LORD BYRoN's PoEMs.-There are in this
world, a few Doctor Cantwells, who, to weave
themselves into the good graces Of all kinds of
men; struggle to retrieve their lost fortunes
at the expense of The credulity of the pious and
BENEVOLENT.
II was no sooner announced in this country
that Mr.. Thomas Moore, the celebrated Irish
Poet, was preparing for the press, The Life Of
Lord Byron, than il vas suggested by some CT
the admirers the "greatcst of British bords, +"
that it would be advisable to publish two cam
tos Of Don Juan, written by him, whilst in
Greece, and in continuation Of the former can
tos. To this suggestion, some of the Can't
wells have dissented, and whilst they have
sounded the alarm drums, and fourishcd the
trumpets, have pronounced the unpublished
cantos, base forgeries, uttered anathemas, and
piously prayed, that the poems might not be
given to the world
As to the unpublished cantos, it is proper 10
say in relation 20 them, that they are known
to be the real productions Of Lord Byron,
and those who have paid the least attention to
modern literature, ought to know that they are
genuine. They yet exist in manuscript, but a
few of the stanzas have been occasionally pub
lished, and from the extracts we have seen, we
are prepared to say, that they are strictly genu-
inc, and are worthy Of the Muse Of the cele-
brated and noble bard. We hope they will be
published, that every thing that has flown from
the pen Of Byron, may be given to the world.
We are free to admit, that there are certain
passages in the published cantos of Don Juan,
which might as well have been omitted; but
that those poems are in tho least calculated to
dcmoralize the world, is a proposition to which
we shall not yield our assent. They par;ake
largely Of the freedom Of thought and express
ion, and show that tho mob authors mind
was not trammcllcd by supersttious notions
and that he was not disposed 10 be ruled by
those, who mako great professions to pie,y, and
who are equally as sinful as the rest of the
fallen race. II is for this, that we admire the
author and his poems, and we hope that the
two cantos which we have alluded to, may be
speedily published we do most sincerely
hope, that the memory and the genius Of By
ron may not be traduccd, by the hyporritical
cant, and unmoanng mummery, that is daily
uttered by those who profess to be exceeding
ly pious, whilst at the same moment, they are
engaged in tho pcrperation Of acts, which se'
decency at defiance, and trample upon all the
rules Of morality.

From the Liverpool advertiser, AprI IL.
Cotton There has been good demand for
Cotton throughout the week, and as holders
have shown less inclination to press sales the
market has become sitter, and in some instan-
ces American descriptions have obtained an

whilst Brazil and East Indies are rather lower.

Presidential Election, was the Editor Of one Of
the most virulent papers then opposed to Mr..
Adams, and the jealous friend and advocate Of
Mr. Crawford. At the commencement of his
new. publication, Mr.. Danforth still smarting
under the injuries he had sustained, whilst ad-
vocating the cause Of Mr.. Crawford, avowcd
that his publication should not take any part
in the politics Of the day, but as his hostility to
Mr.. Adams, still ranked in bis bosom, he could
not make his pledges good, and in little time
he assumed the part Of an anti-administraton
editor. II is true, he did not como out the
violent friend Of the Tcnnesscan candidate; but
it has been discoverable throughout the whole
of his conduct, that any body rather than Mr..
Adams, has been his favorite. II is not more
than two months since his paper conveyed TO
the world one of the scverest attacks that has
thus far been made upon Mr.. Adams, his Cabi-
net, and the Administration; and although Mr..
Danforth was not the author OF it, but copied
il from the writings of another Editor, he gave
to it his entire and unequivocal assent, and
adopted the sentiments il breathed.

A NEGRO MANA negro man, apparently
Of the age of thirty five or forty, on Wednes-
day, last took his stand at the corner Of fHawes'
Building, Market-Square, and with claspcd
hands and eyes upturned, and head uncovered,
stood there for four or FIVE hours, as fixed and
mmoveable as an Egyptian Pyramid. He
seemed TO be lost in meditation or devotion -
he spoke not, and noticed not the objects that
passed, and surrounded him. Curious to ascer-
tain the motives that induced conduct so sin
gular, we, without wishing "to intrude," ask
why he did not remove himself from a stua-
ton which rendered himself exceedingly vexa-
tious 70 the passenger. Without turning his
hoad, he spoke, and tear trickled down his
sable check as hc noticed us, and replied
dear young masters, am looking towards the
heavens, and am waiting for my Lord and
heavenly master, to speak comfort TO my soul,
for I am very wicked, and he has promised to
pardon all W ho come to him with meek and
contrite hearts and ask forgivcness.--A re-
ply so readily and Unexpectedly given, salts
fed our curiosity, and we left the conscience
stricken African to indulge in his medhations
Some two hours longer, he retained his posi-
ton, and then, hastily turning from the spot, +,
went to his home, satisfied that his sins had
been forgiven him.
Although the poor fellow was evidently Ia
bouring under superstitious fears, created b.
some self-condemning act, there was something
in him which was irrcsisiibly Interesting, and
though negro, he commanded our pity and
commscration. Who he was we know not,
nor was he known to any of the spectators,
whose curiosity was elected by the singularity
Of his conduct.

GJ-THE BATH HOUSE, is now opened for
the reception of visitors. At this season, moth
ing is more conducive to the health than a
bath;-it has been re recommended by the most
eminent Physicians, as emInently conducive to

of bathing, are capable of apprcciating its util-
ity. We understand that the proprietor, has
made considerable additions to his establish
ment, and that ample arrangements have been
made to please all who visit him.
