The peasants died in the famine fever
And their broken hearts are at rest for ever!
But one of the dead was so heavenly fair,
That demons themselves might her young life spare.
But the famine has sealed that tasIi blue eye,
Those silken locks meath the cold earth lie,
And the silvery voice of the Suir'r soft wave
Sings funeral dirge o'er the peasants grave.

lous indeed must be the heart of him who can
stand by a little grave side and not have the
holiest emotions of the soul awakend to the
thoughts of that purity q joy which belong alone
to God and Heaven; for the mute preacher at
his feet tells him of lite begun and life ended.
to mortality, how much purer and holier must be
the spiritual land, enlightened by the sun Of inf
mite goodness, whence emanated the soul, brief
young sojourner among US! How swells the
heart Of parent with mournful joy, while stand

Mournful because sweet treasure is taken
away, joyful because that precious treasure
plitters in the diadem Of the Redeemer.

The MYSTERIES or THE ToMBs-TgrAL OF rHE
DRURYs.-This very singular and mysterious case,
with lis subsidiary chapters running in all direc-
tons, is stated by the newspapers to be set down
for trial this week or next. Whenever il may
come on II will create a deep interest in the minds
of the community, in consequence OF the various
strange 'ales and stories told about il IN some of
the weekly journals. Many remarkable personages
are mixed up in this affair. The Drurys are
not alone II it. We have Arlington Bennett,
Marcus Cicero Stanly, One-eyed Thomson. Bris-
'ol Fill, George Wilkes, Mr.. Warner, Mr.. Foster,
the broker. and we don't know how many other
distinguished personsges. The crimes embraced
in these mysteries and charged to certain
of the parties, are equally NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

tie rays 81 indignation seemed all at once to con-
centra,e On HIM. Whether the sequel will unravel
all these mysteries we can't tell. but we have thus
far very strong doubts that all is not right IN some
quarter and that there has been great deal OF stool

The JEWELS a. THE PRINCE OF OaANGE.-We
have already giveaa brief account, through our
Washington correspondence, OF the petition OF
Mr.. Seely, recently presented by Mr.. Clay to the
Senate of the United States, in reference to the
breach of the oblgstion entered into by the Dutch
government towards HIM, for his labors IN recover
ing the famous jewels Of the Prince Of Orange Sc
veral years ago. We have received from our po-
lice reporter here, brief narrative of the arrest OF
the thieves IN this city, as It was known to the
police at that time, and the subsequent abduction
Of Polari by the conAivance of certain parties In
this city, and sending him TO Europe in charge OF
certain police officers. II seems by this statement,
that some Of the employees In the Custom Ho' use
at that time, received the reward, which was
$40 OOO according to al accounts; and j. is lntm It.
ed in our report, that M. NJ Noah, taen Surveyor OF
Of the port, was very instrumental in some of the
movements, and received portion Of the reward
or, as he would probably call it, "black mail" We
should like to know whether this is so or not, fol
he still holds sinecure office in the Custom House
and it may have some effect in his continuance in
that position, under the present administration. II
seems, however, by the Developments now made
both at Washington and here, that Mr. Seely, who
abandoned very lucrative business at that period
in order to the nteres SITS of the Dutch govern
ment has received little nothing for his service.
| from the authorities of that country-a meanness
which private individual would not perpetrate in

or monarch SO wealthy and able to pay as that O

ington, before the termination of the present session

Washington correspondent of a contemporary de-
mes very Indignantly the intimatIon that Senator
Seward and bis clique in this State are making
arrangements TO bring forward General scott as a
candidate for the next Presidency, in order TO lay
Gen. Taylor on the shelf They may deny the as.
ssr,ion as much as they please, but we have more
faith in the intimation which has been communi.
Gated TO us on this subject, than we have in ord-
nary cases Of political intrigue. No doubt Sena.
tor Seward and his clique endeavor to amuse Ge.
neral Tsyl and his cabinet by representing that
he is their warm, decided, positive and unchange.

CONVERSATION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMON
CoUEcn.-We observe that the new Common
Council have taken up the subject of compensation
to the individual members, and SEINE disposition
seems to be shown favorable to the abolition of
all tea-room fooleries and to the enactment of
regular provision for the payment Of the Aldermen
and Assistants, on the same principle adopted by
Congress and the State legislatures. Some of the
Aldermen proposed to enact such corporation law;
others thought that the new charter would give
sufficient authority TO the present Common Coun-
Gill; This last opinion we deem to be the most
correct one. There seems TO be the same authori-
iy In the existing charter 10 give compensation to
members Of the Common Council, as there is to
provide salaries for members Of other executive
Offices specially elected It's, therefore, entirely an
unnecessary matter to applyito the Legislature for
any act, when the INSTRUMENT under which they
hold confers sufficient authority for this purpose
Let both boards therefore promptly, and at once,
pass city law for the purpose OF paying for the
Aldermen and Assistants All executive powers
are, by the charter, taken from these boards, and,
consequently, every indecent act OF stealing and
plundering, under the name of the tea room, and
every attempt TO apply il to their own purposes, are
wrong. We must have reform. To prevent a
thief from stealing beef and pork, you must give
work, and the means Of getting honestly what he
wants of beef, pork md other articles for his SUBJ
sisience. Let the two boards pay themselves out
OF the funds ofthe Corporation. and literally, too.
The people will support this policy But let them,
at the same time, insist upon a rigorous inquiry
and investigation into the several executive de-
partments.

ATTACKS OF THE DOMINICAN FLEET ON the HAYTIEN
PoRTs-ADDITIoNAL PARTICULARS OF THE NAVAL
BATTLE.
The schooner Peerless, Capt. Conklin, arrived
yesterday from Jeremie, with intelligence from
that place to the 4th inst.
We learn from Capt. G. that the Dominican and
Haytien fleets have had an engagement near AJAX
Cages, the former battering IN the side of one OF
the Haytisn n-of-war; but the latter escaped by
running into shoal water, between La Vache and
PsInt Abacon; that the Dominican fleet had bonl-
barded and burnt Port REVERE, reducing it to
ashes, and also bcmbarded Dame Marie and seve-
raj other small ports;- that the Emperor of Hayti
had put the monopoly law on to seventy additional
articles, including lumber and other articles OF
import; that there is no chance for foreigners
there,Ca our produce is very low, and coffee and
logwood very scarce and high, as the drogers dare
not GO after it, being afraid of the fleet; and that
while proceeding along the coast for the purpose of
getting cargo, his vessel, the Peerless, was fired
at BY one of the Hayden men of war; he having
the American colors hoisted, but he supposes they
took him tor Dominican.
We also learn from Capt. Conklin, that some
foreign merchants are about giving up busi-
ness on account of the monopoly law.
