The MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT IN
AMERICA.

FROM THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER
Our country has complained, often and Justly
Ut being misrepresented by vulgar and i'll bred
foreigners, whe had no access to proper means
of information as to our real character, and
who, if they had such access, could not have
availed themselves of il TO any iudicious our
pose. 1t is, therefore, a matter of real con
graduation, that four young Englshmeu, of
nndoubted respectabillitv-threeo of them mem
bers of the House of Commons-all of them
men of education, of good manners, and good
sens8, should have resolved to come and
inform themselves rs to- the condition and
character Of America. These gentlemen, no
doubt, too polite TO say a grea. deal here
after of the dark shades they may observe in
the picture Thep have not come among us
to pick M materials for an octave of SANDER
and ribaldry; nor to turn our hospitality into
farce; on the London stage. Neither can we
suppose that what favorable impressions they
may form TO be thrown into an opposite
kind of work But we NAV expect that thew
viii carry into the highest orders of English soci-
ety,and into Parliament, what never came there
before, correct notions of America formed bv
intelligent men, from personal observation
Mr.. Stanley is the grandson, and will in the
course of nature be the successor, of the Earl
of Derby. His father, Lord Stanley, is Mem
Der of the House of Commons, we believe, for
! lancashire, and Mr.. Stanley being Member
| the singular example of three generations being
at the same time in Parliament. Mr., Stanley
| though scarce 21 years of age, has, as. a Mem
her of the House of Commons, already given
| proof of the highest talents both for business
and debate; and is regarded as inferior in
promise TO no man of his time in England
| Mr.. Wartiey is the Member for Bossnney, a
small borough in the county of Cornwall, I'M
| der the influence Of the Earl OF Noun: Edge
| coInbe and Mr.. Stuart WoftIey, himself one OF
the county members for Yorkshire, and father
to Mr.. W0riley, now travelling in this country
| Mr.. Denuison is a Member of the House
and brother in law of the Speaker Mr.
| Lobouchere is the son Of gentleman well
known as one of the house of the Barings We
/ are much plessedto understand, that before he
left Boston, he purchased, for tho liberal
price Of twelve hundred dollars, the beautiful
| picture Of The Desert, of the most admi-
rabls creations of MIR, Alston's fine genius.
We understand that these four young gente-
mon, who are visiting our country as fellow
travellers, were fellow students at Oxford
Presenting themselves, as they do, with the
plain, unsssuming manners of real gentlemen
we hope they will every whore meet cordial
ald hospitable reception, and be treated with
the kindness to which their characters and
| objects so amply entitle them.

CONFEDERATION OF THE CAPITOL

On Thursday morning at half past seven, the
CRY of fire was heard in the streets. The State
House was on fire 4 small blaze was seen is
s'IiIg forth from nearthe summit of the building,
shooting up above the ball and vane, and fast
extending itself around the cupola In few
moments the cupola was wrapped in fanes
the roof and sides yet untouched. For mo-
ment this splendid edihce stood, to compare
great things to small like vast lighted lamp
the blazing cUpola shooting its vivid flames high
in the air In the mean time, the devouring
element was rapidly spreading among The com
bastibie materials of the attic story and beneath
the roof, through which it burst in a hundred
places
In less Than half an hour the timbers of the
roof began to fall in, breaking thro' the floors
and ceilings and falling into the apartments be-
low. The whole interior soon resemblcd a
roaring furnace. In less than two hours all
that was combustibe with plastering, brick and
stones, was reduced to pile of smoking rub
bsh
The walls which were Of brick, the chimnies
and the four columns of the portice are left
standing. A small part of the north wall only,
where tho windows were thick fell down.

chiefly raised by the voluntary contributions
Of the citizens OF Frankfort and IFS vicinity.
From the moment the fire was discovered
the impractcabilhy of saving the building was
obvious. The cuPola was above the reach Of
TIE fire engine. The few who being near,
found their way up into the cupola were with
out water, aud found the fire still above their
heads Before water could possibly be con-
veyed up. the whole cupola, so rapid was the
progress Of the flames, was in blaze.
The origin OF the fire was, no doubt, entirely
accidental Ken. Paper.
