We should really like to know why it was that
at this dinner the toast to the President >of the
United States was passed in cold and derisive con-
tempt, while that to Queen Victoria was greeted
with yociferous plaudits. If the company did not
understand that, in the presence of Foreign Min
istcr and his suite, some respect was due to the
Chief Magstracy of the Nation, without regard to
The Individual who filled it, we are sorry for them
That they failed to discriminate between John Ty-
icr per SC and the President OF the Union, argues
melancholy deficiency, considering that they had
only reached the first toast. Beside, the Dinner
lad reference to the new Boundary Treaty, and
who can say that JOAN Tyler has conducted dis
credtably in relation to this Then why the in
dignity?


We are not surprised to see that some of the
lower strata of Loco, Foco demugogues are charac-
teristically endeavoring to make sort ofdirty
! capital out of this clownishness although Mayor
Morris was First Vice President, Postmaster Grn-
ham one Of the company, and the list of officers
we note the names of James Lee, Robert Sedg-
wick, c. w. Lawrence, and other prominent Van
Buren men. Why did not some of these start
cheer for the President Did any of them calcu-
late the amount of capital that might be made by
suppressing any show Of respect and then charging
it upon the Whigs7

I A Rain-storm few days since caused much
damage in the neghborhood of Springfield and
Northampton. A feeder of the great Hampshire
and Hampdcn Canal few miles above West
field, broke away, and the water in its course car
red away about 60 feet of the embankment of
the Western Railroad track, which, however, was
speedily repaired. Several other places on the
track were slightly injured. The principal loss
and damage by the rain appears to have occurred
in the Western part of Hampshire County. and
near Northampton. Roads were rendered impas-
sable, and bridges, milldams, saw-mills, &C., were
carried away.


LIFE OF CLAr.-We have barely room 10 notice
the publication by J. Winchester, in an extra New
World Of the " Life and public services of Henry
Clay" The absorbing interest of the subject, the
ability of the execution, and the unequaled cheap
ness of the publication should place in the hands
of every voter in the country. We may return to
it heresfter.


AT7Expr AT SuIcIDE.-We are sorry to learn
that youth named Walker, residing not far from
the Long Bridge, last Wednesday attempted TO
destroy himself, in fit of disappointment or des-
pondency. We understand that he stabbed him
self SO severely that the attending physician yet
regard his recovery as doubtful: Nat. Int.
