"WEsTWARD nor OR, THE PIoNEERs SONG
AN AMERICAN MELoDY.-BY JOEL AUSTIN.
Tune" 4unt SaHy"
List my love, the steady stroke
From the woodland sprnging;
How the sullen echo comes ~.
Oer ltasea ringing!#
Would you give the forest brown,
Or the steep hoary,
For the heartess joys of TOWN.
Known to us in story
REFRAIN.
Westward! Westward! Westward Ho, for me,
We clear the path and lead the waythe triumph of
free! (Repeat)
Many day, a sunny day,
Is gone; but we remember
Still bleak and lonely one
In the grey December:
Friends you left, and came with me
What had to win your
Nothing but this sturdy soul,
And thisir sincw!
Westward, &c.
Still we live, and still we love-
Let the world " forget us;
Far from all its hollow ways,
What have to fret usl
Yet among the parted trees,
In the strainng distance,
Sec you not the settlers smoke
ChokeS free exstence.+
Westward, &c.
Here, at last, we raise our cot

Not wind shall wake the deep,
Or Zephyr cool the land,
But shall fill our breasng sails,
Or tell presumptuous Powers
BY our floating flag of stars,

THE New POSTAGE BILL will 60 into opera
| ton on the first Of July next, and it is import
ant that the true Interpretation to be given to
it should be known at an early day. We called
attention the day after the passage of the law
by Congress to that clause on the bill which,
after stating the specific rates per quarter upon
newspapers and periodicals, says:
"Subscribers TO all periodicals shall be required
to pay one quarters postage in adrance; in such
cases the postage shall be one-hay the foregoing
rates" .,
The " foregoing rates are fve ten, fifteen or
| twenty cents per quarter for weekly papers,
within so miles, 800 miles, 1000 miles, &C., and
the question very naturally occurs, what is
meant by periodicals? Nobody seems to under
stand the two clauses as they stand. We have
been looking for the instructions to postmasters
from the Postmaster General for some explana-
ton, but they have as yet not been given. The
newspapers have now taken up the subject, and
we hope soon to have correct interpretation.
4 The Journal Of Commerce says: N.
| The question for solution important alike to
publishers and subscribers, is this Are news
papers "periodicals ?" and are they included in
this provision? Such is the apparent import Of
the law, and there is nothing to initiate against
this construction, in the other sections. The
reason for discount of one half to pre- paying
subscribers may have been, to secure certainty
of payment and consequent increase of revenue.
| The provision cannot refer to magazines in
distinction from newspapers, for newspapers,
pamphlets, periodicals and magazines" arc
spoken of in connexion, in preceding para
graph If newspaper is not periodical"
a magazine is not. Our great Lexicographer de-
fines periodical to be magazine or other
publication that is published at stated or regular
periods" Is not newspaper, daily, weekly or
monthly, thus published? Must not its sub
scribers, then, after the first of July, pay quar-
terly in advance one-hdLf the rates generally
understood to be charged by the new lawf
Such appears to be the fact. E
| If it be the fact, it is very important one to
newspaper subscribers and publishers.

The PUBLIC EDIFrcEs OF LoNpoS.-Asa piece
of valuable information, we quote from the New
York Tribune the correction of mistake made
by Mr.. Greeley, from the pen of writer who
evidently well understands his subject. He
says:
wish to correct a mistake in Mr.. Greeley's
letter No. Z, where he writes about " The Build
ings'' of London. He states that (" among the
materials most extensively used is fine white
marble OF peculiarly soft, creamy appearance,
which looks admirably until blackened by smoke
and time Regent street, and several of the
aristocratic quarters west of it, are in good part
built of this marble; but one of the finest, fresh
est specimens of it is st. Georges Hospital,
Piccadilly." Sir, am a practical marble and
stone-cutter | have not left London yet twelve
months, and have worked in that city ten years
out of the last thirteen. l do assure you there
is not in all London one hospital church, house,
| or any other building, built of marble. l never
saw there marble used externally, except in the
Arch" in front Of Buckingham Palace. Had
Mr.. Greeley written Wud, colored and painted
''creamy appearance" he would have been
near the mark. The walls, externally, are
plastered with what is called "Compo' there
that is, inferior Roman cement, mixed with u
double quantity of coarse sand and water That
is what they make their marble front of. 1t is
nearly black when used; when finished, they
color or paint it. If they color their fronts,
they have to renew them every year to keep
them decent Those that are painted keep ap-
pearances longer; besides, paint preserves the
mud from the effect Of the FROST which l have
seen pull it down ere it had been up a month.
do not question the designs of the buildings, but
the materials are not to be compared with the
frstrate stores of Broadway. hope Mr.. Gree
ley will not be deceived by the "Cockneys" as
much as he has been by the external part of the
buildings in London.
