Sir: have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
Of your note Of the Goth instant informing me that
her Britannia Majesty Government have entirely
approved of the language which you held, and
the assurance which you gave to me, with refer
ence to my inquiry as TO whether it true that
Mr.. Chatfeld had made treaty with Costa Rica,
taking that republic under British protection; that
you have been furthermore instructed to state to
me, that your government has not made, and has
no intention of making, any treaty arrangement
with Costa Rica of that kind and that you also
directed to add, that il would be contrary to the
fixed and settled policy of at'Brtain to entan-
gle herself by any engagement to protect distant
States over whose policy and conduct it would be
impossible for her to exercise any effective control
take pleasure in expressing the satisfaction with
which this Government has received this friendly
assurance from that of her Britannia majesty, the
more especially as it cannot fail to strengthen the
bonds OF anity now existing between our respective
countries.

the warmost compliments TO the feelings measures
and policy of the administration; with which he
contrasts, at the came time, those Of the French
government. The Major hopes a great deal, for
the Democratic cause in Europe, from the moral
lfuences Of the United States. You may have
been struck by the efforts Of the British press and
Of the French Conservatives, 10 produce the impres-
sion that the claims of the United States on Portu
gal are at least very questionable, and pressed with
some hectorism. The Chronicle and the Times, Of
the 9th instant contain each long editorial sur
vey of the case. We have in the Paris journals
curious letters from Lisbon; references the TWEEN
ty five millions francs "yxtorted" from France nd
prognostics of war between England and "the gov
eminent Of the old insurgent colonies"

the religious principle which was the living spring
Of all his conduct. He humble, active,
devoted Christian. No pressure Of public duty, no
desire for ease or relaxation, induced him 70 neg
lect the religious duties which he deemed as essen
tial and proper here at home, or the ordinances
OF the church to which he belonged. II TO stran-
ger ear this seems the languages OF euogy, ] can
only say, cannot change it, for II Is the simple
truth
Mr. Speaker, the power Of death which has been
repeatedly during the present session exhibited In
the other chamber of Congress, and in the Execu,
tive mansion, has now for the first time manifested
itself here. Although our departed friend had not
an iron constitution, he had never before, believe,
suffered any severe sickness. He was, perhaps as
little likely as any man among Us to become the
victim of disease The plain language OF SO sud
den an end of such "A life is, 'Be ye also ready"
Sir when the resolutions which l am about to
propose shall have been adopted the great tide of
public events will obliterate here the memory of
my friend. His name will be stricken from the
roll, and will pass from recollection here But in
the circle of his particular acquaintance, by those
OF us who have shared in his domestic and social
relations, his memory will be borne with US to the
gates through which his gentle and noble spirit has
just passed. And, in that district which he 80
faithfully represented, and of which he always
spoke with such tender and proud regard, there
will be future of sincere mourning for the loss of
a private friend and public beneiactor.
! move, sir, the following resolutions:
Resoipsd, That this House has received with deep
sonsibility the intelligence of the death of the hon
orabe DANIEL p. king, a member of this House,
from the State of Massachusetts,, which took place
at his residence in that State on Thursday last
Resolved, That. testimony of respect for the
memory Of the deceased, the members and officers
of this House will wear the usual badges OF mourn
ing for thirty days.
Resolped, That the Clerk of the Housebe directed
to communicate copy Of these proceedings to the
family of the deceased.
Resolved, That the Clerk be also directed to COM
municate copy of these resolutions to the Senate
and that, as further testimony of respect to the
memory of the honorable DANIEL p KING, this
House do now adjourn.

The London Times gives the following account of
the Kohl moor diamond which has just arrived in
England, and is said to be the largest in the world
when first given to Shah Jchaun il was still
uncut, weighing, it ID said, in that rough state
nearly eight hundred carats, which were reduced
by the unskiliuness of the artist, to two hundred
and seventy nine, its present weight. II was cut
by Hortensio Borgis, Venetian, who, instead of
receiving remuneration for his labor, was fined
ten thousand rupees for his wastefulness by the en-
ragged Mogul In form il is rose cut'-that is TO
say, II is cut TO point in series Of small faces
facets without any tubular surface. A good gen
eral idea may be formed of its shape and size by
conceiving It as the pointed half Of a email hens
egg, though il is said not 10 have risen more than
half an inch from the gold sctting in which it was
worn by RunJect. lts value is scarcely oomputa-
bic, though two millions sterling has been men
toned "a jusiifablc price, If calculated by the
scale employed in the trade. The Pitt diamond
brought over from Madras by the grandfather of
Lord Chatham, aud sold 10 the Regent Orleans, in
III, for l25,0O0, weighs scarcely one hundred
and thirty carats does tho great diamond which
supports the eagle on the summit Of the Russian
sceptre weigh as much as two hundred Such IL the

and sovereignty, has passed into the possession of

Mnssnch usetts in the next Apportionment of
Congress.

The census of Massachusetts, Just completed
under State law, for the purpose of making
the apportionment of its Legislature, shows
population of 973.7l5, being 239, 457 more than
in 1910. The probable consequence of this in
crease is addition, for the first time since the
organization of the Federal Government, to the
number Of her Representatives in Congress. II
the number Of Representatives fixed by the
Census bill, adopted at the present session. re
mains unchanged, the population Of the Union
must amount TO about twenty-four millions be-
fore the delegation of Massachusetts could be
reduced. Should the population be TO divided
TO obtain the ratio, which excludes two-ilths
of the slaves. amount to q, $40 900. this would
give Massachusetts ten members, her present
number at a ratio of ninety thousand, aud leave
her with the large fraction of 1915, which
would scarcely fail 10 secure her another In
order TO have this ratio, the entire population of
the Union must very little exceed twenty two
millions.
The increase Of population in Massachusetts,.
notwithstanding the very heavy emigration to
the West and 10 California. is due TO her adher-
ence to the policy of promoting domestic manu-
features. Their extension has enabled her TO
cover her sterile soil with network of rail
roads. and by means Of both TO advance the
value Of her land for agricultural purposes. not
withstanding she imports all those great staples
Of food which are susceptible Of distant transpor-
tation. II has probably scarce ever entered into
the thoughts any Of her people that this policy
could result in advancing the relative political
power Of State which for fifty years had been
declining. We have seen but solitary refer
ence to this probable consequence Of her in
creased population, and that only in the way Of
faint and hasty surmse. 4 people who are
busy and prosperous give themselves little anx-
iety in relation TO their precise share in the
government. Power comes to them without
their seeking it, and without awakening any
cxultation: "The well know not Of their health.
but only the sick"
Massachusetts is the only one Of the old
States which will not have relinquished some
thing Of legislative influence in the Federal

the title page, to say the least, is somewhat novel

"Ihe Doomed City Of the Vailey, reasons for
believing that the city Of Syracuse will eventually
sink, as did Sodom and Goinorrah, on account of
the quantity of saline water taken from its base for
the use of the salt manufactured
The writer is said to be salt manufacturer, who
has paid considerable attention to the philosophy of
salt ticks, and who the results Of his studies
nounccs that the city of Syracuse is placed immc-
diately above a vast salt deposit, which is con-
stantly dissolvng by the action of water, that,
at some time other, it must sink below the earth

less they make their escape in time, will get well

expressed wish on the part Of Professor Webster,
Mr.. Littlehcld visited him in his cell yesterday

We learn from another source that Professor
Webster seems perfectly resigned and very peni-
tent lie says that he has made bis peace above,

have no apprehension that he will commit suicide.
