CHRISTMAS MORN.
BY TUE REV. G. CROWS'.
This the Morn of victory
When the Victor came to die.
The world was dark, its guilty gaze
Saw not o'er Heaven its splendours blaze
That told the shepherds He was horn ;
It heard not on that breaking Morn
The Angel harps, the glorious hymn,
From burning lips of Cherubim.
That Morn the Roman Coma sate,
Unconscious that a Potentate
Was come, to whom his laurelled brow
Must stoop—the mighty man of woe.
The Pontiff at his altar stood,
Unconscious that a nobler blood
Than ever streamed, that hour was given
Pure from the summit throne of Heaven.
That kingly victim carne, not robed
In gold, with trooping spears englobed ;
Flamed on his brow no royal gem,
He came—the babe of Bethlehem !
He was all power; the tempest sky
Might have come down, his canopy ;
The rushing of his chariot wheels,
Told by the thunders herald's peals :
The flashes of his midnight lightning,
The Earth through all her chambers bright'ning;
Till mankind, startled from their slumber,
Saw come the numbers without number,
Rank upon rank, from Heaven's high steep,
The Seraph legion's gorgeous sweep;
Still more and more the pomp revealing.
The golden trumpet louder pealing,
Till In their centre blazed the throne
On which lie sate—tbs./1W great One.
There was no pomp—for on this Morn
A Man of sacrifice was born
He enme to be a stranger here,
E'en in his tribe; a wanderer,
He came to pray, to weep, to die,
Anti wit for man the victory.

BALTIC SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The following are extracts of letters received
yesterday :

•
ST. PETERSlltrnait, DEC. 3—Since the 30th ult. I have
received no official report from' Cronstadt, but I learn that on
Monday evening a vessel was in sight coining up, supposed to
be English, but owing to the fog she-could not be distinctly
made out.
For the last three days we have had warm weather, with
strong gales from the west, and rain, so. that it is probable the
communication between Crowed, and Oranienbatim was
yesterday cut off, Here the ice continues firm, bet crossing it
is =soldered hazardous on account of the continued thaw.
The last messenger from Cronstad represented the passage
across the ice to Oranienbaurn to be exceedingly dangerous ;
and indeed it is so bad here, as to occasion the police to prevent
any persona attempting to walk over it.
th—From Cronstadt only one report has been reteived,
dated the 2d instant, and which stated • that the heavy gale of
wind of the preceding nht had brought up .a quantity-of float-
ing ice, which extended three or tour versts. A brig and a
galliot were at anchor a little sbelow it, was supposed,
found the ice too strong to attempt a patio:lgo. Neither of the
vessels shewed their colours.
Since I had last the honour of addressing you, the wind has
continued fresh from the westward, until yesterday afternoon,
when it came round, and blow moderately from the east with
sleet and snow.
During the last night there was a slight frost, which still con.
tinucs, with the wind about .
