TELEaRAPHIc MAIL FOR THE STEAMSHIP Hr
BERNIA.-We would inform all persons who were
disappointed in sending their foreign letters yes
terday, that they can send ommunications ad-
dressed to their correspondents in the old world,
as brief or long as they please, by means ofthe
telegraph to Boston, where they will be written
out and mailed according to the direction. We
understand that the operators Of the line
were busily employed for two hours, or more,
last evening, in this kind of business. 1t is a
capital and certain way of sending letters by the
mail steamer.

News FROM EuRoPE.-The steamship Cam
bria is now in her twelfth day, and may be hour
ly expected. She is hardly due until she has been
over twelve days at sea. Unless the French steam
ship c. Coomb should arrive in the meantime
the Cambria will bring sixteen days later intel
ligence from all parts of Europe, which all casse.
are anxiously looking for.
Commercial intelligence of much importance
10 expected by the next arrival, as it was very
critical time throughout Europe relative to the
growing crop, when the Hibernia left. The sea.
son has become SO far advanced that we shall be
able to Judge, by the next accounts received
pretty nearly what will be the result of the next
harvest. Prices for breadstuffs in this country
depend very much, we might say entirely, upon
the prospective demand from the other side
Our crops are likely to be so large that an abun-
dance in Europe would create plethora here,
and put prices down to a much lower level than
we have before realized for long time.
We do not look for any thing favorable about
cotton by the next arrival. So long as food con-
tinues high, quotations for cotton cannot advance;
and as there is very little probability of bread
stuffs being lower before harvest, there is poor
chance for cotton.

The War ship of Peace.
By SAMUEL LOVER. II


Sweet land of song, thy harp doth hang
Upon the willow, now,
While famine's blight and fever's pang
Stamp misery on thy brow;
Yet, take thy harp, and raise thy voice,
Though faint and low it be,
And let thy sinking heart rejoice
In friends, still left 10 thee.
Look out. look out across the sea
That girds thy emerald shore,
A ship of war isbound for thee,
But with no 1arlike store;
Her thunder sleeps-'tis Mercy's breath
That watts her DER the sea-
She goes not forth to deal out death,
But bears new life to thee!
Thy wasted hand can scarcely strike
The chords of grateful praise;
Thy plaintive tune is now unlike
Thy voice Of pr.uder days;
Yet, even in sorrow, tuneful still
Let Erin's voice proclaim
In bardic praise, On every hill,
Columbia's glorious name

A Mexican Trick.-An officer of the
Palmetto regiment, in letter from Vera
Cruz, relates an anecdote illustrative of
the fraud and trickery of the Mexicans.
He says:
When we had entered Alvarado, they
wished to keep one room secret from US
one in which all the correspondence
and public papers were found secreted.
In that room they had laid out preten-
ded corpse on the table and asserted the
man was dead. Maj. B. wanted the
comfort of the quarters, and ordered The
door 10 be forced in, and though dark,
examined the corpse. He ordered the
sergeant to take it off and bury it-this
order induced the dead man to break out
and run with all his might, to the amuse-
ment of the 81 ec'ators.

Erening.-There are two periods in the
life of man to which the evening hour is
peculiarly interesting; youth and old age
in youth we love its mellow moonlight, its
millions Of stars, its soothing shade and
sweet serenity. Amid these scenes we
can commune with those we love, and
Irvine the wreath of friendship, while
there are none 10 witness but the gener-
Gus heaven and the spirits that spend their
Sabbath there. We look abroad on crea-
ton, spread in the slumber of moonlight
scene around; and, wrapt in contempla-
ton, fancy we see and hear the waving
wings and melting songs Of ether am pur-
er worlds. l, accords with the lighter
flow Of youthful spirits, the fervency OF
fancy, and the soft feelings of the heart

Austrian DeSp0tiSln.

Livery man III austria pays an income
tax of seventeen per cent, which must all
come from the industry of the country, and
60 into the pockets of the Emperor. For
what purpose? To enable him to esta-
blish schools and provide the people with
the means Of moral and intellectual! cul-
ture? To build railways and canals, and
TO furnish the people with facilities for
cheap and speedy intercourse and trade ?
No; but chiefly for the maintenance of an
army for their destruction, if they attempt
to improve their condition by remoleling
their social institutions and for the sup
port of agents who enter their social and
domestic circles to listen to their most Sc.
cret words and watch their most secret
actions. No trade can be carried on in
Austria without license from Govern
ment, for which from five to ten shillinss
p erannum are paidaccording to the nature
Of the trade and the advantages Of the stu
atoms. Ii to- day man take out bakers
or tailor's license to work in Freiwalden,

distant, at the same rate as before. And
as those licenses cannot be had a, all with
out the recommendation OF one of the local
magistracy, these ten thousand petty tools
of despotism, for there are ten thousand OF
then, are empowered TO decide who and
how many may work at each trade. A
man cannot kill lamb for his neighbor
without license. A poor tailor who

NEVELAIlV0S IN AESTUAANTSs-1A
very learned philosopher once remarked,
that whenever one wanted a favor Of q
man always to ask it after he had eaten a
good dinner. Mungo Park said that the
wild tribes Of Africa were always most
loquacious while devouring their food and
we verify believe that talking and eating
should go together. The man who sits in
a corner all alone, and bolts down his
dinner without speaking to any one but
the waiter, is q suspicious individual-one
who meditates on murders, sickly seasons,
falls in cotton, suicides and nightmares.
But the jolly gentleman there in the
corner, with the red face and sleek brown
wig-why it does ones heart good to
hear him let the secrets Of his soul out
over a savory piece Of roast beef. And
then his tall friend with the piggish blue
eyes and frizzled hair-how he bends
over to catch the sly whisper, and returns
the knowing wink with, interest.
yes says the jolly gentleman, spread
dug butter over the half Of spring
potato its fact; Mrs. Jinkins went out
with him last Sunday up to Carrolton.
The old man, thinking she was at her
aunt's, thought he'd take trip in the cars
Well, he got some fried tripe, wait
er, there, and found Mr.. ]. and the gen.
tleman walking in the garden all alone. !"
"Nasn't the old man furious?" 81
Furious why, he caught his wife by
her tender piece of boiled mutton, watt
er,] by her arm, looked daggers at the
pepper vinegar, if you please at the
young man. and took her home"
The tall young man nearly chokes with
laughter calls for some more string beans,
and falls to again with the voracity Of a
cormorant. At the opposite table there
are two gentlemen discussing the war.
Let's hear what they say, for one being
a Cockney and the other an American,
we shall have two different shades Of
opinion.
