DIFFICULTIES WITH ENeLAND.-We last
week suggested that the outrages on the Cana
da frontier, combined with the dispute about
our northeastern boundary, might lead to a con-
test with England. Since then we have seen
the following remarks of Hon. II. Clay in the
U. S. SENATE, which confirm our fears. Still,
it is most devoutly to be prayed, that an AMIGA
bile adjustment of these difficulties may be eff
fected, and that the two nations, which of all
others ought to be on the most friendly terms.
may not be involved in deadly struggle, which
can only result in evil to both parties and TO
the world.
Correspondence Of the N. Y. Express, June 81.
The North Eastern Boundary Bill was up in
the Senate. Mr. Clay being entitled TO the
floor addressed the Senate at some length on
the merits of the question, and said he had
been pleased with two things which had mani
tested themselves during this discussion the
first, the general sentiment that our claim to
the disputed territory was a just claim, and
one which should be enforced; and the second
the general wish that the amcable relations
between Great Britain and the United States
should be maintained. In both sentiments he
most heartily concurTed. He acknowledged,
however, that his fears were sometimes excited
relative to the latter wish, which was one near
his heart. The demands of Great Britain were
some of them so extensive and many of them
SO unjust and unwarrantcd, that such a condi-
ton of things often seemed impossible. Mr.
Clay then glanced cursorily at the character Of
our claim, and spoke with full knowledge of
the facts in the case and as an actor in many Of
the discussions identified with this question:
He spoke briefly of the boundary in dispute
the lines of demarkation-the character Of the
claim-and the conduct of the British Govern
ment, which he thought altogether unjust and
unwarranted. No Englishman Of honor, he
said, would set up such claim rs that set up
by the British Government, and in a court OF
Justice no man would present such claim, un-
funded in fact, unfounded in treaty. unfound-
ell in justice, and unlounded in the repeated
acknowledgements Of distinguished Representa-
tives of the British Government, both before
and after the treaty of 'S3.
Mr. Clay hoped the day would long be put
off when the United States should cease 10 he
at peace with Great Britain, and vet il would
not and ought not long TO be put off unless
Great Britain would listen TO the just and long
neglected claims Of our Government.
| The whole subject was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs.

FAUQUIER MCREA.---In noticing the fact
that it was this devoted and generous youth
who gave his place of safety to Judge Roches-
ter Of New York on that awful night when the
Pulaski was wrecked, the Norfolk Beacon pays
the following tribute to his memory
fsIt was Just such conduct as might have
been anticipated from the manly spirit of Nc
Rae. He first assisted Judge Cameron, before
he fell in with Judge Rochester. Judge Cam
eron did not succeed in reaching the wreck and
was lost. Judge R. was taken up by the boat,
and was lost in the surf as he attempted to
land. Both were denied the power of record
ing their gratitude to the heroic denial and
magnanimity of McRea. When it is recolec-
ted that McRae was in the prime of life, not
yet thirty, blessed with wealth and indulglng
the prospect of a long and happy life, how rea-
Oily might he have been excused, if, hurled by
aterrifc explosion from his bed into the sea, at
dead Of night. amid the shrieks of women and
children and groans Of the wounded, he had
thought Of his own safety, and left others, to
whom he was only bound by the ties Of human
ity, to shift for themselves? But this young
man was true to the promptngs of the most
cbivalric spirit, and spent his own life in the
attempt to rescue others. tits almost certain.
that had McRae clung to the settee, which ne
relinqushed to Judge Rochester, he would
have been rescued precisely as the Judge was;
and as he was young and vigorous, he might
have escaped with others when the Judge was
drowned on the beach. 1t was custom OF
Rome when citizen saved the life ofanother,
to present him with civic wreath; but how
much brighter and enduring ought that to be
which is destined for the brow of youth such
as Nc. who, under circumstances of extreme
peril, saved, for a time, the lives of two emf
nent citizens at the sacrifice of his own! His
to reflect that the object of their regard, esti-
mable as he was in life, covered himselfin the
hour Of death with impershable honor"

SINGULAR CASE OF SoMNAMBuLIsM.- a
late hour few nights back, Samuel Loder, a
watchman attached ocaptain Knapp's district,
heard the breaking of apane of glass in house
in Rivington street, and the next moment heard
two or three more panes of glass being broken
in the same house. Supposing some persons
were in the act Of committing a burglary, Mr..
Loder hastened to the house and beheld man
hanging by his hands from the window stool
Of the room of three story house, and kicking
furiously at the window beneath him, which
was the cause of the glass being broken. Mr..
Loder called loudly to the man, but received no
answer, and it immediately occcured to him
that he was somnambulist. He therefore
knocked at the door and a women shortly
came to one Of the windows, to whom Mr..
Lodef spoke in a low voice and told her to open
the door without loss Of time, which she did
accordingly. Mr.. Loder Then obtainsd the as
sistance Of two men and went up stairs softly
into the room and laid hold of the man and pull
led him in, and found that he was fast asleep.
After considerable time spent III rubbing him
and pulling his limbs, they succeeded in awake
ming him; he was Of course, totally unaware
of what had occurred. He however recolec-
ted that he had been dreaming, and imagined
himself walking through the back door into
the yard. Had he fallen from the place where
he was hanging he must in all human proba-
bility have been instantly killed, asindependent
