body--to befriend none-to get everything,

pissed for some twenty or thirty years, and
riches will come as sure as disease and dis
appointment.
Poverty has in large cities very different
appearances. 1t is often concealed in spien-
dor, and often in extravaganza. 1t is the
care Of very great part of mankind to con-
ceal their indigence from the rest. They
support themselves by temporary expedi-
ents, and every day is lost in contriving for
tomorrow.

The BosToN AND LIVERPOOL STEAM
Sulps.--Mr. Cunard, the enterprising pro-
prietor of the line of steam ships to run be-
tween Boston and Liverpool, via Halifax,
has arrived in town. He came passenger
to New York, in the British Queen.
Ha has determined, MS we are informed,
that the large boats of his line shall run, be-
tween Liverpool and Boston, merely stop
ping at Halifax some two hours, to dis
charge freight and passengers. Of these
boats he has fur now building at Glasgow
each of 1860 tons, with engines of 46O horse
power. They are upwards of 200 feet long
and 45 feet wide. He has two smaller boats
building for the purpose of keeping up q
communication between Pictou and Que
bee.
What Mr.. Cunard asks of The Bostonians
is, that they should provide him with n
wharf at winch his vessels may be safely
moored while in this city. Such wharf,
it issupposcd, will cost from forty to fifty
thousand dollars. The committee appointed
some time since for that purpose, are taxing
measures, we believe, to collect the necessa.
ry amount. We cannot have doubt oI
their speedy success. 1t is not to be sup.
posed, that our merchants will hesitate a
moment about securing TO themselves the
great advantage of a semi monthly st cam
packet communication with England. 1t
was the establishment of regular lines oil
packets between New York and Liverpool
that first led to the great concentration Of
the foreign trade in that city, We ought
to improve the present opportunity of re-
gaining our fair share Of that trade.
Mr., Cunards line is to commence It's trips
on the lst of May next. In point of steam
ships we shall then stand on par with
New York. We shall have four, and for
some time to come, she is not likely to have
a greater number. - Boston .1tLas.

The question Of the power OF the TO-
vernon Of Illinois to remove, at plea
sure, the Secretary of State, has been deer
ded by the Supreme Court Of Illinois against
the power of the Governor.
During the last session Of the Illinois Legs
lature, Governor Carlin, thinking to turn
MIR. A. p. Field, the Secretary Of State, out
Of Office, nominated in his place Mr.. J. A.
McCIernand. The nomination was laid be-
fore the Senate. but that body decided that the
Governor had no right to create vacancy by
by turning out Mr.. Field. A bitter contrOVer-
sy ensued between theSenate and his Excel
lency, and was kept up during the rest Of the
session. After the adjournment. the Governor
again assumed the prerogative Of appointing
Mr.. McClernand to the Secretaryship, and
that individual attempted to take possession o:
the keys and papers, but Mr.. Field refused to
give them up. The case was brought before
the Circuit Court, which decided that Mr..
McCIernand was actually the Secretary.
Field appealed to the Supreme Court and
that tribunal the highest in the State, hasnow
reversed the decision of the lower Court, and
decided that Field is the Secretary.
