THE DEPARTED.
s'Tis sweet to believe, of the absent we love,
If we miss them below, we shall meet them
above.'
The departed! the departed!
They visit US in dreams,
+ And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams:
But where the cheerful lights Of home
:: In constant lustre burn,
The departed--the departed
Can never more rcturn
The good, the brave, the beautiful
How dreamless is their sleep,
Where rolls the dirge like music
Of the ever-tossing deep;
Or where the mournful night-winds
Pale Winters robes have spread
Above their narrow palaces
In the cities Of the dead!
look around and feel the awe
OF one who walks alone
Among the wrecks of former days,
In dismal ruin strown;
start to hear the stirring sounds
From the leaves Of withered trees,
For the voice Of the departed
Seems borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice it mingles with
Each gay and careless stra,n,
scarce can think Earth's ministrelsy
Will cheer my heart'again:
! The glad song of the summer waves,
Tho thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be SO dear to me
AS their remembered words.
sometimes dream their pleasant smiles
Still on me sweetly fall;
Their tones of love faintly hear
My name in sadness call:
know that they are happy,
Withtheir angel plumage on;
But my heart is very desolate
To think that they are gone!

The last evenings "Union" contained letter
from a "London correspondent" which made some
remarks upon the private habits of the King Of
Prussia. They were not in good taste; and they
are more Objectionable, because they are untrue.
We feel ourselves at full liberty to give our opin-
ions freely upon the institutions of Europe; but il
is to be regretted that our foreign correspondent
should have touched topic of this descrption-for
which, we understand, too, there is no foundation
We have it from the best authority--from one vino
is well acquainted with the habits Of the King Of
Prussia-that they are grossly misrepresented by
the letter in Question. Its writer has, no doubt
been entirely misinformed. We must add, that this
misrepresentation gives the more regret because
of the great respect and the kind feelings which we
entertain, from personal acquaintance with him, Of
the able and accomplished minister, Baron Gerolt
who represents the court of Prussia at Washington

EDWARD WARRENS, ESQ.

We congratulate the President upon the appoint.
ment of this gentleman (though not personally
known to us to the consulate at Trieste; not on &C
count Of his German nativity, for we would be il
consistent in our opposition to American nativism
If we were to encourage German or any other for
egn nativism in this our beloved adopted home
and would, we sure, msconstrue the spirit in
which the Office was conferred by the President;
who, we do believe, without any view 10 favor any
domestic or foreign clan or clique intends neither
more nor less than to deal fairly by all parts OF
rather the WHOLE Of the American democratic fami
ly-the "GRANp PEOPLE" of the Debats.
Mr.. Warens, lawyer by profession, is o.
course thoroughly familiar with the legal and ad
ministrative institutions and usages Of his country
and, as editor Of the "Missour Democrat" has la
bored hard--or we should say, as a "had" dem.
ocrat-suicently to establish his ability, and hi.
most ardent zeal in behalf Of his country and he
interests. His knowledge of the German langung,
is only an additional, but, in his destined situation
to himself and his country, by no means unessen
tal advantage. The consulate at Trieste is, Of
ought to be, under efficient hands, very importan
one; and we doubt not that Mr., w. will fill it abb,
and with dignity.

ANTI.TExAs CONVENTION.

A meeting was held at Cambridge, Massachusetts,
on the 2lst instant, OF citizens Of Middesex
county opposed to the admission of Texas as a
slave State, without respect of party--the Hon.
James Wilson, late of the State Senate, in the
chair. A resolution was adopted on the motion
Of the abolition editor, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, ITO
the effect that, in case the Texas scheme should
be consummated, the Legislature of Massachusetts
shall, in the Of the people, declare the act Of
admission null and void--in other words, to take
the ground of NULL feafion out and ou-which after
much earnest discussion, participated in by anti
slavery Of the wing, lbertyparty, and no-party
schools, was passed by small majority, along
with other resolutions reported by business
committee Among those who took part in the
discussion, was Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Ia son
Of Mr.. J. O. Adams.) The Boston correspondent Of
the N. Y. Tribune, who states these facts, adds:
~ have no doubt the result Of this convention viii be
good; and for one, shall rejoice heartily thing shall
have been done prevent the consummaon OF this high
handed Texan scheme by the next Congress In this feel
ing you win fully sympathize, il have not missppre
hended your views"
Such fanaticism almost amounts to insanity.

The QUESTION sETrLED.--It has been a subject
Of much anxiety as to the probable success of line
of electro magnetic communication across the wide
rivers; but the experiment was yesterday tried
across the East river, with perfect success, amid
hundreds Of anxious spectators. The lead pipe
through which this communication is made, weighs
six thousand pounds, and was laid at the bottom
of the river from steamboat employed for the pur-
pose, though not without great risk and labor The
whole plan and work has been executed under the
direction of Mr. Samuel Colt, engineer, who has
been for some time making his arrangements with
the New York and Offng Electro Magnetic Line,
now soon to be completed. Too much credit cannot
be awarded to Messrs Fathom & Co., Water street,
who have made this continuous line Of pipe, more
than half mile in length, perfectly air-ight, and
,ciihout single joint in the whole distance Through
this extensive line Of heavy pipe are four copper
wires completely insulated, SO to insure the
transmission of the electromagnetic fluid. We
understand the various routes north, wesi and east
have been delayed at the intervening streams, for the
purpose of learning the result of this bold experiment
of Mr.. Colt, who well merits the applause of the
public for its triumphant This line is to be
open to the newspaper press Of this city at fair
remuneration, and will be completed in few days.
