Hll .1 ms'T tiupic pumicauon, wnicn naa mat reach ed us furnishes the beat and fullest account we hare yet seen, in so smalli a compass, of the rail of thl, conntry at lateat datM 'n regard to New York and Massachusetts, which State haTe embarVed mOBt lar, thnM Dh lie works, the list of roads and the account of their cost, income, condition and operations is complete.

For the rest of the Union they are lee accurate, but they are nevertheless very in teresting, There are twenty six different railroads com pleted in MasHacRusells, of an aggregate length 1,056 miles, covering the State with an iron net work. The total paid in capital of those compa niea is $41,923,489 the whole cost of the roads with all their equipments was $53,467,283. The earliest of those roads was completed in 1835, and up to 1840 sis roads had been completed at a cost of about twelve and a quarter million of dollars. milUoll8, The8e principal roads have also short In 1852 there were twenty two, costing fifty three branches amounting in number to twelve, ex tending 104 miles ana costing in eluding these, the total length of Massachusetts roads is 1,260 miles, and the total cost 56,559,932, showing an annual expenditure of principal for railroads of more than $3,300,000 for seventeen years. The number of miles run by passenger trains on these roads in 1851, was more than three millions, and the number of passengers carried over nine millions.

The total income of all these roadg in 1351,0 about $7,077,000, and their total expenditures about $3,836,000, leaving a net prom of 3,241,000, which is rather more than six per cent, average lor every roau. oui uiese are 01 1 1 divers degrees of value and profit. The divi dends on the principal ro ads range from seven to nine per cent. At the last two sessions of the Massachusetts Legislature, twenty two charters have been granted to new roads or branches, with a capital amounting to $5,465,000, and addi tions were authorized to the stock of existini; companies of $3,705,000. Here is a picture of aukee enterprise which may be very profitably studied by the people of the South, and if rightly comprehended and wisely emulated, will do more to advance Southern prosperity than any amount of general declamation about Northern monopoly of Southern trade.

The other completed railroads in the New England States have an aggregate length of 1,393 miles. Eight are in Maine, nine in New Hampshire, seven in Vermont, one in Rhode Island, and eight in Connecticut. Their aggre gate cost is not stated in regard to all of them but of fourteen the cost is given in round num bers. The aggregate is about 21,000,000. The whole cost of New England railroads, completed, therefore, not less than $80,000,000 and some magnificent enterprises are under construction, which are not included in this list one is the Atlantic and St.

Lawrence, from Portland, the Canada line, where it meets the Montreal road. Another to connect Montreal, via Con cord, N. besides a number of roads of less importance which are prosecuted with untiring vigor. New York has twenty two railroads complete and in operation, extending 1,513 miles, at a cost $65,472,000: and eight others nearly com pleted 619 miles in length. The cost not stated.

The Erie Railroad is the longest of these works, beiag 464 mllee costing $25,028,858. The num ber of miles run by the trains on this rood in 1851 was 1,459,200. The income from passengers was $1,168,536, and from treight $1,108,138 total earnings $2,271,774 total expenses $1,072,118 net lucorne $1,19850. The miles of completed railroads in New York and New England amount to 4,179. Those char tered and in progress, to be soon completed, would swell the list to 5,625.

The whole extent railro in all the other States, completed and in use, is 7,447 miles. There are, however, chartered or commenced, many long and impor tant roads, which are not taken into account at in the summary from which we are extracting. Later from Tejcas. By the arrival ot the steamship Perseverance, CapL Forbes, we have received dates from Ual veston to the 6th inst. A fire broke out in' Galveston on the morning the 5th, in a wooden building occupied by Mr.

P. Davie as a tinner's shop, and the flames spread with great rapidity. The losses sum up follows, as near as was ascertained Mr Davie's buildings, goods and implements, $5,000 Mr. Dean's buildings and goods, $5,000 building occupied by Mr. Welch, property of Col.

Fannin's heirs, total, $11,000. Mr. Dean had $2,000 insured upon his buildings. The other parties were uninsured. The fire is believed to have been caused by a small portable furnace, used by Uie tinners to heat soldering irons.

It was reported that the Trinity had risen 3 feet at Dallas, and there was a prospect of a further rise, as the creeks were quite full. Capt. Bodman writes to the Journal from Troy, and says cotton is coming in tolerably fast, and that there will be shipped from that point this season from six hundred to one thousand bales. The ship Lochinvar and the bark Richmond have arrived at Galveston from Bristol, England, with 1,700 tons railroad iron for the Harrisburg Railroad Lieut Bonaparte, of the United States Army, cousin to the present Emperor of France, arrived Galveston in the Perseverance, on his way to join his corps in Texas. The Houston Telegraph has information that the citizens of Spriugfield have subscribed $30,000 to the Galveston and Red River Railroad, and the citizens of Cosicana have subscribed about 20,000.

The engineer commenced the survey of the Texas and IOuisiana Railroad, at the boundary, on the 30th to progress west, via Marshall The Leon Pioneer says it ia rumored that should a vacancy occur in the place of I. S. Sen ator from Texas, Judges Hemphill and Lipscomb will be candidates for the vacancy. The anniversary of St John the Evangelist was celebrated bv the Masonic Fraternity of Houston, in quite an imposing manner. The new Masonic Hall was dedicated, the officers of the Lodge and Encampment installed, an address delivered by P.

W. Gray, and a splendid ball and supper given in the evening. A man named Henry was convicted in the District Court at Houston, on the 23d ult, for the murder of a German, whose name is unknown. The Houston Telegraph informs us that the enterprising commissioners of the Galveston and Red River Railroad intended to commence work oa the first section of the road about four miles from Houston, on the 3d inst, and that they de sign to continue the work without intermission, until it terminates at the Brazos. About one million of dollars, it says, have been subscribed in Texas for the construction of this road, and concludes if its friends at the West, and in North ern Texas will come forward and aid manfully in the good work, the road may be completed from Houston to Red River before either of the great lines from the Mississippi reach the East era border.

Theokore allow had bis leg badly fractured, and will probably be rendered a cripple for life, by the bursting of an old musket barrel, at Mata gorda, on Christmas. The Matagorda Tribune contradicts the statement that Messrs. Gordon fc Duncan, of that place, had contracted to remove the raft in the Colorado. The matter is still in the bands of the company. The following Items are from the San Antonio Ledger Oa Tuesday evening the Santa Fe mail arrived.

It left Santa on the 1st inst. and Bl Paso on the 10th. The 8anta Fe papers contain aothinf ef iaterest. The Iadiaa depredations aboat 1 Paso have ceased to a eoaaldsrable os teat. A few daa fee fore the arrival ot the train, however, thev attacked a wiroa on the road to the place, and within its vicinity, and rifled it of its contents, ivo other damage was aon.

uo the roote from Rl Paso thihterward many Indian trails were encountered, and a few flying Indians were descried in Aa distance. Mr. wauaee, tne charge of the train, was left unwell at Los Moras. The roods were never in a gner condition or the water in greater profusion. The train bronght in a slave boy who entered their camp near Los Moras in a starving condition.

He belongs to John Sweeny, who lives on tbe Hernard, some twelve miles distant from Columbia. He la now in our iail. On Wednesday night last, in the neighborhood of Oastroville, a body of marauders, supposed to be Indians, visited sttverai or tbe I arm yards and abstracted soma nl teen tiorsee. Thev were slightly facetious in their movements, cutting off tne tans oi coits, auu periorming uae amusing antics. A boy who taw them cross the Medina unequivocally pronounces in era inuians.

au arrow shot in a cow corroborates his statement. On leaving the settlement, with much fun, they rang a cow bell in derision. They were not pursued. On thn 23d ult. a oartv of Lioan Indians, con sisting of five, and headed by the chief Manuel, made a descent upon the rancho of Lucas Manas, on the San Antonio river, about thirty miles below our city, and abstracted twenty five horses.

A party of eight whites immediately started in pursuit and overtook them at the junction of the San Miguel and Rio Frio rivers. Making a charge upon the Indian encampment, they succeeded in capturing tbe stolen animals. Removing the horses some half a mile distant, they mtnrned to nunish the red robbers. The result was the recapture of the horses on the part of ine inaians, ana tne wounuiux lumo ui iuu whites. The Indians also succeeded in obtaining 1 1 I the saddles and other accoutrements belonging to the pursuing men.

The party returned with only three mounted men. Congressional. WAiuraoTO.v. Jan. 3.

After some remarks bv Mr. Cass in suDDort of tne prayer ol tne memorial, it was relerred to Uie Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Morton presented resolutions from the Le gislaturesof Florida in favor of the removal of the bar of Volucia, on Lake George, In that State in favor of the establishment of a land office at Tampa, and in favor of the establishment of certain post routes. Mr.

Mason asked the senate to take up tne re solution submitted by him on the 23d ult in relation to the tripartite treaty in regard to Cuba, which had been partially debased, but not acted on. Some Senators had expressed a wish to be heard on the subject and the future considera tion was postponed until the 4th inst He wished to have the resolution adopted, and had made the motion at the instance of Senators who would prefer to speak after the resolution had been an swered. The resolution was taken up and agreed to. On motion bv Mr. Downs, the Senate took on the bill granting to the State of Louisiana the military reserve at Fort Jesup for a seminary of education and it was passed.

On motion ot Mr. elch. the benate look up House bill authorizing certain soldiers of the late war with Great Britain to surrender the bounty lands drawn by them, and to locate others in lieu thereof; and it was read and passed. un motion or Mr. Borland, tbe senate pro ceeded to consider the bill to revive a portion of an act for the relief of the widows of deceased soldiers, and a long debate ensued fending which, the senate adjourned.

A long debate took place on tbe Cuban ques.

tion, of which we find the following sketch in I the Baltimore Sun SMr. Venable, of North Carolina, after alluding to the prevailing public opinion with reference to the acquisition of territory, said he was strictly conservative, as were those whom he represented, and was opposed to extenuation. He ex reused his approbation of the course pursued the Government relative to the Cuban inva ion, however much he might deplore the fate of those who sacrificed their lives by the measure. He would stand up, be said, lor the Monroe doctrine, but condemned any unwarrantable interference with the rights of other nations. He went at much length into the inexpedi ency or acquiring Cuba, and the consequence which snch acquisition would produce.

He contended tbat those who cau take care of their liberties already have it, and that the common law is the foundation of human freedom. He did not much approve of the course of the Administration, but approved of the position which the President had assumed with reference to the increase of the territory of a friendly power, and expressed a conviction that the incoming Administration would pursue the same course. After some further remarks relative to the effects of attacks upon Cuba, and the inducements they might have to urge the Government of.Spain to emancipate tne slaves, Mr. Stephens, ot Georgia, said he would not an ticipate the future expressed himself in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, and apprehended no danger from snch an acquisition, which he considered would be prevented by the compromise measure, which permitted newly acquired States to choose such institutions as they pleased. Mr.

Bail of Virginia, said he had ascertained that a resolution had passed the Senate, calling for information as to the state of nnr relations with Spain, and he hoped all diaeuwion would be postponed titl information had been received upon the subject Mr. Brown ot Mississippi, was in lavor oi tne acquisition of Cuba, for the purpose of extend ing ine area oi slavery, aou uiu not iDucipmn the general emancipation of slaves in that island as consequent upon attempt to invade it: nor did he consider those who would assist its people procuring their freedom as buccaneers. He was in lavor ol maintaining the American nag. and disapproved of the course pursued by the Government in relation to the Crescent City affair, which he trusted would occupy the attention of the next Administration. He said he would adduce noarrnments arainst the acquisition of Cuba, but would rather prepare the public mind for that event The speech of tbe gentleman from North Carolina, he thought, would nave a contrary eltect Mr.

Wilcox, of Miseissioni. said he expected that the next Administration would be marked by a spirit of conservatism and reform, and that its motto would be peace. He was not in favor of the acquisition of Cuba at the present time at all hazards, although events might render it desirable. He did not consider that the exigencies of tbe Government required the acquisition of the island, although circumstances might render it a nublic necessity, and when that shonld be the case, be would be in favor of acquiring it at all hazards. He roee, he said, to address the committee on another subject There was a resolution on the table, conferring the rank of Lieutenant General on Majoc Goneral Scott, and he availed himself of that opportunity to express a hope that when the question should come up, the vote would pass with unanimity.

He went on to show that the title of Lieutenant General was recognized by the constitution and went into a history of the Mexican war to prove that Gen. Scott was entitled to tbe honor which it was proposed to confer all others who had distinguished themselves in that war having been rewarded by the nation. He concluded bv referring to the general or ders, issued after the occupation of the city of Mexico, which he said reflected honor upon its author, and to the laudable manner in which Gen. Scott exercised unlimited power and sta tedthat although a Democrat, yet he should vote for the resolution. The committee then rose, and the Chairman reported the two bills which had been agreed to, and they were read a third time and passed.

The House then adjourned. 17 Henry Veazie, a prominent citizen of Rome, Oneida county, N. died on the 18th nit His funeral took. place on the 22d, daring which the stores and places of business were all closed.

The Diario de la Marina speaks in terras of rejoicing of the recent news from Spain, the dis solution of the Cortes, and the publication of the new absolutist programme by the present Ministry. It says that although there may be parties in Spain, there are none in Cuba.

It goes on to aay Surrounded on every aide by arrange races, and even by ambitious neighbor, the sentiment of nationality ani mate every boaoni, and keepa In rabjection every other feeling. Spaniard! now and forever, with enthuauam and through deliberate reasoning, there are no divlaiona among and even if, in the laat struggle for dynaaty, the reault had not been favorable to tbe only Juat rauae, we hould have unanimously sacrificed ourdeairra opon the altar of national unity. Gathered round our national standard, (and our example will tiud uni venal imitation in Cuba) we wait impaaaively the reault of every criaia. although it ahould be a thouaand titnea greater than the preseut, confiding alwaya in the wiadoin of our beloved Queen and in the patnotiam of tne Spauuh nation." The Diario also' states tbat Gen. Narvaez had had a very flattering interview with the Queen, and had delayed his departure for Andalusia.

The importation of 6,000 Chinese colonists into Cuba occupies the attention of the same paper, and several of its leaders are devoted to the sub ject It says that five Spanish ships have been chartered in Manilla and have gone to Amoy to load with emigranta for Cuba. Peter Hicks," the New ork correspondent of the Diario, has a long letter upon the recent dis cussion in the Senate on Mr. Mason's resolution. The Diario says that Mr. Mason can only be understood as follows France and England believe that the poaaeaaion of Cubs by tbe United Statee would be pregnant with evil to their intereata.

and they therefore adopt thla method to give ua to nnderatand that they have formed an alliance with the view of preventing inch an event." The Captain General was at Matanzas on the 31st, and was received in stale by the authorities. The Bishop had also left Havana for a tour through the eastern part of his diocese. Advices from St Jago state tbat on the 24th ult another shock of an earthquake was felt at that place, at about half past 4 in the morning, which was succeeded by a alight tremulous movement half an hour afterwards. The epidemic had almost entirely disappeared from that city. A letter from Manzanillo, dated the 22d of De cember, States that the cholera had raged there about twenty days, and the number of deaths nearly reached 200, the greater part of them being upon the plantations in the immediate vicinity.

We have not bad cold enough to stop vegetation, and we notice quite a good stand of cane in most of the fields, all of which will be lost, as we expect some very severe cold.

We have in our garden peach and plumb trees in bloom, and with green leaves upon them. Since writing tne above tne winu smiled round to the north and blew very heavy and cold all day on Monday last, so much so astomakeit dangerous to cross the river, and on Tuesday morning we had quite a heavy frost and some considerable Foundlings in Paris. The Paris correspond ent of the New York Times, in a letter, gives the following account of the way in which infants are placed in the Foundling Hospital in that city You probably know the manner of entrusting the offcoring that you cannot provide: for your self, to the tender care of the State. You take him wrapped in a towel to tne establishment, in the Rue Enfer; yon place him on the shelf of the dumb waiter you take care to steady him ell in the middle, so that the torn may not scrape him. Yon then ring the bell the dumb waiter, wnicn is apparently not ueai, revoives upon a pivot; the young man goes in, while an empty shelf comes out, ready to receive another hurden ol tne same son.

i ne motnerana iatner, if they have any hope or intention of one day redeeming their child, pin a name on the towel, by which it is known, and by which it may be subsequently distinguished from the rest Five thousand mtants are. inns annually conndeato tbe State, in Paris alone, and the number of withdrawals by the parents has never been over one hundred and thirteen a year, and it does not average even a nunarea. The Irish and Miss 0 Council. A niece of the agitator has recently published a book, in which she thus speaks of ber countrymen Yes I they like leaving their business; they fail lamentably in persevering industry and so it is that in several of the larger towns in Ireland the principal houses of business are conducted by Scotchmen.

Of course I heard manv exam plea of the contrary and I know that, away from their country, they seem to need neither plodding perseverance oi ine cngiisn, nor tbe tbritty lore thought of the Scotch.

You will see that our "worthy" Common Council are about being brought up with a round turn at last This wise" body met last evening, and on coming to the. Broadway Railroad pro ject, previously passed by them, they re passed it over tbe veto of the Mayor, and also over an injunction issued by Judge Campbell, of the Su preme Court, forbidding tbem taking further action in the matter! Was ever such corruption and villainy before heard of in a civilized coDUn unity, and who would ever have dreamed that cuch a state of things could have existed in the city of New York. But of course the matter is all understood. In my letter to you a few days since I exhibited some tricks by which a portion of the members oi tbe Board had been guilty of corruption, and it is now well known to all that the tempter gold is what drives them to the acts they have re cently committed. The debate upon the re passage of the bill last evening was a very exciting one, and the ma jority carried their point by contending that the judiciary had no business to meddle in their affairs.

Alderman Ward opposed the ground taken, as did also Aldermen Pearsall and Boyce, each of whom refused to vote on the side of the plunderers. The following are the names of those who voted in favor of the re passage of the bill the audacity of the proceeding demanding that they should be spread before the world Aldermen Moore, Haley, Sturtevant, Barr, Tweed, Coin ton, the President, Brisley, Francis, Smith, Bard, Denman, Cornell, Doherty and Peck. The same gentlemen" also passed a series of resolutions to the effect tbat the Taction of Judge Campbell was illegal that the Common Council had as much right to suspect improper motives on tlie part of a judge in any decision he might render, as the judge had in regard to the legisla tive action of the Common Council, and that the measure adopted By the Council (the passage of the bill was adopted on the grounds of public expediency, justice and right, and for the best good of the city These resolutions certainly cap the climax. particularly that portion which looked after the public good. The whole proceeding, as I have before said, is from beginning to end one of cor.

ruption to the core. What I meant by the "gen tlemen above being brought up with a round turn," had reference to a summons issued to day by the Superior Court, for the Board to show cause why an attachment should not be issued against them for contempt of court, in disobeying the injunction. There is considerable excite ment existing upon the subject, and it is to be hoped that a telling example will be made of the delinquents. Let this be done, and Judge Campbell will receive the thanks of the best portion of our community. Since commencing this letter I have heard a report that the Board of Assistants have con curred in the action of the Aldermen by a vote of 13 yeas to 3 navs.

The press are naturally enough indignant at such highhanded proceedings, with the exception of the Herald, which, being in the pay of the plunderers, keeps rather shady. It is understood that the Council have engaged men of talent to conduct their case, and the Al dermen are confident of success. Should they be, the bill will become a law but should the case go against them, they will probably be arrested, and the bill be declared a nullity. The fun is yet to come. A despatch from Boston informs me of the sudden death, this evening, of Amos Lawrence a well known wealthy and highly esteemed citizen or that place, and brother of Abbott Law.

rence, late U. S. Minister to England. His death, as might well be supposed, has cast a profound gloom amoug the circle in which he moved, as it will also prove a heavy blow to the many societies and individuals that the open hand and purse of the deceased so often assisted. The unfavorable nature of his condition was apparent to his friends but fifteen minutes, at the expiration of which he was cold and lifeless.

I learn prom Concord that the Legislature after a warpi and protracted debate, indefinitely postponed the new liquor bill, by a vote of 147 to 128, which as good as knocks it in the head at once. It is quite likely, however, that another bill will be framed, (as soon as this one is certainly killed,) which will perhaps be less stringent iu its nature. The. above is already the second liquor bill that has been brought before the Legislature at its present session. Among the pilgrims at Concord, are Gen.

Wool and Hon. John W. Forney. Judge Curtis, of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, has decided in the case of Green rs. the City of Providence, for seizing liquors held in his possession, in accordance with the law, that said law is unconstitutional, and that the plaintiff is entitled to damages.

The Times commenced this morning a history Of the events of the year just closing, which it intends continuing over Saturday. To day's chapter occupies more than half of its ample double sheet, and from appearances it will be one of the most perfect and desirable records ever given to the public byt the newspaper press. The Times deserves great credit for its enterprise. Its position at the present time is second to none, while its coarse is continually onward. The "appearance of Madame Alboni at the Broadway, in opera, has proved a decided hit, that immense establishment being crowded nightly with the beauty and fashion of the city.

She has thus far appeared only in Cenerentala," otherwise called "Cinderella," but on Monday will appear in the favorte opera of "Somuam, bula." The operati furore was seldom greater than at the present moment Madame Sontag commences in about a week, when the furore will be greatly increased. Our State Legislature assembles on Monday next, and the message of Gov. Seymour will be sent in on that day. The document, I nnderatand, is able and concise. AfrrELors.

rCorrearondence of the Picayune. 1 Nxw YoaK, Z7ec. 30, 1S52. The Board of Aldermen last evening adopted the Broadway Railroad bill, notwithstanding the Mayor's veto. This was done In defiance of an injunction granted by Judge Campbell, restraining all further action in the matter on the part of the Common Council, while it should remain in force.

Consequently this order of the court was altogether disregarded, and the strange spectacle was presented of a body of men occupying next to the foremost place in our city government, trampling without any ceremony on the law because it conflicted with their own wishes. What an example this to emanate from those to whom the interests of our metropolis are, tor tne time being, committed I Of course, every member of the Board of Aldermen, who thus set himself above the law's power, will have to bear the responsibility. Already member who shared in the illegal proceeding has been notified to aDDear in court on Monday next to Bhow cause why an attachment against him should not be iaaned. Of course the affair, in its present shape. is commanding much atteution, and every one is enrinna to see what will be the final result Tho Assistant Aldermen have now to give ineir annctJon to the Railroad bill, by a two thirds vote, before its adoption is perfected.

1 ney are in tne same position as were the members of the other Rnsrd. and if they take any action In the premi sses, they too do it without regard to the injunc tion. They meet this evening, wnenineir deter mination will be made. They are obliged to be quick, as they must vacate their places and give nn their official authority on the first of January. The impression is that they will follow in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors, and with them abide the consequences.

Any one can see at a glance that all this interest which our present Common Council shows in behalf of the Broadway Railroad project, comes not merely from a desire to benefit oar metropolis. The whole business, from the very commencement has savored of official corruption. Had there been no bribery used, our authorities would never have pursued the policy they have in connection with this measure. The weather is quite mild, and the North river, strange as it may sound, is epea to Altany Thau wha orotond to know something on tne mhjeot say that we. are 1 mild winter tarwrtoat.

Death of tho Hon. Amos Lawrence. The report of the death of that good man, the Hon, Amos Lawrence, is confirmed.

The Boston Courier, of the 1st inst, thus notices the melancholy event: Hon. Amoa Lawrence, brother of tbe late Minister to England, and senior partner in the house of A. A. Lawrence Sc died at his residence in Tremorrt street, about half past 12 clock yesterday morning, of a disease of the stomach, contracted many years ago. This will be sad pews to thousands who, though they had never seen their benefactor, were not unfamiliar with his unassuming spirit of charity, which was ever ready to aid the needy and the unfortunate.

Mr. Lawrence was born at Groton, ia this State, on the 22d of April, 1786. He was educated at the Groton (now Lawrence) Academy. He came to Boston in 1806, and commenced business on his own account and, in 1813, he united with his brother Abbott in the manufacturing business. This prosperous firm was thirty nine years old at the day of Mr.

Amos Lawrence's death. In 1821, Mr. Lawrence had a severe attack of gastric lever, and he has been in feeh In health ever since, in consequence of which the duties of the senior partner devolved upon his brother. This fever laid the foundation of tbe disease which has proved fatal. For tnianv years Mr.

Lawrence has been obliged to weigh his food, such was the state of his stomach and the least deviation in the quantity would cause great agony, if not a spasmodic fit Mr. Lawrence had a distaste for political honpre. He served, we "believe, one year in the House of Representatives of his native State, and was a district elector in the last Presidential election. This is the substance of his public ca i i i reer. ms private uie, nowever, waa sucn as to endear him to all his fellow citizens.

The poor nau no truer mend, ana ail enterprises ol a beneficial character received his encouragement and aid. He contributed gio.ooo towards tbe completion of the Bunker Hill Monument, and from time to time has given some $30,000 to Williams College. The poor of this city have received from his purse liberally but there is no record ol tbe sum. The ease with which he has often been imposed upon by imppsitors in the guise of philanthropists, indicates how readily his heart was touched. His was the true charity he gave alms without parade and in the right spirit Go! fair example of untainted youth.

Who knew no wish but what the world might hesr; Of softest manners, unaffected mind, Ixvrr of peace, and friend of human kind. Go live! for Heaven's eternal year ia thine! Go, and exalt thy mortal to divine. The Advertiser, in its notice, says: The day before he had been seen in our streets, aod was visiting his friends, and taking his daily exercise in his carriage, enjoying his usual degree of health.

He retired to rest at the cus tomary hour, but was seized near morning with an attack of tbe disease with which he has of late years been affected, and passed from the world almost unconsciously. Mr. Lawrence has for forty years or more been highly respected aa a merchant of Boston. He was the senior partner of the house of A. ec A.

Lawrence fc Co. It is understood that he had contemplated withdrawing from a place in the firm, and giving up his share of the responsibilities of it, and tbat the requisite arrangements had been made and the papers signed which were necessary to accomplish this purpose on the day before his death. The Atlas says There are thousands in this city, of the poor and lowly, the widow and the fatherless, who will lament to the last day of their existence, his death. He was not a public man, not a politician, not a statesman, not a man who looked forward to office or to hirh nositioras in the State. He was simply a good man, a man whose light of lite was warm and cheering, and wbicn, wnen cast in the'desolate and waste places, cheered the sorrowing and breaking heart Who can tell how much happiness this good man has created? Who can tell how many firesides he has caused to smilet Who can tell how much ignorance he hath dispelled, how much misfortune he hath alleviated He did his works of love and goodness in secret and by himself.

Wherever he went he carried good books, good advice, and the fer vor of a pure and nprigbt heart. For years he has lived among ns as one who had no certain lease of life. His illness was of a nature that he might be taken from us at any moment, and yet he was always cheerful. He had alwaya a kind word, and a God speed you, to every one. He knew that his hour of departure was approaching; when it would come 'he could not even conjec ture, but he was always ready.

to ten ot all the good wbicb our departed lei low citizen has done, would occupy much room, and it never will be known. He bid his good deeds in his heart. He lived a noble life, and in his death, though not unexpected, is mourned over as that of one on whom the grace and be nevolence of God had been profusely poured out His chief mourners will be among the afflicted of this world. His name will be preserved by them as a happy recollection of a good man, who had a leeiing heart and who did not wait lor caws, Dut who searched himself for the unfriended and indi gent and gave relief. taF9 A large number of vessels are being built this winter in Cleveland.
