Many of the mcmliers of Assembly took thithcr with them a part of their families, and tliis session was graced by the pres ence of scveral high-born 3'oung maidcns, who had ncvcr bcfore been prcsented at court. One among thcse was evidcntly thc thcmc ofgcncral admiration. Somc ofthc statelicr matrons crilicized her as dcficicnt in height. But, tlionh somcwhat bencath the middlc staturc, sho possesscd that round ad evniisite sTnmctry which the early historians have ascribed to the fascinating Anne Boleyn. A pure complexion and clear cyc, were finely conlrastcd with dark, jloy and rcdundant hair. Still it was found difncult by common obscrvcrs, to an alyzc hcr bcauty ; for it rcsted not on any permanent gift. but on tho consent of the whole movcnient, and tho melody of voice, were confcssed to hc among its clcments. Morc ofanimation was hers, than is won't to distingutsh the modcrn Southcrn bcauty; but what chtedv won old and young, wns a V.and chcerfulness, thc silent history of the soul's happiness, and an cxpressive smile, inspiring every behulder with confidcncc likc a bcam from the tcmplc of truth. Thcugh slichad scarcely numbered twice cipht summcrs, thrrc was about her a wo manly dignit-, which chastencd former admiration into rcspcct. Among thosc who had paid their dcvoirs to this lovely young ctcature was Uolonel Custis, one of the most accomplished gen. tlemen of his time. His fathcr, the Hon. John Custis of Arlington, held thc offico of King s Counsellor, and was a man of wealth and distinction. His attendancc at Wi. iamsburgh during thc prcsent session had been somcwhat intcrruptcd by 111 hcallh ; and while thcre the graver duties of the Statesman had so far alisorbcd him as to rcnder him ignorant as to what reigning beauties had produccd sensation at Court. Not long after the euspension of tho levces, and the return of the burgesses to their liomes, the counsellor requeste'd a conver. salion in his cabinet with liisson, Col. Dan. iel Parke Cujtis. 'I trust I have always shown that regard foryour welfare which is due from an af fectionate father to his only son. I nm n tont to give another proof of it. In short I whh to lurn your attention to a suitable marriage." The Colonel bowed. "You know, Colonel Byrd, of Westover, to be my very particular friend. His daugh lcris one of the most beautiful and accom plished ladies in Virginia. It is my desire that you form with her a mitrimonial alli ance." He seemed to want for a reply, but in vam.

'f t r i i j r aer namer "Miss Martha Danbridge." According to a happy prescience, the 'ofty counsellor gave his consent to the nup tials, and the flower of the court of Will 'amsburgh became a brido, in the blush of "i seyenteenth sumtner. Their residence was a retired and roman. ftic mansion on the banks of Ihe Pamunkey. : Itreared its white walls amid a profnsion of ' vines and flowering trees.

The most striking figurc of tho , group was a ta.ll, graccful man, and appa. rcntly twonty-six years ofage. Ilcwould have been a model for a statuary when Rome was in her best days. 1 1 is compan ion was an elderlv man, in a plain garb, who, by the familiarity with which he poin. ted out surrounding objccts, would seem to be taking his daily rounds upon his own i estate. As they approachcd the avcnue to an antique mansion, he placed his hand on j the rein ofhis companion. Nay, Colonel Washington, let it nevcr be said that vou over oasseo Iho houso of i your fathcr's f'ricnd withoutdismounting. ' 1 must have thc honor of delaymg you as mv gucst.' 1 ' Thanks to vou mv dear sir. but I ride in I haste, the bearer of dcspatches to our Gov- J ernorin Williamsburg,which may not brook delay. ' Is this ihe noblc stecd which was givcn you by thc dying Braddock on thc fatal ficld of Monongahela 1 and this the same servant he bequcathcd you at the same time?' Washington answered in thc arTirmalivc. ' Thcn my dear Colonel, thus inountcd and attended, you may well dine with mc, and by borrowing somc of this finc tnoon light, rcach Williamsburg erc his Exccllen-J cy shall have shakcn offhis morning slum bers.' Do I understand that I may be cxcuscd immcdiatcly after dinner V ' Certainly.' Then, Sir, I accept your kind hospitali tv.' And giacefully throwing himsclffrom the charger, he resigned the rein to his En glish servant, givingut the same time slrict ordcrs as to thc time when hc must be rcady with the horses to pursue their journey. I ani rejoiccd. Colonel Washington,' said thc hospitable old gentleman, fortu nately to have mct you on my morning ride ; and thc more so as I have some guests who may make thc rcpast pass pleasantly, and will not fail to appreciate our young and valianl soldicr.' Washington bowcd bis thanks. and was introduccd to the company. Virginia's far.famed hospitality was wcll set forth in that baronial hall. Prccise in his housc hold regulations, the socia feast was closed at thc time thc host had prcdictcd. The servant was also punctual hc kncw thc habits ofhis master. At thenppointed mo ment he stood with horses caparisoned at the gate; and much did hemarvel, as lis tening to every footstcp that paccd down the avenue, he saw the sun sink in the west, and vet no masler appcar. At length or ders came that tho horse should be put up lor the niht. Wonder unon wonder ! when , his business with the Governor was so ur- j eenl ! The sun was hich in the heavens the next day ere Washington mounted for his journey. No explanation was given, but it was rumored that among tne guests was a beautiful and youthful widow, to whose charms his heart had responded. This was further confirmcd by his tarrying butabrief spaceat Williamsburg. retracing his rout with unusual celerity, and becom ing a frequent visitor at the housc of the late Colonel Custis, in the vicinity where the followmg year, his nuptials were cele brated. Henceforlh the life ofthe lady of Mt. Vernon is a part of thc history of hcr coun try. In that hallowed retreat. she was found entering into the plans of Washington.shar- j ing his conndence, ana maKing nis nouse-i hold happy. There her only daughter Mar-j tha Custis, died in the bloom or youth ; a few years after, when the troubles of tho country drew her husband to the post of commander-in.chief of her armies, she ac companied him to Boston, and wttessed its seige and evacuation. For eight years he returncd no more to cnjoy his beloved resi dence on the banks ofthe Potomac. During his absence, sho made the most strenuous cfforts to discharge tho added weight of care, and to endure, with changeless trust j in Heavcn, continued anxiety for one so inexpressibly dear. At the close of each campaign, she repaired, in compliance with his wishes, to head quarters, where the la dies ofthe general officers joined her in for. rhing such society as diffused a cheering influence over even the sloom of ths winter of Valley Forge and Morristown. The o pening of every campaign was the signal re turn of Lady Washington, (as sho was call ed in the army,) to her domcstic cares at Mount Vernon. I hcar,' said she, ' the first and last cannon of tho revolutionary wnr. The rejoicings which attended thc surrender of Cornwallis, in the nutumn of 1781, marked for her ascason of thc deep est sorrow. Her remaining chifd, Col. John Custis, thc aid-dc-camp of Washington, became during his ardnous duties nt thc scige of Yorktown, tho victim of an cpidemic fever, and died at the age of Iwcnty. sevcn. Hc was but a boy of five at the time of her sec ond marriage, and had drawn for;h strongly the affectiuns and regard of her illustrous husband, who sharcd her affliction for his loss, and by the tenderest sympathy strorc to alleviate it.

Thc Spring of 1707 opened for them with thc most pleasing anticipations. The cares of high ofiice wcro resigned, and they were about to rctirc, for the remaindcr of their days, to the bolovcd shades of Mount Ver non. The new turf springing into fresh grecnncss wherevcr they trod, thc vernal blossoms opcning to rcccivc them, thc war b!ud welcome of thc birds, were nevcr more dear, as, wcaried with thc toils of puhlic life, and satiatcd with its honnrs, Ihcy returncd to their rural retreat, hallowcd by tho rc collections of carlicr years and by thc con scientiousncss of virtuc. But in two years Washington was no more. Thc shock of his death, after an ill noss of only twcnty.four hours, fell like a thunder.bolt upon tho bercavcd widow. i 1 he piety which had long been hcr strcngth continued its support, but hcr heart droop ed ; and though hcr cheerfulncss did not utterly forsake hcr, she dischargcd hcrha bitual round of duties, as ono who felt that ' thc glory had deparled.'

Tue Black Tabiff Agais. A paper from St. Johns, New Brunswick, has thc following paragraph, which shows that the effectofthat avful Whig Tariff is felt in fhat province. "We notice they are fetching Tea from Boston but it can't pay so the dealers say. The new tariff is operaling to tho delriment ofthe trade wjth the mother country nshals, shoes, and such like man tifacturcs must come from the United Statcs and the monev must go to pay for thcm. Is this to be, Robert Peel ?" Robert Peel can't help them in this di lemna, if the Whigs of this country but do their duty. FATHER MATHEW. Some of tho facts mentianed in the fol lowing extract from Mr. Lewis Tappan's spcech at Brooklyn, will doubtless be new to most readcrs : Falher Mathcw. I met a man who kncw Father Mathcw in Cork, and who was n temperance man and an abolitionist. Hc told mc that Father Mathcw was pas tor of a Catholic churc i in Cork. He ap pears lo be a good man. There was a man named William Martin residing in his ncighborhood, who gol him lo read some of tha temperanco papers, and subsequently to take thc pledge. Hu then commenccd preaching K mperancc and getting thc mem bers of his flock to take the pledge which increased to olher individuals, and in a short time it required all his time to admin u'er tho pledge. He wcnt to Limsrick, a short distance from Cork, for tho purpose of administering the pledge, expecting to find about 500 peopie ihere. instead of which 200,000 had collected all anxious to have ihe pledge adminislered to them. Father Mathcw was overpowered with tho cxccss of his happy cmolions. He said il was tho Lord's doing, and there was no grcater proof of il than his having yelected such a humble individual as himselTor the task. His Bishop went to him soon afterwards and rcmonslrated at his deparling from the legitimate cnurse ofhis religiou duties. Hc said don't you sce that the publicans in the country do more to sustain our religion than any others. " Yes," was the reply ol Fa ther Maihew, " I do ; and I know also ihat your brother is one of tho largest distillers in this country." Falher Mathcw awarc ihat he would bo the subject of clerical cen sure, and perhaps removal.wrote to ihe Popo ofRome, and got a commission sent back to him as Vicar Apostolic, which took him out of the hands of ihe bishops in Great Britain aud Ircland. The Pope said lo him, "you look to mo and I will look lo you," so that we have to commend the Popo for one good lhing at any rate. Falher Maihew now travcls freo whenever he choos. es to go, as no one thinks of charging him anylhing. He has been chargcd with par simony in laking a shilling each for medals, but he is not amenable to the ccnsure, as the amount is not more than the cost. He is independcnt as lo the pecuniary circum stances, as he enjoys 900 a year which he inherited from his falher, and which for a single man, as from his situation hc ncccs essariSy is, furmshcs an abundance for his support. 1 saw Father Mathcw at Liverpool, and a little paity was mado up for him to dino with us. Dinner was waitinc, but he could not como, bccausc he said if he did, twelve hundrcd pcrson3 wouM go awav without ta king the pledge. SVe went up'to thc Calh olic Chapel and saw a number of moa and boys crying out and selling Father Mathew's Temperance sermoa ofthe lasl Sunday. On coming to where Father Maihew was, vve found him administe'ing the pledge to sixty and a hundred persons at n time. His mcde of doing so was to make them kneol down and rcpeat the pledge as he pro nouncrd it. He took hold of both my hands, and said he was always glad to see any one from tha United Stales, und asked me as lo Mr. Delcvan and others. In 1815, I gavc tho first pledge in favor of Temperance, but thought on this occasion I might aswcll rc new it, and applied to Father Mathew to that eflect. He said he would administer it to me alono, and did so, at the same time giv me his mcdal. The hair of Father Mathcw is s little gray. He told me he was about hTty four years of age. He wears a longsurtout which comes about half way between his knccs and an kles, and old fashioned boots over his pan- taioons. Me snaKes hands with so many that his har.ds usually showthe etTects of it. He is no way particular, kissing the faces of the little children which ihe molhers hold up to him, whether clean or dirty. He ad minislers ihc pledge to a large number at once. Hc ihen gives them what hc calls the sign ofthe cross, which is a little dab in ihe forehead, and it is incredible how fost he gets through wiih them, completing proba bly thirty in a minute. By requcst, I then addressed the ppople told them my mater nal anccstors belonged to Ireland. Hurrah for Ireland, was the loud opplausc. I then told them that if Father Mathcw would cometo New York, 50,000 Irishmcn would assrmble with him in the Park to take the pledge. Hurrah for New York, was the re ply. And thus they continued greeliag iu a good humored manner what l advanced. (KT The Troy Budget lalks of ihe ex travagance of "the prcsent Whig adminis tration al Washington." John Tyler is no Whig, though he succeeded in passing him self offns ono at Ihe Harnsburg Conven tion. Eighteen months ago he wcnt over to the Loco Focos who reccived him for the sake ofthe " spoils" that he broughl in his clutcbes. It may well be Ihat they aro now sick of their bargain and want to gel rid ofthe Captain, but the Whigs will not lake him back on any tcrms, and the Loco Focos must get on with their load as best they can. Alb. Eve, Jour. Anecdoie op Mr. Clay. Tha fol lowing, copied, Irom Mallory's " Life and Speeches of Henry Clay, "refutes ono of ibe moslcurreDtofltiewhotesale calumoies against the great Statesman : " In the spring of 1829, we had the pleasure of being a fellow passengor with Mr. Clay from New-Orleans toN Louisville. After a general acquainlance had been e tablished" among the cabin passengers, to pass away tho time more agreeably, it was proposed lo have a game of cards, in whicb one ofthc number proposed to invito Mr. Clay to join. When the invitalion was given he enquired what game was proposed. The reply was, Brag " The sudden com pression ofthe lips, and thc change ofcasv politeness to the dignified deporlmenl of one onlitled to give advice, at once.to give a determination not to engage in iho game " Excuse me gentlemen," said he4 " I have not played a game of any kind of hazard for ihe last twelve years: and I take occasion to warn you all lo avoid a practice des truciiveof a good name, and drawing after it evil consequcnces oC mcalculable mag nitude. In early days it was my misfoi. tune, owing to an ardent tcmperiment, to fall into this vice, and to a considerablo ex- tent, and no onc can lament more sincerely tho evil and the consequences of it than 1 .1 P I f II , do. These have followed me mto nearly all tho walks of life, and though I have long since abandoned the pcrmcious practice which led to them, it sccms that they will never abandon me." THE KENTUCKY ELECTION. From the Louisville Journal. "Tho Locofocos throughoul the country will no doubt feel very thankful that five members of their party have been returncd trom tho Whig Stato of Kcntucky to ihe next Congress. Lct them be cautious, how. cver, to whom they give -their thanks, lcast they violatcthe go'den injunction of render ing unto Crcsar the things which belong to Ca;sar. Let them, most espccialiy, not thank Locofocoism for this result, for we can assure them they aro indcbted to their enemies, the Whigs, for all the favors that Kcntucky has bestowed upon them. It is too rerractorv and impracticable Whigs ihat the thr.nka of tho nation are to bo awarded for bringing about the g'orious result, a di. vision ol tho UongresonaI delegalion of this State between thc Whies and Loco- locos. . In the strenglh ofthc Whig party in Ken- tucky is to be found ihe reason ofthe ap. parent successesof Locofocoism in the re- cent Congrcssional elcclions. This seenis paradoxical, but it is truo. Tho strenglh of our party in the difTerent districts was un. favorablc lo harmony. Had our majoritics oeen only onc.tenth as grcat as they aro in mo districts in which we failed to succeed, the ucccssity of unanimity of feeling and action lo succcss wouid have been manifest, and all minor considcrations would have bcen merged in a patriotic deairclo promotc the interests ofthe Whig party. As it, was, hoivcvcr, our friends sufTered personal prcdilcctions to divide them ; and lhe ex pression of these prcdilcctions and the con irovcrsics resulting from them, conspire to scperate thetn from each othcr, and, on thc day of elcclion, insicad ofmarching up to tho polls in solid phalanaxcs, they went in detachments, looking suspcctingly at cach othcr, as if ihey wero euemics instead of friends, striving by the same means to se curo thoasccndencyofour party,aod through it, of promoting the permanent interests of thc country. Wo felt greatly disposcd to tell that por tion of our Whig friends, to whom we aro indebted for five Locofoco Congrcssmen from our State, some unplcasant things we felt that in tho dischargo of our duties, it had bccome incumbcnt on us to'speak harshly lo men with whom it has b;en our pride, in many a by.gone year, to acl, to, fight, and to win honor on thc political ficld.

Wo have but little doubt ihat the fact that lhe Locofocos eucjecding in electing one half of lhe Congrpssional delegalion from this State, when ihc Whigs had in their power to elect every member of it, will ex ert a wholcsome influence over our party hereafter. We have been taught ihat in harmony, and not in stronght, is our safety Ihat, if wc are divided. the weak enemy will take advantage of our divisions, will succeed. In Mr. Andrew's district, thc Whigs did not lurn out and the Locofocos did ; and, therefore, Judge French, the most popular Lccofoco in ihc State, was elected. In lhe Covington district, the division in our ranks founded on personal preferences, and a most wrelched and vicioui system of swapping vote?, caused the succcss of Mr. Tibbatts.
