Thus does God compensate his children who
deny themselves from love to him, by inward
peace and happiness of which only those who
make such sacrifices can have any conception.
We cordially recommend the book to the
Christian reader. Ii would be hardly possible
TO read these devout aspirations after holiness,
intimate communings with God, and earnest
oonsecration of the whole soul and being to
the work Of saving souls, without feeling inn

ADMINISTRATION DEFEAT IN PHILADELPHIA.
/ IL Ia we'll known that the Administration was
DESTROYS that the Hon. John Robbins, M. c..
should be nominated as Mayor Of Phiadel-
| plia and had it's agents in the Custom House
and Post Office Mt work to accomplish that
erd. The very fact defeated the purpose in
tended. The Democracy, disguised at Admin
istrative interference with local affairs, deter
mined to give it pointed rebuke, which they
did, by the selection of the Hon. Richard Vaux
~ their candidate, by large majority. The
Administration must try again somewhere
else.-New York Daily National Democrat.
May it not be asked, whether an Admins
tration that could interfere with the expression
Of the popular will in New York, Massachu-
sets, Mississippi New Hampshire, Counecti-
cut &c., would, from any cause, refrain from

possibility of tho political independence Of
Canada, and the continued friendly feelings of
the mother country. Lord Elgin replied, and
alluded with kindness and respect to the Uni
ted States. Lord Ellesmere toasted Mr.. Blu
chanan, who said among other good things
e cannot suffer this occasion to pass with
out expressing my qualification with her Ma
iesty's wise and liberal declaration in favor of
neutral commercial rights during the existing
war 1t is worthy of the civilization of the
nineteenth century, and worthy of the best
constitutional sovereign who has ever sat upon
the proud and powerful throne of Great Britain.
The time will arrive when war against
private property upon the ocean will be en-
tirely prescribed by all civilized nations, as it
has already been upon land, and when the
gallant commanders Of the navies of the world
will esteem it rs great disgrace to rob a
peaceful merchant vessel upon the seas, az the
general of an army would now do to plumber
the private house of an unoHending citizen.o

10 The number of emigrants that arrived
at the port of New York on Thursday, April
20, was 5,5Os. They may meet with q reluc-
tant reception in our cities but there are rich
lands flowing rivers, and bright skies, in the
far West and wherever family of these peo-
pie cultivate hundred acres of this land, they
double the value Of another hundred acres to
the north, to the south, to the east, and to the
west, Of them.
ia dispatch from New Orleans states
that the steamer Black Warrior had arrived
there, with Havana dates to the 10th inst
The authorities were civil towards the officers,
and permitted the ship to clear in transit after
Office hours. But we suppose the Black War
rior had her papers all right this time.

Mirror says that upon the stage of our most
fashionable theatres, and where ladies Of re-
inement congrcgatc, profane explosives are
profusely sprinklcd throughout the play that
