"Sister, arise, the sun shines bright. The bee is humming in the air. The stream is singing in the light, The May-buds never looked more fair; Blue is the sky, no rain to-day: Get U p_it has been light for hours; And we have nut begun to play. Nor have we gathered any flowers. Time, who looked on, each accent caught, And said. Tie is too young fur thought.’ YOUTH. “To-nighs, beside the garden-gate! Oh, what a while the night is coining! I never saw the sun so late. Nor heard lie* b. e at this time humming! I thought the flowers an hour ago H id dosed their hells and sunk to rest: How slowly flies that hooded crow! I low lighi it is alone the West! Faid Time. ‘He yet hath to he taught That I ofl move too quick for thought.' MANHOOD. "What thoughts would’st thou in me awaken? Not love? for that brings only tears — Nor friendship? no, 1 was forsaken! Pleasure I have not known for years: The future I would not foresee I know too much from what is past: No happiness is there for me. And troubles ever come 100 fast. Said Tune, ‘No comfort have I brought; Tite past to hira’s one puinlul thought. OLD AGE. "Somehow the flowers seem different now, The daisies dimmer than of old; There’s fewer blossoms on the bough, The hawthorn bud> look grey and cold; The pansies wore another die When I was young, when I was young! There’s not that blue about the sky Which every way in thus** days hung. There’s nothing now looks as it ‘ought.’ Kaid Time, 'The change i> in thy thought.’ ” [From the .Vac Odeuna DrUa, ilih inst.] Latest from Saltillo, Mouteiey, etc. The steam-sebr. Trumbull, Cant. States- i berry, from the Brazos on the 181 h inst., ar rived last evening. We have received by her the American Flit; of the 14tb inst. It contains not a word in reference to General Ta, lor or his movements present or perspec tive. We had the pleasure of an interview last evening with Major Co'quitt, ol the U. S. Army, and Assistant Surgeon Herrick, who ra ne passengers in the Trumbull. They left Saltillo the 28t,h ult., Monterey the 5h inst. We gather from them the follow ing memo randa: The following are the positions and move men's of Gen. Taylor’s column, according to the last advice-, as far as we them: General Ta lor is quartered at Walnut Springs near Monterey. General Wool in command at Saltillo and Buena \ ista. Ist Mississippi, Ist Ub o, Ist Ind ana. Bragg’s Balt*ry, and thl squadron of Dragoons, the latter now commanded by Col. Fatmtlerov, at Monterey. 2d and 3d Ohio, Island 2! . Itiijj ’.„.i oi J...JMUA, J 1 IkemucKy, | Arkansas Cavalry, Washington’s Battery, i Sherman’s Battery, at Buena Vista. Fren- j tiss’ Battery, at Saltillo.

Virginia and 2d Mississippi on their m irch from Cornargo to Monterey N« rt i Carolina at Comargo. Massachusetts at Matamoros. Our wounded men are doing well. In one hospital, of which IK Herrick had charge, out of eighty wounded men of the Illinois re giment, not more than three or four died— the remainder were fast convalescing. General quietude prevailed: the people of Saltiilo and Monterey had returned to their business, and seemed satisfied with the pow ers that be, if they could but feel assured of their continuance. They had heard in Mon terey of Santa Anna’s arrival in Mexico, and those who affected to know more of his movements than their neighbors, would wink, and say that there will be no more fighting. About Gen. 'Baylor’s future movements noibing is known. One thing is certain, that lie can make no onward movement until those who form his present command—the twelve month’s volunteers, whose term of service is about to expire, and some of whom are already on their way home—are replaced by a stiff greater force of the volunteers now j en route to join him, and of the ten regiments i at present in course of enlistment. As soon as i e has ten thousand of these under his command the wo r d will be, unless it shall be previously proclaimed, “forward! march!” As our informants approached near Com argo they met a train bound for Monterey. One of the volunteers in guard of it had been j lassoed and inhumanly murdered by two Mexicans. The assassins were airested, identified and summarily shot. In coming down from Mon erev to the Brazos, the party with Major Co'quitt and Dr. Herrick encoun tered neither difficulty nor obstruction. ff'hey say, hy the way, that Gen. Davis is recov ering from the effects of his wound. We make up from the Flag the following items; Robbery. —The sum of fifteen hundred dollars was abstracted by some soundrel from the money box of the subsistence department in this place, on Friday night last. Lieut. Stanton, North Carolina regiment, came down the river on Friday last in "charge of a number of sick volunteers, belonging to his regiment. On the passage down, two of them died, viz:—Geo. W, Barnes, Ist ser geant, company A; J. J. F. Stokes, 3d cor poral, company E. The body of William C. Gladman, a free mulatto, who owns a barber’s shop in Gal veston, but who bad been in Matamoros for some time, was discovered floating in the lake back of our office. It bore tiie marks i of violence, and as he was known to have a considerable sum of money in bis possession, it is supposed avarice prompted the deed. Afore Violence. —A Mexican was horribly mangled by cuts with a knife, in a fight near the Blaza, on Monday night la-t. The nn- j fortunate man is not expected to live. On Tuesday night, as we have been informed, i i i» w— msrrnmmmi > inwpsyryw another one was shot at a fandango, and it is thought will not survive the wound. Gen. Gushing orders that all houses or other places of gambling, of whatever name or nature, or for public dancing, be closed, and that all sale or traffic in distilled spirits is prohibited, under severe penalty for the violat ion of either order. p When a part of the Kentucky Legion ar rived at Matamoros, on their return march, | the Massachusetts regiment paraded and re- ; ceived them with due military etiquette.— Col. Cushing addressed them, in his usual eloquent style, with a few very appropriate remarks, ff’hc fine dress and generally neat and clean appearance of the Massachusetts men, contra-led strongly with the scared and ■mn burnt faces, the black blue, red, and tri colored shirts, and as many colored pants of tiie boys then returning from the bloody field ot Buena \ ista, but when the column m >ved and they came to handle their arms, then ‘‘Old Kentuck” shone out as conspicuously as did their.new acquaintances a few minutes before. Opinion* Abroad ol American Liberality. The English papers by the Cambria abound with evidences of gratified feeling for the liberal contributions made on this side of the Atlantic in relief of the suffering classes in the British Islands. Ihe Dublin "Nation” of the 3 1 instant, thus expresses itsMl;— "It is an axiom of the closest observers of human nature, that conferring benefits on any object endears that object to the bene factor; so in domestic life, adopted children are usually the dearest. And, at this hour, America, like the Grecian daughter, feeds from the warm bosom of tier youth, tiie aged, and alas! shackled nation, to which her in fancy owed protection and support. Never, indeed, did the world behold a finer spectacle. "America needs friends in Europe, and our relations have always been of a friendly k'nd; but from this yea forth no Irishman will willingly draw a trigger against her ,” The London ff’irnes, of tlie 25th tiff., says; "ff'lie most effective class of contributors are they of the bumbler classes, who are send ing from this island, from the colonies, and from the United Stales, to the relief of (heir own private friends. The number of small sums transmitted by successful emigrants to enable their [ri.-h relatives to follow them across the Atlantic, is something enormous. One bank alone at Liverpool has received four hundred and thirteen separate orders for money, paid by parties in New York to be transferred to parhes in Ireland, in sums running from £l to £24, tiie whole amount ing to £l,sfifi 18-., and the average, conse quently, being £3 15s. fid. An immense number of orders have passed through the other Liverpool and through ihe A rnertcan merchants < ‘hat port. ‘‘''The tribute we are most bound to acknow ledge is (he magnificent public, subscriptions made in Ihe t ailed Slates. The greater part of this, we are given to understand, is contri buted by Irishmen; but, as a whole we re joice to see in it one more pledge of that mu tual respect and affetion which, in spite of many trials and hindrances, now binds the two countries, ff’he British Empire and the Union are from one common stock, ff’iieir language, their interests, their literature, and, to a great extent, their customs, their laws, and religion, are tiie same, ff'here are no two nations in the world so similar, while they are politically distinct. Happily they are now discovering the interests they seve rally possess in one another’s peace and pros perity. We will confess to a passing sensa tion of wounded pride when we (mar of our own fellow subjects becoming objects of re publi 'an benevolence, and our social sores be! • u exoosed in .’.be cities i T' ;• >f we am u««M!H ro rescue Ireland from i the gfu-o of' fa min**, as confessedly we are, it I 1 does not bec l us to resent the assistance | i of a generous kinsman and friend. Who- I i ever is to blame, s’, true it that Ireland i does not prosper in out } ands. We must, therefore, submit to be commiserated and | helped in our task.” 'The following resolution was adopted unanimously, amid loud cheers, at, a great public meeting, held in the City Lecture Room, in Finsbury, City of London, on the j 24th Mare.i, 18-47. Mr. Jones proposed, and I Mr. Harrold seconded tlie resolution : "That overpowered with heartfelt gra’i- | fude at (he prompt, decisive, and energetic ) benevolence of the people of the United States ; of America, in their spontaneous and nnso- j licited aid to the poor peasantry of Ireland, I we leel language to be inadequate to give ex pression to our gratitude to that noble and in dependent people; betokening, as if does, to the nations of the earth, whether afflicted by distress caused by providential calamities or internal impolicy, that there is a great and magnanimous people on our globe, ever ready with hope, succor, and consolation, in the hour of need, calling forth the overjoyed i thanks of this meeting, the lasting gratitude i ol Ireland, and the admiration of the world.” j Letter from Father HlathcvT. We make the following extract (mm a let- i ter of the Rt. Rev. ff\ Mathew, which is published in the Albany Journal: “Cork. 31si March. 1847. “My Dearest Friend:—The magnificent humanity evinced by our beloved brethren in the Slates, for the suffering Irish, has in spired every heart in tins island with ardent grat it tide. "U e shall ever regard America as our de liverer in the hour ot bitter calamity.

Maize has (alien from £l9 to £lO the ton. In the darkest hour of calamity we should not des pair. 'J’he mercies of the Lord are above all his wondrous works. 1 arn resolved, God 1 willing, to leave Ireland for the States next I sunnier. It shall be my constant, anxious | prayer, that the Lord may remove every ob stacle, and allow me to indulge this darling desire of my heart. “As soon as the expected breadstuff ves sels will arrive in Cork, I shall have the pleasure of writing to you again, expressing my thanks.” Extraordinary .Ale bod of Preserving the Hod) of a tliild. The New York Express tells a story of a child which lately died on board one of the emigrant ships, and rather than throw if into tiie deep, the mother salted down the body in her trunk, and brought it to that city in a slate of preservation. Who can under.-tand the workings of that mothers mind during her passage to a foreign clime. Nautical Sermon. When Whitfield before the sea men of New York he had the following bold apostrophe in his sermon* “Well, my boys, we have a clear sky, and are making fine headway over a smooth set, before a light breeze, and we shall soon lose !-ight ol land. But what mean? this sudden lowering of the heavens, and that dark cloud a rising from beneath the western horizon! Don’t you see those flashes of lightning? 1 here is a feform gathering! Every seatnan to his duly? How the waves rise and dash against the siii(rl-< The air is dark! The tempest rages. Our masts are gone! The ship is on her beam ends! What next?” It is said that the unsuspecting tars, re minded of former perils on the deep, as if stuck by the power of magic, arose with uni ted voices and minds, and exclaimed, “Take to the longboat!” L From the Paris Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.] The experiments of scientific men here are still going to test the utility of the great dis covery of Dr. Jackson. Dr. Wells is at this time in Paris, disputing the honor of discov ery with his fellow countryman. M. Majen die is the most dislinguishedopponent which ether has met with here. Some quite warm words have passed between him and Vilpeau, who with Roux and Serres, and nearly all the whole science of France welcome the dis covery as one of the events destined to illns ! train the nineteenth century. The following notice of some late proceedings in the Acade my of Sciences will not be unacceptable to many of your readers: “ There were several communications re lative to the effects of the inhalation of ether and some discussion ensued, in the course of which M. Majendie repeated his opinion that this new method of operating ought to be practised wi:h the greatest possible caution and reserve. M. M ijendie brought forward some further argument? in defence of his opinion, hut tio*v throw no new light upon the question. We shall proceed, therefore, to give an account of some experiments on the new method which were this dav com municated to the Academy. VI. Flmirens stated that lie had made experiments to ascer tain the effect of the ether upon the spinal marrow. In the fir.-t place he caused ether to be inhaled by a dog. which in a few minutes became perfectly insensible. He then la d hare the spinal marrow at a point, of the dorsal region, and during the whole of this cruel operation the animal gave no sign of pa>n. He t ten divided the nerves of sen j sation, and still no pain was manifested. I —Lastly, he pricked, cut and tore the spinal I marrow it aflf, and the deg did not give the slightest, symptom of suffering, and experi enced no convulsion. Ilis next experiment was on a fowl, and with the same results.— j When the effects of the e'h«r were dissipated, ! the spinal marrow resumed all its vitality.— ! !M. Serre? announced that he had made seve ral experiments upon animals, but with liquid ether, as he was desirous of asce'faining its elects upon the nervous system. He had laid bare the nerve? of the litighs of several rabbits, and placed them in contact with a ; sponge dipped m ether. The ■ esults were as ! follows: Sensibility were abolished in Ihe i points subjected to the action of either at the nerve immerged in etner. In order to take into account tiie action of the air, the following comparative experiment was made. Os two nerves which were laid bare, one was irn merced in the ether, and the other was ex posed simply to the act ion of the air. Five ■ minutes afterwards the first was dead to all i sen-ation, even on the application of pincers, tiie second retained all its sensibility and power? of contraction. Having thus ascer tained the sedative power of the ether, M. ii oP •<» <jr ,■ ‘ici/ti't the sen son i> v could ;.•? reslt-red by* the iHnnedime ap !i ation of s’r vchnine to the nerve which • had been deprived of it. He applied the tine i tore of niixvotnica, strychnine, and the chlo- I rhvdrate of s rvehnine, and all without effect. ; 'They produced neither sensibility to pain, nor restored 'he power of contraction. A pa per was read, giving an interesting account of some experiments made by M. Grubv, to ascertain the effects of ether on several ani mals, viz , 10 dogs, 4 rabbits. 2 mice, and 50 ■ frogs. To intoxicate these animals required different periods of time, w hich are shown in | the following table : MINIMUM. MAXIMUM. DURATION. Frogs, Bm. 35m. 20 to 25m. Dogs, 50 40 12 to 30 Mice, 2 4 4 to 8 Rabbits, 2 8 6to 12 In general, ?a\? M. Grnby, the duration of the intoxication appeared to depend on the intensify of the vapour, the prolongation of the aspiration, the rapidity and force of the inspiration, and ihe age of the animals. Be yond the term above fixed for respiration.the animals died in a sleep. In young animal.- the phenomena were more prompt than in those which were full grown. M. Grub\ found that the peripheric circulation, the pul sa ions of the heart, and the respiration di mitii-h under the influence of the ethereal vapour, and that, if after the experiment the animal be? exposed to the air, the number ol pulsation? of the heart and the inspiratory motion augment considerably, as does also the cutaneous crculation. Frogs which were wounded immediately before the expe riment resis’ed the intoxicating efforts of the ether much longer than those which were uninjured. He ascertained also that the stag nation in the capillary vessels produced by the ether disappears before sensibility is again manifested, and that a frog deprived of its brain, and exposed to the vapours of ether, retains its sensibility and it powers of contraction much longer than one that has not been wounded. 'The experiments on dogs showed that they first 10.-c their tactile peri pheric sensibility, then voluntary motion, and fially the conlractibility of the voluntary I muscles. Dogs 20 days old lost their sensibility in three minutes, and died in 18 to 20 minutes, under the effects of the ether; grown-up dogs lost the power of sensation in 8 min utes. and died if the action of the ether was continued for 45 minutes 'The dogs recov ered their sensibility and motion when they were exposed to the air, if the experiment with the ether was not prolonged beyond 18 minutes for the young, and 40 to 44 minutes fur the adults. Young dogs which were ap parently dead, having ceased to breathe, were brought to life by copious b ! eeding from the jugular vein. A young dog, which had al ready been under the effect of the ether and had recovered, was again exposed to it, and the same effect was produced in 50 seconds*, hut a dog which had been bled after the ex periment, and was again exposed to the eth er, resisted much longer than another dog which had not lost blood. In the cases where the experiment was carried to such a point as to produce death, M Gruby found ihaf the immediate cause of death was an accumulation of blood in the veins of the brain, those of the lung?, the liver, &c.” ill .liJjaiJ - 1 L - ...

Virginia Election. The Richmond Enquirer of the 271 h hist., in remarking on the recent election in that State, says—“ Though we cannot yet speak positively, we are in good spirits as to the grand result in Virginia. Unless the Wes tern comities should play us some strange tricks, we count upon having a Democratic Legislature, and twelve out of fifteen mem bers of Congress. This ought to satisfy all reasonable men, considering the untoward circumstances under which we went into the battle this Spring.” A Good Example. Gov. Johnson, of South Carolina, has is sued his proclamation, selling apart Thurs day, the 6th Mat, as a day of'Thanksgiving m that State, for the recent victories obtain ed by our armies in Mexico. Capt. Scott’s Company. The Macon 'Telegraph of the 27th inst., says—“ Tin's worthy officer, we are pleased o learn, has succeeded already in recruiting more than half of his compliment of men. The recruits are of the best and most effec tive kind, and as we have said before, this , company will nut be surpassed by any in the service.” Cotton Idx ported. Nine thousand one hundred and seventy six bales of cotton were cleared from New Orleans on the 23d inst. From Central America. The Belize Observer of tiie 3d instant, says—“We have seen letters and papers from Guatemala to tiie 18th of March, inclu sive, but find nothing in them of interest.— Strange to say there is not a word about the reported invasion of a portion of the Mexi can territory by Gen. Carrera, accounts of seen in the late American papers; on the contrary he is reported to be paying a visit to an English vessel of war on the Pacific side. We rather think our New York contemporaries have been impos ed upon. At ao events, if such an lion has really been undertaken, Gen. Carre ra is not in command.” Later from Jloiiterideo. The New York Express has learned from Captain Barstow, of the brig Creole, from Rio Grande, having left that place on the 21st of Feb., that the Dutch galliot Car Hendrick had arrivod there from Montevide« and reported that news had been received o a battle having been fought near Maldonado between Rivera and Oribe, in which Oribe was victorious. The Chances of Ponce. The New Orleans Picayune of the 24th »nst. pays— ‘ We saw a private letter from a very in'elligent officer at Vera Cruz, dated the 10th inst., in which he says, that several of the States of the Mexican confederacy have denounced the war with the United States,and threatened to secede unless peace should be made. Many Mexicans predicted a peace within sixty d tys, but our corres pondent puts little faith in auguries so favor able. He thinks the great difficulty in the way of a peace is the fact that Anna is so nearly crushed that he dare not make a treaty. Nor does there appear to be any one else in Mexico strong enough to incur the great responsibility. None of the old politi cians will venture upon the step. Our cor ’ respondent adds: “‘Some man now unknown to fame, with nothing to lose and everything 1 to gain, may arise and advocate a peace poli , cy successfully. His want of ambition or the little chance of his obtaining power may prevent him from becoming obnoxious to the jealousies of parties, and gain for him adhe rents generally. He may succeed in making a peace which every body will be glad of ; but how long before it will be used as an ele ■ ment of |M|litical warfare?” “The Legislature ot the State of Vera Cruz, sitting at Jalapa, was said to be delib erating at last accounts upon the propriety of making peace, independent of the General Government. “The State of Zacatecas has declared it self independent—so writes us an intelligent correspondent!” From ICio Janeiro. Papers from Rio Janeiro, to the 2nd ult., have been received at New York, with ad vices from Montevideo to the 16th February. The General-in-Chief, Fructuoso Rivera, arrived at Montevideo on the 3d, from Mal dona,accompanied by several officers, includ ing Col. Espinosa and Secretary Bravo, who had been supposed to be dead. We learn from the Rio Janeiro Mercantil, of the 28th of February, that Mr. Wise, the U. S. Minister, had addressed a note to the Government, soliciting an audience, to de liver to His Majesty a letter of c mgralula lion from the President of the United States on account of the brith of Her Highness Is abel; but that the Government replied, “in view of the occurrence which took place in the months of November and December last, and the expressions of public opinion on that occasion, it was deemed inexpedient to grant such an audience at present.” More Whigjery. Refusal of Thanks to General Tati,or. —The following order, submitted in the Mas sachusetts House of Representatives on Fri day, by Mr. Boulwell, of Goton, was taken up on Saturday and rejected, by a vote of 65 ayes, to 114 nays : Ordered, That the comimttee on the militia, on the part of this house, be instructed to re port a series of resolutions of the purport fol lowing : Ist. 'lMiat the itiHiiks of the Legislature of Massachusetts are due to Major General Zachary Taylor, his officers and men, for tbc skill, good conduct, bravery and success, which have distinguished their operations upon the Rio Grande, at Monterey, and at Buena Vista. 2d. That while the people and Legislature of Massachusetts vow- with pride the bril liant achievements of the army employed in the war against Mexico, they mourn the loss of those officers and men who have fallen upon the battle field,and sincerely sympathise with fheir relatives and friends. 3<J. That his excellency the Governor be requested to transmit a copy of these resolves to Gen. Taylor, to be by him communicated to me army under his command. New Regiment. The N. O. Delta of the 24th inst.says—We understand that several military gentlemen in this city are making movements for the purpose of raising a regiment, to be composed of persons who are inured to the yellow fever, to serve as soldiers to garrison those places in Mexico subject to the vomito. This move ment is highly creditable to it? originators, and if carried out, will prove of almost in calculable benefit. An open enemy may he all, but an insidious foe, like the yellow fever, must be opposed by men of ex perience in Southern climates and in the dis eases incidental thereto. New York Commerce. The business of last w eek at the New York Cus tom Hovse,exhibit the following results: 1846. 1847. liicr’e. Derr’e.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says—“ The difficulties that have occurred between Gen. Kearny and Com. Stockton, create some excitement Ijrre. It is said that a despatch has been received by the War Department from Gen. Kearny on the subject. The matter can lead to no prolonged embarrassment, for long before this time, Genera! Kearny must have received orders, sent to him last winter, to leave California, with the force under his com mand, on the arrival of Col. Stevenson, and march down, through Chihuahua, to join General Taylor.” California. Letters from California state that provis ions of all kinds are very dear there. It was apprehended there would be much suffering among the people, unless large supplies were -oon received.
