The End of Poland.

Under this head the Tribune gives a,
translation from Polish letter which ap-
peared in German paper, whose writer
seems TO think that Poland's hope Of ma
tonal regeneration is over, and that il is
" Fastening 10 It's eternal sleep with gigan-
tic steps"
The aristOcracy OF The Kingdom, il
seems, will not yield to the Democracy,
have broken with them, and appear TO
think by submitting gracefully TO the
Car, they may still maintain their order,
and hold their rank, aud make the display
of which they are so vainly fond.
The friends Of Poland have hoped that
through all her many trials she would
preserve her nationality, and they still
hope that her " end is not yet" Though
the mobiles may yield themselves to The
Gar, body and soul, yet, be il remem.

POErICAL.
Song of Death.
Shrink not, o Human Spirit,

Shrink not, o Human Spirit,
The Everlasting arm is strong to save
Eook up, lack up, frail Nature, put thy trust
In Him who went down mourning TO the dust,
And overcame the grave
Quickly goes down the sun;
Life's work is almost done;
Fruitlcss endeavor, hope deferred, and strife
One little struggle more,
One pang, and then is DER
All the long, mournful, weariness Of life.
Kind friends, t is almost past;
Come now and look your last
Sweet children, gather near,
And his last blessing kear,
See how he loved you who departeth now
And, with thy trembling step and pallid brow,
o, most Leloved one,
Whose breast he leaned upon,
Come, faithful unto death,
Receive his parting breath,
The futtering spirit panteth to be free,
Hold him not back who speeds to victory!
The bonds are riyen, the struggling soul is free
Hail, hail, cnfranchised spirit!
Thou that the wine-preSS oil the held mast trou
on, best Immortal, on, through boundlesS space
And stand with thy Redeemer face to face;
And stand before thy God!
Life's weary work is DER,
Thou art of earth no more
No more art trammeled by the oppressive clay
. =. But tread'st with winged ease
The high activities
UfEhtFrsubli.ne, up Heavens crystalline way
Here no bootless guest;
The city's name is Rest;
Here shall no fear appal
Here love is all in all;
Here shalt tlou win thy ardent souls desire;
Here clothe thee in thy beautiful attire.
Lift, lift thy wond'ribg eyes
Yonder is paradise,
And this fair, shining band
Are spirits Of thy land
And these that throng to meet thee are thy kin,
Who have awaited thee, redeemed from s'n
The city's gates unfold-enter, oh enter in !

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTS

Rather than give up orr space to any one OF
these volumnous reports, We shall at present
briefly sketch the general results of each.
GENERAL PosT OFFIcE.-The report of the
Postmaster brings the statistics up to the close
of the last fiscal year, June 3oth, 1850. The
whole number of Post Offices in the United Sta
ties was lS,4l8. There were 1879 Post Offices
established and 800 discontinued during the year.
Number of mail routes $500. Length of routes
17S,672 miles. Number of contractors 4,760
Miles travelled 46,57I ,423. Cost of transpor-
taton $2,724,426. The receipts of the depart
ment for the year have bsen about five and a half
millions of dollars, and its expenditures about
five million two hundred thousand dallars, eav-
ing an excess of three hundred thousand dollars
in the treasury. The income from letter post
ages is about four and half millions, and from
newspapers and pamphlets about one million OF
dollars.
The Postmaster General recommends UNI
form rate of inland postage at three cents eacn
letter prepaid and five ceuts when not prepaid,
the prepaid rate TO be reduced TO two cents, where
for the two years the receipts have exceeded the
expenditures by five per cent. lie recommends
twenty cents a letter as the rate to the Pacific
coast, to South America, and the Eastern Cont
nents, aud ten cents on each sea-going letter for
shorter distances. He also recommends uni
form rate of one cent each on newspapers sent
to subscribers. There is a surplus in the treas
ury of the department of about one million of
dollars.
SECRETARY OF THE ISTERIoR-This Secre-
tary, Mr.. Alexander III. H. Stuart, says he re-
CARDS his duties as of almost important charac-
ter, that is to say, as partaking sin some do
gree of legislative and Judicial, as well as an
executive character" 1t is to be hoped there
fore, that he is remarkably wise man. He has
charge of the Public Lands, the Indians, Pen
sions, Patents, Public Buildings, Census, Peni-
Tertiary, and Expenditures of the judiciary.
AS this is a new department, the Secretary
deals chiefly in estimates and gives the follow
ing table:

GOOD.
As day by day it unobtrusively extends its
sphere of action along the borders of vast

evidences of its power and new proofs of its eff
