Whilet the Convention for revising the rules of the Demooratio party i 6 in session, a fit opportu nity presents itself for the introduction of an amendment in the present mode of selecting nomi nating Conventions, of -which those who aro acquainted with their composition must see the vital importance. , The great popular objection to the present me thod of nominating candidates by Conventions, is, that it is only rarely, and by accident, that tho °hake is in accordance with the popular will ; teat a free expression of the popular sentiment is not ; obtained in them, and that they too often (if not, always) are in the bands of offtoials, either State or Federal, who are personally interested in the result. ' The evils' resulting from this state of things are, unfortunately, *do easily seen; and we will not comment on them ; but, as n chief moans to re move them, we propose this amendment to the rules, : " That no person holding (or who .has held up to a short period, and then resigned - , intonding to return) an office or situation under the Federal, gtate, or municipal Government, shall be capable of being a member of any Convention to nominate candidates for the Democratic party." . Perhaps this would not putt the views of pomo of those whose principal business in life Booms to be the attending of Conventions; but we are confident that such a rule would meet with tho approbation of thousands of honest Democrats, who wish to soo the purity of their party maintained. The Leviathan. (From the Portland Argus, 7unel2 By the steamship Asia tte yesterday received from Sir Cusack P.

T. 8., 21 OLD BROAD svnuar, LONDON, May 28, 1858. 1 Oren Sin : The enolosod prospectus from the di reatera of the Eastern Steam Navigation Compan7, which will be issued to the public to-morrow, will probably interest you. , Comex P.

After mature deliberation, the directors have arrived at the conclusion that the moat speedy and profitable return can be obtained by placing the vessel on the line between England and the United States. The reasons for this decision are given at length.' They comprise the route, speed, fares, railway facilities, facilities _ for tourists, the facilities of Portland in her harbor and rai lways, and the fa cilities for dalliering cargoes, landed here, at Boston, New York, the Canadas &c., by means of railway_ communioation, free dem any charge of lightenng or wharfage. An estimate - 1s made of the earnings and expen ditures of the ship for one year, allowing her to make onty'sevon voyages par annum. The esti mated 'receipts are £3Q0,000, and the estimated' expenditures £185,050; leaving a • balance of £123,650, or £17,790 per voyage net profit. After carefully considering the _foregoing filets and estimates, the directors, determined to raise tho sum of £220.000 to equip the ship for sea, by the issue 0111,000 annuities to subscribers of £2O each. By a Jotter from John Yates, Esq., Bcereta• ry of the Eastern Steam Navigation company, to the Mayor of our city, we learn that the steam ship will be fitted up and got ready to make her first trip early next season. Piro at Carbondale, Pa. On Tuesday evening, our city was again visited by a devastating fire. It was discovered in the large frame machine shop of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, in the First ward. From the combustible nature of the buildingand the oil and shavings it contained, the small flame at first, spread with great rapidity, and soon envel oped the whole building, reducing it to ashes. On the other side, toward the town, the flames first communioated to a large three story granary of the company's on' the south side of the railroad, which was burned . Thence the fire communicated rapidly to a tier of buildings in immediate connec tion with each other, on the roar of the five lots next south, extending to the steam foundry of J. Benjamin ,k Co.

On the coetrary, what the Emperor had done was this : lie had net Rent to Lord Elgin at Bhanghae, but had sent a message re questing Lord Bigin to meet his messenger at Canton.

After passing some Mauro upon the apathy of the American Go vernment in the suppression of the slave trade, it con cludes as follows: We do not compel her to the virtue she has not; before very long the mere attempt must bring on a fearful war.

A committee, consisting of Senators Allen and Seward. WAR appointed to Inform the Provident that a quorum had aesembled, and that the Senate was ready to receive any communication he may be pleased to make. Mr. AMAIN subsequently reported that they bad per formed that duty. Mr. ansert nreeented a memorial from Benjamin W. Perkins. of Worcester. Massachusetts, in which he aided that in June, 1855, he contracted with the Rue elan Government, by Its accredited minister at Wash ington, for the purchase of 180 tone of powder, and on January, 1858. for thirty-five. stand of arum -Them) were promptly delivered, but theicontract was violated by the minister. Mr Perkins aesnrts that he In wholly ruined, and Wants 1356,000 damages, end sake the Sen ate for relief nrainst the unjust and oppressive acts of a foreign Government. Mr. Ganes, of Missouri, offered *A resolution, which WAX referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, calling on the President to communicate whether any complaint had b-en made by the Government to relation to the alleged breach of contract. Without undyylekirm to express any opinion; IsS• se ton or our Government it may turn out that the momoriellet le mlataken, but the paper came before the Senate in a plausible shape. Mr. Memos, of Virginia, called up the reeolutlone heretofore reported from the Committee on Foreign 'Re lations in regard to British aggressime It :teemed to him a matter of moment that the judgment of the Senate should he pursed upon them, because of the pro bable bearing they may have on any negotiation now pending We have evidence, since the Introduction of theme retolutionn, that, from some cave° or other, them, name nggrensions have been continued in the Gulf of Mexico, and the waters adjacent. by Britleh cruisers We have reason to believe tact the visitation and de tention of our vessel' le not in consequence of any new orders and the probability is, either that they are act: tog without, or front an undue perversion of existing authority. Ile thought that when the • stihjeot woe brought to the attention of the British Government, she would disclaim threes auto ; but the resolutions.dla tinctly presented the question between the two coon trice, and hence it Wen important that the judgment of the Senate should be pronounced in advance of the ne gotiation. Sir. WADIC wished to inquire of Mr Macon whether these aggresaione had not been committed In the effort to put down the Aare trade ? Whether our flag has not been used to cover this trade? and, particularly, whether there is really any diffirnity between the two Governments, which may not be nettled by treaty, in a way honorable to all parties concerned, preventing the slave trade, and our flag being used as a 'worn ? There seemed to him , to be no difficulty. While he In no manner justified the prornedinge of the British vessels, yet he believed the slave trade woe abhorred by both parties, and each wan wil ling to armlet in suppressing tt. The Englieh could have no motive for Insulting our flag; but file has presumed more on us than on any other foreign Power. There in no inherent difficulty, Mr. Menus replied that it was an undoubted fact that the Britirdt Government was trying for many years to obtain front all maritime nations, an wall:it the elate trade, the mutual right of /march and visitation, and she has obtained it front the principal Powers in 'Serene. lint the United States has always denied Et, Re would not say there may be no practical mode for the final disposition of the question, if Grnat Britain claims the right to visit for anypurpose, yet he did not see how it could be done Hr. 13E1rAstve of Lou'siana, trusted that the reeoln , none would be adopted before the Senate: adjourned, He had hoped that an opportunity would have been mseennatendfoforervdeerlibteoraptoetdiasc4soarierti::., the peruocth.emtureo; Great Britain. The Senator from Ohio mid that no doubt the motives of Great Britain were good, and the actions of the officers laudably directed. Mr WADE remarked that ho did not say laudable Mr. IhnirADlN resumed. He bad not no read the his. tory of the relation,' between this country and Great Britain as to give her, credit for minority in thig. pre. tended right. Difficulties constantly occur between us because of her aggrensive policy. She has but a min gle aim—to control the commerce of the world. She grasps at every ocean nod point with this view. She hen for a long nano of years been endeavoring terob , tale from . our Government the right of visitation, which cannot be acceded to without carrying with it in her favor the supremacy of the seas. It wag °Wolin to all that visitation to practically the right of march. It avia admitted by all writers to be a bellige rent. exercise, and should never be submitted to In time of peace. There had rot been energy enough In the management of our foreign relation',; not what we bed the right to expect from the tone of the Inau. garal'message. He trusted that something definite would now, be doe°. It wag hie opinion that Great Britain would not surrender the demand she bag so tong sod pore:neatly pursued. Information ehculd be given her that her pretensions cannot any longer be nubmitted to negotiation; that we cannot permit march:" If she insists on her course, then the people of 'he United State' /Mould prepare for tear. Mr Chi:MEAN, of North Carolina, thought it probable that Great Britain might (amine bar proceedings by saying that Cotamndoro Paulding violated foreign ter ritory, Mired tome of our own people and brought them ewer, not because they had committed felony, but a mbitlemeanor, and although be violated the law, his meting were good. The President and the Com mittee on 'Foreign Relation,' made an argument to title effect. The British Government le entering our ships. Why? It wants to stop a felony. Suppose we make a complaint, we will be told that one of our own officers violated the territory and Jurisdiction of a foreign country, intd, ao far from punishing. the Presi dent commended him, and some Senators thought he ought to have a medal. Could Groat Bri. tai', have a stronger cane ? The act of Commodore Paul ding was an plain a violation of the Constitution and International law as could possibly be committed. Some member,' of the Britt h Parliament might, tollow ing the example, get up and propose that the command er of the Styx be presented with a medal. Hie motives were good in suppreeslng felony end putting down pi racy. While gentlemen Justify the violations commit ted by our own officers, they should make some excuse for others. Be believed, with Mr. Benjamin, that something ought to be done to maintain our reaped abroad. He intended'to vote for the resolutions, but they frit far short of what. we ought to do. The Senate, however, can new do nothing but make a protest. Mr. Doozirrte, of Wigeonsm, wished to know what part pf the Constitution and laws had been violated by Commodore Paulding in the erred of Gen Walker. Mr. O6DMEM4 replied, that clause which says that no power abalt be ekercined except what ia granted. In the second piece he committed dimbedience and vio lated the lawn of the United States, and in the last vio lated the lawn of nations, by invading the territory of a foreign Power. Mr. DOoLITTLIS joined itouo most dietinetly, and could demonstrate in any court of impartial Judges, that in no respect did Commodore Paulding violate the nstitution or lane. or any instruction. received from the Department at Washington The President is au thorized expressly to use the land and naval forces to prevent the carrying on of expeditions from the shores of the United States against a friendly neutral Power. The Minister from Nicaragua returned thanks for the capture of Walker end his followers. We never violated a Iriondly neutral territory. Nicaragua invited us before the President mut In hie message We never violated the territory for hostile purpoess, nor waa there such an intent. It was preposterous to my so Commodore Paulding only carried out his instructions; bet when a clamor RIB made against the Administration it did not dare to take the responsibility of the act Instead of austainlog Commodore Paulding, as the Administration of President Monroe did General Tackson when he seized St. Marks, it suffers Comic:odor° Paulding to be sued in an action of trespass In the courts of how York, and suffers him to be arraigned nimply fordoing his duty to prevent General Walker from levying war on a friend ly Power. 'With regird to the British conduct, Mr. Doolittle said that he did not believe from the begin. Mug that there would be war, but that the British Go vernment will declare that the instructional to the °rel earn have been exceeded: Mr.Omuomes thought that he could show that 'Frie sen had no authority to authorize time invasion, and the President and Committee of Foreign Relations had declared the act Illegal. What he complained of was, that instead of Com. Paulding being censured or pun ished, the executive and committee made an argument In his defence. Therefore, the British Government can make a etronger argument in its own defence. While they admit that Commodore Paulding , s act wan illegal, the Senator from Wimonsln (Mr. Doolittle) propond to present him with a medal. Mr. MALtortr, of Florida, wan rally satisfied that the British instructione" of 1846 had never been modified or extended. Them visitations have been going on for ten years, but became they have been multiplied lately, doubtless instigated by the hope of prize money, they have attracted more general notice than heretofore. This, however, was no sadden Impulse of the American people, and in thin connection be read Mr. Maroy'a let- for in 1855 to the Spanish Minister, relative to the war vessel Ferroiann tiring into the'Bl Dorado, the former assailing that this was a belligerent act, which no na tion had the right to mumble on the high Bean in a time or pence. This once has a peculiar nlgnificance. Spain thus acted Inbar own jurisdiction, but the United Btatee Mends pledged against the right of search by uncompromising •resistance.

If object in rising was to ;Notice a telegraphic despatch giving an account or the proceed logs of what In termed the Administration State Con vention, at Springfield. Illinois. in which his public coerce in condemned. lie proceeded to chow that this was not a Convention of the Democracy of Milnoin. Two percent nominated for State officers are not, and have not been, recognised aq consistent Democrats. The tree Democratic Convention was that bold in April loot, and bantam - I of being abused lie was endorsed by it. What was this Administration Convention? There was a man in Illinois who holde office, travelling all over the State, claiming that he fa authorized by the Administration to denounce every lean as a traitor to • the party who does not aeon ve the Lecompton Constitution This man, with a few bolters frnm the genuine Convention, where they were voted down twenty to ono, got up the pretest squad of Federal office-hoiriern, who were threatened with removal from office, by the postmaster at Chicago, if they felled to attend Their object in to divide the Democracy of Minnie, and denounce Douglas lie never Vet bad been denounced by the regular Convention The bogus gathering wan got up by Dr. Charles Leib, the agent for the Poet Office Department In Illinois. All that Is known of his history in this: when Jim Lane and his gang were driven from Kansan, 1a.1850, Leib lied to Illinois, pretending to be the confidential agent of president Buchanan. This Leib was the chief officer of the society of Doultes, and took the horrid oaths required to break up the Democratic party, under the penalty of being reviled by men, frowned on by devils ' scorned by angels, and forsaken by God. Mr. 1110LEn of Pennnylvania, said! that whet the Sen ator had asserted was the last thing which could hove occurred to any manle imagination. He had before beard this 'allege.tion against Dr. Leib, and nailed hie attention to It. Dr Leib solemnly deoled ever hav ing belonged to each an 'association ; and said that the use of his name Wits without 'any authority. Re wan not in Kenny at the dads of its organization Mr. Domes replied tbat this compelled him to make a statement to the contrary. The first time be ever saw Dr. Leib was in 18E8, when be admitted that he was the man. The feet Wan enacelitible of ,pretif by hundreds of people in Hansen, and be bas admitted It hundreds of times It . wee only'an evidence erthe vileness of the man's character, if he denies that he was the chief of. finer of the fleetly; fp Karma, under Tim Lane. This fact was brolight to the attention of the Pestle - alter General before Dr. Leib was appointed ; bat the Post router said that be bad promised that Leib should have the effice before - he knew it. The free moil party in Il linois has no hope of success In the election, except by destroying the Democracy, and an alliance was formed between them and Leib and his bolters. Mr. Snoonotox of California, wished to know whether the Administration encouraged Dr Leib. Mr. Delirium replied that be did not nay that the Administration gave bins the authority. . The infamy of his nets is too green to induce the belief that the President, or Isle Cabinet officers, could give him such authority; yet he did Hay, that if it is not disavowed after the facts ace known, they will become as roaporisi , ble an if they bad given the authority. ' Mr. BROWSE= expressed his delight at Mr. Douglas' remerkn. Mr. Tanagers., of Illinois, had no disposition to in terfere with the factions the so-called Democratic party. He would not have arisen had not his colleague said that the free-soil party have no hope of success. except by alliance with Dr. Leib and Company. If bin colleague In laboring under such a misapprehension he would disabuse his mind. The Republican party Intend to heat both Dr. Leib and the Democratic party togeth er or separately. There is no alliance between them and thia man Leib acd Me aeeoctatae. Theßepublime will oppose the LeSompton Constitution and all otbei Constitutione like it. and would be happy to unite with hilt colleague to do it. Thin Dr. Leib had been active against the Republicans, and he might be obnoxious to the charges against him for aught he knew This Springfield Convention had denounced the Repribllcans to the moat abusive. gross language, and (Melee 1 their ' priociples. They are no allies of the Itepnbliomm. Mr. DOUGLAS replied that the hope was that Dr. Leib would take oil enough Democrats to elect a Repub lican Legislature. This threat, "we will beat you at all hazards," reminded him of Andrew Kennedy, of In diana, who wan asked how bo, a Democrat, wee elected in a district giving fttur thousand Whir votes. Andy replied—"l beat four of the ablest Whigs, and could hsye beaten foitr more if they had run against me. The district was divided into four parties, and I could have beaten them if they had boon divided into eight " [Laughter.] Mr Denim Haiti that hi 4 colleagne knew well that the hope was to get Dr Leib to take off mem , berg from the Democratic party, and thus insure a Pree ned victory, and elect John Wentworth to Douglas's' place In the Senate.

Mr. Douglas charged the alliance, and said he could prove It If he could make Senators witoemes Mr. R Arson, of Delaware, said that whether DP Lamb lea Danite or net, it was not Important for the country to know in connection with the pending resolutions. Ito regretted exceedingly that Mr. Douglas had inter pOsed the polftica of Illinois, unless the Senator thought they were more important than the subjects connected with the aggressions of a foreign Power.

Carey, on taking the chair, returned his thanks I for the honor conferred upon him, regretted that-he , had no voice to make any remarks, and stated that the meeting would be addressed by several dietinguished speakers. Col William D. Lewis, after a few prefatory re-. marks. read the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, The commerce of the country is now en tirely pisealyzed—the workman being unable tolell hie labor—the farmer finding a daily declining market for bus products—the manufacturer hewing no Market for his fabrice—the miner being unable to sell his coal— the furnece-master meeting no purchasers for his irdn— the machinist finding no demand for his machines- - -- - the property-holder being unable to collect his costa—the capitalist being unable to obtain even the legal rate of Interest—awl the Government being wholly unable to collect the necessary revenue : And Tottered', The cause of paralyeledato be found in the fact that the policy of the Federal Government looks to separating the consumer from the producer— to using the workshop; of Korona while one own people are perishing et home for want of "emploYment : And whereas, The state of things now existing le precisely similar to that which existed in the realism!. tone years which preceded these in Width were passed the protective Willa of 1824, '2B, and '42.'• And whereas. The passage of those riots was followed by an immediate return of confidence. and immediate increase of demand for both labor and tepital—re.ett dialdishing domestic commerce—enabling the meant - ace borer to become a larger customer to the farmer, and the farmer to become a larger euetomor to the Manu facturer, and giving to the country a high degraa rf prosperity.: And whereas. Our whole experiezce proves that prosperity comes with the adoption of measureslooking to the protection of the national industry, while bank. ruptcy of the people and the Government follows al ways in the wake of the free-trade system • _ _a ......._--, ......---..,—,,.„„,-anairsuw - p - enode of p rot ection are those of peace and economical admi nistration of the thivernment, while periods of free trade have been uniformly characterized by war and waste : . And whereas ' The domande upon the Treas ury are steadily increasing. while the revenue at regularly di minishes—the that having already risen to tularly one hundred millions. while the latteris now coming in at the rate of less than thirty millions : - And whereat, Loontinuanen of the existing system can have no other effect than that of a complete bank ruptcy of both the parade and the Goveinreent : And whereas Congress has Met adjourned, after a aix months? menden, remarkable for the fact that. great as are the dletresses of the people, - the executive au thorities have failed to propose any measures of relief, while-the legislative bodies have, refused even to per mit the introduction of any Mesteuree looking In that direction : - -And whereas, When the constituted authorities of a State refuse to protect the people, It bocrimee the peo: ple , n duty to.protect themselves :' Therefore, Besotted That all the events now occurring. ita*ell as all those which have occurred in this lest half cen. - tury; may be adduced in proof of the stiouracy of the views of Jerome, when ho declared that prate - olive duties were necessary to prevent vs foam falling again into a date of colonial dependence ; of Mad - son, when helold his countrymen that it was not only constitu tional, but expedient, to institute a revenue spawn having for its object the protection of our own - planters our own farmers and our own workmen; of Jackson, when he told the farmers and planters that If they would bays good markets far their products, they could do it only by means of measutes looking to an iocreoae in the nuraber and variety of the channels of industry; of Clay, Webster, Clayton. and a host of other illustri ous patriots, who have so frequentlyxolterated to their countryman, the great tenth, that prosperity to the State was to be obtained only by means of measure. looking to the transfer of our workshops front the soil of Rurope to our own. . Resolved, That it is the determination el thin meet ing to labor for the restoration of the system so 'long and eta ably advocated by those great torn—that spittle* which gave to the country the universal prosperity which existed here in the closing yearn of the tariffa of 1828 and 1842. Resolved, That in a change of policy we FOl3 the only coerce through which our political system may be pre served, the experience of all nations previnv that pro tection to the people ia, in fact protection to the Go vernment Itself. Rgsofred, That it la our axed determination, at all future eleetione, to give our cotes to ouch caodldater, and ouch only, as shall prove thernielves prepared to give their mild to measures looking to flaming to the American laborer a market for hia labor. . Resolved, That we hereby tender our thanks to the lion. E. Joy Morrie, Representative from the Second Corgressional district of our State, for the efforts he has made to bring the House of Representatives to the consideration of this most important question; while we deprecate as, unstateinnanlike and Inimical to the national, as well AB our local interests, the whole course on this subject of the members from the let, 3d, 4th, and 6th districts. who should be equally our true re presentatives la the public councils Resolved That the course of the lion. Simon Came ron, in reference to this question, has our most entire approval, contrastiog, an itdoes, so favorably with that of his colleague in the Senate, whose votes on tariff volition!, In our opinion, totally disqualify him for worthily representing our State In the councils of the Union. Resolved, That the thanks of thin meeting are due, and are hereby tendered, to all the members of Con gress of both Houses, who hare advcnated, and are still ready to advocate, the cause In the interest of which we are now assembled. Resolved, That It ie hereby recommended to our fe low-citizens, of the city end the State, to come together and organize themselves, with a view to the dissemina tion of Information in reference to the one great ques tion of the necessity for protecting the American workman, whether the laborer in the field, or his neighbor of the mine, the furnace, or the workshop. Itesolved, That, regarding the real intetests of all portions of the Union as befog in perfect, harmony with each other, we Invite the co.operatton Of our fellow citizens of the North, the South, the Nast, and the Went, in this effort for the final establishment of that industrial independence, the desire for which it was that prompted to the declaration of political Independ ence in f 76. Resolved, That a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together; is all that Is required for electing a °engross, composed of men whose honesty shall repel corruption from among themselves, whose firmness shall compel economy in the administration of the Go vernment, and whose patriotism shall lead them to give to the righta of their countrymen that consideration which is now so utterly denied to them. Resolved, That the chairman be, and heir' hereby, authorized to appoint a committee of seventy-six per. sons, charged with the duty of t,king measures for car. rying the above resolutions into effect, and thus co operating with cur fellow-citizens throughout the Union in the effort to establish a real independence. The Hon Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, was then In troduced and received with much applause. Me said that the meeting had been convened mainly in re lation to the great question of the protection and pro motion of American industry by the action of the Gov ernment The formation of the policy of any nation must depend upon the groat objects and purposee'which the people of that nation have in view, their character, their condition, their circumstances It Is not true that any one system of poi cy can be adopted by all peoples or all nations. The ultimate idea intended to be realized must therefore always be kept in view What was the object for which our sires settled this country, for which they labored, for which they de clared their independence, for which they fought, and for which they formed our political institutions ! The great idea wen the competency of man for self. government, as we have heard thousands of times, but which we carinht hear too frequentiv. The messes were to be elevated—our people were to be bettor fed, better housed, better clothed, and better instructed; all of which were Implied in this effort to bring about the self-government of our country. The people are our voters—the laborers are our voters; and if they cannot guide the 'United States, and shape their destinies by enlightened labor, they will go down in utter darkness. The speaker, after speaking some time In this strain, desired that every one among our people should cul.l - the land he owns, and own the land he cultivates, and hence we need large spreading fields—fields of free soil. (Applause It is by the prosperity of our manufactures alone that our country can really be Independent of other nations. We read in the first book of Samuel, that when the children of Israel were under the Philistines, there was not a smith in all Israel ;ir they produced no swords or spears and hence wore dependent. After a .few humorous remarks, the speaker con tended that a great national policy—that the great in timate of this great people were to be shaped moat enc. easefully in the workshops and fields We know and feel a want of adequate protection to these 'Mores's, and we desire n remedy Mr. Collamer here reiterated that our forefathers desired to see this a community of freemen ; that all ideas of master and servant, landlord and tenant, vassal and slave, cease, at least beyond the confines of the shop. It was difficult to shape a national policy suited to every portion of an extensive country; bat the interests of the great mamma of the people can at least be protected, and a policy be adopted which will promote the industry of the laboring community—not merely in the workshops, and at the loom, but in the field also, for we bring the manufacturer and the con sumer, the producer from the soil and the producer of the workshop, in contact with each other. Mr Collamer hero condemned the action or the De mocratic party, in years past, in relation to a protec tive ts•lif sa destructive of every Hope of progress. He said that the outing vote of Mx. Dallas on the tariff of '46, and the votes andliisecheitOf other Democrats, were opposed to protection. The Democratic party is opposed to protection. and in eider to - obtain the re- , form so greatly needed. people must cease to go as think party goes, but vote for those who will protect them in their rights. It is our duty to pretest oar mannfitc tarers—to protect everything we can produce. As it is, foreigners have our market, without anything to dis criminate them from us; and we moat meet them es poor end as degraded ap they are. What would become of Its If we had at little intelligenatias flier ? This query was extended upon, alter which the 'speaker took his seat amidst much applemse.

Impossible as it is for us to say, yet it is :tried monitory lessou,toall et its, and the slow woad comes to us bidding us to be also ready in the hour in which we maybe called. - If we had been asked a week ago on which one of our fellow-members, we supposed. the - auger of death would be laid. we would certainly have pointed to another I for, when the news had entered into our tit. tle association, and Horroelts was the name given, I was greatly astonished as well as grieved. Health, then, is no guarantee of life ; for, while we may have the vigorous arm and the iron form. and the index of blootd log health upon our cheeks, It is no safe sign that length of days is to be our portion.

Ma body, clasped in the cold embrace of death, will. In a few short hours, be conveyed to its float resting-place. Ere this the disembodied spirit has taken its night to an other. and, we trust, a better and brighter world Ge nerous, true, and manly, we mourn his premature demise. Others of our number are ill, and death Is entwining itself around their heart-cords. A week agone, the deceased was in full and vigorous manhood, and those whom we looked upon to precede him to is that bourne whence.no traveller e'er returns," still survive him. Truly, "Owl moves In a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." The remarks pf Mr. Q. were gait° extended, and lie. toned to with evident interest.
