PEELED 40 say another word on the subject of
the drama performed on Sunday evening last,
in which he was the principal actor; but as
some injudicious friend Of that gentleman has
deemed it proper to revive statements, which
were suffered by us to die away, we are now
constrained TO speak once more on the sub
ject, however painful our remarks may be 10
Captan Bunker
The statement we made in our paper Of last
! Wednesday, we declare to be correct, and we
challenge Captain Bunker to contradict il,
and we assure him, and those who have
attempted to screen him from animadversion,
that they shall be met with prompt and sat
isiactory refutation.
AS to the individuals, who were in the sail
boat, and who suppicated for relief, we knew
nothing of them at the time but as some pains
have been taken, by the friends ofthe agrees
sor to make the public believe that they were
negroes, and consequently by their construction
of the rules and principals of humanity, not
entitled to the protection of white man, we
have ascertaned their names, and their stand
ing in life; and we find that they are poor,
but highly respectable people, whose conduct
is beyond reproach.
Several Of them we have seen. and thew have
authorized us TO say, that the statement we
made was correct, and they are prepared
and willing to swear to its CORE ectness
whenever they are called upon to do so.
we have been melted TO action by
love ofjustice, and from disposition to correct
abuses, which are too fragrant to be allowed,
and which shall not transpirc without being
noticed and condemned, whilst we possess the
power of writing, and conducting a public
Press. We beheld ten or twelve individuals
amid the darkness of midnight, denied protec-
tion by him who had the power of Welding il:
we saw individuals denied the. common
claims of humanity, and thus beholding it
could not be silent. As for Capt Robert s.
Bunker, commander of the Steam Boat Full
ton, we have known him for some wears. ms n
commander of Steam Boat, and as such We
have heretofore esteemed him an efficient
Captain, and gentleman and we must
confess, that his conduct on the occasion in
ausion, was so decidedly contrary to that
which we expected from him, that we were
utterly astonishcd. Our respect for him, did
not, however, overcome our sense Of Justice
and duty, and we unhesitatingly laid the affair
before the public.
We have in our possession statement Of
the facts Of the aforementioned affair, signed
and sworn to by five of the persons who were
on board the unfortunate sail boat--the other
persons who were on beard, are now absent
from town, else we would offer their evidence
in support of the case. The statement may
be seen by any person, whose curiosity or in
terest may lead them to inquire into the merits
of this case; and, if necessary, we will issue i,
this day in handbill.

POETRY.
FOR THE GARLAND,
DEATH.

Pale King of Terrors awful in thy dark
Mysterious tyranny DER human hearts
Thou queer Of the lofty spirit, that dost crush
The proud aspiring and the hope sublime
OF the strong mind 0, thou hast often thrown
The shadows of thy awful power DER me,
And passed before my swimming eye that lost
Distinguishing perception in wild fear,
Like an outblazng comet hurled along
Iillmtable expansion, mid the gloom
Shedding lurid grandeur but to show
The ruin of its pathway BY the light
OF the sepulchral eye, have behed
The boiling chaos of unbounded thought,
Where trultess hopes and wishes toss ill lost
ln fears that herald madness and the springs
OF the vast universe have been revealed
And all the hidden glories of the world
But what avaed the knowledge Twas in vain
My spirit scared on its ETHEREAL way;
However wide the range or high the flight,
Or bright the beauty of my kndling soul,
Still came the thought that could not be dispell'd
One little hour of intellectual pride
Aud conscious greatness, and the spirit leaves
Its image in the dust o have hoped
That it might not be so-and | have PRAYED
But doubted still, and doubt brought forth despar
And many woes ;-thro' every shape of strife
And all degrees I've rang'd and mark d them well,
In highest admiration of the ONE,
Whose wisdom wrought and fashioned TO form
The beautiful aspect of this lower world;
And have bowed in humble faith and prayed
In utter agony to know the fate
Hereafer-but in vain no voice was heard
Mid the unbreathng awe of yon dark heaven

BY HENRY NEELE, ESQ.

"Oh pale is that cheek,
Where the rose fiourished brigh
And cold is that heart
Which beat warmly and lightly
And that lip have chung to
The loathsome newt presses
And the cold earth-worm strays
Mid these dark flowing tresses.
Yes, the earth-worm's the lover
That twines round thee now;
The rank grass waves over
That Overwhelming brow;
The night wind is signing
Its dirge DER thy head
And the screech-owl replying
In shrieks for the dead.
Yet thy soft image never
My bosom forsakes;
For thee my heart ever
Shall beat till it breaks.
This wreath am braiding
To deck thy grave stone
Oh would it were shedding
Its leaves DER my own !"

TRIAL OF THE THREE PIRATES.

fronsthe Richmond Compiler ulv2o.
We have already stated the names of the Pirates,
the number Of Indictments, the separate days of
their trials, and the uniform verdicts of Guilty. We
have now to sketch in a very rapid manner. some
Of the most striking points OF the evidence. 1t was
so conclusive, that their counsel did not pretend to
Defend or the U. s. Attorney to make an argument
against them.
The Indictment of Piracy was the only one tried ;
the u. S. Attorney deening that this one would
be sufficient to bring out all the particulars Of the
horrible butcherv. The evidence was pretty much
the same in all three cases and we shall therefore
groupe them together.
Mr.. Edmund Dobson, the master Of tic brig
Crawford, stated that after she had discharged her
cargo at the Matanzas, some foreigners offered
themselves as passengers--the first who sgnlIled
his intention was Tardy, who remained on board
for several days while the vessel was taking In her
return cargo---about three days before sailing he
brought ON board box, said to contain money
what become of this box did not positively appear,
though the cook had told the mate, it had been re-
moved TO Felix's cabin before they left the bay OF
Matanzas. He sailed on the 28th May.
On the list of June, at breakfast, Tardy helped
the witness to some fried eggs and bacon, and cho-
coate-Soon after, he was taken very sick, and FAR
dy was called in to- prescribe 10 him-but Robinson
the supercargo, advised Mr. Dobson to have nothing
to do with his medicine-and he determined to defer
them until the next morning. The same evening,
Mr.. Robinson ntimated to him his suspicion Of Far
dy's attempting to poison them all.-He laid down
on the deck till about midnight, when DoVer' one
of the seamen, come to relieve the man at the helm.
He fell asleep, but was awakened between | and :
O'Clock, by extraordinary noise. Running forward,
he was severely stabbed in the shoulder by man
with knife He then pushed to the other side of the
vessel, where he found Porter, a seamen who told
him he had been stabbed and asked him if they could
get no assistance. After short time he mounted
the shrouds, where he found Deliver and Porter both
severely wounded Deliver told him, that Fardy
had come to the helm, and suddenly cut him badly
in the throat and took the helm from him. Whilst
at the mast head, witness heard Robinson and Ma
than in the water-knew them by their voices
they were imploring assistance; Tut none was given;
and the Spaniaras even attempte,. to plunge har-
pooh or some such weapon into Nathan. The two
unhappy men were soon exhausted and sunk to rise
no more. The witness also heard two other bodies
