How fair is life on love’s glad mom,
How bright the hopes that cluster round ; 1
How rare the rose that wears no thorn—
The heart ol truth so seldom found !
Each heart hath dawnings of its own—
The earth hath buds and flowers and trees,
But when the voice of love is gone,
We sadly ask, O! what are these 1
No beacon light can cheer the way,
Like that which gentle woman lends ;
No cloud can darken o’er the day,
While she in loving kindness tends.
Our brightest hopes are built on love,
What aim hath life, what other goal;
Since greatness is but great to prove
How love exalts and wins the soul ?
Where brightest thoughts and feelings burn,
There love the mos* delights to be ;
Where gaze of bard and sculptor turn,
There dwells its deepest witchery !
Who’er hath felt the gentle sway
Os woman’s pure and holier will,
Hath nursed the memory ot its day,
And sadly mourns its absence still.
The links oflove, the links of life,
The promise of the waiting years,
The hopes that leave no place lor strife,
But smile in gladness through their tears,
Maybe in all their radiance thine,
The heralds of glad days to thee ;
To bid thy years in brightness shine.
Nor brighter than their close shall be.

Unchanged.
New York, April 9.
The British Mail steamship Europa, with Liverpool dates
to the2sth tilt., arrived at Nfew York at 4 o’clock on Sat
urday afternoon.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
The Liverpool cotton market was dull, with sales at i to
id decline. The sales for the week were 32,000 bales.—
The decline is principally on the lower grades. The fol

The stock ol cotton at Liverpool is 656,000 bales. On

prices tending downward.
Wheat had declined td on the week and flour 2s. The
corn market was unsettled at 395. Provisions active Rosin
was lower with* sales of 2,500 barrels common at 5s to 5s
lOd. Rice was in limited demand, and inferior Carolina
was worth 15 to 16s.
London Money Market —The London money market
was dull, and Consols had declined to 88f.
Additional by the Europa.
The political affairs of Europe are unchanged. The ex
ports of Gold from there is not quite so heavy as reported.
No change has taken the Bank rate of interest.
The London Globe says that Russia recognises the neu
trality ofaweden.
The Prussians earnestly recommend their government to
act with the Western Powers, but the government holds
back.
Austria seems to act with the Western Powers but not
decidedly.
There are no further accounts from Asia or Kalalht.
The fleets remain as before.
No written refusal has ben received from the Czar It
is supposed ho will not send a categorical answer, but will
accept war if offered.
The Greek insurrection is dying out.
The steamship Cambria sailed on the 25th ult., lor King
ston, to ship more troops. The Teneriff sailed with pait of
a regiment for Malta
Havre Cotton Market, March 22—Cotton has advanc

The French Loan —'The subscription ol the French loan
now amounts to Jdttr hundred millions of francs. The funds
have largely declined
Collision —I ,oss of Life —A collision occurred in the
English Channel between the American ship Ann Kemble,
and the British bark, Bonita, of Liverpool. The latter sunk
and 11 lives were lost. The ship was considerably dam
aged.
A telegraphic dispatch in the London Times, dated
B.rlin 24th ult., states that the Czar refused even to no
tice the demand of England and France for the evacua
tion of the Principalities, which is equivalent to a declara
ration of war.
‘lhe Paris Moniteur admits that the same proposals had
been made by the Czir to Louis Napoleon relative to the
partition of Turkey as those rejected by England.
A leading house in Paris had failed for 40,000,000

When the Golden Gate left Acapulco, it was reported

Acapulco.
The health ofthe Isthmus still continues good. The
railroad company are pushing the wo k on as last as possi
ble, and every one speaks in the highest terms with respect
to ihe comfortable way in which the Isthmus can now be
crossed.
American Sympathy on the Eastern Question
The most effectual check given to American sympathy
for the Sultan has resulted from the all ance between
France and England to support bis cause. Looking to
our own commercial interests, we might well become en
listed against the allies of Turkey. No one can doubt
for a moment, that Great Britain, at least, ‘has a selfish
object in view in taking up the quarrel of Tur
key. She is actuated by no regard for Turkey, but she
is looking *tothe extension of the field of her own manu
facturing enterprise and capital. In that wide field for
commerieal enterprise, which is the real prize at which
Great Britain is looking, we have a powerful motive to
prefer the success of the Czar. The one is our rival as a
manufacturing and commercial nation, the other comes not
into competition with us. Whilst, therefore, our sympa
thies are with Turkey, because she is weak, and is threat
ened by a government that is strong, these sympathies
are not so strong that they may not lie overcome when
our interests are fully ascertained to be involved by the
disclosures as to the policy and object of Great Britain.—
The late numbers of a “Retired Statesman” in our paper
have produced a sensible influence upon the public mind
in our country, whilst tbe late arrogant announcement
of Lord Clarendon as to the objects of the English and
French alliance has greatly increased that influence.—
Our Paris correspondent to-day touches this whole ques
tion with the hand of a master.— Washington Union.
“The Know Nothings.”— The New Orleans cor
respondent of the Mobile Tribune , under date of Apii
sth., makes the following remarks in reference to this
new political organization .-
You have but a faint idea of tbe strength of the secret
association called the “Know Nothings,” in New Orl
eans. It is an organization powerful, concentrated, and
replete with political and moral vitality—an organization
that bids tair to outwork Brjarcus with Ids hundred arms
and outwarch Argus with hi* hundred eyes. Its over
whelming influence was clearly diseernuble at the recent
municipal election, and it is Contended, that the “Re
formers,” alias “Know Notlniigs,” would have carried
their entire ticket laid there been proper coueert of ac
tion. One fact is clear, that their number is daily swel
ling. The watch-cry will bring hundreds to the rescue
in any part of the city. The order, s<> far as I can learn,
is a compound of Native Americanism and Anti-Catho
licism, one of the cardinal principles being, direct oppo
sition to foreigners holding public offices at home and
abroad. -There is an effort to organize a society in Mo
bile, indeed everywhere. What it will result in requires
the forecast of an Isaiah.

Charleston, April 11.
The Convention met this morning pursuant to adjourn
ment, and was occupied with resolutions in relation to the
Pacific Kaihoad and Direct Trade with Europe. Gov.
Jones, of Tennessee, and Albeit Pike, of Arkansas, spoke.
The latter denounced reliance on Congress for building the
Pacific Railroad.
The resolutions were referred to the General Committee,
who will report to-morrow.
The Convention adjourned at noon.
The South Carolina Delegation. —ln our impression of
t‘ is morning, we publish a speech recently delivered in the
House of Representatives by Mr. Boyce of South Carolina,
on the subject of the tariff. This is a performance of un
common niei it. Never was the tariff discussed with more
clearness of exposition and power of argument In the
piercing logic, luminous brevity of statement, and conden
sation of thought, which eharacterise this speech, we see the
effect of a close study of the writings of Calhoun. The
speech but fills two columns ol the Enquirer, yet in this
brief compass, we have a complete and satisfactory exposi
tion of the tariff question in all it* relations.
Another extraordinary speech has been made during the
present session by Mr. Brooks—another rising statesman of
South Carolina. Mr. Brooks discusses the issues in con
troversy between the North and the South, and his argu
ment is as just as it is oiiginal. South Carolina is fortunate
in her delegation. McQueen, Keitt, Orr, Brooks, and
Boyce, aiemen of whom the South will have occasion to
be proud—men will do no dishonor to the genius of Cal
houn, or the chivalry of Butler.— Richmond Enquirer.
Great Race —Fastest time on Record.
New Okteaxs, April 9.
The greatest race of the season took place on Saturday
and resulted in the fastest time on record. The purse
was for $2,600 and was won by Lecomte a Louisi na
horse, in two 4 miles heats, beating Lexinglon and Rude
the latter being distanced the Second heat. The time of
the first was 7 : 2G, and the second 7 : 38| —the form
er being the fastest time ever made.
Lexington was the favorite at large odds before starting.
The attendance at the course was immense, and the bet
ing heavy.
Ex-President Fillmore at Mobile.
Mobile, April 7—Ex-President Fillmore reached this

enthusiasm. A convoy of steamer?, filled with citizens,
met him, after which, under a military and civic escort, he
was borne to the City squa e, where he responded to an
address by the Mayor, in a speech of some length, which
was loudly cheered.
Ex-Secretary Kennedy also spoke. The reception was
splendid, and the multitude immense.
He leaves he.e on Tuesday next, stopping at the inter
mediate points.

Suicide. —James K. Stephens, a printer by profession,
committed suicide l y taking laudanum on Saturday morn
ing. The poor fjrllow had contracted too great a fondness
for drink, and losing the mastery of hini-elf and becoming
weary of life, sought relief in the silence ot the grave. He
was a good printer and his associates gave hirn the credit
of possessing a warm heait. Officers Fuller and Schollick
on learning the fact, searched him out, but although they
called in prompt medical aid affd acted themselves the
part of the goed Samaritan, it was too late to save him.—
He lingered under their charge until 3 o’clock on Sunday
morning and expired.— Mobile Tribune, 4th inst.
Another Planet. —The London Timet announces the
a!mos{ simultaneous discovery of another Planet, between
Mars and Jupiter, by astronomers at Bishop’s and Radclifle
observatories. This is, it is said, the iwenty-cighth planet
now known to exist between Mars and Jupiter.
Head Ache. —The following cure for sick head-ache
was tarnished to the Boston Medical Journal, by Dr. N.
S. Folsom, of Portsmouth, N. 11. ;
‘•Take any number ot drops of Croton oil, mix them
with flour and molasses, and make ns many pills as drops
of oil used. When the patient begins to feel the sick
head ache coming on, one half a pill is to betaken every
hour in molasses, or something of like consistence, until
it acts as a cathartic; and thus treated the sick headache at
each attack will be less severe, and in some cases a few
doses produces a permanent cure. He seems to think

IV hat's in the Wi\-n ?--The fast clipper Grape Shot,
about which so much comment and surmi-e have been in
dulged iu the North, appearrd yesterday off the mouth of

terious muskets of George Law, and if it is true they were
sold by George Sanders to the Eurojiean Republicans, we
think they are pursuing a very unusual and irregular course
to reach their destination. We are, satisfied, however, that
Captain Baxter, who commands the Grape Shot, will letch
up at the right place and at the right time. Quieu Sabe. —
