THE DYING GIRL.
From the Portfolio Of Book Worm.
on would she sit and look upon the sky,
When rich clouds in the golden sunset lay
Basking, and loved to hear the soft winds sigh,
That come like music at the close of day
Trembling among the orange blooms, and die
As I were Of very sweetness. She was gay,
Meekly and calmly gay and then her gaze
Was brighter than belongs to dying days.
And on her young thin cheek a vivid flush,
A clear transparent color, sat awhile;
Twas like, bard would say, the mornings blush,
And round her mouth there play'd gentle smile,
Which though at first II might your terrors hush,
II could not, though It strove, at last beguile:
And her hand shook and then rose the blue vein,
Branching about in all its windings plain.
The girl was dying. Youth and beauty, all
Men love or boast OF, was decaying,
And one by one life's finest flowers did fall
Before the touch OF Death, who seemd delaying,
As though he'd not the heart at once TO call
That maiden TO her home. AT last, arraying
Himself in softest guise, he came: she sigh'd
And smiling as though her lover whispered, died
He saw her where she lay in silent state,
Cold and as white as marble: and her eye,
Whercon such bright and beamng beauty safe,
Was, after the fashion Of mortality,
Closed up for ever: even the smiles which late
None could Withstand, were gone and there did
lie
(For he had drawn aside the shrouding veil)
BY her helpless hand, waxen and pale.

HEIRS TO THE THRONE OF FRANcE.--It
is singular fact that, including a pretender
to the throne of France who has for years,
asserted himself to be the Dauphin, son of
Louis Sixteenth, who was supposed to have
persisted in the Temple during the revolution,
there are living five heirs to the throne Of
France. They are, the Duke of Orleans,
son, and the Count Of Paris, grandson, Of
Louis Philippe; the Duke of Bordeaux,
grandson Of Charles X !; the souidisant Duke
of Normandy; and Louis Napoleon Bona
parte, nephew Of the Emperor, and grandson
by adoption, who claims as next in succession
to the Duke Of Reichstadt.
Respecting the pretender above alluded to,
the New York Advertiser mentions that
though he has endeavored for twenty years,
as yet he has not succeeded in gaining his
great object, an interview with or any notice
from the Duchess D'Angouleme, (who, if he
is really the son of Louis XVI, is his only
sister,) although he has caused to be publish
ed numerous and minute details of events that
took place in his childhood, and by which, as
they could be known only to herself and bro
ther, he maintains, that she must recognize
him. He has applied in turn to half the
monarchs in Europe-not exactly for support,
but for their influence with the Duchess, to
gain for him hearing; and he declares that
Napoleon was so satisfied with his identity,
as secretly TO grant him liberal pension
instigated thereto by sympathy for his mis-
fortunes, and perhaps by some underlined no
tion Of using him, in some possible emergen-
cy, against his supposed uncle, Louis XVIII.

The "John Bull" has the following account
Of The affair.-.N Y. Gazette.
Furious attack on Mr.. Van Amburgh, of
Astiey's .Amphitheatre, By one Of has Tigers.
Since Wednesday last the principal topic Of
conversation in the theatrical world has been
the furious attack made on Mr.. Van AM
burgh, whose exhibition at Astley's Royal
Amphltheatre Of lions, tigers, leopards and
other animals Of the forest, in the grand
geological spectacle entitled the Lion Con-
queror Of Pompeii," has excited within these
few days past much public attention. Mr.
Van Amburgh has been styled by the phiiolo-
gos OF the above equestrian establishment as
the brute tanner, and certainly the appellation
is well applied, as the following daring feat
will prove, for never was the courage or the
presence Of mind of man put 10 a severer test.
From the information obtained by our reporter
yesterday, from an authentic source, it appears
that on Wednesday last rehearsal was going.
on in the circus Of the theatre, when Mr.. Van
Ambureh, wishing one of his tigers to perform
a certain feat, which the animal was utterly
unable or unwilling to accomplish, had re-
course to severe corporeal punishment which
chastisement he inflicted with large horse
whip. Smarting under the pain of the lash,
the animal became incensed, and suddenly
sprang upon Mr.. Van Amburgh, who Instant
ly was hurled with violence to the ground,
from the strength and weight Of his ineensed
assailant. Mr. Van Amburgh, who is of
Herculean case, and possessing extraordinary
uuscuia. ro~os, iasss.ssiy Priesthood tha ;...as-
ton of the animal, which was that Of tearing
a. x..,l
sence Of mind which few men possess, seized
his foe by the lip Of the lower jaw, and thus
pinioned him as bull dog would an OK at a
bait A long and fearful struggle now ensued,
in the course Of which both the man and the
tiger rolled over several times. Atlength Mr.
Van Amburgh got the better Of his foe by
throwing him on his back, at the same time
kneelng on his stomach, and, with his other
hand, which was till now unengaged, COM
menced striking the PROSTATE animal with his
clenched fist, the blows following in quick
succession, over the head, face and particular
ly the nose, until the blood flowed from the
subdued animal, VINO here quivered uader the
grasp of his conqueror. AT length Mr. Van
Amburgh, perceiving that he had completely
overcome him, released his hold, and the ami
NAL, finding himself at liberty, retired short
distance from his master, and crouched down
as if severely suffering from the punishment he
had received. 1t may here be proper to mention
that the performers $50 we understood,) did not
pay any attention to the struggle, considering
that it was merely rehearsal Of the part to
be played in the evening, until they saw him
administering the severe chastisement, as be-
fore described, TO the enraged animal, and its
efforts to compel Mr.. Van Amburgh to release
his hold. This encounter did NOT at all i'm

The WcStcrn Frontier and Upper Cana
dq.-The letter published below, is all that
SWc have further from the Western frontier;
indeed, the interest having subsidized in that
quarter. WI do not look for details in the
minute and especial manner VIC havc here
tofore received them.
1t will be remembered that, in the outset
Of the Upper Canada Revolution, Sir Fran
els Head published Il reward for tho appre-
hcnsion Of snndry persons, commencing
with The callitT Mackenzie, and comprising
one Lount-for the latter of whom tc5OO
were offered. This man was recently ap-
pretended by two loyalists. who found him
skulking in The woods, where hc had been
wandering since the Sth OF Dec. When
brought before the nlagistia, tics, he did not
attempt 10 justify his conduct in the rebel
lion, but pleaded for Il favorable considera-
ton Of his case, on the ground that
'Iic had saved the house Of Mr.. Sheriff
Jarvis from The destruction to which it had
been devoted by Mckenzie. He gave as
lSs reason for this humane interference that
Mrs. Jarvis was reported TO be in i'll health,
and that The Sheriff had formerly rendered
him personal iavors. Capt. Stewart, who
was i'll company with the lamcntcd Col.
Noodle, when lie was murdered, aud Ar
cl,ibald Mcdonald, ESQ. who was made
prisoner the night that John Powell, ESQ.
caused the ruflian Anderson TO fall from his
horse and break his neck, both appeared
before the Commissioners to testify to the
humanity of Gen. Lount, which they en-
phatically said, they did with heartfelt
pleasure, declaring that it was their full and
entire conviction that, but for tho determined
opposition both Of Lount and Gibson, the
whole of the prisoners would have been
butchcrcd in cold blood by Mackcnzic.'
BUFFALO, Jan. 2j.
Alas! the war is over, and the Canadi-
ans mus, suffer under the CALLING chains of
bondage, unless, as the whole of Western
crnmcnt will declare wal upon Great Brit
ain. and allow this State to throw $4,000
militia across the lines to drive the loyal
Canucks into lake Ontario.
Nothing is doirg here now, and future
movements can only be snrmiscd. The
militia arc kept out, and new cnl;stmcn,s
arc going on. The soldiers arc under rccu.
lar pay, served with rali0ns, and live in bar
racks and arc drilling and marching daily.
This looks as though Il war was among the
possibilities.
