The late famine, as it is known, caused
deep distress, and is yet visible in its sad
effects, which have not yet ceased.
There is another visitation-the present
Commercial crisis in England, which will
affect more or less tho commerce of the world
but its influence will fall with tremendous
force on English nation; for its merchants Of
all grades, and manufacturers, as appears,
have as it were, "run riot" in speculation and

report has most ably vindicated the true pol.

breaking down the restrictive policy Of the
continental kingdoms, and is favorably inhu-
encing that of Holland.
JonN QUINCY ADAMS was struck by par

tho House Of Representatives., from whence
ho was removed 10 the Speakers room
where he expired on the 23d, two days AFTER
Both Houses of Congress united in paying
honor TO the illustrious dead. Bulogies on
his life and distinguished public services
were pronounced inthe House of Representa-

The Pres dent issued orders that the Execu-
tive Offices 60 into mourning for the de-
ceased,an also that at the miIiiaryand naval
stations funeral horrors be paid to his memory.
More lasting than these, however, will be
the regret Of the people that q great and
good man has passed aw ty-one who du-
ring half century Of almost uninterrupted
public service has exhibited SO strikingly
the best characteristics Of the Christian and
the Patriot. From the period of his appon +
ment by Washington,in l794as resident Min
ister to tho Netherlands, he has held various
stations in the service of the Republic, and
the highest in the gift of a free people, that Of
President of the United States; and he died
at his post in the service of his country. He
was great as scholar and a statesman, his
virtues were many and prominent, and what.
ever may be the differences Of opinion whlc
he called forth in his long career, there are
none who would deny that he labored hon
estly for the elevation Of his country in all
that promotes national prosperity and great
ness, and that he was among the purcs
statesmen eff the Republic.
