TO THU S r. BARD.

Bard of the plaintive Tyre in sorrow now
Thy hours are passed, long weary hours of pain,
For pale Consumption sits upon thy brow,
Nor suffers Hope to promise health again.
And slowly now thou art vending on thy way.
Weary and lonely to thy native home,
To calmly wait thy wasting and decay,
No more abroad in lifc's bright paths to roam.
But choer thee now, for home and friends are nigh,
Soon shall a mothers fond embrace be thine,
How gently will she wipe thy fearful eye,
And smooth the passage of thy life's decline.
Oh tits the generous care that friends bestow
On those they love, that makes lfc's close serene,
That oft rcvives the heart oppressed by wo,
And gives support in many a trying scene.
And thou shalt soon the consolation feel,
OF all a mothers fond untiring care,
And Home-dear Home, shall numerous sweets reveal
And make cen hours of sickness pleasant there.

Der HARE, when specializing upon the probable
issue of the marriage, said, with admirable hunor,
that "they would inevitably be DUSs, with black

plexion and red hair, contrasied with FoxIs dark
Lue. The affair, nevertheless, terminated, from
whatever cause. without success. PITT, though
81 different periods ofhis life, he distinguished GER
tain ladies, some Of whom | could name, by marks
Of great predileci.on-and in one instance seemed
even to mediate marriage, yet never persisted IN
Tic attempt; but his name, decent abilities, and phi
vate character, surnounted every i~mpediment to
his elevation. Fox could no more have been

.Ne,o Sh3p.-We yesterday visited a new ship
called the Envoy. built by Mr.. SAMUEL Horse.
WE'LL, of this town, for Messrs Kelly and Wheaton,
and intended to run in the New. Orleans and Euro
pean trade. She is finished in the best manner,
and built chiefly Of Locust timber; is copper fast
ened to the bends, and will be coppcred the first
voyage she makes to Liverpool.
The Envoy is one of the huppiest specimens of
Naval architecture ever exhibited in Providence
and reflects great crcd;. on the taste, and scientific
knowledge of the builder, Mr.. Horsewell.
We were particularly pleased with her windlos.,
which is turned out of solid timber, and embraces
all the powers of the windlass and capstain. The
Envoy measures one hundred feet on the keel, is
three hundred and seventy five tons burthen, and
will stow fifteen hundred bales of COTTON
Whilst viewing her stop hamper" as the sailors
have it, we noticed that she is not to be cumtered
up with iron, and that her topsail sheets, topsail, ties,
yard slings, &c. are to be of Manila rope, to the
exclusion of iron chains, which have of late been SO
fashionable among our merchantmen.
The Manila rope. being soft and plant, and ex-
ceedinsly strong, claims u decided preference, for
running rigging, over any other rope or chain that
has ever been used on board of ships, and is fast
gaining use in the navy.
We wish the Envoy pleasant gales good !reishts
and quick pa sages.

Fourth 9fJaiy Orator. The Hon. WILL

the populace, on the fftieth anniversary
of American independence. From the
well known talents and attainments of this
distinguished gentleman, public expectation,
may justly be raised in relation to the an
ticipated address. Mr.. HUNTER's manner
is graceful and happy, his language is i'm
FASHIONED and declamatory, and we may
expect the finest display of oratory that
has recently been witnessed by the citizens
of Providence.

Important DiScorery.-We have noticed an ar!i-
Gle in some of the newspapers published on the sea-
board, headed New experiment in ship building"
which goes on TO say that a General Barnum Of
Rutland, Vermont, has discovered that iron knees
can be used in the building of ships to the entire
exclusion Of wooden ones. This is indeed an i'm
portant and most extraordinary discovery, and is
rendered not the less wonderful from the fact, that
iron knees have been occasionally used in the con-
struction of ships for the last fifty years-and are
now entirely abandoned. We recollcct the last
summer of seeing some dozen Of them ripped from
the beams of the ship Atlas of this port, and con-
demncd as useless; and experience has taught our
ship masters and ship owners, that they are alto.
gether insufficient. and cannot be used with any
kind Of safety. On board of snail vessels, naviga-
ting still waters, where the strain is comparatively
small, they may answer a good purpose, but OH
board Of a ship that n~avigates the ocean they are
worse than useless. A ship in a heavy sea, is sub
ject to intense and laborious action, and the iron
knee, being stiff and accommodating to the
Mrches ofthe vessel, very soon breaks and leaves the
deck altogether exposed, aud with nothing to hold
it to the frame'but the spikes, bolts and trennels that
are used to fasten the water ways, shear streaks and
waste plank.

IMineya0gy.-We have been fayoured by q scien-
ti6c gentleman of this town, with specimens Of gold,
silver and iron ore, found in this vicinity but as we
are not we'll versed in the science Of Mineralogy, We
are incapable Of giving our opinion of the relative
| value Of the two first minerals. but go far as the lat
ter is concerned, we are Of an opinion, that it is Of
the first quality. 1t is the opinion Of our friend,
that the gold and silver specimens contain a small
quantity of the precious metals, but lie does not
think they arc sufficiently impregnated TO authorize
the digging Of The mines, where they were found,
which are situated in North Providence.
la the specimen Of gold presented to us, the nine
raj is very distinctly discovered, and is quite bril-
liant, and that of silver is none the less so. The
specimens will be left with the Franklin Society for
aaalization, and will probably be reported upon By
some OF the gentleman of that scientific institution.
That immense beds of iron ore are to be found in
Rhode-lsland, there cannot be a doubt, for as early
as the year 1883, considerable progress was made
by a then cnterprizins citizen of Providence. in
manufacturing it into pig iron, cauprn, &c.
1t is to be regretted, that our capitalists DO not
embark in the business ofmining for iron ore, when
there is SO great a demand for The article in this
manufacturing district and when it is remember
ed, that we annually pay TO Pennsylvania, some
thing like a hundred thousand dollars, for pig iron,
it is a matter Of surprise, that we do not retain that
amount Of funds within our own hands, and from
our own resources supply our wants. The true
Domestic policy would suggest the adoption of such
a course and if once taken up, we doubt not would
be found too valuable TO be abandoned.
The bed ofore, known better by the appellation
of the Hope Furnace, we understand has been wor-
ked some months past by a company from Boston,
and has already been found very productive so
much so, that it would take more than ordinary in
ducements to prevail upon the proprietor to relin-
quish his claim upon that ancient, and well known
ore bed.
