Ye bind the deep with your secre, zone,
The ocean is sealed, and the surge stone,--.
Fresh wrcaths from the coral pavement sprne,
Like the terraced pride of Assyria's king
The turl looks green where the breakers rolled
Der the whirlpool rpens the rlnd Of goId,--

And the mountains exult where the wave hath BEEN
But why do ye plant meath the pillows dark
The wrecking rect for the gallant bark?

Mid the blossomed sweets that the valleys yi:id--

There's poison drop in mans brightest CUP
Il here are Toes that watch for his cradle breath,
And why need ye SOW the Goods with death?
With mouldering bones the deeps are white
From the ice clad pole, TO the tropics bright,
The mermaid hath twisted her fingers cold
With the mesh of the sea. boys curls of gold,
And the gods of 4cean have frowned TO see

THF ROSTON BARD.

DANIEL BRYAN Esq. whose poetical reputa-
ton is well established among Us, has issued
proposals for publishing an Address for the
Boston Bard, with Poem entitled "The Tri.
umphs of TRUTH" in ar octave volume Of 70
pages. The objec, ofthis publication is the re-
lief of that child ofpenury and pain, to whom
we have referred at the head Of this article; as
the proceeds, after the expenses Of publication
are betrayed, will be exclusively appropriated
to his use. The National lntelligencer of the
goth inst. contains specimen Of Mr.. Bryan's
Address, which exhibits traits Of feeling and
truth in harmony with the genuine spirit of po-
etry We trust that no further appeal to the
patronage of those who have any touch of SYM
pathy for the misfortunes of genius need be
made, than the simple statement, that disease
is fast wearing away the constitution Of the i'll
starred Poet, which broken spirits and distress
sofvheart must have aided in SCATTERING. To
save even one additional pang to an unfortunate
''son of song" and smooth bis pathway TO the
grave, is surely worth the small sum which the
reader is invited 10 give, in that mode which
must be most acceptable to the pride Of genius,
whilst it will reject due honour on those who
have any wish to be ranked among the patrons
of our National poetry.

MORE DREADFUL MURDERS.

Louisville, Ken July 2l.--Two men were as
sassiuated in the county of Nelson, last week,
on Friday One was a MIR. Cauffman Of that
county, the other a Mr. Courtney from Mis-
sissippi They were shot in by-path, in a
dark, shady wood, few miles east of Bards-
town. The bodies were not found un:l Sa,ur-
day evening or Sunday morning. They were
both shot with rifle balls, in the back. Ore APP
peared TO have been killed Instantly, and to
have been dragged little distance from the
path, into the woods. The other who had two
wounds, appeared TO have received the first in
the shoulder, and to have run some forty yards,
dropping blood freely as he went, and then to
have received another and fatal shot, and was
left in the path. The account has Been brought
TO this place by two different gentlemen from
Nelson, and may no doubt be relied on.
Three individuals, a father and two sons, we
understand, are suspected, and have been ar.
rested and confined, upon charge OF having
perpetrated this horrible outrage. and circum'
stances of great weight are mentioned as
grounds for suspecting Commentator.

THE FIRST BANK.

In ll72 the ideas sugge sted by the vast in
crease Of the Venetian Commerce, induced
payments by transfers, or by writing Of the
sum to be paid from the account Of the payer o
the receiver, without the trouble and inconveni-
ence Of weighing out gold and silver. Persons
'hus Interested in mutual exchanges, obtained
charter Of incorporation for the management
Of their Joint concerns, and thus produced the
bank of Pencs, The first bank erer established in the
,Uorld. 1t was conducted with such discretion
and advantage, that il maintained its credit un-
impeached, through centuries Of revolution,
furnishing the most beneficial facilities 10 COM
merce. This example was soon followed, and
banks were established in process of time, in
all the trading cities of the Mediterranean, with
greater or less success, as they were prudently
managed much as it happens in our own times,
upon which the experience Of centuries should
not be lost.

arrived here on Friday last from Port-au-Prince,
informs that French frigate sailed from that
port about the 9th of July for France, having
on board, as. was understood, three millions OF
dollars, being on account of the second install
ment from the Hayden government to that OF
France, for the acknowledgment OF It's indie

good, the exports Of the Island were high.
