A marriage took plaoe in Grace Cburob on Monday last, that baa excited no little interest in fofehionable circles and caused quite a fluttering among certain wealthy families. It seems the bride is nil heiress, and worth in i her own right $250,000. She was the inmate of one of our most exclusive female seminaries,and is but fourteen years and eight months old._ Ifer wealth and the high position of her family were of course known to her associates i and heir acquaintance was consequently cour- I ted. Among the gentleman she was introduced to was S K , a well known ! habitue of Fifth avenue saloons, but who bad reaciwtl.tfie inaturo ago of thirty-ona year*.— The acquaintance ripened into intimacy aud eventually the parties became engaged to be married ; but as the parents might interpose an objection, it was arranged that it should take place unknown to them or any of tbe yoojng lady s frtehds. It was agreed that the ',alW even.t should come off last Saturday, • (St. Valentino's day,) and tho church was opened,the minister ready, and a few spectators had also assembled to witness the marriage ceremony, which was announced for 11 A. 5l. But noon came and went, and no bride made her appearance, and the church was closed. It seems that the principal of tbe seminary in which the young lady was a pupil got wind that something unusual was on the (apis aud she locked tho would-be bride in her room, and so prevented the fulfilment of her engagement. But "kDve laaghs at locksmiths,''and by some means Mr. K——— was notified of the situation of affairs, and arranged matters in such a manner that the yourtg lady escaped from surveillance, and the couple were duly married in one of our most fashionable up town churches on tbe 15th inst. The bride and bridegroom immediately started for Washington, and intend to spend the honeymoon on a Southern tour. This pleasant little affair has created quite an excitement among the young ladies in upper tendom, and is to them far more interesting than tbe Bond street tragedy.

Now, tell me, for the love ol Dixl, is he here?" " 1 guess not, marm ; I don't *6e his name in the tile." He mumbled over to himself alist of names 'John Jones, Jane 7th, five years for barnturning; James Smith, alias Simpson, July st, two years fur housebreaking," and so on hrough the year all the committments of the light years from the date of his present pcnkiii£. No Willie Byron there, though the mother istened with ho much anxiety and desire to atch his name in that dark list, as onee she vould to have heard his fame. Bending forward to take every muttered one in hor ears, the absence of the one she ought fell on her heart like a want. Slie begged the keeper to let her go through he prisou—" It may be he has changed his lame, and will know the voice of his poor old nother." The man could not refuse, rough-hearted a* ic was, and soon his lantern was lighted, and aking a huge bunch of keys from an iron nfc, proceeded to lead the way. The aged mother noticed her companion no ongor; hor old oyes glistened, her step was lot now so faltoring, as she followed on with tiopo in her heart, though often so sorely dis»ppointed."O, Willie 1" she cried, m she entered among the oells, " will you hear the voice of your poor mother, and speak to me if you are licro V' 8o from ccll to cell she went., uttering with tremulous voice, "Willie Byron 1 are you herel You needn't shame to be known. The world may say what it will, but your mother loves you still." Old mon wept to hear her ; tho icy fountains of their tears bnrst, and found vent through the head as the ftUtilor Vuung men bid ibeir beads to think of their own mother*, forsaken and lett to slianio and sorrow. But no answer came to givo her heart its long and sole desire. Through all tho passes of tho prisou she went, all that the light of day could visit; and now the iron door of the great dungeon lets them in. She shuddered as the clanking door fell back, to think it possible to find her ling there. Tho lantern was raised to the grates, as each prisoner was called forward to receive the scrutiny of those tear-wet eyes. "Oh Willie, Willie Byron, are you here in this dark place? if you hear meD Willie, it's your poor old mother that speaks, and youH answer me for t|10 memory of the time when you were a little child. O, Willie Byron, are you here j speak for the love of your mother, who loves you whatsoever you havo done ; let. me see you once more! OOod, let me see him onC? before I die!" turned from disappointment after dis"PPoititment, hor wrinkled face to heaven, n,ld prayed God to help her. The hard, rough keeper, stood flied with wnndor, and a touch of the human seemed to vibrate in his bosom, for he stood sullenly 8till and soowled, without fixing his eves anywhere, or moving them—eure mark that such a nature is humanly stirred. He suffered the lantern to be taken from his hand by the poor mother, whose strong* words thrilled the darkest lairs of crime, and started tears that would never flow but in the dark. Not a doomed felon in that blackest cave of penalty that mocked her, and alas! not one that answered to her darling's name. Another blank in the long annals of her awful search ; and the pCxDr struck by another blow, wont farth®1' the open air, to wander—whithor? The jailor continued, " The poor youth lift ■d his pale hands, and smote his breast, exslauning, "0, forbear, forbear ; ray mother, 3, my mother! and turned from the sight oi his tears to hide ny own. That day he consented to let ine more him into another cell, where a little suutight, a little fresh air and the waving of green grass about tho dungeon window, might be some solace to imprisonment. Since then he has been a growing and generous spint. Contrite and houtble, yet not meanly crouching. Ceasing to accuse mankind or himself bitterly, he waits in paticnce for the time of his release. He never told his name. It is not for you to ask. But a few steps now," he said, for they had resumed their walk, "will bring you to his cell." The great door yielded, m its four-fold t.-iple bolts lell back. A little stream of light poured across their path from a cell within.— The great door closed again with a jar, the cell was opened, and the dimmed eyes of tbo grief-bowed and age-bent woman, fell upon a pale, sad faced young man of nhout thirty, who lifted his eyes with a faint as' the keeper of the prison entered, but turned with an instant's gluuce of inquiring wonder ou the changed form before him. It was but for an Instant. The mother then spoke— " Willie, my boy, ia it /on t" "My mother 1" The jailor retreated, leaving mother and son locked in each other's arms. Ask me not how passed the next hour hi that lone cell,— how metnory flooded all the past with tears, how the eight long years of distressful pilgrimage rolled in a moment from that mother's heart, and left no thought there of the erring, and tho lost, but only one deep, glowing, overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy in the penitent found, the darling of that poor old heart so long wearied, and now so blest. That hour passed, and left no cloud between 4k»m i Mid »\ioxt m» &fc was, it itufficed the jailor to do sortie business in, for when he came back he brought the Governor in person to tho celt, with a Ml pardon iii his hand, if ho should find the prisoner worthy; and before another hall hour Willie Byron and his happy mother were on their way home again, where the kind charities of tho good had given her the means to retreat, ana see her son a prosperous farmer in the neighborhood, before she closed her satisfied eyes in death.

CHAPTER I. DR. H. WENTZEL, THE PRISONER. A hut hand, smiting on his vory brain find heart, struck dumb tho wretch before his lips could fushion tho horrible iinprcoatlon. A dew-drop, sweated from his cold cell, struck 011 his check with a rcbuko that it should be dry at tho memory of his mother, and a pale bluo light, a dim phosphorescence from the damp filth of his unused cell, fluttered befure him, as if to hint to the guilty youth how closely he treads upon the brink of hell. Who, in whatever place he may bo, dares to enrse his mother. The youth fell mute on his dungeon floor, and a tender voice—the farewell voice of his mother— seemed to sound in his ours as it had sounded when ho left their jionr home f Dr the great city, "And now Willie, my boy, shun wicked company ; and if evil suggestions come, remember your poor old mother.

Daylight shed its lust sweet beam on that iron door, and ten long years must pass ere it Could bestow another on one of those who walked there then. But not the sunlight parting sadly with him at that door—for it grew f'uiiit to death then— nor tho cold cheer of windowless granite, the dull light of the lantern, nor tho savage faec (more savage in that light) of bis co uiuctor, sent any thrill to tho young felon's heart, or touched it with one now emotion. Anger was in bis scornful face, wrath in his proud heart, wrath in his gcitures and on his blasphemous tongue. GrowL, young tiger! We'll give you a ne3t of granite, and a steel collar and n bod, wliero your tongue may tire before it gets an answer !

Judge Trumbull—I will now road from page 547 of these Reports of the Decision* of the Supreme Court of the United States, what Chief Justice Marshall decided, in the the case of The American Insurance Co. vs. Canter, to wit, that Congress in legislating for the Territories has the combined, power of the General Government and a State Governwent. Could there be anything broader and fuller r I Ittston, Nov. 28, 185C •• Why can't you come in, nnd not stand there fumbling and mumbling?" ■••«•••  Ths Search kor Sir John Fsanki.ix.— Peoplo in England are still bent on looking for Sir John Franklin—discovering ,if not himself, at least his fate. At a meeting of tho Geographical Society, in London, Lieut. Prim K. S., read a paper recummending a further search. He argued that nothing in tho relics found by Dr. Rue showed that any of the men belonging to tho Franklin expedition had perished—none of their bones, or any other evidence to that effect. He believes it very possible that somo of them, at all events, are still alive in the wandering huts of the Eskimos. The missing ships probably reached King William's Land, and to that locality he would direct the renewed search, lie proposed that two smull screw-vessels should be proceeding throngh the 8 Dund, and the other making its wny, eastward, from Behring's Straits, while nt the same time, an overland party would travel north, along the Great Pish River, all bounded for a stated rendezvous. Lieutenant Pm recommends small vessels and small parties, and, especially the emplopment of dogs. Largo parties exhaust provisions, and dogs guard against the delays and losses resulting from sickness among the men. If the camcT is the ship of one desert, the dog may be called the tug of tho other— both indispensable bv tho human wnyfar.TS. No doubt, those Arctic exploring aro not at an end. Ladv Franklin is still bent on the search, and vary probably share* the be li*f of the lieutemiMi that some of tba missing navigators are still in the land of the living. The belief is a reasonable one; and in such a day of enterprise as Mils, when peoplo go round the world, and up and down in it, for far less interesting purposes, no coldnes of feeling, or dullness of curiosity can prevail against the impulse* of friendship aud personal affection. No doubt, the secret of Sir John'* (ate exists among some of the Eskimo tribes, and an affective mode of Inquiry would oblige them to reveal it. ROBERT BAUR, Book-Bixbkr.

The Court was deciding the constitutional power of Congress, and its extent in this very case; and their deliberate declaration uttered by Chief Justice Marshall of Virginia', was that Congress, in pussing laws for a Territory, had not only all the power that the General Government possesses in other legislation, but as an uddition as ample authority as a Stat* Legislature bus within its borders. Will tho Senator from Michigan deny that the Michigan Legislature has full votcer to keep slavery out of that Stale f If it has, then tho United States Supremo Court has decided that Congress have equally ample power to keep slavery out of the Territories. (Jen. Cass attempted no reply to this pointed and unanswerable illustration ; and the Republican Senator* smiled as they saw the Nicholson letter and the ream* of paper that Gen. Cass has spoiled with his profound speeches in the last eight years, all brushed awny by a single decision of the Supremo Court, of wliioh, by the General's own hasty challenge fur its production, he proved that he had been entirely ignorant.

A few steps more brought them to a dungeon where no kind beaut had ever found its way, and no swoet breath could come; a low, cold damp cell, wiih grated openings twice as deep as it was broad, where food could only be taken piecemeal through the bars, the vory turnkey set not hia loot there in his rounds. The cell had long been vacant, and would have remained bo now, but for the spite of the official monarch of this cheerless realm ; for by a little resistance to the chain that was being fastened on his bauds, the prisoner gained, that dark ruler's displeasure, which was vented by thrusting him into this den of night. Mockingly the turnkey thrust the young man in, and beforo loosing his chains from the prisoner's limbs, he raised the lantern to hia laco, with a black grin, as if it were ajoy to gloat over a fellow being's misery. But ho saw something there in the calmness of stern and horrible purpose that made his own dark features ghastly. A rattle of the chain as it fall from his hands told of his terror—another as it arose with the two arms of the desperate youth, and fell with a crash upon the cowardra ahoulder, told what cause he had to fear!

If you don't know whero your boy is, who appears to be an old boy, how should I know f" The weak and wasted old woman dropped into a chair from exhaustion and misery, and with a look of sincere depreciation, whioh neither her faltcrin" nor his rudeness demanded, she said, "I beg your pardon, rir; God knows I would nover come but for the lovo of my poor boy." But what do you know about him ?" asked the jailor, in a subdued tone. 1'en years ago, sir, ho was as good a lad as ever need look at—the only help of hia old mother, for I was old then, sir ; and it is misery, more than years, that makos me so much older now. If there was any fault, sir, it was that he felt too sharply the bite of poverty, and the scorn whioh it will sometimes meet, unjustly ; and I foar that was his hurt." " And he's in prison, eh t" Yes, sir, to the shame of my old grey hairs; but I'll tell you what I know, though it break my heart. Ten. years ago I sent him to the city to try his luck in business; and who he served I can't tell, for he never wrote the name to mo, nor the business; the dear ohild was waiting to surprise me. But at last I heard no more from him, and thought he must hnve died. Searching all the papers 1 could find, I tried t-» get a word of bim, though it were a bail word. I sold the dear boj'i clothes, only I saved the little slip he wore #hen he was a baby. I couldn't bear to part with all, and that was full of doar memories. And for a moment the grief that made her farrulous, melted to tears, and made her umb. The jpilor was silent, and looked sour, which was a sign that he was touched. His hard and flinty heart was softened at the 1 coital of a tale of sorrow from a mother'! lips, who had suffered to many severe trial* while in search of a long son. She eon- Down seven stone stops, topped by that iron door which more than eight years ago' received ft form it had not let pass out, two persons trod; the one a kind, geod-hoarted man, wqo had superceded the cruel keeper of former times in his office; the other an aged woman leaning on his arm. "The man you seek, perhaps, is this way," said the attentive guide. " God bless you, sir. I shall be happy if it proves so, for 1 came to this door near seven years ago, and the man who could not have done less to a robber, would not let hie In hefte, and many and many a mile have I walked by tlio aid of kind charity, only to come back to this place again, and now I am just ready to die if my hope fails here." nl. The prisoners attracted by the light came forward to the windows, and even among the deepest sunk in crime, there shone some human meaning in the glances they bestowed upon their keeper, for b« had sought by kindness to undo the wrangs which hate and the world's scorn with their own dark passions had done to them. " Far ahead is a prisoner. I oould wish, if you will ind your eon, it were he.

Pocket Printing Pbess.—A Bossou paper pays that a young man named Livcrmore, of Ilartland, Vermont has invented a machine fbr printing, whioh, without a figure and literally may be called a pocket printing press, since it may be carried in one's pocket and operated there. The polished steel case whioh contains the apparatus is five inches long, two and a half inches broad, and one and a half inches thick. This contains the type, the ink, the paper and tbe machinery. At one end of t|ie case tire six keys, on which the fingers of the operator play, as on a piano. The types are composed of the sections of a parallelogram crossed by two diagonals. This parallelogram is eut so ingeniously as to represent all the the letters of the alphabet, and in a shape so as to be easily read, in the impression by any person, on presentation. The site Is double English, and the fashion Antique.-r- The impression La like tho page of a book, lines horizontal from left to right. The slip of paper, some yards in length, is on a cylinder, and as fast u printed, is reooived on anether cylinder. The ink is contained in a piece of oloth saturated with it, to whioh the types are applied as often as is necessary. The rapidity of tne printing is about equal to that of writing with • pen as most parsons write. CHAS. F.

MICHAEL PHILBIK The blow fell not on his brain, only because ho shrank from it; and before the shackeled prisoner could lift his irons for another, the wrctch was past his reach ; the door was thrown botweon them, and the courageous officer of the State fired a pistol shot at 1Mdom through the grating, and fled, careiess of what might have been the result, and determined to tome by starvation the spirit be provoked by brutality. The shot had no effect but to fill with stifling sulpher the narrow cell, and to wring an oath with a cry of regret that his body hod not been in its path, from the frantic prisoner. He sunk where he stood, for in the darkness nothing was discernible; and clenching his fetters wUh his hands* he cur*«d aloud, and howled till his voice grew weak 5 then he dropped his head upon his knees and muttered to himself, One near him could have heard such words as these; ' Ten years I O, God 1 Ton years of darknen«, and Atone and iron I Ten years Aere 1 Forgery!
