Prosperity Of the United States.

The London Examiner. discoursing upon this SUBJ
ject, has the following =
The prosperity is attractive, and it is the boast
OF some of the journals, that while the members of
Congress are daily threatening dissolution of the
Union neighboring States and countries anxious
to be admitted members of it. Canada talks of an
nexation California is pressing for admission; Cuba
is ready to join it, and is only withheld by the pow
er OF Spain, and the modesty and integrity of the u
States in refusing to accede to its wishes, and to
grant some assistance to accomplish them Mexico
has laid aside it is said, her hostile feelings and its
people are looking forward earnestly and anxiously
to Incorporation Central America, too is soliciting
closer connexion, and hoping for the time to come
when it shall form part of the great republic that
is to stretch over the whole continent Events are
advancing rapidly, though the Congress may stand
still. Society will not wait for it's leave to live and
thrive, and grow, and will, in some way or other,
settle the slavery question perhaps before Congress
has done talking about it. In America it is seen
clearly than in Europe that society fas-
ter than legislation, and does not depend that to
regulate its future existence Thus, while members
of Congress are threatening dismemberment there is
gathering round the States nucleus other States
ready to adhere to it and increase it on every side
1t is swelling too, by emigration from every quarter,
and exhibiting the extraordinary spectacle of men of
nearly every lineage of the earth being harmonious
~ absorbed by the great Anglo-Saxon family and
becoming one in it. The reverse of the phenomenon
that occurred the plains of Babel seems there in
progress and many if not branches of all the vari
nations ofthe EARTH uniting use one tongue
and live under one law"

NEWSPAPERS IN LoNDoN--GovERNMENr TAXES ON
ADvERT1sING.-The English journals, we remark
strongly and unitedy urging Parliament to abol
ish the present oppressive duties levied upon every
advertisement that appears in their columns. The
people-the business Communicative should think
would demand such reform loudly as the editors
for upon them it operates quite as GENEROUSLY. The
tax Government imposes upon each advertisement is
one shilling and sixpence. A correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American, writing from London:
in referring to this subject, says:
1.-THE Times does not complain of these taxes, al
though the leading journal of Europe, pays annu-
ally to the Government no less than ninetyve thou
sand pounds sterling in the shape of taxes This is
nearly half million of dollars. This enormous sum
is thus collected The taxes on the imprinted pa
per amount to EGG 900 per annum the taxes on the
advertisements amount to 10000, and the stamp
duty amounts to 100000. The last includes
the penny duty on the regular double sheet of the
Times, and the halfpenny stamp on its supplement-
spEED.-The Philadelphia Gazette says that Mr..
S. Norris has just built, at his factory in Sche-
nectady, an engine, patent plan of his own,
which has upwards of fifty miles on the Syracuse
and Utica road with loaded tran at the rate of y
miles an hour.

DEATH OF Mrs. OsGooD, THE PoErEss.-Mrs. Fran

startle and surprise all who not aware that she
has for some time been laborng under consumption
and there none who are familiar with American
poetry, who will not mingle their regrets with the
grief of her friends at the loss of of the purest
and sweetest poetesses of America. Mrs. Osgood
was the daughter, of Mr.. Locke merchant of Bos-
ton, and wife of Samuel S. Osgood, the artist Her
age 81, and she the mother of several chill
dren, two of whom, both daughters, survive. Mrs
Osgoods claims as a poetess WERE believe, first
fully recognized in England. Since that time she
has become universal favorite in America Her
writings are chaste and musical in language; pure,
refined and thoroughly womanly in thought; exhib-
iting lively fancy and quick, appreciative sense
of the beautiful. The first complete edition, superb
ly illustrated, was published by Messrs Carey &
Hart, of this city, last fall. Many of her minor
poems linger on the memory, and will serve to keep
alive the recollection of of the purest spirits Of
American letters.
