High life belouO stairs, sritk yeageance
Wesley Tapsico, young coloured
man, native of this city, was lately
killed in duel at Port-au-Prince, by a
mulatto named Kelly. Wesley was the
son of Jacob Tapsico. very decent
and religious coloured man, we'll known
in Philadelphia, and who resided for a
long time servant in one of our most
respectable families. The boy was once
domestick 10 very respectable fam
lily, where he wanted for neither sound
respect nor good example, He receiv-
ed an education superiour to that com
monty obtained by persons of colour,
and mad a prospect of rising 10 wealth
at Port-au-Prince; but he must take
upon him, prematurely, to act the gen
tleman and the fool, and he died conse-
quently ''as fool dieth."
Kelly eluded the summary Justice
which the government of Hayti would
probably have inflicted on him, by time
ly concealment on board hulk, whence,
it is rumoured, he escaped to Baltimore.
From the Pittsburgh Statesmaa.l
There is now lying at the mouth of
Wayne-street, in this city, shaIlop rig
ged keel-boat, thirty-five feet long,
with several families on board, who en-
barked in this boat at the mouth of
Wood Creek, head of the Oneida Lake,
in the state of New-York. The course
pursued to reach Pittsburgh, was by
passing down the Oneida Lake, and
through Oswego river into Lake Onta-
rio, thence up the Niagara to within
five miles of the Falls. The vessel was
then carried round the Falls on wheels,
and placed in the river two miles above
the Fails: she then pursued her course
to Portland on Lake Erie, and was
again here placed ON wheels, and carri-
ed seven miles along good road 10 the
Chataqua Lake. She passed through
Chataqua Lake and creek into Conow-
ango creek; entered the Allegheny riv-
er at Warren, Erie county, Pennsylvania,
aud arrived safe at Pittsburgh. Facts
like these are worth preserving, and
diffusion may be of ultimate utility. 1t
is also practical evidence that water
communication between Pittsburgh and

BLACK SEA.

During the contest between Turkey and
Russia, the commerce of the Black Sea must of
necessity be suspended. The grain which is
exported from Odessa in tranquil times, will be
required for th, support of those vast armies
which must occupy Bessarabia and Romania, in
pushing their hostile operations against the Sub.
lime Porte. While the Russians. Turks and
Greeks are at way, while the Austrans are
raising corps of observation, and the Poles
hocixing TO the Russian standard, the agriculture
OF Greece, and the supplies of the Danube, the
Dneiper and Dneister, will all be retained in
the ports of the Black Sea, and strong block
aiding Russian squadron will be stationed at the
mou tn of the Bosphorus.-1here are about 1900
sail OF vessels, which annually arrive from the
Black Sea with grain, for the different ports OF
Italy, France and Spain. Those resources be.

must give employment to our shipping, and find

THE DEAF AND DUMB.

leave 1t without an adieu--to suffer and to be
unable TO communicate your snfering-to stand
sad and silent monument amid the joys of 9TH
ers, which you cannot understand nor conceive
Otto be shut ont of life--to carry within YOUR
bosom the buried seeds of happiness which is
never to grow, of intellect which is never to
burst forth, of usefulness which is never to ger
minate-to find even your presence affective,
and not to know whether you excite compassion
or horror-a whole existence without one cheer
ing sound-without one welcome accent-with-
out one eXhllratlng thought-without one idea
OF the present-without one recollection of the
pasi-without one hope of the future. Oh /.
what cloud of wretchedness covers, surrounds
and overwhelms such deplorable victim of
sorrow
Now to throw over such a benighted being,
the sweet rays of intelhgence-to open the in
telect, and let it gush forth In streams of light
and Ioy-to rouse the affections that they NAV
know and love God, the giver of all things, mer-
clfui even In bis cbastsements-to enlighten the
soul that may see its origin and its destiny-to
cause the lips to smile altho' they cannot speak,
the eye to glisten with other emotions than those
OF sorrow-and the mind to understand. altho'
1t cannot hear. Oh what a beautiful supple
ment TO the benevolence of Heaven,
