TO THE MOON.

Shine on, shine on, thou beautiful moon!
With an undiminished ray,
As a beacon light, through the ,stormy night
• For the mariner on his way.

Shine on, shi:e on, in thy midnight course,
Thy beams on the waters play;
Dear a whispering prayer, "0, tarry there"
• ' For the mariner on his nay.
Shine on, shine on. thou majestic orb,
Lest gathering clouds betray,
With the light God gave illumine the wave
For the mariner on his way.
Shine on, shine on, till the morning breaks
In the golden light of day,'
As a heavenly guide, over the ocean wide,
For the mariner on his way.
Shine on, shine on, for he lookvon thee
Wherever his bark may stay;
For those afar, who are watching each star,
For the mariner on his nay.
Shine on, shine on, in careering high,
While lonely I trace thy way,
With a heating heart, lest thy light depart
From the 'mariner on his way

THR ARGtMENTUM An HOMINEM.—A lawyer pleadi►ig a
cause against a lady, indulged in a multitude of digressions,
which overcame the passion of the lady, who interrupted him.
" My Lord," said she, ." here is the case in a single word—l
engaged to pay to the opposite party a certain sum, for a piece
of tapestry of Planders, w►th figures as hauds,m►e as your Lord-
ship; lie attempts to palm on me a wretched daub, with figures
as ugly as the counsel opposed to me ; am I not released from
my ba:gain?" This comparison, which flattered the vanity of
the judge, completely disconcerted the opponent, who had no
reply to make, and the lady gai►►ed her cause.

SIR EDWARD CODRINGTON, M.P. AND COLONEL ABERNE-
THY, It-M.—The affair between Sir Edward Codringtou and
the Commandant of,the Marine corps in this garrison, has ex-
cited a considerable sensation, as it involves the authority of
military officers over their men, while acting in their civil capa-
city. The gallant Admiral has expressed more than once his
determination to bring the case before the House of Commons,
as one affecting the freedom of election. It is well known that
on the approach of a contested election, the troops are by law
compelled to retire at least two miles from the hustings. All
soldiers who are electors, can demand leave of absence to go to
the poll, but they appear at elections as civilians.—Some of the
Marine band, who were electors, and supporters of. Sir Edward
Codrington, wished to play their instruments in his processions,
but an order was issued from. the Marine barracks forbidding
the men to play for either party at the election. This the gal-
lant Admiral considered an infringement upon the liberty cf the
subject; and in his speech at the l'own Hall he gave vent to
his feelings in warm language, applying an expression to
Colonel Abernethy which gave great offence to that gallant
officer. A correspondence ensued—and subsequently Colonel
Abernethy mote an account of the correspondence to the Admi-
ralty, demanding an inquiry; and we understand a reply has
been received from their lordships, expressing their approba-
tion of hi 3 conduct throughout.—Corriubian.
Ma. FITZJAMES, R.N., OF THE EUPHRATES EXPEDITION.—
On Sunday afternoon this gallant ‘oung officer performed suc-
cessfully, at the imminent risk of his life, a most herMc act, of
which, including ourselves, there were many witnesses. The
barque George Canning, having on board the Euphrates expe-
dition, lay at anchor in the river opposite Birkenhead, and as.it
wus expected she might get outto sea next tide,.a steamer went
to her with the last of the stores. While these were being
transhipped a tidewaiter of the name of James Dickenson, who
could not swim, iu passin, from one vessel to the other fell into
the river. At this time it blew a gale of wind, and there was a
high sea in the Mersey, and greatly were we surprised when
Mi. Fitzjames, in hoots, coat, hat, Szc., instantly sprang from'
the George Canning 6t- er the drowning man. -He succeeded
in reaching him ere li tag - and in supporting him by the hair
while he floated on his oack. They had drifted down a con-
sidetabie way before the steamer overtook them, but at length
they were rescued from their. perilous situation and brought
back to the George Canning, where Mr. Fitzjames received the
congrattilations of his brother officers and their friends who
had gone on board to take leave. On inquiring we found that
Mr. Fitzjames served lately on board of his Majesty's ship
Winchester.
