The Last Of the Aloselle. -
The hull OF this iii-fated vessel has lain hiA
and dry near tho water works, for the last r. e
months. The two or three pas. days have ~
employed in burning tho remnant Of the wr,A
the winds Of heaven will dispose Of the ashes, -
BY to-day, not a vestige Of tho unfortunate c..h
will remain. This incident gives rise to the ~
melancholy reflections. Six months ago, a.,
boat was among the favoritcs which crowded =,
landing. None walked the waters Of tho O.. B
in moro gallant trim-no 6Semen rolled TN,
rude chorus, as she entered and left our port, N
heartier glee-no commander loved his vessel -.
fsrven,y than poor Perrin. His hopes wsr, Z Y
there, his property was all ventured upon her ~
cess, and n failure brought to him nothing but -
in and the desola,ion Of crushed prospects.
Tho writer of this was upon the Moselle vhea
she made her FIRST trip, which was to North Bsni
A party was carried to that place from thu civ
| for the purpose Of performing certain c.remoaies
preparatory to the constructor Of tho White Wsles
canal. During those ceremonies, an address sas
delivered by distinguished legal gen,.cmss 4
Cincinnati. In the course Of his remarts upca

upon the river in all her beauty and pride. H
mentioned the fact that four months presious
not single stick Of timber had besa prepared foe
that boat. There she now rested, beautiful
sample Of the perfection 30 which the ar, had bssa
brought. Could the speaker have looked forward
one month, he wo-id have paused in view o. e
different spectacle. That time had hardly elapsed
