Paine, the Spiritual Banker, In Chicago. We oopy the following article from the Chicago Christian Banker, a periodical exclusively devoted to Christian banking, religious financiering, spiritual manifestations, and Rochester rappings and rant- ings. The editor, Seth Paine, Esq., got up a bank in Chicago, lll., which exploded, and ‘its projector arrested and indicted for lunacy and a breach of the peace. Hear his story:— We are Iwpicrep.—Yes, we are indicted. Moses was indieted by Pbarach, and’ David was indicted by Saul; Daniel was indicted by Nebuchadnezzar, and Stephen was indicted by the Jewish priests; and thousands of the ear- martyrs were indicted by Rowan emperors, and died Tejoicing in*the tlames, Luther was indicted by the Pope, and so was John Huss, and Jerome of Prague Cromwell was indicted by Charles the First; Milton was indicted by Charles the Second, and John Bunyan was indicted by Charles the Second’s brother. Baxter was Indicted, and ful William Penn. Galileo was indicted, and so was The inventor of printing William Tell, Robert Bruce, Robert Emmet, Kossuth, Adams, Hancock, and Washing: ton, all were indicted. Yes, Jesus Christ himself, the Saviour of a hopeless world, thank God, he was indicted. ‘Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, and Sam- son, of Jepthah and of Samuel, and of the prophets, who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteous. ners, obtained promises, stopped the mouths af lions, quenched the violence of fire. escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness was made strong, waxed valiant in flight, turned to fight the armies of the -aliens, who, Paul says, bad trial of cruel mock- and scourgings, yea, moreover, of bonds and im- jonment. ey were stoned, they were sawn asun- , were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wan- dered about in sheep skins and goat skins, being desti- tute, afflicted, tormented, of whom the world was not worthy. These glorious ’ heroes—truth’s martyrs—all of these were indicted. Moses was in- for loving his brethren; David was indicted to tify a tyrant’s whim; Dante! was indicted for obeying fra rather than man; Stephen was indicted for preach- ing the truth; Luther was indicted for his hatred of mo- mepoly—and so are we. So are all those triumphant pames which are written high and bla; on the scroll ef fame, and in the Lamb’s book of life. indicters of Moses perished in the Red fea; the indicters of Samson brought ruin on their ont, ae the indicter of Daniel ‘was reduced to the level the beasts; the indicter of Cromwell lost his own head; the indicter of Luther is yet trembling on all her sevenfold hills, and Austria is quail- tog, too fa horror of the day of wrath. And let them us. The opposers of the people's cause, truth’s eause, and God’s cause, can no more escape the coming retribution than the monopolists of old, when God let Joose his avenging thunderbolts, and there was not a house in which there was not one dead. We learn, says the Chicago Democrat, that Seth Paine is ina state of violent insanity. He will not permit any clothes upon his person, and if a single ae is forced upon him he will immediately tear off. He also raves a good deal at times, but at other times appears calm, but will not then converse with any one. Theatrical and Musical.

She left Liverpool at two o'clock on Wednesday after- noon, the 2d inst., thus making a most excelleut pas- sage across the Atlantic. We are indebted to Mr. W. T. Marsden, the gen- tlemanly purser of the Alps, for the prompt delivery of our parcels, The leading feature of the news is the marriage of Napoleon III. to the Countess de Teba, at Notre Dame, Paris, on Saturday, the 29th ult. We give the fullest details of this in our columns this morning. The deaths of Viscount Melbourne and the Earl of Tyrconnel, with that of the Earl of Oxford, make no less than three peerages that have become extinct in Great Britain within a fortnight. The London Gazette of the 31st ult. thus announces the death of Lord Melbourne :— We have to announce the demise of Viscount Melbourne, brother of Viscountess Palmerston, long in the diplomatic service of the State, and better known as the Hon. rir Frederick Lamb and Lord Beauvale. His lordship expired at a quarter past seven o'clock on Saturday morning, at Brockett Hall, Herta, after a short illness, azising from gout. The deceased, Frederick James Lamb, was third son of Peniston, first viscount, and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Ralph Milbanke, Bart. He was born on the 17th of April, 1782, and married, in 1841, Mademoiselle de Malt- zabn, daughter of his Excellency Baron Maltzahn, the Prussian Minister tothe Austrian court. The late vis- count entered the diplomatic service in early life. In 1839 he was created a by oi title of Baron Beauvale, and in November, 1848, on the death of his brother, Vis- count Melbourne, he succeeded to the superior family ti- tle. He leaves no family; consequently the title becomes extinct. A pension of £1,700, enjoyed by the late vis- count for his diplomatic services, reverts to the crown. Accounts from Montenegro are so contradictory that no reliance can be placed on them. The im™ preasion seems to be that Montenegro cannot long resist the Turks without foreign assistance. The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rotter- dam produce markets state that business had been exceedingly languid. The transactions in the va- rious articles had been wholly confined to immediate consumption, and little alteration had occurred in prices. The accounts from Antwerp and Rotterdam represent a similar position of trade. The letters from Rouen speak of diminished ac- tivity inthe market for manufactures, and quotations showed a tendency to decline.

Interesting Details of the Ceremony—Magn! ficent impotence of Paris—Amnesty to ‘Three usand Persons, de. The civil marriage of the Emperor Napoleon III. took place at the Palace of the Tuileries, on Satur- day night, the 29th ult. The Duke de Cambacires, Grand Master of the Ceremonies, proceeded to the Palacé of the Elysée at half-past 8 o'clock with two of the court to take the Imperial fiancée to the Tuileries. The Rue Faubourg St. Honoré was crowded with people, who had assembled there as early as 7 o’clock to catch a glimpse of the bride. At a quarter past 9 o’clock the Countess de Téba e entered the carriage, having her mother, the Countess de Montijo, on her’ right. The Marquis de Val , the Spanish Minister in Paris, | and the Grand Masterj of the Ceremonies sat | in front. The Princess of Essling, Grand Mis- tress of the Household of the future Empress, the Duchess of Bassano, her Lady of Honor, and M. coe de Couches, Lenipete iced en oe a second carriage, precede mpe: le.

The Grand Cham- berlain and the Grand Master of the Ceremonies | on their right and left, a few ahead ; the La- dies of Honor followed, and then a Chamberlain. On approaching the drawing-room, the Chamber- Jain placed at the head, advanced epee the first Chamberlain of the arrival of the cortege, and the Chamberlain announced the fact to the Em- peror. Prince Jerome Napoleon and some other members of the family were with the Emperor. His Majesty, attired in the uniform of a General | Officer, wore the collar of the Legion of Honor which, | it is said, belonged to his uncle, the Emperor Napo- leon, and the collar of the Golden Fleece, which tra- dition assigns to the Emperor Charles V. The Car- dinals, Marshals and Admirals, Ministers, Secretaries | of State, the great officers and officers of the civil and milit hougehold of the Emperor, the Ambassa- dors and Ministers-Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor peel in Paris, stood around the Emperor. His ajesty advanced to meet his bride. The Grand Master of the Ceremonies took the Emperor's last orders, and the cortege set out for the Salle des | g; the Ceremonies, the masters and their assist- ants, were placed right and left in front of the throne. All the ladies rose at the entrance of the Emperor and the Empress, and remained standing, together with the rest of the company, daring the ceremony. The Emperor being seated, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, after having taken the orders of his Majesty, invited the Minister of State and the President of the Council of State to advance to the Emperor's chair, ‘The Minister of State said, “In the name of the Emperor.’ At those words the Emperor and the Eimpress rose. “Sire, does Ba Majesty declare that he takes in marriage her Excellency Mademoiselle Rugenie de Montijo, Countess de Teba, here present?” The Emperor replied, “I declare that [ take her Excellency Mademoiselle Eugenie de Montijo, Countess de Teba, here present, in marriage.” The Minister of State then said, “ Mademoiselle | Eugénie de Montijo, Countess de Téba, does your Excellency declare that you take his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III., here present, in marriage?” The Countess replied. ‘1 declare that I take his Majesty Napoleon IIf., here present, in marriage.” he Minister of State then announced the mar- riage,in the following terms:— “Tn the name of the Emperor, of the constitution, and of the law, I declare that his Majesty Napoleon ILI, Emperor of the French, by the grace of God and the national will, and her Excellency Made- moiselle Eugénie de Montijo, Countegs de Teba, are united in marriage.” ‘Those words having been pronounced, the masters of the ceremonies and their assistants brought for- ward the table in front of the chairs on which the Emperor and Empress were seated, und placed the register before them. The act of marriage was then igned in the following manner:— ‘he President of the Council of State presented a en to the Emperor and then to the Empress. Their Tiajesties signed without quitting their seats. I was standing not far from the spot where Eugénie de apne was seated, at the moment she was called upon AS great officer of State to sign the deed which transformed her from a simple Spanish sub- Se into an Empress, and an Empress of France. have seen her also at another royal marria; age in which, in right of her rank, she bore a distinguished art—a part only inferior to Neegeret brides of that tay. It was on the 10th of October, 1846, that she followed in attendance on her royal mistress when the Queen of Spain and her sister, Luisa Fernanda, were united in marriage in the ancient chapel of Atocha. The ceremony had been celebrated the night before at the royal palace of Madrid. The husband of one of the royal sisters was the present king consort; of the other the favorite, and not the least deserving, son of one of the most powerful | sovereigns of Europe. The fair handmaiden of that day now occupies the throne that Prince’s mother then filled; and the family whose posterity was be- pers destined to rule France for ever is now in exile! The witnesses of the marriage were then calledgjto sign the register: On behalf of Louis Napoleon were—first, the members of the imperial family, then the Cardinals, the Marshals, the Presidents of the Senate, of the Legislative Corps, of the Council of State; and on behalf of the Em , the Countess de Montijo, her mother, ber uncle, General Alvarez de Toledo, who, I believe, had come to Paris ex- premly for the purpose; the Count de Calvez, bro- her of the Duke of Alba, Berwick, and Linares, who, as I have already mentioned, is the husband of her elder sister, the Duchess of Penaranda, and, in the name of the Grandees of Spain, the Duke of Ossuna and the Marquis of Bedmar, the Spanish Ambaseador, the Marquis of Valdegamas, better known to the literary world as Juan Donoso Cortes. The act being completed, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies announeed to their majesties, in a loud voice, that the ceremony was concluded. In a few minutes the Emperor and Empress, who received the congratulations of her friends, and was cnbeneea oy her mother, rose, and, followed by the members of the Imperial family, withdrew for a short space to the private apartments of the palace. Inabont half an hour they returned, the Emperor the Empress by the hand, froni_ their apartments, and roceeded to the theatre. They were followed by e ladies of honor, the ministers, the marshals, the cardinals, the great functionaries of State. The Em- ror wore his usual dress on such occasions—the full costume of a lieutenant-general, with the star and cross of the Legion of Honor and the collar of the Golden Fleece. The teil aed wore a rose-colored satin dress, with a rich garniture of lace, and a circlet of ld and diamonds. The duke of Ossuna wore the col- of the Golden Fleece over his uniform as a major- (Seay in the Spanish army. I think there could not we been more than 500 or 600 persons present, as the invitations were necessarily limited. The fe lleries and saloons were still more bril- tly lighted and furnished than on any previous ion, and the comparatively small number pre- ent, and the absence of music, im whole matter a solemn character. d to the ie diplomatic corps was very nearly aw complet; and notwithstand- ing the previous rumors with reference to Austria and France, the representative of the former power, / M. de Hubner, was present. Lord Cowley, owing to indisposition, was absent; but Lady Cowley was pre- sent at the ceremony. There were not more half a dozen persons out of uniform; and some Span- iards, who had no military or official character, wore the uniform a} ing to the orders of Spanish knighthood. One in particular, that of the Knights of Malta, was mach remarked. Court dresses were also numerous. After the concert, which was over about half eleven o'clock, the Empress, her mother, and attendants, returned to the Elysée with the same escort and ceremonial as before. On Sunday morning, at 11 o’clock, two of the court carriages went for the Empress to the Palace of the Elysée. In the first was the Grand Mistress of the Household, the Lady of Honor, and the First Cham- berlain of Her Majesty. The second carriage re- ceived the Empress, the Ceuntess de Montijo, and the Grand Master of the Household of the Empress. On reaching the Tuileries, Her Majesty found the Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathilde waiting for her at the bottom of the grand staircase. The cortege then ascended that staircase and proceeded to the Salon de |’Empercur, into which Her Majesty was conducted by the Emperor, accompanied by the Prince Jerome, the Ministers, the Marshals and Ad- Great Huntsman. At an early hour the Place de Carrousel had been taken possession of by the cavalry intended to form the escort of the imperial procession. The | Carabiniers and mounted Gendarmes were placed on the left, the Cuirassiers were stationed on the right, and the Guides, dressed in their splendid new uni- form, were drawn up in the inner court, opposite the Palace. The National Guard and the two battalions | of Gendarmerie Mobile lined the passage left open in | the centre, and the courtyard of the Louvre, the | villagers of. the Banlieue were represented by young fountain of which had been converted into a beau- tiful corberlle of flowers. At 12 o'clock the cavalry | began to move in the direction of the Church of | NotreDame. The ex-Republican Guard and the Gen- | darmerie of the Seine led the way, and were fol- | lowed by the carabiniers and cuirassiers. Next came | the court carriages, in one of which, drawn by six | horses, were seated Marshal Jerome and the Prince, | his son. Ata quarter past twelve o'clock, the im- Maréchaux, where the ceremony of the civil mar- | riage was to be performed. The following order was | observed in their progress :— The Gentlemen Ushers, the Assistant Masters of the Ceremonies, the orderly officers on service, the Emperor's Equerries not on service, the Chamber- Jains not on service, the Masters of the Ceremonies, the Aides-de-Camp not on service, the Equerries on service, the Chamberlains on service, the Aide-de- Camp on service, the Graud Master of the Ceremo- nies, the Grand Huntsman, the First Equerry, the Grand Chamberlain, the Marshals and kdualvade’ the Ministers, Secretaries of State, the Cardinals, the Im- rial Princes, the Emperor and Empress. Then fol- lowed the Grand Mar Almoner of the Emperor, the First Prefect of the Palace, the First Equerry, the First Huntsman, the Lady of Honor, the Princess of the Imperial family, the ladies of the Princesses, and an officer of service of each of the households of the Princes and Princesses. A Master of the Ceremonies, with two assistants, placed the persons invited to the ceremonial begat J to their rank. Two arm chairs, of equal size, were placed on a dais raised in front of the window fooking into the garden, at the bottom of the hall; the one at the right for the Emperor, the other at the left for the future Empress. A table was placed a little on the left, with the book containing | the état civil of the wel family. The book be- longing to the imperial house was archives of the Mare at As State. The first entry in it is dated the 2d of March, 1806, and notes the adoption of Prince Eugene as son of the Emperor ieee in the | Napoleon I., and Viceroy of Italy. The last act | which immediately precedes the act of the marriage of the Em r Napoleon ILI. and. the Empress Engénie, is t of the birth of the King of Rome, A Master of the Cere- monies announced the approach of the Emperor. At that moment the cortége appeared, and each of the ‘rsons composing it took the place assigned to him. he officers and grand officers, and the ladies of honor placed themselves behind the chairs of the Emperor and his bride, according to their rank, the Ministers on the right of the Emperor's throne. "His Majesty, having seated himself on his throne, invited the future pons to be seated. The Imperial Princes were on the right of the throne; the Princesa | Mathilde on the left, near the Empress. Behind them were placed the Countess de Montijo to the right, the Spanish Ambassador, and the Soiahess of the Imperial famaly. ‘The Minister of State, y his See eral, and by the President of the Council of State, stood nedr the table. The first bench was reserved for the wives of the Ministers and of the great officers of the Crown, for the widows of the dignitaries of the Empire, and for the M: Topuiees Shale and "Admirals of Prose The Indies invited | Ford po ld | ficentl; perial carriage issued from under the triumphal arch, pecan by a numerous staff of general offi- cers, Marshal Magnan, the commander-in-chief of the | ray of Paris, riding at the right door, and the guides forming the escort of honor. The carriage was drawn by eight cream colored horses, magni- caparisoned, with their heads orna- ment witl een of white feathers; on | the top was the imperial crown; the sides were all glass, and permitted a full view of the Em- | peror and Empresas, who were cheered, though but sparingly, as they passed. On quitting the Lou- | yre, the cortege proceeded through the new street of | Rivoli amidst double rows of National Guards and troops of the line, and a dense mass of people. The Hotel de Ville, before which the procession next passed, was most elaborately decorated. In each all of the Palace, the Wirst | window was a trophy of tricoloured flags, with esco cheons bearing the initials N. and E., counected with each other by garlands of flowers. The very chim- neys were ornamented with imperial emblems, and | united by festoons of evergreens and flags. Velvet crimson curtains, studded with bees, covered the two | ee gates, and in froutof the adifice a gallery ad been erected, which was filled with the families | of the municipal functionaries. The cortege next as- cended the Quai Pelletier, crossed the river by the bridge of Notre Dame, and proceeded by the Quay of | Napoleon and the Rue d’Arcole to the Cathedral. | It is difficult to give an idea of the immense crowds | that filled the streets in every direction leading to | the cathedral. Many persons who had left their homes at half-past 9, or even 8 o'clock, only suc- ceeded, if they happened to be in carriages, in arriv- ing at a few minutes before 12. The space in front was, however, kept quite clear, and, so far as I could see, the police agents and others, intrusted with maintaining regularity and order in the arrivals, did their utmost to do their duty well, and, as far as it depended on them, to the satisfaction of the public. | Streamers of immense length floated from the loft; towers of the old church, and the 4] in the bel- frieg were covered with tapestry. The hand of the Psetad the mason, and the carpenter, had been very aly eatnhoyee for some days past, and the ohanges that have been wrought in the exterior and inte- rior of Notre Dame do credit to the activity and execution of the architects to whom théy have been intrusted. What the decorations cannot boast of in solidity they have in appearance; and at a cer- tain distance, and with some good-natured allowance, one would suppose that in a few days the repairs that three years suspension of labor had interrupted have been ‘accomplished. It was, indeed, not mere- ly the damages that the slow hand of time effects which were concealed or repaired for the moment, bat the marks of the devastation perpetrated during the revolution of 1793 have almost ceased to be vistble, The niches, so long deprived of the statues of the early kings of France, and which, being mistaken by saints, were have at least in appearance; the rich tapestries, of escutcheons, of crowns and garlands, | and streamers and oviflammes, which adorn the in- terior and the exterior of the building, presented a coup-d’a of the most striking kind. An immense’ portico at the fagade of the building liad three sepa- rate entrances, to which admission was indicated by the form and color of the ti As you passed through the portico, four or five series of draperies, of various colors, drawn up in the form of curtains, | and depending from a great heighth, led to the in- interior. On entering the body of the church, the coup-d'@il was magnilic From the lofty roof hung long streamers, pink, yellow, red, blue, and green, ornamented and richly fringed. Around the gallery ran a line of noes of crimson velvet with gold, and between each compartment shields displayed the arms of France and Spain. Immediately in front of the high altar, and under the orchestra, the Imperial arms, with the crown sur- mounting them, were displayed in relief; and along | the aisles to the extremity of the choir many rows of lustres were suspended from the roof, with countless | lights. The lower parts of the massive pillars that ran along on both sides of the interior were covered | with crimson velvet, and the stems that shot towards | the roof were partly covered with blue cloth or paper, | displaying the imperial crown, the initials, ant they | as well as the tapestry were covered with goldea bees. The grand altar had been removed to the centre of the church. It was surmounted by a lofty | canopy of crimson velvet, lined with ermine, and | held up with golden cords, while the tracery that rose above the altar was left uncovered, and threugh | the interstices might be seen a long blaze of light to the extremity of the building. In the front of the altar was a platform, raised two steps from the ground, and bey 4 carpeted. On this were placed | two prie-Dieu, with fautewils of crimson velvet—that | tothe pate of the altar for the Emperor, and that tothe left for the Empress. The front of the prie-Diew was adorned with the imperial arms wrought in gold. The doors onthe side of the grand entrance, and the southern and northern doors of the church, alone, were opened to the persons invited. The central door was exclusively reserved to their Majesties, and to the ambassadors and foreign ministers, going in a body, and with an escort. Vast estrades, in the form of an amphitheatre, filling each of the branches of the natin cross, were set apart for the French and foreign diplomatic bodies, the Senate, the Legislative bosy, and the Council of State. Tribunes, opening | on to the Latin cross, were set apart for the ladies of | the diplomatic body, the members of the family of | the Emperor who were not in the cortege of their Majesties, the ladies of the Presidents of the great bodies of the State, the ladies of the ministers, the marshals and admirals, the widows of the great ) dignitaries of the Empire, marshals and admirals, | the ladies of the grand officers, the ladiesof the household of the Empress, and the ladies of officers of the household of the Emperor. Other | tribunes and galleries were reserved for the | ladies and gentlemen, not functionaries, invited. The | first row of chairs in the nave was reserved to the | Marshals, the Admirals, the Grand Chancellor, and | the Grand Crosses of the Leglon of Honor. The rest | of the nave was occupied by the deputations of the constituted bodies, by the high functionrries of the | Hapls administrations, and by the other persons in- vited. It was near one o'clock when the imperial cortege arrived. Its approach was announced by a brilliant flourish of trumpets and the music of a military band, and the orchestra then sruck Bs 2 & most | effective wedding march. In a few nutes, the Emperor appeared, preceded by the Great Officers of State, and lea ding the Fmpress by the hand towards the altar. The Emperor wore his | usual costume, and the Empress a dress of white | velvet, termed épinge, richly ornamented, a diadem of brilliants on her head, and a long veil | of pointe d’Alencon lace. They were followed by the Countess de Montijo, the Ladies of Honor, the Ministers, the Marshals of France, and other great | dignitaries. Informed of the approach of the cortege, | the Archbishop of Paris, preceded by his clergy, had | one forward to meet them towards the cent ale, | yy which they entered. The cortege advan‘ to- | wards the thrones, which were placed in the centre of the transept, on a raised floor, covered with an er- mine carpet. The Emperor and Empress took their places on their thrones. On the right of the altar, the five Cardinals were seated; and, farther down, the Mi of France, in full costume, and holdin; their batons of command. The church was crowde in every part, and from the remotest corner of the nave ‘and high galleries hundreds in vain tried to catch even a passing glimpse of the ceremony. As soon as their Majesties placed themselves on their thrones, the Archbishop officiating saluted them, and the ceremony of marriage then commenced. After the blessing of the pieces ot gold and the | nuptial ring, their Majesties advanced to the foot of the altar. remained standing, and gave each other the righthand. The Archbishop, addressing himself first to the Emperor, andthen to the Empress, receiv- ed their declarations to take each other for husband and wife, and successively presented to the Empero the pieces of gold and the ring. The Emperor pre sented the pieces of gold to the Empress, and placed the ring on her finger. After the prayers, they returned to their thrones. They successively pre- sented themselves at the offering. After the Pater their Majesties went t> the foot of the altar and knelt; the first chaplain of the Emperor and another Bishop extended above their heads a canopy of silver brocade, and kept it so extended during the oratson. During the Episcopal benedic- tion and the reading of the gospel, the choir chanted several times the Domine salcum. The archbisho; then presented holy water to their Majesties, an commenced the Te Deum, which was taken up by the orchestra and the singers. After the Te Deum, the great officers of the crown, the princes, the min- isters, and other persons who arrived in the cortege, resumed their places, and their Majesties descended from their thrones, and the procession having re- | formed, the Emperor gave his hand to the Empress, and, after bowing on all sides, left the church. It | was remarked, as they walked down the nave, that the newly married pair are almost exactly of the same height. The cortege returned in the same order as before, by the Rue d’Arcole, the Quai Napoleon, the flower market, the quays of the Louvre and Tuileries, to the Place de la Concorde, where it entered the gar- den of the Tuileries, by the gate of the Pont-Tournant. The garden presented the most picturesque aspect. The foxes adjoining the river was occupied by depu- tations from all the corporations of the city, each dis- tinguished by a banner bearing appropriate mottos. The operatives of the Canal St. Martin had a live ea- gle standing on the top of their banner, to which it was attached by the feet. This exhibition afforded the soldiers much amusement as they filed by. The bird | also attracted the notice of the Emperor, who laughed | very heartily and showed it to the Empress. All the girls, attired in white, and distinguished ‘by silk scarfs of different colors. Each, moreover, carried a banner, ornamented with devices, and vivas for the Emperor and Empress. At about halt-past 2 o’clock the cortége entered the garden of the Tuileries, and the cavalry, after riding up to the Palace, turned to the left and drew up in the alley adjoining the Rue de Rivoli. The moment the imperial carriage made | its appearance, all the young girls rushed forward and actnally filled it with bouquets. The shower was so great at one moment, that the guards were obliged to interfere. The impression made by the Empress’ appearance was decidedly favorable. Everybody ores her handsome and graceful. At three o'clock their Majesties appeared at the balcony of the Pavilion de I’Horloge, looking into the Carrousel; and here it was understood that the romised presentation by the Emperor of his bride bs the troops took place. After receiving their ac- clamations for a few minutes, their Majesties retired, and appeared at the well known balcony which commands a view of the gardens, It was crowded to excess, but the apes was by no means ener- | getic. At four o'clock the newly married pair enter- ed atravelling chariot, and, escorted by a picked juadron of Carabiniers, and attended by several other carriages, occupied by meinbers of their suite, set out for St. Cloud, by way of the Place de la | Concorde and the Champs Elysees, their appearance, as throughout the day, exciting rather curiosity | than enthusiasm. The troops and the immense mul titude soon dispersed. Before seven o'clock the illu minations commenced, but, with rare exceptions, they were confined to the te buildings, of which the Hotel de Ville and the Elysée were the most conspicuous. The Paris Moniteur of Monday, the 31st, an- nounces that the Emperor, on the occasion of his marriage, has pardoned more than 3,000 persons from among those who were the object of the mea- sures for general safety in the month of December, 1851. Their names will shortly be published. The Emperor and Empress dine on Tuesday, the Ist instant, at the Palace of Versailles.

Even if a complete case of miscondaict were established against the minister who signed this convention, (which we by no means admit or believe to be the case,) the contract would be not the less binding on both parties; and the object of the two governments, which was the establishment ofa free and neutral ship-canal between the Atlantic and Pacific. ocean, remains vials unaffected by the omission which Mr. Cass and his friends profess to detect in this negotiation. As, however, this debate has thrown some light on the manner in which one party in the United States is disposed to apply what is termed ‘the Monroe principle” to Central Ameri- ca, and even to our own settlements in that part of the American continent, we feel called upon to lay the question before our readers, though we are un- willing to suppose that these proceedings have arisen out of py motives offensive or hostile to this country, and wé cannot seriously believe that the American Senate will demand the abrogation of a convention f great public utility, solely because it has not de- peired Great Britain of a territorial right which she as enjoyed for nearly two centuries. .__ In the first article of Sir H. Bulwer’s treaty it was eepalated that neither ‘the American nor ‘the Bri- tish government shouid hereafter assume or exercise any dominion over Nicaragna, Costa Rica, the Mos- quito coast, or any part of Central America.” This rovision was intended not only to secure the pro- Reed canal from any armed occupation, but also, on the part of the United States, to remove the appre- hensions which had been excited by the British pro- tectorate of the Mosquito coast, and by the designs erroneously imputed to Great Britain on the State of Costa Rica. As we have anes regarded the pre tensions put forward by Lord Palmerston, with refe- rence to the kingdom of Mosquitia, as mischievous and untenable, we entirely concur in his readiness on this occasion to surrender them for a much more But it is remarkable that so astute a diplomatist as Sir Henry Bulwer should have allowed the words ‘or any part of Central America” to stand in this article, without some express reservation in favor of the British settlements of Honduras and the Bay of Islands, which may be said to belong gooaraphically to that part of the globe. The oversight was | toon discovered, and on the 29th of June, 1850 Sir Henry Bulwer informed Mr. Clayton that he was instructed to insist on an explanatory declaration previous to the exchange of ratifications, to the effect that this provision does not apply to her Majesty’s settlement of Honduras and its dependencies. On the 4th of July, Mr. Clayton replied that the Ameri- can government did so understand the provision, and with this assurance the ratifications were exchanged gnd the negotiation concluded as far as the two exe- | cutive governments were concerned. But in this in- terval of time the treaty had been referred by General Taylor, then President of the United States, to the Senate for its approval. A discussion took Near and the treaty was accepted by a majority of 42 to 11, on the 22d of May—that is, five weeks before Sir Henry Bulwer had demanded the explanation with reference to Honduras and its dependencies. The charge, therefore, now made against Mr. Clayton is, that he laid the treaty before the Senate for its approval at a time when thts point had not been raised; that he af- terwards settled the point by ‘an exchange of de- clarations which were not submitted to the Senate at all; and that the constitutional powers of that body over treaties with foreign powers were consequently not duly exercised in this instance. On these grounds Mr. Cass has attacked the whole transaction with his usual violence, affirming that neither the Senate nor himself had ever understood the treaty to comprise the stipulation accepted by Mr. Clayton’s note; that, if it had been so under- stood, the treaty would not have had a single vote; and asserting that Mr. King, then Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, had verbally assured him that this qualification of the original treaty pro- oxed by the British Government had been aban- loned. On this last statement, however, it seems that Mr. Cass is contradicted by Mr. King himself. Other Senators declared that their only object in vot- ing forthe treaty was “to get the British out of Central Americas” These assertions aud arguments were ably refuted by Mr. Seward, of the State of New York; but nevertheless they are brought for- ward with all the weight of what is now the domi- nant party in the Union, and they are avowedly in- tended to discredit the Clayton and Bulwer treaty in the estimation of the people of the United States. We are rised that any class of politicians should have adopted such a course of policy on such asubject. Ifever there was a treaty negotiated on broad grounds of public utility, it is this convention. Its object, and its only object, was to promote the execution of a ship-canal between the two oceans, and to secure the freedom and neutrality of the pas- fage against all contingencies. The country through which such a canal must pass belongs neither to the United States nor to Great Britain; and, though British or American capital and industry would doubtless be required to complete such a work, yet this convention was intended to secure the canal itself and the adjacent country from the dominion or exclusive sovereignty of either power. The term “Central America’ was employed, because that expression is commonly used to denote the States of Nicaraugua, Guatemala, St. Salvador, and Costa Rica; but it was certainly never intended to include the whole isthmus, from Mexico to New Granada, and still less to deprive us by a side wind, of the settlements of British Hondu- ras, which we have held by use, and by express treaty with Spain, forso long a period. The distance from Belize to the proposed canal is 500 miles, and our possessions in that region were not more particu- larly described, probably because it seemed impossi- ble to confound things so remote. The American government, umer Mr. Polk, had long before acknowledged our sovereignty in Honduras, by send- ing a consul to Belize, who, of course, received Her | Majesty's exequatur, and, if any doubt could be thrown on the British title to absolute sovereignty in that settlement, such objections in no way concern the United States. Our treaties with Spain origi. nally, gave us the right to cut logwood and ma- | hogany on these coasts; and, though leave was afterwards conceded to the British” government to occupy territory for these purposes within certain | limits, some reservation was made of the sovereign rights of Spain in the convention of 1786 between the two crowns. But, since Spain has lost all the circumjacent provinces, her interest in the country is extinct, and ours is established under a commission from that crown, by prescription, and by successful defence. There is no reason to suppose that Mr. Clayton bad ever directed his attention at all to this subject, when he was honestly engaged in negotia- ting with Sir Henry Bulwer for a totally different purpose. Indeed, it could hardly cross the mind of any rational being, that in settling with the United States the neutral condition of this canal, the British government was renouncing rights to one of its own settlements, especially as the United States are not in the remotest degree con- nected with this territory. This eertainly is the wildest application of the “ Monroe principle” we have ever heard of—that the Senate of the United States is te canvass the title of European govern- ments to their American possessions, even though United States themselves cannot pretend to any legal or territorial interest in the region in which they are situated. Mr. Clayton declared, on e treaty with Sir Henry Bulwer, that commercial nations of the world would be strength- ened by this new bond of union between them; and he anticipated the happiest results from their honor- able and peaceful alliance for the pur diffus- ing the blessings of commerce and civilizati Yet there are statesmen at this time in the political abrogate the treaty to which these auspicious words Ba la ud tem and to abrogate it even before its ohject is accomplished by the construction of the canal, because it does not dispossess the British crown of a settlement on the coast of Honduras. The absurdity of such a proceeding is safficiently obvious from @ mere statement of the fact ; and, iu- deed, the treaty in question is, by its very nature, a perpetual engagement, since it was designed to establish a perpetual neutrality in favor of the pas- sage. But we regret still more the spirit evinced by such attacks on the foreign het gu be ay of a pre- ceding government ; and we trust the wisdom of the Senate of the United Stafes will resist and defeat these factions suggestions, which are calculated to sacrifice a noble and a universal object to the mean- est views of national animosity.

He admitted that Mazzinghi’s sentence was in conformity with the law, but he demanded that the law be changed.
