About the beginning of this wear. the
schooner Mary, of Montreal Cox, Mas
ter, sailed hence for the Oronoque, with
intent to return TO this port. Having
touched at Barbados, she forthwith
proceeded OH her voyage, and on arri-
val took in cargo Of mules, and then
bore away for Demarery. But having
been baiIied by contrary winds and
strong adverse current, she was forced
TO put into Trinidad, where the cargo
was disposed OF, and a second trip To-
the CronOque determined on. Tn this
turn, she fell 10 leeward, and the Cap
tain bearing up for Trinidad, attempted
a second time to gain the channel which
leads to Augustura, bat was agaiu un-
successful. In these circumstances, the
pilot proposed TO carry him up the pas

made by the unhappy sufferers, and thus
the whole crew. consisting of twenty
persons. were put TO death, with the ex-

Mr. Burnham was particularly unhappy.
AT the beginning of the atrocious trans
action, he received a severe wound from

The reader will be gratitied TO hear of
the return OF Mr.. OGILvIE TO New York,
for couple of weeks, and ofhis intention
otavor us with few of his orations be-
fore his departure.
HE Importance OF oratory, in free
state, none will question ali admire elo-
qIeRce as the greatest of human endow-
ments or attainments. It's therefore ma
tural that men of talents should endeavor
To cultivate " the persuasive art" Mr..
OGILvIE has performed much towards
pr0pagating love for the profession of
oratory and if we do not always coincide
in opinion with him, we must always
applaud his ardour, his genius, his ac-
qurements, his benevolent and liberal
views.
In addition TO the pleasure and in
struction derivabic from the oratons
TO be pronounced by Mr.. OGfLvIE, we
feel much satisfaction in noticing de
batting society about to be established
under tie title of the " Forum" Perhaps
these Roman terms may revive Roman
ideas, and kindle the fires of eloquence.
Whether fame or fortune or usefulness
be the object, it is ClOqucncc that enables
a man 10 attain it. i" 1t laws open the
road to The first hOnors of tile state" IT

His own genius is his protection; a per-

vincible power that shields him from his
enemies" Ifthese assertions were true
ut Rome, they are truths in every place

tongue, and manacled the press, u smo-
