CCjF" The Ciucinhatti Chronicle says the question was recently started in one. of the Dourts (of that State, we presume,) whether marriage contracts entered into on Sunday were valid.

A New Agext to Prevent Paix Dr. Simp son, an English Physician, has discovered a a new agent to prevent pain, which is consid ered superior to ether. It is called Chloroform, and its action is much more rapid and complete than ether, usually requiring only about twen ty inspirations. Its perfume is most agreeble, and the odor is not attached to the clothes. It can be applied upon a cloth or sponge. ; The Taylok Resolution Passed bt both Hocses is Tennessee. The resolution recom mending Gen. Taylor for the Presidency was finally passed on Wednesday, by a vote of 42 yeas to 30 nays. We republish it as follows: Resolved ly the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, That the people of Tennes see by their Representatives, do hereby recoru mend to their fellow-citizens of the Union, GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR, as a can didate for the Presidency at the next election, in whose ability, impartiality, patriotism and devotion to the constitution, confidence can be safely reposed by the people." CCJThe Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Mirror says: "I have just had an inter view with a wafrm friend of Mr. Clay, who yesterday received a letter from the great "Har ry of the West," that eminent statesman de clares that he will not run for the Presidency in opposition to Gen. Taylor: This fact may be relied en, and the announcement is received here by the Whig party proper, with the ut most satisfaction. Mr. Clay is expected to ar rive ar the Capital in a few days, and it is gen erally believed that he will publish a card in ac cordance with the above statement." COThe "Home Journal," by Morris & Wil lis, comes to us this week highly enriched, and containing the commencement of a new Amer ican Novel, of fresh and piquant interest, from a distinguished and popular pen. Thj Home Journal is one of the best family. papers pub lished and should have a general circulation. ; Klr"It is stated that quite a respectable num ber or democratic papers in New Yoik and Pennsylvania have hoisted the nameof Mahtin Van Buren, as the democratic candidate for President in the campaign of '4S A Locofoco Failure. We learn from the Louisville Courier that the Democratic State Convention which assembled at Frankfort on Saturday last, adjourned without making nom iuations for Governor and Lieutenant Govern or. The attendance was so meagre and so few counties were represented that it wasdetermin ed another convention should meet on the 15th ofMarch. ' djT"The first direct appeal for deficiency, in the Mexican War, is made in the following correspondence submitted to the House of Rep resentatives by the Secretary of War, on the 22ud ult. No doubt large, very large claims will be made beside this to eke out the expsn scs to 1st of July next, to which the estimates and appropriations are previously made. This deficiency at six mouths before the expiration of the fiscal year for which appropriations were made, and this too for 81,000,000 to pay ar rearages in one only of the departments, Com missary of Subsistence, is certainly alarming. War Department. Washington, December 17, 1S47. Sir: I have the honor to lay before you a let ter from the commissary general, showing the pressing necessity of an early appropriation for the deficiency in the commissary department. It is exceedingly important to the public service that immediate provision should be made to meet the deficiencies not only in that depart partment, but also those in the other branches of the War Department, for which estimates have been made and submitted to Congress. Any delay in this respect will be highly detri mental to the public interest. . Very respectfullv, your obedient servant, W. L. MARCY, Secretary of War. Hon. S. F. Vinton, Chairman Com. of Ways and Means, House of Heps. OrncE or Commissary Gen.of Subsistence. . Washington, Dec. 17, 1847. . Sir : I have the honor to report that the ap propriations applicable to '-army subsistence" are nearly exhausted. The whole sum now remaining to the credit of such appropriations does not exceed sixty thousand dollars; and that sum is absolutely necessary to meet the demands of the recruit ing service. Recent information from the principal com missaries of subsistence in -Mexico, makes it " necessary for me to respectfully ask that the early attention of Congress, may be called to my "estimate" of the 9th of November, in which the deficiency in the former appropria tions is stated, as drafts to the amount of five hundred thousand dollars may be daily expect ed to reach the United States, and, as above shown, this department has no means of pay ing them. . Most respectfull.y your obedient servant, GEO. GIBSON, C. G. S. Hon, W. L. Makcy, Secretary of War. "Goxe to Grass."

A -gentleman of Cincinnati and a lady of Philadelphia, were married, in the latter city, on Thursday night of last week, and the fact being communicat-. ed by telegraph, the wedding feast was held simultaneously in Cincinnati and Philadelphia. The "joy greeting" and the response were tel egraphed, the Cincinnati Commercial says; and, therefore,. though strange as it may seem, this wedding celebration had participants in per sons seperated by nearly a thousand miles ! What will science do next? FREAKS OF A MEXICAN BULL. In an interesting letter to the Philadelphia North American, dated Puebla, 5th August, we find thefollowinghumorous accountof an inpromp tu "bull-fight:" J About a week since Generals Scott, Twiggs and Shields, with an escort of dragoons, and the 2d and 7th infantry, made an excursion to the site of the ancient Aztec cit, and I joined it. About two miles from Puebla a laughable incident occurred, though it well nigh ended in a tragedy. The infantry were ascending an easy slope, when two Mexicans came along with a powerful bull, which one of them held by a lasso over the horns, while the other urg ed him along with a goad. The animal be came restive as the soldiers passed, and finally breaking away from those who held him, charg ed the left flank, carrying a soldier through the ranks on his horns, and landing him in the mud on the opposite side of the road. The two men finally got hold of -the lasso again, and were getting him along very well, when four of us civilians came along on horses. Then he began to plunge and paw the ground, and one of the Mexicans who got in front of the beast to beat him still, was tossed clear over the bull's back.- ' The infuriated creature then pitched into the other, and throwing him in about two feet of mud and water, gored and ducked him tor sev eral seconds. All the horsemen rode up and succeeded in driving the animal from his prey, when he turned and put after us, more infuria ted than ever. As we had no arms, and did not choose to have our horses ruined, there was some pretty "tall walking" for a short distance. The animal Tan down the column till near the head of the 7th Regiment, and then charged again, making a pretty vide breacn m trie ranks. After satisfying himself that the 7th was "no where" when he was about, he made a rush on the 2d. The bovs had time to fix their bayonets, however, and met our friend so cooly. that after receiving five or six bayo net wounds he hauled off and gave up the bat tle. In a few moments 1 saw him lassoed by a horseman and pulled along towards the city, bleeding profusely, and looking quiticrest-lal- leu. tie had evidently been deceived in his first charge, and seeing no bayonets, probably did not reckon on'finding any . on his second plurge. But he can (if the butchers have not killed him, which I strongly suspect,) console himself with the fact that he made more con- sterna lion among two regiments of the U. S. Infantry than a thousand two-legged Mexicans could have done. The St. Louis Republican contains the ad vices from Santa Fe. which reached us by tel egrapn a lew uay6 since. We give a lew ex tracts from the Republican: Santa Fe, Nov. 7, 1S17. There is at present considerable trouble and excitement about the acts of Col. Newby. I find that the colonel has been trying to estab lish something like order and military discip line among the troops at this post, and has not been supported by bis officers. The American citizens held a meeting lately (in which there wasanumberol otiicers) condemning the course of Colonel Newby in regard to suppressing the sale ot liquor, lhe colonel had ordered out three companies of infantry to quell anything like riot or disorder, which might occur after the meeting had adjourned; but as every thing remained quiet, the troops were ordered to their quarters. JNow the citizens hold that the col onel is abusing his power, and that by calling out troops he hoped to stop the meeting, which was not the case, as J have been assmred by the colonel, that it was done to keep order in the town, knowing as he did the excitability of the citizens of Santa Fe. The majority of the Americans living here are men of the worst character, who, finding that they could stay no longer in the States, have come out here for the purpose of swind ling and stealing the hard wages of the private soldier. " Every grog shop has a gambling hall attach ed to it,in which there are nightly scenes of riot and contusion disgraceful to any military post I am pained to add that at some of the tables may be found men wearing officer's uniforms, dealing monte and faro to privates of their own companies. When Col. Newby arrived here, he. found that if there was not some measures taken to stop the sale of liquor there could be no dis cipline among the troops, He immediately issued an order that no spirits should be sold to anv soldier witnout the written permit of the officer commanding the company to which such soldier belonged. The order was so far disregarded by some of the officrs that they gave permission to trie keepers ol grog-sliops to sell their men what liquor they wanted, lhe citi zens, knowing this, raised the cry of oppres sion against the colonel with but little effect, however, for since I returned there have been two grog shops closed, by order of the colonel, for selling without orders. Capt. G. is now under arrest on ten charges, any one of which, if proved, will cashier him. He was brought before the Alcade yesterday on charge of stealing a gun from Dr. Jackson, ot bt. Louis. It was proved that he did steal the gun at Fort Leavenworth but as he was a captain, the sentence was that he. should give up the stolen property; had he been a private, he would have worn a ball and a chain. There was a small mutiny in Capt. Geise's company yesterday, which was quelled by the appearance of two of the Illinois companies. By the way, speaking of the Sucker regiment, there is nothing like discipline among them; every man does as thinks fit, and their officers do not try to restrain them. I was returning from the paymaster's last night, and finding no sentinel at the door l went back ana reported the circumstance to the maior, who came out and commenced a search for the missing sol dier; he was at last found fast asleep in Major Spalding s carriage. The fact was immediate ly reported to the officer of the guard, (who was also a Sucker.) his reply was that "the poor fellow teas aleepv'.' There is considerable sickness among the troops now at this post. The principal dis ease is the lulluenza. Glory. The following illustration of the lines in "Hamlet," "Imperial Ceasar dead, and turned to clay, Might stop a hole to keep that wind away." occurs in a orkshire paper: Millions of bush els of human bones have been transported from the continent to Hull for agricultural purposes. These, which were collected on the plains of Leipsic, Austerlitz, and Waterloo, were the bones of the bold, the brave, and the chivalrous who fell fighting their country's battle. With them were mixed the bones of the horses, and both were ground to dust, sent to Doncaster, and sold lor manure. The Mayor in Ldsdos. The Lord Mayor of London has a salary of 890,000 a year. He has also a mansion or palace, provided by the city corporation, which is furnished with great splendor; the banquet ball rooms and the Egyp tian hall are magnificent apartments. There is a spacious and elaborately carved state bed. There are twenty-four footmen in sumptuous liveries allowed the Mayor, besides a sword bearer, who rides with him in his state car riage, a chaplain, a tost, two marshals, dressed in sumptuous uniform, and twenty marshals, men in blue, red and gold. The mayor during his year of office is always dressed in court suit and wears a scarlet mantle trimmed with sable fur, a large gold chain and diamond badge pending from it round bis neck. His wife is called the lady mayoress, and should she become a mother during the time of her husband's may orality. she receives a silver cradle as a present from the corporation. The carriage of the mayor is generally most beautifully adorned with painting and gilding, and the liveries of the servants are generally gaudy in the extreme, being one mass of gold and silver lace. The state coach is an im mense vehicle of carved work, richly gilded, and having paintings representing the triumphs of commerce and civilization over barbarism. These paintings are mostly bv the celebrated Hogarth, The "Lord Mayor's Day," the ninth of November, the day of his inauguration into office, is one of great splendor, the state coach es with six horses, accompanied with the footman in state livery, the whole of the guilds or city companies in their mantles of ceremony, large banners of silk, with the arms ot tne companies and a mantler ot knights in full amor, as in the days of the tournament. This georgeous procession returns by water. The boats are all carving, the rowers in rich dresses, twenty to each boat, and the banneis of all sorts streaming from them. The Sheriffs of London, two in number, receive no salaries they have very splendid carriages and livieries during their term of oihee, and wear in the courts purple silk gowns, with fur trimming ana gold cnains. Boston Jxamoler. Napoleon was a great friend of peace, and to DringaDout a universal peace m Europe he em ployed thf most energetic means. He eschew ed negotiation as unworthy a hero, and deter mined to conquer it! He devoted a large por tion of his life to this object, and expended, in in his vigorous attempts to "conquer a peace," many millions of treasure and millions of lives. He was unsuccessfull in his efforts, and, to his great astonishment, peace to Europe was se cured only by his own captivity! Mr. PoLKseems anxious to follow the exam ple ofNapoleon in restoring peace to this conti nent. He is prodigal of the lives and fortunes ot the people, yet there is no promise that his offorts will be attended with success. "Give more money, and more men," he exclaims, "and I will give you peace; I will conquer peace." Boston Journal. From the Rorchester Democrat. The Last Case of Somnambulism. Our city waa, for abqut an hour last evening, an amusing scene of uproar and confusion. About three o'clock the bells struck up an alarm for fire, and as usual on such occasions, a large por tion of the population were soon astir. The engines trundled along the streets the pave ments rung with the rapid tramp of passers by windows flew up and night caps popped out with enquiring gaze persons half clad were seen making astronomical observaations through the scuttles of houses; but not a ray of lignt illuminated the blue vault to show where the dread destroyer had fastened his fangs. Still the bells rung away for dear life some in tones heavv and others in a shrill treble that would have shamed a young frogn spring time. . Bntjnotwithstanding the confusion of sounds not a speck of smoke appeared. The watch men stood on the corners, as wise as the rest, "with not a smell of fire upon theirgarments:" and returned a most decided "1 don't know," to the many inquiries addressed them. They could throw no light upon the subject. Finally lt.entered the brain ol some genius to make such an unmerciful clatter, and upon proceed ing to one ot the principle churches he found the sexton half dressed, tussing awav at the alarm ropeand fastaslee'p! The responsibilities of bell ringing had weighed so heavily on his mind that he had risen from his sleep and open ed tne oawi in which so many were called forth at so unreasonable an hour to partici pate.

' "Father looked v ver his specs at me, so I dassened laugh; but as soon as I could get out 1 streaked it for the mill pond, where a lt on us had agreed to meet 'cause we were planin' a fight with the 'choakies.' As soon as I told 'em the news, they sot up a whoorah! and then we all concluded to go to the funeral jest for the fun of it. So we fixed ourselves up with rope yarnsfor mournin' weeds, and then march ed off in a body for the house. When we got there 'twas all still no carriage or hearse, nor nothin' we didn't know whether we was too early or too late. So we consulted, and finally agreed that we'd make as though we didn't know he was dead, and I should go to the door and ask after the health of the 'tamel old dragon. So up.I marched as bold as a sheep, and pulled the bell, and, th moderation!. who should come to the door, but old Master ; Whipple, himself! I was so dumbfounded, somehow, that 1 blun dered right out. 'Why why we thought you was dead, Master Whipple, and so' we come to the funeral.' With that the boys sot up a reg'lar yell, and pulled foot, and I legged it arter 'em, like all creation. I run straight home and searched the newspaper all over, and there wasn't the least sign of any sech death in it. It was a hoax of dud's. ' Now wasn't that blamnation cruel? Next week old cross bones came into school again." . "What did he say to you then, Dick?" "Say! , Why I don't want to say anything peticklar about that; but some of us did ketch it, I reckon.
