Demerna.-The Portsmouth Journal
states, on the authority of two letters
from Demerara, that two white mission
aries had been brought in prisoners ac-
cused of having excited the late revolt
among the negroes Our former ac-
count implicated only one preacher in
this charge.
Sickness in Oaio.-A letter fromBain-
bridge, Ohio, states that the physicians
OF that place report 455 cases of sick
ness, within seven miles of the town.
The West Union paper says, however,
that since the sudden change of wealth
err experienced for several days, the
causes of alarm have measureably
ceased to exist; and the sickness isfast
abating.

Curious TriaI.-It appears By the
Boston papers, that the, U. s. Circuit
Court Judges Story and Davis, now
sitting there, had been occupied for two
days, in trying an action of SANDER
brought by G. s. White, an Episcopal
Clergyman, against George Brinley,
for Misunderstanding, it is alleged
charged the said White with having
challenged him to fight duel; charge
of manifest detriment to his professional
character. The defence set up is said
to be a justification, by establishingthe
truth OF the facts.

The following paragraph is taken from review Of
Bernard Barion's Poems in the Christian Obser-
yer for May last
The great and presiding quality which chiefly re-
commends Mr.. Barton to our mind is this, that he
is christian poet his readers We have already
intlmaed, are in no danger rem him whatever be the
subject of his verse. There are men, to read whose
works is to sit under the shadow Of the tabled Upas
tree, and inhae deadly poison but Mr.. Barton is
one OF those, whose verses, like the leaves of thr
Apocalyptic plant, distil a healing BALM Nor
does he stand alone, even in these degenerate days
Iif so we must call them To say nothing of Mr..
Southey and many other living bards, whom
have often introduced to our readers, we may in
stance with muck pleasure the more recent pro-
ductions OF the present academlcal poet OF Oxford,
whose Fall of Jerusalem and Martyr of Antioch and,
| in considerable degree, HE Beshazzar, prove to
be capable Of uniting and finishing beauties Of the
most exquisite, classical poetry, with sentiments
which make the heart of the Christian burn within
him as he passes along the pilgrimage of life. We
are prepared to introduce these poems to cur read
ers at some length, and therefore shall say nothing
more of them their author present, except that
GLORIOUS indeed is the literary rcnown, enjoyed by
those who pass not to their laureled fame the
uprooted principles, the detected hopes, the man
lgled morals, or the agoniZng fears OF those whom
their RIGHTEOUSNESS their inldelity have ruined.
Poets of this better order, in which include, the
auhor Of the poems under review, spurn at the idea
that the arts possess prescrpuVe apology Tor all
that is indecent, unholy, and proiane. They view
them in a light and exercise them in manner for
which the thanks of thousands shall be their due.

Far from the busy haunts Of men,

! come again
Oh! have felt Affliclion's wave,
And with her pillows mounted high,
Since last knelt me on thy grave,
And heay'd sigh

When shall my wandering spirit flee
Or in this grave, or in the skies,
Find rest and thee?
The meekness of thy mind need
To meet the worlds rebuke and scorn.

Why was born?
Even now hear thy warning voice,
That oft has wrung my infant ear
Oh if thy Child can have his choice,

Thy gentle accents TO my heart
Shall solace soft, and vigour give,
To suffer well aflliction's smart,
While yet live
Yes-snd Religions holy form
Well known aud we'll BELOVED by thee,
Should more my wavering heart conform
To Heav'n's decree!
Peace that the world can never give,
The world can never take away
Should be my portion, could live

And soon the scene shall roll away,
And soon all Earth born cares shall cease,
And l with thee in silent clay
Shall rest in peace
But not for erer shall the grave
Triumphant boast his power and might,
For God shall call US thence TO live

they have formerly done in France
They raise rebellion as 4 kind Of pre-

was made by his Majesty Of transac-

This disagreeable news in fact, was the
intelligence Of serious instruction,

had broken out in the province Of Mimic.
We call itserious instruction. because
in spite Of the efforts made to represent

"A dispatch has just been received at

The Condo dAmarate, after having

a hint to Borrowers Of Newspapers.
The practice OF borrowing newspapers says the
Baltimore Federal Gazette, so very annoying to SUBJ
scribers and of course 10 printers has lately ncreas-
ed to such degree to be productive of serious
INJURY, and to require that some efficient means
should be used, il practicable, to put stop to it,
Several recent instances have occurred Zone yester
day. OF subscribers to this Gazette ordering their
papers to be stopped, for the sole purpose Of being
relieved from the daily annoyance OF borrowers who
are more curious than liberal.
To those persons who have so little regard for
propriety as TO continue the practice after hi. no.
uce OF the injury which it causes, we shall not feel
ourselves bound to preserve any orbearahce and we
suggest II TO our brethren Of the type. as proper
rule Of proceeding in which we should all unite-lo
procure and publish list OF borrowers of newspa-
pers' who never contribute any thing to the support
of the publishers"
The Albany Microscope says, We have large
list o., rery profitable BORROWERS, respectable in
point OF numbers. if not otherwise" Many other
papers have made honol able mention. of this com
mendable and economical mode OF cheap reading.
We also have just cause OF complaint on this sub

On yonder is the wellknown spot,
Ny dear, my long lost native home
Oh welcome is yon little cot,
Where | shall rest, no more to roami
Oh have travelled far and wide,
O'er many distant foreign land;
Each place, each province have lried,
And sung and danced my saraband
But all their charms could not prevail.
To steal my heart from yonder vale,
OF distant chimes, the false report,
It lured me from my native land
1t babe me rove my sole support
My symbals and my saraband.
The woody dell, the hanging rock,
The chamois skipping DER the heights;
The plain adorned with many flock,
And oh thousand more delights.
That grace yon dear beloved retreat,
Have backward won my weary feet.
Now safe returned, with wandering tired,
No more my little home i'll leave;
And many tale OF what I've seen
Shall while away the winters eve.
oh have wandered far and wide,
Der many distant foreign land
Each place, each province have tried,
And sung and danced my saraband
But all their charms could not prevail,
To steal my heart from yonder vale.
