The WORLDS FAR.-An agreeable and intelli-
gent speech in the New York Assembly, is always
a curiosity. One of these will be found in our
columns to-day. The Hon. Caleb Lyon, of Lyons
dale having been in favor of providing for the rep
resentation of this State at the Worlds Fair, was
opposed by Mr.. Vamum, of this city, VIE affected
TO taunt Mr.. Lyon for being poet. The reply Of
Mr.. Lyon fully establishes his claim TO the disinc
tion; ar though he has selected an American free
soil Druid, and put him in good company, yet we
think he could have done better. If ever tmid,
weak. winged prosy writer has gained celebrity as
a bard, without meritng it, that man is Bryant.
His cages" is an imperfect, aimless, and thought
less production-has not the meri! OF harmony, and
is defective even in its rhymes. "Thanatopsis,"
passable poem, is only tincture of the common
Places Of the poets, from Homer downwards. The
vgor of this writer best shown in his attacks
on the Union and the Constitution, over which he
is ambitious TO write a new " Thanatopsis," upon
which he would descend to new fame. In this
case, we think Mr. Lyon has struck the Tyre"
little too rashly.

The DEATy OF AN AMERICAN m PARIS We
have been requested to couec. an impression made
by statement in the letter of our Paris correspond
ent in relation TO the de ath Of an American in Pa
ris Some circumstances seem to designate par
iicuar case, and we regret that the misapprehen-
SION should occasion pain to large circle Of sor-
rowing friends. The American Consul was not
applied TO in this case. Greene Il Co. were Only
applied TO as bankers, for the balance in their
hands Mr.. vanderbrocks kindness not exag-
gerated; but all he did was of his own free will
Many friends, though not in Paris, were at hand
ready and abe TO afford all the help required A
letter Of credit, affording abundant means, was
lying in the Post Office Of Paris when this sudden
death made il unavailing, The expenses incurred
will all be met by prompt and willing hands.
We are asked TO make this correction because Of
the pain given by the superstition that sick man,
60 valued, would be left so lily supplied in a TO-
reign land. Snll, we assured that our correspond
en only did justice to Mr. Vsnderbrock's noble and
liberal hearted kindness He did everything that
could be done, and he is worthy Of all praise.

which we take Of the matter, the United States
government was bound oY every consideration of

support the Collins ste araships, in opposition to
the steamships of the Cuaard line The struggle
is not between Mr. Curard and Mr.. Collins; it is
between the citizens of the United States and the
subjects of Grea. Britain, the latter backed by the
government of that country, for commercial and
naval supremacy. Commerce is king" says
Carlyle, and he was right. Commerce is the pow

the greatest commerce, and the supremacy of the
seas, controls the rest OF the world. England
has thrown the gauntlet: should We pick it up, or
retire from the arena, and acknowledge that we
were unequal to the contest!
Entertaining these views, we rejoice that the
application on the part of the stockholders of the
Collins line of steamships has been favora.
