and peace, many formed Of materials, such a.
glass and earthenware, capable OF lasting tor in

lation of wrecked vessels IN the bed of the sea.
From an examination Of Lloyd's lists, from the
year 1898 TO the commencement of 1929, it has
appeared that the number of British vessels
alone lost during that period amounted, on an
average, to no less than one and half daily,
greater number than we should have anticipated,
although we learn from Moreau's tables that the
number Of Merchant vessels employed at one
time in the navigation of England and Scotland,
amounts to about 10000. having one with an
other mean burthen Of l20 tons. Out OF 551
ships of the Royal Navy lost to the country du.
eing the period above mentioned, only l6O were
taken or destroyed by the enemy, the rest ha-
wing either stranded or foundered, or having
been burnt by accident-a striking proof that the
dangers Of our naval warfare, however great,
may be far exceeded by the storm, the hurricane,
the shoal, and all other perils Of the deep.
"Millions Of dollars and other coins have been
sometimes submerged in single ship, and on
these, when they happen to be envslOPed 10 a

changes, much information Of historical interest
will remain inscribed, and endure for periods as
indefinite as have the delicate markings OF ZOO

moreover, there are some precious stones set in

TO THE EDITORS or THE ENQUIRER
GENrLEMEN:-In your paper OF the 18Th November,
observe correspondent in giving an account Of the
Northampton election, for the Electors of President and
Vice President, makes the assertion that the people
the county would much prefer Judge Barbour for the
Vice Presidency, IL they satisfied or even thought
there probability Of his elections; and they were
much divided how they should vote until his letter
to Mr. Giliner arrived This assertion has created with
me and others no small degree Of SURPRISE certain
W incorrect, and should be permitted TO remain I'M
coniradicted Even anterior TO the Baltimore Convention,
public opinion here, far il could be collected was
decidedly in favor of Mr. Van Buren, Since that Con-
veDton there has been but kotcn advocate Of Bar
bours elecon-by known advocate, mean one who pub
icy avowed his opinion iearessy appeal to the people
OF Northampton for this truth. Those few who anterior
to the Convention had expressed preference for Bar
bour, gave him up after the and n;,e
the other friends OF the President in the support of Van
Buren,, with the above exception l boldly hazard
the asserton that had Barbour been before the people
Northampton. he would have received one dozen
votes No real friend Of the President could look TO the
possible consequences Of divided ticket without alarm;
and In Northampton the Jackson spirit OF that TEN
per TO insure an overwhelming vote TO Mr. Van Buren,

yeracity OF your correspondent He has seen through
false medium, and has been misled by his Barbour

SWEET HOME.-By Rep. j. NJ Madiu.


This world with its glory, and all We hold dear,
Now shining N beauty must soon disappear -
But moment they glitter, then fade to the eye,
Like meteors Of night that fash over the sky;
Home -home-sweet home.
There's no place Like home.
Though pleasures rich clusters now temptingly
glow,
In the frost ofthe grave, no flowers shall grow
And homes that we love, deserted become,
And fond ones We cherished, shall sleep in the
tomb;
Home e--home- sweet, sweet homo!
There's no place like Home.
Then give me home, far up in the skies,
Where hope never withers- where love ne yer
dies;
The Home Of the Christian, whore pilgrims are
blest,
And the exies Of earth forever shall rest.
Home-home sweet home
There's no place like Home.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1832-03-27

"No, sir, am the mate, and learn
you are desrous of passage to Jamai-
ca" This was spoken in broad Scotch
accent.
'Yes, we do said l, in very great as
constituent but we will not sail with the
devil and who ever saw negro Scotch
man before the spirit of Nichol Jarvis
conjured into blackamoor's skin
The fellow laughed. Il am black as
you see, so were my father and mother
before me- And he looked at me, as
much as to say. have read the book you
quote from. But was born in the good
town of Port Glasgow, Notwithstanding,
and many voyage have made as cabin
boy and cook in the good ship Peggy
Boyle, with worthy old Jack Hunter: but
that matters not. was told you wanted
to 60 to Jamaica; dare say that our
captain will take you for moderate pas
sage money. But here he comes to speak
for himself-Capt. Vanderbosh, here are
two ship-wrecked British officers, who
wish to be put on shore on the east end
of Jamaica, will you take them, and what
will you ask for their passage?'
The man he spoke TO was nearly as
tall as himself; he was sunburnt, angu-
lar, rawboned, iron visaged veteran, with
a nose IN shape and color like the bowl
of his own pipe, but not at all according
to the received idea, like Dutchman.
His dress was quizzical enough-white
trowsers, a long tapped embroidered
waiscoat, that might have belonged to a
Spanish grandee with an old fashioned
French cut coat, showing the frayed
marks where the lace had been stripped
off, voluminous in the skirts, but tight in
the sleeves, which were so short as to
leave his large bony paws, and six inches
of his arm above the wrist, exposed. AL
together it fitted him like purser's shirt
on handspike.
Wy, for one hoandred toaler, ! will
land him safe in Mancheoneal Bay but
how shall We manage, williamson De
cabin was paint yesterday
The Scotch negro nodded. 'Never
mind, ! dare say the smell of paint won't
signify to the gentlemen
The bargain was ratified, we agreed
to pay the stipulated sum, and the same
evening, dropped down with the last of
the sea breeze.

EARTHoUAKEs.-Extr of a letter,

"During the last week we have had sew
eral shocks of earthquake-one of them
very severe. l was IN the street ;but as
sure you, l made my escape in hurry.
1t is no joke to observe houses toppling
over ones head. Ours, however, is
built of wood, and is therefore, in
measure free from danger. A ship ar
rived yesterday from Peru, bringing ac-
counts that Auen, a seaport town to lee
ward, is entirely destroyed. Not house
is left standing. Taena, an inland city,
is also much injured. Mr.W--felt
the same earthquake three hundred

The Turns Of the Pass;ons.--It may be
noted, that the enthusiasts of learning and
reverle have, at one time or another in their
lives, been, Of all the tribes of men, the
most keenly susceptible to love; their soil.
tude foeds their passion; and deprived, as
they usually are, Of the more hurried and We.
hement occupations Of life, when love is
once admitted to their hearts, their is no
counter-check to its emotions, and no
escape from its excitation. Aram, too, had
just arrived at that age when man usually
feels sort Of revulsion in the current Of his
desires. At that age, those who have hlth.
erto pursued love, begin to grow alive to am.
pleasures Of life, awaken from the dream, and
direct their desire 10 its interests. And in
the same proportion, they who till then have
wnstod the prodiRal fervors Of youth upon q
sterile soil; who have served Ampition, or,
like Arau,, devoted their hearts to Wisdom,
relax from their ardor, look back on the dc.
partod years with regret, and commence, in
their manhood, the fiery pleasures and deli.
youth. In short, ss 10 every human pursuit
QUESTION contains within itself the seed of
disappointment, 90 there 10 period of life
when we pause from the pursuit, and are
discontented with the acquisition. We then
look around us for something new-sgain
follow-snd are again deceived. Few men
throughout life are the servants to one dc j.
sire. When we gain the middle of the
bridge OF our mortality, different objects from
those which attracted 10 upward almost in.
varisbly lure us 10 the descent. Happy they
