nifty offer, and the people favor, to take posses
sion, by an inland expedition, of PuebIa de los
Angeles, near San Diego.
On reaching the Pacific, your first duty will
be to ascertain if these orders have been carried
into effect. If not, you will take immediate
possession Of Upper California, especially Of the
three ports of San Francisco, Monterey, and
San Diego; so that, if the treaty of peace shall
be made on the basis of the uti possidetis, it may
leave California to the United States.
Upon the whole, we are at loss to see what
there is in the acts of Gen. Kearney or Commo-
dcre Stockton which. The Government can fairly
disclaim. To be sure the President did not, in
so many words, authorise the appointment of
Governors and the establishment of territorial
Legislatures, but he made known his purposes
of taking and retaining the countries and gave
large discretionary powers to his commanders.
And what more certain mode of maintaining au-
thority of the conquered provinces could there
he than initiatingthem at once into the practice
of self government

The Loafcr's Death.
PARODY.

APARoDY.
A loafer roamed the streets one night,
The wind was piping free,
Now SOFT now hard, did the rain pour down,
The loafer, drenched from foot to crown,
Wasa horrid sight to see;
The sleet was flung athwart the sky,
His cronies all went whistling by,
Ard though with mudand rain bespIashed,
| Onward still the loafer dashed.
The loafer thought, and he thought ofthe past
Ofgin sings loved too well:
Down the lighted street his eye he cast,
And he gave sfsh as he hurried past
The steps of new hotel:
And wretched forms did by him glide,
They scowled as they passed the Ioafer's side,
While flmy eyes, bloodshot and grim,
Glarcd feEcely round, and they glared on him.
Now freshens the gale, and the loafer goes
Like a staggering steed along,
A sheet of mud in the air he throws,
AS through the storm his way he plovs-
But his boots are thick and strong;
His coat il closely around him fured,
As he onward sweeps through the watery world:
But the seet and the rain,an1 the gath ring mud,
Can bring TO chill to the loafer's blood.
Wildly he rocks, yet he swingeth al ease,
When voice calls out aloud
That almost makes his blood to freeze,
And Mortified the loafer sees
A form through the sleety- clond;
Was that face looked up to him!
With a large red nose, and its small eyes dim,
Did it beckon him down? did it call his name?
Now rolleth the loafer the way whence it came
The loafer looked, and he saw with dread,
A face he knew too we'll:
And the small eyes glared from its swollen head
While its bony hand to him was spread
Was there tale to tell!
Away, away, with reeling speed,
The loafer hurried as well he need,
But plungng through the muddy tide,
That form was ever by his side.
Bethink thee, lcafer, well of the past,
A Voice calls alouds for thee
There's stiiled OATH the loafer's last,
AS into the gutter he is cast.
Oh where shall his buriel be!
Bethink thee of oaths that were lightly spoken,
Bethink thee of locks that were lightly broken,
Bethinh thee of all that to thee was fun
For thou art alone-thy glass is run.

AID TO rszLAsD. BIN this days paper our rsa.

An TO IRxLANp-In this days paper our rsa
dsrs will fnd a circular addressed to the bensvo-
lent people of the United States, by the Indus
trial Society Of Galway, Ireland, soliciting as
sistance to aid it in carrying out its benevolent
purposes. The objects of this excellent and hu-
name society plainly put forth in the circular
Its aim is not only to afford relief TO the hungry,
and stay as far as they the ravages OF famine,
but also to provide work for the industrious, by
which they can support themselves and their Ia
miles.
What an anomaly in the history of nations does
Ireland present at the present time Possessing
the finest harbors in the world, she is without
commerce. Mines of untold wealth slumber in
her bosom, while her children can't find days
work soil unequaled for fertility, and the
people furnishing and, finally, her coasts ''alive
with fish" as we are informed by this circular,
while the people are too poor to purchase nets to
take them Wewould at once suppose that such
parts of the country as border on those coasts
which are "alve with fish," could not possibly
be afflicted to any very great degree with famine
yet we are informed that, because the people are
SO poor as not to be able to purchase nets, these
fish gambol around them, in mockery of
their condition. There is no lack of
industry among the people of Galway, as the
same circular proves. They received Alienation
of one hundred pounds sterling, and with that
sum, small as it is, they fitted out large num-
Der of fishing smacks, which cleared two hun
dred per cent. per week on the capital. In the
name of all that is pure and holy, we ask
you to read the circular, which we give
in another column, and then let something
be done for this people. The people of the United
States have already covered themselves with
glory, but much remains yet to be done, and it is
their duty to do it.
The time may come when we may need assist
anee ourselves, and if it should, there is no
place on earth from which it would reach us
sooner or more willingly than from Ireland.
While on this subject it may be we'll to men,
ton that vessels laden with provisions have been
sent to Limerick, Sligo, Westport, Dublin, Cork,
and other places, but not grain of corn has been
sent to Galway, which, besides its own inhabi-
tants has to take care. of the whole of Conemara

Consul, No. 5S Barclay street, gentlemen well

tlemen will receive as much business in this way
as they can attend to.
