sH5~ The New York Post is credibly informed
that Immediately, or very soon after the intell-
geace of the assault made by Spanish cruiser up
on the El Dorado reached Washington, Mr.. MARCY
had an interview with the Spanish Minister, which
resulted in an immediate and unconditional admis-
sion by the latter, that his government has been
guilty of tresnsss upon our commerce, and a
promise to send Instructions at once to Gov. Con-
CHA, to that hereafter no vessels sailing under
the American flag. however suspicious it may ap-
pear, shall be fred ct, brought to- unless within
three marine leagues of the Shore which is the ex-
tent of marine jurisdiction conceded to all nations
having sea exposure. Such concessions were
cheerfully made by the Spanish minister, and his
instructions 10 accordance with them are already
in the hands of Governor CoHcH4.

the rerrible calamity in aermanv.

The New York Stats Zeitung, con-
tains among the news brought by the
steamer Nashville, most heart-rending
tale from Dantzie, dated the 31st Of
March last.
The breaking up and floating down Of
the ice on the Vistula, which has been
so often the source of great damage to
the surrounding low lands, has this
spring taken place with such terrible Vi
olence as to surpass anything of the kind
within the last fifty years.
The strong dykes, constructed at an
immense cost along the banks of the riy-
er have been swept away in many places
by the infuriated element, and four hun.
dred square miles of the most fertile
plains, the best wheat producing district
in the world, are covered By water, and
have the appearance of lake.
One hundred human corpses have al
ready been picked up near single place,
(Tiegenhoff) when the above report was
sent off.
The loss of life and property mus
have been terrible. The scenes of mis-.
cry, anguish, and sorrow so suddenly
created by this awful calamity, beggal
description, and the depth of the exist
| ing distress can be fully fathomed only
Iby persons actually present or intimate.

Attempt to Sound Niagara River.

Capt. Roebling has made second at
tempt to sound the Niagara River at the
Suspension bridge. He used piece of
iron of forty pounds weight, attached to
a No.rl1 wire-all freely suspended. SO
as not to impede the fall of the weight.
He then let it fall from the bridge, dis
lance of two hundred and twenty FIVE
feet. If struck the surface fairly with
the point down, but was out of sight no
longer than about one second, when it
made its appearance again on the sur
face one hundred feet down stream and
skipped along like chip until it was
checked by the wire. He then COM
menced hauling it in slowly which made
the iron bound like ball, when cake
of ice struck it and ended the sport. In
letter to the Buffalo Democracy Capt.
Roebling says:
am satisfied that no metal has suffi-
cient specific gravity to pierce that cur
rent-even with the momentum acquired
by fall of 925 feet. The velocity OF
the iron when striking, must have been
about equal to 124 feet per second
and consequently its momentum neal
5000 lbs, Its surface opposed to the
current was about so sub. inches. This
will give an idea of the strength of that
current, and at the same time hint at the

Original Poetry.
Far he Herald ef Freedom.
Willie.
By MRS. N. r. HARLow.

We laid our darling down to rest
One holy Sabbath day,
Ills waxeb hands upon his breast
10 deaths cold sleep he lay;
Ills sunny hair, so smooth and still,
Was parted on his brow
No anguish now its pulses thrill,
For angels claim him now
Those rounded limbs will never more
Light dance with baby glee,
Deaths film his eye has covered Ger
That once glanced love on me;
Those ruby lips so much like life,
SO sweet that angel smile,
Icould not deem death gain'd the strife
Vert thou not still the while.
Now rest thee darling meath the flowers
Which DER thee sweetly bloom,
Thy life was but one sunny hour
From birth unto the tomb;
Let rosy dawn first kiss thy grave
As PlGbus wakes the day,
And gently, too. about the wave
Ills latest evening ray.
Why should we mar the swee. repose
Which blessed angels give,
In murmuring tho'ts. and selfish woes,
Because thou couldst not iyel
Too sweet an angel ever thou
On this cold earth to roam,
The Shepherd calls thee gently now
And bids his lamb coine home.
Shall we then strive to chain thee here
A prisoner in his cell,
Where's care. and pain, and ev'ry fear,
Too deep for words to tell!
No! HE thee, HE thee. to the fold
Where angels wait for thee,
And when my days on earth sre told
Then sweetly welcome me.
