The MAINE LIQUoR LAw.-We have received
the Report of the Mayor of Portland, to the Al
dermen and Council of that city, made Jan. 18th,
le52, on the operation of the new Liquor Law in
that city The Mayor gives the most encourag-
ing account of the effects of the law on the city
lie says the streets of Portland are perfectly quiet
streets which formerly required four watchmen to
keep order now require none an open rum shop
OF any kind is unknown in the city; very few
persons, and those chiefly foreigners, continue to
sci liquor, but with the greatest secrecy The
Mayor thinks that the quantity of liquor now sold
IN Portland is not fifteenth of what it formerly
was, and that not -quarter as much is sold
In the State. The number of persons admitted to
the Aims house. and assisted by out-of-doors help,
has been materially reduced, and the House OF
Correction, from having SO or 40 commitments for
drunkenness, is now entirely empty The Mayor
IS sanguine in the ultimate and complete triumph
of the law. He says
have reason to believe that the law is every
day becoming more firmly fixed in the favorable
regards Of the people of this city and State, and
am confident that no retrograde step will be Ia
ken here IN relation to this subject.

Daniel Webster.

Low breaks the surf on Marshtield's shore,
Soon dirge like shall the dark sea roar,
And moaning thunders Of the deep
Along the cliffs Of freedom sweep
Each throb upon the lightning wire,
May tell us Webster will expire
Webster, the country's noblest boast,
Mid Statesmen, intellectual host
The Constitutions shield sublime,
Splendid Cicero Of our time;
The great expounder of the law,
OF Union, holding worlds In awe;
Coliseum of Freedom's Rome,
Delpbian oracle Of her home,
Worshipped at home, revered abroad,
In mortal mind almost God,
A nation's patriot mighty man
Blood, heart, aud soul American,
Arouse. old Ocean, in thy might,
Woe pals marshfield in starless night.
Rege. in thy elemental war.
Till Natures parting thrill IL DER;
His spirit calm shan mount the storm,
Earth can but claim his dying form;
For Oft his clear and giant mind,
When faction scoffd ut resson blind
Rainbow'd the storms in senate hall
The Unions champion first of all.
When passion sway'd rebellious men,
A Daniel in The lions den,
They qusil'd before his fierce recoil.
Soon will he rest above turmoil,
For Freedom waits to close his eyes,
When glory calls him to the skies.
Go pilgrims sad, to Marshtield-leara
A lesson at the patriots urn,
Musing at morn or set Of sun.
Like the bright orb the race he run
How Webster, taught In common school
Child OF the people rose to rule
How Fame, rewsrdiug her proud son,
GaIlsods his name with Washington.
At Marsh6elds classic shrine adore
Ambition. Love thy county more.
