MEMORY.

There is a ray more passing bright
Than ali the twnkling gems of night;
1t lights the soul at memory's shrine
Is soothing powers can't define.
There is a ray more lovely far
Then evenings fairest, brightest star;
Il brings to mind those visions past,
Which were too dear, too fond to last
There is ray to me more sweet,
Then is the smile with bliss replete;
On memory's page it opes the day,
And points to friends who're far away.
There Is ray more calm and mild,
Than summers sunset DER the wild;
II sheds its radiant light upon
The memory OF days long gone.

FOG BELL.-Thc Buffalo Express states thas
a fog-bell is placed at the entrance to the har
Dor, ON the outside of the lighthouse. The bell
is from Meneeley's foundry, and weighs 1883
lbs 1t is fitted with clock work. which, after
being wound up, will run for four and half
hours, keeping the bell toling six times minute
during that time. 1t requires an hour to wind
it up, and if desirable from the continuance of
the fog, the tolling of the bell may be kerf ur
during the winding. This is a much needed APP
paratus at that point, as frequent delays occur
to craft making the harbor, and unable to sight
the entrance. The old apparatus of lamps and
Bile to much greater distance than the old one,
and being easily distinguished from any other

of Judgment on the part of pilots.

Court. It was decided ut the meeting that
two ports of the empire, those OF Nangasak
And lIngoladi, should be open to the vessels
Of all nations. There they might repair, take
in provisions, establish depots OF coal, &c, lne
other ports of the empire are to be accessible
to vessels in distress. which may take refuge
in them, but which will have to put to sea thc
moment the danger is over. No ioreiguer IS
to be allowed to penetrate into the interior Of
the country, without special permission from
the Chief Of the State No decision had yer
been come 10 with regard to the commercial
question. The right Of trading with Japan is
