With what glory comes aud goes the yearl
The buds ut Sprlng-'hoss beautiful harbingers
OF sunny skies and eloudless iin1es--enl,y
thtes newness, a1d eartil's garnIture spread out.
Ana wheh.the silver habit ut the Clouds
Comes down upon the Autumn sul, 5ad. with
sober gtadness, the oil year takes up
His bright inheritance at golden ir,lits,
pomp and pageant fi'l the splendid scene.
There is beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mello1 richness on the clustered trees,
And from a beaker, full OF richest dyes,
Pouring new glory on the Autumn woods,
And dipping in warm light the pllar'd clouds.
Morn on the mountain. like Summer bird.
Lifts up her purple wing an in the wales
The gentle wind, sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the bushing le.i, and stlrs up hie
Within tie solemn woods Of ash deep crmsoned
And silver beach, anG maple yellow leafed -
Where Autumn. like faint oil man, sits down
BY the way side weary. Through the trees
The golden robin moves; the purple hneh,
That on wiid cherry and red cedar feeds
A Winter bird-cOmes with its piaintiye whistle
Ard peeks by the witch hazel, whist aloud
From cottsge roofs the warbling biae bird sings;
And merriiy, WITH ott-repeated stroke.
Sounds from the threshing floor the busy fail,
o what glory doth this world put on
For him that With ieryent heart goes forth,
Under the bright and glorious sky, and looks
On duties welt performed, and days well spent
For him the wind, aye, and the yellow leaves,
Shall have voice, and give'him eloquent teach
ingS
He shall 50 hear the sole nm hymn, that Death
Has lifted Up for all, that he shall go
TO his long resting place without tear.

D FROM me ChttiuT0tI' [ ono CG%IHes
s9'stiqaities.-In excavatlng the grounds
in this city, last week, some articles
were found well calculated to excite
curiosity and speculation.
The principal site Of the city is upon
what is usually called a second bank
1t is composed principally of sand and
gravel, and rises from 80 to 40 feet above
the first bank of the river. Above 90
feet beneath the upper surface an iron
shoe, like horse shoe, was found inn
bedded in gravel. It's size and shape
corresponds with that OF the foot OF
jack. 1t is neatly made, in the present
fashion of making horse shoes, ha.
slight heel points, and had three nails on
a side, four of which now remain in it.,
and are clenched in such manner as to
indicate that it was not cast from the
foot in use, but more probably remain
ed on the animal at its death. The in.
crustation of rust is not very thicx, and
considering the place where il was found,
might be such as to prevent any corro-
ding. 1t is deposited in Lotions Muse
um, IN this city, where the curious can
see it.
Very neat the same place, and at \.
boutthe same depth, there was found,
on the next day, atooth, weighing about
five pounds, of black color, and sup
posed to be the grinder Of an elephant.
These articles were found at no great
distance from Judge Burnet's, where,
in digging a well some years since, a
lump, with marks of the cut Of an axe.
was found at near the same level An
ancient foriiication enclosed the surface
of the ground where they were found,
the remains of which were very distinct
at the liIst settlement of the city.
There is also in Letton's Nuseum.
some brass and pewter buttons, of an
uncommon construction, found recently
IN the Ohio river near the mouth OF

POETRY.

HE HAS NO WIFE.
He has no Witches quite alone,
Unsought, unhappy and unknown;
His days pass by, nor pleasure give,
He breathes, methinks, but does not Rre.
He has no wife-he does not know,
The joys, from welded life, that flow,
His absence, there is none to mourn,
No eve looks bright at his return.
He has no wife-his joys are few,
Though he is rich and healthy too.
How selfish he, who will not share
His wealth with woman, chaste and far.
He has no wife-no pratuer's smile,
Or E.ping tongue his hours beguile.
His heart no kind attachment knows,
Regardless both Of friends and foes.
He has no wife-and is it meet,
That man should live to drink and eat;
For this, did the Almighty hand,
Form man the ruler of the landf
He has no wife-well, be it So
His days are Numbered here below;
He soon must 60, whence none return,
And then-his dog and cat will mourn.

In this town, on Sunday night last, John Martin, in
FAINT son Of Mr.. Sylvester 8. Southworth, aged six
months.
Yesterday morning, Mrs. Esther s. futile, wife Of
Col. Job N. futile, and daughter Of the late Mr.. Lind
burn Blake, Of Rochester, n. II. aged rs. Funeral to-
morrow afternoon, Immediately after divine service, from
her husbands residence, No. III, South Main-street.
Mrs. futile had resided among US bait a short period,
but it was sufficiently long, to secure the respect and adj
miration of a circle Of friends, who, whilst they lament
that her brief pilgrimage in life is closed, will console
themselves with the reflection, that she has babe adieu
to a world Of sorrow, to enter upon the enjoyment OF
the blessings Of Heaven. With the i~nestimableq qualities
Of an humble and contrite heart, she blended the amiable
attributes Of benevolence and charity, and the embellish-
mcnts Of a graceful and lovely person. Ardent in her
attachments, and disintcrested in her friendship, she
was ever 70 und, as firm as the :podr star, in her profess
sions Of friendship and hove ;-Tand with the sot and per.
suasive language of a Christian, she poured the balm Of
Gilead into the wounded bosoms Of the sorrowing and
afflicted. reace to her ashes and whilst friendship
drops the tear of sorrow upon her lowly grave, let the
pierced hearts Of her relatives be cheered with the blessed
assurance, thai she slumbers on the bosom Of her Eternal
Father.
In this town, on Monday last, Mrs. Jane Haswell,

"Rumours Micken upon m."-Early on Friday
morning, the town was thrown into considerable dis
order, by reason Of Il report having gained circulas
ton that his excellency Governor FENNER had
died the night before in a fit Of a~poplexy. Con-
siderable speculation took place among politicians
on the subject, aud some half dozen candidates for
the Gubernatorial chair, had commenced shaking
hands.--(not the laying On of hands, ,ndth he preach
ing of political sermons for proselytes, when his
excellency appeared on change IN propria rersonG,
not in the habliments of the grave, but in his won't
ed costume, and n fine health, thus defeating the
whole corps of greedy office hunters. For a while
the press was in demand, and the " Literary Cadet
among others had overtures made to it on the sub
ject of the expected vacancy in the executive
sofice.
But we are glad all were disappointed, and hope
sincerely, that his excellency may live L" many many
years" to enjoy the society Of his family, and all
the comforts of domestic, as well as the honours Of
public life.

A letter from Il correspondent at Washington do-
ted the 18th inst. states that all was quiet in both
branches Of the legislature, at that date, and that
Messrs. McDufie Randolph and others of the oppo-
sition, have since the late combat, treated the Pres
ident and Mr.. Clay, with proper respect. The ap-
preparation bill for the Panama mission was still UNI
der consideration in the House, but as it has but few
opposers no doubts were entertained Gifts passage.
Our correspondent remarks, that our distinguished
representative Mr.. Burgess, had nearly recovered
his usual health, and would probably take the floor
again, ere the rising of Congress, and give to the
world an additional specimen Of his parliamentary
Attachments, and commanding talents.

Steam .Narigation.-The steam navigation now
employed between this town and New York, pre-.
sent specimens Of naval architecture, combined
with the powers of the steam engine, which Proba-
bly, have no examples in Europe or America.
The Steam Boat Washington, Captain E. S.
Bunker, is in truth a floating palace (; and it is well
worth the sum charged for a passage up the sound,
to behold her rapid flights over the bosom Of the
deep, and the splendor of her accommodations.
Her Commander, Captain Bunker, has an init
mate knowledge of every thing connected with a
steam vessel, which is coevial with the inventions
of Fulton, and is the Oldest Steam Boat Command
or in America. During his long and active service
as the Captain of a Steam vessel, he has not met
with a single accident and the circumstance of his
having avoided the many ~calamities, which have
overtaken others, must be ascribed to his vigilance
and unremitting attention to his duty.
The Washington, we understand, will run through
the Sound during the summer. and whilst here,
will occasionally afford us excursions round the
waters of the Narragensett bay, and sometimes take
u to the domains Of Neptune.

prisoners, and the Burmese commissioners
PROMISED that the whole of the British and
American subjects should be liberated and
sent to the British head quarters withoutd de-
lay. The British dep~~dsd a ~cession Of
territory, and a sup(xs ruiuney to pay a part
of the expenses oftf4S tin. II does not ap-
pear that the promise ofsksrelcase of pris-
oners at Ava had been complied with. On
the contrary, when the King heard the
terms of peace demanded by the British, he
ordered them into close confinement. They
had previously, on the opening of the nego-
t%iations, been placed in an open garden Of
the King. A subsequent article from Ava,
says that the English, American and Arme-
Man prisoners had been in great distress
for want Of food, and that some of them had
died from trouble, broken hearts and i'll
usage.

Summary of News.

CONGRESS.-In Sens tie on the 18th inst. the
motion Of Mr.. Randolph submitted on a previous
day to rescind the two rules of the Senate, which
place the power Of appointing the committees, and
the supervision Of the Journal with the presiding
officer, was taken up when an interesting debate is
said to have ensued, in which the prerogatives Of the
Senate and duties of the Vice President were very
freely discussed. During the debate Mr.. Randolph
spoke in his usual sarcastic and erratic manner, and
was followed by Messrs. johnson of Kentucky,
Holmes Of Maine, Mills, Van Buren, and others, on
the same side Of the question.
In the course Of this debate the Vice President
considered himself called upon to participate, and
spoke at some length, and in the course Of his re-
marks very modesty informed the Senate that hsv-
ing been elected to the office lie held by the people,
he did not hold himself amenable for any acts Of his
to the Senate, and went on to say that he had dis
charged his duties with industry and fidelity. The
motion Of Mr.. Randolph was decided in the afirma-
tive.
The Judiciary Bill passed the Senate on the 18th
inst. and was sent back to the House of Representa-
tives for its concurrence in the amendment changing
the arrangement of the several circuits, and on the
same day the Senate concurred in the resolution fix
ing the day OF adjournment ON the I'd May next,
at which time the present session will expire.

In a late speech delivered by WEBSTER, he paid
the following merited compliment to Mr.: CLAY -
If, said he, it be meant that by his [Mr. Clay'sl
love Of civil liberty, he had been led 10 regard the
condition of these new nations at an earlier period
than any other gentleman; or if he had displayed
greater sagacity, in forseeing the results OF their
glorious struggle for independence if it be meant,
that it had devolved on him to lead the willing and
the unwilling, to direct their sympathies to these
nations, and to welcome them into the family OF
nations ; if this be meant, then he is the most for
tuhate Of men. He has identified himself with a
course as glorious, as its character will be ever
lasting in its consequences. If, in this free country
ha was the first to hail kindred freedom; if in this
wise country he was the wisest ; if in this gallant
country, he was gallant, the earliest in bringing for
ward these States into the circle Of liberty, he has
accomplished fame enough it will last as long as
they last. His reputation may be envied by the
most exalted, II this be impolitic, God grant that
I had suffered it! this be wickedness, God grant
that had exhibited it,"
