This Raltic,s News.

The Baltic's advices are one week later
than by the Asia. News from the seat of
war and from England is of much interest.
The leading item is the reconstruction of
the ministry, with Palmerston as PREMIER
All the old ministry return except the Earls
of Aberdeen, and New Castle, and Lord John
Russell. This gives Palmerston the full su-
premacy, and the cabinet is we'll balanced
between wings, tories and liberals. The War
policy, of course, will be energetic and bold
after the reminder the cabinet received from
the onslaught made by the House of Com
mons on the inquiry into the conduct of the
has long been figuring for the full reins, and
now that he has them it will be seen if he is
a worthy successor of Chatham and Peel.
The news from the cabinet and from the
Crmea is of most warlike character
Every thing seems to shadow war in the
heart of the continent. The Germanic states
are to place their contingents on war foot
ing-rumor says that the Emperor Napoleon
is to command on the Rhine--the Gar has
drawn in his frontier armies and centers
them around Warsaw and other strongholds
the Russians are in the Dobrudsja and
probably design to regain it in order to COM
mand the mouths of the Danube-the Gar
has ordered the grand dukes Michael and
Nicholas into the Crlmea to attack the GlL1eS.
Omar Pacha is to defend Eupatoria. These
are the items which come to us from that
Europe which is soon to be deluged in blood.
| A grand battle is soon to be fought before
Sebastopol-the Russians on the ofcnsiUe as
we'll as defensive.
Does this look like the peace promised by
the last Vienna conference We once told
our readers that the Gar did not suddenly
ccont tho alliec' internreta atiOu without a
purpose and it now appears that it was but
to foil Austria in the Germanic diet and to
give himself time to throw more troops into
the Crimea. The willy Gar has, without
doubt, completely fooled the Powers, and
now appears to have the vantage ground SO
assuredly that we shall not be at all aston
ished to hear of the allies being defeated be-
fore Sebastopol.
I The news is of all signihcance--portent
with blood and war to the last. -[Sandusky

BURKHOLDER,
Chairman of Com.

Hear Douglas Jerrold abuse the British
aristocracy. He speaks as if he had not
the fear of the powers that be before his
eyes. If this kind of talk is permitted much
longer the end of the old first families is
near.
Henceforth, we must have generals and
officers from the great mass of the people,
and not from few coteries. Genius and
wounds and service must henceforth pur-
chase military rank, and not cash. Scars
may buy promotions, but not bank checks:
And as the time is fast coming-present
events hurry it onward--when the people of
England will no longer be the property OF
two or three houses -coroneted noodles or
doodles imbecilities that came in with the
conquerer, and will go out with the coming
of the conquering mass-but will supply
their own statesmen. Brains will rule and
not baubles."

The THREE BIsHops.-A cute article is 60
ing the rounds of the papers, to the effect
that the three Catholic American bishops
that have resigned their sees are in the dun
geons of Rome. This is, of course, false
hood. Bishop De la Haillandiere is enjoying
the "otiums cum dignitate' on his estate near
Rennes, in Brittany, France. Bishop Cha
brat, who is suffering from opthalmia and is
nearly blind, besides being afflicted with an
other cruel malady, is in his native place,
viz: Morilliac, France. Bishop Rese, who
since his retirement, we believe, resides
chiefly at Hildesheim, in Hanover, was, at
the latest news, enjoying the milder climate
of Nice, from whence he intended to visit

AUTUMNALIA.

The Ginls Of the summer arc fading fast:
And the sere leaves are falling with every blast;
And think at the close OF each shortening day,
That another bright summer has passed away!
II has passed like the with its hopes and its fears,
Now frightened by smil es, now bedimmed by tears;
Ihas passed. like the rest with its pleasures and pain
Aud like them, it must never seturn again.
The fast falling leaves and these whitening Aowers
Are an emblem of man and his Heeting hours;
Fer he basked fora while in the suns bright ray:
And the summer oflife has passed away.
And the autumn OF life Is chill aud drear,
When like leaves Or the forest our hopes appear,
As they droop one by from the withoring spray
Aud the autumn oflife has passed awal
Aud tho W. ntor Of life ia sad and cold,
When the feelings dull and the heart grown old,
Aud long for the rest which the weary shall have
In the silence and gloom Of the passionless grave.
But the grass ofthe grave owrets send forth
And the soul OF the just has refuge of worth,
And the spring of eternity blossoms for aye,
Ana its leaves never fade or its blossoms decay.
Though the shines In those regions bright
Yet the lamb that slain is their shudowlcss light
And the pavement Of Sapphires can never be dim
For 'tis bright with Tho radiance reflected from him.
Unfading, the giories unsated Tho heart,
The one never fash, noLthe other depart,
And the eye never tires though unbounded the View
And the joys though unchanging, forever are new.
ThS muse on the emblcms of earthly decay
Can trace. mid the darkness, a promise OF day;
And bear mid the rustling OF scre leaves and owen
The harps of the angels in amaran,h bowers.

The following. by J. @. Whittier, is in
stinct with lessons Of religion apparent to
every eye in natures scenery, and audible
to every reader: ,
There is religion in everything around
Us; calm and holy religion in the unbFeath-
ing thing Of nqture. which man would do
well to initiate. 1t is meek aud blessed
influence stealihg, as it were. unagates
upon the heart. 1t Oomes-it has no ter
ror, or gloom in its approaches. 1t has
nothing to rouse up the passions. it is un;
trammeled by the creed and dnshadoAed
by the supers,itions Of men. 1t is fresh
from the hands OF the Author. and glow
ing from the immediate presence OF the
great spirit which prevados and quiekens
it. 1t is written on the srched sky. 1t
looks out from every star; it is among the
hills and valleys of the earth, where the
shruhess mountain top pierces the thin at.
mosphere Of eternal winter. or where Me

winds with its dark waves ofgreen foliage.

the broad bosom of the unsleeping ocean

THE LADY ANNABEL.
(An abbreviated Romance.)


Lady Annabel Bernard sits alone in her
toudoir-her rose tinted cheek resting up
on hand Of snowy whiteness-a polished
arm cleaning through its artfully arrang-
ed folds of lace, her dark eyes fastened
dreamily on the tip Of fairy slipper tina;
peeps from beneath the rich folds of her
dress, while her wandering thoughts drift
idly out upon the unknow future. A soft
ened shadow in upon her brow, not like
the salncss of settled grief; but the sweet
melancholy, the gentle pen.iveness called
up by the bewildering presence Of loves
dear dream. Books are scattered care
lessly about, but neither these, nor her
lute also beside her, present any tempta-
tion to draw their owner from the pretty
abstraction that has stolen upon her. !
While she thus sits, unconscious as it
seems, of the rare beauty of this summer
evening, and its wanton zephyrs. sporting
with the twining curls upon her bue-veih-
ed temples, a burst of music floats in upon
the fragrant breeze-a rich voice, freight
ing the signing gale with the burthen ol
its tender song, and the lady's color deep
ems to a brighter crimson, as her head
bends forward 10 catch these words;
.t "Iknow not why love thec-- -
TSou dost never think of me!
And yet my thoughts viii wander,

The first verse of the Minstrels' low

when the door Of Lady Annabel's apart

with hasty steps, and tfrowning brow.
