THE LOUD CALL.
on THE DIsINTEnEsTLD pARsoN

Or THE DlsiNTEhEsTED PANsoN.
There liv'd Parso,, as we're told,
But when or where we know not,
Who oft his snoring flock would scold
1h,eat'nng that they to heaven should SO not,
But rather down to hell be hurPd,
If they would not abiure the world,
And count AS dross its filthy mammon, gold.
i CHANGED at length, this goody wight,
Who stontly fought the christian fight,
Elsewhere received louder call;
What though the stipend was T,He more
To one who placed in wealth so little store,
This had no zOe.ght you know, al aHt
Twas not the cash-oh no
But twas s. the Lord commanded"-
And though twas hard to go away,
Should he refuse ss the Lord" T. obey.
And be careless servant branded!
No, sure-so he must go.
The parting sabbath now arriy'd,
And all his simple flock contriy'd
To hear their priests farewell
He ply'd them long in righteous strain,
Bade them from darling SINS refrain,
And in sweet concord dwell:
To hate the world in holy ways be bold,
And shun the souls seducer, giitt'ring spn.
The service DER,
Before the door
The parish gentry gatler'd round
Smiling, the good man came among them,
seiz'd OH their ofierd hands, and wrung them.
"a saint EARTH" the gisnnies cried.
Then roll'd their eyeballs up, and sigh'd,
And dropp'd their farewell curtsies TO the ground.
Behind the rest,
To bid the priest goodbye,
In natures sooty jacket drest,
Old CGsar came-a wag, and mighty sly
Bowing, the stick Of ebony began
contab with the gold despisipg man
'tAh how good massa parson do
g hope he fine him berry WE'LL"
swell, Caesar, well, and how do youi'
"Ah nassa, Gesar hardly tell;
g Dis good loDg ta enty year,
.tWid you he worship here,
Sand now he sorry from you frock you co."
All honest Caesar, yes il must be So;
6 Pm sorry, too,
That am forced away:
ssBut then, you know, 'twoud never do,
"1he LORDS loud cult for me to disobey."
"Who? massa, WHO, yon say
s'De Lord call you away!
Massa how many poun year,
"Do peoples pay for preaching here /"
"1wo hundred"-" toder place glib any more 7"
Why-Casar-yes, l think they offer roun."

Gaming Houses--A writer in the Louisiana Ad-
yertisrr, gives the following concise estimate Of the
expenses OF the six gambling licences, authorized
By law in New Orleans, which, it is believed, falls
shor, of the actual expenditures.
six licenses, at 5000 each $4,000
Tweny-four journey men, that is, four to each
bank, each 300 per month 28,SOO
Boarding of the same, at S25 per month. each 1900
Servants hire, TO each bank, at S25 per month,
including board 1890
House rent for each bank, not less than 500
per month, 1,2oc
Liquors, to induce customers play freely, for
light and fuel say So SO per da, for each bank AIS
S8l,475
This enormous sum, he adds, must be paid be-
fore the propretors of these banks can rea'ize any
gain. The public is. then, taxed not less than
100000 per annun for the benefit Of about thirty
individuals.

"FRoM BoGoTA.-We learn by the Emigrant
Capt. Whitaker, at Now York, from Lnguira,
that official accounts from Bogoa announce the ar
rival of Gen. Bolivar, which is confirmed by Gen.
Marno at Caraccas in his proclamation 10 the in
habtants Of that place. News reached Lasuira
upon the 18th inst. of the provinces of Cumana, and
that ofOrineer having ackuo wlenged the Fedora
ton, in consequence of which, there was great re-
jo!cng throughout the day. A salute was fire.
from the batteries, and from the shipping in the har
hor upon the 18th, IN consequence of the arrival o
Gen Paez at Valencia. The country remained N
an unsettled state, but The general opinion which
preuaiied uas that upon he ayrirai o, General Boil
uar every thing uouid be settled IN an aicaLie man
ner, and nfdence restored"
REMARKs.-On this paragraph have numerous
reports been founded, and among others, one ha.
been circulated, representing BOLIVAR to be un
popular III the South American provinces. The
paragraph, 1t stands, does not represent the Iii
berator as unpopular, and the assertion that the
country remained unsettled and inq uiet, has been
satisfactorily contradicted by an arrival at Balti-
more. Official accounts, received by this arrival,
state that all quiet IN the South American
Provnces,-that BOLIVAR retained unusual popu-
larty and wherever he went, he receil ed with
the most enthusiastic applause.

SENATORIAL ELEcTIoN-We deem it unne'
cessary TO say much relative to the Senatorial
Election, to the publications which have pass'
ed between the Hon. ASHER ROBINS, and Mr.
f. H. Potter. Each have already occupied a
sufficient space in the public eye; the one as the ac-
cuser; the other as the accused;-Mr. ROBBINS has
triumphed, he has refuted the calumnies OF an un-
princpled political enemy and aspirant. Whatever
nay be public sentiment obroa6, it is certain that
Mr. ROBBINS retains the entire confidence of the
people this quarter and the public voce, fcall-
ed for, would give him spontaneous suffrage.
Mr.. PoTTER-to use the language of Juuus, has,
in this affair, added the last negative to his political
character, and proved himself destitute of those
honorable principles, which should ever command
the feelings of public man.
The friends ofthe Administration, will, it is be-
leved, at the approaching Senatorial election, sup
port Mr. ROBBINS to man and we hope there will
not be found one, who would give his suffrage 10

DIVISION REvIEw.--A Division Review, oftht
Massachusetts, Militia, took place at Dedham on
Thursday last. We happened TO be present-we
do not recolect ofever beholding more imposing
spectacle. The troops were highly disciplined, and
every man seemed anxious to do his duty. Gen.
CRANE is an aged man, apparently about seventy
five years old and although he labors under the
decrepitudc of age, his appearance was highly mar
tial, and like the Duke of Buckingham, mounted
hot and fiery steed, which his aspiring rider
seemed to know he reminded of those days,
when in The midst of the war of the revolution
he unsheathed his sword, and barred his bosom to
the storms Of battle.
The field, beyond the outposts, resembled an
English Fair;-e,ery species Of amusement was to
be found, and almost every thing was exposed for
sale. Lottery venders had their booths, well a,
"the dealer in stay tape and buckram," and the
whole a miniature picture Of the May-day's
Fair of Great Britain. We are sorry that time aud
our limits forbid our giving minute description.

incurred on account of military purposes"
The Janissaries.-The affair Of the Janissaries il
by no means concluded. Vast numbers of this for
midable body shew every disposition to averge
their comrades. The Sultan still remains in camp,
at a short distance from the capital and shows
much personal energy. Still not above ten thou
sand Janissaries have been disposed of. The rest

Mr.. PELBy is about closing successful euya ge-
ment. On Wednesday evening he played Othell o.
to full house, and received at the hands ofthe au
ience great applause. We are not among the ad-
nrers Of this gentleman, and have always consid er
I'd him vastly overrated. His voice is very defc-
ent-his enunciation is frequently bad-and but
Tor the puffs Of partial friends, he never would
have emerged from the second line Of acting. Hi
late visit to old Drury, will, in oil probability
spoil him, as the writings Of JoHN NEAL presented
aim to the British metropolis, in light that he ne
yer sustained in America. This is said, not with
disposition to njure the fame, the feelings of Mr.
PELBY-but it is in a spirit Of candor which shall
ever move US.
