In the Beacon of last week we observe the
words below, portion of which We italicise:
The following plaintive notes, which are pub
iished by permission, rritea 5y friend, for
the parents of beautiful babe. who is now nj
ping notes of praise to its Creator among bands
OF redeemed spirits in Paradise:-
Here follow four verses of thirteen lines each,
the first three of which constitute one of the
most beautiful and finished poems in the Eng
lish language. With the exception of the first
line of each of these verses, viz: aShe was" !"
"Or she was" 'Or she as,"-and the omission
or changing of few propositions, and the sub
stitution of the name of Florence for the word
''man'-we repeat with the exception of these
changes, which but mar the original, these three
verses are an exact copy of the beautiful poem
supposed to have been written by Quarles many
years ago. At all events the first verse has long
been portion of the Inscription upon monu-
ment in the church of 81. Nary Overy, London.
At least SO says the author of the annals of
St. Mary Overy."
The fourth verse of the poem, as it appears
IN the Beacon, is doubtless original. 1t bears
about the sane resemblance to the preceding
verses, in style and thought, as does the odor of
an onio- to that of bouquet of roses.

FROM EuRoPE.-The English Ministry were
beaten by majority of sixteen, in the House of
Commons, on the conspiracy bill, which was
proposed by Lord Palmerston, at the instance
of Louis Napoleon, who desires the power to
search British domicils after conspiritors
against his life. Lord Palmerston, in conse-
quence of this defeat, resigned the Premiership,
and Lord Derby was called by the Queen to
form a new Ministry.

TAXING MINING CLAIMs.-A very earnest de-

members of the present legislature, from the

statute book at the present session. Among
others who opposed it earnestly we are pleased
to name Mr.. Street. On the lst inst, he de-

gallantly charged her with downright plagiar-

By the arrival of the Golden Age and Orizdba,
on the 18th inst, we have New York dates to

vious advices These two vessels brought to
our shores about fifteen hundred passengers.
The Lecompton question has still agitated
Congress and produced considerable excitement
in the Senate 1t is agreed that the vote shall
be taken in that body March 22d, and it is
thought will be favorable to the Administration.
In the House, its fate is doubtful, as the Le
comptonites have been beaten there in several
tests. The opposition has lost some strength in
Northern votes, but have more than made it up
in American accessions from the South.
On the 18th of March, Mr.. Crittenden made a
great speech in opposition to Lecompton. Sem
ator Toombs replied to it the next day, and was
followed by Bell, Of Tennessee, who took deci-
ded grounds against the bill.
In the Senate, Mr.. Foster, of Connecticut,
spoke against the Lecompton Constitution, and
Mr.. Clay, of Alabama, against pure Democracy
and in favor of dlsunion in case the Republican
party should take the reins of Government His
views were criticised by Mr.. Houston.
Senator Douglas is sick but intends to speak
on the 22d, when Kansas matters are expected
to come to final vote in the Senate.
A Convention, which is Free State, has been
elected In Kansas to form q new Constitution,
in accordance with the order of the Territorial
Legislature.
The House of Representatives d by the
strong vote of LAB to 43 against rease Of
our standing army and In favor OF snJsting tue
President to accept the service of FIVE regiments
of ofvolunteers, to be employed in settling our
Mormon and Indian troubles. The army bill, in
this shape, passed the House by vote of l24 to
73.
March 18th, qnite flare up occurred be-
tween Senators Bigler and Broderick, about
some remarks made by the former gentleman,
in which the name of Mr. Douglas was introdu-
ced. The dispute was rather personal, and SEEM
ed to involve a question of veracity but the
matter was finally dropped.
