THE FUNERAL.


How solemn is the scene, when friends draw near,
To pay departed worth the Funeral tear
How precious sre the sacred 'ears that rise,
And How successive from the mourner's eyes,
How solemn is the sight--(tis SO TO mc)-
Extended in the " MARROW House." TO see
Abe pale precursor of QUA certain doom,
silent yoiary for the horrid Tomb
No language can describe. no tongue can tell,
The hearts keen anguish at the asi farewell, |,
When the lid closes on the faded face,
Where late sereneIy smiled each softer grace.
Placed on the sable hearse, the mournfui throng,
In sad procession slowly move along
Bowed down with sorrow to the grave repair,
And leave their fellow friend TO moulder there.
The home return--Oh! what blank appears
The he art then gives the few remaining tears
How gloomy all, were late so swcetly smrd,
The lovely friend, that every care beguiFd'
Those who have lost what worlds cannot supply,
Can give the sympathetic tear and sigh
Tho Friendship can soothing balm impart'
IT'S Heaven atone can heal the mourner's heart

We extract the following summary from
file Of the Jamaica Courant, from the / 9th
of February to the 10th March, received at
the Reading Room -
A letter from Curacao of Sd Feb. details
some military operations OH the Main, in
which the Patriots we're successful. The
island of Margarita is well fortified and
supplied, and is the principal depot of arms
and ammunition: the Governors guard
consists of 1000 dragoons.-The Danish
authorities at St. Thomas's have agreed TO
admit into their ports, independent vessels
of war, and their prizes, with permission to
dispose Of the latter.
The United States ship John Adams,
capt. Wadsworth, in Is days from New
York, put into Port Royal on the 10th Feb.
for supplies, and sailed on the 2lst for La
Vera Cruz.
A letter from Margarita, dated Feb. IA,
announces tina! the National Congress of
Venezuela had been installed: troops con-
tinually arriving from England; a loan of
flOO 900 had been obtained in London in
aid of the Patriot cause.-Gen. M'Gregor
was at Aux Cages on the LIST March prePa-
ring to sail with an expedition consisting
of armed ships and briggs and 500 troops
against Porto Bello. II was reported that
Col. English had arrived at Angostura
with troops in 10 transports. The whole
force when arrived, would be about 1000
men.
A large ship, having General Jackson"
painted on her stern, with cargo Of Bra
I'll sugar, elephants teeth and hides, was
lately run into bay in the Danish island
of St. John's-the cargo was purchased by
persons from St. Thomas's whittier it was
transported. 1t was believed that the ship
was American, that she was last from the
Brazils, and that the Captain had been
murdered by the crew ; it was also repor-
ted that she was prize to one Of Artigss's
privateers.
Admiral Harvey having retired from his
command on the Barbados station, has been

The Portuguese schnr. Phario, Captain
Montere, AZ days from Pernambuco, bound
to Philadelphia, with cargo Of hides, su-
CARS and molasses, was cast away on
wreck near Smiths Island, on the night of
the Sd inst. captain and crew saved-the
latter crossed overland to Northampton
Courthouse, Eastern shore Of Va.) whence
they took passage in one Of the packets
and arrived here last night. They state
that the sugars have principally been lest,
but the hides and molasses nearly all sa-
we'd. The vessels spars, together with
the standing and running rigging had
nearly all been got ashore, and that cap.
M. remained there 10 attend the sale of
those articles. The vessel they say, will
probably never be got off again.

terms. This produced message from the
Governor, denouncing the resolution, as in
terfering with the Executive authority, as
sorting that the duty was not of the nature
OF a direct tar and expressing his expec-
tation that the Resolution would he rescin-
ded. On the esd March, the Assembly
took the message into consideration when
a motion was made to expunge the resola-
ton from the journals Of the House-which
was decided as follows -
YEAS-Messrs. Humbert, Miles, Will
mot, and Alien
| NAYS-Messrs. Easterbrooks, Pagan,
Porter, Smith, Chapman, Johnston, Ward,
Peters, Calverley, Scovil, Agrew, Wet
more, Britain, Yeamans, M'Kay, Camp
bell, Sinonds, Dow, and Fraser-l9.
So the motion did not prevail and the
resolution was sustained. Immediately at.
ter this decision. the Governor DISSOLVED the
assembly! This is considered as an ''appsal
TO lhe people, who will probably return
the same members, and thus fix the Legis-
lative and Executive authorities in perlna-
nent hostility. The effect will be, that the
Assembly will deny the usual supplies and
the Governor can only help himself by
redissolution, or by repeating the timber
duty. The revolution in the United States
originated in three penny duty on tea
Many of those who voted in the negative "a
above, are defendants OF the Americans
who emigrated in 1888; who appear to
have inherited a portion OF the Old Wing
spirit of their ancestors, whatever may have
been the tory notions Of their fathers.

A contest of some interest has arisen be-
tween Gov. Smyth, and the House OF As
sembly of the British province of New
Brunswick. Itappears, that the Governor
directed that duty Of one shilling should
be paid on every ton of ship timber expor-
ted; the object of which was declared to
be to prevent the waste and destruction of
the Kings woods. The House Of assembly
considered this as an infringement on their
prerogative to institute taxes. and passed a
resolution reprobating the measure in strong

occasional heavy showers, which continued
with little intermission or variation ofwind,
until little after g P. M. on Saturday; al
which time the wind suddenly shifted to
the northward, bringing with it clouds Of al
most nocturnal darkness, obliging many to
light candles for their dinner table. This
was forerunner of the awful thunder gust
and torrent of rain and hail which soon sue
