POLITICAL NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The following items were autographed from
this city yesterday:
"The appointments for the Territories Of
Nebraska and Kansas are ready, and will
probably come before the Senate tomorrow.
The House will concur in the Senate reso-
ution for recess from July 18th to October
16sh.
The Senate proposes to pass all the appro-
priation bills and the Homestead bill, before
the recess.
The superstition that the difficulty with
Spain is likely to be settled amicably, proves
fsIlacious. From the most reliable source il
appears that the Black Warrior affair remains
the bone of contention to favor the Administra-
TONS Interior designs upon Cuba. The Exec
utiye is feeling the pulses in the Senate and
House, to see how far Congress can be relied
on. Mr. Soule is encouraged in his demands
upon Spain, while the latter, sustained by
France, refuses all concessions, and is prepar-
ing for the emergency"

House Of Representatives. June IA, 1854.
The Speaker laid before the House COM
munication from its Clerk, transmitting an
estimate Of its expenses for the year 1855 /;
which was referred to the Committee of Ways
and Means
Mr. Orr said that az the debate on the Civil
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill would ter
inmate tomorrow, and as several gentlemen
had prepared speeches, he would move that
the House should go into Committee of the
Whole; which motion prevailed and Mr. Orr
was called to the chair.
Mr.. Brooks, Of South Carolina, arose, and
said that he was aware that in no place in this
country were speeches listened to with less at
tention, and in no place did they produce less
influence, than in this hall Bot as he did not
regard the action of the House yesterday az
postponing the consideration of the merits of
the Pacific Railroad bill, he would address the
House on that subject.
Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi followed, and
spoke of cur relations with Spain.
He recited the kidnapping case at New Or
leans in 1850; the execution of LOpeS's men,
which he declared to be in violation of the
stipulations Of treaties between the two Gov
ernmenss; and many other cases of alleged
outrage and injustice.
Mr. Singleton was in favor Of an immediate
NNih1''u upon SPaln lor repatriation LOT al 6neSe
outrages, for guarantees for the future and a
convenient tribunal for the decision of misun-
/ derStandings. He would urge this demand in
an tihclent manner, and, should it not be acce.
ded to, he would blockade the ports of Cuba
and take possession Of that Island.
! He believed that he spoke the sentiments of
the entire South, if not the whole country, upon
this subject.
MIR. Latham alluded TO the delicate relations
of our Government with Spain, in reference to
Cuba. He could have no idea of Cuba's pass
ing into the hands of any other nation than
ours
In due course Of time, Cuba would come I'M
der the hammer, but none could pay more for
it than ourselves We ought not, indeed to
permit competition for it. But time will

BosToN, JUNE 15.-One of the most destruc-
tive fires which ever visited Boston occurred
last evening. Merri6eld's building, with 90
adjoining buildings - tho whole covering a
space of four acres-were totally consumed.
By this terrible calamity, upwards of 1900
wOrkmen have been thrown out of employment.
Ii is believed that the total loss will exceed
$500 600
The report that several persons lest their
lives, proved, on Investigation, to be untrue.
An immense crowd filed the streets which
led to the scene of confsgration, and the most
intense excitement prevailed. Gov. Washburn
and other prominent citizens worked faithfully
at the engines
meeting of the citizens Of Boston was held
in Faneuil Hall this morning, and suitable
measures adopted to secure relief for tho fsmi-
lies OF the workmea who have thus been so
suddenly thrown out of employment.
MIR. Merri6eld's loss is estimated at S 90 600,
insured for $4,000. The other losses, in the
aggregate, will range from 100000 to $780,
900.

The Young QuakeresS;
OR,
THE UNWELOOME GUEST

The tea table, covered with its snowy
cloth, was spread in Farmer Bromley's
kitchen, and Mrs. Bromley was prepar-
ing the evening meal. A glance at the
matron's smiling face was sufficient to
assure one, beyond doubt, that in her
younger days she must have been pos
sessed of no ordinary share of beauty
Though the light and shade Of forty
summers had come and gone over Aer
head, her complexion was still clear and
somewhat brilliant, aud the roses of
health fingered upon her smooth, round
ed cheek-and there looked to be a
world of ofhappiness nesting quietly down
in her heart, judging from the sweet
placid expression of her large blue eyes.
Her brown, wavy hair drawn smoothly
back under the scant frill of her close
fitting mob cap, and the style Of her
dress, designated her as a Quakeress.
With quick, short steps, she hustled
from the milk room to the table, and
soon the board was covered with all the
uCCCoSdIlCS tudt a 4NCW
land farmers supper. After fully as
suring herself that everything was as it
should be, she went to the outer door,
and taking the "shell' from over it, she
blew shrill blast to call her husband
from his labor-then retureing, seated
herself at the table, with her knitting
work in her hand, and bunch of aspar-
agus twigs at her side, with which to
brush off each intruding fly, that should
dare to light on the tempting viands
spread out before them.
"Mother," said beautiful girl, who
had just entered the room. "l'm going
to the spring to get some soft water for
father, and will be back in a moment"
A tear trembled in Mrs. Bromleys
eye as she watched the 1.-the, graceful
form of the young girl as she bounded
across the field, and she soliloquized,
half aloud, "our Edith is pretty girl

For the Literary Echo
DOst thou RENE lnber.

Dost thou remember when we twain were parted,
Long. weary years ago.
Turn thy thoughts hack. as mine are broken hearted
Across the waste of wo
That lieth spread between this hour of shadow
And dimly gathering haze,
And that lone spot where with sad tears we buried
The hopes of our young days.
Keep'st thou the memory of time of gladness,
Ere our life's light grew dim,
When we two roamed with ne er thought of sadness
Listening fair Natures hymn;
And dreamed of years to bright and peaceful
As those that specded then,
or lives of changeess love, and deeds Of blessing
Done for our fellow men!
o! remember how that vision faded
Before the wine-cups gleam,
How the death hue too quickly overshaded
My spirits cherichcd dream
And my e-path grew drear, and sad. and lonely,
Missing thee from my side
And earth's glad music seemed an echo only
OF joys that long had died
And thou didst spurn the crown Of fadeless glory
That waited for thy brow,
And gavest thy name to grace a drunkard's story
may not breathe il now
Yet still it eth in my hearts recesses,
Bathed with such bitter tears
As the worn spirit, in its secret chambers,
Sheds o'er lost hopes of years.
Comes there memory of thy high hopes ever
Back to thy worldworn heart,
Steals there strain across thy spirits fever,
In which earth has no part,
Waking sigh for all the wealth Of being
Cast recklessly away,
A struggling Of the spirit; bowed and fettered,
For the glad light of day?
we'll believe thou hast not all forgotten
That blessed olden time,
That to thy secret soul there whisper voices,
Born in holier cline;
That on the farther shore Of that dark river
Whose waters round me swell,
The clouds that veiled love shall fade for ever
And all shall yet be well. J.FT
