The Tower of London.

On the left bank of the Thames. about a
mile below London bridge, and in the Oldest
Part Of the metropolis, stands one of the chief
monuments of history. Its gray turrcts are
among the first objects to arrest the eye of q
stranger entering London from the sea : and
the most careless mariner who drops down the
river on its outward voyage, can scarcely pass
the dismal water gate through which, from
age to age, 4 long procession of the wise and
the brave, the beautiful and the innocent. has
passed never to return, without some transient
touch of human feeling. In the long line of
gay or noble victims-victms OF policy or
private hatc-the eye catches, as it were, and
singles cut. among the crowd of Towards.

her foot on the step as though it were the neck

the hush of the council, the murmur of the

H.. the Tower was royal residence as well as
a state prison; and for all the intervening
years its history is the history Of the English
Court.

SECRETARY MARCY Nothing but simple
Justice is done to Mr.. MARCY in the following
extract from letter Of the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Journal Of Com
merCe:
1t is understood that the duties of all the
departments have been excessively laborious.
The Secretary Of State, especially, has been
taxed with an amount of intellectual labor that
no ordinary powers of endurance could posi-
oily surmount. There have been the fishery
and reciprocity. the neutral rights, the Central
American, the Peruvian, the Cuban and other
negotiations all involving questions of great
moment to be discussed with astute diplomats
of various languages, and in none of them has
Mr.. Marcy failed to justify his great reputa-
ton for acumen, sagacity and tirmncss.
