fY- The Boston Journal thus endeavors to
define the position Of the new senator from
Rhode Island:
THE Position OF GENERAL JAMEs-The po-
sition of General James, the senator elect from
Rhode Island, who was nominated by the Dem
ocrats, but was elected by Wing votes, is no
longer doubtful, if any faith is to be placed in
verbal declarations and written pledges. Mr.
Benjamin Finch, one of the Wing members OF
the Legislature who voted for him, states in a
letter to the Providence Journal, that while the
question of electing United States senator was
pending, General James addressed the following
note to the Honorable William Sprague, the
substance Of which was communicated to Mr.
Finch and others, before voting for him, and on
the strength of which they voted for him:
Hon. VIM. SPRAGUE:
Dear Sir-In reply to your inquiries, permit
me to say am in favor of the leading Wing
measures, and particularly that of tariff that
shall afford ample protection to the manufacture
ing interests and labor of the country, and if
elected 10 tho Office Of United States senator, ]
will cordially use my efforts to sustain them.
Respectfully and truly yours,
CHAREs T, JAMES.
Providence, JAM 30, 1851.
Mr.. Finch further states that ain an interview
with Gen. James, on Monday, the 10th inst, he
fully confirmed The declarations made in the letter.
and are me the most positire assurances that he
nds a Wing, and thai he should aci 10Th The
Wing party in the Senate Of The United Slides
He further said that he was, and always had
been, opposed to Dorrism."
This settles the question as to the political
position of General James,

the religious affairs Of Switzerland. His holiness
complained bitterly Of the oppression which
weighed on the consciences of Catholics in that

liberals, Of The obstacles to the free exercise of
the Catholic religion, of the exile Of several Of the
spiritual lenders, and of the spostion Of churches
and destruction Of convents He at the same
time praised the moderation Of the Swiss episco-
pacy and clergy in the oppressed cantons.

Lines from a Lady
TO HER HUSBAND IN CALIFORNIA

TO HER HUSBAND IN CALiFOkNlA,
A weary time thou'st been away,
And yet see thee, hear thee still,
Thy form is with me night and day,
And thoughts of thee my bosom FILL
Thine image is to me like air,
For it surrounds me everywhere,
never sleep, but thou dost show
Thy blessed face to me in dreams
| never wake but thou dost throw
Thine own bright smile midst morn
ing beams
And all think, or feel, or see,
Hath ever some ething like to thee.
hear thee in the whispering brooze:
And in the song of forest birds
And Natures richest melodies
Bave learned the music Of thy words:
The waters, earth and Heavens agree
In speaking with thy voice to me
And noon, and night, and morn and
even,
Have oil some loveliness of thine;
Yet, tho such semblances are given,
| still must murmur and Iepine-
For ah they do not, cannot give
The joys that in thy presence live.

Gently purchased farm a little dis
tance from Camden, and which lay
adjoining that of a rather cute New
Jersey Yankee, named Farley. 1t SO
happened that Mr.. Vlom Schlopsh's S
dog had peculiar inclination to NUT
ton, and it did not make much differ
ence to him whether it was cooked,
par boiled, or raw. When Farley
discovered the inclination of the Dutch
mans dog, he called over to his new
neighbor to enter complaint, when the
following conversation took place:
"Wal, Won, your dog Blitzen's
been killing my sheep"
Yah, dat ish bad-bad; he ish Won
goot dog. Yah, dat ish bad"
Certain its bad, and you'll hcv to

the tail off close. That'll cure him."
"Vat ish dat? Yah, dat ish goot /;
dat cure one sheep steal, eh!"
"Sartin it will; he'll never touch
sheep meat agin in the world" said
Mr.. Farley.
Den cum nit me; he Won nifty
goot dog. But cum nit me and hold
his tail, ch ? Ish chop him off,"
"Sartin," said Farley, "if you want
me to, but you must cut it off close"
{" Yah, dat ish right; Ish make him

right here, you Won shcep-steal ras-
chull-I chop your tail in one two Its
tie pieces"
The poor animal unsuspectingly
obeycd, and Mr.. Schlopsh tied the feet
fore and aft, and placing the tail in
the Yankees hand, proceeded TO lay
it across a round piece of timber.
"Chock up" said Farley, as he ad,
justed the tail over the log.
"Yah, dat ish right. Now, you
tam ticfsheep, larns you peter luck" I"
said the Dutchmam.
And, as the axe fell, the Yankee
gave a sudden jerk, and brought the
dogs neck over the block, and the
head rolled over the side.

dropped the dog, that was leetle too

an English resident was desirous of
marrying Russian lady. The con-
sent of the Emperor was necessary,
and an influential friend, catching him
in a plant humor, obtained the neces-
sary ukase, which was at once forwar-
ded to the police. To hear was to O.

lover was aroused by q midnight visit,
and, with Siberia before his eyes,
tremblingly donned such garments as
he had. A few words explained the
matter, and the party then proceeded
to the residence of the lady, whom
they aroused, and then escorted the
bewildered pair TO the church, where
a shivering priest performed the nup

YANKEE NoTIoNs AND BRITISH In.
MENTIONS NOT EXHIBITED AT THr
WoRLD's FAiR.-As the London
Times seems to be greatly exercised
by the scantiness of the American pert
of the exhibition, and as the Ameri-
can agent is now waiting to receive
new contributions, we would suggest
that there are a number of +" Yankee
Notions" of which the originals could
not easily be placed even in the Crys,
tai Palace. The Times would un.
doubtedly be relieved and edited by
a display of the models, especially as
some of them are so peculiar and nov
ell that nothing Of the kind has yet
been seen in England.

Great Britain in the World's Fair,

device, by which the purest mountain
water may be drawn, at a touch, from
the pavement or wall, through all the
streets and chambers Of New York

couragcd abroad, being considered
dangerous to existing institutions.
.. A model Of Constitution

will go without the help of an army
to keep it from tumbling to pieces.
This peculiar invention is commen,
ded to the particular examination of

There are some old fashioned con-
trivanccs which attracted our earnest
attention in a tour through England
some years ago, but which, notwith-
standing the fulness of the British de-
partment, we do not see noticed in the
Times.
