claimed by Mr. Potter for injLsay sustain
ed by the ship Benjamin Ruggles, in tho
dry harbor Of Newport, Eng. into Sshicb
she had gone to take cargo Of irohs---
The Court were of opinion that in view
of all the evidence, the brig was perfectly
sound and sea-worthy-that she had not
been over-laden and that the injury she
had sustained must consequently have
been the result Of some extraordinary
circumstance, such as settling upon u
hard substance in the bottom Of the har-
bor, or overlieing her berth. Either oi
these were clearly accidents, for which
the insurers were responsible. MIR Par
sons, for defendants, moved for now
trial, on the ground that the brig was NOT
as represented, sound and sca-worthy-
which was granted.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Chronicle still insists that Mr.
FORSYTH has resigned the Secretaryslp
of the State Department. In his letter,
under date of May o3lh, ho says -
Il see that some OF the correspondents
from this place, and some of the Adnin-
istration presses also, have deniad tae re-
sgnation or prospective resss--sp . ~ OF
Fersy,h, which | told you Of s5meiime
since Ii however, is a fact, and re-
i,erate it. The cause is manifold. The
Kitchen department Of Government was
very hostile to him. He was appointed
in opposition to their wishes, and for once
they were defeated in that appointment.
But they kept peckng AT him, and very
probably in time would have succeeded
in undermining him, and no doubt the
mind of the President was prcjudiced n
gains, him, when a letter came from Mr.
Livingston, complaining Of the publica-
tlon OF his letters, to the State Depart
ment, which letters he said ought to have
been kept secret. This complaint of Ii
vings,on was, no doubt, instigaled 10y
letters sent from here by Forsyth's enc
mics. | understand that this was the
case, and it was God-send to them
They seized hold Of it and wrought up
the old mans mind to such fury, thar he
sent for Forsyth aud the chief clerk Dea-
kins, and DARED at them at Such rate,
by no means like sucking dove, that
Forsyth could not stand it. The old
General told him he was not ft to con-
duct business Of such Importance, sc -
And the kitchen concern have, perhaps,
added little to it, by saying that he told

HUMAN LOVE.--BY ". Z. WmLis.

Written in wisdom--ifthcrc is n word
That could trace with pen of fra,
Upon the unsunh'd temper OF child;
Ifthero IL any thing that kecpsshc mind
Open to ang 70 visits, or repcls
The ministry Of ills, tits Human Love,
God has mado nothing worthy of contompt-
The smallest pebble in the well of truth,
Has its peculiar meaning, aud will stand
When mans best monuments wear fast away.
Tho law of Heaven is love, and thou it, name
Has been usurp'd by passion, and proiaE'd
To its unhclv uses through all time,
Still the eternal principle is pure;
And in these deep affections we feel
cmnipotcnt within us--wc but see
The lavish OF his measures in which love is given;
Aud in the ycarninz Tenderness of child,
For evory bird that sings above his head,
And every creature feeding on;thc hills,
Aud every tree end Hover and running brook,
sVo 500 how every thing was made to Love;
And how they err, who in u worll like THIS
Find any thing to hato hut human pride.
