OBITUARY.

Departed this life, in Philadelphia, on the l4th in
slant, after lingering illness, Miss LOUISA FELICE
PULIZZl, native of this city
Melancholy as is the tribute, it is still one of affec-
ton to shed tear over the memory of departed
worth; for though times passage may sooth the
wounds that the departure of loved one creates,
the present calls for some balm to heal the harrow
ing feelings Of afflicted relatives and friends. In af
ter time this brief notice may be looked at with sad,
yet pleasant eye and retrospecton's flowers, bud
ding forth in beauty and brightness will bloom in the
imagination around the Eden of Heaven, where hope
whispers the departed spirit resides The dove with
pure plumage and eye, that dwells amid those
fields too often seeks in this dull sphere guieess
spirit whose aspirations float above those of common
humanity and long to float in the incense OF the bless
ed towards the harbor of eternal bliss.
Those that are left here, however, pause not to
think of aught but their loss, and seldom ven-
tlre to calculate on the gain-the eternal gain-of
those they weep for. Were the mourners of the de-
ceased for moment calmly to consider this their
tears would be tears Of Joy and their prayers those
Of gratitude 1t true that the present occasion calls
for serious and melancholy thoughts but these should
be such as to guide in the path of our deceased
friend Like her. we should endeavor to cultivate
those virtues which adorn our nature, by obtaining,
as she did the love and affection of abby eXercis
ing those traits of character which makes man akin
to angels and relying the merits Of our beloved
Redeemer, lay up crown for ourselves hereafter
! Of her last moments, we may truly say,
In peaceful sumber, she retired
| Like a river pure
The Church has lost in her regular and faithful
communicate her aged parent loving and afec-
tionate daughter; and she will long be missed from
the household hearths of numerous brothers. sisters,
and friends.
Thou art gone to the grave but will not deplore
thee,
Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardian and guide !;
He gave thee--he took thee-and he will restore
thee :--
Death hath no sting-for thy Savior hath died"

INTERPRETATION.

Information has been, as we learn, received
at the Department Of State, that the Belgian
Chamber of Deputies has passed law autho-
rizing the. payment of eight millions of francs
for losses caused by the late Belgian Revou-
ton These losses include of course the mer-
chandise, belonging to American merchants, de-
stroyed in the citidal at Antwerp.
We hear also that the British Government
have acceded TO the justice Of the claim prefer
red by the United States Government on behalf
of the owners Of the brig Tigris, for the capture
and detention of that vessel on the coast Of
Africa.

than usually excellent this month, Judging from a
hasty glance at its stable Of contents" We have not
the time to bestow upon it much notice it really
deserves, but in few words would recommend it to
all who are fond Of sound and solid literature The
work can be had from any date, at Hampton's Agen-
cy, on the Avenue, between Sd and Al streets.

NEW METALLIC PENS.-W. FISCHER has

Josiah Hayden & Co., 100 gross Of their Metallic

err carrying heavy guns yet adapted for shoa water
to allow them to enter the Patapsco, The Paiux-
en, the Potomac, and other rivers and to guard the
entrances Of those important streams. A series OF
Ell eimenis TO ascertain the proper form, size and
construction of such vessels might be with proprety
commenced Immediately. Some time and perhaps Sc
veral attempts would be requisite order attain the
desired ends But every experiment would teach
something-and something which cannot be learned
without experiments.
Another idea may be here suggested. We see
how steadily and perseveringly the British government
is going on in the work Of strengthening her steam
marine. Ii we should be compelled into war with
England it would he chiefly maritime war and 10
such issue Great Britain is probably looking one
has adopted policy for this purpose by adding to
the number and efficiency of her war steamers-that
IL TO say she has united with companies Of private IN
dividuals for building and keeping afoat extensive
lines Of powerful steam ships to be used in time OF
peace for purposes OF trade and for the conveyance OF
passengers and ais the ocean, yet adapted In
all respects for walke whenever occasion shall
arise for their employment in that way Now, what
should prevent the adoption of similar policy by his
government in respect to the coastwise communication
between our chief cities the Atlantic seaboard and
the Gulf of Mexicol We could have mail steamers
running regularly from Portland and touching at Bos
ton, New York, Norfolk Charleston, Savannah, Mo-
bile and New Orleans, with others connecting there
with and communicating with Philadelphia and Bal
timore-the points ofconnecon being at the Delaware
Breakwater for the one city and Hampton Roads for
the other These steamers would constitute the best
kind of Home Squadron; they would partially pay
their expenses, and thus be of little cost to the
government beyond that of construction; and they
might be made, like the British mail steamers ready
at any time to receive ornaments board and htted
forthwith for An excellent school would thus
be provided for the instruction of our officers in the
efficient management of steam vessels "a species OF
skill which every day becoming of vast importance,
and which cannot well be acquired without training.

THE FUNERAL OF THE HONORABLE
JOSEPH LAWRENCE.

The Committee of Arrangements, pall-bear-
ers, and mourners, attended at Mrs Sprigg's,
the late residence Of the deceased, at eleven
o'clock yesterday morning. at which time the
corpse was removed, in charge Of the Commit
tee Of Arrangements, attended by the Sergeant
alarms of the House of Representatives, to
the Hall of the House. At twelve o'clock, M.
the funeral service was performed by the Rev.
Septimus Tuston, the Chaplain to the Senate,
and he delivered an eloquent, appropriate, and
affecting sermon, from Hebrews, xi, 24-'5-" BY
faith Moses, when he was come to years, refus-
ed to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter
choosing rather TO suffer affection with the peo-
pie of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin
for a season."
The procession was then formed, and pro
ceeded to the Congressional Burial Ground.
In addition to the relatives and friends of the
deceased, the members and officers of the two
Houses, the President and Heads of the De-
partments, the Commanding General of the

ment, etc. the funeral was attended by large
concourse of citizens and strangers.

tract from the instructions of the British Gov
eminent to Mr.. Buchanan, the packet agent at
New York 1t will be seen that the rumors in
re,a,ion to the carriage of letters between Anne
rcan ports, was without foundation.
The Postmaster General in a communication
to Congress, very explicitly placed in its posses
sion full information on the subject.
''You will be careful not to interfere with any local
Post Office regulations; such interference is con-
templated in the proposed arrangements, which must,
of course be subject to the Post Office regulations
already existing at foreign places"

tract, which is contained in my instructions which
