naming firm. The following are the last quota
tons of the Committee of Brokers, given out pre-
vious to the sailing of the America: New Orleans
Fair sgd, Middling 15-16d, Upland Fair sgd,

Western Canal Flour was selling at f9s 3D., and
Ohio at els. Sales of yellow Corn were made at
28s. Cd. and white at Sis. Cd. ConsoIs closed
at 984s.
SECOND DEsPATcH.-The commercial intelligence
convened to Liverpool by the American steamship
ARCTIC, strengthened the feeling of dullness and
inactivity then prevalent, and at the departure of
the steamship AFRICA, the sales of Cotton were
unusually limited. Prices are irregular, and
slight reduction has been made on ali descriptions
of American under Fair.
BRowN q SHIPLEY's Circular says the decline is
fully 3D. The Brokers' Circular quotes Fair Mo-
bile at SID, Middling at 13-16d.. and Ordinary
at 34@3sd. Other descriptions are the same as
quoted in the first despatch.
Breadstuffs are much depressed. Brown &
SHIPLEY's Circular quotes decline in Flour of 3D.

The steamship AMERICA arrived at Liverpool on
the 29th, and the ARCTIC on the 31st ult
The business in Manchester responded to the
dullness of the Liverpool market; Spinners and
Manufacturers are anxious to renew engagements,
but buyers had the advantage, and goods and
yarns are lower. Money was abundant and sales
were effected at unchanged prices. Consuls were
held steady at 98s@98a.
THIRD DEsPATCH-The French Chambers were
opened on the 29th ult., by the President in per-
son, attended by briient staff, and met with a
warm reception The President read his speech,
which announced that it was theinterest of France
to keep up spirit of amity with all nations, dis
claimed the intention of assuming the Emperorship
but declared that if disafected intrigue forced
him, he would demand from the people, in the
name of the repose of France, new title which
would irrevocably fix on his head the power with
which the people had invested him. There was
immence applause during the reading of the speech

To check the heart which vainly burned
With love that unsought;
The flame which lit my spirit first,
In youths bright, dreamy hour
Which awhile so fondly nursed,
Hath lost its former power!

Was to thee all unknown;
By thee unheeded and unseen,
| thought of thee alone.
How oft amid the throng I've wept
For glance from thine eye;
There by thou hast often steppd,
Unconscious was nigh!
loved thee once oft have gazed
Upon thy beaming brow,
TIL thence methought a radiance blaZed
Too bright for aught below
And have listened to thy song,
And viewed thy smiling face,
Till seemed borne wings along,
Thro heavens aerial space
loved thee once-but
Shall dim mine eye for thee;
In other ears thy fattery pour
IT'S nothing now TO me.
Nor will thy memory a smart,
For the last tie is riven,
And possess the heart
So idly to thee given! M. A. H.

And will not yield to thine
Take, take the life that Heaven gave,
And let my hearts blood stain thy sod;
But know We not Kentucky's brave

You've quenched fair Freedoms sunny light,
Her music tones have stied
And with deep and darkend blight,
The trusting heart has fill'd!
Then do you think that l will kneel
Where such as We have trodl
Nay! point your cold and threat'ning steel
IL kneel to none but God.

Upon quiet river
And gently its sleeping breast
The moonbeams softly culver
Sweet thoughts of home light up NV brow
When goaded with the rod;
Yet, these cannot unman me now

And though a sad and mournful tone
Is coldy sweeping by;
And dreams of bliss forever flown
Have dimd with tears mine eye
Yet mines heart unyielding still
Heap on my breast the clod;
