was passed, also for establishment of
a lighthouse and fog signals at Hum

both with amendments; also the house

The house amendment reducing the
pension of Mrs Gen. Sheridan to

adopted, and the senate adjourned.
THE HOPE OF IMMORTALITY.
Ingalls,, in his remarks, after speak

he had looked upon that countenance
for the last time. he had reflected
upon the impenesrable and insoluble
mystery OF death; but ii death be the
end OF the lite Burnes terminated
upon this bank and shore OF time, If
no morning is to dawn upon the night
in which he sleeps, then sorrow has
no consolation. and our observance to-
day has no more significance than the
painted pageant OF the stage. Ii the
existence of Burnes was but troubled

ayaiis il that the senate should recount
his history No veneration nor reyer-
ence are due the dead. il they are but
dust; no cenotaph should arise 10 pre-

their achievements. Ii those who
come after them are to be only their
successors in annihilation and extinc-
