From the W. York Mirror
BURIAL OF BoNAPARTE.
In the lonely vale the warriors tomb
Is made where the widows wave
No blackened funeral brings its gloom,
But laundering cannon echo boom
Whilst martial banners and soldiers brave
Crowd to the mighty warriors grave.
Son of Ambition! though thou vert the foe
Of Europe's united bands,
Thy heart knew valor's brightest glow,
Whenever thou struck twas giants blow.
Thou shackled the might of thousand hands
And dared to have conquereda thousand lands.
Thou built up thy tomb in the span of thy life
Thy death the wild comet foretold
Tho peace and thy hot heart for ever were rife
Tho thy mind best pleased in the wild battles
strife
Thy pride was fair sciences page to unfold
To cherish the arts and enshrine them in gold.
Rest, spirit of fire in the lonely vale
Where the willows lightly wave
For thee shall Gallia's soldiers wall,
Shall tell thy wild deeds in many tale
Aud pay the last need to the once proud brave
In the lonely vale, DER the warriors grave

date, a Mr.. Mason, soon found that the

his chance of success was hopeless, un-

right hand, but he thinks that left-hand

The hall was soon in an uproar. and so
exasperated were they with the insult

native Than to give them righ;-handed

the latter he was enabled to BIZ the as

quence was that he lost his election.

IMPORTANT. So Boring for Wnter-Mr.
Levi Disbrow, of New-Bruuswick, in
this State, has been employed for two
years past, in obtaining pure and whole
some water by means of boring. The
Fredonian of last Wednesday, in men
tioning Mr.. Disbrow's performances, OBJ
serves, We have personal knowledge
of the complete success of several of
his experiments in this city and neigh
borhood; and, from theses we see no
reason 10 doubt that he can procure wa
ter in almost any situation" 10 an adj
vertisement in the same paper, Mr.. ID.
refers the public TO the following exam
pies of his succe.s, viz -" One we'll,
bored for Mr.. John II. Bostwick, for the
use OF his distilery. in New-Brunswick,
N. j. ITO feet deep; one well for Mrs.
Mary Griffith, near New. Brunsw ok, ITO
feet deep; one well for John N. Simp-
son, Esq. for the use of the New-Bruns-
wick distillery, 176 feet deep; one we'll
in Dunham's alley, for the use Of the
citizens Of New Brunswick, 1870 feet
deep ; one well at Jersey City, opposite
New York, for the use Of distillery,
occupied by j. & C. L. Strong, 140 feet
deep" All Of the above wells, MIR. d.
says, have produced pure and whole
some water; and, in most of them, the
water rises to considerable height
above the surface, without the aid of
pump, or other machinery. A number
of other borings, under the direction OF
Mr.. d. are now usher operation in New
York, Baltimore, Alexandria, and other
places. In the present time of drought,
we hope our citizens will give this plan
of obtaining supply of water due con-
| sideration.

BLACKSTONE CANAL.

BLACKSTONE CANAL.
At the Annual Meeting of the Black
stone Canal Company, held at the
Franklin House in Providence, on We'd
nesday the 4th inst.
The Treasurer submitted report by
which it appears that the receipts into
the Treasury have been about 10000
dollars, and the payments therefrom
about 81 900 dollars.
The Board of Canal Commissioner
presented their report, from which il APP
pears that the previous engagements OF
the Engineer did not permit him 10 en-
ter upon the duties of his appointment
until the last Of August, which in some
measure retarded the progress Of the
work. Since that period the levels
from Underwater at Providence to the
north line of the State have been taken
anew, and the Canal route marked out
the whole distance from tido-water to
Woonsokett Falls, with two or three in
considerable exceptions. -The Commits.
sioners have made contracts, for the
excavation and embankment Of the
whole distance from the Power road in
the north part Of Providence, 10 the
line OF The State, excepting two or three
sections OF half mile east where the
route is not yet located, and it is a pro-
