OPINION OF THE HON. ROBERT
STRANGE

On the subject Of the compromise measures
reportedty the committee ef1s. Judge
Strange being IN Flashing gto,a city, Sena-
tor Foote addressed him letter, (s,teh as
he had addressed to other distinguished
men IN the country soliciting his opin-
ion. Of the compromise measures. The
.foNo,cing is his reply:
WAsH1NGToN C1TY, May 21, 1850.
My dear sir: Your kind note of the 10Th
instant was most unexpectedly received,
and places me in an attitude in which
would rather not appear. | never had the
vanity to suppose that any one occupying
your place in the public eye attached any
value to my opinions: have always been
very free in expressing them upon most
the opinions Of an humble individual, with
out materially affecting the action of any
one. Even now, if could possibly think
them entitled to the consideration that you
are pleased to ascribe to them, l should
shrink from the responsibility Of making
them public. Demanded of me, however,
as they are, in the character Of personal
friend, l cannot withhold them, such as
they are, nor prescribe to you what use
YOU shall make of them. 1t is proper,
however, for me to observe. that it is
long since have had anything to do
with public affairs, although l have been
as attentive locker on as was quite con-
sistcnt with great devotion to labori-
Gus profession. l came to Washington
at this time on professional business,
little dreaming that any one would con-
descend formally to ask me what thought
on any public matter. In the present ex-
cited state of the public mind. little toier-
alton can be expected from those with
whom you may chance to differ, and one
who utters opinions upon the great subject
to which your letter refers must look to
encounter more Of criticism than of aP-
probation. Were candidate for pub
lie favor, should think it prudent to fore
but hold at present no office, either State
or federal, and do not desire any. unless
accorded to me from just appreciation oi
sentiments thatI really entertain 1t Is
much to be regretted that there should be

LANDING OF THE INVADERS.
The steamer Ohio, arrived at New York from
Havana, brings the Intelligence that Gen Lopez,
with five hundred men, landed at Cardenas
the 18th inst, and took the town and garrison of
six hundred soldiers, who surrendered after
loosng three men. Great excitement prevailed
Havana. Martial law prevailed in the city
Several thousand militia had been despatched to
protect Matanzas. 1t is reported that troops have
collected at Morman's Island. Several vessels
had been despatched for that place. The Span
ish steamer Pizarro retired with 1O5 prisoners,
mostly French and German. Arms were distrib
uted to the militia. Resident foreigners were
compelled to enroll their names for service. The
force under Gen Lopez estimated at two thou
sand. 1t is reported that the Railroads leading
to Cardenas, and several other places, have been
taken up by Gen. Lopez. The Merchants and
Bankers at Havana were removing their deposits

THE DAILY TIMES.
THE LEE CLOCK-RY EVA.

THE LIFE CLOCK-BY EVA.
There is little mystic clock,
No human eye hath seen,
That beateth on-and beateth on,
From morning unto ev'n.
And when the soul is wrapt in sleep,
And heareth not a sound,
1t ticks and ticks the livelong night,
And never runneth down.
o, wondrous is the work OF art,
Which knells the parting hour,
But art ne'er formed, nor mind conceived
The life-clock' magic power
Nor set in gold, nor decked in gems,
By wealth and pride possessed,
But rich or poor, or high, or low,
Each bears it in his breast.
When LIES deep stream, mid beds Of flowers
All still and softly glides,
Like the waveets step with gentle beat,
1t warns of passing tides.
When threatning darkness gathers DER,
And hopes bright visions flee,
Like the sullen stroke of the muffied oar,
1t beateth heavily.
When passion nerves the warriors arm,
For deeds of hate and wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are beating soft,
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and wide it rattles on
As if with love 'twere broken.
Such is the clock that measures life,
Offesh and spirit blended,
And thus twill run within the bre asst,
Till that strange life is ended.
