BURIAL AT SEA.
RY s. G. GOODRICH.

BY s. G. GOODRICH. The shore hath blent with the distant skies, Der the bend of the crescent seas, And the gallant ship an her pathway flies, On the sweep Ofthe freshencd breeze. Oh! swift he thy flight, for dying guest Thou bearest o'er the pillow, And she fondIy sighs in her own blue West, To find a peaceful pillow. 'Tis vain-or her pulse is silent now, Her lip hath lost its breath, And a staange, sad beauty of the brow, Speaks the cold stroke of death. The ship heaves to, and the funeral rite Der the lovely form is said, And the rough mans cheek with tears is bright, As he lowers the gentle dead. The corse floats down alone-alone, To its dark and dreary grave, And the soul on frightened wing hath flown, To the world beyond the wave. 'Tisa fearful thing in the sea to sleep, Alone in a silent bed, 7Tisa fearful thing on the shoreless deep Ofa spirit world to tread. Bu, the sea hath rest in its twilight caves, To the weary pilgrim given, And the soul is blest on the peaceful waves Ofthe star lit deep of heaven.
  The ship again oer tine wide blue surge Like winged arrow flies, And the moan of the ssa is the only drge Where the lonely sleeper lies.
 WINTER. 'Twas not when early flowers were springing,
 When skies were sheen,
 And wheat was green, And birds of love were singing, That first loved thee, or that thou Didst fiji st the tender claim allow. For when the silent woods had faded,
 From green to yellow
 When fields were fallow, And the chang'd skies o'ershaded, My love might then have shared decay, :Or passed, with summer songs, away. 'Twas winter-cares and clouds were round m
 Instead of flowers,
 And sunny hours,
 When love unguarded found me, Mid wintry scenes my passion grew, And wntry cares have proved it true. Dear are the hours ofsummer weather,
 When all is bright.
 And hearts are light,
 And Love and Nature join together:- But stars from night their lustre borrow, And hearts are closer twined by sorrow.

counts from the theatre of war in the east,
there appears to be no relaxation of activity,
in the respective armies of the belligerents );
indeed, it is not improbable that the stand
ard of the prophet has been already unfurled
on the plains of Adrianople, with what re
suit few days will inform US.
The accounts from Odessa, which are to
the 9Th instant, state, that according to the
latest advices from Marasch, that General
Count Pahlen had penetrated to Siliaro 1--WE
suspect there must be mistake in the
name of this pace) and General Prince
Madatof' to the neighbourhood of Aidos.
The Russians were consequently sanguine
in their expectation of being enabled to
reach Adrianople before the termination of
the present campaign. The advices from
the frontiers of Moldavia, which are of the
10th instant, mention that a second army of
reserve, consisting, it is said, of 10000 men,
were in full march towards the prlncipalities
of the Danube. On the other hand accounts
had been received at Belgrade from Con-
stantinople, of the LIST inst. which state that
the camp of reserve at Adrianople had re-
ceived orders from the Sultan to march i'm
mediately upon Shumla. 1t was also under
stood at that date that the Sultan would i'm
mediately take the field at the head of the
corps d'armee which had been collected at
Terapia; the most active Preparations, ip-
deed, were making for his departure.
LoNnoN, July 81. The crops are every
where promising, and the barns and gran
aries are pretty well cleared, so that the
farmer may expect good and brisk de-
mand.
SPANISH EXPEDITION AGAINST Mexico.
Capt. Chrothers, of the schr. Spartan, who
arrived here yesterday evening in IL days
from Havana, reports that few days be-
fore he sailed, all the transports which had
been engaged in conveying the Spanish
troops to the Mexican coast, with the excep-
ton of the Bingham, which had been driven
into New Orleans, had returned. Capt. c.
conversed with the captains of the trans
ports, many of whom were Americans, who
informed him that the troops had all safely
disembarked upon the Mexican soast-one
half the number within the bar Of Tampico,
and the rest were about six milesbelow the
city, amounting in the whole to $500 men.
Immediately after the landing of the troops,
a body of Mexican cavalry, to the number
of 400, marched down to the shore with the
colours of the republick fying-tut upon
approaching the encampment they hoisted
the Spanish flag and joined the invading
forces. The Spanish commander then pre-
scented to each of the soldiers deubloon,
and paid the amount of the arrears due them
by the Mexican government. Capt.C. also
reports that the schr. Hound, formerly of
Baltimore had been chartered BY the Span
ish authorities, and was to be despatched to
N. Orleans to transport to Tampict, the
troops of the vessel which had put in there.
The transports now at Havana had been re-
engaged to convey further supply of troops
to the coast of Mexico.-BGltimor Gaz

there are difficulties attending the princi-
pie set forth by them, which appear of no
trif1ing magnitude. The very frequent oc-
currence Of cases of murder, by persons
who have been addicted to incorporate hab-
its, makes it subject for serious and DELHI
crate inquiry and much is depending on
proper settlement of the principle upon
which decisions should be made in such ca
ses. On the one hand innocent blood ought
not to be condemned /; on the other, guilty
blood ought not to be unpublished. We
earnestly hope the subject will undergo a
thorough investigation, by some of our pro-
fessional readers of the bench and bar, and
of the medical practice; and wish with one
of our esteemed correspondents, "that they
would settle the laws of the land, so that
we, poor water drinkers, may know, pre-
cisely, how long a man having the delirum
tremens, must wait, after he has drank hlni-
self into that situation. before he may MUIR
der us with impunity."
Delirium trenens aud mania pot'', are medi-
cal names given to the same disease,--a peculiar
arrangement consequent upon habits Of intemper-
ance, and which is sometimes comfortable by judi
cious medical treatment, and sometimes terminates
in death.

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. Is.

~ The latest foreign news we have
was brought by the ship Corinthian, arrived
at New-York from England, London papers
to July 81, have been received.
The Russians have gained victory over
the Turks, in Asiatick Turkey. The action
was the result of the Advance of the Turks
against the Russian General. The battle
could not be in any measure decisive of the
campaign, as $4,000 troops under the Seras-
kier we're at no great distance in the rear,
and the Russians did not advance after the
battle, which took place in the defiles of
Poztow. Onthe European side, the Rus
SLAMS are fairly south of the Balkan noun
tains, beyond which the country is undula-
ting, not mountainous, to Constantinople.-
AS they are within sixty miles of Adriano-
pie, the principal fighting will probably be
in the intermediate country.
Adrianople is 113 miles w. N. w. of
Constantinople. 1t is the chief city of Ro-
mania, with population exceeding 100000
inhabitants. 1t is surrounded with walls
and towers; it contains a mosques, and ex-
tensive gardens, and the adjacent country,
which is fertile, is esteemed the best wine
country in Europe.

MAINE ELECTION. The election of
GOVERNOR of the State of Maine took
place yesterday, and we are heartily re-
ioiced that the affair is over. We have al
most been sickened in opening the papers
that have of late come to our office from
that State, for they have been filled with
the bitterest abuse ofthe respective candi-
dates for the office of Governour, express
ed in the harshest language. The larg-
est, and indeed principal, measure of VEN
ON however has been poured upon the
head of Mr.. Hunton, who it seems, is
the candidate of the late administration
party in that State. His private character
has been assailed in language that we will
spare our readers the disgust of looking at.
So far has this been carried that the citi-
zens of the town where he resides, Read
field, have been induced to call publick
town-meeting, and unanimously passed
resolutions expressing their opinion Of his
!" ability, integrity, and moral worth"
Judge Smith is the other candidate of
him but little has been said. The princi-
pal hostility to him seems to be, that he
was put up in opposition to the regularly
nominated candidate, and that, while he
retains his seat on the bench, he ought not
to suffer himself to be put in nomination.
If any thing is to be the early destruc-
ton of our political institutions, we scarce
ly know what would effect it more speed
