The gallant Sir Thomas Trowbridge is about to lead to the. altar Miss Louisa 3urrw:7, daughter of Daniel Gurney, i3sq.. of Norwich, and sister cf the Hon. Mrs. AV. Cooper. Seldom hasth-at proud meird of. homage which beauty, loves to pay to valor boon conferred on a -more worthy " recipient. The di'scendaht of one of England's greatest admirals, and among the bravest of .the brave at' Alma, ilia heroic., valor of. Sir ..Thomas Trow bridge) at tukermun, has Income one of ihe gloiions" facts of history. .Those who record the great achievements of England's soldiers in the present war, will Aublazoii, in tile biightest colors cf military story, how, when his skill and courage in directing ilie fi, et a. huilery had contributed to tnrri the tide of battle, and when a fatal cannon .Shot liad car- ified away both his feet the wounded hero refused to be conveyed to the fear, demanding of his fellow-soldiers but to carry him to the frotrt and raise him on a gun carnage, that, before bleeding to death, he mght witness the successful issue of the conflict ; and then, coolly, in that position, continuing to direct the fire of his battery until he shared in the final triumph and shouts of victory. - Preserved by almost a miracle of life his services crowned by every applause that a nation's gratitude could bestow his honors hallowed and enhanced by the tear of pity from bis sovereign her self, while placing them upon his shat- . fered frame, the noble soldier now reaps his final and greatest reward in the hap py consummation of a . long cherished attachment with the beautiful and ami .able lady whoisabont to share his titles and honors, while she consoles and re pays his sufferings. English Paper. SINGULAR ARITHMETICAL FACT. Any number of figures yon may wish ' to multiply by 5 will give Jjje same re sult if divided by 2, a much 'quicker op eration ;- but you must remember to an nex a cipher "to the answer when there is no remainder, and when there is a re mainder, whatever it may be, abnex a 5 to the answer. Multiply 464 by1 5, and" J the answer will be 2,320 ; divide the same, number by 2 and you have 232, and as there is no remainder, you add a cipher. Now, take 357, and multiply by 5, the answer is 1,785. On dividing this by 2, there is 178 and a remainder; you therefore place a 5 at the , end of the line; and the result is again 1785. . It is calculated that we receive frojai God 12 blesings; every minute,'"-relative to'respiration ; 30 relative to our under standings and will ; and 6.000 relative to the different parts . of our bodies ; con-wsequently,-God grants us, each minute, 6,042 blessings, and 362,520 every hour l life. ' ; v '. SUIT AGAINST ELECTION JUDGES. W. H. Smith, a naturalized citizen, residing' in New- Orleans, has brought suit in the fourth district couit ... against James Beggs and Erastus" Wells, two of the judges of election in that city for rejecting bis vote at the late ekction.- He claims $5,000 damages. x ' JUST SO. The Lon ion News, commenting on the ''treatened rupture," thinks a war 'now with England would be certain to dissolve the Union. It regards that event with some degree of complacency, and endeavors coaxingly to convince the people of the North that an alliance between New and Old England must be stronger than a union between the ' free and slave- States ! This is an ori ginal specimen of noodleism rarely ex hibited in an English journal. Pins Extracted from the Stomach of a Fe ., . ". - ; male. -: --- . -f Dr. E P. Fearing, of Nantucket, Mass., has taken from the stomach, ab .domen and left side of a patient named Jane James, sixty-two needles, and it is probable, it is said, that quite .4 number remain to be removed. They were swallowed twelve years ago, when - the 'patient was deranged, and imagined lierself a piucushion. CUNNING OPERATION. The evening before last a thief got into a rear apartment of the residence of Mr. Josiah'Spegel, near the plank road, and having secured a well-filled leather trunk, fbb put himself and It out through the win "dow, and waa coolly retiring. with theboo ,.ty.': -Coming to the front of the house a noise betrayed himr and a: voice from a , window inquired what he wanted ?

'Your stairs nre very dark, Mr. Dun son; do you think I can find the bottom?' Nothing- easier, my dear n-.adain. All you have to do is to let go - the balusters nd make a tumble.' 1" PORKOPOLIS. S A letter writer from Cincinnati, Ohio, says that --the common people of that city are those who kill pigs now. The aristocracy are thosa wKose father's killed pigs, and who of course regard the present piggicides as persons with out honorable antecedents. Touch the question of pigs to them, and they iri tle up immediately. J ABOTT WHISKERS. Of all things,' says the Dublin Uni versity Magazine, 'avoid a vulgur whis ker. This is of various kinds. A short, scrubby indomitable red whisker is a vulgar whiker ; a weak, fuzzy, jvlnte, Trroth-eaten, mouldy whisker is a vulgar whisker ; a twisting, twining, sentimen tal, cork-screw of a whisker is a vulgar whisker; a mathematical, methodical, master-of-arts-ical diagram of a whisker is a vulgar whisker. Whatever is not of these will do. . , , VALUABLE SCIESTIFIC k flECIMICAL W01IKS 1 Saw on hand ami for file at S.
