DREADFUL ID EARTHQUAKE AT
MARTINIQUE.

| BY the Pauline, which sailed from St.Picrre
~ the island OF Martinique, on the I2lI
ultinio, aud arrived at New Orleans OH IN,
Sd ultin'o, information is brought, giving tho
particulars of terrible earthquake which
visited that island on the tn ult., and spread
havoc aud ruin over the whole French colo
ny. The vessel having left the day after the
disaster, the whole extent Of the damage had
had not been ascertaincd. The devastation
however, was immense. Accounts were
coming in describing the destruction ol
buildings, the laying waste Of plantations
aud the swallowing up and burial Of many
families. Ofthe towns, Port Royal appears
to have been the greatest sufferer. Num-
bers OF buildings were demolished. and mul-
titudcs of lives lost. The last shock Of the
earthquake left scarce building standing,
and the whole city may be said to be over
whclmcd. -Four hundred persons, it is sup.
posed. were buried under the ruins. Oi
these, three hundred had been Withdrawn
from under the wreck and rubbish; and ex-
cavations were going on to extend relief to
others IN the same situation. In the town Of
ST. Pierre the shock was not so severe as at
Port Royal. The commotion lasted about 5
minutes. Several houses were thrown down
and many shaken into n shattered and totter-
ing condition. The number of lives lost was
very small compared with the destruction OF
other points. The Governor of Martinique
had issued his proclamation, calling upon the
citizens 10 succor each other in their fright
lnl disaster, and promising the sympathy and
assistance Of the French Government. The
call had been answered with alacrity, and
many of the citizens had joined the garrison
and marines in digging up the ruins, opening
the streets, propPng up buildings, and re-
pairing the desolations which the calamity
had made. For further and complete ac-
counts, we must await the next arrival, as
tho Pauline left too soon to ascertain all tho
dreadful particulars-.Naiiona HteiIigencer

The committee of investigation have
returned from your city. In relation to
their doings, they talk only understand,
in general terms, evading conversation
as to details. Their report will not be
made to the house until about the 22d,
and will be voluminous. There will be
no suppression. The majority are graft
fled that they undertook the journey
believing as they undoubtedly dc, that
the country will be benefited by their
Developments. The information ac-
quired in New York renders it neces-
sary for them 10 pay their respects to the
treasury department and if they have
not been led into error, they will draw
forth statement of such facts as ought
to, if it does not, overwhelm Woodbury.

pie will hear something, not uninterest-

FATHER LAND AND MOTHER TONcut.

Our Father land and would's thou know
Why we should call it Father land
1t is, that Adam, here below,
Was made of earth by Natures hand;
And he, our Father, made of earth.
Hath peopled earth on every hand,
And we, in memory of his birth,
Do call our country Father land"
At first, in Eden's bowers they saw,
No sound of speech had Adam caught,
But whistled like a bird ell day
And may be, twas for want of thought:
But Nature, with r~esistless laws,
Made Adam soon surpass the birds.
She gave him lovely Evc-because
1t hed a wife-they must hare words.
And so, the native land I hold,
By male descent is proudly mine;
The language, as the tale hath told,
Was given in the female line.
And thus we see, on either hand,
We name our blessings whence they've sprur
We call our country Father land,
We call our language Mother ton

BACON'S REBELLION.

Chiefly from Be0erkey's History Of Virginia.
NATHANIEL BACON was bred "a LAWYER,
at the Inns o Court, London. He came
to the colony Of Virginia young, bold,
active, OF an inviting aspect, and power.
full elocution. Nor had he been resident
in the colony three years, before he was
made one OF the council, and came to be
IN great esteem with the people.
The causes of Bacon's rebellion were,
first, the state Of the Tobacco trade,
which was much depressed by acts oil
Parliament; second, the splitting the
country into proprieties, contrary to the
charter, TO rid themselves Of which they
were compelled to pay oxorbitant taxes,
TO the grantees third, the act Of TWEEN.

colonial trade,-this act being more grie-
vous than the net Of CROMWELL for he on
ly insisted on English ships and crews
whereas, Charles H., compelled all ships
laden with colonial goods, TO touch al Eng.
land and pay the duties fourthly, the In
dian disturbances were such that added 10
their other grievances, ii drove them TO ex-
tremity, and they were ready, as people
ever are when things come to a certain
pitch, TO volunteer and take up arms.
The people locked unanimously, run

state they were joined by Bacon.

ly he was soon invested with the chief
command. He harangued the people on
their grievances, and concluded by de-
cIaring that he would not lay down his
arms until he had avenged all the cruel
ties of the Indians, and redressed all their
wrongs.
His speech produced unanimity and de.
votion TO him. He her despatched a
messenger to Governor Berkeley, TO de-
mand OF him a commission 10 march a.
gainst the Indians. The Governor va.
cIllated and answered that he would con.
suit the council, and advise him Of the re-
suit.
Bacon would hear Of no delay, and
sent messenger after messenger TO the
Governor, demanding the commission.
Berkeley answered, commanding him
to dispense his men,-on pain Of being
proclaimed a rebel.-Thereupon, Bacon
repaired, with forty men, in a sloop TO
jamestown. He had an interview with

ABsENTEEIsM


Before the union between the English
and Irish Parllaments, the noblemen and
property owners ofthe latter island sought
their amusements and pursued their avo-
cations in their " capital. Dublin was
one ofthe most thriving, as well as benu.
tiful, cities in Europe. Since Legislation,
however, has been transferred to London
since the sources Of preferment and
public employment are 10 be sought for
in the ~neighboring island, Dublin has de-
clined in population, and the income OF
property has been in the constant progress
Of abstraction, to be spent elsewhere
This is what O'Connell calls absenteeiSm /;
this is what he alleges to be tho cause
of ruin to the agricultural and manufac-
turing interests Of Ireland. He is sub.
s,antially correct. Is not the same pro.
cess going on in the United Statesl We
have, from time to time, watched the list
of passengers who have sailed from this
port, and from other ports Of the Union,
TO Europe aud we speak within bounds,
when we say, that, at least 5000 Amer.
can citizens are abroad, not on business,
but for pleasure, or taking up their resi-.
dence in European cities. Two thousand
dollars per annum may be safely put
down as the expenses Of each person
making a million OF dollars, which is thus
left in foreign countries. Has it not oc.
CURED, that one of of the principal causes
OF this absenteeism oil men, Of wealth and
character, arises from their almost entire
exclusion from all public employments
and official stations? The mind Of man,
whether rich or poor, must be engaged
in some occupation and, if those who
can afford it are excluded from serving
the people, by the ostracism of the Co.
vernment, and the Government party,
and men of inferior character and inferi.
or abilities are preferred, chiefly because
they are clamorous Office seekers, it is
not surprising, if men Of properly and

A CHAMBER SCENE.

She rose from he- untroubled sleep,
And put aside her soft brown hair,
And, in a tone as low and deep
As loves FIRST whisper breathed a prayer
Her snow-white hands together press'd-
Her blue eye SHELTERED in its lid
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms ii hid
As from her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare and slender foot,
Whose fall upon the earth did press
Like a snow-white fake, soft and mute f;
And there, from slumber soft and warm,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed her light and graceful form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh God if FOULS unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy at Thy throne
If she, upon her Bonded knees,
Our l~oveliest and our purest one
She, with a face so clear and bright.
We deem her some stray child of light
II she, with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her first years,
Must kseel and pray for grace from thee.
What far, far deeper need have WET
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
WI our wild errors be forgivenl
