THE STEAMSHIP BRITANNIA.-The mechanic
engaged in replacing the keel, forefoot, and re-
pairing other slight injuries, were at work during
the whole of Friday night and through all the
storm yesterday. There is more work upon her
than at first expected but the utmost despatch
is being used to have her ready to leave for Bos-
ton on Wednesday. The repairs will certainly
not be completed before that day, although a
large number of men are employed day and night
Notwithstanding their great efforts, the prospect
of her sailing from Boston on Friday, the LIST
prox., under the circumstances, are rather poor.
One of the crew ofthe Britannia fell from lad
der on the outside of the vessel, to the deck, and
was killed.

lie DOeth all Things Well

We heard beautiful girl singing, not long
since, and the burden of her song was in these
words. AS the harmony of purest music issued
from the lips and struck upon the delighted ear,
the thoughts came also of future years-of lifes
changes, of calamities, of misfortunes, of Joys,
of pleasures, the sunshine of happiness, of all
the vicssitudes of our years on earth. For in
liie's pilgrimage there are many dark and dan
gerous passages; many dark ravines of sorrow
many adjustments of cares and pains many
lovely abodes of temptation; many hostels Of
sin and evil but through all the darkness, and
danger, and sorrow-through cares, tempta-
tons, and sin there are still for lifes voyager
the cheering words, He doeth all things we'll
Many doubts are ever lingering about the
mind many unbeieving thoughts, many har,

of coming evil, many tamperings with the
Tempter but to the doubling, to the disbelief.

to all doubt, all disbelief, in the thought of ;

W hat is Life ?

My days are swifter than weayer's shuttle,
and are spent without hope" said the ancient
sufferer, who knew lifes pleasures and its pains,
and had drained the cup to its dregs
And what is life Fleeing shadows and
changing images The larger half flies when
we know it not; another portion vanishes in
halEwaking dreams; another is devoured in
some listless occupation of mechanical uniform
ity and another is involved in the illusions of
passion How many moments are there in
which thou hast enjoyed the full sensation of
life? Recall the departed days, and what re-
mains to thee of all thy anticipations of them
How swiftly, too, is thy life fastening to fill up
its period And were it heightened to thou
sand years, what is a thousand years in compar-
ison with the eternity which is now pressing up
on thy consciousness?
But this is not ALL The circuit of our tenn
poral and external activity, whether it has been
large or small, will in that last hour appear of
little moment Place yourself now in front of
the sarcophagus which holds the remains of any
ruler of empires, beneath whose mighty tread
earth has trembled, and before whose glance
KINGDOMS of earth have fallen in pieces OF
all this magnihcence and princely majesty the
last glance discloses to you but one little heap
of dust and ashes, vanishing name, and mar
rowing grave. Vain then is it, in this hour Of
separation, to reflect upon past pleasures and
pains, upon the longer or shorter duration Of
past years, and upon the wider of narrower cir
Gle of our temporal activity--all vanishes anc
is swallowed up in one engrossing thought o
death and eternity

SPEECH of HENRY CLAY,
lgiOn, Ky., .Nou. IS, on The MEXICAN WAR


On Saturday last, Henry Clay delivered a speech at
Lexington, KY on the Mexican war; its causes Objects
prosecution and probable termination. large num-
Der of persons were in attendance.
The following resolutions and sketch of the speech
was conveyed to Cincinnati, distance of so miles, IN
fUe hours by horse express From thence was trans
mitted to New York by Telegraph.
At IL o'clock, A. M. Mr.. Clay made his appearance,
and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the meet
ing. Gen. Leslie Combs called the meeting to ORDER
and made few remarks, when Mr. Clay came for
ward and proceeded to read the following resolutions
which he proposed to illustrate in his speech:
RcsOlDed, As the opinion of this meeting that
the primary cause of the present unhappy war
existing between the United States of America
and the Republic of Mexico, was, the annexation
of Texas to the former, and the immediate occa-
sion of hostilites between the two Republics a.
rose out of the order Of the President of the U.
S. for the removal of the army under the COM
mand of Gen. Taylor from its position at Corpus
Christi to point opposite Matamoras on the east
bank of the Rio Bravo, within the territory
claimed by both Republics and then under iu-
rlsdiction Of Mexico and inhabited by its ctl-
zens-that the order of the president for the re-
moval of the army to that point was improvident
and unconstitutional, it being without the con-
currence of Congress, or even consultation with
it, although it was in session; but that Congress,
having by its subsequent acts recognized the
war, has brought into existence, without its pre-
vious authority or consent, the prosecution of il
thereby became national
ResOlocd, That, in the absence of any formal
and public declaration by Congress of the OBJ
ects for which the war ought to be prosecuted
the President of the United States, as Chief Mag
istrate as Commander-in-Chefof the army and
navy of the United States, is left to the guidance
of his own judgment to prosecute it for such pur-
poses and objects as he may deem the honor and
interest of the nation TO require
ResoIued, That, by the Constitution of the u
S., Congress-being vested with thep power to de-

MEETING IN LAURENs.

A meeting Of the citizens Of Lanrens district,
South Carolina, was held on the 10Th. 1t is
represented as "hghly enthusiastic" Speeches
were made, which kindled something like the
flame of I716," and the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted'
'Whereas we have witnessed for yers, with
well-founded alarm and feelings of indignation,
the progress of the antislayery movements in the
Congress Of the United States and throughout
the non-slaycholding States Of the Union, especi-
ally the passage of the Wilmot Proviso, by the
Congress before the last, by vote of IS to 80;

observing, her conversation was universally
courted
one summer evening, the sun, which during
the day had shed over nature an intense heat
had Just disappeared leaving the horizon cover
! ed with long, wide bands Of red-clouds more
and more dark heaping themselves on the east
ern sky-the atmosphere was sufocating and
one would deem the earth was returning to the
sun the beat she had been receiving from the
latter during the day. All was heavy and weary
the air inhaled, seemed rather to sufTocate
than to nourish. A drowsy languor overcame
every one.
In a saloon, whose every window was thrown
open, might be seen gliding here and there in
the darkened light, groups of young females,
whose white dresses slightly agitated by the ris-
ing breeze of the evening, offered something
mysterious and poetical whereon theimagination
loved to dwell. A low, languishing whisper was
then heard, like the soothing murmur Of some
distant rivulet. A young woman seated before a
piano, was expressing her hearts sentiments by
an extempore melody, now smooth and tender,
now deep and trembling.
No more whispering, but general silence
took place, for hers was celestial symphony, a
seraph's song
George Underwood, fine, rich, blue-eyed
young man, was so deeply touched by the melo-
dy, that his frame seemed agitated by moment
AIRY convulsion He listened to the angels voice
so softly harmonizing with the sweet notes Of
the instrument, and felt an indescribable sensa-
ton thrill through his frame.
The music ceased, but the sweet voice still
vibrated on Underwoods ear, and there was a
charm in the witty and original trihe to which
he listened, that trans6xed him where he stood
How beautiful that girl must be- thought
George Underwood. Happy the man on whom
may fall her choice, and he involuntarily sigh
ed. Suddenly lights were brought in. The
young woman was the ugly Rosanna.
George Underwood was stupefed. He clos
ed his eyes, but the charm of that voice haunted
his memory. He gazed on her second time
and he found her less ugly. The beauties O
her mind seemed transferred to her person, ant
her grey eyes, small as they were, expressed
wonderfully well her internal sensation.
George Underwood welded Rosanna, and be
came the happiest of men, in the possession O
the kindest and most loving woman.
Beauty deserts us, but virtue and talents the
faithful companions of our lives, accompany u;
even to the grave.

The Leaves,

The leaves-how fast they fall around us A
few days ago, and they came forth in all their
beauty and made the pleasant woods grateful
retreat Their beauty faded-they have been
touched by the frost of death, and now they fall
to perish in the dust.
Like the leaves of the forest, we come forth
in beauty-pass on with the summer-and then
sink to the earth few days only, and the
rose fades from the cheek-the limbs are palsied,
and our forms mingle with the dust.
Blessed are they who so improve life's little
span that the autumn of existence and the hand
Of death are seen to approach, without exciting
an emotion of regret or a shade Of fear

FILE YOUR NEWSPAPER. Every person who
takes newspaper (and especially weekly pa

does this, leaves valuable book to his children;

against the Wmot Provso principle We give
few resolutions and sentiments of several of the meet
ings.
The following resolutions, among Others, were adop.
ted at meeting at Edgefeld Court house,
Resolved That the attempt so clearly man
Tested by the non-sayeholding States, to inter-
fere with the institution of slavery, by excluding
shareholders from an equal participation in the
use of the public domain, is dangerous viola
ton of the federal compact, and flithless dis
regard of amicable compromise, and should not
be submitted to, if an Effort be made to coasun-
mate It,
Resolved, That, as one of the means of pro-
curing concert and nsuring efficiency to COM
mon design, we approve of the plan proposed by
some Of our most influential planters, to raise
funds FOR the establishment of press at WASH
ington.
"Resolyed, That in the establishment of this
press we repudiate all idea of its being used for
party purposes-especially for President-making
its aim being to expose the conduct Of tie re-
creant, and to giUe true and authentic ieforma-
ton to the Soath and incidentally, as far as it
can be disseminated, to the North, of the prin-
ciples and grounds upon which the slayeholding
States will maintain their rights, and especially
