There are, however, those who throw a long robe over the shoulders of the bride, instead of putting on the skirt. An angry husband sometimes says to his wife ''Give me back my skirt," meaning he wishes to have the marriage compact dissolved. So the mother-in-law, should the daughter not treat her respectfully, says, "My son gave this woman the koori, skirl, and has made her respectable, but she neglects me." The request of Ruth, therefore, amounted to nothing more than that Boaz should marry her. Roberts' oriental illustrations of the scriptures. From the Chicago American. The Queen Charlotte. This noble vessel anchored at our harbor on Thursday morning last, tier hull, deck, and timbers, are perfectly sound and strong. The shotholes made by the carronades of me American squadron, have been rapaired. She is refitted with new masts the tallest on the lakes with ample rigging,and carries more sail than any vessel upon these waters. Her cabin for the accommodation of passengers is commodious, and adorned with elegant furniture and tirmmings. The re-appearance of the Queen Charlotte, now ridingproudly acrain upon these waters, reminds of the interesting occasion of her going down. She was tbe flag ship of the British squadron, which consisted fsix vessels and sixty-three gun?, and flirt opened a tremendous fire upon the Lawrence, the flagship of commodore Terry's ilect, which consisted of nine vessels and fortyfour guns. The Lawrence sustained the fire of the Queen Charlotte lor ten minutes, before she could bring her carronades to bear, and i i . )" then breastincthe shots of two shin J

But light winds prevented, and for two "hours the contest was held, until the Lawrence became unmanageable and broken to pieces; and her crew, except four or five, were killed or wounded. "While thus surrounded, with death and destruction still pouring upon him, Perry kit the brig, now only a wreck, in an open boat, and heroically waving his sword, passed unhurt to the Niagara ot 20 guns. The wind now rose. Ordering every canvass to bespread, he bore down upon the enemy; passing the enemy's vessels. De troit, Queen Chorlotte, and Lady Provost, on the one side, and the Chippewa and Little Belt on the other, into each of which he poured a broadside, he at length enaed the Lady Provost, which received so heavy a fire as to compel her men to retire below. The remainder of the American squadron,nov one after another, arrived, and following the example of their intrepid leader, closed in with the enemy, and the battle became general. Three hours finished the contest, and enabled Perry to announce to gen. Harrison the capture of the whole squadron, which he did in this modest, laconic, and emphatic style: 'We have met the enemy,and they are ours.'

OPENING of the RAILROAD

Yesterday was a great day on the new railroad between Baltimore and Washington,being the first day of its being opened for travel all the way from the depot at Baltimore to the foot of Capitol Hill in this city. It was a glorious sight to see four trains of cars, with each its engine, extending altogether several hundred yards in length, making their entry by this new route, to the delight of thousands of speclatators on the elevated grounds directly north of the capitol. These cars, besides bringing back our own mayor and members of the corporation,and city guests, who went out to meet them, brought as manv ladies and gentlemen of Baltimore as made up the whole number of about a thousand persons carried by the cars. These, accompanied by two bands of music, after debarking, marched in procession toGadshy's and Brown's hotels, at both of which sumptuous and bounteous entertainment was provided, -.nd liberally partaken ok The cars arrived at a little before one o'clock, and at four our friends from Baltimore reembarked, and returned to their homes, without,we trust, any accident or other inconvenience than what was occasioned by the dust on the toads and streets. A at tonal Intelligencer, Au From the Pittsburgh A?n. Manufacturer. DISGRACEFUL ILLIBERALITY. A public meeting was recently held in the city of New York for the purpose of obtaining an expression of opinion against foreigners of every description. Among the proceedings we notice the two following resolutions: "Resolved, That we can not, and will not support any man for office, whatever his politics may be, who is not a native citizen of the United States. "Resolved, That we deem a re'".in iu uur naturalization laws as i-,;m. .. . . and nernetuitv of our frno inciim . J IHOtllU" Hons. " Without this evidence of the fact we could not have thought it possisible that so much disgraceful illih. erahty existed in any part of the U1 T . . TTTI imeu Elates, what! disfranchise foreigners, simply because they are foreigners? If such had been the principles of Americans, at the period of the revolution, where now would be our boasted and glorious republic? The very independence and liberty that are guaranteed by the constitutionof this republic were mainly established by foreigners, whom this meeting would now deprive of the rights of citizenship. Shame! shame!' on such infamous doctrines, unfit for any place, but most of all unfit for republican America. What! disfranchise him who is a citizen bv choW? wl, prefers this country on account of us republican institutions to his own his native land and who, in flying to it, possibly leaves all behind him that the heart yearns for by naturehome and kindred thru may breathe the pure atmosphere of "tcuulll-c y wnat rule ol justice, we would like to know, should a preference over such men be given even to native citizens? The citizen by choice has merit in his citizenship, for he hn oin evidence, in becoming a citizen of our country, that he is from principle attached to our republican institutions, but the citizen by birth has no merit whatever in the fact of his citizenship, for he had no control over it: with him iiis accidentalwith the foreigner it is a matter of his judgment and of his principles. Away then, forever, with this vile cant about the danger to be. apprehended from foreigners! it is disgraceful to the name of Americans, who should hold their country forth as an asylum for the oppressed ot all nations, and who shnnTrl k of friendship all who may choose to . 1 v' iy niw m -v i , . .

young Scotch ladv removed to the west, will give our readers some idea of the astonishing prosperity of that section of our fair country: "Since my husband and self, with our cow, sow, dog, and cat, came to this part, we have been highly prosperous; our pig has increased five fold, our cat six fold, our dog three fold, our cow has a beautiful little companion; and though last, not least in our affection, I have presented my husband with a fine son, a little yankee, of whom he is not a little proud. Our family now number 22, which increase is the fruit of barely twelve months! Isn't this a country to prosper in? We are all doing well." PENNSYLVANIA. It is the impression of many that the cause of general Harrison, in Pennsylvania, is identified with that of Mr. Rimer. This is a mistake which had better be corrected in time. Gen. Harrison is supported by no party exclusively, but by men of all parties. Nor is Mr. Ritner the whig candidate for governor, as he is sometimes called. Although all who support him may be set down certainly as against Van Buren, yet he can not get, by thousands, the entire ami Van Buren vote. The whigs,as a partv, have no candidate for governor. In the convention which nominated Mr. Ritner, an efiort was made to unite the opponents of exeecutive misrule, under a common name and that of whig was suggested, or any other. Itvas resisted, however, by the anti-masons. As one of their papers (Gettysburg Star, the mouth piece of the great Matthias of the antimasonic imposture, Thad. Stevens,) says, they distinctly declared "that they would do 'nothing which, either professedly 4 or by its operation, could tend to 4 merge their party or their princi4 pies, in any other party, fbr any 4 purpose that while they believe 4 the late lawless acts of Jackson to 4 be alarming, yet they hold mason4 ry to be the paramount evil! that ' they would never surrender their 4 own organization and distinctive 4 principles," &c. And further, the same paper, since the convention, in reference to that matter, has tauntingly remarked: "In this, the antimasons make no sacrifice for they vote their own ticket only. Whether any other parties have, evidently alluding to the national republicans! they best know." WTith what propriety, then, can Mr. Ritner, who is himself an antimason, be called the whig candidate? And what reason is there to expect that he can get any thin hke the entire ami Van Buren vote of the state? The thing is preposterous. Thousands there are who nevercan be brought toaid in bringing into power a party so selfish, so intolerant, and nrosmntivn T1!., ' ' J- liUUsands of them, we are satisfied, will vote for Mr. Wolf. But, besides all this, what will those who, in this state, are for measuring Harrison's popularity in Pennsylvania by Rimer's, make of iuu icicis, uiai me Harrison meetings have been attended by all parties that atone place we hear nf.n Mnh. lenburg paper (Gettysburg PeoVv t liefeS) SUOnomncr frnnnml Harrison--and, in another part of uiu state, wc see a Wolf paper f Northern Banner rfprT.nrmrr tKn. - J .Ullll .Hill "if gov.

She brings us papers to the 12th of July. Much attention had been given in Par13 lu smi ornciai account, that the entrance to the Black Sea had been refused to a French vessel, having a government messenger on board, on the ground that by treaty, Russia had the exclusive privilege of navigating that sea. An English vessel, having on board a British envoy to the Court of Trebesond, has also been refused a passage. What rnn.Ws th.V affair of more importance in the eves of uiu rraica politicians, is, that on the 17th June only, Lord Palmerston being interragatcd in the House of Commonson the secret clauses of the treaty of Adrianople, replied, that he had no knowledge Of any such secret clauses; but that if there were any, England would not recognize them. From the Cincinnati Gazette CEN. HARRISON. Since the name of this distinguished individual was first announced for the Presidency, it has been hailed with an enthusiasm among the people; as deserved as it is unexpected and appalling to the Van Buren party. His popularity is not of lint forced character, which distinguishes the nominee of the Baltimore Convention, lie has not to rely on the fame of other successful civilians, to carry him along, as does Mr. Van Buren on that ot Gen. Jackson. His own deeds, and achievements, are recorded in the hearts of his countrymen. It is they who call htm to preside over the councils of the nation; and it is the free, spontaneous voice of freemen, untrammeled by caucuses and office-holders' dictation, that will succeed in elevating him to a station which he is eminently q ithfied for, by education and republican principle. The best evidence that can Le furnished of Gen. Harrison's popularity with the commun-

ity, is the character of his supporters Thev are composed of what Mr. Van Buren once termed the "hurra boys,1' the real bone and

"In all your intci course with them, hovev-. cr, I would thank you to impress upon them the necessity of an immediate and entire removal. No other course remains, promising sugii.esi cnance ot eventual provement, or even of existence." The following is from the Sessex Register in A. Jersey, which has the name of John M' Lean over its editorial head. He is right as to the General's prospects. Gex. HAErusoN-.-The Cincinnati VThiV is authorized by Gen. Harrison to say "thai if it can be clearly ascertained that Mr. Webster, or any other whig, is stronger than himself, that he will not stand one moment in. the way and that he would in such an event cheerf ully act as a w hig elector." This annunciation is proper and to thepoint. And as it is doubtless made to draw out an expression of public sentiment, we: for one, cannot hesitate to say, as the result of our observation, that we deem General Harrison by far the strongest candidate befW the people. Could we shut our eyes to thewarm gush of enthusiasm ination is haded ,n the western, middle, and southern states - could we reject the evidences w hich the mail brings of his rapidly mcrea mg popularity and mow il. ,11 . - , - ....... ull tuuiu ve brmg ourselves to believe that he is unworthy .umioei.ee ot the people; then indeed might we entertain a contrary oninion.

Iho manner in which gen.

There alsoannears he a growing conviction o! the expediency, and willingness to sur render up private attachments in view ot the common rrood. P,;;
