M R . PRATT, to whom the public have been already indebted for several valuable poetical Pieces, which have deservedly met with general approbation, is well known to be the Author of this Poem. In his preface he observes as follows:— "What I ventured abroad some years since under the title of Sympathy—a Poem, which, on account of the interests created in the heart by the subject itself, was received by the Public with much generous warmth—was intended to serve as a preliminary to what I had farther to observe on society, or a prospect of the human race, under the combined influences of crime and government, religion, laws and liberties:—From these, the transition to tyranny was natural and strongly in connection; and from tyranny, I felt myself called upon by all the awakened emotions of Humanity, to consider slavery; but not only that species of it which consists in buying and selling our fellow creatures in Africa, but every other kind, in every other place. Views, therefore, of freedom and bondage, throughout the different parts of the globe, have been taken, as well from experience, as the best historical evidence."
The Poem commences with the following beautiful lines:
"FROM vernal blooms and many a fragrant bower, The red'ning blossom and unfolding flower, From breezy mountains and the covert vale, The gliding water and the whispering gale, From gayer scenes where careless Fancy stray'd, Bask'd in the sun, or frolick'd in the shade, Ambitious grown, and touch'd by generous praise, Now turns the Muse to more adventurous lays; No more she paints the tints of blushing morn, Nor hangs the dew-drop on the trembling thorn; No more, the brook runs murmuring in her line, No more, fair Spring, her florid verse is thine; Farewell, a long farewell, to founts and flow'rs, Far loftier themes demand her thoughtful powers."
Where'er sublime Society expands, By art or nature form'd, thy potent bands, Thro' realms of heat where faints th' expiring breeze,
Or piercing climes, where the sun seems to freeze; In darksome caverns, on tremendous steeps, Th' embow'ring forest, or the billowy deep: Where roars the gulph, or where the streamlets flow,
Or dazzling mountains rise of endless snow, Soon shall the dare to wing the vast domain, Thy awful power the subject of her strain."
The Author then proceeds in a very judicious manner to enter on the various subjects that are naturally included in the theme he proposes to illustrate; and as we are persuaded that our Readers will applaud his zeal as well as his poetical talents, we shall lay before them the following extract, as a specimen of the Poem.
"But, ah! first kneeling at Compassion's shrine, Her opening lay, HUMANITY, be thine! For thou, her guardian, parsoness, and guide, She owns with rapture, and obeys with pride! Thee she invokes, O! soother of distress, Who with our kindness wove our happiness; For as thy circling virtues round us move, From their best deeds thy brightest joys we prove; Oft as our neighbor sinks in sudden grief, Thou wak'st as sudden to afford relief. Oft as the stranger's bosom heaves with sighs, The soft responses in our bosoms rise; The cries of terror and the throes of care, The groan of misery, and distraction's glare, Sickness that droops, disease that gasps for breath, The howl of madness, and the shrieks of death, Deep sounds of agony that most affright, Dread views of horror that most blast the sight, Dire as they are, like wondrous magnets draw, And own, HUMANITY, thy sacred law."
And Oh! 'tis thine, when vital breath seems fled, To seek the awful confines of the dead; Drag the pale victim from the whelming wave, And snatch the body from the floating grave; Beneath the billow, tho' entomb'd it lies, Thy dauntless zeal the roaring main defies; Inspir'd by him, whose hallow'd touch reitor'd The darling son the widow's foul deplored, Her matron bosom eas'd of dire alarms, And gave the youth to her despairing arms, 'Tis thine to plunge into the bloating flood, Clasp the swol'n frame, and thaw the frozen blood; Breathe in the lips reanimating ire, Till warm'd to Second Life, the drown'd respire."
Hark! as those lips once more begin to move, What sounds ascend of gratitude and love! Now with the Great Redeemer's praise they glow, Then blest the "agents of his power below; New sprung to life, the renovated band, Joyful before their second Saviours stand; And oh, far sweeter than the breathing spring, Fairer than Paradise, the wreaths they bring. The blissful homage refou'd friends impart; Th' enraptur'd incense of a parent's heart, O'er aw'd, and wond'ring at themselves they see And feel the power of soft HUMANITY!
When sovereign Reason from her throne is hurl'd,
And with her all the subject senses whirl'd, From sweet HUMANITY, the nurse of grief, Even thy deep woes, O Phrenzy! find relief; For tho' the tresses loose and bosom bare, And marie glance thy hapless state declare, With gentle hand she still supports thy head, Beguiles thy wandering wit, and smooths thy bed; Assists thy roving fancy in its flight, To crown thy airy fallies with delight; And healing balm to thy warp'd sense brings, Till from her softness magic comfort springs, And joys which reason with a frown denies, Her tender pity with a smile supplies; E'en in thy prison-house she bids thee draw From the rough sceptre, and the crown of straw, The mimic truncheon, and the love-knot true, Full many a transport Reason never knew; And at thy grated cell she oft appears, She culls thee flowers, and bathes them with her tears;
The perfum'd violet and the blooming rose, On thy hut mind a radiant bliss bestows; Into a thousand shapes the garlands change, As fairy fancy takes its antic range; Then as thy brows the fragrant wreaths adorn, The roses seem to bloom without a thorn.
Yet not to woes confin'd, for pleasurable song, The recket's frolics of the village throng; Ev'n as we pass them by in distant lands; Thou mak'st our own, and oft we join the bands, The sudden sound of happiness we hail, And swell the chorus echoing in the gale; Gladly we pause, then blythe pursue our way, While brighter sunshine seems to gild the day; For from the jovial groupe as we depart, Thy richer sunshine beams upon the heart;
Thus bliss is doubled, and thus pain can warm, From thee, HUMANITY, both boast a charm; We cheer, are cheer'd, now grant and now receive,
And need, in turn, the comfort which we give. Thus thy fair streams spread plenty where they run,
Yet blest the fountains whence those streams began; Like the rich Nile thy sources ne'er are dry, Although a thousand channels they supply.
But thou from whom these bosom'd comforts flow,
HUMANITY! thou friend to joy and woe, Hast still ordain'd that grief to crimes belong, And that keen anguish shall attend on wrong; Pride, hate, revenge, and tyranny, and strife, As they mix poisons in the bowl of life, Dash their own cup, and impotently try To break, unpenish'd, nature's social tie: Good, is of good productive, ill, of ill, Conscience o'er both exerts her empire still, And the great truth shall ev'ry tyrant know, The woe he gives, shall be repaid by woe."
L O N D O N, May 29.
Miss Elizabeth Courtney, daughter of Lord Courtney, eloped on Thursday evening last from her father's house, Grosvenor square, to Gretia Green, with the second son of the Duke of Beaufort. The particulars are these:—The young runaway, had better to conceal her designs, had bespoken a fine new dress for the Duke of York's Ball on the Friday evening. On the night preceding, Miss Courtney, being engaged with the family at a route, affected indisposition and consequently remained at home. About 12 o'clock at night, she and her maid sallied forth, armed only with the quivers of Cupid. At the end of Duke-street a post-chaise was in waiting with the hero in it, and off the two lovers drove. The maid returned, and went to bed. Being rather late in stirring in the morning, she was called by some of her fellow-servants. She then declared, that so far from oversleeping herself, she really had not slept a moment, for that she knew she would be turned off in the course of the day. Then she candidly explained. The hue and cry was raised, but all in vain.
The Hon. Miss Elizabeth Courtney is a lady of a very reserved, modest, and amiable disposition. The affection has lasted for some time. It was not from dislike to the match that Lord Courtney was angry at his daughter's elopement; on the contrary, he approved of it. But his Lordship's pride was hurt on discovering some time ago the mutual affection of the young pair to the Duke of Beaufort, who disapproved of it. His Lordship, highly piqued at his daughter having been rejected, he and the family endeavored to wean the predilection of the young lady, but all in vain.

Extract of a letter from Cirencester, June 20. "During divine service last Sunday morning at our parish church, the congregation, amounting (as supposed) to 12 or 1300 souls, were thrown into the utmost terror and confusion, by the falling of part of the battlements on the leads, and, in consequence, some stones and mortar in the church. The congregation, by the sudden noise, were immediately apprehensive that the whole of this beautiful building was tumbling. The officiating Minister, after ineffectually attempting to dispel their fears by assuring them there was no danger, left the desk. The son of the organist leapt himself down from the gallery into the body of the church. The women, some fainting, others screaming; men, women and children, endeavouring to get out of the church at the same time, numbers trod under foot, others jumping over the seats, the noise of the feet doors all opening in an instant, increased the confusion of the moment beyond description."
"I am happy to add, that providentially no material accident happened from this alarm, except a servant-man's arm being run through with a soldier's bayonet."

We laid before our readers in a former paper the reports of two sets of Sheriff's, relative to the state of the Gaol of Newgate; that is for two years, ending Sept. 28, 1787, when the present Sheriff's entered on their office.
As a matter rather of curiosity, perhaps, than real utility, we shall now give a list of the several crimes, with a number of persons guilty of each crime, which will form a kind of scale of criminality, showing what crimes are most common and what are less so.

Last Saturday was opened to public view, in the North Cross Aisle, Westminster Abbey, a Monument to the memory of that celebrated man of universal feeling for the distressed, Jonas Hanway, to hand down to posterity his virtues, forcibly expressed in the following Epitaph:—
Sacred to the memory of J O N A S H A N W A Y, Who departed this life Sept. 5th, 1786, aged 74.
But who's Name liveth, and will ever live, Whilist active piety shall dillinguish
The C H R I S T I A N, Integrity and truth shall recommend
The B R I T I S H M E R C H A N T, And universal kindness shall characterize
The C I T I Z E N of the W O R L D.
The helpless INFANT, nurtured through his care, The friendless PROSTITUTE, shelter'd and
reform'd, The hopeless YOUTH, rescued from misery and
ruin, and trained to serve and to defend his country, Uniting in one common strain of gratitude,
Bear testimony to their Benefactor's virtues. THIS was the FRIEND and FATHER of the
POOR. The expence of its erection is defrayed by voluntary subscriptions of his friends, and that Laudable body the Maine Society.
A general Sketch of its Design.—Above the elevation of a pedestal part, containing the inscription, rises a pyramid, at the top of which a lamp, emblematic of perpetual light; underneath a medalion of the deceased, adorned around; immediately under which, a Sarcophagus, supposed to contain his remains, externally decorated at top with his arms and festoons; in the body of it Relievo of Britannia, (her emblems of Government, Peace and War, Trade, Navigation, and a Lion), representing the Society, with benign countenance, distributes clothing to an almost naked boy, who receives them with gratitude; a second boy supplicating for the like bounty, his distresses visible by his imploring countenance; a third made happy, fitted out, and trained for sea, sustaining a ship's rudder, and pointing up to the head of his Benefactor. From behind the pyramid, on the right, towards the top, proportionably to the rest, flies the British flag over a conquered one; on the other side, that of the Society, with its motto, Charity and Policy united; similar to the other.
Extract of a Letter from the Madras Courier, Dec. 12.
"We have intelligence, which we believe may be relied on as authentic, confirming former accounts and opinions, as to the formidable situation and powers of Tippoo. The latest advices say, that his strength considerably weakened by desertion, and that even mutinous murmurs are general throughout his army, from the want of pay. He is affected besides by a severe return of the indispotion under which he suffered some time ago."

Last Thursday the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania made a quorum and proceeded to business.
Extract of a Letter from a gentleman of Lancaster, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated September 1.
"I find in Messrs. Dunlap and Claypoole's paper of Wednesday, August 6, an account of Mr. Laurens, of South-Carolina, having raised 1600 plants of the Sowerby Root; but by him called Huntingdon Root, and by our Germans commonly known by the name of Mangel Wurtzel, or Root. It would appear by the number of publications, respecting this Root, that it is something new in America, and this may be the case in some parts of the country—But among the Germans it has been very common; and particularly in the town and county of Lancaster, this Root has been raised, according to the best information I could get, ever since the Germans have settled here: I imagine it was brought by them from Germany. The leaves are frequently used for greens, and are nearly equal to spinach. It is raised by our poor people, here, who generally keep a cow and have no other pasture than our commons. At morning and evening their cows are fed with the leaves of this plant, which supply them very plentifully. After the leaves are taken off, in rotation, until the whole are gone thro', the first leave again fit to pull. I am of opinion that if seed were wanted, Lancaster county could supply the whole United States."
Western intelligence as late as August 15, informs, that a party of 40 men under the command of Maj. Thos. Stuart, having unguardedly crossed the Tennessee, at the Chota Ford, was, on reaching the further bank, attacked by a large body of Indians, supposed to be between one and two hundred. Our people fired several times, but being overpowered by numbers, they endeavored to retreat back across the river, the Indians by this time had got in their rear, and such as escaped had to ride through a heavy fire, in the river and on the other bank. Our loss is great, upwards of 20 yet missing, and several wounded; among the killed is young Kirk, who was so active against the Indians since the commencement of the present disturbances.
Governor Sevier has regained his influence in a great degree, and has lately put himself at the head of the federalists, and menaces the state of North-Carolina, for putting themselves out of the Union, by rejecting the new Constitution.

THE Committee of Visitation reporting, that from the great number of Persons relieved, the Funds of the Society were totally exhausted.

THE Society for promoting the Manumission of Slaves, and protecting such of them as have been or may be liberated, having solicited charitable donations from the people in this city, for the purpose of establishing a school for the instruction of negro children; think it a duty they owe the public, to give some account of their proceedings in this important business. The Society having agreed upon a number of rules and regulations for the government of the school, appointed twelve of their number Trustees, whose business it should be to engage a master, and visit the school every month, to examine the progress the scholars made in learning, and see that the regulations for the school were duly attended to.
The Trustees procured a master, and the school was opened on the first of November last, with a small number of scholars; it has been gradually increasing from that time, and it now consists of forty-two scholars; several have been dismissed the school, and some bound apprentices to learn useful trades.
The Trustees have visited the school regularly every month, and have found from time to time, that the scholars have made uncommon progress in learning.
Tho' the school was instituted principally for the benefit of the children of free negroes, the Society, at their last meeting, desirous of extending the benefit of it to others, authorised the Trustees to admit those that were slaves, upon condition of their masters paying 10s. per quarter. This stipulation was deemed necessary, as the funds of the Society at present, are not sufficient to maintain the school. Those children, who their masters design to liberate at a future age, are to be admitted without expense.
The Trustees esteem themselves happy in having obtained Mr. Davis for an instructor, as he appears uncommonly well qualified for the arduous undertaking. It may be proper to mention, that by one rule of the Society, it is necessary that two of the Trustees should visit the children, and sign a paper for their admission to the school.
The present Trustees, are Matthew Clarkson, John Bleecker, Thomas Burling, Jacob Seaman, White Matlack, James Cogswell, William Seaman, Nathaniel Lawrence, William Cochran, William Backhouse, Richard Lawrence, John Murray, jun. New-York, August 15.
