A number of documents were transmitted with

sAt the time when the subject of the proposed
Occupation OF the Columbia river, was presented 10
the consideration of Congress- at their last session,
the minister of Great Britain at two several inter-
views with the Secretary OF State, suggested that
Great Britain had claims in the North West Coast
of America with which he conceived that such oc-
cupaton, on the part of the United States would
conflict; and requested to be informed what were
the intentions of the government of the U States
in this respect. The Secretary of State declined
answering those enquiries or discussing those claims

PROM THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW.


The poem which we are about to transcribe, is on
subject often treated; and no wonder sit would
e hard to find another, which embraces so many oil
ne elements of poetic feeling; so soothing mig
lre OF pleasant melancholy and pensive hope such
assembage OF the ideas of tender beauty, OF art
sss playfulness, ofsportess purity, oftransent yet
nPerIshaole brightness OF affections wounded but
OF IN bitterness, of sorrows gently subdued of eter
al happiness. We know so little of the heart oil
nan, that when we stand by the grave of hin whom
re deem most excellent, the thought of death will
e mingled with some awe and uncertainty ;but the
racious promise of scripture leaves no doubt as to
ne blessedness of departed infants; ard when we
nink what they now are and what they might have
cen; what they now enjoy, and what they might
ave suffered, what hey have now gained, and
that they might have lost; we may, indeed. learn to
blow them; but we must be selfish indeed to wish
he IN again constrained to dwell in these tenement
t pain and sorrow The Dirge of Child, which
blows, embodies these thoughts and feelings, but in
more beautiful order and language,
No bitter tears for thee be shed
Blossom of being seen and gone!
With flowers alone we strew thy bed,
o blest departed one
Whose all of life, rosy ray,
Bushed into dawn and passed away.
Yes, thou art gone ere guilt had power
To stain thy cherub soul and form;
Closed is the soft ephemeral flower
That never felt storm
The sun-beam's smile, the zephyr's breath,
All that it knew from birth to death.
Thou vast so like form Of light,
That heaven bengnly called thee hence,
Ere vet the world could breathe or blight
Der thy sweet innocence;
And then that brighter home to bless
Art passed with all thy loneliness.
o hadst thou still on earth remained,
Vision of beauty, fair as brief,
How soon thy brightness had been stained
With passion, or with grief!
Now not sullying breath can arise
To dim thy glory in the skies.
We rear no marble Ger the tomb,
No sculptured image there shall mourn,
All filter for the vernal bloom
Such dwelling to adorn;
Fragrance and flowers and dews must be
The only emblems meet for thee.
Thy grave shall be blessed shrine
Adorned with natures brightest wreath,
Each glowing season shall combine
Its incense there to breathe;
And oft upon the midnight air
Shall viewless harps be murmuring there
And oh ! some times in visions blest,
Sweet spirit visit our repose,
And bear from thine own world of rest,
Some balm for human woes;
What form more lovely could be given
Than thine, to messenger of heaven.

Dr. Hough, late BISHOP OF Worcester,
was remarkable for sweetness of temper, as
well as every other Christian virtue; of
which the following story affords proof.
a young gentleman, whose family had
been well acquainted with the bishop, in
making the tour of England before he
went abroad, called to pay his respects to
his lordship as he passed b, his seat in the
country. 1t happened to be at dinner
time, and the room full of company. The
bishop, however, received him with much
familiarity; but the servant, in reaching
him chair, threw down curious weather
glass that had cost twenty guineas, and
broke it. The gentleman was under very
great concern, and began to make an apol-
! ogy for being himself the occasion of the
accident; when the bishop with great good
nature interrupted him. s'Be under no
concern, sir,' said his lordship, smiling,
''for am much beholden to you for it.
We have had very dry season; and now
| hope we shall have rain. I never saw
the glass so lou in my life." Every one
was pleased with the humor and pleasant
ry of the turn; and the more so, as his
lordship was then more than eighty, time
of life when the infrmities of old age make
most men peevish and hasty.
