Handsomely Done.

A letter from Lexington. Ky, to gentleman
in this place, speaking of Mr.. Clay, snys:
"IIe (Mr. Clay) has been largely in debt, but
within the last week his cni,ro Indebtedness.
(amoun,ng to near S20,OOo) was cancelled. and
his notes delivered to hun from tho Bank! The
great man was deeply atfectcd and asked who had
done this thing. .Wo know not, was the reply,
the money was deposited to your credit and your
notes arc cancelled. II need not concern you
who did il; it not your enemies. '-Soncr-
villc Reporter.
As this matter has boon mado the subject of
invidious comment in journals hostile to Mr..
Clay, wo shall not now violate any confidence by
stat ting tho facts moro clearly. The truth is this:
Mr.. Clay, who has not, for many years. incurred
norowcd a deb, on his own account, had involved
himself BY endorsing for a relative who becnmc
deeply embarrassed and failed. Tho debts camc
upon Mr.. Clay TO such an extent that his proper
" mus. have been swept away TO pay thom.
Tho circumst ansGs camo TO tho knowledge OF
somo of Mr.. Clay's Political friends and ADM rers
(few of whom know him p,rsonally,) and they
quietly subscribed the sum nacessary to relieve
him from embarrassment. The first in,imntion
he had of it was by the return of his cancelled
no;es.-N. Y. Tribune.

dicates a vast saving 10 the Government for mail

We arc informed that the reduced price at
which the contracts havo been made Is oc'

Under tho existing laws, all the mails upon the
principal routes required 10 bs carried IN stage

expense Of the mail service but 1t affords greater
security to the mails, and contributes largely to
the public convenience, by securing tho regular

throughout the country. The new arrangement
is therefore, after all. Of questionable utility.

"THERE WAS SILENCE IN HEAVEN"
Can angel spirits need repose,
In the full sunlight of the sky?
And can the veil of slumber close
A cherubs bright and blazing eye?
Have seraphims a weary brow,
A fainting heart and aching breast!
No, far too high their pulses fow,
To languish with nglorious rest. #
How could they sleep amid the bliss,
The banquet of delight above!
Or bear for one short hour to miss
The vision of the Lord they love?
Oh! not the death-like calm of sleep
Could hush the everlasting song:
No fairy dream nor slumber deep,
Entranced the rapt and holy throng.
Yetnot the lightest tone was heard,
From angel voice or angel hand,
And not one plumed pinion stirred
Among the bowed and blssful band.
For there was silence in the sky,
A joy no angel tongues could tell,
As from its mystic point on high
The peace Of God in stiffness fell.
Oh! what is silence here below?
The quiet Of concealed. despair. 4..-,.-..
The cause pain, the dream of wo--
1t is the rest of rapture there.
And, to the way-worn pilgrim here,
More kindred seems that perfect peace
Than the full chaunts of joy to hear
Roll on, and never, never cease.
From earthly agonies set free,
Tired with the path too slowly trod
May such silence welcome me
Into the palace Of my God!

DEATH or THE HON. ISAAC c. BATES.

DEATH OF THE HON. ISAAC c. BATES.
After the Journal was read in the Senate to-day,
MIR. STURGEON arose and announced the arri-
val OF bis colleague, the Hon. SIMON CAMERON, who,
he said, prepared take the usual oath, (viz
to support the Constitution of the United States.)

nator from the State of Massachusetts, departed this
life at bis lodgings, in this city, at twenty min
utes past six O'Clock yesterday evening and having
reached the end of his earthly pilgrimage he had
gone to another and better world.
The character of the deceased was portrayed in a
manner simple, unaffected, and eloquent; and Mr.
Webster during the delivery of the remarks applica
BILE TO his late friend had frequent occasion pause
and weep. Although profound silence prevailed in
the Senate Chamber, many of his words were denied
an audible utterance by his emotions Of sorrow
Mr.. HUcER availed himself of the occasion to ex-
press his deep regret at the melancholy event. and
bear testimony to the uprghtness, honor intelligence
and urbanity of his departed friend.

COMMUNE At Ed.

the weather prevented many from attending who

the weakness incident To sickness Of several
weeks duration disabled her from giving her enter

only accompany health. Her talents as a READER
are admitted to be of the highest orders her charac
ter spotless and unbemshed, and, altogether it may
truly be sand that no person more deserving their
support, or more meritng their favor has ever ap-
pealed to the good taste, and the generous sympa-
thies Of the People of this METROPOLIS.
The Ladies of Washington arc particularly an
pealed to this OCCASION to sustain one who, with
more than all her sexs weakness, had The moral
courage to defend herself against the gross insults Of
a man powerful in physical strength in wealth and
influence. Hence all the annoyances which have
pursued her. Her apology even to the most scrupu.
ous for resorng to physical force will be found in the
extraordinary circumstances Of the case, and in the
fact that she is ORPHAN, without male relative 10

Her only companion, Of whom she is the only stay
and support, is her widowed mother Whenever
and wherever Miss Clarendon has ectured during her
heretofore brilliant career the public journals have
unanimously awarded to her the highest praise, and
proclaimed her TO be honor to her sex and to her
country. Tho patronage OF tho public is solicited not
on account Of tho peculiar embsrrsssments in which
sickness and prosecutions have involved her, but on
account of her high order Of intellect end her superb
