.Mutiny on board the Spanish Schooner

committed on board the Spanish Schooner
Amistead which was taken and brought
into New London Conn, on the Goth uit.
The unfortunate slaves, among whom is
one Joseph Cinquez the son of an African
Chief, it seems have made bold and no.
bic attempt to regain their freedom. This
Cinquez is said to be one Of those master
spirits which appear but seldom, and he
it was that took the lead in the arduous
attempt to regain their liberty and their
homes. They killed the Captain and seve,
raj of the crew, and became master Of the
vessel, but understanding nothing OF nav-
CATION they were thrown upon the shores
OF this land Of hberty,( O. where they are

We shall give particulars in our

The Spanish Consul has made a requisi-
ton for the slaves taken on board the
Amstead, and it is the opirion Of some OF
the american papers that they will be
given up. For the honor of the Amer-
can name we hope not. Justice requires
that they should not only be set at liberty
but aided in returning to their kindred and
homes.

NECESSITY AND INVENTION,

curious catalogue might be made Of the
shifts to which ingenious students in ditler-n,
departments OF art have resoited, when like
Dasy, they have wanted the proper instruments
Tor carrying on their inquiries or experiments.
His is not the first in which the stores OF an
apothecary's shop are recorded to have fed the
Enthusiasm, and materially assisted the labors OF
the young cultivator of natural science. The
German chemist, Steele, whose name ranks in
his own department with the greatest Of his
time, was, as well as Davy, apprentced in early
Life to an apothccary. While living in his mas
ter's he used secretly to prosecute the study Of
his favorlte science by employing often half the
night in reading the works that treated of it, or
making experiments with instruments fabricated,
as Davy's were, by himself and out of equally
simple materials
Like the young British philosopher, too,
Steele is recorded TO have sometimes alarmed
the whole household by his detonations-an in
cident which always brought down upon him
the anger Of his master, and heavy menaces, in
tended to deter HIM from ever agtin applying
himself to such dangerous studies, which, how
ever, he did not long regard 1t was at an
apothecarys house, that Boyle aud his Oxfor,
friends first held their scientific meetings, in
duced, as we are expressly told, by the oppor
tunity they would thus have Of obtaining drugs
wherewith to make their experiments.
| Newton lodged with an apothecary, while at
school, in the town Of Grantham and as, even
at that early age, he is known to have been ar
IDENTITY devoted to scientific contrivances and es
periments, and to have been in the habit Of con
verting all sorts Of articles into auxiliaries il
his iavorite pursuits, it is not probable that The
various strange preparations which filled the
shelves and boxes Of his landlords shop woud
escape his curious examination. AItbouyh
New'on's glory chiefly depends upon his dis.
coverles IN abstract and mechanical science
some Of his speculations, and especially some Of
his writings Oh the subjects Of light and color.
sh@w chat the internal constitution Of matter
and its chemical properties, had also much o..

These compositions are generally of the first
order Of excellence in style, and for the most
part Of the same class of excellence in sentiment
II IS OF the greatest Importance that you should
be familiar with compositions Of this description
IN your native language.
Yet remember that you who are stud, ing
Greek should pay great attention to that veneer
able and ancient language, to which the palm is
generally adjudsrd by good critics. Mr.. DalzeI,
ia his Lectures on the Ancient Greeks, page
$50, OF his fist volume, observes, :" The Greeks,
IN PARTICULAR as they were the most accomplish
ed people Of all antiquity, are universally allow
ed also TO have spoken the best language" And
in relation TO those subjects on which they
wrote, which were some OF the most Interesting
and important subjects that can engage the at
tentlon Of the human mind, they displayed
geniis, and poured forth all energetic and har
monous eloquence, never surpassed by unn-
sp'red writers, previous TO the light furnished
by Revelation.

So dear to the heart as the land of our birth
lis The home of our childhood the beautiful spot
Which memory retains when all else is forgot.

Aid liz valleys and hills by cur children be trod
Can the language of strangers in accents unknown,
Send a thrill TO our hosoms like that oil our own:
The face may be fair and smiles may be bland.
But il breaths not the tone OF dear native land.
There's no spot on earth
Like the land of our hIth,
Where heroes kept guard DER the altar and hearth
How sweet is the language which taught US TO blend
The dear names of parent, Of husband. aud FRIEND
Which taught MS TO lisp our mothers soft breast
The ballads sh. sung when she rocked US to rest
May the blessings oil God
Ever halow the sod,
And its valleys and hills by our children be trod
