FROM THK A B t. It 1) KEN JOURNAL II KAN i'.N. There is a land et c.ilui delight To sorrowing mortals gi. en ; There rapturou scenes eiKiiut the sight, And lil to soothe their souls unite ,

iiweet 11 their rest in Heaven. There Rlory beams on all the plain ; And joy. for hope, is given ; Th re nv.isic swell m sweetest strains, And spulei beauty ever reigns ; And all is love in Hcaen. There cloudless skies are ever bright, Thence gloomy scene are driven ! .There suns dispense unsullied light, Ajd lannets, beaming on the sight, IUufsje the fields of Heaven. Sfher ii stream that ever flovrs, To passing pilgrims given ; There fairest fruit immortal grows ; The verdant Uovver eternal blows Amid the fields of Heaven.

There is a great, a glorious prize, For those with sin who've striven : 'Tis bright as star of evening skies, And, far aoove, it glittering lies ; A golden crown in Heaven.

Some ti n ftr two of the men left the house. Mts L :ster, under the conviction that there was something amiss going on in tlit hiuse, related the circumstances to a constable who entered the bouse, and discovered a spectacle truly hotruVe and revobimj to every feeling of humanity. In a r.hsmber of the second story was extended on tht Hoar the naked trunk of a hums n being, divested of its head and limbs, and iu the fir place lay the head, feet tk hands, burnt almost to cinders ! The arms were saparated from the body at the

From the National Intelligencer. The facts detailed in the fourth page are too horrible to be believed, were tncy not too well authenticated to be doubted. Never did a gloomy imagination picture to itself a more shocking atrocity. After perusing the accuunt of it, we arc persuaded every reader will rejoice in finding, by the following letter from our correspondent at Norfolk, that, in this case, justice has swiftly overtaken these miscreants, who can hardly be said te- belong to the human species, and, wc are very glad, do not belong to the American family : Norfolk, Thursday 2 o'clock. " Intelligence is received that the two men supposed to have committed the horrid murder, (an account of which was given in Wednesday 'a Herald) were this morning apprehended on Sewell's Point. There examination U ju.st concluded, and they are committed for tiial." LONDON, January 23. This morning the usuvl preparations were made at the house of hrds for the reception of his majesty, a m for the important proceedings o:i tht opening of the two houses of the legislature. His majesty entered the house at five minute of 2 o'clock, attended by his numerous suite, and seated himself on the throne. About 3 o'clock the speaker, attended by the members of the house of commons, entered through the folding doors, and, approaching in front of the throne, bovcd respectfully to his majesty. Sir Thomas Tyiwitt having signified that his majesty as about to read ins speech, profound silence was immediately hisurcd. His majesty then, in a cleatvoice, rather bespeaking the complete man of business, that) the effeminate sovereign which his vile traducers have represented him. delivered the following speech : The Kivg's speech. I have the Vitisfaction of acquainting you, that I cQdinuc to receive from foreign powers, the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country. It will be a matter of deep regret to me, if the occurrences which have recently takn place in Italy should eventually lead to any intcn up'inn of tranquility in that quarter, but it will in such ca?c be my great object to secure to my people the continuance of peace. Gentlemen o the Ifotmc rf Common, The measures by which in the last session of patliamvnt, you made precision for the expenditure of my civil roern-

ment, and for the honor and dignity .f the crown, demand by warmest acknowledgments. I have directed that the estimates for the current year, shall be laid before you, and it is a satisfaction to nic to have been enabled to make some reduction in our mi!;arr establishments. You will observe, from tb" nf the public revenue, that r.ottvirhn;.: '.- the receipts in Irebnd have pT.wi n-Me-rially deficient, in consequence of the unfortunate circumstances which have affected the commercial credit of that part of the united kingdom, and although our foreign trade, during the early part of this

time, was in a state of depression, the total .cvu.ue, has, nevertheless, txeccued that oi the pi ecetdlig yi at . A coiibick tabic part uf the inuoasc must Lc asciibeU to the lit w taxes; but in some ol U.o.e branches which are the suiest inuicatiui.s ol internal wealth, the augmentation has fuiiy realized any expectation, which could have been reasonab) iotmcu of it. The separate provision which was made for the queen, a princess of ale in the year U I 4, terminated with the demise of liis mte majesty. I have, in tho mean time, directed advances, as authorised by law ; and it will, under piescnt circumstances be for you to consider what new ai langement should be made on the subject. My Lords if Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in being able to acquaint you, that a consitleaab'.c improvement has taken place within the last year in several of the most important branches of our commerce and manufacturing districts; the distresses which p:evailed at the commencement of the last session of parliament have gicatly abated. It will be my most anxious desire to concur in every measure which may be considered as caicu:acd to advance our internal prosperity. I well know that, notwithstanding the agitation produced by temporary ciicumManccs, and amidst the distress which still presses upon a latgc portion of my subjects, the firmest reliance maybe placed on that affectionate and loyal attachment to my person and government, of which I have recently received so many testimonials from all parts of my kingdom ; and which, whilst it is most grateful to the strongest feelings of my heart, I shall ever consider as the best and surest safeguard of my throne. In the discharge of the important duties imposed on you, yu will, I am confident, be sensible of the indispensable ne-cessi-v of promoting and maintaining, to the utmost of your powers, a due obedience to the laws, and of instilling into all classes of my subjects, a respect for lawful authority, and i'br those established institutions under which the country has been enabled to overcome so many difbculties, and to which, under Providence, may be ascribed our happiness and renown as a nation.
