Forgive me, if my heart this hour, I give not all to Thee, For deep affection's mighty power Divides it now with Thee. Thou knowest, Father, every thought That wakes within my breast, And how this heart has vainly sought To keep its love suppressed. Yet when the idol, worshipped one, Sits fondly by my side, And breathes the vows I cannot shun, To me, his destined bride Forgive me, if the loving kiss, He leaves upon my brow, Is thought of in an hour like this, , And thrills me even now. He's chosen me to be his love And comforter through life; Enable me, oh God, to prove A loving, faithful wile. He knows not, Father, all the deep - Affections I control The thousand loving thoughts that sweep iiesistless o'er my soul. -He knows not each deep fount of love That gushes warm and free; Nor can he ever, ever prove . My warm idolatry. Then guard him, Father round his way - xny cnoicest blessing cast. And render each successive day Still happier than the last. And, Father, grant us so to live, That when this life is o'er, . Within the happy home you give, . We'll meet to part no more. Chinese Law. One of the "Celestials" at San Francisco, As-SiNa by name, the keeper of a restaurat, left open a cess pool on his premises, into which a citizen chanced to fall, and therefore the citizen sued the Celestial for dam ages. The Celestial interposed the following Chinese Law, in his de fence, and the proceedings were drop ped: - . . . , - "By the laws of the Celestial Em pi! e, which have been in- force from the time of Confucius to the reign of this present illustrious Taukwang, it is provided that when a man tres passes upcn another's ground, and thereby falleth into a sink, he shall get nothing but dirty clothes, unless he happeneth to be an outside bar barian, in which case he shall also get laughed at. As -Sing believes those laws still in force in all parts of the world, and also in California." a so A XJEAUTIFITI. KEPLY. -A yOUHg girl about seven years of age, was asked by an atheist, how large she supposed her trod to be; to which she with admirable readiness replied: "He is so great that the heavens can not contain him, and yet so kindly condescending, as to dwell in my little heart." , A little girl, walking one day with her mother in a grave-yard, reading one after another the praise? of those who slept beneath, said: "I wonder where they bury the sinners!" Boy Destroyed by a Beau. A . most singular and unfortunate event occurred in the iear of the Catholic Chapel hi Portland, (N. B.) on Tues day last. It appears that two young lads went about a mile into the woods for the purpose of picking berries, when a bear deliberately walked from the thicket and carried one of them off. . The ill-fated lad was between 11 and 12 years of age, the son of a laboring man named Coyle, who thus without ft moment's notice was deprived of a promising boy. Search was afterwards made, and the muti lated remains were discovered. The bear was accompanied by a cub, and was eviaemiy its aara, f - the the he the to of ries of - s Chinese Law. Mr. Clay's Speech. The speech of Mrl Clay, delivered in the Senate on Monday, is publish ed in full in the Intelligencer and Union. It, together with the subse quent debate, fills more than thirteen columns of those papers. The speech will no doubt be published, in pam phlet, and widely distributed. The following are the closing passages of the main speech. . They are in Mr. Clay's happiest style: . Mr. President, I .wish I had the physical power to give utterance to the many, many ideas which 1 still have; but 1 have it not. I must has ten towards a conclusion. - The responsibility of this great measure passes from the hands of the committee, and from my hands. They know, that it is an awful and tremendous responsibility. I hope that you will meet it with a just con-! ception, and a true appreciation of its magnitude, and the magnitude of consequences . which may ensue from your decision one way or the other. The alternatives, I fear, which the measure presents, are con cord and increased discord; a servile civil war originating iu its causes on the lower Rio Grande, and termi nating, possibly, in its consequences with the upper Kio Grande, in the Santa Fe country or the restora tion of harmony and fraternal kind ness. I believe, from the bottom of my soul, that the measure is the reunion of this Union. I believe it is the dove of peace, which, taking its renal flight from the dome of the Capitol, carries the glad tidings of assured peace and restored harmony to all the remotest extremities of this dis tracted land. 1 believe that it will be attended with all these beneficent effects. And now let us discard all resentment, all oassions, all petty jealousies, all personal desires, all love of place, all honing after the gil ded crumbs which fall from the table of power. Let us forget popular fears, from whatever quarter thev may spring. Let us go to the limpid fountain of unadulterated patriotism, and, performing a solemn lustration, return divested of all selfish, sinister, and. sordid impurities, and think alone of our God, our country, our consciences, and our glorious L nion that Union without which we shall be torn into hostile fragments, and sooner or later become the vic tims of military despotism or foreign domination. - Mr. President, what is an individ ual man? An atom, almost invisi ble without a magnifying glass a mere speck upon the surface of the immense universe not a second in time compared to immeasurable, never-failing, never-beginning, and-nev- er-ending eternity; a drop of water in the great deep, which evaporates and is borne off by the winds; a grain of sand, which is soon gathered to the dust from which it sprung. Shall being so small, so petty, so fleeting, evanescent, oppose itself, to the onward march of a Treat nation, to subsist for ages and ages to come oppose itself to that long life of pos terity, which, issuing irom our loins, will endure during the existence of the world! Forbid il, God! . Let us look at our country and our cause: elevate ourselves to the dignity of pure and disinterested patriots, wise and enlightened statesmen, and save our countrv from all impending dan gers. What it, in the march ot this nation to greatnes and power, we should be buried beneath the wheels that propel it onward. What are we, what is any man worth who is not ready and willing to sacrifice himselifor the benefit of his country when it is necessary? Now, Mr. President, allow me to make a short appeal to some sena tors to the whole of the Senate. Here is my friend Irom Virginia, Mr. Mason of "whom I have never been without hopes." I have thought of revolutionary blood of George Mason which flows in his veins of blood of his own father of bis accomplished father my friend mv cherished tnend lor many years. Can he, knowing, as I think must know, the wishes of the "peo ple of his own State can he, with knowledge he possesses of the public sentiment there, and of the high obligation cast upon him by his nome ancestry can he hazard Vir ginia's greatest and most glorious work at last which she, perhaps, more than any other State, contrib uted her moral and political power erect? Can he put at hazard this noble Union with all its beneficent ef fects and consequences, in the pursuit abstraction and metaphysical theo objects unattainable or impossi ble in their naturewhile that honor our own common native State. which I reverence and respect with n to ted ed first ded that as the that of now to be the bo it - as much devotion as he does, while the honor of the South are preserved unimpaired by this measure? I appeal, sir, to the senators from Rhode Island and from Delaware, my little friends, which have stood by me, and by which I have stood, in all the vicissitudes of my political life;, two glorious, patriotic little States, which, if there is to be a breaking up of the waters of this Union, will be swallowed up in the common deluge, and left without support. Will they hazard that Un ion which is their strength, their power, their greatness? . , .. Let such an event as I have allu ded to occur, and where will be the sovereign power of Delaware and Rhode Island? If this Union shall become seperated, new unions, new confederacies will arise. And with respect to this if there be any I hope there is no one in the Senate before whose imagination is flitting the idea of a great southern confed eracy to take possession of the Ba- lize and the mouth of the Mississippi I say in mr place never! never win we who occupy the broad waters of the Mississippi, con sent that any foreign flag shall float at the lialize, or upon the turrets of the Crescent Citv never never! I call upon the South. Sir, we have hard words bitter words, bitter thoughts, unpleasant feeling towards each other in the progress of this measure. Let us sacrifice these feelings. Let us go to the alter of our country and swear as the oath was taken of old, that we stand by her; we will support her; that we will uphold her consti tution; that we will preserve her Un ion, and that we pass this great, comprehensive, and healing system of measures, which will hush all the jaring elements, and bring peace and tranquility to our homes. Let me, Mr. President, in conclusion, say that the most disastrous consequen ces would occur, in my opinion, were we to go home, doing nothing to satisly and tranquilize the coun try upon these great questions. What will be the judgment of man kind, what the judgment of that por tion of mankind who are looking up on the progress of this scheme of self-government, as being that which holds the highest hopes and expec tations of ameliorating the condition of mankind what will be the judg ment of our constituents when we return to them, and they ask us, how have you left your countrv? Is all quiet all happy? Are all the seeds of distraction or division crushed and dissipated? And, sir, when you come into the bosom of your family when you come to converse with the partner of vour fortunes, of your happiness, and of your sorrows and when, in the midst of the com- on offspring of both of )-ou, she .sk3 you, "Is there any danger of civil war? Is there any danger of the torch being applied to any por tion of the country? Have you set tled the question which you have been so long discussing and delibera ting upon at Washington? Is al peace and all quiet?" What re sponse, Mr. President, can you make that wife of your choice and those children with whom vou have been blessed by God? ' Will you go home and leave all in disorder and confu sion all unsettled all open? The contentions and agitations of the past will be increased and augmen by the agitations resulting from our neglect to decide them. Sir, we shall stand condemned by all hu man judgment below, and of those above it is not forme to speak. We shall stand condemned by our own consciences, by our own constitu ents , by our own country. The measure may be defeated. I have been aware that its passage for many days was not absolutely certain. From the first to the last I believ it would pass; because from the to the last I believed it was foun on the principles of just and righteous concession of mutual conciliation. I believe that it deals unjustly to no part of the republic; it saves their honor, and, as far it is dependent upon . Congress, saves the interests of all quarters of country. But, sir, I have known the decision of its fate depends I upon four or five votes in the Senate the United States, and upon whose ultimate judgment we could not count upon the one side or the other absolute certainty. Its late is committed to the hands of the Senate, and to those five or. six votes which I have referred. : It may defeated. It is possible that, for chastisement of our sins or trans gressions, the rod of providence may still , applied to us, may be still suspended over us.,: But, if defeated, will be a triumph of ultraism and impracticability a triumph of a most extraordinary conjunction of never a a if it. a the and of was left by . and extremes a victory jnon by aboli tionism a victory achieved by free soilism the victory "of discord and agitation over peace and tran quility; and I pray to Almighty God that it may not, in consequence of the inauspicious result, lead to the most unhappy and disastrous conse quences to our beloved country.

Af ter entailing Drayton Park, and the other large estates in Staffordshire and Warwickshire, it proceeds to recite sums, to the amount of nearly a quarter of a million, previously ad vanced to, or settled upon, his seve ral children (not including 9,000 per annum settled upon his eldest son,)and then bequeaths about 600,- 000 more, making the portions of his lour younger sous IU6,0UU each. and those ol his daughters 53,000 each. He leaves to a chapel erec ted by him at Fazeley, in Stafford shire, 1,000 (afterwards evoked because he had endowed it with lands,) and 6,000 to a school estab lished by him in the said village; to the Infirmary and Lunatic Asylum in Manchester, and the Lying-in-Hospital in Salford, 100 each. This will is dated July 27, 1S20. By a! codicil of February 11, 1825, the proportion of his younger sons are increasedto 135,000; and of the residue, which is said to have excee ded half a million, four-ninths were bequeathed to the late baronet, and one-ninth to each of his four youngersons. The personal proper ty was sworn at what is technically called "upper value," which means that il exceeded 900,0UU, and was the first instance of the scale of du ties extending to such a sum. Th probate stamp was fifteen thousand pounds, and the legacy duties amoun ted to about ten thousand pound more. Scene in the French Assembly. The Assembly has been occupied in discussing the new restrictive press-laws. On Mondav, July 8th "scene" was got up. M. Rouher, one of the ministers, said, in the course of his speech, that the revo lution of 1848 was a "sad (funeste) catastrophe." At this word the whole opposition rose, and, with tre mendous clamor, called on the presi dent to call the minister to order. This M. Dupin refused to do, but called M. Girardin to order instead After the noise and tumult, which lasted half an hour, had somewhat abated, M. Girardin, having mounted the tribune to explain, declared that he, for one, would not sit in an as sembly in which the revolution of February was declared a disastrous event for France, without the spea ker being called to order. M. Girar din, however, was cried down, and descended the tribune pale with an ger. in the evening ot that day, at meeting of representatives, he called upon his colleagues to resign their seats in the Assembly en masse, the minister was not compelled to apologize; but the motion was not acceptable, and nothing has come of Un Tuesday, M. Victor Hugo re ferred to the disturbance of the pre vious day, and delivered a brilliant oration against the reactionists. On division on the clause requiring an increase in the amount of the caution- money to be lodged by newspapers, Mountain was signally beaten, the clause was carried with acclamation.' Several amendments were rejected, and four paragraphs the first article of the law were agreed to.- On the Tuesday there a repetition of the scene of the previous day. . M. Rouher wished to speak, but the Mountainwould not him; and, after a "row" of some quarter of an hour's duration, they the Assembly, and M. Rouher' proceeded. Part of the new law passed is to the effect that all leading articles in the journals must be signed the writers. . , - Battle : Between the Russians Circassians.

Lynching in Virginia. A terrible outrage took place at Culpepper, Virginia, a few days since. A mob of 200 men, including justi- ces ol the peace, members ot the church, and others, proceeded to the jail, resisted the sheriff and carried off William Grayson, a free negro, They dragged him to the woods, where thev hanced h i.u. The cause of this high-handed measure is this had twice been convicted of murdering David A. Miller.a white man. but each time he BDDealed. and . ..- i the General Court granted him new trials, on the ground that the tes timony hardly justihed suspicion; much less guilt. The mob allowed Grayson one minute to confess. He firmly avowed his innocence of the murder. The mob then placed a rail across between two trees, and strung him up.

The Boa- ton Journal gives the following ac count 'of an interview between Ephraitn LittleSeld, Janator of the Medical College, and Professor Web ster, which took place at Leverett street jail on Wednesday afternoons At the solicitation of Professor Webster. Mr. Littlefield, the ja nitor of the Medical College, and princi pal witness for the government on the trial of Prof. Webster, visited the jail, and had an interview with the condemned man in the presence of Mr. Andrews, the jailor. As ho went into tne cell, Prof. Webster greeted him with great cordiality, ta- King him by the hand, and told him he had long been desirous of seeing him, In order to make his acknowl edgments to him. Prof. Webster said he had done him, Littlefield. great injustice, and asked his forgive ness. Mr. Littlefield replied, "I forgive you, Dr. Webster, with all my heart, and 1 pity and sympathise with you." Ho told him that it was a painful thing to go on to the stand an testi fy against him, but that he felt it to be his duty, and had no ri?ht to shrink from it. If he had teotified to any thing that was not strictly cor rect, it was not done intentionallv by himt If he had, asked his (Web ster's) forgiveness. Mr. Webster replied "Mr. Little field, all that you said was true you nave misrepresented nothing but, as a dying man, I have no recollec tion in regard to the sledge hammer!" He requested an interview with Mr. Littlefield's wife, who will, we under- tand, visit him this (Thursday) after noon. Both Piof. Webster and Littlefield were much affected during the inter view, and they parted with mutual good leeling. We are also informed, that Prof. Webster seems perfectly resigned and very penitent. He says that ha has made his peace above, and is pre pared to die. His only sorrow is concerning his unfortunate lamily. The officers of the jail have no ap prehension that he will commit sui cide. No one is permitted to sea unless they hold a permit from Sheriff.
