Extract OF letter from gentleman of this place,
dated .Carthagena, Feb. | 1879.


1t is expected that the Congress will shortly re
gulae the affairs OF commerce, and that things will
be on more liberal footing. The people ofPortol
Bello and those of the Isthmus, with Panama, &
all that extent of territory, having solicited 10 be-
come part Of the Republic, have driven all the
Spanish Royasts and troops out Of the country
Every thing promises and looks well 10 the cause
~of liberty. The Spaniacds have but handful of
Jnen shut up in Porto Cavello, whilst the gallant
Bolivar is carrying his arms triuphanty to the Pr.
chc. Other armies are sattered ia various provin-
ceq, all OF which in the finest order and spirits
They want for neihing. The cause is really the
"Peqhie's canae" They are all soldiers 'ihe DO.
pulaiol have turned out sen maSse." Tieir office rs
those have fine noble fellows, and slmost
every distinguished for his services. They
have had wide field to act on and have really done
thelr duty as men and patriots. 1t is almost i'm
possible to be with them and not to feel lively
interest in their success. nation Of millions
achieving its independence, and becoming an en-
tlrely different people, Is too interesting to be
viewed coIdly. Much more has been effected than,
Ii could possibly be believes Spaniards were capa-
bic Of accomplishing" Holfotk Beacon.
The Bankrupt Bill has heen so discisiyely reiec.
ted, that there is prospect Of it being revived at
the present SESSION. at the next session, of
Congress. There must be radica. change in the
composition OF the House OF Representaves-such
as there is little reason to expect at present.
before the subject can be revived, with any hope Of
a result ditfersnt from that which has now taken
place. There is but little probability, it appears to
us, of the passage Of any law Of bankruptcy, that
can be of use to the present generation of men.
We see no remedy for this, but in an amendment
of the Constitution, restoring tothe states, respec-
lively, the powers in this respect which they pos
sessed before the adoption Of that Constitution Or
if this be denied, in the passage, by Congress, and
by every state in the Union, Of laws abolishnc i'm

BLUE LIeurs-A letter has been received at
Boston from Valparaiso, detailing conversation
between commodore Hardy of the British navy, and
captain Rldgely in which the British officer is made
to contradict the statement Of the burning Of 6iue

that COMMODORE Decatur saw these lights and they
were seen BY others Of undoubted veracity, were
the subjects OF common conversation and censure !;

RELIGION.

Frstn the lone watch tower, by the bowling
deep,
Where winds and waves their midnight rsvels
keep,
The feeble taper CLEANS along the tide,
And haply proves the wandering Seaman's
guide.
So, o'er the turbid flood of changeful life,
Even whose deepest Gains are deadly strife,
Religions light reflects cheerful ray,
TO guide poor mortals on their dangerous way,
When reason fails, and hope is well nigh Ger,
And close at hand impends tn eternal shore,
This the last refuge--she alone appears,
To calm their woes, and dissipate their fears;
This the sheet-anchor, which at length they
cast,
And in the haven safe they ride at last.
