- Easiness of the Couhtry. ,
should he truly gratifying to every one, to see
the rapid progress which is being made in;buniness ,
of idmostevery,description, in our country. It is
but a few yearti since our manufacturingiestablish
rnents, of almost every kind, were in a state of in
tancy-r—unahle to supply the demands oil the coun
try, and continually calling for the protecting aid
of the government, in order, as we Were told, to
the continuance of their existence. Now, howev
er t from the great improvements that navd been
made-in machinery, and the superior skill of our
operatives in almost every branch of ilinsiness—
backed by the inviucible spirit of 144 everence
manisted by our countrymen,—we cats see man
ufactures of almost every description, the work
manship of our own countrymen,in demand and
at prices affording a handsome profit While this
is the case .we find, too that nearly al; the other
;investments of capital in - Mir country, are equally
productive. Our ports, though crowded with ves
sels, stilt need more, in order to convey the pro
ducts of our soil to other shores. Oui improve
ments ire inadequate to the increased and stilt in
creasing demands of our export trade. Our man
nfactUries of every kind, are yielding a handsome
income to , their owners; and our mines, though
.pouring forth their treasures without in termission,
itre, notwithstanding, unable to supply the demands
_pf the country.
No better proof of the general prosperity of the
country can be offered, than is daily presented in
the columns of the Federal papers. Their testi
mony is, it Niece, forced from them brit 4 as it
is against their party interests, it is none the less
valuable an that account. The Pittsbdrgh Gazette,
one of the papers least disposed, of till others in
the country, to do justice to the men and measures
the.Dernocratic party, in its revieT of the mar
kits of this place, on the itith ; has the fol.
lawingatatement :
The increasing scarcity and dearness of Win
llow Glass is exciting some attention.Sx tO, which,
within a year or two has been down lo $1,50, and
a drug atthat is now held by many at s3'ty box,
and is not plenty even at that price. ltbcl2 is
plenty, but the demand for this size is moderate,
and it can easily be bad at $2,1543. bOX. . The de
mand for Glass has , greatly increased within two
years, and under the present pictsperbus state of
affairs over the country must continue to grow.
With the multiplication of populatiOn and dwel
lings, this 'necessity' to domestic comfort must
ins ease in the amount consumed. The city Man-,
ufacturers have not bad stocks of any; size on band
for a considerable period. City brands are brisk
at $3,50 for Bxlo, and $4,50 for 10x 112, (9 , box-"
The manufacture of the article at Glass, em
ploys no inconsiderable portion of the wealth of
our country; and is one of those bMnches of in
dustry which, vrejlave been told requires the fos
teringsare of our general government, to enable
it to compete] with "the pauper labor r ot Europe.'
And stilisuch is the state of prosperity, connected
\ with {his branch of business, that we are told by
\ a Federal editor, while a Dernocratie administra
lion is zealously engaged in perfecting measures
fothe benefit of our vast country, that it " - mast
conikitie to grow ;" and that in this city. one of the
principal manafacturisrg places of the article in
country, such is the extent of the 'demand, that
our ma*ufacturers have not had stocks of any.
• Size on hand for a considerable period.'
The Nortli,American the leading-Federal paper,
of •Mis State, in view of the passage of the Tariff
act of 1846, held this language:—
"WE syrinx TEAT the general results of that
act, born and brought forth in fraud and wrong.
will be ealamitous=vanv CALAMITOUS, to every
interest which Pennsylvania cherishes. It will
diminish by millions the value of our staples. Is
that denied ? It will loWer the rates of wages—
it will throw thousands Out of employment—it
will induce.general distress`, , and incalcolable indi
vidual suffering. It will lessen the .value of pro
perty in the State; it .will depredate ;.the value of
agricultural products; it will -ruin tbausande of me
chanics; it will check improvethenta, public and
private; it will plunge the State info 'the inky pit
of repudiation, and produce without la single bene
fit promised or hoped, universal loss .and suffering!
Is this or any portion of it seriously denied ? It
is not !—North ...iftgust 13th, IS.Ci.
Now, the manufacture of Glass is one of those
•`interests which. Pennsylvania chetashes," and
which was to be frustrated by the passage of that
,act; and in the prophecy of ruin 01 this among
other interests, every paper under the control of
that party. th roughout :the country, ibined. Not
One-year has. e4psed, since these paper's were filled
with siiniiur adirmationa ; and even now the leati% .
ing Federal paper of Pittsburgh is fotiedio admit
that, "under the present prosperous;state of affairs
over the country," all these " interesti," to which
the passage of that law would inevitably prove so
" very disastrous," -"must continue togrow."
What, we would ask uf any reasonable man, are
we to infer from these facts 2 That the measures!
of the Democratic party arc calculated to ruin the
agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial in•
teiests of the country? That the Federal leaders
are ignorant of the true principles of political
economy upon which to administer ;our govern
ment; and thereane unlit to he trusted'? Or, ate;
they reckless of truth, dishonest, anti leterrnined to
try and deceive the people, in relation to the ten-,
dency of the measures - which they Propose, and
by the continued operation of la hicli they would
subvert the government of our country ?
We will continue this subject on a:future occa•
sion. Inrthe mean time, let our readers think of
these things; and thus get at the truth, by a calm
and dispassionate examination of thia measures in

Death of Daniel O'Connell.
The greatest man - that Ireland ever produced ,
has gone down to the grave, full of years and full
of honors. Daniel O'Connell is no more! The
death' of this distinguished statesman will produce
much . sensation, not in Great. Eritaia alone, bui
thrOughmit the 'aivilizeti world, for his name and
fame have traveled to the remotest borders of the
•
earth. • •
It ha& been the principal object of Mr. °Von_
nell's life, to elevate the character of his country.
men, and reclaim Ireland trom the miserable con
dition in which she has become involved, in con
sequence of the injustice and oppression of Eng.
land. Although tds labors have not been crowned
with entire success, yet every person will freely
admit, who has watched the progress of events,
fliet be has produced a mighty. revolution in the
public mind. llehadvnetnies"(and who has nob?)
—he has been abused and villified by the myrmi
dons of power and those who wished to defeat
, (
the measures of the great Reformer, were ever
ready to misinterpret his Motives. Of late- years
England has manifested a greater disposition to,
do justice towards Ireland and . it is to be hoped
that the time is not far distant when every cause
of complaint on the part •of the latter country
will be removed.
Daniel O'Connell was born in Kerry, on the sth
of August, 1775. His father was somewhat
anguished as a member of the Catholic Church,
and "was extensively allied by consanguinity and
marriage with the old families of the country."
Daniel ieceived his education at St. Omar's, in
France, and at Douay and Louvain. He lived as
he died—an ardent Catholic. ulle loved the reli
gion of his ancestors so much the more, because
its votaries were oppressed for their opinions."
O'Connell has successively represented in the
British House of Commons, the counties of Clare,
'Kerry, Kilkenny, Cork, the city of Dublin, and
other places. He was the first Roman Catholic
who had occupied a seat in the House of Com
mons of England for some centuries; and the
first Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin for three hun
dred years. - The N. Y, Tribune says:—
He was the life and soul of the Catholic Asso- I
elation, - by Means of which very many disabilities
affecting the greater portion of his' countrymen
were removed, and without the aid of his eloquence '
and influence, it is very doubtful if the measure of
Parliamentary Reform would have been carried in
1832. He aided Protestant dissenters as well as I
Catholics, by supporting efficiently the repeal of
the. Test Acr, the repeal of the Vestry Cess, and
the reduction of the Tithe Charge, bf 25 percent.
all over Ireland. He succeeded in obtaining va
/Jails enactments for improving Irish municipal'
corporations, fur aidt from the State to educate
Catholics in Catholic colleges, and for a better po
litical administration of affairs, and a more equal I
distribution of power and patronage. He aided in I
amending the partial Jury laws, and was a steady ,
advocate of the free importation of grain. liey
could say, long before his death, what no other
lawyer of his creed could have said during a suc
cession
of ages, that, while up to 1702, Irtshmen,l
it Catholics, were prohibited from, pleading a cause
in any Irish Court, either as attorney or counsellor,
he bad beeen offered by a British Ministry, through
an Irish Lord-Lieutenant, the office of Master of
the Rolls, with $20,000 a year income for life, or
Lord Chief Baron, worth $36,000 a year, vast pa
tronage, and substantial power, and that he had I
refused both. When blamed by the London Tunes t
for accepting the rent from his countrymen, to:
enable him to maintain the position of leader oil
the nation, and defray the enormous expenses 'of
the agitation in which he was necessarily engaged, I
it was forgotten that he had refused power azAl
place, and abandoned a most profitable practice at!
, the hist, bar.
O'Connell studied law in Fog:and, and was ad
mitted to the Bar in 1708. Ilia success was rapid.
" He soon became the rising young Catholic law
yer." In after life be was regarded as the best of
criminal lawyers.
With the clergy of his church he was ever a
favorite. He had' been 'educated by them ;
.was
constant in the performance of his religious duties
from youth upwards. He was the great advocate!
of the Church, both spiritual and temporal.
His drat speech on record was against the union !
of his country with England ; and he there declares
his preference for the Irish Parliament, without
emancipation, to annexation- to England with it.
He excited the admiration of some, and the an
imosity of others, by his implacable opposition to
slavery—the slavery of the southern States par
titularly—and, as will be recollected by many, his
course on this question seemed more like fanati
cism than sober and earnest philanthropy.
Re was opposed to duelling, as has !conduct on
at least one occasion proved.
The aid given by him to Father Matthew's Tem-,
perance cause, exhibits him in, the light of a prat
Oral reformer—one who takes up in detail, the
evils which afflict the people, ay.d strives for their
eraclieatton. As a temperance advocate Le did as
.enual service to his countrymen.
It is said that when young, O'Connell was a
freemason and master of a Lodge, hut afterwards
renounced the order %%hen he found that his church
had condemned it.
The effort, made hy Sir Retrert 'Peel's Govern
mem to degrade and punish him, for attending
large public meetings of the people, peacefully to
state teal grievances and demand their redress, in
creased his popularity and power, and exhibited
do lie very enviable light fhe Queen's Bench Court
ofloland, either as lawyers or impartial triers.
-In Belgium, prayers were recited for O'Connell
and his fellow suLrerers in the churches; England
was indignapt at the want of fair play shown
throughout; America caught the pleasing infec
tion, repealers were multiplied, money was sub
scribed, and our distinguished fellow citizen, Chas.
0 Connell presided at an overflowing meeting at
Tammany, to expess the generous feelings of pub
lic indignation from this side the sea.
In his defence, which was in reality a bill of in
dictment piesenteil to the British people against
I their government, for many continued wrongsdone
his countrymen, ha deckled his opposition to
:physical lorce—to „the shedding of one drop of
blood. Such were dot 'always his views, although
he was doubtless since in the change of sentiment.
N. Y. Tribune.
As has already been announced, the Cambria
brought us the unwelcome. aews of the death of
this distinguiShed Irish statesman. He died at
Genoa, (Italy,) on the 15th Nay; and gave direc
tions that his heart .should be deposited at Rome'
and his body in Ireland.
We learn that up to a few months before hi
his death, he was in apparent good health—hate,
hearty, vigorous; fond of a good juice and full of
mirth and humor.
Another Bone for the Feb.
"The Washington Union states that the procla
mation of General Scott is entirely his own. The
Administration gave no instructions on the subject
—made no suggestions, and knew nothing of it."
It would not be surprising to hear the- Federal
editors„ ere long, swearing that they never said
soup" .once, and that they never said General
Scott s poelamation was 'tea out for him from the
City of Washington.
p A veil; skilfitt criticism is made of the card
of the 2nd Tennesse regiment, assailing Major
General PacLow, by an .otricer in the Army, in
the Mint ar y ,Argue, and copied into the ..breii;' York
Commercial. It convicts the author. and .enders

New York Judicial Election.
OFFICUL lissuvr.—We -learn from the N. Y.
Daily Globe, of Friday, that- the average Democrat
ic majority on the ticket for Court -of Appeals, in
that City and County, is 5,011. On Judges of the
Supreme Court, 4,569: On Judges of the Superior
Court,"s,9lBover hat was run as the "regular
Whig ticket." On Judges of the Common Pleas,
4,552. On Clerk Or the Court of Appeals, 4,874.
On District Attorney, 6,445, over Mr. White, the
Whig candidate.
Showing an average Democratic majority on the
six tickets, of about 5,340. That will do very,
well for one Democratic triumph ; and only shows
what can be done by the Democracy when they
give a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto.
gaiter."

THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH
It is unfortunate for the opposition to the pres
ent war, that a southern man has led our trop •
to victory in Northern Mexico. While be may
consent to serve as a candidate for the Presidency.!
and while, in the hope of advancing their party !
and pelsonarfeatures, they asse‘erate mosevehe
silently that they are his friends, it is abund'untly I
certain, if the influences of education and position
mean anything—nay, if the studied espressiOns!
horn his own lips and from his own pen are not I
misanderstood—they will either have to change I
ground wholly to make their
,principles square
with him. This circumstance has not been with
out its due influence upon them. -To this may un
questionably be traced their silence, when' com
pared with their former clamorous vehemence,
on the subject upon which all Southern men are
opposed to the Federal party.
One of these subjects—long a favorite theme,
with our opponents—was that of excltieg discus.
sions between the North dud the South, by appeals
to sectional interests, by exaggerations of sectional!
complaints, and by stimulating sectional prejudi•
ces. The examples are fresh in our recollection
and of recent occurrence. Objections to any future
candidates for the Presidency from the South-1
highly colored pictures of the number of offices
held by Southern politicians—and the most viru- I
lent attacks upon Southern institutions—these
were the chief staptea of the appeals of our North
ern Federalists; and v - lien the Tariff of 1842 was
repealed, it was charged that the country had been I
ruined, manufactures prostrated, and the great sys
tirn of protection destroyed, through Southern in
fluence and Southern votes. This was alleged as
a new cause of hatred and revenge against our
brothers who live : under ass ardent Southern sun.
In some cases it gave rise to open threats of dis
union on the part of the high Tariff advocates,and
there is no telling whereall—thismrigerWould have
halted if the good sense of the country had not
stepped in at the opportune moment, and proved
that the people were resolved to be happy and con
tented in defiance of Federal predictions.
The objection that the present war is a South. ,
ern war —is a war to extend Southern institutions
—is therefOre a war to destroy ills interests of the
North—is precisely the *same objection that was made ,
against the war of 1812. The leaflets in the lat
ter movement, as well as those in the present
movement, are nearly the same men or tlse.ir im
mediate descendants. How admirably Matthew
Carey, in his 0/ire Branch, draws the portrait of
these internal traitors. "They make every possi
ble effort to raise obstructions and difficulties is
the prosecution of the war; and yet reprobate the
administration for their imbecility in carrying it oil.
They attempt to reduce the government to bank
ruptcy; and yet reproach it for its necessities and
embarrassments. In a word, all -their movements
have but one object, to enfeeble and distract the
government."
But in regard to exciting differences between
the North and South, on account of the war, the
similarity is equally remarkable between Federal
ism in 1812 and Federalism in 1847. The for
mer regarded the war of that period—began to
vindicate "free-trade and sailor's rights" apd to
chastise those who dared to impress American citi-
zens into a foreign serviee,-,-as q war upon North
ern commerce. The latter believe the present war
to be a war for the extension of Southern institu-
tions, and therefore against Northern interests.
Let the eloquent Carey once more depict, with his
powerful pen, the astonishing resemblance. Now,
as in 1812, the prospect of distinion is openly ad.
vocated, and even in this city a crisis. has been im.
agined to be close at hand, which &Mended such a
remedy. After giving extracts from various North•
ern papers' in favor of. dissolution,.because the war
was a war upon Northern commerce, Mr. Carey
goes on toaay :
"It is impossitle,for a man of intelligence and
candor to read these extracts without feeling a de
cided conviction that the writer and his friends
were determined to use all their endeavors do dis
solve the Union, and engender civil war and all it s .
horrors,in order to promote their personal views."
"These 'positions, - however absurd, however .ex•
travagant, however ridiculous, in theirnaked form,
have, by dint of incessant repetition, made such
an impression upon the minds of a large portion of
the people of the Eastern States, that they are as
thorong,hly of,
of their truth as
_of any
problenain Euclid."

THE DESIRES QF A RING.
The African King, Maria- de Gollyna, has ad
dressed a letter totlac Queen of Spain, in which he
styles her his sister,. offers her the assurance of his
lively sympathy forherself and the Spanish nation,
and declares, that her subjects are the" only stran
gers whoin he permits to dwell in his kingdom.—
In this letter, which is singular throughout, he re
quests her Ma3esty to send him a cocked hat with
a very large red plume, a coat with two very long
tails, a cane with a golden head as large as an or

[Translated for the Morning Poet from Le Courrier
des 'Etats Cilia.]
The following is extracted from a letter dated
A very singular plenomenon—which was near .
ly followed by disastrous consequences—occurred.
lately in the black Sea. The steamer Stambol,
bound for Constantinople, was sailing on smooth
water about an hour after leaving Sinope, when
the sea suddenly opened under her, forming an im
mense fu . nnel. The water finding its level again;
the waves almost covered the vessel ; flowing over
the deck, a and doing considerable damage.
The shock was so violent that many leaks were
sprung, and the vessel was a considerable timese.
covering. She finally righted, however, but so
much injured that she was obliged to turn back to
Sinope and repair.
The witnesses of this phenomenon thought at
first that it was caused by an earthquake, but as
no shock was felt at Sinope, this explanation will
hardly be deemed satisfactory.
MEETING OF THE BIRMINGHAM GUARDS
At a meeting of the Infantry Company,
`•Birmingham Guards," held at their armory on
Friday the iSth instant, after their return from the
furneral of Mr. John Easell late a member of said
Company it was, on motion.
lkwlved, That D. Cunningham, S. Steele, J. W.
Boyd and G. E. Appleton, hg a committee to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense ofthe company
upon this occasion.
The committee reported the following preamble
and resolutions which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas; it hath pleased Divine Providence to re
move from time to eternity our late fellow-mem
ber Mr. John Ensell—and while it becomes us
meekly to submit to this afflicting dispensation of
an all-wise Creator, whose acts are all for the good
of his creatures; we feel in duty hnund,•by the
many virtues of the deceased, to express our sin
cere'sorrow, on this mournful occasion, for the loss
we have sustained, both as individuals, as a Com
pany, and as members of the community; there
fore be it—
&sutra, That in tho death of Mr. John Ensell,
we, as indivividuals, have lost a true and tried
friend, whose gentlemanly deportment endeared
him to all—and as a Company—we mourn an
110410 - v1 and Lealous member; ever prompt in the
discharge of his duty, and active in promoting the
welfare of the "Guards."
Resolved, That the decease of one, just entering
upon the threshold of manhood, in whose vision
the future was arrayed in all the gloving colors
of youthful imagination, has spoken to us trumpet
tongued, of the uncertainty of life and the evanes
cent nature of all earthly things.
Resolved, That the committee are hereby instruc
ted, to present to the Parents of the deceased. a
copy of these resolutions, with the assurance that
we deeply sympathize in the grief of relitions and
friends, over the loss of one so worthy.
Resolved, That as a testimonial of respect for the
deceased, we wear the usual badge of mourning
for thirty days, and that the committee have these
proceedings published.

Alevines!. Disruzz.—There is now a very a.
musing controversy going on between our fellow
citizens, Col. Deihl, Market clerk, and Maj. Otis
Young, on the question as to which of these gen
tlemen is the proper officer for measuring the
mensions of coal wagon beds. The Colonel claims
to be the man, by virtue of authority vested in him
by city Councils; Maj. Y. exhibits his appoint
ment by the state. Coal haulers object strenuous
ly to being twice taxed for a service that requires
but one person to perform ; and it is in curiae
vence of their protestations that the question 45
now brought up for discussion.
Coon-rs.--The Quarter Sessions, Oyer and Ter.
miner, &c , Judges Parrox, Fowl's'', and Kenn, I
commenced for the Summer term yesterday. A
grand Jury was empannelled, John B. Sheriff, Esq ,
Foreman. After a short charge from His Honor,
Judge Parrox, the Jury retired to their room. A
large number of bills wilt be presented to them,
but none that will excite touch interest in the
community. The License question will attract
the most attention. What may be the fate of the
numerous applications for license; we can not tell;
those who have sold liquors in violation of t ! ..
lawn will be - sinarsrdealt With, iveliferilfmii.
The Grand Juryireturned twenty-one true bills.
DISTIIICT COITIIT.—Judge Hspe ax 'on the
bench; the argument list was taken up.
Cy. The Secretary of the Navy has addressed a
fetter to Capt. Stringham, of the T.T. S. ship Ohio,
requesting him to tender to Midshipman Philip C.
Johnson and seaman John Richardson, the thanks
of the Department fur their gallant and praise-
Worthy conduct in saving at the risk of their own
lives the life of a fellow seaman, who had fallen
overboard. Secretary Marcy remarks in his letter
—.They have been already rewarded by the con.
sciousness of having saved the life of a fellow
creature. Such an act is as meritorious as the
most daring exploits in battle."
o:7'The officers and crew of the frigate United
States have contributed Ps3,—which theydenom
inate a " widow's mite,"—for the relief of the suf.
fering Irish. They are noble fellows, truly I,
crj> Through some mistake, we presume, the
notice of the death of Mr. O'Connell was nut giv
en to us in The Telegraphic report of the news by
the Cambria. This is the o reason why it did not.
sooner appear in the Post.
Tits HOSPITAL.—The Dispatch speaks in great,
praise of the manner'in which the Hospital of the
Sisters of Mercy is conducted. The editor judges
from personal observation.
From the Cincinnati papers we learn, that ,
the Poems of 'Capt. ,GEO. W. CIiTTED, late of the;
Kentuary'volunteers, are soon to be published. In
addition to his being a line writer, Capt. C. has
proved that ,the field of battle has no more terrors'
for him than the Court of the Muses. - We sincere
ly hope be may long live to remember the scenes
he has passed through in Mexico.; and that his
countrymen may call for many large editions of
his 'Poems.

ccy• From the St. Louis Union, we learn that al
destructive fire occurred in that city on the evening
of the 12th, commencing in the coach-making es
tablishment of Messrs. FALLON & Waiour, No.
133 North Second street. Mr. Fallon was badly
burned, in attempting to save his property. The
loss of himself and partner is heavy, amounting
probably to $13,000 or $ . 20,000. A number of
very fine carriages were burned, besides an im
mense amount of stock.
Yesterday says the Reveille, we were thinking
of something infernal, when in walked Signor
Blitz, looking us full in the face, ni the same time,
from behind that shadowy cloud of hair and whis
ker which he envelopes his satanic countenance.—
We were very good friends instanter, spite of hoof'
or brithstone, and we were just about to surrender
ourselves in wonder and admiration at the way in
. v.hich the Signor conjured coin "into our pocket,
and more mysterious still out of our pockets, when
who shout I pop in but De Meyer, with his lion
port and kid-like courtesy. Here Jwas another
victim for.the arch enemy, and accordinglySlitz
began to play the devil with the musician. even
as he had done with us. De Meyer stood it for some
time in high admiration, when he exclaimed :
' " Pell, I am surprise as nothing else beside !
Now .Mosieur Pleetz, I fill show some -hombogs,
too." He forthwith tore a small strip from the
margin of a riewspNzer, which,. again,
he divided
into six very small pieces, aodspread the eau the
palm of his hand.
"Now, Monsieur Pleetz, I vas desire to know if
you can give von pouff wis you mouth, and
blow away all dies leetle beets, except iron dat I
shall show you.'
The magician ,sMdied The problem closely; but
the puff away, at a breath, five of the pieces, with
(out stirring the sixth, was enough to puzzle the
devil himself, and so bisdisciplegave up, earnestly
desiring to be informed as to the art of the matter.
'Ferry yell, I show you,' said - De Meyer.--'Now,
den, vat piece shall I keep on my hand ven I
pouf?'
Blitz pointed out the very centre piece.
'Oh, dat is him ! goot! Now, regaidez The im
promptu conjurer deliberately laid his pencil point
upon the bit of paper designed,gave a-' pouf," and,
aura enough, the other five pieces left his hand in
a 'hurry!
There was a.great Jaugh at the expense of Blitz.
He however, immediately got rid of the 'sell' by
disporing of it to our Senior, who entered at the
moment, and, 'who, 4.)y the bye, is now in the mar
ket with it!
DISNEY'6 Eucour cm Gas. HAMILI...=.IVe have
received a copy of this beautiful production, which
whilst it yields the grateful tribute of honor and
gratitude to the illustrious dead, proves that Ohio
may yet boast of her living patriots, statesmen
and orators.
The following is the closing paragraph of this
,Zruent production:
In the bloody streets of Monterey, when the
death storm was at its highest, and the shattering
volley came
,pellbz down, when the wild huzza,
and the _muskets' crash, and the cannons' deidly
boom told how the fatal work progressed—firm at
his post he braved the terrors of the field. On a
thousand wings came flying the messengers of .death ,
theC.earth Isas bathed in gore—the star-xpangled
banner fluttered in the smoke until the conquering
power of the freeman's arm planted it on the top
most tower of the captured town. But not fated
there to die, he escaped every danger of the day
Nut among scenes of blood and carnage—notamid
the groans of the wounded, and the shriek's of the
dying, was his career to close—but when all was,
dune, and the hattle's strife had slept, the fiat , came:l,
and disease destroyed what the fight had spared.
Unsearchable are the ways of God.' TuomAs
,L.
HANRIL has passed from among us—may we profit
by the example of his life."
SI NO V Len AN VCDOTR.--Several years • ago a
charity sermon was ,preached in a dissenting chap
el in The west of England. When the preacher as.
cended the pulpit he thus addressed the hearers:—
My I rethern, before proceeding to the duties of
this evening, allovi me to relate a short anecdote..
Many years have elapsed sincel was last within
the walls of this house. ellpon that evening, a
mong the hearers came three men with the inten
tion of not only scoffing at the minister, but with
their pockets filled with stones for the purpose of
assaulting him. After he had spoken a few sen
tences, one said, /.11---n him let us be at him now;
but the second replied, .No, stop till we hear what
he makes of this point.' The minister went on,
when the second said,'We've heard enough now—
throw!' but the third interfered, saying, 'He is not
so foolish as . 1 expected; let us hear him !out'..—
Now, mark me, by brethern—of -these three men,
one was executed xhree months ago at Newgate
for forgery; the second at this moment: lies under
the sentence of death in the jail of this city, for
murder—the other (continued the minister with
great emotions—the third, through the infinite
goßdness of God, is even now about to address you—,

FLOUR—Yesterday was another dull and quiet
day with the flour dealers. After diligent inquiry
amongst all the principal Dealers,: we did not hear
of a single transaction worthy of notice. One
extensive operator offered scoop- bbl. for a lot of
1000 bbls; but the holder declined accepting, and
asked $5,15. This was the nearest thing to a bar- 1
gain we have to report, and the circumstance, in
the absence of actual sales, may give some idea of
the state of the market.
