- We are informed that there have been
upwards of 5000 hogs and about 200 Beet
cattle slaughtered in this place-bcsides
near 5000 hogs which have been brought
here slaughtered. Averaging the hogs at
Ii75 pounds, and the beef cattle at 600,
which is a very low estimate, we have ready
for shipment l,223,000 pounds of pork and
10000 pounds Of beef-besidcs upwards
of Geo barrels of LARD and tallow. From
different statements we have seen, there
has been more hogs slaughtered in this
place than any other Of its size in this State,
and more than in towns of twice its popu-

tion that this is the first season any thing OF
the kind has been attempted, what may we

will be made TO carry on extensively mex

The BreVet.

We insert in another place, from the GazeH
of Tuesday evening the military brevet whrct
has been granted in honour of the birth day OF
the young Prince of Wales.
The scale of promotions has given very genera
satisfaction; the number OF officers promoted is
400. The three oldest generals of the army
have been raised to the title of Field Marshal
these are-Sir George Nugent,C Co., Grosvenor
and the Marquis of Anglesey. There are now
nine field marshals, viz.-The Duke of Wei
lington, the King of Hanover, the Duke Of
the BelgiaEs, Prince Albert, the King of the
Netherlands and the three who have been just
advanced to that exalted military rank. Sir
George Nugent is 80 years old, 70 of which
have been spent in his couutry's service. He
was for six years engaged in the first Ameri-
can war. Field Marshal Grosvenor is an officer
of SO years standing. The senior General is
now Sir George Cockburn; but the oldest Off
Ger in the army is Sir Martin Hunter, who en-
tered the service more than IS years ago. Four
teen lieutenant generals have been appointed to
the rank of generals.
Amongst the distinguished officers promoted
by this brevet it may not be out of place to
mention here the two galaent Naples. who
have shed such lustre on the British arms in
India, and Major General Berkscley, lately in
command of this district, and now on leave of
absence; both elevated to the rank of Lieuten-
ant General. Colonel John M'Donald, c. b.
well known and esteemed by the inhabitants of
Belfast as the Colonel of the 92d Hghlanders,
and at present in charge of this district, Lord
Sandys, scion of the noble house of Down
shire, and Sir Harry Smith, our brave country
man, thehero of Aliwal, have received the rank
of Major General; also, Lieutenant ColonelRaw-
don, member far the city of Armagh, who had
been promoted to the promoted to the rank of
Colonel. sr
There is also published in Tuesdays Gazette
a brevet in the Royal Artillery, the Royal En-
eiReers, the Royal Marines, and the Royal Ma

osse5lf BIZ: 3. HOWARD, ESQ.
Onward the vessel bears, like some huge chief
Who, pressd by numbers, slowly shuns the
fray:
Sternly defying theappaling reef e
She filings aside, as if in scorn, Its spray.
But still urged slowly on her desperate way
By wave succeeding wave, the rock she nears
The waters round in eddying whirlpools play,
She strikes! she groans ! the yawnining REM
Whilst Ger her pride the sea, its crest triumph
r ant rears. e
Hark frantic horror shrieks along her deck
The brave are silent, but their brows are pale
They gaze responding on the sev'ring wreck,
And turn their anguished faces to the gale
That bowls their funeral dirge. Ofno avail
To them is now the near and the craggy shore
Whose hooking echoes give them back the wal
OF the weak-hearted-in the breakers roar
The voice of hope is drown'd: home is for them
- no more.
hands of friends are wrung; the hurried
pray'r
OF those unused to pray, is mutter'd low;
Some strip, and for the rav'ning surge prepare,
And some of the pious resignation show
Of the tried spirit long enured to woe:
See, all remote, trembling mother weeps,
While to her breast her first born seems to grow
As to the moaning winds she rocking keeps,
Blest omen to all, serene the infant sleeps
For that unwean'd sweet, unsnning child,
The bolt of wrath may harmlessly be sped /:
1t may--it will. The gale has grown less Wild;
A light less lurid from the Heavns is shed;
Arouse We all, as wakend from the dead
A fearless boat comes bounding DER the sea,
Its oars are out, its storm-reef'd sail is spread;
Where danger is, there British hearts will be-
The life-boat's on the wave-the perild shall
a be free
The sea-imprison'd crew, with hope renew'd
Now cheer their saviours on,and hoarsely shout
Those heroes in the boat, with features rude,
And hearts as kindly as their frames are stout
Their way push bravely through the brinyrout
The small mast bends, but not their purpose
brave;
The thorough seaman on his subject wave
Fell Death alone can stop, when pressing on
to save.
Gold for the brave Joy to the rescued crew
The wreck is left-thc deep hath lost it prey.
TO the redeeming babe be honour due
TIL enraptured mother many future day
Shall, as she wipes the tear of joy away,
That nought the the need OF bravery can repay,
Like the sweet smiles of those that round shall
et press
The newly-pluck'd from death, their homes
once more to bless.

OUR NIMRoD's AUTOBIoGRPHY:

was born in March, in the midst of all sorts
OF weather and people. My life, thus far, has
been almost continual march. When / first
looked upon the world, the weather and several
of fathers bills were unsettled; consequently
was born in rain in poverty, in Conhecticrt
and in house. MY father, however,a as grew
up, had the care and means to give me mds
ding education, and good aogging when de=
served it, for which am obliged. The first 10
blessing that | shall never forget, and the
other dressing that can't help but remember
Under his kind care and cuffs, and fond moth
er's love and mince pies, progressed sadly in
digging potatoes and deviltry. On the 9th of
May, 1910, graduated in ten acre lot. and
had wide field before me, where the ssharyest
was ripe and the laborers few'--only one law
niger sleeping beside the fence, / graduated:
that is, father said was sufficient and would ssdo
to travel" So Ilocomoted. -

ADDRESSED To CITY DOG-KILLER.
Barney spare that pup!
Touch not single hair,
Of nights | tied him up
With all a masters care;
Look at his freaks of glee,
With grace and action fraught;
Then, Barney, let him be,
Thy hand shall harm him not.
Though other friends may fail,
He still remains to cheer
That dog with stumpy tail,
And short and pointed ear;
Then Barney, let him be-
That brindled pup of mine

be recollcct,d that, after Congress had been

! Mr. Polk claimed the Nueces as the boun-

he came into power, and on the banks Of
that river the Army Of Occupation was

10 the people Of the United States, for Mr..
