ROMANCE.

Miss Irene Nichol, daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Nichol's, of Monmouth, Kennebec county, while at work in a factory in Dorchester, Mass., some four years since, was offered very liberal wages to go to Mexico, and engage in a factory just established there. She, with eight others, accepted the offer. While there, she became acquainted with Ferrera, the present revolting and successful General, with whom she contracted marriage. She made a visit to her friends in Me., last summer, during which she received frequent letters from Ferrera. She left here in July or August last, for Mexico, via. New York, where she obtained a license, and was united in marriage to Gen. Ferrera, by his representative, the General not being able to leave Mexico—a step rendered necessary, as the parties were both Protestants, and could not be married in Mexico, a Catholic country. Ferrera is now President of Mexico, having his head quarters at the national palace in the city, and this Kennebec 'Factory Girl' now 'revels in the halls of the Montezumas.' General Ferrera is of German extraction, and we are given to understand is an ardent admirer of the institutions of this country, and would not be opposed to the union of Mexico with the United States. A society, extensive in its ramifications, already exists in Mexico, with a view to the accomplishment of such a project.
