THE STEAMSHIP PRESIDENT.

The Madrid SPAIN Gazette asserts that the
Minister of the Interior had received a com.
municatiod from the political chief OF Guipuz.
lea, announcing that a bottle had been found
floating in the water, near Motrco, Spain, con.
tanning paper, of the contents of which the
following words only could be deciphered.
Ship President We are blocked up in
ce, and we can't live much time
Kind friends will acquaint
We are dying of hunger
| avn fainting Tiff
The bottle was found by some fishermen
and handed to the Alcade Of Motrico, a few
leagues from ST. Sebastian A copy of the
paper has been communicated TO the British
Minister.
The London Literary Gazette, in abiding
to this account, says:
"The probability is that the unfortunate
steamer went down nearly when last seen, and
owing to the weight of her machinery, is float
ing now, unbroken and without fragments sent
to the surface, at a sad mid depth Of ocean, as
the strong current ofthese seas wait her hulk
10 and fro. At some future time, when the per:
ishlng wood is separated from the heavy iron;
and the latter sinks, the last vestigc of the Pres
ident may be met with on the Atlantic wave.
This opinion is much strengthened by the fol-
lowing notice from the Pacific Ocean:
On the S0th OF December, a part of the
hulk Of the Hanbra, or Cleopatra's Barge,
wrecked some fifteen or twenty years ago,
started up from its watery bed and washed 6p-
on the shore Many OF the oak timbers are in
quite a sound state, except so far as perforated
by the ship worm"

RosAs. -Rosas, the President of BueuGs
Ayres, may be regarded as one of the mo t
remarkable men ofthe age. For q numbeg
OF years ne has exercised despotic power
over a nation designated as Republic! Ey
some he is represented as fierce ambition
inscriptions tyrant; by others as a brave,
hIgh-mlnded, patriotic soldier and Law
glVer. The course which he has adopt
IN relation to England and France, in def
Ing their combined power, and in maintain
ing principles which he believes to be rig I
--and In supporting the national honor
has attracted the attention OF all nations.
Rosas was born in Buenos Ayres. H.
was the son of a distinguished officer who
while in captivity among the Indians, Z.
tanned over them a complete ascendancy
which he employed for the benefit of his
own couutrymen. And it is thought that
the President owes his extraordinary Don
uIarity not less to the strength ofhscharac-
ter than to his supposed determination TO
drive the Indians from the territory. Mr..
Darwin, when crossing the Pampas from
Bahia Blanca to Buenos Ayres, some seven
or eight years ago, had an interview with
Gen. RoSas, to whom he thus aludeS in his
recently published journal:
"He is man Of an extraordinary char
acter, and has most predominant unfit
ence inthe countrywhich it seems probable
that ne will use to its prosperity and adj
yancement He is said to be the owner of
seventy four SQUARE leagues of land, and
to have about 100000 head of cattle. His
estates are admirably managed. and are far
more productive Of corn than any others.
He first gained his celebrity by his laws for
his own eslan cias, and by disciplining
several hundred men, so as to resist with
success the attacks Of the Indians"

And knit in wrath your honest brows.

POETRY.
THE POOR MANS GRAVE.


No sable pail, no waving plume,
No thousand torch.lights to ilume:
No parting glance, no heavy tear,
Is seen TO fall upon the bier.
There is not one of kindred clay
To watch the coffin on its way;
Memorial form, no human breast
Cares where the pauper's dust may rest,
But one deep mourner follows there,
Whose griefout.lives the funeral prayer;
He does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodlcss heap.
IT'S he who was the poor mans mate,
And made him more content with fate;
The mongrel dog that shar'd his crust
Is all that stands beside his dust.
He bends his listening head, as though
He thought to hear voice below
He pines to hear that voice so kind,
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come,
He needs no food-hc seeks no home;
But stretched upon the drcamIcss bed,
With doleful howls calls back the dead
The passing gaze may coldIy dwell
On all that polsh'd marbles tell
For temples built on church.yard earth
Are claimed by riches. more than worlh.
But who would mark with undmn'd eyes,
The mourning dog thai sarvcs aud dics2
Who wonId no, ask, who would not crave
Such love and faith to guard his grave?
