Of the Revolution, and equipped sever
al vessels for the naval service; she di-
rected, too, her attention towards the
Morea; she formed an early connexion
with Colocotroni, and shared, if she be
not much belied, no trifling proportion
of the plumber Of Tripolizza. She GER
tainly entered that city a few days after
its capture, while its streets were yet
reeking with blood, in kind of tri-
umph, on horseback, astride, after the
manner of Orientals and Amazons.
Since that period, she has married her
pretty daughter to Captain Panos thus
Strengthening her continental influence;
while old Colocotroni obtained by the
connection the support of a considera BILE
party in Spezzia. Thus, then, is Bo-
bolina at the same time an Islander
and Capitana.
"Nothing is so dull and unpopular
as truth: are we not educated in the
hattering belief that the heroines are a
species distinctively valiant, generous,
and disinterested-surpassingly beau

ought to be the heroine Bobolina; and
it is not without reluctance that | am
brought to confess that this warlike la
dy, Hippolyta of the nineteenth century,
is old, unmannerly, ugly, fat, shapeless,
and avaricious.
Some spirit of enterprise and spec
ulation she most assuredly possesses
nor has she failed to turn it to very
profitable use. Two minis have been
established under her auspices, at
Spezzia and Napoli; the rapid depre-
citation of the Turkish plaster, and the
little intrinsic value of the last gold
coinage, have opened lucrative field
for forgery; the coinage have been I'M
itated by the Greeks with great sue
cess, and large quantities OF it have
been privately imported as Turkish
money, into various parts Of Asia.
Similar attempts were made to initiate
the Spanish dollars, but not with the
same success; in weight, indeed, the
forged seldom falls short of the real
dollar; but the indifference OF the exc
sutton make them instantly distinguish

the fraud which it is attempted to i'm

a curious scene took place in Barnstable
church on Sunday sen'nlght. A young fe-
male, the daughter Of Mrs. Hill, Of the
Crown and Anchor Inn, presented herself
at the altar to be joined in holy matrimony
to a recruiting sergeant. For several years
she had been engaged toa respectable young
tradesnan Of that town, to whom report saws
she was this week to have been united, with
the entire appreciation Ct her family and
friends, and with whom she had taken an
early walk on the morning of the day on
which she was married, but the serieant
having attacked her affections, made a
breach i'll her constancy, pursued his sd-
vantage, and hastened to the church, before
her friends had any conception of their in
tentions. Immediately AS the intelligence
reached them, they fed to the church,
where they found the clergyman performing
the ceremony, which WAS suddenly Interrupt
ted BY their entrance; but i'll spite of the
tears, entreares, and the threats Of her mo-
ther, the pathetic appeals, the affectionare
remonstrance, or the agitated feelings of her
ayonized lover who tainted on the spot, she
persisted in her determination to be unite,
to the soldier; and her mother and lover be-
ing removed from the altar, the ceremony
was concluded, and the newly married cou-
pie entered the carriage which awaited them
1t the church, and drove off towards Ply
mouth to join the regiment, under marching
orders for Ireland.--English haher.

TALES BY THE O'HARA FAMILY.

Irish affairs, to use the Eastern phra-
scology which has inundated the West,
are at a premium, if we may Judge
from the demand in which they are,
both in the political and literary
world. In the former, they have been
voted bore by several good authori
tIes-we should be sorry to think them
so in the latter; and while such no
wells as the above arc given us, we have
no dread Of that awkward consumma-
ton.
These Tales by the O'Hara Family,
are written by Mr.. Banim, the author
of Damon and Pythias, the Celts Para
disc, sc. assisted, we understand, by
relation. He appears to know the af-
fairs ofhis native land thoroughly, and
TO have entered into all its circles.
An anxiety TO give his national charac-
ter, in the most appropriate costume,
has, induced him, in some instances,
10 write so much after the vernacular
dialect of his heroes, as somewhat to
puzzle the English reader; but this is
much better than softening it down so
as 70 lose the peculiarities which form
the principal charm Of such nara
tives.
There are three tales-Crohoore
Cornelius, of the Bill Hook Fetches,
and John Doe. The first is inferior to
the others. 1t is an unmired picture
of the Irish low life; no character in it
being ofhigher degree than a snug far
mer, and descending so low as the beg
gar. We are not so absurd as to OBJ
iect to description of low life. but we
expect to see it relieved by the adj
mixture of representations of the other
classes of society. The story is well
told, but it would occupy too much OF
our space were we to analyze it. The
reader will be better pleased, and the
powers Of the author shown TO more
advantage, if we extract vivid pas
sage describing contest between a
small party of military, and a tunlul-
tuous crowd assembled TO rescue a
couple Of prisoners. The mob had
succeeded in abusing and disarming
the soldiery, and were about to dismiss
them unhurt, when-"Brave fellows
cried the SERGEANT, for brave you are to
attempt and succeed in an action
such as you truly say we have never
seen equalled, and generous fellows,
too, to give us life and liberty when
we least expected either-brave and
generous men, listen to me. You say

POETR z.

For the Ne1U- York american.
To die-to feel and know that death
Is catching every passing breath
To feel the heart-blood ebbing fast,
The pulse faint, throb, perhaps the last
The mist come DER the aching sight,
Dark'ning each particle oflight.
The swollen tongue, the cheek comprest,
The dropping lip and sunken chest
To look a silent, sad farewell,
A half.drawn sigh, that fain would tell
To some dearmourncr sweep not So
Accents the living cannot know:
A faint, whisper, then give DER,
And droop the head the breast before;
Draw up the feet the fingers close,
Then restless, turn, and dream, and dose,
Until the immortal part is gone,
And deaths resistless trance comes on
This is the natural death-and why
Should it be thought privilege thus to die
To rush on death as carclessly
As divers plunge into the sea;
No strife, or struggle, sigh, or sorrow
No dark forebodings of the morrow;
One moment every pulse is high,
And heart and nerve bound vigorously.
The next pervades that freezing chill,
And heart, and nerve, and pulse are still,
The stream of life rol'd rudely back,
Stopt suddenly, moments rack,
A ftful seizure of the brain,
a twitching ofthc heart, pain
That comes and goes in single breath,
And with it all we know of death.
More privileges in this by far,
And yet slow exits we prefer
To lie and finger, swoon away,
Come to, relapse, grow worse to day,
Tomorrow better, jade and fret
And think we may survive it yet
Again convuls'd with pain intense,
Delirium, loss ofevery sense
Resisting still with drausht and drug,
Then ready for another tug;
Till fairly dragged and torn from life,
We end at once the unequal strife. II.

To the Editors Of the Saturday Eren'ng Post
DIR. Gibson, Professor of Surgery in the u
University of Pennsylvania, in his Lecture OF
Monday last, spoke in high terms of SWANS
Panacea. He remarked that he had found 1t
decidly beneficial in chronic cases of Syphilis,
&c. and that he had known patients who had
labored under this disease for length of+ime,
and tried almost every remedy commonly en-
ployed for its cure, with very little it any ef-
feet. but who, after using the Panacea, re-
covered quickly and entirely. He related Sc
veral instances Of rapid and extraordinary res
toration to robust health from state of the
most miserable weakness and infection, where
in repeated salivations had produced only the
mischief incident to the use of mercury. He
spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personally, &C
knowledging the generosity which he had
shown in the distribution of his medicine to
the poor, and in the support even of whole IA
miles until 4 cure was effected. The Profess
sor mentioned that he had been censured by
Surgeons and Physicians for recommending
the Panacea of Swain, but that he thought it
duty which he owed to suffering humanity
not to withhold the expression of his opinion
and experience Gifts eficacious character.

N B. We think it our duty to say, that We
are surprised to find that number of spurious
mixtures have been got up lately, in imitation
of this most valuable remedy, and that several
strangers have been injured by the mistake.
We would advise all persons who are IN want
of such remedy, to apply where the genuine
is known to be had. MEDiCoo'
