The heat is 80 oppressive and drought pre-
walls to such extent in certain localities of
France, that, in spite of the recent storms,
water begins to get scarce. At Versailles,
particularly where the flow of the Morly aque-

little over quart.

picturesque. They represent two armies in

When in le4l James Buchanan rose in the
Senate of the United States 70 move the reiec.
ton Of Edward Everett as minister to England,
backing hat motion by long, subtle, and ma.
lignsnt speech, wherein he disclaimed all per.
sonsl antipsthy to Mr.. Everett all question of
his ability and personal worth, but condemned
and prescribed him simply as an Abotitionist,
the first man to repel the imputation, and hurl
volcanic thunc ers at the mover, was Mr.. Rufus
Choate, now father. inlaw of Mr.. Buchanans
sub-treasurer at Boston. Henry Clsy's clarion
voice of course was heard, loud above the roar
of faction. "You pretend" said Clay, "to
fear that the Union will be dissolved, if such
men as Mr.. Everett are called to high tffice ;
tell you, that if such men are rejected on such
pretexts, the Union is already dissolved" The
conspirators we're cawed by the defiant, indig.
nant bearing of the Wing statesman, and the
cold hearted, crafty, treacherous mover of Mr..
Everetts rejection devoured his chagrin in 81.
lence. Then Messrs. Everett and Choate did
not doubt they stood on the national side in
the contest, and that Buchanan's motion,
though yelled by q pretended love of and care
for the Union, was intensely factious, sectional,
and in its drift hostile to the integrity of the
Union. Mr.. Buchanan is the same today that
he was in l84l. Where, then, are Messrs.
Choate and Everett?

number of packages, with articles of value, c.,
were forwarded last week, via Hamburg, to
England, were Jenny Lind will repose in re
tirement on her laurels, at villa near London.

invested in the late Mr.. Sumner, and through
him came to his mother and sister and tvt
brothers-Charles Sumner, our Senator, ant
