MUTUAL HEARTS.
Two mutual heart; are like the
. In solitude when single,
That weeder from the moorland bills
in river streams to mingle;
And then, aloes the fertile vale,
Their banks with blossoms painted,
They heave their billows to the pie,
Untroubled and untablted !
Two mutual hearts are like the stars
That aid each others' &hieing,
When gates of day the evening bars,
And roses are declining ;
And•through the long and lonesome night
That spreads its pall of sadness,
They mingle their ethereal light,
To All the world with gladness !
Two mutual hearts are like the flowers
That twine themselves tcriber,
When morning sends the drenching showers,
Or evening comes to wither;
And though they fall--as fall they must—
They will net, cannot sever,
But sink together to the dust,
Together lie for ever !

PORTsMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 21.

The Dock and Bisin are both drained, and we re-
joice to say no more bodies have been found; therefore
the full extent of this lamentable affair is now aster•
tained. A few slices and two umbrellas belonging to
those whoie bodies were picked up, were the only rem-
nants of this sad catastrophe at the bottom of the dock
and basin.

Among the trifling articles found at the bottom of,
the dock was poor Deering's cap. The remains of that
unfortunge young man have been interred in Alver-
stoke Chtirch-yard. His funeral was conducted with
military honours, and attended by the whole of his fel-
low officers and ship's crew.
AU hands arc now actively at work upon the Hiber-
nia (three decker), Rgremont (74) and Ajax, also a 74
gur. ship, in order to get them finished and out of their
docks. Until this is accomplished nothing-can
be done towards replacing the gates, or rather putting
up .new ones...
The public mind here bas become more composed
since what may be termed the closing scene of this
even•ful catastrophe has been witnessed. Our minds
are no longer agitated by the alternations of hope and
fear. The sum of human sacrifice seems now to have
beeeascertained,, and no fresh view of the frightful
e4laitity is likely to arise to arrest the imagination upon
so painful a subject.

Accounts from Jamaica to the 26th July, state, that
on the 13:h of that mood], in the upper part of Liguania,
there was a considerable deal of thunder and lightning,
accompanied with heavy rain ; several slaves on White-
hall e,tate, in runninz for shelter into a hut, against the
door of which had been placed a pole, with a bryonet
fixed to the end of it, were struck with the electric fluid,
one man was killed, another man, a woman, and a child,
were severely wounded.
The Apostolical Vicar of Chili has made important
reductions in the religious festivals hitherto observed in
that country, on account of their great number, and
for the purpose of securing to the remaining ones a bet-
ter observance. This is done by the authority delegated
by Pope. Leo XII. The days of rigid and solemn
observances are re laced to eleven, besides the Sabbaths ;
and the festivals of the patron Saints of towns and vil-
lages, &c. are transferred to the Sabbaths following.
The total amount of Custom Duties received at Sun.
desland in the year, ending the sth of January la,t, was
little more than 24,0004 and from that date up to the
present period, being little more than eight months,
the same description of duties received at that port
exceed 43 0001.

Some idea may be entertained of the magnitude of
brewing concerns in the Metropolis, from the circum-
stance of one house alone possessing 60 drays and nearly
200 horses.
'Shiite labourers digging near the city of Ropersberg,
in Dalecarlia, lately found an iron coffin of immense
propertions, in which was the skeleton of a man, who,
when living, must have been eleven feet in height;
' Although there is now a daily conveyance to and
frem..Glasgow, yet such is the great intercourse, that
on• Wednesday se'nnight the George Canning steam-
packet landed upwards of 160 passengers at Belfast,
among whom was the Earl of RossMonr.
There was an Act passe(' in the reign of Elizabeth,
which made it felony, without benefit of the Clergy, to
associate with Gipsies, or Egyptians, for one month.
The Greek sailors still preserve the custom men-
tioned by HOMER, of hauling their vessels on shore,
with the prows resting on the beach : having done this,'
they place the Mast lengthwise across the prow and the
poop, and spread the sail over it, so as to form a tent;
ben• ath these tents they sing their songs, drinking wine
freely, and accompanying their voices with the lire, or
three-stringed viol.
A systrm of fr old has long existed amongst the
" Cads" to the Richmond, Putney, Hammersmith, and
Kensingt,n c aches, that are allowed to ply at the
White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly. These fellows having
gut two or three passengers on their coach, mount the
box in the character of coachman, and make a feint of
starting by driving as far as Devonshire House, where'
they pull up, and should there be a young female on the
coach, or any other apparently inexperienced person,
they demand the fare. At this moment the real coach-
man makes his appearance, the Cad with great alacrity
dismounts, and the coachman drives off. On the arrival
of the coach at its destination, the fares are regularly
demanded ; and notwithstanding these persons urge
their having paid the'man who drove the coach at first,
yet the coachman insists on being paid, saying he
knows nothing about it; and thus the unwary are
robbed alnioit without the means of redress. A case
of this kind occurred on Saturday night last.
Lomb Noasun Y.-A man having been capitally con.
victed befo.e his Lordship, was, as usual, asked what
he had to say why judgment of death should not pass
against him ? " Say!" replied he, " why, I think the
joke has be. n carried far enough already, and the less
that is said about it the better; so if you please, my
Lord, Well drop the subject." " The subject may drop,"
replied his Lordship.
The Irish copper money is so much depreciated, that
the beggars in this neighbourhood decline receiving
alum in that currency. "We dinna tak harps, Sir,'
said an old blue gown the other day, respectfully re-
ceding from the proffered ghatit7 of a passing stranger.
