Hi. incr often met Mrs. Pink in society, 1 theuht her the neatest woman in crea-ti,-.n; and probably should have always . thoht so if I had not. very strangely, had access to her house. For once, when I had priisod the good woman, a mischievous jr;r! whispered loud enough to be heard (exactly as if she was trying to keep it secret, ca-.nirjj rcgue!) "be ought to see her at Lo'ne. if he wants to know what neatness ;s " This ran in my head, and stirred up a host of busy fancies, and wondering tUnich". ' "Well, I do wish I could sli p ' in s-iiaDtime, unexpectedly, and see if this tV.r is a pretty piece ot domestic imVh knows whit is before him? My wishes were ratirieJ. For that very night, I d earned; and Mrs. Pink was the heroina tf inv dream. By that amazing power given unto ilreains, I found myself the husband r.f Mrs. Pink the very Mr. Pink himself.

I earnestly recommend that a deputation of the Legislature of your State should pay . visit to that very extraordinary institution. I will not attempt to describe it. but the lodging cells are worse beyond all comparison than any cells I ever saw allotted to human creatures. They are horrib'y disgusting, filthy awl wretched. The new Prison is not so nearly finished as I had been led to suppose. Here they have made very serious mistakes. The work shops, except that for working Hemp, are good; but the cells are small, badly built, and not venHllated. TV - t . . 1 1

(&-Moral Affinities. Chemists inform us that the union cf particles, of which matter ik composed, is owing entirely to whit in that science is called afiinity. For instance, in dying, ..without an afiinity between the substance to be dyed and the coloring material, the dye will not take.

There is an analogy to this theory in the

moral world. "Evil commiinications"'eays Euripides, (quoted by St. Paul.) "corrupt good manners." They do eo because a latent principle of evil is often drawn out by the presence ofa kindred qoslity in another. If this be correct, the maxim is susceptible of 6orae qualifications, for where the supposed affinities are not found, there will be rt-pulsion instead of cohesion, and

the virtuous .vli escape contamination. It is plea.ant aUo to reflect that this theory includes the converse maxim, viz.-"that virtuous communications promote good manners," and coupled with the belief that there is no nature wholly destitute of some redeeming qualities which favorable circumstances may draw and strengthen, hope may be entertained for all, and thy who really believe in the attracting beauty, as well as in the varied and inherent excellence or the gooJness they commend, may find great encouragement to continuo their efforts to extend the possession of the qualities they reverence.

It appeared that no clergyman or minister of the law officiated at the marriage ceremony, but that lhe patties acknowledged themselves man and wife in the presence of witnesses. This, Judge Sargent decided lo be legal marriage, and ordered the hus

Why drag in the system of Internal Improvements in debating a private claim, unless to subserve some ulterior object? He viewed his remarks as to the effrontery of members as evincing the same quality in himsell; for all men on lhat floor were equals, and had a right to speak freely and fearlessly on all subjects in which the interests of the Slate, or their immediate constituents were involved.

'inffton correspondent of the Boston Post,

Mr. Dowling rose to explain his position as a member of the committee, and regretted the digressions which were made by the speakers who had preceded. In former years he had advocated the claims of Mr. Hendricks, because he believed his claims were just. Not so w ith lhe present claim, which, he conceived, had nothing to stand upon. The committee listened with patience to all his evidence, and deferred making a report uniii he scared up all his witnesses; and when he brought them forward, the gentleman from Greene was not present. The engineer testified as to the mistake, and sai 1 if there was any mistake he believed it was made by Mr. Hendricks himself. He would not vote for th bill before the House even if he believed Mr. H. had a just and equitable claim, as it mpowered three commissioners to legislate money out of the Slate Treasury into Mr. Hendricks' pockel. This was not the way the sworn Representaiives of the people should do. When he first went

upon lhe committee he wa favorably disposed towards the claim, but further investigation convinced him it was entirely unfounded.
