DESPONDENCY,

There is blank within tho soul, void within the
heart,
A struggle for feeling that life cannot impnrt;
Thick clouds Of sadness hang above and s6roud all
hope in gloom,
And sorrow kills each budding thought, and makes
the mind tomb.
No tempest rules the sinking heart no passion leaves
its lair,
But sullen silence holds It back, in motonlcss dcu
pair
And madness would te welcome, or denth would
shed light,
When doubt and darkness keep The soul in evcrInst
Ting night.
Vain is each wish that lifts The sight 10 rest
bright spot,
For all around is dcsolatc, forgctfnl and fo:got;
Tears have feeling in them like morning dcws TO
earth
They shed moisture DER tho soul, cxpelIing all It's
dcarth.
But when the clouds are hanging beneath n burning
sky,
The flowers and the foiago must withcr, fade and
die;
Teurs are the outlet Oft he heart, when filled with
deepest woe,
But whcn'a stream is stagnunt its waters canno'
flow.
The Eagle feels the that brings him from the
sky,
And takes his last look at those scenes that quit his
quivcrng eye;
His lofty spirit yet would rise when power gave i,
BIRTH
But vuin the struggle with the weight that crushcs
him TO earth.
Man hath Eugc spirit too that makes its hoIdes,
fight,
Amid those stars that brightly she'd upon his path
their light,
But smitc his spirit in its course and hurl it back
again,
A sigh will tell its ruin, where sorrow marked it's
reign.

Considerable feeling has been lately aroused
here against the principals Of the firm of Prime,
Ward & King, arising, l believe, from the as
sertiOn that they have received large sums Of
money on trust, which they used in payment
of losses from previous speculations, knowing
at the same time that their affairs were in a
state of bankruptcy. This is scarcely to be
credited of such men, but be it true or false,
certain tits that all the principals of the firm
have been arrested under SillpeH warrants,
which can only be put in force when very
strong evidence Of fraud is given; and at this

expressing his deep regret at the course taken
BY the Syracuse Convention in suppressing the
Resolutions offered in favor Of the 'ProViso,'
thereby encouraging the South in their efforts
to extend the area Of Slavery, he detailed the
private history Of the sProviso,' claiming it as
an original suggestion Of his own made by him
at d dinner-table conversation between himself
and Hon. II. Hamlin, Of Name, Robert Dale

colleagues from Pennsylvania, upon the sub
ject Of the Three Million appropriation asked

Of it except Mr., Owen. lie stated that the

Of a large number of the Democratic Members

STEAMBOAT ExrLosIoN.-We find The follow

21d:
"The steamer Caroline, from Pitisburg,
bound to Pearl river, bursted one of her boilers
this morning, in the schultz Of Wabash Island,
BY which accident, Mr.. VIM. Peacock, Of Pitts
burg, a passenger on her, was killed, and four
other persons belonging to the boat, (dsck
hands and frcmen, 1 believeD were badly
scalded. One Of them has since died.
This accident was caused BY a bad sheet in
the boiler where II buFsted. The iron was but
little thicker than the iroa Of which our chin.
MES are made"
The above isthe boat that was mentioned in
our paper some weeks since as intended for the
navigation Of the Pearl River. We regret the
unfortunate accident, and hope the rascally
manufacturers Of her boiler Will be made to
suffer some.
