A petition was presented by Lord
Brougham signed by between sixteen and
and nineteen Thousand inhabitants Of Edin-
burgh, praying for the dissolution Of the
connection between Church and State.
North American. [volume] (Swanton, Vt.) 1839-1841, 1840-08-05

A letter from Jallahabad, of the 2Sd
April, states that the Russian Army had
entered Khiva in triumph. The Khan
submitted with good grace, finding resist
ance useless. He entered into a treaty Of
lensive and defensive with The Emperor
Nicholas aud promised to render him all
possible assistance in extending his domin-
ion further in the East. If this news be
confirmed, says the London Sun, &c we NAV
prepare ourselves for an encounter with
Russia, on the banks of the Indus. 1t is
more than probable that from the battle
fields of Central Asia the voice of ENGLAND
will be the first heard evoking the rcstora-
ton of Polish nationality & independence. !"
Trade is represented as being in a most
depressed condition, that very many agents
Of American Importing Houses were pre-
pairing TO return home in consequences
thereof. The English manufacturers are
wholly discouraged, so few have been

In the Honse Of Lords, on the % uIr. the
earl OF Hardwick gave notice that on Tues

an amendment, that the Bill be committed

MAJOR EAToN-The Van Buren, press, since Ma
or Eatons return from Spain, and since he came out
against MIR. Van Buren,, have got up story that he
had overdrawn his account, and was defaulter for
$2,677. In this way they seek TO destroy his reputa
ton and break the effect Of his exertons against mis-
rule The Nashville Banner, by authority of Major
Eaton gives this charge direct contradiction. The
law fixes the salary of foreign ministers, and the
allowance for contingencies, such as stationery, &c.
The amount allowed for contingencies at Madrid,
where Major Eaton was, is $500 These contingent
ces were allowed to Mr. Van Buren,, as Minister to
England under the law and il can hardly be supposed
he would now direct their disallowance to another
minister, because he does not think Mr.. Van Buren,
should be reelected Prcsident-but we shall see

II. B. GRIGsBy has retired from the editorial
chair of the Norfolk Beacon. VIM. E. Gun
NINGHAM, the late representative of the Borough
in the House of Delegates, succeeds him. In
the farewell address of Mr.. GRIGsBY to his pa
irons, we find the following beautiful and appro-
pirate notice of the Navy:
The intimate relations that have existed be-
tween the officers of the Navy and ourselves
demand, even in this hasty address, friendly
recognition. II has been the agreeable task Of
the editors Of the Beacon from its commence
ment to record naval intelligence, and TO sustain
with all their vigor the interests and honor of the
service If our gallant officers have not won of
late years new laurels and brought in the flags
Of a vanquished foe TO embazon the archives of
the republic, II is because no foreign arm has
been raised against our common country, and no
hostile Prov has shown itself on the deep But
their services, although not as dazzling to the
common eye as those OF war, have not been the
less useful 10 the nation and glorious to them
selves. Wherever our ships of war have ap-
peared, in whatever port or on what sea soever
their stars and stripes have been given to the
breeze, the estimate of our national character
has been exalted, our institutions have been re-
garded with higher respect, and the interests Of
our commerce most efectually promoted. Such
a result, so gratifying to an honorable pride is
vi IioTe pIdCllCdl duNduldSes duu UlOTe Truly
noble than hundred victories won by the can
non and the sword. The immense martial pre-
parations which the great nations of Europe are
now making, prove incontestibly, that hence
forth the ocean is to be the battle field of empires,
and teach us the timely lesson, that, if we wish
to sustain ourselves IN a contest with an Euro
pean power, we must look to the Navy as our
main, if not only hope. How important, then,
that this branch Of the public service should be
fondly cherished We know the present officers
to be bravemen andaccomplishedg gentlemen, and
that they will acquit themselves in any emer-
gency with all their ancient valor but let poll
ticians Of both parties beware, how, in the low
squabble for temporary objects, they slight the
interests and touch the pride of those whose acts
ennoble so many pages Of our history, and from
whom so much is anticipated in any future
struggle.

A SEPTEMBER EVENING,

lshed IN the knickerbocker.
A SEPTEMBER EVENING,
ON THE BANKS OF THE MosHAssucK.
Now TO the seasons Of sweet silent thought
l summon up remembrance Of things past"
,Shakspearss Sonnsts
Again Sepiembers golden day,
Serenely still, intensely bright,
Fades on the umbered hills away
And mets into the coming night.
Again on Moshassuck's silver tide
Reflects each green herb on its side,
Each tasseled wreath and tangling vine
Whose tendrils DER its margin twine
And standing on its velvet shore,
Where yesterdaynight with thee stood,
trace its devious course once more
Far wind ng on through vale and wood;
Now glimmerng through yon golden mist
BY the last glistnng sunbeams kissed,
Now lost where lengthening shadows fall
From hazel-copse and -fringed wall.
Near where yon rocks the stream inurn
The lonely gentian blossoms still
Still wave the star -fower and the fern
Ger the soft outline of the hill,
While TAR aloft where pne-trces throw
Their shade athwart the sunset glow,
Thin yapours cloud the illumined air
And parting day light fingers there.
But ali, no longer thou art near
This varied loneliness TO see,
And though fondly lingering here,
To night can only think on thee
The flowers which late thy hand caressed
Still lie unwithered on my breast,
And still thy footsteps print the shore
Where thou and may rove no more.
Again hear the fute-like fall,
OF water from yon distant dell;
The beetle hum, the crickets CALL
And, far away, that evening bell
Again, again those sounds hear
Yet oh, how desolate and drea.
They seem to night--how like a knell
The music of that evening bell
Again the new moon in the west,
Scarce seen upon yon golden sky,
Hangs DER the mountain purple crest,
With one pale planet trembling nigh;
And beautiful her pearly light,
As when we blessed her beams last night;
But thou ART Ger the far blue sea,
And can only think on thee
