Cow Es, Nov. 26.---On the night of the 22d inst.
as the Scotia was laying up Channel, the Julius, of
Granville, from Havre to St. Martin's, came in contact
with her. The crew of the French brig, 17 in number,
finding their vessel in a sinking state, got on board the
Scotia, and were all saved ; but the captain was crushed
between the two vessels. It is supposed the Julius sunk,
from the water rushing in so fast before she was aban-
doned, and her almost immediate disappearance. The
Scotia arrived here last night, with damage.
We have no doubt that an entrance to St. James's
Park from Carlton Place will be found so essential to
Members of Parliament and official people, that it will, in
the end, be conceded to horses and carriages as well as to
foot passengers.
Scarcely a day passes but robberies are committed by
swell pickpockets (as they are termed by the police) who

his pocket picked of a valuable silver snuff-box in the
Court of King's Bench.
We learn from Calcutta, that M. CHRISTENSON has
been appointed Governor of the Danish possessions in
India, and that he has recently arrived at Tranquebar,
and assumed the Government. His Danish Majesty, it
is understood, has expressed his anxiety to see the Danish
trade to India revived, and the new Governor has received
instructions to promote that object by every means in his
power.
Several Meetings have already been held in different

THE RETROSPECT.

0 Oh, that I could again return to the ardes4s, innocent, blessed
simplicity of my early days !" 1411 PATER.

My thought is o're you steep hill.
My thought is o'er the main.
My thought is in that once loved land
I neer may see again.

I think upon the green vale
Where first the light of life
Shone o'er me, and my boyhood
With bliss alone was rife.

1 thiuk upon the mountains
O'er which my footsteps stray'd,
And the cold and crystal fountains
That oft my thirst allayed.

I think upon the wild wood
Through which at dawn I roved—
And every haunt and gravy glade,
And every sport I loved.

I think upon the swift stream
That bounds my early home,
Until its plashing echoes seen
The sound of joys to come.

I think upon the dear smile
Of eyes now dimmed for aye ;
And the fond and fervent sigh of lips
New mouldered in decay.

I think upon the bright cheeks.
Long faded 'mongst the dead :
And the throb of loving hurts on which
The worm bath rioted.

I think—until my thought is
A very pain to me :
I think on all that once bath been,
On al that yet may be.

And I do wish—perhaps the more
For that I wish in vain,
To have—with all its vanished joys—
My childhood back spin!
And in that sweet and pleasant prime,
In life's delicious May.
Pass from the yet untroubled world
In quietness• away!
