From the Neff-York Commercial Advertiser.
SCOTLAND, which has given bird! to some of
the principal luminaries of icience, has lately ad
ded a name to her catalogue of Geniuses, which
bids fair to equa& if not exceed,, every other.—
That name is Thomas Campbell, a young man,
not more than twenty years of age, who has just
given the world an astonishing specimen of poetic
powers in a poem called The PleaJures of Hope,
from which wehave already publilhed one extraft,
as we found it in a late London paper. Since that
time a complete copy has been put into our hands,
and we have perused it with mingled emotions of
pieafure and of wonder. It is a composition in
which imagery the most sublime, and scenes the
most simple and tender, are dilineated with the
nice Ikill of a mighty matter. Os the latter,* we
give the following fine p^ture of a mother at the
cradle of her keeping infant:
The cannon-ball, at Berghen.
ON Berghen field a cannon-ball we hear,
Has closely visited the ducal ear,
And, as it pafs'd, it said, or feem'd to fay,
Intrepid chief, you'd better haste away.
In one of the late battles in Holland the
duke of York came very near losing his
head by a (hot from the enemy. The
following is from a London paper.
THE subscriber begs leave to in
form the public, and his. friends in par
ticular, that he has opened a /
“ And fay, when, summoned from the world &
ithee,
I lay my head beneath the willow tree ;
Wilt thou, sweet mourner ! at my done appear,
And toothe my parted spirit, ling'ring near ?
Oh, wilt thou come, at evening hour to flied
The tears of memory o'er my narrow bed ;
With aching temples on thy hand reclin'd,
Muse on the lad farewell I leave behind,
Breathe a deep sigh to winds that murmur low,
And think on all my love, and alLmy woe ?"
N. B. All letters direaed to him in the
line of his business, (post paid) will be duly
attended to.

No sigh that rends thy father's heart and mine :
Bright as his manly fire the son shall be.

Sounds only when he's beat."
