THE DAILY TIMES.

MAN is VANITY.
What is the passing scene?
peevish April day
A little sup--a little rain
And then night sweeps along the plain,
And all things fade away:
Man (soon discussedj
Yields up his trust
And all his hopes and tears lie with him IN the dust
And " hat is beauty's power!
Itfiourishes aud dies:
Will the cold earth its silence break,
To tell how soft, how smooth cheek
Beneath its surface lies!
Mute, mute is all
Ger beautys fall:
Her praise resounds no more, when mantled in hei
pail.
The most beloved on earth
Not long survived to-day;
So music past is obsolete,
And yet twas sweet twas passing sweet,
But now it's gone away;
Thus does the shade
In memory fade,
When in forsaken tomb the form beloved is laId
Then since this world is vain,
And volatile, and fleet
Why should lay up earthly Joy
Where rust corrupts and moths destroy,
And cares and sorrows eat!
Why fly from ill
With anxious skill,
When soon this hand will Freeze this throbbng heart
lie still?

AN INTENDED DUEL.--We learn, says the New
York Sun, of the 9th instant, that the police de-
partment is on the track of a duel which has been,
or is being arranged to come off in the vicinity of
New York at no distant day, and that the arrest of
all parties concerned, whether as principals, Sc
conds, or friendly advisers, is contemplated The
principals in the case, we understand to be Secchi
de Casal, Esq, editor of the Eco d'italia. and
Colonel Forbes, a gentleman of English birth, who
has attached himself very closely to Gen. Garbaldi
since his arrival in New York. From the best in
formation we have been enabled to gather, it seems
that Forbes was offended at some remarks recent
ly made by Casal, in regard to the claims of ltal
ians over Englishmen, upon the attentions of Ga
ribaldi, and took occasion, on meeting him, with
other Italians, at the Staten Island Ferry House,
to inaict blow in CasalI's face. A short struggle
ensued, in which the pugistic science of Forbes
prevailed, when friends interfered, and arranged
the only satisfaction left to Casa under the "code
of honor"

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL


In the SENATE, w ednesday on Mr. MAsoNs mo-
tion the bill to provide for the more etfectual execu-
ton of the third clause Of the second section OF the
fourth article of the Constitution Of the United States
was taken up.
The question pending was on the amendment pro-
posed yesterday by Mr.. PRATT
Mr. MASON moved to amend the amendment by in
serting after the word issues the 1olowlng' ana
whether there was or was not collision on the part OF
said claimant either in the escape OF the IuglVe OF III
the proceedings to recover him.
Mr.. PRATT accepted the amendment as modIflca-
ton of his own. ,
league who was absent, not to vote upon TINS Dlll-
This would be the reason why he had not voted, and
would not, unless his colleague returned, vote upon this
bill
Messrs. ATcHlsoN and FooTE followed in support of
the amendment.
Mr. PRATT replied to MI. Dayton, ana oeienoea MS
amendment from the objections urged against 1t:
Messrs DAYTON and PRATT continued the debate
Mr. Mason supported the amendment. He said the
people of the States OF Maryland, Virginia and Ken
lucky were deeply and seriously interested in this sub
ect, and the many and continued wrongs suffered BY
them in consequence of the expectation and escape OF
their property, required some efiectua remedy They
had long considered this subject, and unless somelng
were done to prevent this great annual loss sustained py
Them thew would demand and would have some ~
demnity He thought the indemnity proposed by tne
Senator from Mary land not only constitutional Out
proper and just No one would deny that the losses
sustained by the individual citizens of that State, unless
put at an end, would become insuferable He argued
at length favor of the additional remedy proposed by
the amendment.
MIR. BERRIEy followed in opposition to the amend
men He did not think the of loss of the slave,
because of violence otherwise, could justly make
the United States responsible to The owner Tor ndemn
tv. The obligation on the part OF the United States
was discharged by its enacting the right OF the master
to recover his slave, and providing the authority by
which he is to effect the restoration OF his slave.
MIR. PRATT replied, and then,
Onmotion, the Senate adjourned.
