Steamboat Commerce and safety barge
Lady Giaton.-Yesterday afternoon
those elegant boats left this city for Al
bany, under the command Of Captain
George Seymour, late Of the Steam
boat Lady Sherbrooke. The decks Of
both boats were crowded, and the
wharves and shipping were covered
with thousands Of persons who had as
sembled to witness her departure. The
Commerce aud Lady Clinton left the
wharf dashed side and side, and remain
ed in that situation about quarter OF
a mile, when the Commerce shot ahead
and took the other in tow, in her wake.
While the boats remained at the wharf
they were visited by admiring thou.
sands and any description on paper, will,
fall far short ofthe reality.
The Steamboat Commerce is calcu-
lated both for freight and passengers,
and is built on the same plan as the
boats now running between Montreal
and Quebec. She is $50 feet deck, and
26a feet beam. The ladies' cabin is
below, and at distance Of thirty-six
feet from the boiler, between which
there are two bulk heads. The cabin
is well lighted and has every convent
ence. The gentlemen's cabin is on
deck, and contains twenty-three births.
Over this is an upper deck, which ex-
dc 20 oh ha Of bn
and is covered by an awning.
The Safety Barge is the most su.
perbly finished packet we have ever
seen, and the same opinion was yester-
day expressed by several gentlemen
who have recently travelled through
England, France; &c. she is liz feet
long and SO feet wide; and on the lower
deck there is an uninterrupted walk
from the stem to the stern, about seven
feet on either side, entirely sheltered
from the weather. The ladies large
cabin is on deck, and is fitted up in
most tasteful manner. There are also
adouble row Of state rooms, with two
births in each, we'll lighted, and in
each room is6xed writing-desk, wash
stand, SC.
The dining room is below, and is 81
feet in length, and % in breadth. One
hundred and eighty persons can be sea-
ted with convenience at the table, and
two hundred can be accommodated if
required. This room is also the gen
tlemens's sleeping apartment, and con.
tains fifty-four births. The upper deck
extends nearly the whole length Of the
boat, and is covered by an awning.
The price Of passage in the barge is
81, and in the Steamboat 50. The
boats are separated on their passage at
a distance OF about fifteen feet, but
Communication will be kept up by a
drawbridge, well secured and guarded,
over which the provisions are to be
conveyed from the steamboat to the
Barge-Com .Adu.

And saw the tributes offered by the free,
To him who first fair Gallia's flag unfnrled.

Where lisping youth, and aged men had met
To render grateful homage to his name,
Deserved praise to gallant La Fayette.
Hark to the rising shouts that loud proclaim
A nations gratitude, ahero's fame.
saw the grey-haired veteran trembling stand;
He, who amid his country's battles stood
Firm as the tempest-beaten rock, With hand
And heart, unblemished, mid scenes of
death and blood
Lowly he bows before the passing form,
And scenes long past recall to memory
When freedoms champion mid the battles

He led her armies on to victory =
Slowly he wipes away the rising tear, (fe.r.

POETRY.

From an English paper.]
SMILES AND TEARS.
Both smiles and tears belong to JOY,
And both belong to sorrow;
To youth, to age; to man and boy,
And woman's charms they borrow.
Tears oft are shed where joy is deep,
We laugh when griefis wild,
And at one time will laugh and weep
The old man and the child.
The heart that's breaking, laughs-aye
laughs,
The heart o'erjoyed will weep,
Fen while the rapture-bowl it quaffs,
And healths are many and deep
The maniack laughs within his cell;
The King weeps OH his throne;
And melancholy hath spell
None but the happy own.
Beauty is Queen of Smiles and Tears;
In smiles she triumphs, let her!
And fairer farm grief appears,
And Love then loves her better.
Yes Smiles and Tears belong to love,
And love hath joy and sorrow,
1t shineth like star above,
That grace from gloom doth borrow.
From the United States Literary Gazette.
It was stated in New-York paper a short
time since, that the Moon was nearer the
earth at the present time than it had been
for 500 years previous. The following
lines were suggested by the fact
Mild queen of light and loneliness,
IL hail thy nearer smile; for thou
Dost love with thy chaste look to bless
The stricken healt;-and even now
While am gazing on thy face,
! feel the c6olins te:as come s. salins,
As if they knew thy light should chase
Away the shades of fearless feeling.
Why contest thou, with that sweet smile
of cloquencc, so near us now,
Gazing with thy calm look the while,
AS if our world were pure as thou,
And thou did'st love to gaze and dwell
Upon our path, as we on thee
Perhaps thou'rt sad, and there's spell
Ofsoothing in our sympathy:
Or haply thou art come to bring
The weary ones of earth away,
And should be with thee a.wing,
Unshrouded from these robes Of clay.
Can'st thou not send some minister
Of thy pavilion down, to lead
My spirit where thy chariots are,
When from its earthliness tits freed,
Hong to stretch my flight away
My pinion's plumagc fades beneath
The dampness of this weight of clay
'Twould brighten at the touch of death:
And with the food ofhope and feeling,
Which mingles in thy silver light
Pour'd or my soul, and thy revealing
To make my sry vesture bright,
Oh would wing itu with thee
To the pure source of light and love,
And sweep my Tyre eternally
Tothe sweet airs they sing above. ROY.

A landlord in this city, suspecting a
tenant of his was about to REMOVE his
furniture, in order to avoid distress au.
thorised constable to 60 on the pre-.
misses; and take any PERSONAL PROPERTY
which he might 6nd.-The constable
accordingly went to the house, and
found it nearly stripped-two or three
decent tables and some chairs only re-
Misunderstanding an eye around the
room, without seeing any thing with
in the LETTER of his AUTHORITY, he was
about to retire, when humping & scra.
ping noise in the chimney arrested lis
attention. Presently poor half smoth-
cred sweep crawled out covered with
rags and SCOT. The constable instantly
seized upon his unhooded victim with
one hand, and with the other outstretch-
ed, displayed written order which
he instantly commenced to notify
BY virtue of a writ of fry FACE, sc.
After some resistance on the part Of
the sweeps employer, the constable
carried him off in triumph The boy
was replevied, and the constable on ne
suit was Obliged to pay costs--up"n
the landlords enquiring why he did not
take the tables and chairs?-the consta-
BILE asked with some Importance, Il
he called them PERSONAL property y"
This query somewhat alarmed the land1
lord, although he ventured to assert
that he did esteem them personal prop
erty,--but said he, what do you call
personal property, Mr.. Constable -
"Why NEGROES and cows, to be sure. "

many of which he knew were Of superiI.
