THE QUEEN.

"
Third Reading Of the Bill Of Pains and
Penalties.
On Friday November, 10, (fifty third
day. The Earl Of Liverpool moved the
order of the day for the third reading Of
the Bill Of Divorce and Degradation a.
gainsi the Queen.
The Earl Of Morlay opposed the mo-
ton. He concurred entirely with his
majesty's ministers up to the second read
ing Of this BILL. He thought that her
maiesty's arrival here rendered this en-
quiry necessary but the reason he voted
on Monday against the second reading.
and would now vote against the third
reading was, that he did not think the
charge in the preamble fully made out.
The bill covered six years OF her majes.
tvs conduct, and was it not singular that
during that long space Of time, il did not
produce proof Of any one act oil adultery
on any specific day? He knew that strong
differences were drawn that it had, at par
ticular times, been committed; but ne
still thought they did not amount to proof.
He also thought that the provisions oil the
bill were, il not Of revolutionary shape
At least Of an anti-monarchicaI. Hs was
a decided enemy to all ex post facio laws,
except where the public safety rendered
such measures necessary; aud, after some
further observations, declared himself a
decided enemy ofihis bill.
Lord Somers spoke at considerable,
length in favor of the bill, the preamble
Of which he contended had been fully
proved.
Earl Fortescue said that It was impos-
s'ble for him TO think that the evidence
which had been adduced 10 this case a.
mounted to legal proof Of guilt. II was

that federal courts should be organized in
Missouri. We have other, and perhaps
more important interests in that country.
which alone can be protected by the ex-
tension Of the Judicial authority of the
union. If, said. he, the mail should be
robbed, or the public funds purloiped, the
offender, al this moment, would 60 with.
out punishment, although there was abuu-
dant proof to establish his guilt. Nay, if
treason should be committed, the traitors
would escape with iuspunity, for The want
Of court 10 take cognizance Of such
crimes. La whatever point Of view this
subject is considered, said Mr.. W. it is
important that no time should be lost in
establishing the federal authority in that
state.
The resolution, b. the rules Of the SEN
ate, lies on the table on dayof course.
House Of Representatives, Jan. 2.

resolutions Of which he gave notice some
days ago, Of which the following is copy.

In Senate, Tuesday, Jan. 2.
BANKRUPT BILL.

Mr.. Van Dyke, agreeably TO notice,
and having obtained leave, introduced a
bill to establish an uniform system Of bank
ruptcy. This bill embraces only the
bankrupt principle, and, with some mod
ifications, not affecting its main principle,
is the same as the original bill before the
Senate at the last session. The bill pass
ed 10 second reading.
MISSOURI.
Mr.. Williams, Of Tenn. submitted the
following resolution for consideration
Resolued. That the committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to report bill
extending the Judicial authority of the
United States over the state of Missouri.
The resolution having been read
Mr.. Williams said, il was highly i'm
portant that the judicial authority Of the
United States should be extended over
Missouri, with the least possible delay.
The territorial courts no longer existed
10 that territory, having been superseded
by the courts of the state. The state
courts had DO jurisdiction Of offences COM
mitted against the United States. Several
Indian tribes, said Mr.. w. live within
the limits Of Missouri; our treaty stipu-
latiops, and the laws regulating intercourse
with the Indian tribes, prohibit intrusion
OH their territory, aud subject the intru-
ders 10 criminal prosecution. This is an
offence Of almost daily occurrence, and
none but federal court can try such Of
fences. Ii, 10 the Indian country. white
man should kill red one, the federal
court alone can take cognizance Of the
offence. In answer to such complaint,
it would be but a poor apology to say we
had provided no court to try the cause.
The Indians would not understand this
excuse, and il would lead to retaliation,
and perhaps 10 an Indian war. 1t is es.
seutiaI, therefore, said Mr.. w. to enable
US to execute in good faith our engage.

Of some fair divinity, am transplanted to
the very summit of happiness, and in the
tranquil scenes Of domestic enjoyment
realize all the failing poets have sung Of
connubial felicity. All! how poignant
is my disappointment, how great my re,
greet, when l awake from these cheering
phantoms to the sad reality of my situa-
ton, and find myself still solitary bache-
lor
Thus are my thoughts continually,
whether sleeping or waking, on the fair
I am naturally complacent, and as to
running away when 1 see lady ap-
preaching, to whom +" the compliment oil
my hat is due" it is contrary to my ma
ture, and never enters my mind. No,
Miss, l would walk a mile to have an
opportunity Of bowling and scraping,
which l can do with an elegance that
would both delight and surprize you.
I hope you will now acknowledge you
were ignorant Of tn real character of q
bachelor, and that he is being not al
together unamiablc. But really have
desire to quit state on which there is
SO much odium thrown, and as soon as
| can find suitable companion, my ex-
ertion shall be limited to the promotion
Of female happiness. If you, or any Of
your fair companions, are disposed to let
the world have one bachelor less to rail
at, a hint through the medium of the
Spectator will lead to an acquaintance
which may be productive Of mutual sa-
tisfaction. In the mean time please to
observe, that when not under tho influ.
ence of the spleen, vapors, or any Of
those disorders which solitude engcnders
I can make very flattering speeches about
female charms, SC. o.

DEATH OF NAPOLEON.
PHYSICIANS, REPORT.

PHl SlCIANo' kEFOkl. t
Longwood, 81. Helena, May s.
Report of appearance on dissecting
the body of Napoleon Bonaparte.
On a superficial view, the body appear
ed very fat, which state was confirmed
by the first incision down its centre,
where the fat was upwards of one inch
and half over the abdomen. On cut
ting through the cartillages of the ribs,
and exposing the cavity ofthe thorax, a
trifing adhesion Of the left pleura was
found to the pleura costalis. About
three ounces Of a reddish fluid were con-
tanned in the left cavity, and nearly eight
ounces in the right. The lungs were
quite sound. The pericardium was ma
tural, and contained about an ounce of
fluid. The heart was of the natural size,
and thickly covered with fat. The au-
ricles and ventricles, exhibited nothing
extraordinary, except that the muscular
parts appeared rather paler than natural.
Upon opening the abdomen the omen
tum was found remarkably fat, and on
exposing the stomach, that viscus was
found the seat of extensive disease
Strong adhesion connected the whole
superior surface, particularly about the
pyloric extremity in the concavc surface
Of the left lobe Of the liver; and in sepa-
rating these, an ulcer, which penetrated
the coats Of the stomach, was discovered
one inch from the pylorus sufficient to
allow the passage Of the little finger
The internal surface of the stomach, to
nearly its whole extent, was a mass OF
cancerous disease, or scirrous portion
advancing to cancer; this was particu-
larly noticed near the pylorus. The
cardiac extremity, for a small space near
the termination of the Gsophagus was
the only part appearing in a healthy state.
The stomach was found nearly filled
with large quantity Of fluid, resem-
bling coffee grounds.
The convex surface Of the left lobe Of
the liver adhered to the diaphram. With
the exception Of the adhesions OCCASION
ed by the disease in the stomach, no un-
healthy appearance presented itself in
the liver. ~ q
The remainder Of tho abdominal vice.
"a were in q healthy state.
A slight peculiarly in the formation
Of the left kidney was observed.

POETRY.
THE SOLITARY TOMB.
M BERNARD BARTON.
No. a leaf Of the tree which stood near me was
stirr'd,
Though breath might have mov'd it so
lightly,
Not farewell note from sweet singing bird,
Babe sdieu to the sun setting brightly.
The sky was cloudless and calm, except
In the west where the sun was descending ;
And there the rich tnts Of the rainbow slept,
As his beams with their beauty we're blend
ing.
And the evening star, with its ray so clear,
So tremulous, soft, and tender,
Had lit up its lamp, and shot down from its
sphere
Its dewy, delightful splendor.
And stood all alone, on that gentle hill.
With landscape 50 lovely before me;
And its spirit and tone, SO serene and still
Seemed silently gathering Ger me,
FAR off was the Deben, whose briny Hood
By its winding banks was sweeping;
And Just at the foot Of the hill where l STOOD
The dead in their damp graves were sleep
ing.
How lonely and lovely their resting place
seem'd!
An enclosure which care could not enter
And how sweetly the grey lights Of evening
gleam'd
On the solitary tomb in its centre!
When at morn, or at eve, l have WANDERED near
And in various lights have view'd il,
With what differlngf forms, untofriendship DEAR
IIa. the magic offancy enduedit!
Sometimes it has seem'd like lonely sail,
A white spot on the emerald billow;
Sometimes like lamb, in low grassy vale,
Stretched in peace on its verdant pillow.
But no image of gloom, or care, or strife,
Has it ever given birth to one minute;
For lamented in death, as beloved in life,
Was he, who now slumbers within it.
He was one, who in youth on the stormy seas
Was far and fearless ranger y
Who, borne on the billow, and blown on the
breeze,
Counted lightly Of death or Of danger.
Yet in this rude school had his heart still kept
All the freshness of gentle feeling;
Nor in woman's soft eye has tear ever slept
More of softness and kindness revealing.
And, when the hustle of youth was past,
He liv'd, and he lov'd, and he died too:
Oh! why was affection, which death could out
last,
A more heightened enjoyment denied to :
But here he slumbers! and many there are
Who love that lone tomb, and revere
And one far off, who, like eve's dewy star,
Though at distance, in fancy dwells near it.
