What hes the Free Trade Policy Of the
Dem0lguts done for the Country.

What hes the Free Trade Policy Of the
Dem0-ga,s done for the Country.
The answer 20 this question comes from
an English Statesman, in such shape as
to make Us blush for our country:
In a debate in the House Of Commons,
one of the speakers boldly urged, amidst
repeated cries of hear" hear! that 1t
would he better for England that her North
American Colonies should revolt and join
the United States which would render
them, he said, more profitable colonies
than they are at present This gentleman
was Sir W. Molesworth, distinguished
member of Parliament He went on to
say that the United States Of America
are in a strict Specification of the word,
still colonies Of Great Britain. as Carthage
was a colony Of Tyre etc. Now our col
onics, as term them, continued Sir Vii
liam, 'our colonies Of the United States
are, in every point Of view, more useful
to rs Haa aH others PIT j2gethcr. lie
then went on to prove this By figures,
winding up with the declaration that the
vast, magnificent market Of the United
States only cost Great Britain Gl5,00O
sterling a year 'All other colonial do
minious, said the speaker lee govern at
a cost Of G4,0G0,00 while the United
States costs Us for consular and diplomatic
services not more than stI5,QC0 year,

Qured to protect cur trade.

nsasThe head of a celebrated mercan-
tile house in Vienna has recently erected a
mausoleum which no one, even Of his most
intimate friends, is allowed to enter. The
walls are covered with black velvet, upon
which appear the family arms of the pro-
prietor Upon platform slightly eleVa-
ted stands an open coffin, with candles of
black wax at its four corners. At the foot
of the coffin is plate of silver, on which
are the name and date of birth of the fu-
ture occupant of the narrow abode, and a
space has been left for the date Of his
death, and this he evidently expects within
the coming ten years-for he has compile
ted the record as far as 1856. Daily he is
accompanied by his friends to the door of
his tomb; there he leaves them, enters
alone into the edifce, lies down in his cof-
fin, and causes a concealed organ to play
lugubrious music. Then he goes forth to
the world again, dimes heartily, and co.rl
verses with a gayety of manntsr which
charms all his guests.

Rreokenridge On the stump.

John c. Breckinridgc, in reply to the
torrent Of defamation" poured upon him,
last week delivered speech at Ashland,
the home of Henry Clay. The speech
opens with an apology for his appearance,
and ala allusion to the Union, which was
met with great applause. Another apollo
oy for his treatment Of Mr.. Guthrie is in
troduced, together With dignifed descrip-
ton of the manner in which the nomina-
ton at Baltimore was forced upon him.
He valves the question of the regularity
Of the Convention by which 'an eminent
citizen of Illinois was nominated. He
thinks that that question has been fully eX
hibited before the American people, but is
of the opinion that it was devoid not only
of the spirit Of justice, but Of the forms
of regularity. y very singular sentence,

Ter by little hunting anecdote. lie also,
in a few misty paragraphs, elaborates his
popular sovereignty record, and denies 'i9a~
lie was committed to that doctrine uc
endeavors to show the inconsistency Of Mr.
Douglas. The charges Of Mr.. Douglas,
that the Kcntuckian's party is a disunion
party, the speaker dismisses in a few haugh
ty and dictatorial sentences, while he pro
cecds to reply to the criticism of Mr.. Crit
tenden, in that statesman Louisville speech
This portion of the address is the most in
teresting part of the Grafton. The speaker
thinks there is nothing in his career to jus
tify the charge Of Disunion, nor in the ca
reer Of his colleague, General Lane, to
whom he paid glowing euIogy, on the
mutual admiration principle introduced
by the General in his independence Square
speech. Mr.. Breckenridge thinks the con-
test one of principle, and to an elaboration
of the principle involved-to wit: protcc-
ton for slavery in the Territories-a great
er part Of the address Is devoted.

M0RAI G. RELIGIOUS
PSALM OF LIFE.
BY LoSGFELLow.

BY LoSGFELLOw.
Tell me not IN mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream.'
For the soul il dead that slumbers.
And things are not what they seem.
CHORUS.
Life is real, life is earnest.
And the grave is not its goal.
Life is real! life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
Is not spoken Of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find US farther than to-day.
Lives Of great men all remind Us
We can make our lives sublime,
and departing leave behind u
Footprints ON the sands of time.
Footprints which perhaps another
Sailing Ger iife'S solemn main,
\ forIorn and shipwrecked brother
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let Us then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving. still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

8s5~A Saratoga correspondent Of the
Troy Times says that two Boston men are
the largest winners Of the gambling season
at the favorite watering place referred to.
One of them is an OLD man nearly sixty
years of age, who formerly kept a hotel in
Albany, and failing in the business, in a
moment of desperation, at the age OF forty,
took up the profession of gambler. For
tune seemed to attend him from the first,
and he is now estimated to be worth $780,
0G0-all of which he has gained at hazard.
He has his servants in livery at the
Springs, his fast horses, carriages, and to
one unacquainted with his profession, he
appears a wealthy man of the world, pol
ished and refined in his manners, and
gentleman Of abundant means, who has
come to recruit his health by a morning
draueht at the Congress, or drive upon
the avenue. He is reckoned to be the
smartest and most lucky gambler in the
country. Few would imagine that he is
other than what he seems yet he is only a
type Of large class of persons who annu-
ally assemble at Saratoga, and pass for per-
sons of the highest respectability.'

4 Lazy Bitten Ly a Rat.-The Charles
ton Evening News relates the following
which occurred in that city:
On Thursday morning at about | clock,
lady residing in South street, next door
south of the Planters Hotel, was awakened
from sleep by a great noise in her room
made by rat, when she set small poodle
dog that slept at her bedside upon it, which
was soon conquered. The lady anxious to
escape the apparently infuriated thing, at
tempted to jump into bed, and while in the
act the rat quilted his hold upon the dog,
and flying at her, seized with his teeth the
sole Of her right foot near the two small
toes, and inflicted a severe wound. Sim
pie remedies were used upon the wound,
but Friday morning there was such strong
symptoms Of 5ctGaas appearing, that DR..
Frazer was sent for, and under his care she
is doing well, though no: entirely out Of
danger yet. Her husband, who is po-
liceman, came home about the time she
vas bitten, and with a stick, succeeded af-
ter a hard encounter in killing the furious
animal, whose body measured Is inches.

Much attention being attracted Just 10 ths fine
steamship, We have obtained from Captain Comstock
description Of the improvements recently made upon her
engines.
II will be remembered that owing 70 error in her
valve goar her engines did At first work satacto-
ry. Her present owners accordingly consulted those
well known engineers Messrs. Henry B. Renwick Miers
Coryell and W. c Everett, who uded entirely
new arrangement which We give for the information Of
experts-A high pressure arrangement has been pro-
vded capable Of being put instantly into operation in
any arrangement Of the air pumps occur also in
dependent feed, which affords great security the
usual arrangement new plan has been adopted for
lifting the valves, which placed in position readily
accessible at ali times; new cutoIi notion capable oil
being adjusted throughout the length Of the stroke an ap
pasasas connected with the cutoff cams by means
which the steam valves forced to their
rs they are released from the valve gcar, being
ranged that 1t Is self adjusting to all alterations OF the cut
off,
double link motion has been adopted for working the
engines, governed by two eccentrcs which worked
by steam cylinders the pstons Of which controlled in
their motion by water cylinders provided with pistons.
which moved simultaneously with the pstons Of the
steam cylinders the whole arrangement being SO simple,
and completely controlling the vavegear, that two
boys 10 years Of age far strength required could
manage the engines with perfect ease either when work
ing by hand when hooked on and working quickly.
The whole work executed at the Novelty Iron
Works, under the eye Of Mr.. Everett
Capt. Coms;ock says
Every part of the engines has been most thoroughly
examined and put in complete order, and far the
gnes and boilers concerned the chip the best
possible condition tor any service thai may be required OF
her.
On the els. OF February the Adria.c taken sea,
