Byron's Ode 10 Napoleon. is true that the
greatest poets of modern times are indebted to
the inspired writings OF the prophets for some of
the most sublime and beautiful images. Even
some of Byron's mist poetical ideas we're taken
from the Scriptures. Miss Jewsoury, in her
Letters 70 the Young enumerates several in
stances--the most remarkable Of which is the
commencement Of his beautiful Ode TO Napole
on which has been universally admired.
lis past-but yesterday King,
And armed with kings to strive,
And now thou art nameless thing;
So abject, yet alive
Is this man Of thousand thrones,
Who strewed the earth with hostile bones,
And can he thus survive?
Since he miscalled the morning star,
Nor man nor 6end hath fallen so far
This is altogether taken from the prophet Isaiah's
ode on the fall Of Sennacherib, the Napoleon of
Babylon:-
- He who smote the people in his wrath with
continual stroke, is prosecuted, and none him
dreth. How art thou fallen from Heaven, Oh!
l.ucifer, son Of the morning!-how art thou cut
down TO the ground, which did weaken nations!
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,
and consider thee, sayiug:-ls this the man that
made the earth to tremble-that did shake king
doms-that made the world as a wilderness!"

BOSTON, august L.
Hail Storm We had yesterday afternoon a
heavy shower Of rain, mixed with bail, aud &C
companied with distant lightning. The rain fell
for short time very fast. aud 80 water ran in
torrents through some Of the streets, and inunda-
ted others. Most of the city was thoroughly
washed. The hail stones were not heavy enough,
rs far as we observed, to do any damage.
The shower was attended by sudden and
very heavy squal. We are informed by a
person who was in boat in the harbor at the
time, that when it first came On, he saw six boats
at no great distance from his own. The gale
lasted but few minutes, and when it had pass.
Cd, these boats were no longer to be seen. He
ascertaincd that three of them were taken up,
and towed in; the cres Of one Of which had been
taken off by boat, sent for the purpose from
South Boston; that of second consisted Of eight
persons, one of whom, Mr.. Thomas Farmer, Of
this city, was drowned, and the others were TAX
ell off BY schooner; the fate of the crew of
the third boat was not known to our informant.
In one Of the other boats were man and woman
only. This boat was near Governors Island.
1t il impossible to ascertain with accuracy the
extent of this calamity. There are various re-
ports in circulation, but we have not been able to
ascertain on what authority they rest We have
understood that a boat containing four men and
three women, probably one of those mentioned
above. was upset, and all abuard persisted.
A new frame house was blown down at South
Boston.
