A BEAUTIFUL PIcTURE.--In Wordsworth
D" Excursion" occur the following lines:

have seen
curious child, who dwelt upon a tract
~ inland ground, applying 10 his ear
ne conyolnuons OF q smooth. Tipped shell;
To which. in silence hushed, his very soul
Listened intensely; and his cOuntenance soon q.
Enlightened with JOY Tor murmurings from within
Were heard, sonorous eadences! whereby
To his be lief the monitor expressed
Mysterious union with its native sea.
Even such shell the Universe itself
Is 10 the ear Of Faith.
These lines have furnished to talented Young
artist of this city, William H. Baker, No. 10 st.
Charles street. the subject for one of the most
beautiful little pictures we have ever seen. The
difference is, that the subject of the picture is an
improvement on that of the poem. 1t represents
young mother and her child sitting upon a sea-
side cliff. The waves are breaking, in," sonorous
cadences," upon the Shore while far out upon the
deep blue waters is seen unfurled single sail
The mother is holding her fair-haired boy upon her
knee, while she applies to his the cSnvolutions
of singuarly wrought she'll The picturesque
seene the countenance of the mother, beaming
with pride and Affection and that Of the child radi
ant with curious delight, are all most happily de.
lineated by the artist.
The picture is now at Halls, on Canal street.
where it may be seen by those who take an inter-
est land who of refined mind does not p in works
Of this character.

HE CATHEDRAL OF SARAGossA-Destruct
By lightning Private letters give startling ae-
count of the total destruction of the beautiful ca
thedral of Saragossa, (Spain0 by lightning.
On the 7th of April, according to the custom of
the townspeOple, the whole population, gayly at
tired, had assembled in the cathedral to follow the
procession of the Holy Sacrament The crowd
was immense, and the procession was preceded
by a band Of music and guard of honor. Scarcely
had the procession issued from the massive DOR.
tails OF the cathedral the heavens became
clothed with darkness huge black cloud hung
like pail over the town, and suddenly the flood.
gates OF the skies were opened and the rain des-
eended in such torrents that the whole procession
was forced to take shelter within the cathedral.
The people told their beads, and were overwhelmed
with terror at the Cimmerian darkness which en-
vcloped the sacred edifice. Presently there was
heard terrific crash, accompanied by noise loud
as the roaring of artillery. II was found that the
lightning had struck the spires of the cathedral and
entering through of the numerous intersticesof
the light and graceful architecture struck dead the
bell ringer, and penetrated to the timber roofing
which Immediately blazed forth with fury admit
ting Of no control, although the heavens continued
to pour down their waters upon the burning rafters.
The crowd, preferring even water to fire, rushed
forth into the Streets through which the water was
pouring in torrents, and left the unquenched flames
to do their fiery work The rooffell in toward the
afternoon, and then theprests melted the people to
attempt the preservation of the interior, and the
course of the flames was at length arrested Thus
has persisted the nobest specimen of ecclesiastical
architecture IN all Arragon, perhaps in all Spain.

remarkable case-that of the allowance of inter.
est on the Mexican debt.
By treaty stipulations with Mexico, Board o
Commissioners was appointed to adjudicate on tn.
ca.msof the American citizens for injuries inflicted
BY the Mexican authorities. The amount allowed
was to be paid by instruments to the American
Government, with interest after certain period
Our Government issued certificates to the holders
g to pay to them at periods corresponding with thu
Mexican payments. Mexico, however, paid only
q portion of the debt, and this neglect was one o
the alledged causes Of the war
BY the last treaty, our Government assumed the
payment Of the debt. Under this stipulation two
questions arose between the Government and the
creditors
First Whether interest was due on those install.
ments after their maturity.
Second-W hether this interest should be com
pounded.
These were decided by Secretary Walker, after
elaborate argument from come of the most eminent
