EFFECTS OF KINDNEss.-Mrs Child a

labours of Dorothea L.. Dix to amelorate
the condition of the insane and vicious in
our prisons. Mrs ChiId's article closas

accomplished had so far, equalled her ex-
pectations. She said it had; and that her
faith in the power Of kindness, over the in
sane and vicious. had been more than con-

brought her into companionship, she has not

PRISON LAY.
1HE FOLLOWING LINES WERE WRITTEN
THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER IN CLoSM
SAoL A FEW DAYS AFTER HIS SENTENCE:
1 love, 1 love these grey, old walls!
Although a chilling shadow falls
Along the iron gated halls,
And in the silent, narrow cells,
Brooding darky dwels.
Oh still 1 love them-for the hours
Within them spent, are set with flowers
That blossom, spite of wind and showers
And though that shadow dull and cold.
Emit their sparks of blue and gold
Bright flowers of mirth THAT wildly spring
From fresh young hearts, and DER them fling
Like Indian birds with sparkling wing,
Seeds OF sweetness, grains all flowing
Sun gilt leaves, with dew-drops flowing.
And hopes as bright, that softly CLEAN,
Like stars which DER the church yard stream
beauty on each fsrded dream
Mingling the light they purely shed
With other hopes, whose light has fed
Fond mem'ries, too, undimmed with sishs
Whose fragrant sunshine never dies
Whose summer song bird never flies
These, too, chasing, hour by hour
The clouds which round this prison lower
And thus from hour to hour, I'vc grown
To love these walls, though dark and lone,
And fondy prize each grey old stone,
Which filings the shadow, deep and chill
Across my fettered footsteps still.
Yet let these mem'ries fall and flow =
Within my heart like waves that glow
Unseen in spangled below
The foam which frets, the msts which sweep
The changeful surface of the deep.
Not so the many hopes that bloom
Amid this voiccless waste and gloom
strewng my path way the tomb
As though il were a bridal bed
And not the prison of the dead.
would those hopes were traced in fire,
Beyond these walls above that spire-
Amid yon blue and starry choir
Whose sounds play round with the streams
Which glitter in the white moons beams
I'd twine those hopes above our Isle
Above the rah and ruined pile,
Above each glen, and rough defle-
The holy-well-the Druid's shrine
Above them all, these hopes I'D twine
So should triumph DER my fate
And teach this poor, despondng state,
In signs of tenderness, not hate,
Still to think of her old story,
Still to hope for future glory.
Within these walls, these hopes have been
The music sweet, the light serene,
Which softly o'er this silent scene,
How like the autumn streamlcts flowed,
And like the Autumn sunshine glowed.
And thus from hour to hour I've grown
To love these walls though dark and lone,
And fondy prize each grey old stone
That filings the shadow, deep and chill,
Across my fettered footsteps still.

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK. We understand
that a curious astronomical clock is at pres
ent being constructed in the vicinity Of Liver
pool bv E. Henderson, LID, &c, from
series Of very intricate calculus and compli-
Gated projections, which has engrossed
large share of his time and attention since
1914. This clock, when finished. will COM
pletely throw into the shade the celebrated
''horologies" of antiquity aud clocks and
planetaria Of modern times. Hitherto such
pieces of mechanism have exhibited very GU
rious results. but they have been Inaccurate
in their motions. revolutions. and phenomena
so much so that. at the end of a year or two,
the machines gave out indications very vide
of.he truth, and required to be recti6ed.
This in great measure, arose from the
inaccuracy of the calculations, produced
from wrong basis, and such forinalB
thrown into wbeelwork. The present clock
will entirely obviate such errors, as It Is
calculated so finely that in many of the no-s
tions by the wheeIwosk il will not err one

the time we left there was no news Of
her arrival ~ Panama.
The government here is much trou-
BLEED and alarmed by the landing Of a body

when running for this place, was
chased by steam-frigate, but kept my

RIOT IN NEW ORLEANS.

Baltimore, Aug. 25th.
The Charleston papers, of Saturday,
received tonight, have dispatches from
New Orleans under date Of the 2lst
inst, stating that party Of Cuban Ii
berators, mostly western men, exaspe
rated BY the tone of certain articles in
the Spanish paper, /" La Patrie," in re-
lation to Cuba, published on the after
noon of that day, attacked the Office,
broke in the doors and windows, and
then threw the presses, cases types and
furniture into the streets, and destroy
cd every thirg belonging to the office.
There was no interference on the part
Of the police.
The mob then, after demolishing the
Union Office, proceeded to the segar
store, corner Of st. Charles and Ora
vier streets, and breaking in the doors
and windows, DESTROYED all the stock
and furniture, which were very vaIua-
bic. AT o'clock the rioters proceeded
to the Office Of the Spanish Consul, and
attacking it. destroyed thedesks, of
fee furniture. and property ofall kinds.
They also broke down signs over the
stores and Offices Of Spaniards, which
they carried in triumph to- large meet
ing being held in Lafayette Square.
Another despatch from Orleans, da-
ted the 22I, states that two thousand
men had that morning surrounded the
city prison, where the Spanish Consul
had taken refuge, and threatened to de-
molish it, unless the Consul was deliver
ed up to them.
There were about fifty police on the
ground.
The segar shops kept by Spaniards
were nearly all destroyed last night.
Minute guns have been fired since
sunrise, in honor of the murdered liberia
tors.
The bodies of Col. Crittenden and
Capt. Victor Kerr, which have been
brought bere from Havana, attract ma
[ny visitors, and produce much feeling.
