Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1826-01-25

A number Of the principal merchants OF the
city Of New-York, amounting to more than
hundred, have formally pledged themselves to
one another, and advertised their determination,
that for debts contracted after the date OF the
association, they will in no instance, discharge
a debtor, who, in case. of insolvency, shall in
any manner make preference in paying or Sc
curing any creditor whatever, except Tor money
actually borrowed, for accommodation notes
discounted a, some bank, and for Custom House
Bonds.
1t is declared, at the same time, that while the
association is determined to act firmly, the no.
nest and unfortunate insolvent is not to be OPP
pressed; on The contrary, an open, frank and
plain statement Of his business to a committee
Of merchants, will permit, and, it is not doubted,
will induce any Of the signers of the instrument,
to afford him the necessary facilities for recon-
mencing business.

The repeated and daring attempts of some
unknown incendiaries, to burn the City Of
Charleston, have caused great CONSERVATION a.
mong the inhabitants of that place On Sun
day night the 18th inst and on the same day of
the week for the three weeks preceding, the
villains succeeded in lighting up fires which
were suppressed with considerable difficulty;
and on Monday evening the 10th, two other at
,empts were made. Nightly patrols Of the ci-
tzens have been organized, and frequently the
excitement and alarm is so great, as to cause
many others to walk the streets during the best
part Of the night.

IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL.

IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL.
Ertrac of letter receipedn Salem from respectable
mercantile house, dated
"Rio Janeiro, Nou 23.-It was confidently sta
ted about trn days ago, that the emperor would
empower Sir Charles Stuart to treat with Bue-
nos Ayres respecting the Banda Oriental, and
settle their differences on such terms as might
appear advisable to him; and the Diamond
frrieate was to have sailed this morning with
him on that mission. The Emperor, however,
very suddenly and unexpectedly determined not
to accept of his mediation, and on the 10th in
tant published an address to his troops, which,
were about embarking for River Plate, that
leaves little hope Of an amicatde settlement OF
our difficulties; and should Bolivar come down
with considerable force TO Join the Buenos
Ayreans, which is spoken of as thing beyond
doubt, we may soon expect serious strife In
that quarter, but can form no opinion as to what
the result NAV be. Sir Charles was to have
sailed this morning for Bahia, perhaps not
pleased with she emperor's course"
A late London Courier, alter noticing the

Mr.. McLane of Delaware, the jealous and
efficient Chairman of the Committee Of Ways
and Means, gave notice, yesterday, in the House
of Representatives, that he should this day, call
Up the annual Appropriation Bill, being con-
yinced, that the public interest demanded the
immediate attention OF the House to the subject.
The notice was given, we presume, in conse-
quence of manifest desire Of some members,
to protract the discussion on the Judiciary Bill,

bot me attachment of mother, no change of for

Remembrance hovers over every incident, in

aside the arrows of misfortune; that genteness
which aesIated the pangs Of distress that tender
ness which smoothed the pillow Of sickness that
hand which held the aching head of pain that piety
and that sanctity which kinded 10 our heart the
pure fiame OF devotion those smiles which beamed
upon U.S. and ever the brightest when the world was
trowning and that unalterabe love which support.

these ever be forgotten? Callous and hardened must
be the heart of that child, who can behold without
powerful emotion, the memorials of deceased
parent. No! The heart must swell and the eve
must weep, when we visit that closet where we con-
versed with God together, and find the abode of
solitude and desolation of heart when we look
on the days tnat are to come and behold the dark
current OF existence strewed with the wreck of our
broken hopes and ruined schemes and feel thar
we must travel In loneliness along the pathway Of
being, berelt OF those who, by sharing, heightened
our pleasures, and who, by dividing, alleyaled our

EVENING PRAYER AT A GIRLS SCHOOL.
By Mrs. Hemans.

By Mrs. Hemans
Hush 'tis holy hour the quiet room
Seems Ike temple, while yon soft lamp sheds
A faint and starry radiance, through the gloom,
And the sweet Stiffness, down bright Young heads
With all their clustering locks, UNTOUCHED by care
And bow'd-as flowers are how'd with nght-in prayer
Gaze on. Ills lovely. childhood's lip and cheek,
Wanting beneath its earnest brow of thought!
Gaze, yet what sees thou in those fair and meek
Aud fragile things as but for sunshine wrought
Thou sees what grief must nurture for the skv
What death must fashion for eternity
o joyous creatures that will sink to rest!
Lightly when those pure prisons are done,
As birds with slumber's honey dew Oppressed
Midst the dim folded leaves, at set Of sun
L'ft up your hearts though yet no lies
Dark in the summer-heaven of those clear eyes,
Though fresh within your breast tn untroubled springs
of bope make melody where'er We tread,
And DER your sleep bright shadows from the wings
Of spirits visiting but youth, be spread
Yet in those 1nte-ike voices, mingled low,
Is womans tenderness-iow soon her woe.
Her lot is you silent tears to weep,
And patient smiles TO wear through suffering's hour
And sunless riches, from affections deep,
To pour on broken reeds wasted shower
And to make them idols, and to find them clay,
And to bewail that worshp-,herefore pray!
Her lot is on you--to be found unr'd
Watching the stars out by the bed of pain,
With pale cheek, and yet brow inspr'd,
And true heart of hope, though hope be vain!
Meekly to bear with wrong, to cheer decay,
And, oh to love through all thngs-therefore pray!
And take the thought of this calm vesper time,
With its low murmurng sounds and silvery light,
On through the dark days fading from their prime,
As sweet dew to keep your souls from blight!
Earth will forsake-oh happy to have given
Tn unbroken hearts first fragrance unto Heaven!

FROM THE PASSAGE OF. TIE SEA
BY Mr.. Fairfield

by Mr.. Fairfield
"Dost thou remember" said an ancient man
Communng with his fellow, on that night
When the Death Angel passed, how the heart hung
In silent breathlessness and cold hands grasped
In sPeechless terror, and wild garing eyes
Alone revealed the agony of fear
Dost thou remember what an awful light
Flashed round US when he turned his seraph eve,
And saw the sign Of our redemption
OF spotless lamb upon our lntes cast
And the front pillars of our dwellings now
Methinks twas very terrible! Through all
Our chosen habitaons not a sound
OF life was heard while flew in dazzling light
The dread Destroyer, and his mighty wings
Rushed like a samie hurricane !; none dared
Whisper his thought or move from out his place,
While every eye spake horror and flashed forth
The drowning fullness of the o'erfraught heart,
Till rose DER Memphis the loud cry of death,
The wall of desolation and despair
Ihen deep breaih-a quick convulsye start
Told that dread deliver ance was achieved"
There was revel in the Egyptian camp
Amid these scenes and golden goblets, brimmed
With wine. passed galy round, and voices rose
In martial merrment; proud Pharaoh sco!fed
AT his past terrors and his chiefs replied
With adulaton TO their monarch's mirlh;
And, in quaint jest and bitter mockery,
He poroned out the Hebrews future fate,
With true regardance of their veal, and all
Laughed and cried lond-' Forever live, o King 20
Trust not in armour" said voice that shook
Earth to its centre: "put thy harness off
As thou dldst grid it on "-Each chief stood mute.
And Pharaoh's brow grew numb and cold as death
And silence slumbered in the banquet tent.
