lone of the firms who suffered by fire in this
city on Saturday night last Messrs H. Mills Il Bro
Their, find, to their cost, that certain New York
Insurance Company, in which they had effected
their insurance, is insolvent, having failed some
two weeks since, and that their policy is not worth
cent This should be warning 70 our citizens
how they rcpose confidence in the many trashy
foreign insurance companies having agencies in
this CITY,"
Now, Mr. Editor, is all this trueS If 50, why
not speak out manfully and give names? The
",carning" may be good, but common honesty
and " fair play" would seem to require names and

Admittance 25 Cents.
"A statue of surprising merit. Its power and
pathos are independent of time, place, and condition.
The charm and power of the statue consist in the
amazing truth with which the two great elements Of
humanity and mortality are delneated. The artist
gives us all the pathos and the tragedy of death,
without its ghastliness and horror We feel ourselves
in the presence Of that awful power before whose icy
scepre all mortal distinctions leyelled, No statue
was ever more marked by simplicity Nothing has
been done forefect No vulgar applause is courted,
and the decency and dignity of truth scrupnlously
observed" -Hla,,ds Sc Months Ia Italy.
"A wonderful production Of art Its simplicity Is
such that 1t does not strike at irst the admiration
comes afterward, and in tide sufficiently deep and
strong. II is the moment CT exhaustion, OF aintness
of death. Mrs. Ellis
This statue is ndissolubly associated with Byron's
immortal stanza:
see before me the Gladiator lie. t
He leans upon his hand his manly brow
Consents to death, but oonquers agony;
And his droop'd head sinks gradually low,
And through bis side the last drops, ebbing slow
From the red cash, fall heavy, one by one,
Like the first of a thunder shower; and now
The arena swims around him he is gone,
Ere ceased the thurman shout which hailed the
wretch who won.
He heard it, but be needed not his eyes
Were with his heart, and that was far away
He reck'd not Of the life he lost nor prize,
But where his rude hut by the Danube lay:
There were his young barbsrians all at play;
There was their Dacian mother; he, their sire,
Butchered 10 make Roman holyday. !.
All this rushd with bis blood Shall he expire,
And unsvengedp Arise, 70 Cloths, and glut your
ire.

A correspondent Of tho New York Adver-
tisar, writing from this city, furnishes The. fol
lowing ife-like sketch of this distinguished
Senator
"Clayton is the tall man in the Senate now.
Large and commanding in person, though not par
ticularly graceful he attracts the attention u Wis
tiers. As he sits seriously in his seat he might
be mistaken for Presbyterian elder or Congre-
gational deacon, from his coloriess face and the
crown Of stiff, white hair that covers ms head
the signal, ! suppose, Of his proximity 70 sixty
years Though man OF an apparently powerful
constitution he has had turns of i'll health but his
mind is one of great and undiminished Igor. In
him, there is fine balance of the intellectual pow
era and, perhaps were it not for his love Of ease
he would be one Of the most purely intellectual
and accomplished men in the country. Possessing
a beautiful Imagination, neither ford nor jejune
he seldom draws largely on It's resources, and al
ways holds 1t subservient TO the mann object of his
discourse. He has prodgious memory, wonder
fully retcntiye OF facts and principles. II is the
memory of statesman as well AZ of lawyer. OF
late years he has practised little at the bar.
client whom he has consented to serve considers
his case gained--at least before Delaware jury.
Some notable instances might be quoted Of his
success against all the intrinsic probabilities of the
case. ~
"The highest fee he has received in legal trans
actions was, think, thirty thousand dollars. II
was IN an action for damages against an ncorpo-i
rated company. That he Is wealthy, it is scarcely
necessary to add. Unlike some distinguished men,
he has the sense and prudence TO take care Of his
wealth, while at the same time he is generous with
out blowing trumpet. Bereaved of his wife and
two children, (his whole family he dspenses his
bounties among cherished collateral relations On
legal case fully undertaken he has bestowed an
immense amount Of attention, toiling day and night
as il he possessed only application, not genius; a
good example for young lawyers, who rely upon
the latter to the neglect Of the former In the
Senate, in minority without the stimulus Of pat
ronage and power, Mr.. Clayton stands firmly on his
principles, and has, since his return to that body,
given some fine specimens of parliamentary debat-
ing especially in his encounters with Senator
Douglas. Having a fine, full, manly voice, and an
Undertaking command Of language, without impet-
uosity, he impresses the nearer with vivid sense
of his oratory, and gives presage of nsuring an
allied place among the eloquent statesmen Of the
republic" sss
