Oh. woman truth and passion rear the throne
Where thou dost sit triumphant and alone;
Bright shades of ftful fancies throw
Prismatic colors DER thy beauty's glow
Before a thousand shrines thy feelings burn,
AS vestals wave their tapers Ter the urn;
A seeming tickle nature oft imhues
The color of thy mind with rainbow hues,-
Yet, when awakened to some daring deed,
When grief and trials come, and nations bleed,
When fields of blood re-echo shrieklng cries,
And hopes lone star hath left the shronded skies
IT'S then thy mighty heart shall fully prove,
The strength OF all thy consistency and love
Who longest fingers at the bed of DEATH
With kisses winning back the foeting breath
Who longest at the chill lone tomb shall stay,
Pale sentinel FER cold and paler clay
"Last at the cross and earliest at the grave,
Oh, woman tbs thy chosen hour to save,
When manhoods naughty crest is fallen low,
Shattered and broken by the stunning blow

An Old Apprentice.

The following is the touching petition of an old
apprentice in Trinidad, to the Governor of that col
ony. We extract it from the work of Captain
Hodgson-' Truths from the West Indies.
d" To the Right Hon. Sir G. Hall, Bart, Colonel
Of the Londonderry Militia, Lieutenant Cor
ernor, &c. &c."
"The petition of Slamank, otherwise Adam
aged eighty-iive years, Mahomedan priest of the
Mandingo nation, most humbly showeth
"That he was thirty-fve years of age when he
was sold into slavery; and Notwithstanding his
sacred profession, has been forced to labor in the
fields, and undergo the sufierings and degradation
of slavery for fifty years.
THAT all his family have been separated from
him in his old age, his children from time to time
having been sold; and that he now remains alone
ca the Marli estate without family or friends.
THAT on the lst of August, 1884, the petition
err, then eighty-four years old, was told that the
king had made him free, but that he must still be
an apprentice to learn the same trade of digging
cane holes, which he had been practising for fifty
years.
"The petitioner, whose blood had warmed at
the prospect of enjoying freedom, even for the last
few days of his wretched existence, must now
abandon all hope of living to see the day of his
redemption.
"He implores your Exceency to allow him to
go free. He born free, and wishes to die free.
He renounces all claim to remuneration for fifty
years servitude. The Mandingo church in Port
of Spain will support him. Extend your protec-
ting arm, 0, your Excellency! and the petitioner,

termine amicably who should be the legitimate
owner of the territory under the treaties of 1853
and 1915.
Outrages having been recently committed by
those whom the British Governor presumed to be
common wrong doors and outlaws, he exercised
his habtua and, we must beg leave to say his
unquestionable right of vndcating public justice.
The State Of Maine and its Governor (Fairfeld)
impugn this right alleged by Sir John Harvey
They set up an adverse claim, not merely to Joint
but an exclusive, jurisdiction, They allot $500
900 in money to provide the means of enforcing
it, and they embody 10000 militia to attack Sil
John Harvey and handful of British troops a
his disposal.
What then, is the conduct of the central gov
eminent at Washington with reference to this
immediate controversy Why it adopts the view
of the rights of jurisdiction asserted by the State
of Maine and declares that if Sir John Harvey
shall persist in the construction which he has al
ready affixed to the duties and obligations imposed
upon him by the British Government, it will fine
itself called upon to furnish succors to Maine, a
in the case of any other State engaged in JUS
war with foreign enemy.

Brilliant Meteor.--On Saturday night last, be-
tween 10 and II o'clock, while walking along
East Bay street, attention was arrested by all
extraordinary fash oflightas brilliant and intense as
the most vivid lightning, casting abroad but moment
aryllumnation over the scene. We were at first, toe
much startled and dazzled to detect the cause OIL
the brilliant phenomenon, but on turning round we
saw luminous streak ofserpentine form, athwart
the North Eastern part of the heavens, some thir-
ty feet in length, and five or six inches in width,
fading from the view and changing from bright
hame-ike color to dull yellow, and assuming
the form of a crescent before its entire disappear
ance Not facing the proper direction, we did not
see the Meteor as it shot through the armament,
but from ts~volume of light it must have been Of
immense size. The streak Of light was visible for
at least minute.

From the New Orleans Courier of April 20.

Latest from Merico.-We are indebted to a
merchant of this city for the following interesting
PARTICULARS of Mexican news, brought BY the United
States brig Consort from Vera Cruz.
On the 9th of April, fire broke out in the Gus
tom House at Vera Cruz, which was consumed
with more than 1000 packages of valuable goods
also other houses adjacent u
1t appears that the French squadron had not
sailed, as it was by the aid of the French sailors
and engines that the fire at Vera Cruz was finally
conquered.
General Mea was on the 9TH of April, within
Is miles of Vera Cruz, at the head of from one
thousand to fifteen hundred men. 1T believed in
Vera Cruz that the Mexican garrison would jon
him, and that the city would soon be in his pos
session.
Another account says that the greatest conster
nation prevails at Vera Cruz among the inhabit
ants and merchants, who feared that the towr
would be put under contribution.
The Consort brings $ll4,023 in specie to con
signees in New Orleans, and $4,000 for New
Y orlf merchants.

DISTRESSING OccuRRENcE.-On Saturday last,
a tree foated down Blackstone river and lodged at
the first Fails at Pawtucket. Mr.. John Cogsha,
a worthy and industrious man, went with his boat
to endeavor to secure the tree in doing which, he
was carried over the first falls, but regained his
hold and remained on the tree for ten minutes
hundreds of people saw his perilous situation and
requested him to hold on which he could easily
have done until they should get boat to rescue
him-he did not heed the warning, but plunged
in and endeavored to reach the shore but was in
stantly carried over the second falls, and in a mo-
ment was SEGA by hundreds to descend into the
whirlpool below, and dashed among the rocks
He was seen below the falls for the last time. He
has left wife and children TO mourn their irrepar-
able oss.-Prouidence Journal.

George THOMPSON.

This splendid orator and celebrated phlanthro-
pist is at present in feeble health on account of his
extraordinary exertons in the cause of humanity
Since his return from this country, no man in
Europe has been so popular as an advocate in the
cause of emancipation, or whose eloquence has
been employed so often or with so much success.
Wherever he has been called to address the peo-
pie, an immense concourse has crowded around
him, sometimes embracing IL or Is members of
Parliament. Lord Brougham has complimented
him in the highest strain. Being now prevented
by ill health from his arduous public labors, a sub
scription for his benefit has recently been put in
circulation, which had already amounted, in the
early stage of it, to nearly $4,000. This is the
man who was branded in this country by the SER
vile presses, as a fugitive from justice" How
strangely does the treatment he receives in his ma
tive land contrast with that which he received in
this country, where his life was sought by mobs
How mean and contemplate do his prosecutors APP
