IN view of his eminent attaihments in literature and

The Late Secretary Marcy.

1t appears that upon his retirement from the Office
of Secretary of State, Mr.. Marcy was rendered the
presidency of a new International bank by several
merchants in New York. This honor he declined in
letter dated April 18th. Mr.. Marcy at the time,
seemed to have presentiment of his early DEATH an
appears by the following extract
1.-The suggestion presents an opening, which at an
earlier period in life and under other circumstances
would have been very acceptable, but am quite too
old to adventure upon new pursuit, different from
those which have hitherto engaged my attention.
unless forced into it by inducements stronger than
any that now press upon me. My means for the
comforts OF life, 1t is true. would be considered rather
scanty Tor younger man surrounded by even an
ordinary number of dependents. but much less is
wanted when the journey is near its end | have no
disturbing anxeties that account Everv consid.
crate should desire to place an interval between
the active affairs of his life and its close In NV
case that space cannot be long
TIE foregoing view does not embrace another
which has an equally controlling influence with me-

none so distinct from the others the one now pro.
posed, and may, perhaps, be allowed to saw with.

olerably well In each; bat it would be hazardous to

lIte lhe pitcher which goes very often to the well
will be very likely at last TO come back broken.n
In this connection We copy the following from the
Troy Whg OF Monday:
g 1t is generally known that the daughter of Gov
enor Marcy passed the 4h of July in the family of
an acquaintance in this city. She formed one of a.
circle of friends, including ladies and gentlemen, at
the house during the day While all the others were
in cheerful spirits, it observed in the forenoon
that Mrs. M appeared to be depressed in mind. So
obvious was this to her companions, that il was the
subject OF some remark, when she said she was un
accountaby impressed with the fear that a signal
calamity had oyertaken some member of her family.
Early IN the afternoon the of the death of Gov.
Marcy reached this city, and it was known to gen.
tIemen composing the party in which Miss M. was
some time before it was communicated to her, While
the gentlemen were IN room by themselves discus.
sing The manner of conveying 10 the daughter the
sad intelligence and before she could by any means
have received the least ntmaton of the event, she
suddenly threw her handkerchief over her face and
eV4enly in deep grief, retired alone up stairs"
