NOT A LICK AMISS.

The following extract from the
summary article of Bennet's last Her
aid gives more hard hits than we usu'
ally see in SO small a space:
In another column we give long
speech, received by telegraph, at vast
expense, made by Commodore Stockton
on fogging in the Navy. This is anoth.
er Presidential speech, made for bunk.
UNI. Our Senatorial reporter showed
little tact in putting the press of New
York to such an expense for such mass
Of stuff, which every practical naval
man redicules. The speech of Stoc kton
did not deserve over twenty lines. and
it cos. about 5000 for telegraphing alone.
Any New York lawyer would make as
good speech for ten dollars.
1t appears that there is no need of
apprehending difficulty between the U.
States and Great Britain in consequence
OF the outrage committed on the Ameri-
can flag, by the British brig of war Ex-
press firing into the Prometheus. We
learn that Lord Palmsrston, late British
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, disavowed
the conduct of the commander of that
vessel, and gave assurance that he
would Immediately abandon the Mos
quito protectorate. This intelligence
is no doubt true; and We shall accord
ingly look, at nm early day, for the Brit
ish 10 Withdraw entirely from Mosquito
in which case, Of course the Nicaraguan
government will resume jurisdiction
over that portion of its territory. The
King of Mosquito and his suite will,
therefore, soon have to shift for them
selves. When his Majesty hears the
news he will be likely to excIaim-as q
certain prominent candidate for the
Presidency of the United States did
few years since-''where shall | 90 7"
Unless he be put on the pension list,
and supplied with whiskey and tobacco,
he will in all probability be induced to
his court and his throne, which
it is said, was whiskey barrel, to some
part of the British possessions in the
West Indies. If he should not take
this course, he would be capital specu-
lation fer Barnum. The King of Mos
quito, with his suite and throne, would
draw immensely in the United States"
as the Prince of Showmen said of Lola
Monies. We therefore recommend Bar
mum to send an agent after his Majesty
ut once, and secure him for exhibition in
Ibis country. He would be twice as
valuable to him as the Fejee mermaid,
and four times as much so as the woolly
horse, which Col Benton swore before
a Grand Jury at Washington was posi-
lively not caught on the other side of
the Rocky Mountains, by his son-in-law,
Col Fremont. as was represented.

ODE TO MUSIC.

ODE TO MUSIC.
BY THE RoAvINC AMERICAN.
When the gentlest zephyrs float,
With their fond tones of love,
And sweet music's touching notes,
Attend them as they rove;
o then, h ow sweet at even,
To list with thee awhile;
Then thy mel low notes are given,
Or breathed with woman's smile.
IT'S music's affective strain,
That thrills each senMve part
And strikes loves tenderest vein,
That circles round our heart.
When this life has lost its glow,
Some anthem sweetly sing,
when my heart is beating slow,
But gently touch the string"
Yetif music here 30 sweet
Have rapturous moments given,
Lighter, far, the heart must beat,
With psalms as sung in Heaven.

@ We learn from the Calaveras

G. We learn from the Calaveras
Chronicle, that Mr., Sheriff Marshall
shot couple of Frenchmen a few
days ago, at placer between Carson
and Murphy's Camps. The French
men had refused to obey an order of
court, swearing that they recognized
no law in California, and would not
obey its mandates. A large body of
them having got together and assumed
a hostile position, Mr.. Marshall and
his party found there was no recourse
left them but to use their weapons,
which they did with such effect as to
kill one of their antagonists on the spot,
and wound another severely.

the exigencies of war if you desire to preserve
your ancient renown as naval power you
must in my Judgment abolish the lash, and
adopt system of rewards and punishments in
its stead. You must abolish the liquor ration
you must alter the whole system of the recruit

LORD pALmERsrors RESIGNATION.

Lord Palmerston's retirement from the Brit
ish Ministry is the engossing topic of late
English papers The causes assigned are va
rious Some say it is attributable chiefly TO
the long-standipg hostility of Lord Grey who
merely made use of tie position of PalmerstOn,
in relation to Russia and Austria, as pretext
for presenting the alternative of his own or the
Foreign Secretary's withdrawal. Some allege
- y thG ff-'spd,hip shown by Palmerston to-
wsrii the Hapsssrssr Nspse bad placed Eng
land in an attitude of antagonisn to Austria
and his retirement was therefore rendered
necessary, to change this relation of hostility
Others report that the secret police of Louis
Napoleon that arrested Changarnier and Ca
yagnac found voluminous correspondence of
Lord Normandy, in which the British Govern
ment was represented as sincerely sympathlzlng
with the Republic, and hostile to the preten-
sions and character of Louis Napoleon; and yet
PalmerstOn is understood to have rather APP
proved of the coup detat by which Napoleon
dispersed the Assembly and became master of
the French People, willing to find in the Mill
tary Government an ally against the new Holy
Alliance
We presume that at present nothing GER
tain can be known by the public. 1t is quite
possible that by the force of circumstances,
the relations of Great Britain with other Pow
ers, both liberal and despotic, may have be-
come unpleasanty complicated; that the
responsibility of this is fastened upon Lord
Palmerston, who is known to be a bold, de-
cided, independent man that his old enemies
in the Cabinet have used the occasion against
him, and that his friends, for the sake of Sc
curing harmony, and with view to make the
attitude of England on the Hungarian ques-
ton and other kindred topics less obnoxious to
foreign Powers, have consented to his retire
ment without thereby contemplating an essen
tial change of policy; for his successor, Lord
Granville, is said to possess tendencies decided
~ liberal-more so on many points of general
politics than those either of Lord Clarendon or
Lord Palmerston.
