Approaching Marriage of the Duke of Newcastle.

--The London correspondent of the New York Post writes:

‘ I suppose few Americans will fail to receive with almost personal sympathy the announcement that the Duke of Newcastle is about to marry our Princess Mary of Cambridge. The Princess is a comely and singularly buxom young lady. She is like her sister, the Princess Augusta, who married the hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, only the younger daughter is more lively, looks cleverer, and is decidedly falter. The Duke of Newcastle has been married before to the daughter of the Duke of Hamilton, but the marriage was dissolved at his suit, as I dare say your readers will remember. Nor need I tell you how much he is esteemed in private life, as well as in political society, as one of the most amiable as well as conscientious men. The Queen's consent is a mark at once of her not thoroughly sharing the spirit of George the Third's marriage act, and of her esteem for the Duke, the guardian of the Prince of Wales during his visit to you. The Princess Mary is the youngest daughter of the late Duke of Cambridge, and is twenty-seven years of age.
