Maid Of the bright and laughing eye!
How nv heart yearns to thee! Thy sweet smile
Throws gladness DER my dull. unchequer'd path
Like sunshine cast upon desert waste.
I've missed thee for time. aud then I've felt
How lonesome those must be who dare to hope
Thy favor, or to win and wear thy love-
Even he, who humbly kneels worsh,PPer
At Beauty's shrine, aud pours his soul out there,
Content to gaze upon the prize which must be
By other hands. pined in the solitude
Which thou had'st made, and wished thee back
again.
And now see thee! fresh and fair and bright!
The roseate hue upon thy cheek, health in thy
looks,
Joy in thy eye, peace and contentmeut on thy
brow;
And laughing loves, in fancy's view, are seen
Sporting around. among thy dark brown locks,
Shaking the tresses to the wanton breeze.
Thus may it ever be!
Nav peace and happiness attend thee ever!
Nav bliss supreme mark all thy youthful days,
And leave no thorn to rankle in thy heart
When years shall throw their sombre tint
Over life's scene-now lshtened up BY joy.

great personal beauty, happened to visit
the Sheriff's wife-Clough chanced to

he did not want TO hear any thing about

/ The annexed is an extract from pre-
vious letter:
"The venerable and respected mother,
and sister Of the deceased, and other le-
males and members Of the family, were
examined. As they severally turned to
look at the prisoner, he familiarly and
gracefully, but with a fixed and rather
4 gloomy countenance, inclined his head,
or bowed to them; and when the old Ia
dy, with the tears running down her
cheeks, turned quite round to look at him,
he instantly rose and bowed to her in
the most grave and respectful manner. -
The testimony was Of the most thrilling
and touching character. The description

ison--her amiable character-her pierc-
ing shrieks, and her death struggles,
while he held and pushed still deeper and
deeper, the murderous dirk into her bo
som, was truly affecting. But when the
trunk was opened and the blood-stained
dirk, the broken breast pin, her bloody
garments, and especially her corsets,
pierced with ten holes through that part
of it which had covered her left breast,
and stifIened and red with the cold blood
of her that had worn it, as if it had been
literally dyed in blood it seemed too
much for every one but the prisoner
He looked upon the bloody credentials
with steady, gloomy gaze, discovering
in his countenance, however, no internal
emotion, nor in the least changing his
position, which he uniformly occupies,
reclining on his elbow, and resting his
head on the palm of his hand, on which
he wears black glove. But the effect
Of this exhibition, followed up by the
ply sician's description Of her broken
ribs, and almost riddled heart and lungs,
produced gust Of feeling and emotion
in the crowded audience that could not
be suppressed. Every bosom swelled-I
every eye was sufused with tears-and
for few moments the invcstig alton was
suspended"

LITERARY JouRNAL.--The first number
of a new periodical, edited by Albert G.
Greene, Esq. bearing the above title,
was issued in Providence on Saturday,
the 9th inst. The Prospectus promises
that the Literary Journal shall embrace
in its pages, all the topics of interest to
which literary periodicals are usually de-
voted. The specimen offered comes I'M
TO the letter Of the Prospectus. Its exc
cution is highly creditable to the enter
prising publishers, Messrs. Knowles and
Vose, and with the efficient aid Of the
talented gentleman engaged as editor,
we do not doubt that abundant success
will crown their efforts.

my letters, to write you line respecting

you think? Had we better start? Yes,

eat our breakfast, you sit down and write
a line to old Mr. Lang, and tell him he
may expect to see us this day week, and
ask him to engage us rooms at the lar
gest house in New-York. want to 60
to the City Hotel, but the President
thinks Hollis House the best llowev-
er, says he, we wont quarrel about it
let Mr. Lang decide the question. If
you engage Hollis, tell him to get his
blacking machine in order, for the Pre-
sident always makes terrible rumpus
about his boots. The President asked
me the other day how should like to 60

wont fight, says l one Yankee is worth
two Dutchmen any day. Well, says he,
Just as you please about that; but Mr.
Van Buren, you know, is going to

on long ago. The General got little

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

i by the packet ship York, captain
Nye, London dates to the llth of May
and Portsmouth to the 18th, have been
received at New York. The most i'm
portant information communicated by this
arrival is the Treaty Of Peace between
the Pacha Of Egypt and the Sublime
Porte; and the Plan for the Gradual E.
Emancipation Of the Slaves in the West
Indies, which is about to be submitted to
Parliament by the British Ministry. by
the first, it will be seen that the Pacha
acquires the four Pachalics which were
comprised in ancient and modern Syria.
The last consists Of nine articles, and is
too long and complicated to be inserted
in this days paper. The general pur-
port Of it is, however, to substitute for
the present servitude Of the blacks reg
istered apprenticeship--givins 9 fourths
of the time to the master and one fourth
to the person apprentced--and to pro-
vide for the freedom of all male slaves
hereafter arriving at the age of "a years,

in this paper on the Sd inst. upon the au-
thority ofthe Wirtcmburg Gazette, rela-
tive to the conclusion Of Peace between
the Sublime Porte and Mehemet Ali,

the London Courier remarks:
"The French Journals of Sunday con-
firm the intelligence received yesterday :
of the conclusion of a treaty ofpeace be-
tween the Sultan and Mehemet Ali II
which will confer on the latter, the SOW
ereignty Of the whole of Syria, in addi-
