indicted for an attempt to deiile the
person of Eliza Harris, child only

Mans fate in thine see:--~
Awhile, like thee, the hero burns,
And smokes and fumes around,
And then, like thee, to ashes turns,
And mingles with the ground
Thou'rt like the man of worth, who gives

The fragrance of whose virtues lives
When he has pass'd away.

And breaks and fails away,

THea tumbled TO decay ss.
From beggar's frieze TO Eaonarch's robes

Sweetnasare's works, the mighty globe,
Must all burn out at last!
And what is he who smokes;thee move
A little moving heap,
That soon, like thee, to fate must beT,
Like thee IN dust must sleep!
And when see thy smoke roll high,
Thy ashes downward SO,

Thus leave my body low!

LATE FROM GIBRALTAR.

Gibraltar papers have been received
by Mr.. Topliif to the 9Th ult. The most
important article in them is that OF the
captureo OF Ali Pacha by the Turks, which
comes in a shape which seems entitled 10
credit. The Malta Gazette Of Feb. IL,
contains extracts from two letters receiv-
cd at Corfu from Prussia. The first dated
Feb. l, announces that all the outworas
and forts of JOANNA were taken by the
besieging army, aud that Ali had placed
himself In a small we'll secured Case
mate, with two Of his women and few
followers, on some barrels of powder
with lis treasures, ready to destroy HIM
self in any dangerous emergency. lle
Lad demanded to be sent to Constantine
pie, and declared that he had two most
important communications to make to
the Sultan. The other dated Feb. s.,
announces that Ali was prisoner 10
Hurshid Pacha. He was seized or FRI

Chief in his own service, who had made
an agreement with the Turkish COM
mander, and delivered 10 the Turk ish

GOVERNOR CT NETWORK.

suing election in Newly he says,
in his letter to the committee appointed
10 ascertain his intentions, that he had
long since determined to retire from
the executive chair on the conclusion OF
his present term, from full persuasion
that practical recognition Of the doc
irine OF c6ieiai rotation, is OF more i'm
portance TO the purity of republican 60
vernments than any benefits which can
arise fromhis continuance in Office.

absted their outrageous proceedings.
"This diminution of crime" says the
Courier, /" is owing not to any abate-

summary operation of the insurrection
act. Aware that their apprehension Is
inevitable, if found abroad after GER

bush in the mountains, and only detach
strong armed parties during the night,
to provide subsistence. Notwithstand-
ing the rumors Of war and oil revolutions
and ofinsurrectionary movements, stocks
at Paris and in London appear to hold
their ground. This at least, is no proof
Of alarm on the part of the respective

AgricuharQi meetiag.-pursuant to a
notice i'll this paper, signed by G number
Of gentlemen, public meeting was held
on Monday last at Massie's Mansion
House, for the purpose of organising an
Agricunara1 3ociety. The business Of
the day was opencd by William c. Carr,
Esq. in speech presenting to the meet
ing the views and objects OF the contem'
plated society, accompanied by some
forCible remarks on the necessity and po-
Icy OF an association of this description.

a constitution fer the society was then sp.
pointed, composed Of the following gen.
llemcn: William {. Carr, Esq. CHAIR

ton, and Col. S.rother-the latter gentle
man, particularly, took an enlarged view
Of the theory and practice of these insli-
lutions, cited many cases of their benes
fetal operation, and concluded By ex-
pressing hope that the Missouri .Agri-

utility TO this country, and that the n1em-
bers of ii would act with the liberali,y Of
men and citizens, DESTROYS of extending
the benefit Of their labors to every in-

not indeed make so much noise ; nor is encompass.
ed with that splendor which is commonly called
glory We have here no triumphs OF the military
Heroi there are no slaughtered thousands at our

broken hearts, mngle their lamentations with this
days exaltation; no orphans swell the blood of the
dead with the tears THE living, uplifting their help.

avenge their wrongs. 1t is the triumph of peace,
Of the love Of peace, Of the children Of peace not
note Of grief breaks on the Joyous ear not sim
gle sigh disturbs this festive day.
Yet there is something majestic, beyond the pomps
OF martial grandeur; something which the imper-
leCtions of the soldier cannot tarnsh; something
which even political rivaships cannot embilter and
which will cause the transactions of this day to be
held in grateful remembrance when we are gather
ed unto our fathers. 1t is this.--The Representa-

sembling in their new mansion, in the name of the
God OF Heaven and of Earth, to make provision for
the happiness OF the generation which lives, and Of
generations which shall live hereafter.

Permit noe, venerable hearers, TO remind you Of

God in whose name and under whose eye you meet,
is the God of righteousness; and that to this God

fhe following beautiful hymn, written by the Rev
Mr. Pierpont, was sung at the ordination of tn
Rev. Mr.. Ware, at New Yo:k.
o Thou, who art above all height!
Our God, our Father, and our Friend
Beneath thy throne Of love and light,
Let thine adoring children bend.
We kneel in praise,--that here is set
vine that by thy culture grew;
We kneel in prayer, that thou would'st wet
Its opening leaves with heavenly dew.
Since thy young servant now hath given
Himself, his powers, his hopes, his youth,
To the great cause Of truth and heaven;
Be thou his guide, o God of truth;
Here may his doctrine drop like rain,
His speech like Hermon's dew dstil,
Till green fields smile, and golden grain,
Ripe from the harvest, wait thy will
And when he sinks in death; by care,
Or pain, or toll, or years opprest;
OGod remember then our prayer,
And take his spirit to thy rest.
