Niblo's, in Broadway, and the former adjoining Peale,s
Museum, in August. BY September, Pemberton had got
but his store was found 10 be nearly empty. and he was
arretted under the Stillwell Act and carried before
Judge Oakley. Here he told an exceedingly plausible
story, and managed to get at large. On the 26th Sen.
TENDER he absconded. and his wife (who is Venables,
sistsr) soon followed him. During the month of Octo.

to the creditors. that he had been induced to defrauA
them by the instigation of Venables, and communicated
with them as to the manner in which the goods had been

Pemberton, with which to carry on his business, and the
only goods that he received from him was to secure him

ITALIAN OrERA IN New ORLEASs.-We perceive
by the New Orleans papers that "Somnambula"

that capital-but hitherto, from some underhand in

We were Boys Together.


We were boys together,
And never can forget
The school-house near the heather,
In childhood where we met
Nor the green home TO memory dear,
Its sorrows aud isjoys,
Which called the transient smile or tear
When you and we're boys.
We were youths together,
And castles built in air
Your heart was like feather,
While mine was dashd with care.
To you came wealth with manhoods prime,
To me If brought alloys
Meier inaged in the primrose time
When you and were boys.
We're old men together,
The friends we loved Of yore
With leaves of autumn weather,
Are gone for evermore.
How blessed to age the impulse given
The hope time ne'er destroys
Which led our thoughts from earth to heaven,
When you and were boys.
