It is a well known fact that the ittdies are ullovved by the conventional rules of society and common coasent, to take the lead oi the men every ieap year and 1! they feel disposed tu o so I ar as to 'j»Oji' the question,' \«it|itut being considered rude or forward. Although the right and privilege is conceded to the ladies, we seldom hear uf ihrm taking advantage oi iL However, cno ease, in whicli th lady did avad iierseli of the privileges of leap year, did occur 111 St. Lojis on Now Year s day. We will relate tiie partic ulars, but not give the real names, lor the roaaon that the parlies are residents of this city, and in it not relish the idea ol hiring the privacy ol ih *ir doaiestic affairs biought b.-lore ti e people. There is a curiam lashio.-iable boarding iiou,* 1:1 this city, (we w.ll locate it ou .'W street) where a veiy hand&oine ottug widow tvas urdinf. i his lady we will call i low Cheerly, who has a fortune of some S3),f)i)0, left l.er by her dtccascd husband, and no children. Three young clerks, (w« will call tlietn Si 111111, brown and Jones) who formerly boarded at liiis Loirdiug house, called upon the iaadlady on New Year's cay. The widow Cheerly was in the room, saw the young gents approaching. She immediately -dre aed lmr-se'f in her bridal array,' cilied tae landlady, and tn* quired the names ol the young ^etits. The landlady smiled im 1 eduleusly and then went down to t!ie parlor to receive her visitors. Tub 0©-, v k i i i s E A i I N E A N E i s u LAND AGENTS.

The young man blushed, and was very much confused at hearing the question from a lady ho had never before seen, but h* finally succeeded in stammering out: •Owing lo the shortness of our ac quaintance,(very abort,having never seen the lady belore,)and auother per?on hav ing some sligh'. claim* upon my affections, you will pluse excuse me.' •Certainly,' said the widow 'I will with pleasure, as I did not notice this gentle man,' addressing Mr. Brown, 'before 1 speke to you, or else I would have pro posed tu him first. Will you marry me, Mr. lkown*' 'I will,' said Brown, 'the ico is now broken. I would not have mustered cou- age enough to pjp the ques'iou but as you have takrn advantage of leap year, and removed the stumbling block, i will become your husband just as soon as you piease.' •Right oT,' remarked the widow. •LanJlady, you will please send fortny bonuet aud other out-door wearing ap parel.' The necessary articles were brought, and Brown, with his intended iiingiug gracefully 011 his arm, started for the res idence of the pastor of the boatman's church. When the minister was about 10 unite the couple in the bands of mat rimony, they gave inra their names, and each heard the others name lor the first time. Everything went un us 'irieiry as a marriage bell' with the uew married couple all that day. 2se\t morning, when Brown awoke, the effects of the numerous drinks al the day previous having now entirely worn off, he began to reilect. He became se rious. He thought lie was in a bad scrape of employment, in thu middle of wiuter, v. ry liule money, and a wife to depend on hitu for support. While re volving the subject tn his mind, »nd not able to decide what he had belter da mn off or commit suicide —hu wife awoke. •My dear,1 said she, 'have you aay ob jection to collecting a few bill*?" He statted, thinking that she supposed ho had soma money coming to him, to col jlect, a little money lor her benefit and muttered rather surly. •No I have no obj eat ions to collecting money when there is any coming to me.' 'I don't mean that, my dear. Get up ar go to my bureau, dear, then! you will find bills to the amount of S00 for rents due mo for the mouth you wdl please collect them, and accept the money from me as a New Years gilt. Brown leaped from the bed, scarcely believing his senses, that he had distinct ly understood his wife, and tben rushed to the bureau and there fjuud the bills. Wheu he last saw Brown he was out collecting his bills--found it u very eusy job—aud beard him expatiating upou tha benefits of matrtmony.--A*- Louis ilwuld. IOWA-SATMIUY, Total Daitruciioii of Covent Girden Tbeatre daring BaI MMqae. The Royal Italian Opera Hou«« was totally destroyed t»y Arc. Not any pot tii.n, either o( the lntenor or tftc proper ties has been sav«J, and nothing but the tare outer valis remain of that magnifi cent tfinpiftt wfeuli, under the tnana^«« rrnwit ol Mr. Frederick Gjre, had become sing. It had always been Intetwled to re-em- sou o! 19r6, and the lessee* bad con^e-j qufnily enormously heavy penseS provide for. The house Was therelf e let to Mr. Anderson fcr the p^rf'vrsnfince of legerdemain and pantonnne, at a ren tal of £'?,0'Jt, and alter a reason of six weeks' deration, the W zard.with a view to re-imburse some of the losses he had incurred, announced?* 'carnival benefit,' lo extend over two days, after a fashion loo prevalent in America, terminating 'w:th*6o/ misqw on Tuesday night.— .Mr. Gye .whose personal ?op?rintetidence o! the theatre 1ms always be-n laudably aiixio«3,va3 lti Paris wh tnent appeared, but th came known to him, Le put his veto upou it, and forbade Mr. Aaderstn to open the theatre lor a masquerade. An earnest appeal was made to Mr. (lye to reconsi der Lis decision on the poiu1 and it js understood, chiefly on aeount of thw re verses attending Mr. A derson'a specu lation, he consented to do so. In sn un lortu.iale moment he give an uuwilling |ermis«ion »r the masque to take pla:a, and. whie tiiis rovel uas proceeding,the talamiiy occurred which has robbed the mu'ieal world of its brightest shtine, and Lo id on of one ol its uiost magnificeat aiciiiiectuial oriiiiineuts. The value of tiie properties destroyed is something fabulous. An approximate estimate may be formed from the fact that in mounting tiie several operas in lamed 111 the repcrioin of this theatre, when under the niatngf iiu'nt oi Mr. L)e lafieid, no less Uan JL6U,000 was expen se 1, oi which the lour opeias ol the •rrop!)e.te,' the 'HugueooU,' 'Lucrezia Borgia,' and *La Djnna del Lago,' cost i^o.OOO. 1'hc valuable dramatic library belongc ing to the theatre—unique ol its kiwi—is gone iu the aen^ral wreck. The origi nal mantis ripts of the 'Sciioul for Scan dal,' the 'Miller and hi* Men,' the ope ra ol the 'Slave,' and hundreds of other cuiious worki, weiejpre preserved. Tne armory, eonsistinE of more than 100 its, a id occupying a series of 0 ns' is wholly destroyed. Iu fact, no buig is spired. Four It has been stated that the bui!dinp self was uninsui'ed. This is too true,atnl the loss will be terrible to tho«e proprie tais who hold a large uuaibor uf «ksM'^s. -JT. V. Times, This is a resolution wiic'i 9hows the existence of a spirit of moderation ia the Cabinet at Washington, for which, after our experience of its recent conduct as regards Great Britain, we had not beeu altogether prepared. So much for the Steps taken with regard to the Sound Dues on the otber side of the Allautic. The United States are open to conviction, auil, instead of forcing the Sound Dues under the batteries ot Cronburg on the 14ih of April, they are content lo wait til! the 15lh of June, in the hope that the quarrel 011 which they have entered with very small piovocation, the whole amouut ul dues paid by American vessels being, we believe, £4,000 may be diplomatic ally settled. Obt Ordtr$.-—K brave v«lef*A otli cer, reooni.oitering a battery during tne Mexican war, which was considered im pregnable, and which it wus neve«sary to storm, ironically answered the engineers who were endeavoring to dissuade him 1 from the aJtempt: 'Gentlemen, you may 1 tliinU n nd say what you pieasu—a 'know is, that the Amori an fla eaJrioli 01 bri'4,nor ig- itnl p.cures, by Hogarth, representing the seasons, wu.p'i hung upjn the walls of Mr. Gye'j private ro m, within only a f.-w pices of tiie box-otfice, »u!d not be 5 ivcd, so rapid was the progress ol the Hames V Prom tfte f.•vf'-t-i Ttefs, Danish Sound Dues-Payment to Con inuei Two rioaths Lo.ijfer. of Since we last called tiie attention our readers tu the question of the Sound Dues, two -tcps have been taken on either side of the Atlantic which will pro'ahlv materially facilitate thu adjustment of the difficulty now pending between Denmark and the Unite! Sales. It will be re membered that the treaty between those Countries whicli regulates the duties to be levied at Eliinore expires on tise 11th of April next, and that the United States possession of bad declared that they would permit no sue!) dues to be paid ly Ame:i aa vessel* passing the Sound after that day. As the 14th of April is fast approach ing, the friends of pe co throughout tiie world beheld with some anxiety the pos sibility ol a collision whica might again involve Europe in the calamines ol war fur it was well kuovn that the Danish government was resolved to maintain by force, rigiits which have existed for so many centuries, which have been ratified by so many treaties, and on which loans contracted by Denmark in foreigu coun tries have been solemnly guaranteed. We learn therefore with no small satis faeti ti from Washington thai the Amer ican government has determined to pro long the obligations of the treity, ist about to expire, for a further term of twe months, that is to say, until the 14th of Juno, 011 the express understanding that something will be done in the meantime towards the abolition of the Sound dues.

A portentioui story is at the pre»nt mo acnt pricing from month to inn«th, and meets with some degree of credence. It is confidently stated that a plot ha, been discovered, having for its object the placing of Canada under the banner o! the stars and stripes, and that a number of meji holding high office in this coun try are implicated 111 it.
