provisions are abundant in that town, brought
there by French vessels.
Accounts from Madrid state that Bourmont
passed through Merida to embark, and that Don
Carlos was still at CASTILLO Dranco, or in the
environs. Several arrests have taken place at
Madrid amongst the Clergy.
The Foreign market was in the same state as
that of the British; prices nominal as on the 25th
of November.
Letters from Rome state that the rumored in
tention of Austria to sanction or create an TIA

Cabinet as to elicit from it a notification to the
Holy See, that in such an event the French Go

an Tuesday morning, between FrederickS-
~ burg and my plantation, in the upper end
Of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, aud the MARE
on which he Was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
a stranger In this part of the country. When
seen IN possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
ne was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years Ofage, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high; has a drawing manner of talking,
and appears TO be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth Cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing dfab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, Woodworking more than the size of
a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markabiy long IN her body; has a long tail, and
1t isremarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes
anlncislon which was made a year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare. or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery of
either. JNO. TAyLOE IOMAX

COMMUNICATED

The hint of " SeneX," in the Gazette of this
morning, to " the Friends Of the Bible,'' is sea
sonable and kind; for it is certain that the friends
o. the Bible must always be the friends of the
poor. We have many such among us; and
whatsoever we will, we may do them good. If
our benevolent young men, who have provided
wood for the poor, and propose opening a Soup
House for their benefit, need more funds, they
have only to ask for them: and if they needed
any thing to stimulate them to persevere, besides
the blessing Of the widow, the respect of their
felloW-citizens, and the appreciation Of their own
minds, they should have the public and private
thanks of every Friend of the Bible. Let them
60 forward. Their conduct is honorable to
themselves, to the community, and to the Bible.
May the blessing of those who are ready to Pc
rish, and the blessing ofthe widows God, be up
on them all.
But does SeneX' mean to intimate that the
poor need only wood and soup? Shall we sup.
pose that we have done all that Charity demands
when we have provided for their temporal or
temporary wants? Shall we feed, and clothe.
and warm their bodies, and neglect their I'M.
mortal souls? The Bible ~instructs us to care for
both. And while millions of our feIow-men are
destitute of that Holy Book, whose inspired
truths, alone, can give the knowledge of saliva
ton, and awaken the soul to its true interests
and its high and solemn responsibilities, " the
trends OF the Bible" cannot think they have done
to others as they would that others should do
unto them, until they offered a Bible to every ia.
mily, and, ifpossible, to every individual, ofthe
wide earth. This, with the blessing of God,
they are determined to do. 1t is a great work
it is a good work: it is a noble work. 1t has en-
countered, and will encounter, opposition: but
it will be done. And if while we are engaged
in this toll, we should ever forget the ~sufferings
which are around us, be "Senex' our Mentor
And if, again, he, while pleading a remembrance
of the poor, would feed the body, and neglect
the mind, we shall turn to our Bibles, and read
him this lesson: " These ought ye to hare done,
and nat to leare the other undone."

~THEsYoUNG MOTHER.

She stands amidst the glittering crowd,
The samei in form and face,
As when at first her sweet cheek gioWed,
Event this very place.
THE same bright tresses bind her brow,
The same rich pearls her hair,
Her lip is just as roseate now,
Her hands as soft and fair.
She looks the same young radiant bride
As when we saw her first,
When in her flash ofhappiest pride
Upon our eyes she burst;
And ever now she leans, as then,
Upon her husbands arm;
Yes-,tis the very same again,
With every faultless charm.
Yet there's a change-her eyes are still
Most beautiful and bright;
But they seem beneath their lids, to I'LL
With softer, tenderer light.
Her voice is sweet, and rich, and low,
But Just as musical;
But It's grown more. like a rivers flow,
Then a fountains laughing fall.
Still, still she smiles as radiantly,
When friends are speaking near:
But in her smile there's less OF glee,
And more of bliss sincere.
TITS not the brilliant scene around
That her quiet heart beguiles;
In her pure spirit may be found
The fountain of her smiles.
Now, ever and anon, her eye
Is fixed on vacancy,
And she seems to listen earnestly;
For, midst the revelry,
In fancy comes an infants wall,
Or its murmuring in its sleep;
And the splendid hall seems cold and pale
When such visions DER her creep.
And though the scene is very fair,
She wearies for her home,
And thinks the hour to take her there
Will never, never come.
She, who once watched the time in pain,
That would too Guickly fow,-
Oh, sure she might be g0yer then,
But she is happier now!
