and Railway stocks with but few exceptions under

instances the closing sales were at slight improve

Pacific Mail and New-York Central, both of which
touched lower figures than the most sanguine bear

hammered with great deal of vigor and nerve

hands-but from this quotation the market rallied,
and continued 20 improve FOR the remainder OF the

EFFECTS OF THE PRESIDENTS Me

EFFECTS OF THE PRESIDENTS Mes
SAGE IN CuBA.-Thc Spaniards il ICuba
arc exceedingly indignant at the PROPOSE
ton Of President buchanan to purchase
Cuba. Meetings were called Immediately
upon the receipt Of the news, and resolu-
tions were passed expressing the utmost
regard for the Spanish Government and
adherence at the idea Of being under the
control Of the United States. The papers
are boiling over with indignation at the
proposition. One of them exclaims TN
purchase the Island :. Of Cuba! The
Cabinet of Washington well knows there
is nobody to sell it, and that there is not
money sufficient to pay for it. This was
the thought Of the Spaniards and those
the sentiments of all the sons Of this soil
from the moment that, for the first time
this ideas Io<jined in the tendencies of the
politics Of the North. Therefore, when q
minister Of the crown declared in the
midst Of the national representatives, on
an occasion similar to the present, that
selling the Island of Cuba would be cqua]
to selling the honor of Spain, those words
found an echo in all parts Of the monarchy
as the unanimous cry Of all Spanish hearts
and from that moment they we're regarded
as the cloarest and most precise expression
of the answer to be given whenever such
an absurd project should be renewed.

"to meet the extravagant demands OF Mr..
BUcHANAN's administration
At the meeting Col. CARUTHEEs OBJ

in type, before seeing the call; and when
We supposed it was . movement Of the op.
position. i.
Had we seen the call with the names
attached, we should not have spoken thus,
in that connection; and as the cali was
handed in late, the unappropriateness Of
our remarks, escaped our attention.
It is our opinion that it is the extrava.
gance and corruption Of the administration
which is hurrying our public lands into

A PIONEER GONG .WEsr.-The fol-
lowing picture of a family travelling to
the "new countries, ? We find in the
Evansville Journal: ,,s
"Near the saw-mill, on the banks Of
the river in the lower part of the city,
was moored to the shore, on Sunday even
ing last, a wretched raft about ten by
twenty feet III area, constructed Of par
eel Of old plank, the surface Of which
rose not more than two inches above the
surface of the water. On this frail struc-
turc the occupants had raised ridge pole
about FIVE feet high, and placing against
it small pieces Of board apparently picked
up from the drift in the river, had formed
a roof with a kind Of dog kennel beneath
Of about six by ten feet on the floor Of
the raft Into this howell, on alittle
straw and a heap of old rags, were crowd
ed, in most forlorn and wretched condi-
ton, a man, woman, and four children,
one at the breast, aud the eldest perhaps
ten years old. The only household goods
were an iron skillet, a pot, and two old
barrels; not q seat, a tabls or a dish was
visible. .s.a: o=I .tSEE5zs 8.5s..s
On the bow Of the raft, on a piece Of
old boilor iron, raised q few inches above
the plank, was . blazing fire Of drift wood,
which, fortunately is abundant and with
out price. Around this ,ssthat wretched
group were huddled, presenting scene Of
squaIid poverty and restitution seldom
seen in this country and sufficient to move
the compassion Of the most selfish and
penurious. How they endured the pitiless
rain storm that followed in the night. with
mo shelter but a roof Of a few loose boards
leaning against pole, the reader can
conjecture. They have navigated the
Ohio, on their frail structure, from the
mouth Of the Kanawhai to this point in .
voyage of about six weeks, during which
there has been an uninterrup succession
Of, cold and cherries storms. Every
wave washed over the wretchcd raft, and
rain must have penetrated / every part Of
the miserable roof they havs passed

In spite of all this wretchedness and

DEATH CT An ENGLISH LADY.-The
London c,orresB ondent Of the New York

- Death "F AN ENGLIsH. LADY.-The
London CORRESPONDENT Of the New York
Times says: .i# .z. @@s3
-" One of the most distinguished beau
ties of English society has been prema-
tur ely snatched away by death within the
last few days. Lady Clementina Villiers,
the. second daughter Of the Earl Of Jcr-
sey, has been for several years the most
admired and sought after Of the daugh-
ters of the aristocracy. The greatest for
tunes, and some of the greatest titles, in
the United Kingdom have been at her
feet; but, as is we'll known, she retained
her indexible resolution not to accept any
Of them. Her affections were said to have
been early won by clergyman possessing
but an inconsiderable benefce, and not
likely by his talents to obtain more
prominent position in the Church. Her
worldly and fashionable parents refused
their assent to such match; and unlike
her sister, Lady Adela, who ten years ago,
eloped with Captain Ibbottson, she con-
tinued to reside with her parents and to
accompany her mother in the incessant
round Of society in. which the old lady
lives. When her brother, the late men,
Der for Rochester, became so embarrassed
as to be obliged to leave the country,
many of his outstanding engagements
were bought up by his mother, who, as
the hciress Of Mr.. Child, the banker,
still possessed a remnant Of her once
splendid fortune. The liabilities, soon
exhausted Lady Jerseys personal resour.
ces; and Lady Clementina spontaneously
resolved to devote many thousands of that
which had been settled on herself to liq-
uidate her brothers debts. Those who
observed her gradually attenuated form
and slowly-fading beauty, as year after
year she returned to the joyless haunts Of
aristocratic frivolity and fashion, could
not but perceive that, however care might
succeed i'll preserving the lineaments Of
loveliness, the spirit within was perishins
Of Loves sweet, wait The last time
stood near her was at a densely -throngce
assembly at one Of those mansions in Pic
cadilly, famed for the ! brilliancy of7its
receptions. She was dressed en- suite ii
bright blue, and wore upon her head
which was of exquisite}y moulded form
a wreath Of roses Of the same color, PLACED
perfectly. horizontally, as you may some
times see them worn b. the Tyroles
peasants at their village festivals. Blu
the gaiety of girlhood had passed ava.
and the ambition Of womanhood had no
come; and it seemed to ne as often a

sometimes simpenetrable Grove, her cy
