THE SPECJRE BOAT—k uu.An.
BY T. CAMPBELL.
Ltetrt rued fahe Ferdinand, to leave a lovely maid
forlorn, m , ~
Who broke her heart and died to hide her Mushing
cheek from »com.
On* nlpht he dreamt he woo’d her in their wonted
lamer of love, '
Where the (lowers sprang thick around them, and the
birds sanp sweet above.
But the scene was swiftly changed into a church-yard’s
dismal view, ,
And her lips view black beneath his kiss from love’s
delicious hue.
What more he dreamt he told to none •, but shudder
ing, pale, and dumb,
Look’d out upon the waves, like one that knew Us
hour was come.
Twas now the dead watch of the night—the hclmTwas
lash’d a-lee,
And the ship rode where Mount JZtn» lights the deep
Levantine sea;
When beneatli its plare a boat came, row’d by a wo
man in her shroud,
Who, with eyes that made our blood run cold, stood
up and spoke aloud.
Come. Traitor, down, for whom my ghost still wan
ders unforpiven !
Come, clown, false Ferdinand, for whom I broke my
peace with Heaven I
It was In vain to bold the victim, for he plung’d to
meet her call
Like tlie bird that shrieks and flutters in the gating
serpent’s thrall.
You may guess, the boldest mariner shrunk daunted
from the sipbt,
IFor the spectre and her winding sheet shone blue with
hideous lip lit;
Like a fiery wheel the boat spun with the waving of
her hand,
And round they went, and down they went, as the cock
. crew from the land.

An account of the character of Mrs. Wright, the cele
brated Modeller in Wat," copied from an old Lon
don Magazine.
The arts and sciences long flourished
in Europe, before they even travelled in
to this Island; but the natives of Eng
land can boast they never diminished
by crossing the waves. When perse
cution in the reign of Charles Ist, thirst
of exploration, adventure or despair,
winged away from these kingdoms a va
riety of emigrants, mechanics, and ar
tists of all denominations, mixed in the
ships that sailed for America: amongst
those were the progenitors of Mrs.
Wright, who has been reserved by the
hand of nature to produce a new style
of picturing, superior to statuary, and
peculiar to herself and the honor of
America. For her compositions, in
likeness to their originals, surpass paint
or any other method of delineation :
they live with such a perfect animation,
that we are more surprised than charm
ed, for we see art perfect as nature.
Amongst the group of her characters,
there are some large as life in conversa
tion, and so natural that people fre
quently speak to the dumb figures! The
most familiar of those, is Mrs. Macauly,
who may live by the fingers of Mrs.
Wright as long as in her republican his
tory, whfrein she has given us a pic
ture of her mind; but Mrs. Wright has
preserved to ns the person of this cele
brated and patriotic female. There is
a scripture story inimitably done, of
queen Esther, Ahasucrus, and Morde
cai, a dead child, and on Indian family:
but the two most striking figures are,
her own mother and father, so immedi
ately living, that human nature is shock
ed to find that really dead, which is so
much like life. Among the busts, the
most capital characters for elegance of
execution and real representations of
the living, are the King and Queen; her
majesty particularly expressive. Lords
Temple and Chatham, Mr. Barre, Han
way, Dr. Wilson, Mr. Wilkes, Captain
Edward Thompson, and many others,
are so well executed that it is impossi
ble to sec the busts without immediate ac
knowledgements of the similitude. This
surpassing genius, in itself so novel, drew
Mrs. Wright from America, where she
had met with every applause and en
couragement: but it was the mart of the
world that so rare a genius should ex
plore, where the artists of Europe bring
their compositions to view.
About twenty years ago, she left her
native America with her family, and
came to England. She was born in the
neighborhood of .New-York, where her
parents were esteemed for honor and in
tegrity, being Quakers, of pure and up
right manners. Jn her very infancy
she discovered a striking genius, and be
gan with making faces in new bread
and putty to such excellence, that
she was advised to try her skill in wax;
and by labour she arrived at the amaz
ing perfection we see her admired for at
this period. To do that justice to eve
ry rank of people which they merit,
Patricians and Plebians have given eve
ry encomium to her productions; and
the former shewn her an attention
worthy her deserts and their good sense.
She was particularly honored with
the notice of Lords Chatham and Tem
ple; and many of the most illustious
characters of this country visited her re
pository to converse with the Prome
thean modeller. Her natural abilities
were surpassing; and had a liberal and
extensive education been added to her
innate qualities, she had been a prodi
gy. She had an eye of that quick and
brilliant water, that it penetrated and
darted through the person it looked on;
and so amazing was her skill in distin
guishing the characters and dispositions
of her visitors, that she was rarely mis
taken, even in the minute point of man* j
Hers*, much more 5d In the general cast
of character. As an individual she
was great, for she was good: as a wo
man she hatli done honor to human na
ture in the qualities of mother and
friend. For integrity, virtue, and a
pure heart, she was an ornament to her
sex, and so sound was her sense and
argument on public subjects, that the
most learned men might draw instruc
tion from the keenness of her observa
tions, and satire of her language. She
was a kind of exotic prodigy, and ap
pears like Pallas, to have come forth
complete from the he*d of Jove.

From the JW w York Mechanics' Gazette
Ever since the era of Dr. Franklin,
the love of proverbs has waxed exceed
ingly fervent among onr countrymen.
This debasement of the dignify and ele
gance of diction, is not less justly than
humorously ridiculed by a Yankee bard,
who thus jeers the woful insipidity of
1 the simple style.
YANKEE PHRASES.
1 As sound as a not o’er Hip plain,
I of late whittled, chock full of gleC(
A atmnger to sorrow and pain,
As happy as h»p;iy could be.
As plump as a patrldpe I (rrew,
’ My heart being lighter than cork’
My slumbers were f aimer than dew !
My body was fatter than pork!
1 . Thus happy I hop’d 1 should pass,
Slick n grease through the current of tiracj
But pleasures are brittle as glass,
Although as a fiddle they’re fine.
. Jemima, the pride of the stale,
Like a top, nimbly danc’d o’er our plainer
With envy the lasses were pale—
With wonder stood gaping the swains.
She smil'd like a basket of chips—
As tail as a hay-pole her size
As sweet ns molasses her lips—
As bright as a button her eyes,
‘ i f). / •
Admiring, I gaz’d on each charm,
V My peace that would trouhle so
And though! not of dangler non hip-m,
Any more than the man in the mooa.
But now to my sorrow I find,
Her heari is as hard as a brick,
To my passion for ever unkind,
Though of love 1 am full a-, a tick-
I sought her affection to win,
In hopes of obtaining relief,
Till I, like a hatchet, grew thin,
And she like a haiiuock grew deaf
I late was as fat as a doe,
And playful and spry as a cat;
But now 1 am dull as a hoe,
And lean and as weak as a rat.
Unless the unpitying fates
With passion as ardent shall charp her,
As certain as death, or as rates,
1 sduu shall he dead as a bamme.'.

A Mr. W. S. Hamilton, Feliciana,
Lousiana, takes up more than three co
lumns in the Baton Rouge Republic,
close print, in an electioneering address,
soliciting a seat in Congress, informing
the public that he is “opposedto the
system of long speeches.’’ This re
minds us of the gentleman, who observ
ed, that a sure test of merit, was not to
speak in favor of one’s self. “ Now',”
added he, “ you never hear me speak of
myself.” — Bull. Pat.
In a village not far from Leek, Staf
fordshire, on the production of the an
nual account by the constable, a few
days since, a curious item was found.
He had occasion, during his official
term, to refresh a travelling pauper, and
had entered his expense in this way—
“To eating a mon, Is. Bd.”—A hearty
laugh being raised, the abashed officer
remarked, “ that if he had known, he
would not have done it for double the
money.”— -[London paper.

ARTS OF KNAVERY IN CHINA.
“ One of my countrymen,” says a
traveller in Chan, w who bought some
chickens, the feathers of which were
curiously curled, found, in a few days
time, the leathers were growing straight
ami thiit the chickens were of the most
common sort.”
The Chinese had curled the fextliers
like a wig a little before he was going to
sell them.
“ Sometimes you think you have
bought a capon, and you receive nothing
but skin ; all the rest has been scooped
out, and its place so ingeniously filled,
that the deception cannot be discover
ed until the moment you are going to
eat. The counterfeit hams of the Chi
nese, are also curious. They are made
of a piece of wood cut in the form of a
ham, and coated over with a certain
kind of earth, wlfich is covered with
hog’s skin. The whole is so Curiously
prepared, that a knife is necessary to
discover the fraud.”

Emperor’s unqualified acquiescence in
the terms of pacification, on which the
mediating powers have been so long en
gaged at Constantinople. At the same
time, from other quarters it is stated
that the evacuation of Moldavia and
Wallachia yet lingers—the promise of
the Turks has not been effectively per
formed. For this, and other reasons
arising from experience of the Turkish

'admitted, " hat present appearances

These papers contain many confused
’ accounts of the unsettled state of Spain.
The Royalists are said to be in
’ arms, and in great force in many parts
’ of the kingdom. In the mean time in
| tolligence from both France and Spain
; leaves little doubt of the fact of strong
military movements on both sides of the
Pyrenees. Those who believe a regi-
I raent of troops cannot shoulder their
r muskets without a belligerent intention,
are getting up a war between the two
nations. We know not what may take
place; but if the Holy Alliance have
prevented the Czar from marching up
on the Mussehnan, they will not allow
the French and Spanish Bourbons to
j come to loggerheads. The Liberals,
however, make out a plausible story
that the Ultra Royalists of France are
’ preparing to assist the insurgent royal
[ ists in Spain. From what we can col
lect this evening, however, the internal
; affairs of Spain are much worse than
' we have supposed them to be for the
last six months.

Dreadful Situation of Ireland. |
The distresses in Ireland seem rather (
to increase* than otherwise. The pa- I
pers are filled with accounts of suffering
lOf Ulfi •JS; a: '» I
character. Th# Sums subscribed in
England for their relief, exceeds 90,000
pounds sterling.
The London papers of the 22d June
contain the Report of the Committee
of the city of London Tavern; and a
supplement to the Liverpool Mercury
of the 21st June, a variety of extracts
of letters addressed to the committee at
that place, depicting in the most glow
ing colors the unparallelled sufferings of
the Irish people, & calling loudly for the
aid of charity to save the lives of thou
sands, who are daily perishing from the
want of the necessaries of life. VVe
have no room for the London commit
tee report; but the extracts which we
have given below from the letters re
ceived by them, and at Liverpool, will
enable our readers to judge of the extent
of this groat evil at the time the last ac
counts were received from Ireland.
Great, however, as these distresses were,
fearful apprehensions were entertained
that they would be still greater. The
months of July and August were expect
ed by the London committee to “ re
sound with appalling cries from the dy
ing peasantry.” “ VVe feel assured,
(says the Editor of the Liverpool Mer
cury) that hundreds of oiir fellow crea
tures are absolutely expiring for want
of food; and that before the next six
weeks shall have elapsed, many thou
sands must die from the same cause;
they are doomed to that fate, as inevita
bly as is a parricide when sentenced by a
,judge. When our countrymen have done
their utmost, countless numbers must
perish.” Hopes are entertained that
this terrible calamity may be mitigated
in consequence of the King’s letter to
the clergy, urging them to plead with,
and to collect money from their .res
pective congregations. We also parti
pate in this hope; but alas ! before it
can be realized, thousands of our fellow
creatures will have sunk into the grave
for want of a morsel of bread. In a case
so urgent and so heart-rending, would
it not have been more becoming in the
King, who prides himself on “ being the
father of his people,” to have opened
his own purse, and to have afforded im
mediate relief to his perishing children?
If he had suffered even inconvenience
from this, the nation required only to
know the fact, to repay the money with
interest. Or if it would' have been con
trary to usual practice; for the king to
advance the money, he might have re
commended it to his ministers tp apply
to parliament for permission to have
this done out of the national treasury.
But should there still have existed ob
jections to this measure, we are humbly
of opinion, that the king’s appeal qught
to have been confined to the “ Nobles
of the land, ’ ? and to the “Rich,” who
can easily spare something out of their
abundance, and not addressed to the
people generally, the great mass of
whom are already struggling with their
own difficulties.
London, June 21.
In the afternoon of yesterday, the
following resolution of the Directors of
the Bank of England, was announced
on the Royal Exchange.
Bank op England, June 20,1822.
Resolved—That all bills and notes
approved of the usual manner and not
having more than 95 days to run, be dis
counted at the rate of 4 per cent, per
annum, on and after the 21st June,
1822”
Os this determination, there was not
the remotest anticipation, and it had
been so effectually withheld, until the
moment when it was thus publicly
announced, that no individual advan
tage could be taken of the impulse
which such a measure must inevitably
give to funded property.
Consuls for the Account rose one per
cent, in the short time that elapsed be
fore the market closed. To-day they
fully kept their ground, notwithstanding
the operations of the Israelites, who
have been extremely active in selling
out. Up to 1 o’clock their operations
had no effect, but the intelligence of a
fall in the French funds of one per cent,
then occasioned a reduction iq Consols
of 1-4 per cent. Tq this succeeded a
sudden panic in foreign securities- Spa
nish Bonds in particular, fell three
quarters —in the first bargain, after the
rumour of this intelligence. As to
Russia Bonds, they are merely nominal.
No one dares to hazard a bidding, know
ing that it would instantly be caught.
Thus the public have a taste of what
may be expected from foreign securities
—evidently fragile as glass. The soon
er this species of bubble is brought to
a crisis, and the better for the pnblic.
Want of time and space constrains us
to defer until to-morrow, the communi
cation of some farther particulars on
the subject of those same foreign se
curities.
At a private meeting of the princi
pal bankers held this day, we under
stand that it has been agreed to follow
the example of the bank of England
in discounting at 4 per cent.
- We understand that the Resolution
of the Bank of England to discount at
4 per cent, was carried by a majority
oi only one voice. On a fprmer dis
cussion when it came to the vote, it was
lost by a majority of only one. The
previous discussion was long and vehe
ment, and the question was not finally
determined till past two o’clock. The
notice first appeared in the discount
office, where it yas stuck up at half
past two o’clock.
The public in general praise the
