The following proceedings took place IN the
Mexican Chamber Of Deputies on the 18th Of
April:
"Sr. Gonzales Angslo said-'I have The no.
nor TO inform the House, on the par: OF Mr.
Poinseu, Minister Of the United States OF the
North, that dispatches from his government
reached him last night, containing information
that, conformably TO resolution of the Con-
gress of those States, deputies had been APP
pointed to the Congress Of Panama. This IN
telligence appears to me worthy Of the attention
Of the Chamber, because it is now seen by an
inconlrovertible fact that the United States are
our natural friends, and tina, the American con-
federation being strengthened by the concur
renee and interest Of so powerful and res2ecta-
bic a people, the attempts which impotent
Spain, or the ambitious league Of European de-
spots, may make to reduce US 10 the Spanish
yoke, are rendered more impossible

Yesterday morning, between twelve and one,
a lire was discovered in a two story wooden
building, on Anthony's wharf, belonging to Mr..
Cyrus Butler The flames were well under way
when first seen, and soon extended to the adj
joining buildings, Gall of which were of wood, J
and were not subdued until three stores, shed,
and large quantity of very valuable property
were consumed, estimated at $4,000.
In the store where the fire originated, was
large quantity Of iron and some India goods,
belonging to Mr.. Butler, the latter of which
were consumed The next was valuable three
story building owned by Mr. David Anthony,
whose loss is probably severer than that Of any
other individual, say 5000 dollars This store
contained 2lo bales of cotton, belonging to
Messrs. Hezekiah Anthony, Amasa Mason,
William Bowers, the Plain6eld Union Manu-.
featuring Company, Troy manufacturing Com
pany, and Asa Potter, which was totally lost.
A part OF the store was occupied by Mr.. J. .
Potter, who suffered the loss Of many of his pa
pers, (he being out Of town. about 40 hhds.
molasses, IS do. goldfish, a quantity of coffee,
&c In the same building were 100 casks lime,
quantity Of lead pipe, and other articles be-
longing to Messrs. Hardness & Stead, and two
valuable newly constructed presses for hay and
hsh, belonging tod. Anthony, which were de-
stroyed. To this building was attached pair
OF hay scales. The third store consumed was
owned by MIR. Cyrus Barker, containing guam
tity of hollow ware belonging to Mr. B. which
with the building, makes his loss about s 500.
The upper part was occupied as a sail loft by
Mr.. John Colon, whose individual loss was not
great. The loft however, contained suits of
sails belonging to Messrs. S. & A. Arnold,
worth 5 500; also suits belonging 10 Messrs.
p s D. Rhodes, John D. Potter, David Cady,
and others, which were consumed A guam
tity of salt and tar, belonging to Messrs. Hunt
& Pierce, whose loss is estimated at 5000, was

Beholding ev'n sparrow's falls
Who made the world, and gave to man
Earth's blessing, and RedemPtion's plan;
Who wisheth not the wretched sinners death,
But rather he repent ere fails his breath.
Ho sang the faithful christians trust
Of resurrection from the dust
The SOULS fond hope in bliss to be
Through boundless, bright eternity!
Reclnng-one last strain he gave,
Sweet, yet most solemn, slow and grave

Upon mountains brow the food
Ofocean laved its base; his eye
Was land-ward turn'd | could descry

A Siinstrcps simple garb he wore,
Fasten'd with eagie-eiasp befOre'
An "oRrkSrAL Harp" wash his hand
He swept the strings, and haild his "Natye Land!'

of Liberty's enliv'ning fame;
Of heroes, virtuous, firm, and brave,
Now resting in the silent grave;
of NEIL who in their country's need,
Dared to subscribe heightened deed,
Claiming the nat'ral rights of man
For all and each American: dome,
He sang "MY Country" blest meath Freedoms
s'The Exile's refuge, and the Strangers home"
He sang the gallant sons of sea,
Hardy and fearless, bold and free;
Patient in Gains, and cool when storms
The foaming mountain billow forms;
Who, DER the deep, their path explore
To Greenland's ice-to India's shore;
Displaying in each port afar,
The flag where spangleth many star;

And glory of the West, beside
Whom other patriots seem the less,
And kings shrink into nothingness;
Whose life was active, and whose hallow'd grave
Claims the tear.tribute of the wise and brave.
He sang of PERRY and his pow'rs,
Who met the foe and "they ,cere ours"
of Cocks, whose spirit high aspired.
Laid low when Moro's guns were fred:
Of just and upright WILLIAM PENN,
Example for his fellow men;
Whose peace was Virtues sweet reward,
Who even the Indian tribes regard,
Whose Christian principles forbid to hold
One slave, OF barter rectitude for gold.
He sang Of Spain, poor feeble Spain,
Writing within the bigot's chain;
Mere shadow of once proud land
Ruled by the "ingrate Ferdinand"
OF Ireland, oceans sweetest isle,
In misery Astounding, while
