PHILIP II.

The picture Of Philip Ii. ia his Cabi-
net is thus effectively drawn by DIR. Mot
ley;
a small, dull, elderly, imperfectly
educated, patient, plodding invalid, wita
dreary yisage, was sitting day after day,
seldom speaking, never smiling, seven or
eight hours out of every twenty-four, at
a writing table covered with heaps of in
terminabIe dispatches, in a cabinet far
away beyond the seas and mountains, in
the very heart of Spain. A clerk or
two noislessly opening and shutting the
door, from time to time, fetching fresh
bundles of letters and taking away others
AL written and composed by seereta-
ries or high hnctionaries-and all to be-
scrawled over in the margin by the dill
gent old man, in big, sboolboy's hand
and style-if ever schoolboy, even in the
sixteenth century, could write so illegi-
bly, or express himself so awkwardIy;
couriers in the court yard arrived from
or departing for the uttermost parts of
earth-Asia, Africa, America, Europe
to fetch and carry these integminable
dispatches, which contained the irrespon-
sible commands Of this one individual,
aud were freighted with the doom and
destiny of countless millions of the worlds
inhabitants-suc was The system Of gov-
ernment against which the Netherlands,
had protested and revolted. 1t was
system under which their fields had been
made desolate, their cities burned and
pillaged, their men hanged, burned, and
drowned, or hacked to pieces; their wom-
en- subject to every outrage; and to
put an end to which they had been de-
voting their treasure and thcir blood for
nearly the length Of one generation. 1t
was a system, too, which, among other
results, had just brought about the death
Of the foremost statesman Of Europe, and
bad nearly effected simultaneously the
murder OF the most eminent sovereign in
the world. The Industrious Philip, safe
ard tranquil in the depths of the Escurial,
saying his prayers three times day with
exemplary regularity, had Just sent three
bullets through the body of William the
Silent at his dining room door in Delit.
Invisible as the Grand
Lama Of Thibet, clothed with power ex-
tensve and absolute as had ever been
welded by the most imperial Cesar,
( Philip ihe Prudent, as he grew older and
fes0ler in mind and body seemed to be-
come more gluuenous Of work, more am
bilious to extend his scepter over lands
which he had never seen OF dreamed OF
seeing, more fixed in his determination
70 annihilate that monster Pfotestaniism,
which it had been the business Of his
life to combat, more eager 70 putt death
every human creature whether annointed
monarch or humble artisan, that defended
heresy or opposed his progress to uniyeg-
sal empire

Two worlds there are. To one our eyes We strain.
Whose magic joys VIC shall not sec asaiu
Bright haze OF morning wells e. slimmcring
shore.
All, truly broathed we there
Intoxicating air!
Glad were our hearts in that sweet realm OF
Nevermore.
The lover there drank her delicious breath
Whose love has yielded since to change or death
The mother kissed her child whose days arc
Ger.
Alas too soon have fed
The irrcclaimable dead
We see thom--yisions strane1-amid the
Neyermore.
It is perpetual summer there. But here
Sadly we may remember rivers clear,
And harebclls quivering on the meadow floor,
For brighter bells and bluer
For tenderer hearts and truer,
People that huppy land-the realm Of
Neyemore.
Upon the frontier Of this shadowy land,
We pilgrims Of eternal sorrow stand.
What realm lies forward, with its happier store
Of forests green and deep
Of valleys hushcd in sleep,
and lakes most peaceful 'Tis the land Of
Evennore.
Very far off its marble cities SEEM
Very FIR of.-beyond our sensual dream
Us woods uhruiicd by The wild winds roar;
Yet does the turbulent surge
Howl ON its very verge,
One moment--and we breathe within the
EvermorC.
They whom We loved and lost so long ago
Dwell in those cities, far from mortal VOC
Haunt those fresh woodlands, whence sweet
carollings soar;
Eternal peace have they;
God wipes their tears away;
They drink that river of life that flows for
Eyermore.
Thhher we hasten through these regions dim,
Bnt To- the wide wings Of the seraphim
Shine in the sunset On that joyous shore
Our lightcned hearts shall know
The lite Of long ago;
The -burdened past shall fade for
Eyormore.

known and honored in early life, and who
was the father of his intended wife.
The teller of the Granite Bank fully
corroborated the drawing of the funds
by johnson, and produced the identical
check on which they had been drawn.
Miss Mason was now recalled, and
asked i! she had lately purchased a
shawl of Campbell & Co.; to which she
answered that she had, and that the price
was tweAty dollars,
Question OF whom did you receive
the money you paid for i'll?
Ansver-'Of Miller, one of the wit
nesses for the prosecution.
The clerk Of Campbell & Co. produced
the bill, which was paid by the last wit
ness for ,he shawl, and it was identified
as one Of those which had been stoleu.--
Miller was seen at this moment to be
making for the door in evident haste and
con Ision, but the eyes OF the whole
court we're directed towards him, and be

warrant from the Bench. The trial was
suspended for a short time, while a search
was made of his apartment, and nearly
all the missing money was found in the
bottom Of bis trunk.
The case was then submitted without
argument or charge, and the jury at once
returned verdict Of Not Guilty.
The most intense excitement prevailed
throughout the city. 4 crowd assem-
bled before the jail, threatening to seize
the villain Miller, and tear him limb
from limb but being overruled by better
counsel, they repaired TO the court house,
and as the prisoner (now prisoner no
Iorger) came down the steps leaning or
the arm of johnson, sent up loud, long
cheer to heaven, that made the welkn
ring The counsellor and his fair client,
with her father and Johnson, were placed
in a coach, from which the horses were
embarrassed, and drawn by the ready
hands of excited men in triumph to their
homes,

by the rebels at Apalachicola, Fla, and 1t was

another vessel bound for New Orleans

Havana we learn that slight Misunderstanding
existed between the Consuls General of the United
States and England on the subject of the late re-
ported sale of the Southern privateer William H.
Webb to British Subjects in that port. The United
States Consul General imagined that the sale was
only blind to enable the vessel to sail under the
British flag, but English residents maintained it
was bona fde transaction.

Our RELATIONS WITH ENGIAND-SYMPATHY
OF CANADA WITH The NORTHERN STATEs.-We
see, by our telegraphic dispatches of yesterday,
that Canadian regiment has been offered to
and accepted by the President. The State of
Maine has had similar offers of assistance from
the people of New Brunswick to complete the
quota required Of II by the government.
There is no doubt that if the British Provinces
saw the Northern States placed in any ex-
tremity, troops would come pouring over the
border by thousands to our aid. Canada has
deep stake in the integrity and prosperity of
this republic. Leaving out of the question the
strong inclination which the people Of the
upper Province are known to entertain for our
institutions, their material interests bind them
closely to us. The trade Of Canada with the
United States is much larger than with any
other country, Great Britain noteven excepted.
AS evidence of the fact we give the official re-
turns for 1851, promising that since then a
large addition has been made to the figures
quoted to the credit Of the United States
vaiue Of erpgrs yaIue Of sriports.

In the same year the aggregate of the Cana.
dian and American tonnage engaged in the in
land navigation between Canada and the Unit
ed States was l0,428,725 tons Thus it will be
seen that there can be no protracted Interrupt
ton of this steadily progressing trade between
the two countries without vast amount of
distress and suffering being inflicted on Cana
dian interests
Lord John Russell would do well to ponder
over these facts. II he proposes to play fast
and loose with US on the privateer question, he
had better look out that this foolish policy
does not lose Canada 10 the British Crown
The people of the Provinces are not going to
let themselves be dragged into difficulties with
us and ruined merely to carry out the mis-
taken idea that the recognition Of the Mont
eomery government would at once restore
England her cotton supplies. II we have got
TO fight her on that point she may depend upon
II that Canada will not be left out of our cal
culations. While we give her plenty of en-
ployment for her navy on our coasts, we shall
render the maintenance Of a large British army
in the Provinces indispensable. Let her there
fore balance the cost Of these prospective ma
val and military expeditions against the loss
that the interruption Of her cotton manufactures
By the blockade Of the Southern ports will
cause her. The one will be protracted, while
the other, If she maintains a strict neutrality,
will be only temporary. The true interest OF
England, putting all political consistency out
Of the question, would be to take part with the
strongest side But we do not even ask her to
do this; we will be satisfied II che will stand
aside ard let VS. 6ght cut our own quarrel II

Horace Greeley and Benjamin Wood
Treason and the Liberty OF the Press.

The New York Tribune is ferocious in its at
tacks upon the Hon. Benjamin Wood, because
be has come out with card in which be as
sumes the responsibility Of all the political edi-
torial articles of the Daily Ne,os of this city.
Mr.. Wood avows himself as the editor and pro-
prietor Of the paper, and its sentiments are
therefore his sentiments. Mr.. Wood has been
elected member Of Congress for district Of
New York, and the opinions he expresses now
through his journal he will no doubt maintain
in his proper person In the House Of Represen-
tatives when Congress meets in July. He has
a right to express his views within proper limits
without being gagged, by being made subject,
as the Tribune suggests, either to the opera
ton Of moi or "the process OF the District
Attorney" to bring his paper TO a natural ter
minstion.v
The Ne,oS i opposed to tse course Of TIE adj
ministration and opposed 70 the war. We differ
with that paper and its editor, for we think war
II now the only possible solution Of the ques-
ton at issue. But Mr.. Wood Las right to give
utterance TO bis sentiments, provided he does
not embark in any reasonable practices. The
| expression Of an opinion Is rot treason, but
the indefeasible birthright Of every Ame-
| rican citizen. The same constitution and
| code Of laws which make treason ca
pital offence jealousy guard the free
dom Of speech and the liberty Of the
! press The FIRST amendment OF the constitl.
ton is plain and explicit 1t Is as follows
Congress shall make nc law abridging the
freedom OF speech or OF the press" Lei trea-
con be put down; but uei.ber TIE federal 20.
verrment, nor Its officers rot Congress, have
any power 70 put down tae freedom Of the
press; and woe to the country when such an
attempt shall ever be seriously mtde. Treason
and the free expression OF opinioa through she
the press must be carefully distinguished The
law OF treason IL 70 protect The existence OF
the government; the freedom Of BE press
guaranteed by the constit0 ton Z, tha eacred
palladium Of the liberties Of the people Both
ere compatible and consistent, i1dsed he free
