POETICAIl.

We believe it is some German poo
who. walking 'ssileni and thoughtful by
the solemn shore Of the vas, ocean W.
must sail so soon," thus speaks Of "Jh
Ship of Deaths"
BY the shore of Time now lying,
On the inky food beneath,
Patiently, thou Soul undying,
Waits for thee the Ship of Death!
He who on that vessel starteth,
Sailing from the sons of men,
To the friends from whom he parteth,
Never more returns again
From her mast no flag is flying,
To denote from whence she came,
She is known unto the dying
AzRAEL is her captains name.
Not word was ever spoken,
On that dark, unfathom'd sea;
Silence there is so unbroken,
She herself seems not to be.
Silent thus, in darkness lonely,
Doth the SOUL put forth alone,
While the wings of angels only
Wait her to LAND UNKNOWN.

TO TAKE THE LEAD

among the popular magazines of this coun-
try; and the host of imitatofs, who have
been constantly following oiling after
him in vain sufficient to attest his
brilliant success. The promptness with
which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by Others is a sufficient reason for
his not being very explicit ana exact iii his
promises of what is yet ito come. He
does not wish to lay out plans fer others
to follow. 1t is sufficient, however, to say
that all the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many
new ones, particularly attractive, in La
dy's Book and Family Magazine, will be
introduced. The useful and the elegant
will always be kept in view.
TO the Magazines alone we must look for
the etusions of the master-minds of Liter

Messrs. Editors-Can you inform the public what

the st. Charles this season! Now that the mana
gers have both theatres under their control do thew
intend to extend to our native artists the encourage
ment their merits entitle them to or arc they to
give way to those from abroad,
Are Miss Cushman, Mrs. Mowatt and Mr.. Nea6s
engaged The theatre. going people are no. much
pleased with the monopoly business, and the surest
way for the managers to satisfy the public is to in.
crease the strength and talent Of their stock com.
pany, and to display corresponding liberali,y in
the selection Of stars for their approval and sup.
port. We can now successfully compete with Eu.
rope in Shakspearean delneators, at least, and as
proof Of the assertion it is only necessary to point
to Miss Cushman. Mrs. Mowatt, Mr. Forrest and
Mr.. Neafe-and in the representation of Irish
character we have Barney Williams. Please On.
tighten Us, Mr.. Crescent, if possible, and much
oblige many PLAY.GoERs.

Later from Mortevtdso--By the arrival of the
U. s. storeship Relief at New York, we have in.
tsllgencs to September 10.
The Brazilian army, composed Of Germans and
Dutchmen, had, after several small fights, crossed
the Rubicon. An armistice OF three days was ef-
fected on the 7th of September, through the
French Admiral. 1t was offered to General Ro-
sas, who finds himself with his army between two
hostile armies, to convey him and his staff safely
to Buenos Ayres, but for the rest of the troops to
surrender With the agreement of Commodore
Isaac MsKsever, the u. S. brig cambridge was
offered for such purpose; but Rosas, or his COM
manding general declared that he would sooner
fight his way through than surrender on such
terms. These are the data up to this day, Sep
tember TO- The state of Montsvidso itself is de-
plorable. large number Of houses are left by
their inhabitants, and stand free to the use of any
body. The principal part Of the Americans and
Englishmen have retired to Buceo. Provisions Of
every kind are dear, and beef even as high as five
cents per Id.

Mr. Zsvely, the special agent of the Post office
Department. is actively pursuing his inquiries as 10
the possibility of an increase of speed in the mail
service between New York and New Orleans.
We learn from our exchanges that his investisa-
lions on the route have fully satisfied him that q
gain of twenty four hours over the time at present
consumed inthe transmission of the mail, can BE-
Effected between the two points indicated. Nine.
teen hours Of this time will be saved between New
York and Mobile, and the remainder TO be effected
between the latter city and New Orleans This
increased speed, it is thought, can be accomplished
without abridging the time allowed on the route to
secure connections at difficult points.
