The New York Tribune has article upon
the "HARD TINES" now coming upon us, after
the recent expansion and imitation, and says,that
the .'string was stretched until it snapped" Pri-
ces, stocks, wages,every thing is reported as
going down. The Tribune adds :-"Of course
many farmers will have to postpone improvements
that they would prefer to make forthwith, while
any number of comfortable mansions d luxurious

chants so rapidly as they have been, and mer-
chants who might have failed for half million if

WEDNESDAY, MORNING. JUNE %, 1854.

There was public demonstration in favor OF
the nationality of Poland at Sheffield on the 9TH
inst in which kossuth took part. He deserb-
ed the existing war as logical necessity. and in
one way or other he trusted freedom would profit
by il.
Abiding to the universal opinion entertained
in this country, that Russia has grown dangerous
to the freedom of Europe, and that she must be
checked in her Entertainments upon the indepen-
dence of nations. he threw out a warning that I'M
less diplomatists and politicians were called up
on to define what they meant by the freedom of
Europe and to state in what manner they intend-
ed to check the power Of Russia, 1t would IN the
end be discovered English blood bad been she'd
and millions of English money spent, in produce
ing result quite the contrary of what was ex-
peeted From consideration of the origin, the
progress, and the rational issue of the present
war, he drew the following conclusions THAT
il is the partition of Poland by which Russia has
grown dangerous TO the world.and which brought
Russia down to the Danubian Prineipalities, aud
thence to Hungary and that the oppression of
Hungary by Russian interference has been the
stepping stone to the present ambitious during
of the Cur.
If England. he said, had not allowed the spoil
ia.ion of Poland, and if she had protested against
Russian interference in Hungary, we should
have been spared the dangers and sacrifices of
the present war, without the spending of one En-
glish shilling. or the shedding of drop of En-
no sincerity I'D the profession or noponutai mean

same timereconstructed as independent nation.
and Hungary made independent and free Those
aims, he said, would be entirely subyerted by
England taking Austria for her ally, and he cal
led upon his hearers TO sign petitions and do all
they lawfully could to prevent the marriage Of
England to despotie Austria He declared his
conviction that a lasting peace could not be
cured without Poland, Hungary, aud Italy being
restored to their national rights.
Kossuth, in reply to letter from Mr. George
n. Sanders, declares that "whilst deplorng the
existence of slavery any where, all his principles
are against foreign interference with the domes-
tic affairs of another nation" Mr.. Sanders
object in eliciting this from Kossuth, is to assure
'friends in the United States that the Republic
can Representatives of Europe do in no way de-
sire TO interfere with any domestic question in
the United States, and especially with one where
in' besides the subject of slavery, so many other
considerations ofa political character are nyoly-

The Philadelphia North American comment
ing on the pending treaty with Mexico says;
1.-The remarkable readiness of His Serene High
ness, the one legged dictator, TO comply with the
conditions submitted to him, 70 eagerly take
whatever be can get from the United States for
the property. privileges and rights he agrees to
cede is a circumstance which either shows that
he understands the value of the bargain lie is so
anxious to conclude, or that he is acting in very
bad faith towards the nation over whose interests
and affairs he possesses, for the moment impe-
rial control. We have suspected from the be-
ginning that he was promoting tins scheme from
purely personal motives, that his object has been
to better his own pocuninry fortunes, and to ag
grandze himself, in total disregard of the welfare
of the State he processes to represent and should
he succeed in his effort to abstract SO DOC, 100
from the treasury of this county, We will not be
surprised to Learn that he has appropriated the
whole fund TO his private use, and absconded
from the land whose confidence and affections he
has so often basely betrayed and abused His
position as the present head of the Mexican gov
eminent, he must, from sufficient experience
know and feel to be emnenty precarious. Its
absolute power, however, while he can manage
to hold it, enables him to enforce apparent acqui-
essence in any project he may undertake, while
his art as diplomatist is such that he easily
continue to hide any enterprise of selfish ambi-
ton under plausible pretences of public policy
and expediency.

AN ABSENT WIFE.

The following exquisite lines, by George L
Prentice, were written some years ago at Biloxi
They have been often in print, but will bear pull
fishing again and again:
lis morn-the sea breeze seems to bring
joy, health and freshness on its wing;
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew,
And perfumes rise from every grove,
AS incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon wekin clear;
But am sad-thou art not here
IT'S noon-a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue wave fthe deep;
A soft haze, like Il fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream,
And many broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodawn bower,
Is cleaning like a lonely star,
But am sad-thou art afar
Ills eye--on earth the sunset skies
Are printing their own Eden dyes;
The stars come down and trembling glow
Like blossoms on the woyo below,
An like an unseen sprte the breeze
Seems lingering mid the orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot;
But am sad seee the not
It's mdnight-with a soothing spell
The far-oH tones of ocean swell
Soft as the mothers cadence mild,
Low bending DER her sleeping child;
And ON each wandering breese are heard
The rich notes of the hooking bird,
In many wild and wondrous lay;
But am sad thou art away!
sink in dreams-low, sweet and clear
Thy own dear voice is in mine car
Around my cheek thy tresses Irvine
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine,
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed,
Thy head is pillowed on my breast
Oh, have all my heart holds dear,
And am happy-thou art here

IRISH REPATRIATION. late number of the
Galway Packet says that emigration to the Uni
ted States is on the increase, the dread of i'm
pressment driving away thousands who fear be-
ing compelled TO serve in the British Navy. In
speaking on this subj Jet, the editor of the Packet
exelaims, with the characteristic fervor and exag
peration of the celt, that "hetofe the end of the
wear Ireland will be deserted, and the silence
and desolation which now brood over Come
mara, will be visible in the more populous dis
tricts of the country The Sligo Chronicle
noticesthe same flight of thousands to America,
and remarks that it is wholly inekploable in view
of the present prosperous condition OF Ireland
and the dsappontments experienoedby many of
the previous emigrants in their new homes. The
Athone Sentinel states that the railway station
is every day crowded with emigrants, and the
Dundalk Democrat says that every boat which
leaves the quays, carries off numbers of emf
grants from that and the adjoining counties.
The Waterford News and the Tuam Herald
chronicle similar departures. Last season, when
the scarcity of lahorers in5lreland promised bet
ter times for the poorer Glasses, it was supposed
that emigration would receive n serious check;
but though things are now prosperous, the emit
grafton, so far from diminishing, increases Many
districts in Ireland have been depopulated for
several years past and as our readers already
know, the tenant huts are leyelled, and crops of
grain and sheep pastures occupy extensive re
gions which were once populous The present
emigration is from sections where hitherto the
fever has not ragged much.

Congressional Cemetery at Washington.

L rom lne W asnlnSlOn Dldr, june ~
Some time back we furnished our readers with
an account of the Oak Hill Cemetery, on the
heights of Georgetown. we will now give a slight
account of another cemetery, situated at the
other extremity of Washington, known as the
Congressional Cemetery, and which like the
former, is well worthy ola visit. The Congress
onal Cemetery is situated east ofthe Capitol,
and was formerly known as the Washington
Parish Burial Ground. 1t comprised sometime
back an area of ten acres, but Is now considcra-
bv enlarged, the original burial ground being
rather thickly occupied with vaults and tombs-
The cemetery is laid out in avenues and walks
and as the visitor proceeds down the chief ave-
nue. he sees on either side the family vaults of
our principal citizens. But what most arrests
the attention, are the four rows of monuments
erected by Congress in memory of those Sena-
tors and Representatives who have at various
times died in this city. These are, generally,
monuments to departed Congressman rather
than graves containing their remainsfor here are
inscribed the names of Henry Clay, Calhoun,
John Q. Adams. Robert Rantoul and others, a
mounting to over hundred statesmen, whose
names are perpetuated in the records of history.
Besides these there are many similar monu-
ments of an earlier date, in another part of the
cemetery. 1t is to he noticed that these Con.
gressional monuments are all exactly alike in
SIZE form,architecture and dimensions, and a
part from the names inscribed on them contain
nothing of particular interest. They are all
built of white free stone, and in many instances
the names are becoming nearly ilegiblc. We
would propose, as an Improvement, that the let
tering upon them should be painted black, that
they may be the more easily deciphered. Inter
spersed among them there are, however, many
handsome monuments erected to the memory of
various meritorious officers of the United States
service. Here is the monument to Major Gener-
al Macomb, whose services at Plattsburg are
faithfully recorded ON it. 1t is handsome mon
ument surrounded by a sculptured helmet and
other, devices mathematical of his professio... \

name of Major General Brown. Here, also, I'M

statesman. A monument commentaries, in a

In notieingAthc nominations made by the Pres
dcnt, of General W. O. Butler of Ky, MS Gov
crnor of Nebraska, and A. II. Rceder, of Pa, MS
Governor of Kansas, the Union says, that as sit
was distinctly announced on the face of the bill
giving territorial governments to Kansas and
Nebraska, that it was not the intention of Con-
gress to legslate slavery into or out oi the Ter
ritories, in strict accordance with the spirit of
the law, the President has divided the appoint
ments between the North and South, giving to
Kansas where the chances of introducing slavery
are greatest, northern governor, and to Nebras
ka southernor.r We do not perceive how the
appointment of "a northern governor for Kan
sas, 'where the chances of introducing slavery
are greatest" COMFORTS with the spirit of the
late territorial enactment. The meaning of
that bill was that the indications of nature and
the uncontrolled will the people relative, to this
subject should be observed in both territories.
This movement Of the administration looks very
much like u cunnngly devised plan to direct
the decision of the matter adversely to the South

ing slavery are greatest 1t will not do to pre-

CONGRESSIONAL HoURs.--A correspondent of

"Old Member" writes:
Last year the British House of Commons

months of the present session, but fir pm having
often made the calculation during the latter part

can be easily done, be found TO exceed an aver
age of more than about two hours a day, no more ;
As a remedy for these short hours and long
sessions, the correspondent proposes that Con
gress shall not meet until 2 p. NJ, and that two
thirds three fourths or five ffths majority shall
be required to carry motion for adjournment
before p. NJ. This he thinks would reduce any
