Thou most portentous star
That contest from afar,
Turning all other luminarics pale,
oh calm our fears,
And to
We pray thee unfold thy wond'rous Tail.
Say fitis our turn
Beneath thy wrath TO burn,
And this must be the last time we shall meetl
Say ifthrongb space
Thoust run thy race,
And with this globe will finish thy "lasi heath"
As each astronomer oil sadly tells,
Midst other ills thout scorch up ceHs,
Such thoughts as these quito enough to try one.
II we are thus bespoke
IL is no joke
Or, at the bost, IL is a very dyyone.
To see all nature fall beneath thy flashes,
Our oaks and eiLRs all turning into-asAes(
And Ger one burning saber-weck ia spod,
TO lind thee warming every rivers bed
IL thou dos mediate these ffightful things,
And com'st In autumn TO dry up springs,
While DER the liquid world thy fury passes,
(since IN thy book thoust put US down to roast,l
Leave us at least wine o charge our glasses,
And do the honors to create toast

THE NoBLEMEN OF IRELAND.

The NobLEMEN OF IRELAND.
" ArR-fe -uarisers Of Eaglaad."
We noblemon OF Irclandt
Who stay at home at ease,-
Or float about in gilLcd yacht,
framed by tho summe breeze
oh ne'er from Erin venture forth
10 cross the stormy seas,
But stay, while YOU may,
Where the Hatch your faces know,
And your iiolics, loud aud long,
You nevor need forsgo!
We thought among the Yankees,
To do Us we should list,
And wo drank, and we laughed,
And we shook each noble fist
Aud when the Charley caught us,
We roarod each noble name
But hod- mcn bad we better been,
For our own aud country's fame;-
For "rtoters' they called us,
Aud led us of to inil,
Aud there alas We had to stay
Till the Consul "peHt our bail. I"
Tho chivalry of ssIrcland!p
Where then in doleful case,
Obliged to own each noble name
In such shocking place;
The rabble-rout looked on and grinned-
And noe looked round and tfowncd-
And the fankee Justice, he, forsooth,
administered "seyere repoor"
While cuiPrits we stood round.
by Coronet and Garter:
BY Shamrock and by Rose!
We swore aloud our vengeance dire
Upon our Yankee foes.
While j D-----n, our Irish friend,
So warmly did our cause dcieud,
lie went tho streets about
"The story to hush up" he said
Aud so he every man did tell
What his "most noble friends bcfelI,
And how no grieved the same TO tell,
And hoped 'twoud not !get evr"
Now, noblemcn of Ireland.
We're sick of Yankee land;
Aud we burn to return
TO hide each blushing brow
And some laurols fair to earn.
BE forgot this boyish freak;
And Let Fame our praises speak
In "the House"--in the strife
OF the camp or naval life
And Britain proud, in coming years,
Shall glory in hor Irish Peers.

FRoM FRANcE.--Extract of letter to the Editor of

ccved by the Sully:
This is the season when those in the cotton trade
should give orders TO purchase your side the wafer
But we know not what TO be The article by the las,
advices was too high TO leave any hope of profit here
Our prices have fallen lately, but still nornnay too
nigh TO give profit to the manufacturers Sales now
made are ON small scale. The planter is making too
much money there is little chance left for the dealers
me number OF ships ordered to Liverpool which were
destined for this port has depressed that market also
we pause too on another account: the twenty five mill
ions-how, and when, is it to be settled, We can get
no satisfactory account of what has been done 10 nnt
this affair at rest 1t is not probable your Government
VIII exPlan, further than ii has done, by approving and
publishing the approval of MIR. Livin9slons conduct
but 1t would appear that Mr. Livingston has dispeased
more than Gen Jackson in his message; the paue is
against him We vexed TO the marked reception
he has had upon his return home No wonder he has
been taken egppe for he has had the talent TO place in
strong Teii conduct which be reviewed with sa
tsacon by the parties concerned. 1t is lamentaDie
however to think that the prosperity Of nations NAV
be compromised perhaps their peace interrupted by a
