 Monsieur Chanbert was Captain in the service of Napoleon.

I T TUIH NIIV T UhEII IWI I0"-s OPENING OF THE SIXTH SEAL

BY THOMAS GRAY, JUN.
 Aud eaeid 4ehe he opened the srtL seaiRev vi 18th I stood above the mountains and saw The unveiled features of eternity. Lreeled The 4frighted earth did quake. The mountains And lhavod their deep foundations to the day. The islands melted in the sea. The rocks Toppld, and fell Tn fragments. Lightning shot A ferj glare athwart the ruined world. Chaosreturued again. Tn extinguished sun Hung black and rayess in the midnight air. The noon became as blood And one by one The everlasting stars of heaven did fall. Even as the fig-tree, shaken by the wnd Drops her untimely fruit. All light was dead. The heavens--th' eternal heavens themselves, tha
 stretched
 Shroud-like above the earth, were rent in twain, And vanished like scroll togetherrolled. And men did Sny strain their aching gaze Into the lurd gulf, that mocked the space, The yawning space of the departing sky.
 The city wasa desert Men aghast Fled from theirrocking habitations out Into the fields, that gaped and swallowed them. The prisoner sfurned his earihquake-riven chain, And flung in horror his freed arms to heaven. And men dd cast themselves upon the earth, And hid tler faces; and they prayed-and died. The living and the dead together lay; The frantic mother, and the perished child And men did grovel in the parching dust Gfawifg like serpents Der their kindred dead. The crowned head, the lowIy and the proud. The rici. the brave, the mighty bond and free. 1rembed and hid themselves and shiyerina 3rept Into tht dens and mountain-caves and rocLs; And in heir mortal horror, lifted up On hIehthelr hollow voices and they nraved fe mountains fall on us-and ve, oh rocks! Hide usTay. crush us from the face of Him Who slteth on the throne, and from the Lamb. Tor. 10 his day of vengeance is arrived, And who can hope to stand ?

American English Dictionary.-The following is an extract from letter of Sir Herbert Croft, addressed to the Princess Royal of England, and printed in quarto in 1797 Whether his opinions may be call ed prophecy conjecture, let the possessor of Web ster's Dictionary judge. The passage is worthy of notice in the United States:
 "The further history of the other three quarters of the world, will probably be much affected by the Americans, such being the language of Engand.@,. The natives write the language particularly well considering they have dictionary yet, and how n- sufficient Johnson'ss. Washingtons speeches seldom exhibited more than word or two liable to the least obection and from the style of his publications, as much, or more accuracy may be expected from his successor, Adams. Perhaps we are, just now, not very far distant from the precise moment for some grand attempt with regard to fixing the standard of our language (no language be fxed) in America. Such an attempt would think, succeed in America, for the same reasons that would make it fail in Eng land; whither, however it would communicate its good effects Deservedy immortal would be that patroton either side of the Atlantic who should suc- ceed iu such an attempt"

MEMPHIS, Oct 12.-BOundary line bet,ceen Me State 9 Mississippi and Iennessee-We take the earliest opportunity of announcing to the public that the latitude of Memphis as determined by Mai J. llolbrook, commissioner the part of Mississippi, is $50 g AS. S. Ofcourse the line will intersect the Mississippi river between mine and ten miles south of Memphis.
 The instruments used were an astronomical cir. cle, sextant. and refectng circle, all made by 'rroughton of London and graduated, the first to fire seconds, and the other two toevey ten seconds The magniiying power of the telescope is about 60 times.-The satellites of Jupiter and their clpses can be distinctly seen and observed by them.
 From the high reputation, for scientific acquire mens, and general intelligence, which Mai. Hol- brook has obtained, have no doubt that the lati- lude of this place has been correctly taken by him, than it has hitherto been done by others; and we have as little doubt that the state of Mississippi will now abandon all claim to that portion of our territory which she has hitherto considered as being within her limits.
 Maj. Holbrook is accompanied by Cadet D. II. Turpin, of Jefferson College and R. T. Dunbar, Esq. Senator of the State of Mississippi.

The School Boys.-We have been delighted lately to notice the revival of the good old fashioned sport of "driving the hoop."-Our streets alive with trun- ders-boys of all ages and sizes, from the little ur- chin whose world is confined to the pavement of d single street. and who never loses sight ohis fathers dwelling, to the rowing first form boy, who spurns all boundaries and is ever pursuing voyages ofdiscovery
 into remote and unknown regions. Then it is so amusing to see the democratic rogues taking possess sion of the side walks and sweeping all clear before them The ladies scold, and the boys laugh; men threaten, but the lads push on regardless of hounces and furbelows, silk stockings white pants. It is somewhat annoying, to be sure; people not fond of hopping off and hopping on the pare, every few minutes to accommodate boys; but then who, that has not veruice enough in hls composition to acdulate an ocean ofbenevolence, can say to them nay! who would anticipate old time and cut down enjoyment
 in its blooml Not one unless he has lost all remem- brance of the past and forgotten the innocent pranks of his boyhood. Drive on, boys-never mind wear
 ing out your shoes, let who will pay for them. Ii will be your turn to pay next, and then you will probably give your boys as good advice as we have given you.-Boston Transcript.

Prince Talleyrand related to Me family of Stanley, Ea'is cf Derby.-The maternal grandmother of Prince Talleyrand was the Princess Orsins (a Prin: des Ursins the French styled her) who act. ed so distinguished part in the Court of Philip v. of Span and whose first husband, as it appears from "Archdeacon Coxe's History of the Bourbon Kings of Spain" was Adrian Blaise de Taeyrand, Prince of Chaais She was of the illustrious family of La Tremsuille, from which sprung the heroic Countess of Derby who in her husbands absence, defended Latham House against the Parliamentary forces un- der General Fairfax, in 1645. That the talents of the Princess Orsini have descended to her grand son, few will doubt; and it must also be allowed that he has inherited her courtly and ihsinhaling manners if not all her high spirit, her frankness, and her disnerested attachments Gar.
