am greatly pleased at
the communication, in the News of the 5th
inst, requesting the owners of..the steamer
Perry to alter their hour of departure from
8 to 7 o'clock, a. m, thus enabling persons
to leave here at seasonable hour in the
morning, and via the Providence and Hart
ford railroad reached N. Y. before tea.-
From this season on until summer, this
would be the route over all others from
this place. To families and invalids il
would especially be preferred. 1t will be
an era in the history of Newport when one
can. leave hare at reasonable hour in the
morning, and reach N. Y. the same day
before dark. trust, Mr. Editor, you will
call the attention of the owners of the Perry
to this subject.

ABOUT WAsHsGTos.-A correspondent
of the Petersburg Express of Charleston,
Virginia, communicates 'ee following
story, which, if true, is very singular:
Washington was accustomed to wear to
his watch two seals, one gold and the other
silver Upon oGo of them the letters &.
w. were engraved, or rather cut. These
seals he wore as early as 1854, and they
were about his person on the terrible day
of Braddock's defeat. On that day he
lost the silver seal. The gold one re-
mained with the General until the day of
his death, and was then given by him to
his nephew, gentleman of Virginia, who
carefully preserved it until about seventeen
years ago, when riding over his farm, he
dropped it. The other day the gold seal,
lost seventeen years ago, was ploughed
up, recognized from the letters G. w. on
it, and restored to the son of the gentleman
to whom Washington presented it. AT
almost the same time, the silver seal, lost
in l754, Just one hundred years ago, was
ploughed up on the site in which Braddock
was defeated and in like manner recogniz-
ed from the letters G.. w. So that in
very short time the companions will be
again united. have this statement from
the most reliable source possible, namely,
from the gentleman himself, who has thus
restored to him those precious mementos
of his great ancestor. The affair is but
one more proof of an o!,-stlted maxim, that
truth beggers fiction in ST. ngeness. re-
peat, there is not the slightest cxaggeration
or mis.statomcnt in the matter, and room for
mistake. In legal phrascology, the truth
excludes every other hypothesis.

Poems, by Thomas William Parsons
Boston: Ticknor g. Fields. 1854.
There is more Of the genuine sivcry
ring of true poetry in this neat volume than
we have found in the productions of any
modern poet for q long time. DR.. Parsons
does not write proalselY but every thing
from his pen is thoroughly and we'll written;
and while his lines are beautifully and &C.
curately constructed, still, he never sacr-
! !iqca he sense or truth Of what he has to
r.er, norder TO make the ryihm and mea-
sure unusually even and polished. There
is not an Indifferent poem in the collection,
--and this is saying good deal, for the
volume contains about 200 pages. The
author is not only we'll known and appreci.
ated by his own productions, but also as the
translator of a portion OF Dantes' works
this was received with great favor, and il
is to be hoped that DR.. Parsons will yet
find time to complete a work which has
thus fa, been so admirably executed
Ticknor and Fields have done good deed
in bringing out this volume, and they have
issued it in their usual iaultless style; il will
be read by all lovers of true poetry.

Mr. Giles, byihs published works, and
spoken addresses, has estabhshethfor HIM
self an enduring reputation as one of the
boldest and most original thinkers, and one
of the ablest essaysts of the present day,
either in this country or Europe. His ad-
mirers will greet this new volume with
pleasure, for it is equal, if not superior, to
any which have preceded it. 1t is book
which the man of refinement and cul-
tivNed Intellectual taste will sca;c,ly be
able to lay aside, until its entire contents
have been carefully perusod. The depth
and grandeur Of thought, the clear, power
ful and melodious language, and the pure
poetry Of style Of the author make lasting
impression on the mind of the reader his
writings cannot b, initiated, and it needs
not his name upon the title page, to inform
any one who is familiar with HI writings,
that he is absorbed in a new production by
The gifted Giles. We shoAd. lke.to quote
largely from the book, for the qualification
Of our readers, because we know that they
would enjoy the reading; but tn, difficulty
is we do not know where to begin
or where to stop, in culling ger
from such an intellectual paradsc,--we,
therefore, advise all to purchase the book,
and read the whole for themselves, and
they will thank us for the suggestion.
