Le Commerce, in reference to the New Years’ Address of the “Chambers” to the King, ob- serves— “Nothing very significant ought to be expected from the answer of the King to a common address. In this case, we must confess, it isquite otherwise. In the answer delivered to Mons. te duc Pasquier, one phrase deserves to be quoted in present cit- cumstances. “The Chamber of Peers know to what an extent I appreciate the strong propositions and wise reception given by it tothe system which a have constantly followed for the good of rance. After such a declaration, what becomes of that fundamental constitutional principle—the Ministe- rial responsibility which guarantees the inviola' ty of the Royal person? According to the words put in the mouth of the King by the Ministers, the system now followed, for fifteen years, wes all his own ; that it was the same to M. Thiers and M Guizot—to M. de Broglie and M. Molé; that is tantamount to an averment that we live under the personal government of the King. Since this is the case, changes of ministers must be mere farce, and the discussions in the Chambers upon our general policy have not the slightest weight or object. Moreover, should not our legislative as- semblies restrict their functions to matters of ad- ministration? We have had a precedent for sucha regime in the reign of his Majesty the Emperor Rasolesurare net once existed may be re-estab- ished. More than ye Matta charged with conspira- cy, were arrested in Poland in the course of a tew days, and there was every likelihood that the sys- tem would continue. It is said positively that Prussia will retaliate on Hanover, on account ot the treaty between that power and England. A higher rate of duty will probably be put upon Hanoverian ships entering Prussian ports, Daring the 29th and 30th December, the sum of 520,215 francs was deposited in the Paris Savings Banks, and 884,000 francs withdrawn—the number of depositors amounted to 3,347. Rumors, tending to promote some disquietude. have been rife in financial circles in Paris One capitalist has failed in 700,000 francs, and it is teared that it is only the beginning ot a series of similar disasters arising from imprudent competi- tion in stocks with richer men. By a royal order, guano is admitted free into Spanish ports, in vessels of all nations. During the whole course of his lite, and in his last moments, the regecide Tschch had but one thought—felt only one solicitude—the most in- tense affection for his daughter Bertha. She 1s eighteen years of age, very beautiful, and highly educated. For some months she had inspired a young doctor of the University of Berlin with a strong passion, which was about to leud to aunion between them, when her father committed the crime which was visited with capital punishment The young doctor, however, persevered in his pro- jects ; but Bertha, the day atter the execution, un- der the conviction that it would expose him to the fac taaay which awaited her, wrote him a letter praying him to bid her a final adieu. Upon re- ceiving this last proof of her attachment, the young doctor repaired to her dwelling in one of the sub- urbs of Berlin, where he learned that she had set out the night before for Silesia, with the intention of spending the remainder of her life in prayer and meditation with one of her aunts Professor Faraday has been elected associate member of the French Institute, in place of Mr. Dalton, the famous author of the atomic theory. The celebrated names of Brewster, Jacobi, Lie- be Buckland, and Mellont, were among the can- jidates. George Cuthbert was found by a policeman in a state of helpless intoxication in the public streets Being questioned as to his name and residence, he said—*I am a victim of science—but I have at last found it.” ‘ Found what ?” replied the police- men. “Silence, 1 am going to tell you—don’t you know—and if you don’t, you must. be informed— that for years [ have been engaged in investigating the comparative strength of alcoholic liquids, and Thave just afew moments ago determined it in favor of whiskey.

From Le Commerce.) Texas—THe United States ann En@uanp.— The Constitutionnel affirms that the English go vernment is employing every effort to prevent the annexation of Texas to the United States. In this fact we concur. The same journal avers, that the English cabinet have, in order to prevent this dreaded event, procured instructions to be sent from Paris to our Minister at Washington, to op- pose the veto of France to the annexation of Texas We do not doubt that in Washington, as else- where’ our diplomacy is made to subserve that of England. It will not fail to second the efforts of England to awaken the independence party in Texas, and strengthen at Washington the party op- posed to annexation. It will tend to apprise Mr. Tyler and his cabinet of the displeasure such av act would cause to France. But in these proceed- ings there is a long distance between an absolute vetoand threats of an armed intervention. Mr Guizot has so effectually cleared this distance, that he has pushed complaisance towards England to absurdity. ‘ Threats of thisjeort may well, indeed, provoke the just scorn of politicians in the United Siates. They know France well enough to be aware that there are combinations which in this country are rendered impossible by public opinion. A union of our forces with those of England, to burn the ports and ravage the coasts of America, is certain ofthiskind. Admitting that our naval forces were obliged, by the ‘aws of discipline, to obey orders of this nature, can it be supposed that the French Chambers would tolerate such a violation of all the rules of sound politics, and that public opinion would not put an obstacle thereto, by some irresis- tible demonstration ? Mr. Guizot then would have offered an empty menace to the United States nidi- culous in their sight, and moat culpable in regard to France. Was it not enough to pursue a course on the Texas question opposed to our permanent in- terests, and to resent, in any shape whatsoever, a measure which, in augmenting the power of the great American Republic, is perfecily consistent with our true policy? It was neither through a blind hatred of Great Britain, nor through a sentiment of generosity to wards an oppreesed people, that France contributed to the treedom of the English colonies. She had the instinctive apprehension that it was for her own interests to secure an ally on the opposite coast of the Atlantic, which sooner or later would contri- bute to redeem the ocean, and overthrow the sup- remacy which England arrogates on that element. In order to remain faithful to our previous policy— in order that it may render the fruits expected from it—it is necessary that the United States should fulfil their destiny—that they should spread on the sea-board of the Atlantic, and that beside them there should not formlany petty States as vassals of England. Since Mexico has been unable to retain Texas, it should, then, become an antegral portion the great American confederation This event, again, will be brought about by the foree of circumstances. The whig party in the United States are no more opposed to it as former- ly. jay prominent leaders during the last election modified their language onthat question. There isa probability that the Senate will no longer reject the treaty of annexation, when presented to it by the new President, above all if it be accompanied by an act of session on the part of Mexico. . Now it is nearly certain that Mexico herself, will no longer persist in an opposition henceforth use- less. mie is impossible for that country to carry out her pretensions to Texas by force of arms. After the sad issue of the first expedition, ehe is incapa- ble from making a new attempt, for which every requisite is wanting. Santa Anna, if he preserves his power, will not dare to waste all his resources in such an enterprize, much less would he assume the burthen of it himself.¢Stll occupied with solici- tude to replenish his treasury, it appears that he has already renounced his warlike braggadocia, and it at the present moment listening to propositions of pecuniary indemnity frem the United States. Al- though the career of Santa Anna should terminate, affairs as regards this question would not change their aspect, Politicians in Mexico have become aware that it would be preferable tor their country that Texas should be annexedjto the United States, by a treaty defining the limits between the two re- publics, than to see that ancient province existing as a hostile independent State, with uncertain limita, and possessed of the power to spread indefinitely In any case, then,’ we may expect a negociation which will remove the obstacles which the ques- tion has hitherto presented. i Experience has taught us that the United States is not easily intimidated by the threats of strangers, and her national policy treats very lightly the preter- ences of England. They know well, besides, the reasons which prevent their ancient me from appealing to arms against them. They will preserve, therefore, on this occasion the route in- dicated to them by the nature of things. The an- exation of Texas will take place in spite of the veto of England, although it sheuld be sustained by an pee demonstration from the French inister. The latter will succeed only to give in this instance a new proof of obsequiousness to this intimate ally, who responds to so much devotion by the brutal exercise of the right of visit, and by de- mands lees and less amicable. Pittsburgh, [Correspondence of the New York Herald. Pittssuren, Feb. 4. 1845. Grand Ball at Monongahela House—Beauty, Ele- gance, Fashionand Taste—A full, true, and par- ticular account. Dear Bennett :— The great act ef the season, in fashionable life, came off in this city, in the shape of a Ball or Party, given by the Bachelors at the Monongahe- la House on Thursday evening last. Mine host, Mr. Crossan, having received.a carte blanche, with two weeks notice, to¥make ready, sustained his well earned reputation beyond the hopes of the most sanguine, by astyle of arrangements and de- coration, which would not have done discredit to any of the most recherché saloons of the French capital, while his able and gentlemanly assistant, Mr. Alden, appeared to have exhausted the rich stores of his gastronimic treasury, in launching forth upon the groaning tables of the ladies’ ordinary, a spectacle of luxury, which for brilliancy of display and refinement of taste at once baffled all descrip- tion, and reminded the admiring beholder of “The Royal feast, for Persia won, By Philip’s Godlike Son.” Great were the preparations for the event during the week preceding. Millers, mantua-makers, aud dry goods men reaped a rich harvest from the reckless expenditure of contending belles and beaux, and every greenhouse, public and private, was stripped of its floral treasures to supply the immense demand tor bouquets. Apropos—of green-houses, I must not omit to mention, that cer- tain army and navy officers, who are stationed here, suspecting foul play in the matter of bou- quets, have deiermined to establish a greenhouse of their own. An illnatured friend at our elbow, suggests that they will have abundant material for the purpose—Capital idea, however, that of the greenhouse, and highly characteristic of a genuine esprit du corps. ‘ x Being a little beyond the noon of life, we did not hurry, but found ourself at 94 o’clock at the en- trance to the ballroom, where we paused in ad- miring wonder, to contemplate for a moment, the magnificent and gorgeous spectacle before us. Already two hundred and fifty of the votaries of Terpsichore were dancing to the music of the fine band from the United States arsenal, and truly it may be eaid, that pleasure, not “Madness, ruled the hour.” Each face was beaming with delight, and the wrinkles of care, for the nonce, were banished from brows, that had been marked in many a rude encounter with the world—while the boy-god, from his well filled quiver, scattered his shafts with lavish profusion, and “Shock thousand oders from his dewy wings.” To say that the ladies surpassed all previous ef- forts, in the elegance of their attire, would be but faint praise. The coup d’@il was grand and im- posing to the last degree, realizing to our observa- tion, pore than our imagination had ever con- ceived. Proceeding up the room, we had an opportunity to remark 1nore particularly the individual attrac- tions, which contributed to make up the vast sum of loveliness assembled on the occasion. First, because towering above the rest in sta- ture, we noticed the queenly Miss McN,, late of St. Louis, moving graceful as a swan, while her dark eyes flashed with tearful effect upon sundry beaux. Alas! poor Mr. J.! Look to thy rival: now. In the next cotillon were Miss Z., of Nor- folk, Va., and Miss V. C., looking like iwin sisters wu loveliness, similarly attired in blue and silver, resembling each other, yet still unlike—the former a sweet exotic from the sunny South—the latter, a charming specimen of our more Northern clime. The first of these ladies, to our keen perception, seemed to listen with interest to the soft nonsense of the attentive Mr. McK, although per contra, it is said, she is “ The lass that loves a sailor.” Near these stood the sweet and pleasing Miss A. C., all unconscious ef her own attractions, while gazing with evident pleasure at thuse of her capti- vating sister, just named. Inthe same set we ob- served Miss R. of Cincinnati, in whese fine, intel- lectual face we thought we could detect the traces of some “secret sorrow,” which not even the as. siduous attention of Mr. C. could discipate. A little turther on, we perceived the beautiful and sprightly Miss D., one in whom we have al- ways felt a melancholy interest, in consequence of the tragical end of her father, the late Colonel D., superintendent of the public works at H. F., and with whom it was our good fortune to be acquain- ted in early life. Near her, remarkable for her gaiety and animation, stood Miss C. D., a lady ** somewhat near the throne,” being a neice o! the Vice-President elect. Her cousin, Mise W., daughter of the present Secretary at War, came next, just blooming into womanhood, and looking exceedingly well. Miss S , the daughter of one of our iron millionaires, a sweet engaging little aylph, stood listening, with evident gratification, to the blandishments of Mr. M., whose suit it is thought will shortly terminate in pe ge a Con- spicuous anna the rest, we noticed Mies K., Mies G., and Miss O., all very beautiful hn and dressed with excellent taste. Also Miss C., of Al- leghany, a favorite of ours, looking exceedingly well, the beautiful symmetry of whose neck and shoulders, and finely rounded arm, are seldom equalled, and never excelled. We might continue thus to particularise, but are admonished that this communication is already sufficiently extended Many, very many, we are therefore compelled to overlook, of whom it might truly be said, “* grace was in all their steps.” Our married ladies, many of whom were present, contributed not a little to the loveliness of the scene—one_ I must mention, particularly, as she is yet a bride, Mrs. B., late Miss R., of Philadelphia, as no less distinguished for the beauty of her person, than for her sweet and engaging manners. We could not but think, ss Had Heaven but given us such a wife, and this world were one entire rash chrysolite, we’d not exchange her fer it.” Of the gentlemen, it is needless to speak—each exerted himself to the ut- most to do the agreeable, as though the whole suc- cess of the affair depended upon his individual ex- ertions. We must not, ho vever, omit to notice an artist of no mean celebrity, Mr. D., who, for once exchanging the usual cynical expression oj his face, for a countenanee wreathed in smiles, acknowledged that here, indeed, he had at last found the true line of beauty 7 ‘We heard bitter complaints of one practice, which we are bound to say we think ‘* would be more honored in the breach than the observance,” viz: that of certain “ pencilings by the way,” in which our belles indulge, on small cards, brought for the purpose, whereon to record their several engagements. ‘No lady should engage herself for more than two or three sets in advance. An arch little friend, with whom we discussed this matter, mischievously insinuated the suspicion, that the books, in some instances, were not fairly kept, the credits being far too numerous; while in others it looked as though the fair scribe was determined to secure every offer, to pes the possibility of finding herself disengaged. é Every thing, however, passed off to the satis- faction of all concerned. The rich viands and delicacies of the supper table were well and ably discussed. Coffee was served up about half past three o’clock, A.M, and at this signal the com- any began gradually to disperse. Half an hour from this time our services were required in the cloak and hood department, when, atter posees- sing ourself of our fair charge, we succeeded in navigating our way, through a double row of vo- ciferous drivers, to our own carriage, and a short and pleasant ride terminated, so far as we were concerned, the evening’s entertainment. Return. ing, as the last of the company were retiring, we found ‘the banquet hall deserted,” and a solitary loiterer here and there inthe ball room, gave to it, if possible, a more melancholy appearance Moodily we stof® off to our attic, yet resolving within ourself not to be absent from the next bachelor’s party.

Vexatious Incrpent or THE Storm —We have heard of a curious case of a disappointment, in con- nexion with the recent extraordinary delay of the pas- senger lines and mails from New York. It seems that a gentleman residing ina neighboring village, had entered into a matrimonial engegement with a fair daughter of a worthy citizen in his immediate vicinity and the parties had determined that the wedding should take place on Thursday evening last at 8 o’clock. It so happened that business called the intended groom to New York on Mon- day, and he hastened on, with the expectation of being back on Tuesday night, or at the lateston Wednesday morning Under the circumstances, he gave instructions to his relatives and friends to secure the services of a clergy- man, and to make due preparations for the bridal. The storm and the delay for the first day, created some un- easiness ; but the fair lady and her friends believed that every thing would be right by Thursday evening, and the lover would be in attendance at the appointed hour. Ac- cordingly, the cake and the wine were provided, the bridesmaids were present, the clergyman made his ap- pearance at the appointed hour, and the plighted one and her friends were on the tiptoe of expectation. ithi period of the designated hour, and be- coming somewhat apprehensive, a postponement was talked of. But as the wedding was to be a dashing one, a8 many invitations had been sent out, and ag friends from the surrounding country were pouring in, in sleighs, a postponement seemed very awkward, especially os the majority hoped that every new comer would bring some tiding of the absent bridegroom. Thus, the time glided on, until the predetermined wedding hour had passed by —until “hope deferred made the heart sick”—end it was deemed necessary to break up the party and postpone the marriage. The belle of the village, for such the intended bride has long been regarded, although evidently somewhat an- noyed at the circumstances, put the best face upon the afair,exerted herself to the utmost to render the compan; Joyous and happy—and remarked, aptly enough—that it was net the first time the old adage of “‘many a slip bet- ween the cup and the lip, had been forcibly’ illustrated.
