Think OF TINS; gradual consumptlve decay
which awaits the commerce and agricnl-
ture of our country. Yet there is no defect
in our institut ions; we stand elevated in the
eyes of the world for capacity to produce.
When Russia wants to build vessel she
sends to New York, buys one of our vessels,
takes it homie and puts it on the stocks as a
model to build after. Does she want a steam
vessel, New York is the place that she sends
to for one. Is cotton factory wanted,
America furnishes it. Does Prussia want
mill to grind her grain with, she sends to
Rochester for it, and to Baltimore for an
engineer, and machinery. When Austria
wants 10 connective, she sends straight to
Philadeph ia to get one. When Egypt
wakes up from her Pharaoh-lke sleep, and
finds that her bull mills are not the best in
the world, she sends here for steam engine
When TIE xes wants machinery she sends to
Lowell nd Patterson for it. And even
England when England wants locomo-
tive, she sends to Philadelph ia-dear Phila.
delphia- ster Philadelphia, send one over
to US, 70 we can build nothing to equal it.
Laughter and applause.) OH then pro-

ture, pre- 'tect your manufactures, and when
you want spur to protective duty take

We say, then, put these gew-gaws and
things upon the same principle as you put
ours, and we'll take as many as you please;
and you take our beef. and pork, and grain
on the same footing. But no, says grand
mother England, our books on free trade,
are for you to read and obey, but not for us
to act u p to. We put it on to your tobac-
co; and by and by, when we get other coun-
tries to raise plenty of cotton, we'll tack it
on to that, and you may whistle and fiddle
till you're tired-we've got you! Great
cheering, and much discriminating laugh

Thus fve-sxths of the commerce of that
lake is in the hands Of your great rival. In
vain did Perry fight and conquer, if this is
the result. Again, at Cleveland, we find
that in one day 5000 barrels of -four, equal
to 10000 bushels of wheat, was sold, deliv-

AN INTERESTING SPEECH.

The Fair of the American Institute closed
in New York on the evening of the 2eth
ult. This was the 4th anniversary, and
was more prosperous and profitable than
any which had preceded it. At the close of
the exercises, the following address was de-
livered by Gen. TALLMADcE, President of
the Institute. 1t contains much valuable
matter in a small space, and we commend it
to the serious consideration of our readers.

FRIGHTFuL ADVENTURE OF SINNERS HoRsF
IN THE BoLAN Pass Camp Quetta, May 10
1S4l.-On the following evening we made
march of six miles TO Sir-i-Bolan, where WE
passed the night, intending to march TO Dust-i-
Budowit Us miles) in the morning; but finding
the party, men and animals, much fatigued with
their previous exertions, finally determined 10
give them till the afternoon to recruit themselves
We started therefore, at one, p M, and had
gone about two miles, when il came on to rain,
though not heavily. We had now reached the
narrowest part Of the pass, not more than TWEEN
ty or thirty yards wide, and had sent on 1000
Suwars, the came-men, and all the baggage,
with instructions to keep close together and
was bringing up the rear, with about eighty
horse, when, Just as entered the narrow pass,
and came to turn, saw body of water, about
foot deep, rushing round another turn with
tremendous force, and Immediately after another
wave full three feet higher. On the right and
left were no means of escape the rocks being
perpendicular so we went to the rght-about,
and galloped back, just reaching an accessible
place as the water was upon US. The
stream now rolled past with awful velocity,
and rapidly increased to ten feet in depth /;
then came dreadful scene-men. horses, ca
mels, &c, were swept past US, and water flew
twenty feet high No assistance could be af-
forded, for the stream ran faster than Il horse
could gallop stood upon the bank quite horror
struck, for believed that every one ahead of US
had persisted.
In few minutes the destruction was COM
plete and we felt like men cast upon desert
island, without particle of food, wet to the skin,
cold cutting wind blowing upon US, and no
means, from the nature of the country, Of as
pertaining the extent of our loss as, until the
water went down, all communication with any
of the party who might have been saved was
completely cut Off About sunset the water had
nearly subsidized. and then found how matters
stood, the loss of life was SO men and l01 ami
mails. We passed miserable night but no
more rain fell, and in the morning we pushed
on to one Of our outposts, which is about eight
miles from Dust-i-Budowlit, and about an equal
distance from our camp. Two officers Of the
Madras engineers, who were with us, have lost
every thing they had, and the Risallans have
been ruined; nor can they replace the things
lost here. We trusted to recover some of the
property in the morning before starting, but
found very little; for, such was the force of the
stream, that the matchocks belonging to the
men drowned had the barrels broken in two,
and some of the bodies were found by the dawk-
men at Beebe Mare, twenty miles below the
spot were the accident occurred The only
people IN the torrent who were saved, happened
at the time we met them to be near place where
they could scramble up. All the company's
camels but six were lost.

FROM THE LONDON BRITANNIA
A Constitutional Opposition-As there are
some people in the world whose natural obtuse-
ness ofintellect prevents them from reading with
any lively interest the Parliamentary debates,
and who cannot bring themselves to relish the
eloquence Of Ewart the wit of Williams, the
beauties OF Bowrlng, and the charity OF Golden,
ey en- in the reporters improved version OF their
harangues, we have, out Of pure compassion to
them, and to the fairer portion of our readers,
rolled dozen nights discussion into one short
column, in order that they may have some no
ton of what has been going on in the Legsla-
ture during the last three weeks. Of course,
we can only pretend to give the spirit Of the de-
bates We begin with the beginning:
Sir X. Peel Sir, in order to remove all doubt
as 10 the course which propose to pursue du-
ring the present session Of Parliament, take
this early opportunity of informing the House
that it is not my intention, at this late period of
the year, to do more than proceed with the ne
cessary business of Government, reserving I'M
Ill the next session all details as TO the policy !
shall pursue, and the particular measures pro
pose to Introduce ! am sure the House will
acknowledge the reasonabeness of allowing her
Majesty's present Ministers, after ten years alb
sence from office, some months time 10 acquire
exact official information TO the finances and
condition OF the country, and to thoroughly ma
ture and digest their measures before they sub
NIT them to this House.
Mr.. FILTERS. Sir, l am immeasurably asto-
nished at the declaration of the right honorable
Baronet. | do not see what any one can want
of time TO mature mea sures. Every member of
this House ought TO have set ready cut and
dried TO produce when called upon. When
saw the right honorable Baronet rise, | imagined
he was about TO propose a total repeal of the
corn laws. | now distinctly ask him. does he
intend to bring forward any measure on the sub
ject this session
Sir X. Peel Certainly do not.
Mr. Golden. Will the right honorable Baro-
net at once bring forward measures for making
all the mills in Manchester work full tme2
Sir X. Peel will not.
Mr. Hindley. Will the right honorable Baro-
net bring in bill 10 prevent there being any
distress in the country?
Sir. X. Peel. cannot. loud cries of "Oh,
oh, and derisive laughter from the Opposition.)
Lord J. Russell Sir, think need not assure
this House that her Majesty's government will ne
yer meet with any thing like iactious opposition
from me but this must say, that the right hon
orabe Baronct is wholly indefensible for having
held office for an entire fortnight without hav-
ing brought forward measures foi the relief oil
the country. He states he requires time Was
there ever any thing so absurd? Why, sir
there is scarcely single member on this side Of
the House that has not got the draug hi OF a new
constitution IN one coat pocket, an en- tirely new
system Of tariff in another, and piece of sponge
snugy put out of sight in his fob, to ise if occa

ON SEEING A YOUNG LADY CONFIRMED
AT CHURCH

in SEEING A YOUNG LADY CONFIRMEl
AT CHURCH.
The matin bells have pealed the hour
To summon holy hearts TO prayer;
And beauty owns religions power,
And pays her sdoration there.
The temple of the Lord is still
A halo round its priest 10 shed;
And glory beams from Zion's hill,
10 crown with light his hallowed head.
Hush'd now the organs deep ton'd note,
The vocal sounds Of music cease;
And only inward breathings float
Towards the azure throne Of peace.
Before that altar humbly kneels
The fairest of the work Of heaven;
And mercy TO her heart reveals
The promise Of salvation given.
Confrm'd at truths eternal shrine,
A member Of the house Of God,
Her robe is spotless and divine
Her feet are with salvation shod.
Oh if in heaven, above the rest,
One joy a brighter ray Afford
lis when woman's virtuous breast,
The cross she beareth Of her Lord
And best art thou, whose soul from earth
And earthly thoughts itsefhas freed
Received in Christ thy second birth,
And won of faith the glorious need.

MoTHERLY LovE.-Last among the charac-
teristics of woman is that of the sweet mother
ly love with which nature has gifted her !;
it is almost independent of cold reason and
wholly removed from all selfish hope of reward
Not because it is lovely, does the mother love
her child, but because il is living part of her
self-the child of her heart, fraction of her
own nature. Therefore, do her entrails yearn
over his waings her heart beats quicker at his
joy her blood flows more softly through her
veins, when the breast at which he drinks knits
him TO her. In every interrupted nation of the
EARTH this feeling is the same. Climate, which,
changes every thing else, changes not that 1t
is only the most corrupting forms of society
which have power gradually to make luxurious
vice sweeter than the tender cares and tolls of
maternal love.
In Greenland, where the climate affords no
nourishment for infants, the mother nourishes
her child up to the third or fourth year of his life
She endures from him all the nascent indica-
tons of rude and domneeIing spirit of man
hood, with indulgent, all-forgiving PATIENCE
The negress is armed with more than manly
strength when her child is attacked by savage
beasts. We read with astonished admiration
the examples of her machless courage and con
tempt Of danger But if death robs that tender
mo her, whom we are pleased TO call a savage,
Of her best comfort-tbe charm and care Of her
eyistence-where is the heart that can conceive
her sorrow2 Read the lament of the Nado-
wassee woman on the loss of her husband and
her infant son. The feeling which it breathes
is beyond all expression. Herder; Mrs Aus
