ST. LOUIS, JUNE 5.

A keel-boat was lost on the Missouri,
with property on board worth $4,000,
belonging to General Ashley, a few days
since. She sunk suddenly, after striking
snag, and it was with difficulty that the
hands were saved. The boat was
freighted for the hunting expedition to
the Rocky Mountains.

Progress Of Manufacturers are
every day made in the road to complete indie.
pendence. Many of the embarassments at
tending our manufactures have arisen from
imperfect machinery. 1t is almost entirely to
the superiority of machinery that Great-Brit-
ain owes the superiority Of her manufactures.
The inequality, in that respect, between that
country and our own, is, however, fast disap-
pearing.
Among the Improvements making in the
machinery already employed in our msnufac-
lures, we have recently learned one which, in
many respects, is important. Mr.. Wslsiam
Honey Of this town, one of our most enterpris-
ing and perseverng mechanicks, is now con-
structing carding machines entirely Of iron.
The cylinders, whic1 it might be supposed
are the most difficult parts to be so construct
ed, are cast in four parallel pieces, in such a
manner as to combine great strength with
little weight, and SO cont-ived as to present
no obstacle TO fixing on the cards as easily and
as securely as can be done upon cylinders of
wood. Mr.. Hovey also now makes the frames
Of his shearing machines of cast-ircn, which are
but little if any heavier than those formed Of
wood. The strength and durability of ma
chimes SO made must greatly exceed those
constructed in the usual manner; while the
expense, after the manufacture of them shall
have become well established, cannot be much,
if any, greater than that ofordinary machiues.
We wish him, much success in his enterprise,

When the world in throngs shall press
To the battles glorious van,
When the oppressed shall seek redress
And shall claim the rights ofman---
Then shall freedom smile again,
On the earth and on the main.
When the tide of war shall roll
Like imperious oceans surge,
From the tropic TO the pole
And to earth's remotes verge
Then shall valor dash the gem
From each tyrant's diadem.
When the banner is unf'irled
Like silver cloud in air,
And the champions of the world
In their might assemble there
Man shall rend his iron chain
And redeem his rights again.
Then the thunderbolts shall fall
In their fury on each throne,
Where the despot holds i'll thrall
Spirits nobler than his own
And the cry of all shall be,
Battles shroud or liberty!
Then the trump shall echo loud
Stirring nations from afar,
II the daring line to crowd,
And to rear the blade of war
While the tide Of life shall rain
And encrimson every plain.
Then the Saracen shall flee
From the city of the Lord
Then the light of victory
Shall illume Judea's sword
And new liberty shall shine
On the plains Of Palestine.
Then the Turk shall madly view
How his crescent wakes dim,
Like the waning moon, whose hue
Fades away on oceans brim--
Then the cross of Christ shall stand
On that consecrated land.
Yea--the light of freedom smiles
On the Grecisn phalanX now
Breaks upon Jonas isles,
And OH Ida's lofty brow
And the shouts of battle swell
Where the Spartan lion fell!
Where the Spartan lion fell!
Proud and dauntIess in the strife
How triumphant was his knell
How sublime his close of lite
Glory shone upon his eye,
Glory which can never die!
soon shall earn awake IN m6hts
Retribution shall arise
And all regions shall unite
To obtain the glorious prize
And oppression's iron crown
10 the dust be trodden down.
When the Almighty shall deform
Heaven in the hour Of wrath
When the angel of the storm
Sweeps in fury on his path
Then shall tyranny be hurled
From the bosom Of the world.
Yet, oh freedom, yet awhile,
All mankind shall own thy sway
And the eye of God shall smile
On thy brightly dawning day
And all nations shall adore
At thine altar, evermore.
