Here, where young Summer weaves
A screen of tender leaves,
Over thy grave,
And the wood-robns wing
Around is flutterng,
Thy requiem we sing,
Friend OF the slave!
Here, in this Ieafy aisle,
monumental pile
To thee we rear;
That strangers as they're led,
These shady paths to tread,
May nger by thy bed,
And drop tear.
Why, brother, should we MOURN
Long hadst thou bravely borne
A false worlds frown:
Yet He, for whose dear sake,
Thou didst that burden take,
We'll knoWest how to make
Thy cross thy crown.
How gIowed thy lips, thy pen,
When for thy fellow men,
For e'en the thrall,
Thy spirit dared to be,
With Gods own freedom free,
And publish His Decree
FREEDOM FOR ALP
Tears-manly tears-will yet
These cold mute marbles wet,
Servant of God,
And clouds, in mourning drest
Low trailing from the West,
And stars, that watch thy rest,

FROM BUENOS AYERS.

BY the barque Potomac, Captain Bearsei we
learn that the u. s. ship Columbus, bearing The
broad pennant of Commodore Turner, and the
frigate Columbia, Captain Shubrick, were at
Montevideo on the Sth of November, all well.
Commodore Turner was at Buenos Ayers, at
tending to the affair Of the ship Herald, Of this
port before reported as seized by that govern
ment. The Herald was delivered up to Com. T.
on condition of her being sent home in charge Of
naval officer.
The blockade was still kept up, and was ac-
knowledged by all nations.
It was expected that Montevideo would sur
render every day, the inhabitants being Apretty
we'll starved oui." Vs.
The proclamation of non-interference, issued
by the French Admiral, was not regarded by the
French residents The latter had formed them
selves into an independent guard to defend Mon
tivideo and whenever the Buenos Ayreans
caught Frenchman in the ranks of the enemy
in skirmish, they Immediately cut his throat.
Many Frenchmen have thus fallen victims to
their disregard Of the Admral's proclamation.

ARRESTS FOR THE ROBBERY OF PoMERoY's Ex-
PREss.-The western train yesterday afternoon
brought the astounding intelligence of the arrest
of Mr.. Philo N. Rust, proprietor of the Syracuse
House, on suspicion Of having been concerned in
the robbery of Pomeroy's trunk and money.
The arrest is said to have been made at 6
o'clock yesterday morning, by the Sheriff of Erie
county who had already arrested supposed
accomplish of the name Of Banks.
We have heard few particulars, and those
too vague 10 be repeated. Nor do we pretend
TO know how far they justify this step, or what
the actual grounds Of suspicion are We hope
il may prove to be groundless suspicion II is
difficult TO believe that Mr.. r. could have been
in any manner connected with the robbery.
The New York Aurora says that they learn by
gentleman from Albany, that the principal
ground for these arrests, is the finding upon the
prisoners of FIVE or six thousand dollars of the
kind of money in Pomeroys trunk, which they
cannot account for.

GREAT RIoT-SEvERAL LIVES ENDANGERED
About O'Clock last evening, riot broke out in
the Railroad House, Dutch tavern, kept by
Earl Seigle. m HI
II appears that the Dutch were holding ball
in the house-that number of men were in the
bar room, and among the company was a young
man by the name Of VIM. Blake, who either
was, or affected to be, under the influence of
liquor.
He was around the bar, in which was the land
lord and woman, and took hold of decanter
of liquor, which was seized by the woman, who
attempted to rescue it from lis grasp; but fail
ing. Blake pulled the decanter upon the floor, at
which the woman slapped him in the face--the
landlord at the same time grasping from under
scream, fired at Blake, who stood two or three
PAGES from him-the ball entering under the
right ear and passing into the under jaw, sepa-
rating an artery. He fell upon the floor, was
dragged to the door, and was kicked off the steps
by the woman.
number of pistols were discharged at short
intervals into the crowd, and in the course of
few minutes, the inmates fastened the doors, and
continued the firing from the upper windows.
One boy was slightly wounded in the forehead,
another in the arm, and another in the leg.
At this juncure, the Syracuse Cadets were or
dered out by the sheriff, and were soon at their
posts, prepared to restore order at the point of
the bayonet. The inmates were ordered to open
the doors, which they refused. The Cadets
then entered by force, and commenced dligent
search for the actors in this dreadful tragedy
the house at the same time being surrounded to
intercept their escape. The landlord was found
secreted in closet, and with eight or ten of his
associates, was conducted to jail to await their
trial.
The scene created much excitement and as
it is often the case in similar outbreaks, de-
struction of furniture, &c. followed, which adj
mits of little or no justification.
The ball was extracted from young Blake's
jaw, and we learn that he is likely to recover
