" Never shall forget the view from tie Syren's
Cave. The tremendous cataracts above-the fear
full gulph below-the depth of which our shudder
ing sight vanly seeks to fathom, the roar the rage
the strife of the maddenng waters, impelled on
ward as if by irresistible destiny, to their terrific
doom; the narrow step that separates from their
sweeping fury, lowering as we stand on the brink
of perdtion, No Words can never speak its sub.
Unity
To me mighty cataract has always seemed
the most sublime of all the terrors Of nature There
is something in its continuity, and its unabatng rage,
which strikes our souls with awe and wonder All
things else in nature change and pcrish-and all
that the most tr&ught with force and power, are
the most evanescent, except this. The empests Of
the ocean pass away--thc thunderstorm endurcs
but for tme--the dread hurricane is soon at res.
the volcanoes red streams Of liquid fire grow cold
and arc extnguShed- the earthquake itself
that shakes the foundations Of the earth and swal
lows up whole nations in its yawning womb, is but
the CONFUSION of a day. But we behold the cease

course from the beginning Of time, and will cont

A friend presents US with the following orr
rinal anecdote, which loses nothing of its in
terest by the simplicity of the relation.
ANECDoTE.
A clergyman, not long since, remarked in
the pulpit. that it was celebrated saying OF
George whitfield, that man was not only halt
beast and half devil, but all beast and all de-
vii; he however, (the clergyman was pre-
pared to prove that every child born into the
world was all devil lie then went on with
an attempt to do SO, making his notions OF
original sin the basis of the argument. The
next day one of his hearers happened to BEN
company with him at the house OF mus'iai
friend, when pretty, innocent looking child
came into the room. The gentleman adj
dressed il in this manner "Come here you
nrettv little devil" "what in the world do
YOU mean by this kind Of icnguage !" says
the Clergyman, highly offended at its use in
his presence. "why," says the other sis
,bare ,nv barmiu il 30 s'to be sure there is,
replied the clergyman. "Yon must answer

The great rage for the establishment Of
MED institutions Of every description, which
has for some time prevaile in NewYork, adj
ded to the late destructive speculationsin cot
ton, and the failure of some ofthe new Banks,
has produced an embarrassmentin the money
market that forbodes the mist serious conse-
quences, The alarm produced in the minds
of the generality Of people by the stoppage
of the Derby Bank and the New-Jersey Lom-
bard, has rendered them suspicious of the
soundness Of all similar institutions, and con-
sequently had a tendency to restrict these in
their ability to relieve the ants Of the
mercantile community. The New-York A
merican declares that the old Banks are sound
and healthy; and recommends concert in &C.
ton. and if necessary, joint participation in
risk, in order to relieve those, who, though
possessing undosbted means, are yet, owing
to the emergencies of the times, unable tc

The Boston Commercial Gazette, contra
diets, by authority, the report of Kean's re-
cent visit to that city, and his interview with
the managers ofthe Federal street Theatre.
The editors of the Gazette acknowledge
themselves among those who opposed Mr..
Kean, but express willingness to be salts
fed with the promised apology to the Bosto-
mans, should II be in keeping with his card
to the people of New-York. He will find an
audience, they say, as ready to forgive as they
were to resent an insult. All this may
be philanthrophy, but in our humble judg.
ment, rather too refined. Few of the wretches
who trample on the social compact, and out
rage the laws Of decency and hospitality,
would receive the punishment due to their
crimes, if an apology IN the lest resort, could
BE made to screen them from resentment and
restore them to favor. We view Kean as a
monster of the most hideous form, and altho'
we should oppose the practice of visiting the
theatre for the purpose Of expressing disap-
probation, more especially after his card, still
we think that no apology can Justify APPARENT,
or decent female, in extending their patron
age to so base man.
