Your heart-warm welcome of tb* bines, Haih lent me power to smother, And kindness, worlds beyond my dues; You've shown, aa towards a brother. The delvt of love that hath accrued, I tremble when I say it,— Is nnw so vast thnt I, if sued.

One sweet, responsive s ring I've kenned Upon my heart's guitar, That tleeply vibrates when the hand Of inem'ry lingers there. Forth, now, it pours its music wide, As 'twere, a heavy ocean, And swells my bosom with a tide, Of grateful, fond emotion. Of all your nohle deeds and kind, Not one unheeded paases; For oft doth love, though reckoned blind, Wear magnifying.glasses. The cop of kindness' ye have lent, A strangers heart to gladden, May Heaven to your own lips present, When aught your souls may sadden. So take ye now my parting hand, My parting love expressing, God smile upon your noble hand; God grant you every blessing; And cmwn yoar toiling, with success, Your pathway all made even, And cheer you while you onward press, To gain the goal of Heaven.

Sir, I have received your despatch, No. 8, of the 12th ult., stating that measures have been taken for-the purpose of raising a subscription in the United States for the relief of the destitute Irish poor. And I have to instruct you to take every opportunity of saying how grateful Her Majesty's Government, und the British nation at large, feel for this kind and honorable manifestation of sympathy by the citizens of the United States for the sufferings of the Irish people. It might, indeed, have been expected, that a generous and high-minded nation would deeply commiserate the sufferings which an awful visitation of Providence has inflicted upon so large a population, descended from the same ancestors as themselves. But the Rctivc and energetic assistance which the people of the United States are thus affording to the poor Irish, while it reflects the highest honor upon our transatlantic brethren, must tend to draw closer, and to render stronger nnd more lasting, those ties of friendship and mutual esteem, which Her Majesty's Government trusts, will long continue to exist between the two great branches ofthe Anglo-Saxon family— separated, indeed from each other by geographical position, but united together by common interests, to which every succeeding year must add increasing extension and force.
