TO Hope.

Come gentle Hope! and with thy siren
smile,
Bid the sad forms of fear and grief depart
Sing, if thou wilt, and thus my thoughts
beguile,
From the compainings ofan aching heart.
! would not have thee come to me, enshrin-
In dear illusions, dazzling, bright, as erst
Thou did'st, when Fancy's radiance en-
twined
Hopes garland with the wreath of Love,
at first.
No sweet enchantress, no! for visions
Fallacious, far, less fondly false, will
soothe
The cherished wishes that have failed to
bless,
And make the rugged walks of life seem
smooth.
But let me hear once more thy voice benign,
Whisper, for me some pleasures yet in
Store;
That Friendships tear-her conference.-the

I'll worship at thy shrine, nor sigh for

Rail ROADS. In few days, the books
will be opened for subscription 10 the
Harlaem and New Haven Railroad, and
books are now open for Vermont and
Massachusetts Railroad, the subscription
10 which exceeds half million. The
former Of these enterprises will doubtless
aid the Worcester and Western lines, and
will command considerable amount OF
travel but the latter will open 10 this city
the rich valies of Vermont and the trade
of Canada, and the effect of it upon the
commerce of Boston will probably exceed
that of the Western Road.
Ittraverses a region full of freights and
manufactures, and will turn nearly the
whole trade of Vermont and Canada TO

SENSATION. A love of mental sensas
ton is the fundamental principle Of hu-
man nature from that all our passions
spring. All mankind are equally in
search of vivid sensations. The young
seek them in love; the old, in avarice,
the princes, in war; the people, in sedi-
ton; the Christian in original plans Of
benevolence.

ment containing the treaty relative to the annexation
OF Texas, with the accompanying papers submitted
to the Senate together with your subsequent
pondence with Mr.. Pakenham.
have delayed acknowledging the receipt Of these
most important papers TO this, the last day Of writing
by the steamer, In the expectation that some COM
munication might be made to me the subject by
Lord Aberdeen, TO be transmitted to you. This,
however is not the case.
You will perceive, by the papers Of this morning.
that some conversation arose in the House of Lords
last evening in reference to the treaty, occasion
Of question put by Lord Brougham to Lord Aber-
deem. Lord Brougham assigned as reason for his
inquiry, that the conversation between Lord Aber-
deem and himself on the 18th Of August last had
been las he gathered from the documents which had
appeared IN the papers, deemed highly Significant by
the Government Of the United States and stated
that il was far from bis intention, in wba, he then
said to counsel any interference with slavery as ex-
ising in the Uoted States.
Lord Aberdeen was very reserved in his reply -
lie stated that the annexation Of Texas raised CUES
tory Of public law, which demanded AMI would re.
ccive the earliest and most serious attention Of Her
Msjesty's Government There doubt that
the treaty was signed, but he shared with Lord
Brougham the lope and belief that it would not be
ratified but It was impossible 10 speak with conf
dence on such point
The question TO which Lord Aberdeen referred as
new and unexsmpled in the history Of public law
was no, stated by him, but, from the remarks with
which Lord Brougham commenced, as reported in
this mornings papers, may be inf ed to be the e.
feet of union between two separate independent
States their previously existing relations with
other Powers
In reply to a further question from Lord Brough-
am, Lord aberdeen said that the explanation which
he had made Of their conversation On the 18th OF
August had been correctly reported by me- "a matter
Of necessity may observe, with the precauon which
took Of submitting the memorandum to HI, inspeo-
ton, and lba, he had confirmed II in despatch to
Mr.. Pskenhem, abiding, apps-sptly to that Of the
2s,h Of December, Ista, Of which copy was fur

that the steamar which sails tomorrow Will take OUT
