We Struggle --- Perish---Are
Forgot.

Dow Jr., says many good and true
things. Put this down among the
rest.
"My friends-as says the text, ,De
struggle, to- stem the tide of adverse
fortune-struggle to get above one
another-struggle to get married; and
then, struggle with the devil through
lfe-and at last. have a desperate
struggle with death. Foolish beings
We take time by the coat-tail, pull
back with the might of maggot, and
imagine we can hold him in bis impct-
uous career We strip pleasure to
the shirt, take her cloak, frock, bon
net. hustle and all-rob her of every
charm and then say there is no such
thing as pleasure in the world !! We
extinguish the torch that hope holds in
her hand, and follow lightning bugs
into a mud puddle! BY superlative
folly you brighten happiness from your
iresides, and then say she has left your
bed and board without cause or provo
cation !" Thus man makes hills to
tire himself with in climbing, pro-
duces darkness to grumble about, Gre
ates corn to swear at. and puts diff
culties in his way in order that he
may struggle with them. Well, my
friends, if YOU can't move without first
setting fire 10 your shirts, all | have TO
say is blaze away-anything to give
you start.
NV dear friends-sOe perish-are
forgotten Yes, we are composed OF
very perishing stuff. improvements
have been made upon almost every
thing except flesh-that, if anything, is
not so liable TO stand the storms and
tempests of time now as it was 10 the
DAYS of yore. More than medal to
him who can make it time proof. We
live hardly long enough TO count sixty
(provided he count but once year,
and then we creep under the ground
through a subterranean passage thai
leads the Lord knows where. We
perish, and monument. perchance
more enduring than human flesh marks
the spot where we rest; but that fall;
/ like all things earthly--and then we
are forgotten-whether slayer or slain
lord or loater, there we lie, and the
children Of future generations viii

mice make their nests with the leaves
of PRAYER books and bibles. The eartf

world will wag as usual. 50 goe:

II large piece If hot Iron 10 han.
He,-On Thursday week, we gave an
account of the casting OF an immense
cannon at Ayers foundry, at South
Boston-thc largest gun ever cast. -
Yesterday, the 18th day after casting,
it was raised from the shaft, but was
still so hot, that water, when cast upon
it. was instantly converted into vapor.
The mould was readily stripped from
the stupendous mass, leaving clean
surface. Though weighing at least %
tons, it was raised by two cranes,
worked by twelve men, without diff
Guilty. In fact, the facility with which
il was moved by the aid Of Mr.. Ayers
powerful machinery, afforded specta-
Home --l, p 80 ;-a~-~>-i;.ss 90 tho nrnvious
operation of casting. AS it came from
the mould, the gun is Ia feet 8 inches
long. By cutting oil about four feet
of the length, boring out, and trim
ming, the weight will be reduced 10
about twelve tons and half. The
boring and turning will occupy about
three weeks. The metal used in this
gun is composed Of four kinds Of iron,
constituting compound, which by
experiments has been ascertained 10
possess the greatest degree OF COM
pactness, strength and tenacity and
when used in the construction OF ord
nance, quite adequate TO the duty Of
discharging shot or shells, twelve inches
in diamcter--the bore Of the present
gun"
The foregoing is from the Boston
Post. Some may be curious to know
the reason Of cutting off so large a
niece--four feet-ffom one end. The
fact is, the gun is cat IN yerllcle po'
sltion. and The upper section usually
contains all the impurities OF the mass
and is not SO firm and compact as the
central part. We once witnessed The
Fasting of first class Paixban at Al
GERS foundry, and much admired inc
o,ooorance of the river of the bright
oIowiue melted iron which flowed IN

was such as to K ep all spectators at a

or Douglass Jerrold, on the Press,

Isays:--
"The power Of the press is as bound
less as that of society. 1t reaches the
throne--it is enclosed in the cottage.
1t can pull down injustice, however
lofty, and raise up lowliness, however
deep. II castigates crime which the
law cannot reach, and prevents those
which the law can only punish without
depressing them. Wherever eye can
see and hand can write, there is the
press. Persons in tribulation rely on
il for redress and they feel sure that
wrong will not go unpublished if il be
known to the journals. Like light, it
penetrates into every nook and Granny
of society, and carries help and heal
ling on its beams. 1t nips rising abuses
in the bud. 1t stops the tide of tyran-
NY when setting in full flood. 1t de-
rives its vast power from the principles
of its being. Seeking out truth and
representing reason. it concentrates on
one point the whole moral power of
society, and pursuades and governs
without violence, by the mere knowl-
edge thai the physical power Of society
lis always ready TO vindicate the right.
As it comes into operation, the course
of society becomes uniform and equal,
and lis ends are obtained without those
convulsions and rebellions by which
rude unlettered people make Their
will known"

1t is not in costlincss of material nor in

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
SIR ROBERT PEEL's SPEECH.

SIR ROBERT PEEL's SPEECH
Parliament met on the 22d of January and
was opened by the Queen in person. Her
Majesiy's speech which we give below is moi
at all beligerent, and is as follows:
My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN:
1t gives me great satisfaction 10 meet you
IN Parliament, and TO have the opportunity
of recurring TO your assistance and advice
continue 10 receive from my allies, and
from other Foreign Powers, the strongest as
surrance ofthe desire TO cultivate the most
friendly relations with this country. | re-
loice that in concert with the Emperor of
Russia, and through the success of our joint
meditation, | have been enabled to adjust
the differences which had long prevailed be-
tween the Ottoman Porte and the King of
Persia, and had seriously endanged the tran
guilty of the East. For several years des-
olaiing and sanguin airy warfare had afflicted
The States of the Rio de la Plata. The
commerce ofall nations has been interrupted,
aud acts of barbarity have been committed,
unknown to the practice of CIVILIZED people.
In conjunction with the King of the French

those States. The Convention concluded
with France, in the course of last year, for
The more efeetual suppression Of the slave
trade, is about to be carried into immediate
execution by the active cooperation OF
the two powers on the coast of Africa. 1t
is my desire thai our present. union, and the
good understanding which so happily exists
between US, may always be enjoyed to pro-
mote the interests of humanity, and to Sc
cure the peace of the world. / regret that
the conflicting claims of Great Britain and
The United states in respect to the territory
on the North Western coast of America, al
though they have been made the subject oil
repeated negotiation, still remains unsettled.
You may be assured that no effort consistent
with national honor shall be wanting on my
part TO bring this question to an early and
peaceful termination.
Gentlemen Of the House of Commons.
The estimates for the year will be laid be-
fore yon at an early period. Although am
| deeply sensible of the Importance of enforc-
ing economy in all branches ofthe expendi-
ture, yet have been compelled, by due
regard 10 the exigencies of the public service
and TO the state of our naval and military
establishments, to propose some increase in
the estimates which provide for their effici
ency.
Ny Lords and GentIemen--l have obserV
: ed, with deep regret, the very frequent in
stances in which the crime of deliberate as
sassination has been of late committed in
Ireland. 1t will be your duty TO consider
whether any measures can be DEVISED cal

NEWS BY THE CAMBRIA.

We give below the most interesting por-
tons of the late news from England brought
by the Cambria, tits considered at the East
highly gratifying.
From Wilmer & Smiths Europeun
Times, Feb 4.
The Steamship Cambria, commanded by
our excellent and esteemed friend, Captain
Judkins, takes out 10 day the most important
and gratifying intelligence that ever left the
shores of Great Britain. Sir Robert Peel
England's powerful and brilliant Minister
has developed his future commercial policy.
II is al once simple and comprehe nsive: and

d1ies between this country (England) and
The United States will be carried 10 an ex-
tent, and will be mutually productive of adj
vantages, greater, TO quote not irreFerently.

eye hath yet seen, or the heart hath con-
celved." The new scheme embraces, with
a full sense of their importance, the princi-
plies of Tree trade-repudiate all protection

years, with scale, in the interim, which
will probably oscilate between. four and six
smlllngs per quarter, and at once admits In
dian corn and buckwheat free of all duty
whatever To the details OF this great meas
ure we earnestly enireat the attention of our
commercial readers. We beg 10 refer them
TO the speech itself, and 10 our remarks upon
it. Great Britain, at the present moment. is
IN blaze of excitement; men talk and
think OF nothing else; they have set their
hearts upon securing the great fiscal scheme,
for the regeneration of the country, which
the Premier has laid before Parliament, and
they desire 10 curtail the period fixed for the
total extinction of the corn laws. The
friends of peace and progression, on this side
OF the water, hope-earnestly and sincerely
hope that the new policy will bind America
to US by the ties OF amity, brotherhood and
interest, and that the miserable squabbling
about barren waste will give way TO more
liberal, civilized, and comprehensive views.
