A BeautffuI Poem =.

The FIRST thing, in The way Of business, that our
hands touched on last Monday morning was the
charming poem on "Mv Brother Hardly had
the morning risen through It's first hour ofsunshine,
when, as we were wondering how much OF the
gentle Sabbath would attend our toll through the
busy week, this delicate and fragrant breath
brought its sweet refreshing 10 our hearts.
The fair author is bul seventeen years OF age.
A highly gifted friend " hose eyes are always open
the tokens OF genius and whose heart is full of
the music ofpoetry, writes US privately about her.
The facts of the letter are touching and while
dclicacy forbids using several things named
in il, we may yet state that the circumstances
with which this child OF genius has struggled, are
such 10 move any heart TO deep feeling.

oh, briar rose, chamber,
And cover the chamber
The chamber so dreary and lone--
Where The meekly closed lips
Aud eyes in eclipse,
My brother lies under the stone
oh, violets, cover,
The narrow roof over
oh, cover the window and door
For never the lights
Through the long days and nights,
Make shadows across the floor
The lilies are blooming the lilies are white,
Where his play haunls used 10 be
Aud the sweet cherry blossoms
Blow over the bosoms
OF birds, in the old root tree.
When ! hearon the hills the shout OF the storm
In the roar of the vally, the roar Of the river ;
shiver and shake the hearth stone warm,
As think ofhis cold "forever'
lis white hands are folded and never again
With song ofthe robin or plover
When the summer has come with her bees and
her grain,
VIII he play ~ the meadow clover.
oh, dear little brother
My sweet little brother
In the palace above the sun
oh, pray the good angels
The glorious evangels
To take me-when life is done.

ship Pacific arrived here this morning at clock,

Van Buren, and family, Mrs. Commodore Perry
and Colonel Plume, bearer of dispatches.
The news by this arrival, from the seat Of hos
tlites consists wholly Of the details OF the recent
repulse of the Allies by the Russians. II appears
that this repulse has not damaged the Allies ser-
ously, and the position Of affairs was considered
sufficiently satisfactory
The latest news from the Crimea says that
Lord Raglan was dangerously ill., and asked to be
recalled.
The total loss of the Allies on the 18th was
over 5000 men; but the army was nevertheless
in good spirits, and preparing for another assault
The correspondence is only down to the l4th
No further battles have occurred either on land
or at
Austria continues to disband her army.
The English and French recprocally blame
each other for the disasters at Sebastopol.
Pelisser's dispatches state that the city will
soon be completely invested.
The allies retain possession Of the Round tower,
the Cemeteries, and the Mamelon.
The cholera had appeared among the French
troops.
Gortschakof's dispatches state that the allies
fire had weakened, and that the allied troops,
which crossed the river Tchernaya, had returned.
The Latest.
Lord Palmerston denies that Lord Raglan has
asked recall He had been sick, but was recov-
ering.
despatch from the Baltic fleet, dated June
25th, states that Sweaborg had been bombarded,
and the stores destroyed.
Hango had also been bombarded.
The Russians admit that the CossacSs boat show
ed flag of truce, but they feared treachery.
Great movements were taking place among the
allied squadrons
The East India mail arrived al Marseilles on
Friday
VARNA, Thursday-Generals Brown, Penne-
tether and Codrington are sick
Part of The foreign legion had arrived from
England.
The London Saturday Times states that the
Emperor Alexander is seriously i'll.
The King Of Prussia has also been for some time
i'll, and his reign is probably drawing to a close.

the fact Of the arrival Of small party Of Indians

Il appears that, directly after they breakiasied,
on Monday, they repaired 10 he Bureau d Indian
Affairs, and there had talk,' through an inter-
prefer, with Mr., Mix, the acting commissioners
the purp2r Of their conference being the effect,
that they wanted their Great Father to invest

the dignity OF great or incipal chief Of The kaw
tribe, and give him military coat with epaulellrs

THE GREAT LAND CASE.
Our readers have been apprized of the confirma
ton of the so-caled ''Bolton and Barron's"
claim to the property located at the emission
Dolores, +" San Francisco county. The coniirna-
ton of this claim affects the interests of large
number of citizens, and involves the fortunes Of
many who claim under, and others claiming ad-
yersey to said claim. 1t is generally understood
that this large tract (over 10000 acres) in and inn
mediately adjacent to San Francisco, is the joint
property Of Palmer Cook & Co., of that city,
and residents of Philadelphia furthermore, that
the Reading Railroad Company also largely
interested in this decision by purchase, which, if
true, must materially advance their stock in your
market. This property is exceedingly valuable,
and the decision has given very general satistac-
ton 10 the community at large. Squatters, of
whom there legions, are OF course perfectly
indignant, and wild with rage, holding public
meetings, denouncing the commissioners in UNI
measured terms.
Mr.. Bolton, in 1876, notified all parties Of his
rights and proposed to lease sell upon easy
terms The lands were granted in 1876 by Gov
emor Pco, TO the Padre Santillan, the resident
priest of the mission, upon the condition that he
would pay the debts of the mission, Cat that time
amounting to few thousand dollars and COM
ply with few other unimportant conditions.
These conditions were complied with, the debts
paid, and the Padre put in judicial possession.
Matters went on very quietly, until the occupa-
ton of the country by the Americans, and the
subsequent discovery of gold, when the priest
found himself involved in all kinds of trouble
with the ''settlers." Litigations were crowding
upon him, and finding himself totally inadequate
TO the contest, he sold his claim 10 Mr.. Bolton
and moved off to Mexico, his native country.
Had he retained possession Of the claim he would
at this day have been one of the richest men in
