3690,32 Of Tons,
Length 3O1 feet 6 inches,
Breadth 80 feet 7 inches,
Depth 90 feet 4 inches,

The largest ship nthe English Navy, and in a.
ny other, Is the Prince Regent, carrying s2 guns;
her burtlen is 1920 tons; of course her register
measurement must be considerably less-hcr
extreme length is 54i feet, width :53 1-2, depth
% she was seven years on the stocks, and cost
l zoo'ouo. The above statement of the di,nen-
s'ons OF the Columbus does not comprise her ex
treme proportions, but those necessary for =
Custom House Rcgister-we believe certain
h'eaiitn proportions. We are told by compe-
tent Judges that she will carry about 5000 tons
oil TIMBER, and therefore tar surpassesin burthen
any other vessel.
The capital laid ont in this country, we ina
g'he' must be very great, and it is coniectured
by experienced ship builders, that she will have
cost al least - per ton. exclusive of masts and
rigging She has been the means of employing
great number of carpenters and labourers for
the last nine months, who, from the demand
winch existed for other ship work, obtained
high pTices-thc latter at one time two dollars
per day.
We understand that another vessel of tJ,is
description is soon to be laid down.

MARRIED.

How much is compreiiended i'm these two syl-
lables-''the twain are one iiesh" The con-
tempative mind anticipates III it the future his
tory of man. 1t means look matrimonv
but at the same time, is the outset of living; the
outfit of enterprise the stepping stone of plea
sure and happiness the handspring of prospe-
= rity; the rag wheel of adversely and the high
way life. BY tins cn-insttuted right, the
great chain of being is constantly progressing i;
its links are almost innumerable, aud reach from
sea to sea.-To the interrogative ;s'W here is
your darlings" how often is the answer -
".Mtrrted and gone to the new corntres -
In truth, the statesman, the orator. the hero the
genius. the artist, yea, the king and the beggar,
and virtuous and vicious, are Indebted To this tie
for their existence. The first consideration af.
ter,ve have eat our white bread, as a life part
nership---this formed, we see in the newspapers,
between the passing events, and deaths of the
( day, .Nayried-and here save a hearty laugh
or two, the matter ends. Soft but why
should t9 1t is the fortune of some and the fate
of others. He married fortune is common
saying, and a true one, when young man of de-
corum unites with lady, whose portion is, pru-
dencc, virtue aud retnernent--but he weds an
heir to poverty and seals his fate, who takes TO
himself, dashing dame, whose only cndovments
are, beauty, pride anidscontent. How pleasing
the prospects of new married couple!
The honey moon offanCy beams in every feature;
their minds are big with future happiness; they
sport in contentment, and carol in expectation
buttheir unknown destiny, like all created things,
is mixed with good and evil. The fond solacc
of Marriage is lost in the busy hustle of business
care and anxiety, pleasure and pain, health
and sickness, are the allotments of liie-Youth
is succeeded by age, and
"Death comes next--they make their exit"
Of all crimes that ever disgraced Society,
that OF swearing admits OF the least paliation.
Nothing can be offered to Justify an i'm pious OATH
and yet IT is the most common, thing. Visit
what class of people you may, from the votarres
OF the midnight stew TO the most elevated walk
In life, you hear imprecations that woud as |
found the ears of a stole and wound the feelings |
of the least rejecting mind. No possible bene- |
fit can arise from profanity; nothing is held forth
as temptation to commit the act; nothing but
the perverseness and depravity of human ma
ture would have ever suggested such thing as
this crime; yet such is its prevalence, that br
many it is mistaken for fashionable acquire
ment, and considered as Indicative of energy
and decision of character. Fatal dclusion -
Reflect young man! Has not the same i,npo-
sing mandate, which says, Thou shalt not kill, -
said in terms as strong, s'Thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vain?" Pause
then, before you suffer the dire oath again to
polute your lips, or before you have uttered the
imprecation, an avenging God may call YOU to
complete the sentence in another world.

FROM THE EDINBURGH REVIEW.
The beautiful Irish air, 'The Fox's Sleep is uni
ted to the following verses by MIR. smyth
THE hero may perish, his country to save,
And he lives in the records of fame;
The sage may the dungeons of tyranny brave
Ever honor'd and blest be his name
But virtue that silently tolls or expires,
No wreath for the brow to entwine,
That asks but smile-buta fond sigh requires
woman that virtue is thine
There is much feeling and tenderness in the Ad-
dress by Dying Father to his daughter, in a song
OF Mr. smyth's to the same melody.
Thou hast walk'd by my side, and nv board thou
hast spread,
FOR my char the warm corner hast found
And told my dull ear what the visitor SAID
When saw that the laughter went round
Thou hast succonr'd me still and my meaning e.
prest,
When memory was lost on It's way
Thou hast pilow'd my head ere laid ittorese,-
Thou art weeping beside ME to-elay Il
