WisseS.--Thcrcsrc many Misses we Of

particularly desirable. Indeed, their room
is better than their company.
We hope. our fair readers will not Miss

one of the Misses people do not like to en-

the object desired.

THE d o WEALTH,

Addressed TO my little boy, who, on seer
rae weep at pecuniary misiortunes, brought
silver piece which had been presented to hi
and with tears in his eyes, said" Mother, u
shis do yos any good "
NAY, keep Thy gift my precious boy!
Ii but n drop would be
From the wide ocean of the wants
That are oppreasrE me.
But blessings or the tender heart
From whence the offering rose
Which lain would give It's little ALL
To soothe a mothers woes!
All! when I gaze on me- my child,
feel that wealth is mine
For gems oltle "frst watet" arc
Those g|uillloss tears of thine.
''Tis thy caress, my blessed one!
The hopes in thee bound tp,
That bid my hanks ascend TO Heaven
Der sorrows bitter cup.
And shall thy noble soul expand
To nanhood's ripcncd years!
And will a mother sorrow then,
Have power 10 move thy tears?
Then CONF - and whilst | fold thcc here,
Ny widowed heart ls hicst
Nor would | for a fortune sell
The "lcwcl' on my breast.

her the highest kind of enjoyment. No

DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENTS

On our first page our readers will find the first
state paper. since Mr. Webster's accession to the
mot, that has been communicated by him to
the public 1t will be read with ordinary in
terest AS such-as the first paper from the De-
partmen. of state to Congress evidence of the
ability with which he may be expected to fill the
high station which he occuples-this letter will
create deep interest, which will be very materi.
ally increased by the Importance Of the subject to
which il relates.
[Mr Fox's letter is omitted in the Caledonian,
for the reason that what he insists upon can be
plainly inferred from Mr. WIS reply.
The correspondence comprises two official letters
one from the British Minister to the Secretary Of
State, demanding the immediate release of Mcleod
GU the ground that the act with whch he is charged
was one committed under public and competent
authority, and for which therefore he cannot be
held personalIyresponsible second from theSecre.
tary OF State in reply, conceding the principle as
serted by Mr. Fox, but showing that the enforce
ment of that principle, in the at issue, does
not belong, in Its present stage, to the Govern
ment of the United States, but to the judicial tri
bunals which properly have cognizance of the
matter. sa
The communication of Mr. Fox has already
been made public in part; and the farther portion
now produced exhibits nothing of particular in
terest except the covert menace conveyed in the
last paragraph but two-which menace is answer
ed by Mr. Webster with dignifed, temperate, but
sufficiently explicit intimation of the confidence
entertained by the Government oftho United States
in Its ability to vindicate the national honor and
defend itself against aggression.
The Secretary of State repudiates the application
of the term "pirates" TO those American citizens
who took part in he,Canadan rebellions; showing
moreover, that abundant precedent for their con.
duct has been afforded by British Subjects and that
no imputaton whatever rests upon the Government
