SALE OF THE ADRIATIC.-The sale of the steam
ship Adriatic to the Galway Company was the
theme Of conversation yesterday in Wall street, in
which no little regret was expressed that the last
steamer built by Steers, ana the one of which
Americans had most reason to be proud, should
have passed into the hands of n FOREIGN eomnanv
and that too at a ruinous sacrifice, as compared
with her original cost. The negotiations have
been going on for two months, the Panama Com
pany, who owned fve.ninths of the stock of the
North Atlantic Company, against four-ninths own
ed by the Pacific Mail Company, opposing the
sale. The influence of Mr.. Aspinwai, agent of
the Galway line, in connection with the Pacific
Mail Company finally carried the day. The
P@utchase-m0ney @ had not been paid up to yesterday
Iut W the sale was considered as concluded. The
North Atlantic Company expended some $4,000
on on her engines making her cost about ST. 200 OOO

Alas that the Star Spangled Banner should fall,
And trail lis bright folds in the dust
And madmen should seek, in their rage to enthrall
The Freemen who made it their trust.
Virginia, thou home of the free and the brave.
Arise from thy lethargic sleep, -
Employ all thy power thy country to save,
That we may our liberties keep.
Oh! think how our sires for that emblem once
stroye,
Through fire and smoke to their death;
Resolved that no son of those heroes shall prove
Recreant while yet they have breath. r,,..-
Arise, and rebuke the foul demon discord,
And thrust him away from our shore,
Then peace and safety will be your reward,
And national love evermore.
