man who is a good father and an affectionate r
husband, can be at heart, a Nero, I do not
believe.

The very nature of the government of
Russia (and the people of that couptry are
not vet fit for any other,) renders it inevi-
table, that there will be many abuses—-abu-
ses, which, if all the functionaries of the
government had the patriotism of the Em-
peror, would not exist, or would, at all
events, be incomparuhly less than they are.

There was one part of the ceremony,
which was very striking, and which I have
never seen in any excepting that of the
Greek Church. It is this: the ofliciziting
priestplaced in the hands of the Prince, a
cup filled with wine, into which some bit-
ter drugs had been infused, of which he
drank, and then gave it to the {Princess
She drank of it, and then returned the cup,
to him. This was done three times. It,
signifies that those who enter the married?
state must expect sorrow, as well as joy,‘
and that they must seek support under the

At one point of the ceremony,all kneeled
downiand remained in that position some
time, whilst the priest offered up a prayer
over the heads of the couple whom he was
marrying. It was an impressive and affec-
tin moment.

1- it the close of the marriage-ceremony,
properly so called,the bride and bridegroom
moved from the estrade towards the Em

peror and Empress. And it was delightful
to see with what an affectionate embrace
they were both recived by the parents;
as well as by all the other inembrs of the
Imperial Family, to whom they advanced
in the order in which these persons stood.

When this was done, the Metropolitan
and other great dignitaries of the Greek
Church came forward on the estrade, and

I-have heard-it chanted by many celebrated
choirs. At the close of the service, the
most distinguished of the clergy came for-
ward, and expressed their felicitations and
congratulations to the newly married pair,

other members of the Imperial Family.
This was done in Russian style, in which
there was mutual kissing of hands. That
is, while the priest took the hand of the
Princess, (or Prince, or Emperor, as the
case might be,) and kissed it, she kissed
his. This being over, the Imperial family
retired first from the chapel, followed by
all the rest of the company. The marriage
ceremony, according to the Protestant
manner, took place immediately after, in
one of the large rooms of the palace. it
was- simplc,,set:i.ons and appropriate, but
contained’ nothing worthy of particular
notice. It was performed by Dr. Paufller,
I! very worthy German Protestant divine.

As to the dinner which followed, or the
ball ; or the review, and the visits of con-
gratulation by the great men of the Em-
pire, the next day; or the masquerade
ball at night, &.c., I will not undertake to
speak. -

“’RECK§OF THE STEAMER.
GREAT BRITAIN
Passengers and Crew all Savcd !

For innny days past the public mind has been
intensely anxious respecting the fate of the
st‘eitmsi‘ti=.g;iGi'eat Britain, which was to leave’
Liverpool Sept..‘.2r3d, having on board the Rev_l
Dr. Cox of ‘Brookly.n,.a.nd.mniiy other passen-
gers. The ari-iv'al=of.'tlie-Caledonia at Boston,
has relieved this fearful suspense.

The Great Britain left Liverpool the
day appointed taking 185 passengers,abont
60 tons of valuable fine goods, as freight,
and about the sameflmeasurement of pass.
engers’ luggage. She took her departure,
witnessed by a large concourse of specta-
tors, amid the cheers of congregated thou-
sands and the roan of artillery. After
cliearing t-lie-Bel-llB-.ioy,.sile bore away for
th-.e.:Calf‘of?'Man, with the intention of run-
niiug the north-about passage between the
Isle of Man and Ireland. The morning
was beautiful, the wind was fair, the ship
was in excellent trim, and she had abun-
dant promise of a pleasant and rapid
passage, and that, too, under the command
of an able and experienced captain, who
had most successfully for some years
navigated the Atlantic Ocean, to the
satisfaction of his passengers, the com:
mercial public, and the company by whom
he was employed.

For about ten hours the noble palace of
iron,——the largest perhaps that tenants
the deep,..——was propelled by steam and
windiabtlie-' rate of 12 or 13 knots an hour.
In-fact it may be said that she had _over-

ship, and ' apprehensions were general
amongsts the passengers that the ship
would break up during the night beneath
the force of the hreakerz. which constant-
ly burst over her decks. To add to that
moment of woe, the lightning glared, the
thunder bellowed ‘portentously from 11
thick curtain of overhanging cloud,'a‘nd
the rain began to fall in torrents. llie
scene was one that baffles description. So
far as the eye could. pierce through the
gloom, the sea was a general cauldron of
foam, and the wliitt-‘spray lashing the sides
of the ship, flew over all on board like
snow flakes. As ive said before, the ship
had outsailed the cap,t:iiii’s reckoning ; and
the light on “St. John's Point,” being mis-
taken for that of the ‘_‘.Calf of l\~‘l:in,” she
went ashore at Ratlimulin, in Dundrum
Bay. Throughout the eniergency, Capt.
Hoshen behaved with admirable self pos-
session, energy, nnd with the greatest

struck, went Jlown below, and, liy his as-
suraiices,quieted the excited appi'elierisions
of the passengers. His e'fl,‘o,i'ls_,i;.*-ere stic-

returned to their berths and slept till
morning. Of the captain and ship the

passengers speak in the highest terms.—— .

The ship, previously to her striking, dis-
played in the gale the most adiniral.le
qualities as a sea boat; and the captain,
subsequently to tl'int__occurrc.nc.e, acted as
well as man could act, placed in a situation
such as his. v

The passengers, one hundred and ei_glttv
five in number, were all"safely landed.
The news of this disaster reached Down
patrick and the surrounding neigliborliood
early on the following morning, ‘and the

ed with vehicles of every grnd_e, from the
noblemaii’s carrialgejto the pe'asant’s cart.
The wlio'e of ilieday was employed in
landing the passenger's luggage, which
was done with the aid of:-“mall boats, carts,
&c. all of which was conveyed to Down-
patrick: and from that place the passer.-
gers proceeded in carriages and ’ja__iinting
cars, to Belfast and Warren |’oi'nt, wlie.rc
they took passage for Liverpool. ‘ "

Among the passengers were theiiD.'in-
senses Viennoises, 4-8 in number; they
are all Germans but two, one of these. is
French and the other._English. From their
extreirie youth, the eldest beingnot more
than twelve years old, and the younger
about six, the greatest sympathy and care
was evinced for these little travellers.»-
Tliey appeared quite unconscious of their
situation. There were four adult females
accompanying them, one of.~whom stated
that they had an engagement on their
arrival in New York of fifteen hundred
dollars a week. _During the day, .tlic
steamer Prince of \V'ales went round from
Belfast to render the Great Britain assis-
tance; that was tried at high ivater and
found to be impossible; she, therefore,
returned to Belfast, taking them and their
guardians to that city on their way back

There had been large sales of Cotton,
and prices if ariytliing, were a shade high-

Troubles in Imlia.

The intelligence from lridia indicates a
very unsettled state of public affairs. The
British autliorities, in anticipation of a
convulsion in ,tli_e_Sik'h territory, were busy
in preparing for-.?".=_~ :.i;e.jgency, and put-
ting down the expected revolt. _ _

. A serious disturbance had broken out in
Canton between the Cliinamcn and the
foreigners. The former attacked the
latter with stories and were repulsed by
being fired upon, and several were killed.
Quiet was restored.

The New Yoik Comniercial, in speculating
upon the Mexican war, says if we are going to
make the Mexicans pay our expenses, we are
rolling up a heavy debt.

“If we adhere (it says) to the principle
of making the Mexicans eventually reim-
burse all our expenses, wi li territory if
not with money, the upshot of it will be
that we shall have to keep on firrliting uti-
til all their territory is ours. fhey are
running in debt to us at a rate which will
soon use up all they are worth in the
world. When we come to foreclose the
mortgage the equity of redemption will
not be worth a farthing, even if they have
anything to redeem with.”
