NORRIS BEaBEcK.-The life of this dstin-
guished gentleman is now in the London
Press, and will be speedily published. 1t IS
from the pen of the daughter of that gentle
man, and may be considered correct. Mr..
Berbeck, in the year 1916, migrated to the
west, where he purchased large tract Of
land, in the State Of Illinois, and commenced
speculation, which if it did not produce any
particular benefit for others, was productive Of
the most Hatterng and solid results to the un-
dertaker. His settlement on the Wabash, was
a very extensive one, and was at one time in a
flourishing state, and induced many emigrants
from England to visit it, whese many Of them
settled, and formed kind ofa distinc, commu-
nity. To induce emigration, Mr.. Berbeck, in
the year 1919, wrote an interesting book. con-
faiped in u series Of Letters, which was pub
lishsd, and had no inconsiderable run, in this
country and England. In the year 1929 a.
Mr. Berbeck, was appointed Secretary of State
of the State Of Illinois, and whilst in tie dis
charge of his official duties, was unfortunately y
drowned in attempting to cross one OF the
many rivers which chequer that fertile sectior
of the Union. He was man Of handsome
talents. which had been literally cultivated
was modest and courteous in his demeanour
and won the respect Of those who visited hi
settlement. In his project, he was seconded
by an English capitalist named Flower, bu
some misunderstanding having taken place be
! tween them. they dissolved the compact an
Mr.. Flower returned to England. Berbeck'
settlement, we believe, is now quite populous
: and the lands are in an advantageous state o
1 cultivation.

A NIGHT IN JUNE.

Night steals upon the world, the shades
With silent flight are sweeping down
To steep as Days last glory fades
In tints Of blue the landscape brown;
The wave breaks not--1ecp sumber holds
The dewy Icaves-the night-wind folds
Her melancholy wing and sleep
Is forth upon the pulseless deep.
The willows mid the silent rocks
Are broodlng o'er the waters mild.
Like fond mothers pendant locks,
Hung sweetly o'er her sleeping child;
The flowers that fringe the purple stream,
Are sinking to their evening dream,
And Earth appears a lovely spot,
Where Sorrows voice awakens not.
But see. such pure, such beautiful
And burning scenes awake to birth
In yon bright depths, they render dull
The lovelies tnts, that mantle Earth!
The Heavens are rolling blue and fair,
And the soft ngit-gems clustering there
Seem as on high they breathe and burn
Bright blossoms o'er Days shadowy urn.
At this still hour, when starry songs
Are floating through Nights glowing noon,
How sweet to view those radiant throngs
Glitter around the throne Of June
To see them, in their watch of love,
Gaze from the holy heavens above,
And in their robes of brightness roam,
Like Angels DER the eternal dome!
Their light is on the Orean isles,
IT'S trembling on the mountain stream,
And the fur hills beneath their smiles
Seem creatures of a blessed dream!
Upon the deep their glory lies
As if untreasured from the skies,
And comes soft flashing from its waves,
Like sea-semS from their spaHy caves
Why gaze I thus tits worse than vaini
Twas here | gazed III years gone by,
Ere Life's cold winds had brcathed one stain
On Fancy's rich and mellow sky;
| fcel-I feel those early years
Deep thrilling through the fount of tears,
And hurryng brightly, wildly back
O'er Memory's deep and burning track
Twas here gazed the night bird still
| Pours its sweet song-the starlight beams
Still tinge the flowers and forest hill
And music gtIshes from the streams;
But am changed! feel no more
The snless joys, that charmed before
And the dear years so far departed,
Come but to "mock the broken hearted"
hDout TWO or thfce "eehs since, we received
a note from I1r. Prentice, informing US, that he
had forwarded two manuscript poems, and en-
qured why they were not published. In reply
to his note, we regret to say, that they never
reached US, and assure him, if they had come
to hand, they would have been gladly publish
ed ere this, and would have graccd the columns
Of our paper. We hope he will be prevailed
upon to give us copies Of the poems, as soor
as convenient.

u The WAKErIELDs.-- BY reference to
our foreign news, it will be seen, that the two
Wakefelds, charged with the abduction of
Miss Turner, have been convicted Of felony,
and sentenced to Newgate, a very proper pun
ishment for their crimes, though it is by no
means certain, that others were not as deeply
involved in the infamy Of the affair as them
se'vss.At any rate the punishment is perfectly
proper, and We are glad it has been inflicted.

BEAUFORT T. WATTS
This letter has been snecred at by the oppo,
siton party, who would make it an admins
tration affair; and they have charged Mr.
Watts, with having performed an extra-oflicial
act. The writer undoubtedly knew what he
was about, previous to his addressing the letter
to Bolivar; and in doing %, undoubtedly cx-
rected to meet the hearty cooperation of his
countrymen, who have so long beheld the
Washington of South America, traduced by a
band of unprlncipled fevilers. Such evidences
Of the confidence Of distinguished Americans
in the patriotism of Bolivar, arc quite sufficient
to cut off tho calumnies es that have been circu.
lated respecting him, by band of irresponsi.
bic, unaccredited, and malignant, desperate
adventurers and renegadoes.
