There is perpetual ice mountain in

five hundred feet high, covered with mass
of loose porous stone, by removing which,
pure crystal ice can always be found. The
ice is protected from external heat by .he

universal feeling expressed in favor Of the
Removal Bill, from all paris of the county.

jocng at the speedy termination of This long

out Of Danvile. The mos, of them in

mournlul lone, as if the hope avowed by
the lips, had no existencesin the heart. We
feel warranted in predicting, from the
smiling countenances Of all, and The 10Y
manifested by them, that our former eslimal-
ed majority for the bill of 800 will be
increased TO nearly 1000, But let not this

WILLIAM c.. BRYANT, Esq, the accom-
plished editor of the New York Evening
Post, is now in Europe, engaged in contrib
uting excellent letters to the columns of his
paper. Under date OF June "a, he gives the
following painful picture of the want aud

of London. England's high tariffs and tythe

Be KrNp.-None of us know the good a

put in when the heart is sick, a little help

far-tar beyond what those suppose who are
