The Dying Adventurer*
The following beautiful lines, which we find ii
an Eastern paper, were cousposed upon hearing Of
the death ou shipboard of a young man on his
way to California. We have met with few eon--'
positions more sadly interesting.
Lay up nearer, brother, nearer,
For my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence seemeth dearer,
When ihy arnr* around me fold.
I am dying, brother, dying,
Soon you'll misj. me in your berth,
For my lorm will booh bi- lying
'Neath the ocean's briny surt.
Hearken to me, brother, hearken,
1 have something I would say,
Ere the vale my vision durkeus,
And I go Iroin hence away.
I am going, surely going,
But my hope in God is Rtrong ;
I am willing, brother, knowing
That he di.etb nothing wrong.
Tell my father, when you meet hint,
That in death I prayed tor him;
Pniytd that I might one day meet him
In a world thal'n free from sin.
Tell my mother, God assim her,
Now that she is growing old ;
Say her child would glad have kissed her,
When his lips grew pale and cold,
Listen, brother, catch each whisper,
■Tis rnv wife I'd speak of now ;
Tell Oh! tell her, how I missed her
When the lever burnt my br,iw.
Tell her. brother, closely listen,
Don't forget a single word,
That in death my eyes did glisten
With ihe tears her memory stirred.
Tell her fine must kiss my children,
Like the l"is^ I last impressed,
Hold them as wheu last I held them,
F>ld< d closely to my breast.
Give th»m eariy t- iheir maker,
Putting nil h.r trust in G-»d,
And he never will forsake her,
For he said so iu his word.
Oh ! my children, heaven bless them,
Tliey were all my life to me,
Would I could once more caress them,
Ere 1 sink beneath the sea
'Twas tor them I crossed the ocean.
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But I've gained an orphan's portion,
Yet he ffOBtt) ail things well.
Tell my sisters I remember
Every kindly parting word.
And my heart has been ki-pt tender
By ilie thoughts their memory stirred.
Tell them I ne'er reached the haven
Where I sr^glit the piecious dupt^
But I've gained a part called h' aven,
Where Lhe gold1 will never rust.
Urge them to secure an entrance
For they'll find their brother there;
Faith ii  Jesus and-Repentance,
Will secun for l^em a share.
Hark ! I hear my S'i'viour speaking,
;Tis. I know bis voice so well ;
When I'm gone, ah ! dCli't be weeping,
Brother, hear my lust farewell!

Lord Palmerston, in defence of Ivia Chinese policy, made the following remarks US the English
House of Commons iu relation to Hie American
captain who destroyed the Chinese fort:—I have
heard of ft word and a blow, hut he' preferred a
blow and a word. He judged it better' to pun1
first aud tin n ask for an explanation afterwards.
He. in short, thought it better in the first place, to
knock down the offending fort, and then deiiiav.d
of Yeh an apology. He destroyed the fort add1
demanded reparation, not of the fort, but of the
nsult lo the American flag, Twenty-four hours'
W-*re gifen to the Chinese to make the apology
but before that time had elapsed, the American
captain, w.th a very shrewd eye, saw something
going on in the fort he was lying near, which in
ducd him to think that, at the end of the twenty*
four hours, the answer, if unfavorable, would find
him in a position not quite so desirable as the one
he Ihen occupied, so he renewed his attack with,
out waiting for the expiration of the time he had
fixed. I think, sir, that the honoreble member
must at least, admit that our proceeding was Ihe
extreme ot forbearance when oompafed witb that
of the America.
BitiTtSH Ixtehfj-rkkce.—Gen. Hornshy, of Nicaragua-has addressed a letter to Lo'd Napier,

aided and abetted in the slsiughter of American
citizens and plunder of American property—and
sanctioned the destruction of the Nicaragua route
to California ami' opposed and defeated every attempt to recover the steamers employed in tl at
route, with the object to obtain command of all
the routes to the Pacific,-and at will cut off all
interstate communication.-

A resolution, calling a District Convention.
consisting of delegates from the coumies of Los
Angeles, San Bernardino and Sun Diego, for the
purpose of nominating a State Senator, was th
ottered, requiring said convention to assemble on
the 25th of July^and prescribing the basis of representation.
Mr. Brent moved to strike out 25th July, with
the view of inserting 15th of August.
Mr. Thom opposed the amendment, as it would
not give sufficient time for the uominee to canvass
the district, aud the basis of representation pro
po-ed would give an undue influence to certain
minor prec'ncti*.
The vote was taken on the amendment to strike
out. which was lost.
The question then beiug on the adoption of the
resolution,
Mr. Brent suggested that the convention, being
a District Convention, representation should be
based on tbe vote of the counties for State officers
Judge Scott supported the resolution giving
representation by precincts, as more likely to Bfr
cure the full expression of the popular will.
Mr. Thom opposed that part of the resolution
referring topr.cincts. as th" precinct of S:vi Juan,
in thisj county, which cast only two Democratic
Votes, (and these were by citizens of Los Angeles,)1
would be given as much influence as the Monte or
Los Angeles townships'.'
Mr. Stephens also objected to the resolution, and
moved to atrike out that part referring to the pre-
cioctBi
After considerable discussion, the motion' to'
strike out prevailed/and the resolution, as amended, was adopted, as follows :—
Resolved, That our democratic brethren of the'
counties of San Diegt/and San Bernardino, be invited t .meet us in a District Convention, in this

pose of naming a Democratic candidate for State'

State nominee at the last general election, and'
one for each fraction of fifty votes;
On motion, the proceedings'of the convention'
