ted a divorce, and Gen. Jackson married
the lady.
Mrs. Jackson was a good and very
pious woman, bnt exceedingly illiterate.—
She possessed none of the graces that
adorn fashionable life, but was beloved by
her husband with a matchless devotion.—
She was the only being on earth who
could control his iron will and fierce in
domitable temperament.
Births Extraordinary. —Mrs! Mooré, of

adelphia, was, on Thursday, delivered of
four children!—all boys, of good and
regular size. The third one was bom
dead, but the rest are lively and hearty.
Her age is twenty-nine—that of her
husband twenty-one, and they have been
married less than a year. The lady was
formerly married to a Mr; Bell; she pre
sented him, first with two little Bells;
second, with one; and third, with three.
Of this flock, three bave died. More than
five hundred people, mostly women, visi

dreds, perhaps we might say thousands;
have flowed thitherto see them; A conse

of the destitute condition of the family
and an active charity in its Ibebalfi No
sooner was it hinted that the mother was
not provided with suitable covering for
so large an addition to her family than
females from all parts of the district hur
ried to her relief, and soon the little ones
were supplied with clothing sufficient to
last them for years. The scene presented
was a touching one for charity, and, to
the credit of human nature, it has been
liberally responded to; Almost every
visiter gave something in money or ne
cessaries, and some who had merely lis
tened to a recital of the particulars of this
wonderful freak of nature, and thepoverty
of the parents, bave been moved, as well to
mark tbe event as to relieve privations, to

Interesting from California. —A des
patch to the N. Y. Journal of Commerce,
dated Boston/ May 18, furnishes tbe fol

Francisco, March the 12th:
There are at present twenty-eight sait
of vessels in port, among which is the
bark Tasso from Valparaiso, which is
the only American vessel, the rest being
all foregners. Emigration to the mines
has commenced, and the number there
from Valparaiso is not far short of 3500
and from Talcahuana 500. It is thought
that the steamship California, which has
now been lying deserted for some time,
will be able to get away by, or on tbe

A Royal Rmanct. —At the grand and
brilliant ball given by Prince Schwartz
enberg, the Auarian Ambassador at Paris,
in the year lijlO, in celebration of the
marriage of Napoleon with Maria Louisa,
at which the Eoperorand many illustrious
persons were present, it is well known
that a most destructive fire broke out in
one of the tonporary buildings erected
for the occa8i (Ti, by which the young and
beautiful hostess and several other persons
were burned b death, and many seriously
injured. One if the visiters at this ball was
the then Dovager Duchess of Savoy»Ca
rignan.mothir of Charles Albert, ex-King
of Sardinia. This lady prevented by the
great confuspn from getttngoutin time,
found herself in one of tbe saloons burn
ing on all sitfes. When in this most perilous
situation, aid almost suffocated, she was
acèidntally iiscovered by her courier, who
resolutely rished through the flames into
the room; look his mistress in his arms
and jumpqi from a window on the first
floor to theground. By this heroic conduct
he broke loth his legs, but the Duchess
was unbuf. Her life being thus miracu
lously savtd through the courage of her
courier, ate of course paid him all possible
care and ittention during his illness, and
when he Hid recovered from his accident
she marriid bim. He received afterward
from somi Italian Prince the title of Count
Montelari and ever since they have been
living tojpthcr, but not happily, in vari

Benedct Arnold's Sons. —At the time
Gen. Arnold, the Amercan traitor, mar

was a wdower, and had two sons (boys)

They «ere not long since officers in the
British service-—one in India and the
other iij the West Indies.
Break of Promise of Marriage. —The
Kingsun (Canada) Whig contains tbe
particulars of a law suit,Miss Mary White

again« Rev Thos. L. Davidson Baptist
preacher in Pickering. Davidson had pro
posed to marry her in 1845, bad written
her in the most affectionate style as his
betrothed. "Faithful to you I will be, so
help tie God!" In 1847 he repeated his
vows; but that year a Miss Winter« whose
father bad money, and wbo is handsome,
took bis attention, and he married her.
Judge McLean charged the jury, the
reverend pastor made no defence and the
verdict was for the lady, $1000 and costs.
West Indits and Venezuela, —The
British steamship Thames arrived at New
York on Saturday, I2th inst, from St.
Thomas the 4th and Bermuda the 8th inst.
The U. S. ship Germautown was in tbe
port of St Thomas. Letters received by
the Thames from Laguayra, tbe 23d ult.,

Free Blacks at the North. —The sub
joined, which we find in a late number
of the Richmond Republican, gives a
graphic picture of the depressed condi"
tion of free blacks at the North:
Frederick Douglass, a black man who
addressed a late anti-slavery meeting in
New York, draws the following picture of
the condition of the blacks, which clearly
shows that their freedom in tbe Northern
States is but nominal and a humbug.
"We are," says Douglass, "not only a
proscribed people—a despised people—a
condemned people—an insulted people—
but an outraged people—weighed down
under greater oppression than any other
people. Everywhere we are treated as a
degraded people. If we go to the church
we are despised there, and made to take
an obscure place, though the preachcr
talks of all men being made of one blood*
In the State we are taxed equally with all
other men; we pay for the education of
the whites, but when it comes to rights and
priviliges, we are regarded as so mean and
degraded, that by State enactment we are
not entrusted to carry a mail bag twenty
yards across the street, or even to lift it
off from the top of a stage coach. An
ignorant white man, however, just come
to this country, and totally unacquainted
with our institutions, is, the moment he
lands on our shores, fit to be entrusted
with the mail bags. We are never tried
by our peers, but by our enemies. On
steamboats, in hotels, or in the streets, we
are always reminded that we are a degra
ded people. Our children are driven
away from the schools which we pay to
support We are compelled to be, by po
tent circumstances, hewers of wood and
drawers of water—everywhere outraged,
ill-treated, insulted."
This is a picture of the state of free
blacks in the North, drawn by a runaway
slave. It is slavery in fact without the ad
vantages of slavery—without the kind
ness, without the sympathy, without the
absence of care, without the aid in sick
ness, trouble and old age which slaves in
the South receive.

They don't like their Freedom. —A ne
gro family from Cincinnati, Ohio, says the
Victoria (Texas) Advocate of the 11th inst
passed up this morning in a small wagon,
on their way to the neighborhood of Se
guin. We team that they had been freed
some time since by their master, and have
since been living at Cincinnati. But pre.
fcring slavery to the miserable life of a
free negro at tbe North, they return to ten
quest their old master to take them back
again, and let them live with him. What a
commentary on abolitionism!
Wife of Andrew Jackson. —The fol
lowing little sketch of the wife of Andrew
Jackson, is taken feom the New York
Atlas, which says "there is romance even
among statesmen:"
"Mrs. Jackson, when she married the
General, was Mrs. Roberts, and her hus
band was still living. She bad in her
girlish days been the object of the Gener.
al's idolatry; but "the course of true love
never did run smooth," and the youthful
lovere differed and separated. The lady's
original name was Donelson; she after
wards married a man by the name of Ro
berts, wbo proved to be a profligate, a
brute, a drunkard and a tyrant. He was
in the habit of beating his wife, and of
otherwise treating her with great bra«
tality;
This lamentable state been made known
to Gen. Jackson, he one day called at
Roberts^ house, took her away and plac
ed her lir a position where she would
escape the fiend-like conduct of her bus»
band. Roberts complained tha he was in
jured, and forcibly deprived of his wife's
