The Hudson Bay Company.

An inquire has for some months been PEN
ding says the Pennsylvania, before a select
committee of the British House of Commons,
relative to the re-charter of the Hudson Bay
Com pany, which is exciting much attention,
Us an extension of its privileges is strongly
denounced by the Canadian papers. The pow
er of the Company extends over an extent of
country nearly as large as the entire of Eu-
rope, while its settlement is perverted by the
policy which has prevailed. There are two
hundred and thirty-nine stockholders with a
capital of ten millions dollars, and as they di-
vide mi lion of profits annually, the shares
have doubled their par value. The trade is
solely by barter, for which the articles are
shipped from London, to be exchanged with
the Indians for furs, of whom there are some
300, 900 scattered over the entire territory,
engaged in collecting peltry. The Governor
General resides at York Factory, on Nelson's
river, and under him are some fifteen hun
dred factors s, leaders and clerks, whose sala-
ries are made contingent upon the earnings of
the Company Besides these, Canadians or
Indian half breeds are enlisted for terms of
five years at stated salaries. and all the clerks
who are species of cadets, look for advance
ment when vacancies occur among superiors
This monopoly has been seriously detrimental
to the settlement of the province, and it is to
be hoped that the Parliamentary inquiry will
lead to the abolition of the charter, and throw
open the vast territory to emigration

FIRST SORROW

"a
Arise, this day shall shine
Forever more.
To thee 9 star divine
on Times dark shore.
Till now thy soul has been
All glad and gay
Bid It awake, and look
AtgTIef to-day.
No shade has come between
Thee and the sun;
Like some long cherished dream
Thy life has run.
But now the stream has reached
A dark, deep sea,
And sorrow, dim and crowned,
Ii waiting thee.
Each Of Gods soldiers bears
A sword divine;
Stretch out thy trembling hands
To day for thine.
To each anointed priest
Gods summons came:
On, soul, ne speaks to- day,
And calls thy name.
Then, with slow, reyereut step
And beating heart,
From out thy joyous days
Thou must depart;
And, leaving all behind.
Come forth, alone,
TO JOIN the chosen band
Around the throne.
Raise up thine eyes-be strong
Nor cast away
The crown that God has given
Thy soul to-day.

WASHINGTON, April 8.

-R
The Union publishes a correspondence
between Lord Napier. Earl of Claren-
don aud Mr.. Cass, relative to the rescue
of a great part of the crew of British
Tasso, bark wrecked near Barnegat, by
the crew of an American life boat.
Mr.. Fowler, Acting Vice Consul at
New York, has been instructed to con-
vey to the widow of John Smith, one of
the boatmen who persisted in the rescue,
a donation of fifty dollars, as a mark Of
sympathy from the British Government.
A subscription had also resulted in col
Letting 4 sum sufficient for the purchase
of a small house and farm. Mr.. Fow-
Ter had also been making inquiries re-
spectipg the relatives of John Parker,
another boatman who lost his life, and
refers to the rest of the boatmen who
shared in the same danger. Earl of
Clarendon instructed Lord Napier to
express the warmest terms of thanks of
the British Government for their timely
assistance rendered, and expresses ad-
miration of the courage and devotion of
American boatmen.
Mr.. Cass's letter to Lord Napier says
it is always a source of qualification to
this Government, when citizens of the
United State S arc instrument, ] in reset.
ing individuals. especially the citizens
or subjects of Foreign countries, from
perils of the sea, and the manifestation
of sympathy and gratitude on the part
of Her Majesty's Government in this
Instance, is justly appreciated by the
President. a..

dismissed, orders to that effect having
been already issued.
The Washington correspondence of
the Herald of April I'd, says a commit
tee of Boston merchants interested in
the trade with China, arrived here last
evening, and to-day called on the Ad-
ministration to consult with them in ref
erence to affairs in China. They said
further that England had her aim in po-'
litical purposes in China-we nothing
but commercial objects and protection
of the lives and property of our citizens.
They have another meeting this evening.
The administration, I understand, will
send q new Commissioner fresh from this
country, prepared to meet the new state
of affairs in China. Many gentlemen
have been mentioned in connection with
it, but as yet no one has been fixed up
on.
I learned to-day at the State Depart
ment, that the report that the United
States contemplate purchasing Tehaun-
tepec, and that Senator Benjamin was
offered the appointment to accomplish
the object, is a sheer fabrication.
The Herald says there are at present
in New York a number of Spanish agents,
who are actively engaged in raising pro-
visions and munitions of war for ship
ment to Cuba, in view of the anticipated
hostilities between Spain and Mexico,
and to provide against the Threatened
decent of a Mexican force on that Is,
land.
The Mexican government have also
their agents here, and particularly in
New Orleans, for the purchase of arms
aud ammunition, and the enlistment OF
men to be sent under the American flag
to Tampico and Vera Cruz, in prepara-
ton for their contemplated invasion.
