman to be married to
this man?
His royal highness the Duke of Sussex
advanced, and took her Majesty's hand,
whfh he placed in thatot the Prince.
The service then proceeded.
Piincc Albert then placed the rin- on
her finder, repeating:
With this ring 1 thee wed, with mv
body I thee worship, and with my world
ly goods I thee endow; In the name of the
father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghot. Amen.
The service being concluded, the pro
cession left the chapel in the same order
in which it had entered, except, that his
IjRoyal Highness, Pi ince Albert, walked by
the side of her Majesty, and held her
mijesty's hand. Her majesty as she
retired, appeared in excellent spirits, and
smiled frequently and in the most affable
manner acknowledged the homage of the
people as the royal cortege passed.
Britten Possessions in India. The
existing troubles with China may, or may
not, lead to a long an J costly war; but it
is certain that Russia looks earnestly at
every difficulty which may break out in the
bast, as opening a prospect for undermin
ing the IJritish power in India. The war
now prosecuting against Cireassia, and the
assemblage of a formidable Russian squa
dronin the Black Sea, all tend to the fur
therance of the great object which Russia
has so much at heart. Indeed it may be
sdd and it is a singular fact that war
only exists in the E ist, and greit events
may gro v out of the troubles in India.
Egypt and Turkey. The power of Eig
land in India is too formidable to be'easily
endangered. It is a most remarkable
iti'-reaseof povver, influence, and territorial
limits, springing up, it may be said, fiom
a mere commercial company. We hear
the glory of England frequently spoken of,
but the little island is a very small portion
of that glory the gigantic power is in
India. 1 lie British Empire in the Eas1
Indies now includes one hundred millions
of people, and extends over 1,250,000
square miles ofall climates, from the snows
on the mountains of the Gaut and Him
melaya, lo the burning sands of Hindostan;
ami twelve hundred miles of the navigable
rivers Indus, Junga, Sutledge, Ganges and
Bramapootia,with large cities like Calcutta,
Delhi, Benares, Lucno, Poom, Madras,
and Bombay. They hold theGreat Mogul
&. all the reigning princes as their captives,
and can bring into the field an army full as
largo as Russia. Europe cannot, by a
combined effort, dislodge England from
her vast possessions in the East Indies; and
as to the Chinese war, it is evident that if
it is protracted, it will be. merely to sea
fights with the junks and coasters.

Cession of the California. A letter
appears in the N. Orleans papers, stating,
that the British Minister is negotiating
for a cession of the two Californias to G.
Britain. This would be an extraordinary
move on the Chess-board and one, which
we could not help viewing wiih the keenest
suspicion. The letter adds, that Mr. Pac
kenham is likely to succeed enforced, as
the proposition is, by British gold.

Railroad Speed on the Water. A
nautical gentleman is about to come
forward with a new application of sieam
to purposes of navigation, by means of
which, without paddles or any external
apparatus, he undertakes to carry vessels
through the water as swiftly as carriages
piss along railways on land. He calcu
lates that his discovery will enable the
voyagers to pass with ease from Dover lo
Calais in an hour. Dublin Mail.
The proposer does not appear to be
aware, that at a speed greater lhan thirty-
twro miles an hour, the boat would carry a
body of water along with it equal to itself
in size. The only attempt even theor
etically, which promises to do away wilk
this difficulty, will be tound in William
Van Loan's patent for a marine railway,
granted January loth, IS3I. DJ.Y.hra.
Riot in Philadelphia. The United
States Gazette of yesterday, has the fol
lowing ai tide:
For several days past, the opposition of
the residents and others on and about the
line of the projected continuation of the
Trenton railroad, has been manifested in
serious direct attempts to impede the
progress of the workmen; but yesterday
the efforts of the assembled multitude rea
ched to an alarming height.
The operations of the laborers were
destroyed as soon as completed the
wooden cross pieces and the rails were
tornup,and flungaway, immediately as the
workmen would leave them; while some
of the hands in the employ of the company
were digging holesforthe foundation of cer
tain works, the multitude were following,
repaying what had been torn up; farther
on, up Front .street, some fighting was
going on; and, indeed, the feeling of
opposition seemed to be so general, lhat
even women, forgetting their sex and
sphere, were taking part, and in the
course of the day, stoned one or two of the
prominent operatives of the company.
It is the object ol me ttaiuuau company
to lav a sincie track along Front street,
from the turn of their road down Maiden
street, to their depot in the upper part
of Kensington; and the matter has ju
been fully argued in ine oun oi ummon
Pleas and decided in favor of the company.
Those opposed appealed to the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania; but the company
have not been inclined to abide so many
delays; and this is one great cause of the
prevailing excitement.
Sheriff Fitler, with a large posse, was;
on the ground, and made many arrests.
Since the above was written, we learn
that the numbers of the multitude had not
only greatly increased, but that between

Steamboat Disasters. It is a singular
fact, that in despotic countries, "accident"
by s'eamboats never, or but very rarely hap
pen. The proprietors are held strictly
accountable for any disasters which may
occasion loss of life and properly and
knowing tlits, precautions are taken to
uisure the saf ty of all those w ho travel in
th ese boats. This shows that disasters are
not neca-sarily connected with steamboat
navig-ition, but are always the result ol
eulpiblo neglect of can fulness We pre
sume lhat statistics will show that there has
been a far greater loss of life by steamboat
disasters on the American waters, than has
taken place in all other parts of the globe!
There is a radical evil somewhere, which
must be remedied by public opinion.
In regard to the proportionate security
of steamboat travelling in England and in
America, we make the following ex!racts
from the recently published work of one
qualified to form a sound opinion on this
suoject. JJer. Journal.
The following statements, extracted
from the Report of the Commissioners on
Steamboat Accidents, will show the cas
ualties which have occurred in England
and Scotland in ten years. In 62 vessels
destroyed, 303 persons were wrecked, foun
dered, or in imminent peril 77 were kil
led from explosions cf boilers .2 from
fires 66 from collapses 120 were lost
on board the Erin, Frolic and Su
perb 40 from accidents in the Thames.
And in Scotland, exclusive of the above,
by accidents in the Clyde, 21 making in
the ten years an aggregate of 634. The
greatest number of lives lost at any one
time, occurred in the case of theRothsay
Castle, when 1 19 perished. The greatest
number at any one time from explosion, 24;
the greatest from fire, 2.
" The princijrtd portion of this loss of life
has been occasioned by vessels being built
for sale, and not seaworthy; an occur
rence probably too common in England
and America. The author of "A Voice
from America, states the list of steamboat
disasters on the waters of the United States
for twelve months out of the years 1S37
S, by bursting of boilers, burning
wrecks, &.c. , besides numerous others of
less consequence, comprehends the total
loss of S vessels, and 10S0 lives. So that
we have in England, loss in 10 years,
631; in one year, 63. In America, in one
year, ioso.
''The greatest loss in America by col
lision and sinking, was in the Monmouth,
while transporting Indians, in which 300
lives were lost; Oronoke, by explosion,
by which 130, or moie were lost; Moselle,
at Cincinnati, by which from 100 to 120
were lost. The greatest loss by shipwreck
was in the case of the Home, when 100
were lost; the greatest by fire, the Ben
Sherrod, in 1837, by which 130 perished."-
Add to the above, the more recent
casualty by fire, in which not far from 100
have perished in the Lexington and what
a mass of wretchedness from these dis
tressing accidents do we register!
(jJMuch curiosity has been excited
among ihe antiquarians of New Orleans by
t lie discovery of a tier of cells or vaults
beneath the calaboose. A vault, seven feet
in height 'and similar length " and breadth,
built of solid masonry and encaged with
iron bars, has been cleared in the excavations
from which are pa-sages supposed to lead to
others of a similar structure. Some relics
& bones have been found in them. As the
w hole pile of buildings fronting the Place
D'Armes, including the principal cathedral
and municipal police offices, was construc
ted more than a century ago by the Span
iards, these cells are probably such as were
attached to nearly all public buildings of
the sort erected by that people in days of
vore.
Melancholy Story. On Saturday, the
29th ultimo,. Mrs. McGilvery, residing in
St. Louis, (Missouri,) took a pistol be
longing to her husband, who is absent,
which had been laid by for a long time, to
clean it Supposing it not 'loaded, s e put
a cap on and snapped it at a Mrs. Enuis,
merely with a view of scaring her. Ii
did not go off,and pursuing her amusement
she put on another cap and went to the
house of Mr. Richard Russell, a neighbor,
who was standing in his door. After
gome frivolous remark, she snapped the
pistol at his face," when It went off; th.el
contents, a leaden ball, entering the left
eye, and passing qu:te through the head,
came out at the back of the neck. Mr. Rus
sell fell back into the house, and about four
o'clock in the evening expired. From this
unfortunate circumstance, Mrs. McGilvery

time tteen engaged in raising goods from
sunken vessels.- He has left a wife and
several children.

Wool Hounds in Florida. These
animals are leading the warfare against
the Indians with considerable success. Sev
eral battles have been fought They are
very useful in starting up the Indians from
their coverts, and if their masters are close
in their rear, seldom fail directing them to
a fair and np n mark for their rifles. One
or two of them have been killed by the
Indians.
.?Gi'r's Feet inThick Shoes. Major
McCardle, ol the Vicksburg Whig, is in
ocstacies with a couple of beautiful feet he
saw the other day, belonging to a young
and handsome girl, and which were "dono
up" in good substantial leather shoes, witli
thick soles. The Major thinks, and we
think he is right, that the girl has one of
the right kind of mothers" nt home. As
the beautiful creature turned a corner
and was hid from fight, McCardle thus
broke out to himself: "Ah, your mother
loves you as a mother ought to love her
children, and she will not allow you to
cramp your dear little toes in a thin kid
skin, and thus open the way for colds,
coughs, asthmas, catarrhs, consumptions,
influenzas, and all imaginable diseases to
creep into the system; nor does she wish
you to lay up a crop of corns to fret over
the balance of your life, to spoil your'tcm
per and make you blow up your husband
when you get one. Speaking of husbands,
we are not in a hurry ourself, antl perhaps
we may wait a couple of years or so for you
yet. Stick to those thick shoes, and don't
make a simpleton of yourself, as some
grown up girls have done before now."
A highly successful experiment has been
made in London, for the production of
gas from water and tar combined. The
gas burned with a flame as pure and bright
as that from coal, while the expense of its
production is much less, and the process
is much more simple and expeditious. It
was estimated that gas from tar and water
could be furnished at one third of the price
charged for coal gas by the Companies.
Cooking Food. The saving of food by
cooking and by grinding of grains, is im
mense. When food is cooked a much larger
portionof sustenance is taken up by the ani
mal than when it is consumed in a raw state,
and there is not only a saving of food, but
the animal is kept in a more growing state
when his food is prepared in this way, and
he will fat far faster.
Experiments have been made on ani
mals which fatted very slowly on raw food
by giving them cooked food, and they
have gained so rapidly after the change as
to afford profit on the food and trouble too,
while all they gained on raw food would
not pay it expense, to say nothing of the

Advice to men in debt. Ascertain the
w hole state of your affairs. Learn exactly
how much you owe. Be not guilty of
deceiving yourself, when your intentions
were far otherwise. Deliberately and
fully make up your mind, that come what
will, you will practice no concealment, or
trick, which might have ihe appearance of
fraud. Openness and candor rommnn I
respect among all good rr.cn. Rcmc nil r r
that no man is completely ruined among
men, until his character is gone. Never
consent to hold, as your own, one farthing;
which rightly belongs to others. Bewara
of feelings of despondency. Give not place)
for an hour to useless and enervating mel
ancholy. Be a man. , Reduce your expen
ditures to the lowest possible amount. Caro
not to figure as others around you. Indus
triously pursue such lawful and honest arts
of industry as are left to you. An hour's
industry will do more to beget hcerfulnc-s,
suppress evil rumors, and retrieve your
aflairs, than a month's moaning. If you
must stop business, do it soon enough to
avoid the just charge of an attempt to
involve your unsuspecting friends. Leirn
fiom your present difficulties, the utter
vanity of all earthly things.
