TIE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH.

WHERE the deep rolling waters Of Jordan were
flowing,
Rejecting the azure ofheav'n in its food;
On its borders, with verdure luxuriantly glowing,
The prophets, Jehovahs blest delegates, stood.
Elijah, the fair land Of promise beholding,
The mantle of light on his shoulders unfurpd,
And sweeping around him the glorious folding,
Afar DER the refuent pillows it curl'd.
The waters with majesty, murn'ring, retreating,
The silent omnipotent mandate confessed:
The green shores of Canaan smil'd at their greet
ing,
And the wild blossom sprung on the earth that
they pressed.
But where and from whence did the whirIwind
come rushing?
lthowld-but the foliage with gentlenesa
wav'd
It roar like the terrible cataract's gushing
But the current moy'd calm DER the bed that
itlav'd.
They LOOKED up on high lin the blue vault re-
splendent
No cloud ofthe tempest yet darlzen'd its rays /;
But a radient track of efulgence transcendent
Extinguish'd the light the sun in its blaze.
Rapid, the bright beaming glory extended; Tfar,
The thunder resounded, the lightning stream'6
Ger Elijah the heavenly vision descended, III
Who rose, on the chernbim's wings, to the car.
" My father my father the chariot of glory ~
elisha exclaim'd) " and the hosemen of fire !!
o. let thy hlest spirit departing rest Ger me,
Remember thy son, O my father; my sire ~
The prophet ascending look'd back with emotion,
His meek eye oflove on the votary cast;
One feeling of earth checked his rapturous devo-
ton,
But onward the burning wheels roll'd-and it
pass'd!
Ger the glittering pomp heavens curtains were
closing,
But the mantle of prophecy foated behind
It's wide-spreading folds DER Elisha reposing,
The light Of the future illumin'd his mind.

five may Judge from the extraordinary
unanimity with which the bill for the counter
vaiIing the British Colonial system has passed
to third reading in the Senate, there is but
little doubt that it will become law. This
bill proposes change in oul system q navi-
CATION, which without being liable to the OBJ
jections which apply to general systems OF res
friction, promises material advantages to that
important interest which at present languish-
es under the disadvantages with which II en-
counters the British restrictions on an exten-
siye branch Of our trade. The plaster law, as
il is generally called, has produced an effect
which, it is with reason hoped, may as spec
Oily attend this other defensive measure.

RESURRECTION AT THE STATE PRISON.
On the 18th inst. about in the after
noon, another desperate attempt was made
by the convicts in the New-Jersey State
Prison, near Trenton, to effect general
Jail delivery.
The plot developed as the grated door
leading to the keepers apartments, was o.
pened by young man, the keepers son.
One Of the most athletic and powerful men
among the prisoners, who was standing
near, sprang upon the door and held it open.
An assistant keeper, who came up, exerted
himself in vain to shut the door, several Of
the prisoners in the plot, soon advancing,
and pressing upon him. The young man
Immediately retreated to the counting room
of the institution, where are kept the arms

by the principal assailant, but succeeded in

many thousand little tubes or suckers pla-

Every considerable supplies Of Indian
corn from the Mediterranean and your
ports having arrived suddenly, we regret
to say our prices have declined materially,
and very likely the - will proceed to
Porto without delay, where the market, al
though likewise overstocked, still seems to
afford better prospects than ours.
"Several forced sales of corn have been
effected here, and to-day we understand a
cargo of inferior Italian has been sold at the
very low price of $50 Rs. per alquier on
board. 1t is impossible to quote prices with
exactness at the present moment, as they
are nearly nominal. We should think $50

tain for the best round yellow.
