THE LAST SCENE.

One Of the affecting incidents Of the in,ermen
of our late veneraed Chief Magistrate occurred at the
moment those who had deposited his remains in the
vault assembled from il. His devoted friends, Gov
Chambers and Col. Todd stepped from the family
circle OF mourners-descended into the vault-stood
By his coffin. Thus, il were literally descending
into the grave with the by whose side they had
stood in the field Of battle in the hour Of deadly con
aict 10 whose support and aid, in the day of his al
versily they had rallied ia the feelings Of their al &C.
ton, with unfinching irmness and untiiing zeal
None had rejoiced more sincerely in his triumph or
participated largely in his confidence They
watched him with than brotherly affection
in health-stood by his bedside and administered TO
his wants in his last his eyes in death
-mourned over his feless body and descended with
il TO the place Of final rest The manly tears which
stood upon their faces they assembled from the vault
bespoke their consciousness that their intercourse with
the friend they loved had closed forever
This affecting example of Gov Chambers and Col
Todd was Immediately followed by the relatives of the
deceased by Presidents Tyler and each of his Cabi-
net, and by Elk President Adams, and some others
who were present. Need picture the moral sublimity
of the scene AN EYE WITNESS

hueniial, as is he of the Richmond Enquirer To
US it would seem to be most unjust and unwise per
version Of public sentiment and public policy that
should systematically exclude from all share Of public
patronage whole corps of men whose peculiar duty
and high province it is to diffuse wholesome intei
genee and 70 encourage and do honor to virtue and
patriotism While the hand it would be 4

well impoli,ic, than to put tn whole fraternity
under the ban of prescription because they have chosen
business or pursuit which demands the devotion Of
all their time and beat faculties the discussion and
guardianship of all the great interests of their country
Nothing truly could be more malappropos than to
place editors of daily party Newspapers in particular
local offices which might confer on them undue adj
vantages in their business Iival establishments
but that objection does not apply in like that Of
Mr.. Hall, where the duties TO be rendered and the
station to be filled necessarily remove him, not only
from the press but to foreign country far away from
the strife of party where distance may well be suppos-
ed wipe out all traces of the animostes which party
begets leaving in the mind and heart of the incum-
bent no sentiment but anxiety and ambition to serve
and do honor to 4" my own, my native land, whoever
may be its rulers.
Mr.. Hall is gentleman remarkable for moral worth
and intellectual force of urbane and concatory
ners discreet in his personal department. and free
in his editorial from the harshness and acrmony
which, all Sides characterize too many partzan
journals, to have obtained for him the respect of
those who most opposed to him in political views
and opinions. Although it is known that he did not
seek the place which has been conferred on him,
any diplomatic employment, the true question was
doubtless asked by the Administration, TO wit Is lie
qualified for the trust To have asked in regard 10

UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN
The following took place in the British House
OF Lords on the Sth of March:
DISPUTE WITH AMERICA.

- AIoius vi tHe OlH OF NIaTCn
DISPUTE WITH AMERICA
The Earl of Mountcashell said he rose to nut n
question to the noble viscount opposite respec,ing
some information which had, il appeared been lust
received from America, and which of great i'm
porance to this country. That intelligence he nm
derstood, had created great sensation in the CITY
and had caused fall in the price of the public funds
He alluded to report from the committee of foreign
relations, made on the 18th Of last month"; TO Con
gTess, and he wished to know whether any confr-
nation as TO the document in question being official
had been received by Her Maesty's Ministers 2 II
was not his intention, the present occasion TO sub
INIT to their lordships any motion on the subject as
ne was most desirous not to cause greater division
between the two Governments than that which un-
fortunately now existed But when report such
as that to which he had referred was promulgated
1t was proper that they should receive information as
to its authenticity. For his own part he tbouobt 4,
could not be genuine He believed that il must be
an INVENTION and there many persons who
would be glad to propagate such report for stock
Jobbing objects He felt very great doubts as to the
authenticity OF this report, and why because,
aware of the good understanding Of the inhabitants
of the United States, he could not think that they
would maintain such doctrines
He was convinced that if the inhabitants of the
United States would but consider-if they would
look around TO the situation Of their own finances
if they would rccoect that there were 1900 600 of
negro slaves in their country, and great body of In
dams In the back settlements, who might be induced
IN consequence of the wrongs they complained of to
take part in the contestif they cast their eyes
wards Canada, where there loyal a set of men
as any in the empire, and asked Had they not the
power OF getting into ther hands individuals belonging
to the United States land also il they recollected
the very large body Of regular troops that we had in
Canada, and the efficient naval force which was now
al our disposal IN consequence OF the Eastern ques-
ton being setted-they would il thew considered
these points, anxiously abstain from hosiies They
were calculating people, and they would see thai
they must sustain an immense loss by such an event
For these reasons he was of opinion that the docu
ment was not true one lie therefore asked the no
Bile viscount whether Her Majesiys Ministers had 70.
ceived any official information respecting this report
Under all the circumstances, he felt that he was per
iectly justified in putting this question. The repor
had appeared in tho public papers, and il was neces-
sary that some information should be afforded respect
