The following beautiful stanza by BISHOP BEnKE
EY are worthy the place they occupy, and althoug
a~ last stanzas has world wide reputation, yet v
nagine that few know its authorship. II was write
ny years years before the RevoiutiUn and furnishe
NO nsta nee At least, ofpoetry and prophecy emwin

The muse disgusted at an age and cline.
Barren Of every glorious theme,
In distant lands now waits . better time,
Predicting subjects worthy fame:
In happy clmes where frsm the Re nial sun
And virgin earth such scenes ensue,
The force Of art by nature seems outdone,
And fancied beauties by the true;
In happy climes, the seat Of innocence,
Where nature guides end virtue rules;
Where men shall not impose fortruth and sense
The pedantry Of courts and schools;
There, shall be sung another golden age,
The rise Of empires and Of arts,
The good and great, inspiring epic rage,
The wisest heads and noblest hearts.
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay.
Such as she bred when fresh and young,
When heavenly flame did animate her clay,
ny future poets shall be sung.
Westward the course Of empire takes it's way;
The four first acts already past,
4 NTH shall close the drama with the dayj
Times noblest offspring is the last.

California Land Titles.

There are difficult questions involved in the
settlement of land titles in Calilorma.-
Among these questions we may enumerate
the following as the leading ones. 1st. The
right of sovreignity, or the right of the United
States to hold lands there as proprietor
End. The rights accruing to individuals I'M
der Mexican grants. 3rd. The rights, orig
mating in occupation. Each of these rights
is attended with its difficulties, and all will
prove source of trouble and litigation
The right of sovreignity is reposed in the
United States so long as California continues
in the Territorial condition. The question
whether the United States can have propri-
ETY. rights in the lands of California, after ad-
mission, without provision to the act making
the admission, is question upon which many
have different opinions.
Individuals possessed of rights from Mex
lean grants have titles considered sufficient
but it will doubtless be a source ofexpense and
aggravation in defending and maintaining
them. Some of these grants we're made a
century since, from which various transfers
have been made. The officials in the City Of
Mexico, in this connection. having been most
careless and negligent, and having made il
legal attempts to create titles, will cause
protracted litigation.
Many persons settled in California prior tC
the time of conquest and without previous
acquisition Of title. All such will assert Z;
right by occupation or presumption right
under the law favorirg the hardy pioneer 0
our frontier settlements. These rights viii
be warmly assailed and contended for, bu;
in the opinion of some, will be held as suffi
cient.

Our friend Latape, clerk Of the steamer
Chancellor, furnished US memorandum, from
which we gather the following facts: The
mammoth steamer Missouri, bound to st.
Louis from New Orleans. ran aground on a
bar at Lake Port Bend, on the night of the
oath inst, and will prove total loss. Fiji
teen hundred bags OF salt were thrown over
board without tightening her sufficiently to
enable her to float. Her machinery and a
portion of her cargo will be saved. The
Missouri was one one Of the largest steamers
in the New Orleans and St. Louis trade, and
had recently undergone extensive and very
expensive repairs. Her owners, we under
stand, live in st. Louis.

professor webster.

The excitement aroused by recent events
of a national character seems to have divert
ed the attention of the people, to great ex-
tent, from the extraordinary case of Professor
Webster. While attention has been thus d.
verted an application for a new trial in the
case has been made to the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts,, and the questions of law in
volved in the affair have been fixed for dis
suSsion before that Court, at its setting in
June. The prisoner is still an inmate of a
cell in the Boston Jail, existing under an I'M
certainty whether the penalty attached to his
offence will be executed, or whether Execu-
tive clemency will lberate HIM. Great sym
pathy exists for the Doctor in Boston, and
hopes are entertained that new trial will
elicit more favorable evidence in his BEHALF
The belief seems current that the verdict o.
"guilty" was wholly Unauthorized by the tes
timony in the case, and was, to a great extent
attributable to the one-sided and reprehen
sibIe charge Of the Judge. We hope to see
the matter undergo searching and impair
tial investigation, and to hear ofsuch facts be
ing brought to light as will place the fact o
his guilt or innocence beyond dispute.

tending that those who had gone before him
had assumed wrong premises when they said
Il at Congress had no power to leglsate for

Congress possessed the power in various
ways, and that it was given by implication
in the COnslitu ion. He also argued the pro-

Underwood concluded and the question was

Dreadful Steamboat Disaster.

By Geographic dispatch from st. Louis,
through the kindness of Mr.. A. r. Jones,
received yesterday morning, we learn OF
another dreadful steamboat accident on the
Mississippi river. The steamer Saint Louis
when within few miles of the city of Saint
Louis, on her way from New Orleans, coIlap-
sed hue, instantly killing twenty persons
and scalding some sixty others. The Saint
Louis is a new boat, having made but two OF
three trips since she was launched. We are
at present, unable to give further account o
this dreadful calamity.

Berrien remarked that the Senator was
not there. aud hoped that before so important
u question was taken some lntImatlon would
be given OF the time.
Dayton had supposed there were other
Senators who designed speaking on the
amendment He designed at some stage OF
the bill to address the Senate upon the gene
raj subject. Thrre were. however, many abb
sent who would desire to be present when the
vote was taken. He hoped. tn, n, that the
taking of the question would be postpon-
ed
King pressed an immediate vote, and de-
sired TO address the Senate upon the general
subject alter the amendments have been dis
pose, of.
Chase moved to amend Davis amendment
by adding the following.
Provided. further that nothing herein con-
tanned shall be co istrued as authorizing or
permitting the introduction of slaves or hold
ing OF persops us property in the said terrific
rles.
Dayton moved to postpone further consid-
Grafton until tomorrow at o'clock-nega-
tIved.
! Clay said he understood the purpose of Da-
vis's amendment TO be this: provision ex
cepling from restrictions upon the legisla-
lures of territories power to pass laws for
the protection to the rights OF property held
or introduced into territory contormahly TO
the constitution and the laws of the United
States.
He had no particular objection to these
amendments because it only asserts an effect
which would follow.
Davis denied that he designed or desired
his amendment to carry any implication as
to what were the rights of the South under
the constitution He never had and never
Il, INN IN fhnSn
ght~; he simply desired Congress TO abstain
from touching those rights either way.
Hale spoke. Dodge, of Iowa, followed
aud denounced the doctrines held by Hale and
those WHO think with him. He declared his
opposition TO the Wlnot proviso in every
shape aud form.
Alter some debate between Daytonand Ber-
rirn in relation TO The effect of the pending
amendment, the Senate adjourned.
