A sea captain, being just come ashore,
was invited by some gentlemen to hunt
lng-match. After the sport was over,
he gave his friends this particular account
Of what pastime he had xxx.
Our horses being completely rugged
we manned them. and the wind being
S. W., twenty of US being in company
away we set overthe downs. In the time
of half watch we spied hare under sail !
we tackled and stood after her; coming up
close, she tackled, and we tackled, upon
which tack had like to have run aground
but getting close, off stood after hel
again; but, as the devii would have it, just
about to lay her aboard, bearing too much
wind, | and my horse went on our beams

D TITO Q
THE OLD WORLD.
Ut GEORGE LuEr.

From Grahom's Maya zine for May.
There was once world and brave old worlt
Away 10 the ancient time,
When the men we're brave and the women fair
And the world was in its prime;
And the priest he had bis book.
Ard the scholar bad his gown,
And the old knight stout he walked about
With his broadsword hanging down.
Ye may see this world was brave old world,
In the days losg past and gone,
And the sun it shone, and the rain II rained,
And the world went merrily on.
The shepherd kept bis sheep,
And the milkmaid MIXED the kline,
And the serving man was a sturdy loon
In cap and doublet fine.
And I've been told 10 this brave old world
There were jolly times and free,
And they danced and sung till the welkin rung,
All under the greenwood tree.
The sexton chimed his sweet sweet bells,
And the huntsmsn blew his horn,
And the hunt went out with a merry shout,
Beneath the jovial morn.
Oh, the golden days of the brave old world
Made hall and cottage shine;
The squire he sat in his osken chair
anu uuducu tue soou iti HIHtB
The lovely village maiden,
She was the village queen,
And by the mass tripped through the grass
To the May.pole on the green.
When trumpets reused the brave old world
And banners aoated wide.
The knight bestrode the stalwart steed
And the page rode by his side.
And plumes and pennons tossing bright
Dashed through the wild melee,
And he who pressed amid them BEST
Was lord Of all that day.
The ladies' fair in the brave old W ord,
They rul'd with wondrous sway;
Aut the stoutest knight, he was lord of right,
As the strongest is to-day
The baron bold he kept his hold,
Her bower his bright ladye,
But the forester kept the good greenwood,
All under the forest tree.
On, how they laughed in the brave old world,
And flung grim Care away!
And when they were tired of working
They held it time to play
The bookman was reverend wight,
With studions face so pale,
And the curfew bell, with its sullen swell,
Broke duly on the gale.
And so passed on, in the brave old world,
Those merry days and free;
The King drank wine and the clown drank ale,
Each man in his degree.
And some ruled well and some ruled I'LL,
And thus passed on the time,
With jolly ways in those brave old days
When the world was in its prime.

Mr.. Profit is TO go to Rio

pires IN June next, prior to which MIR.
Profit rs to 90. The President has so de
cided and IT remains with Mr. Webster
to carry out his Instructions, the President
having given the necessary directions be
| fore the Secretary left the CITY. This
you may rely upon, unless the Preslden,
changes has mini, which no man can say
will not happen, it beng his popularity
that he unites obstinacy of purpose, with
the most extraordinary versatility that ever
characterised human being.
Congress having made no appropria-
ton, however, fer the Rio mission, Mr..
Profit will have 10 go without the regular
outfit, unless the next Congress give il to
him. Besides, he will have 10 run the
risk of a confirmation by the Senate
The probability is, as think, that under
these circumstances Congress will give
him the outfit, and cut down the full mis-.
sion to Charge.
w. w. IRWIN is hero and hns CHAINED
leave OF absence for week longer. In
the interim instructions will be prepared
for him in relation to the subject OF our
claim on Denmark. An important doc.
ument, published by orler of Congress,
containing much valuable matter in rela-
ton thereto has just beer discovered,
which will throw additional light upon the
subject. All the official papers, (respect
ing the claim, think 1t is paul Joness,"
which is of considerable magnitude) were
destroyed, with the host of others, al the
burning of the Capitol; but the docu-
ment referred to is report Of the Senate
Committee on tie subject, made previous
to the invasion OF the British into Wash
ington, with copious appendix giving
the action of the Old Continental Congress
and foreign correspondence Of much val
ue, relative to the value, character and
Justice of all their claims.
Mr.. Webster is expected to return in
season to prepare the necessary instruc-
tons covering :he subject Of the Danish
claims.

TO publish plain and concise statement
of facts
For the present I shall not notice the
vile attack Of the Madisonian and much

The first intimation | had was from Mr..

the close of the quarter, and showed me
communication from the Post Master
General, informing him that he was ap-
pointed postmaster in this city, and drec-
ting him TO send on the necessary bonds,
when his commission should issue. told
Mr.. w. that should not give up the of

advised him to apprise the Post Master
General to TINT effect. Late in the after
noon Of 3lst March, the last day of the
quarter, Mr.. WATSON received his COM
mission, which he showed to me. at once
determined to give up the Office, and did
so that night, although the Post Master
General had not condescended to write me
on the subject. When removed by Mr..
Van Buren,, had fourteen days notice TO
call in my accounts and close the business
of my office but on this occasion had
