The following touching lines are from the pen of
Mrs. Florida White, and ivcrtj addressed to her fa
ther, Gen. Adatr, of Kentucky, late Governor of the
.State, and at present a Memlicr of Congress,
i This gifted lady accompanies her husband, the
honorable Jos. White, of Florida, on a voy ige to
Europe, for the Itcnotit of her health. The best wish.
I t:s and earnest prayers of a wide circle of friends ac
company them.
Farewell to thee, land of my birth!
Though I leave thee to wan 'cr afar,
Thou art dearer to me than the rest of the earth.—
Ay ! dear as my own natal star:
And though I should see thee not.even for years—
1 shall think of thee always, and often in tears.
Farewell to thee ! land of my sire !
Abode of the brave anil the free,
If ever man cherish’d a patriot’s fire
And worshipped his country—'twas he:
O how could I part from his lov’d—native shore,
If I fancied his arms would enfold me no more !
Sweet home of my mother ! f irewell!
As hit I recalled thee with pride—
As hers such fond thoughts on memory swell
That utterance chokes with their tide.
If the thought of her only thus thrills through my
heart.
Could 1 sec her once more—should I ever depart.
Hright scenes of my childhood ! adieu :
t^weet haunts of my half open’d mind.
And ye sports ! Love and Youth, consecrated by you,
Oh! how shall I leave you behind ?
To part thus from brothers—from sisters—from
friends—
Is there ought upon earth that can make me amends ?
Mew.York, 7th June. 1833.
MY BRIGHT ONE.
Mv bright one ! thou art moving through
The light an'! gr'C"*'"l dance.
And there is pride upon thyhrow,
And sunshine in thy glance ;
And gleams of pearl look out upon
T'v wreath of braided hair,
\nd iewels flash—like starlight thrown
Upon the thankless air.
The voice of song ! the air is rife
t\ uh a dream of glorious things,
Thy ’' th is thrill'U'T with the life
Of all its sh ining strings ;
Thy head is bow’d in beauty down,
Thy lips are half apart ;
The poet’s deepest thought is thrown
Forth from thy glowing heart!
A et would thou wert where softly falls
On flowers tlm evening light
On dim. deep streams on cottage walls,
With woodbine trail'd and bright!
Thv steps should be where the lily weeps,
And tHttjhrooze he in thy hair.
And blessings should break from faltering lips,
And thou be named in prayer.

principal reason with Mehemet Ali for the
endeavor to establish his power on a firmer
basis, and that to this source might be trace 1
his first attempt in 1815 to make hjs troops
acquainted with European tactics. Hew s,
however, compelled to defer the execution o
his intuitions by a mutiny of the soldi rs,
who refused to submit to any change in the
system to which they had been accustomed.
Several years afterwards he found an op
portunity of carrying into effect his favorite
idea. Having freed himself from the pres-
ence of his old troops, whom he despatched
on various expeditious, and having thus re
moved the bitterest foes of innovation out of
the way, he commenced the work, ofmiliiary
reform with earnestness and determination.'
He availed himself of the assistance of the
most skilful French aud Italian officers he
could get, and made use of .11 the information
they possessed, on every point of their pro-
fession. His exertions were urir mittirtg, and
eminently successful. Towards the close of
the year 1824, he was able to. despatch a
powerful arriv for the Morea. well appointed,
and supplied with every necessary equipment
in the European style. Our readers are nw.ire
of the complete success of this expedition.
Greece, which had actually destroyed the
whole power which the Suitan could bring
into the field, and nearly achieved its per
fect independence, rapidly lost, one after an
other, the advantages she had gained, and
soon saw Ibrahim Pasha uncontrolled mas
ter of the Morea.
Mehemet Ali had not, however, devoted his
whole attention to military reforms. He had
labored with the gre t :st assiduity for the
acquisition of naval power also ; and bv the
1 adoption of European improvements in every
branch of marine service, had succeeded in
constructing a navy of considerable strength.
He was iot, it is true, so fortunate in the first
grand trial ol his naval, as of his military
ability: for the value of his reforms iu the
marine was first brought to the test in the
bay ofNavnrino. But in this battle, when
we consider who his enemies were, the des
truction of his fleet is not a proof that his ef
forts to form a navy had been ineffectual;
nor did it at all discourage him from follow
ing up his plans for s’rentrthening his gov
ernment by the accession of maritime ower.
Since the period when Meheme- Ali was
compelled to relinquish all interference in
the affairs of Greece, while he has omi'ted
no opportunity of augmenting and consolida
ting his military and naval strength, he has j
at the same time so far increased the resour
ces of his government, as to provide amply
for the permanent support of the new insti
tutions. Under his rule Egvpt has become
a country of both commercial and agricultu
ral importance, and realized many of the oth
er advantages of improved civilization. Col-
! leges and schools have been established for
the cultivation of science and literature ; and

ilence, and who ought, therefore, on the first
favorable opportunity, to be quietly consign
ed to his fate by the bowstring. The Sultan
has on various occasions betrayed his most
anxious desire to have so desirable an event
accomplished; and in 1813, at the very time
when he was employing the military talents
of Mehemet Ali against the Wahabees in
Arabia, he despatched a person to Cairo to
supersede iiim in his government. The fidel
ity of one of his ministers saved Mehemet Ali
from the ruin which had becu plotted against
him. The Pasha, however, still continued,
outwardly at least, the faithful servant of
Mahmoud, and carried on the war with sue.
ccas against the Arabian heretics. In the
ynd, Abdalal Saoud, the leador of the rebell
ious sect, was taken prisoner, and sent to Con
stantinople, where he lost his head. But it
ts probable that a knowledge of the real state
of the Sultan’s feelings towards him. was a
been proved to be for the land-forces of the
Pasha.
We will not now inquire how it has hap
pened that, while the innovations of Mehemet
Ali have afforded him a firmer foundation for
the reconstruction of his power, the only ef
fect of those of Mahmoud has been to under,
mine the strength of the old system, without
supplying any sure ground whereon to rear
a new one. One cause of the wide difference
in point of success between the efforts of the
two great Mohammedan reformers, may cer
tainly be found in the great disparity of their
characters. The Sultan is far below the
Pasha in talent and energy. He has, how
ever, had more formidable obstacles to con
tend wit|j; and perhaps even Mehemet Ali’s
plans of reform might have failed, had they
been brought into collision with the interests
and the prejudices of such a well-combined,
influential, and powerful corporation as that
of the Ulemas.
things ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
From a Correspondent of the Portland Daily
Advertiser.
I have sat for hours on the prow of our
steamer, and amused myself with noting ^he
varieties which the fiat-boats, keel-hoats,
kedge-boats, and other kinds of boats with
whose names I am unacquainted, are loaded
with when flouting down the Mississ ppi or-
Ohio. Here goes <i Jot of hogs, horses, sue p,
cows, and bullocks—and there, perchance, a
lot ot negroes from Kentucky or Vir iuta, to
he sold in Natchez or New Orleans for the
Louisiana market. Here are flour, tobacco,
corn and cotton, and there are iron, whiskey,
&c. &c—in short, the productions of almost
every soil. Here goes a “ broad horn” with
i white flag, which signifies that it is a ped
dling vessel, and si rung perhaps for P.tts-
hurg, with Yankee notions and other kuicS-
uuckerics ot ail sons for the farmers and far
mers’ daughters on the banks of the rivers.
We actually met two travelling doctors, Ya i.
kees I dare say, oflering their services iu a
iitifo boat “all along shore,” for hundreds of
miles ! They could “ kill cnolera” or “knock
over a lever,” to quote the phrases of the
boatmen.
When we left New Orleans, after passing
the Batture, we went by from one to two thou
sand flat-boats, which for three miles were on
the levee. There arc on board of each of these
flat boats from three to six poisons, who cook
and noard within their bo lts. Thus you see
the population ot New Orleans is at times
greatly enlarged by strangers—and also, that
numerous as are the steam-boats, they bv no
mod iS engross all of the freighting business
down the river.
I said little or nothing of the many, very
many steam-boats that crowd the levee in
-New Orleans, because, though I labored hard
to learn, no one could tell me how many tra
ded iit New Orleans. While 1 was there,
from forty to fifty were to be seen each day
upon the levee, and they were coming in or
le iving quite every hour in the day. It is
said that there are from tour to five hundred
steam-boats in the Western waters, including
all trom Pittsburgh to Galena and New Or
leans—and probably the estimate is not wild.
When on the Mississippi, we passed three,
four, and five every day ; and though not so
many on the Ohio, every day we there passed
many.
The steam-hoats which run from large
towns in the west to New Orleans, are large
.and splendid boats, surpassing the best boats
I have seen at the North. The Homer and
Mediterranean are represented as magnificent
boats. The Chancellor would be a “ a star”
upon our waters. Their boats will carry a
very large number of passengers. We pass
ed the Splendid with 120 cabin passengers,
and from 2 to 300 deck passengers. Some
of the larger boats carry, at times, 500 deck
passengers, among whom it is no wonder that
the Cholera at this season breaks out, sleep
ing, as they do, with little or no protection,
and living, as they do, on food of the worst
kind, halt cooked, for ten, twelve or fourteen
days.
These steam-boats are all, or nearly all, of
high pressure. Accidents often occur, but
probably not more from steam than in the oth
er waters of the United States, comparing
the number of boats here with the number
elsewhere. One feels quite us safe in trav
elling here, as on other waters. There are
dangers from “running foul,” and from “snag
ging.” The Mississippi is full of snags, saw
yers, and planters. “ A snag” is u log or
tree imbedded in the minOj and points down
stream. A “ sawyer” mffers from a snag,
in having a springing or sawing motion.—
The snags and sawyers are often just far
enough under water to be concealed from the
pilots, and yet to destroy the boat when un
der the tremendous pressure of steam. Capt.
Shreve, ianions in these waters tor drawing
out the suags, has taken up very many, and
made the navigation much safer with his hi-
formed steamboat, which the bo .tmeu call
“ Uncle Sam’s Tooth Puller.” But notwith-
standing all this, there is risk from a vi_- -.ting
the mighty Mississippi with its whirls aud ed
dies, in winch it is very perilous to swim
whenever a boat is “ snagged,” even but a
few feet from the shore.
The Cholera is «»w in nearly every boat
on the Mississippi and the lower part "of the
Ohio. 1 here has been but one case among
the cabin passengers, that I know of—and the
disease has lost all its terrors. The Chan
cellor, in which I was, ran aground one hun
dred and seventy miles below Louisville—and
alter laying on the banks of the Ohio, on the
Indiana side ot the river, about six hours, and
viewing the huts of the Indiana settlers, who,
having no slaves, are working like men for
themselves, we were taken off by a boat from
St. Louis, the Metamora—in which (a small
boat) were about 280 persons. Soon after I
came on board, one man, dead of the Chole
ra, was put ou shore, in a box to be buried
after this, three persons more, frightened prob.
ably into the disease, were seriously attacked.
I have not heard their fate; but I foarn this
morning that one of our cabin passengers is
seriously attacked. It is no credit to some
persons, that they continued to gamble even
after pestilence and death had thus trodden in
upon our numbers.

The following is the Sentence pronounced by the
Court upon Clough, the murderer of Mrs. Hamilton :
SENTENCE.
Joel Clough.—After as full, fair and de
liberate a trial as I have ever witnessed in
the experience of thirty years practice at the
bar—you have been convicted of the murder
oi Mrs. Mary W. Hamilton. In the history
of this trial you have had tiif benefits of able
and distinguished counsel, and if you had
been their brother instead of their client, the
tender ties of such a connection could not
have added to the untiring zeal, the laborious
and honorable efforts, the exertion of pro-
fessioaal talents, the thrilling and soul subdu
ing eloquence with which you have been de
fended. The jury were literally of vour
own selection, you were not captious and
troulil some in making that selection, but you
did it with prudence and discretion, and not a
juror was elected but in accordance with vour
own feelings. The counsel for the State
conducted the cause with benignity and mer
cy—hut with those talents for which they
are distinguished, and that firmness for
which as men ol virtue and of honor they
dare not relax. Your triers, the jurors, have
in the most patient and enduring manner sub-
mitted to almost unexampled privations and
confinement for the period of nearly eight
days, until some or one of them at least, al
most sunk under the pressure of his confine
ment and his feelings, and by their fixed, sol
emn and patient attention to every word and
suggestion, must have given you the assurance
that they desired not your blood, but most
ardently and fervently desired to find you in
nocent, if that innocence could be found even
in the negative virtue of a ruined and dis
tracted mind; and as to the Court, it may
not become me to speak ; but I think in view
of that bar, before which you must shortly ap
pear, I can say for my brethren and myself,
that we have endeavored so to regulate and
control the trial, as to secure to you all the
advantages that the fair and impartial admin
istration of justice can extend to the de
ceased.
The final and the fatal result has been re
corded, and that record speaks while miud
and memory and judicial records last, and
will continue to speak you GUILTY, GUIL
TY, GUILTY—of the murder of Mary W.
Hamilton, in manner and form as vou stood
charged by the Grand Jury of the county.
And who was Mary Hamilton ? Was she
your enemy? Had she done you wrong ?—
Was it her crime that beauty had spared her
charms and smiled forth in all the loveliness
of virtue, in every feature of her countenance,
in the delicacy and elegance of her form, in
the chaste and winning manners of her life ?
And was it because you could not make such
a prize your own, that you resolved in the
madness of your heart, she should never live
to bless another man and make him happy—as
she had made the former and lamented hus
band of her first and earliest love ? But I
press the inquiry no further. You say you
loved her—and yet, mysterious love—you
seized the unsuspecting moment of her kind
attentions, when sickness feigned, or real,
we fear the former, drew her, at your own
request—with kind attentions to your chain,
her to administer to your comfort, you sei
zed that moment to plant the fatal dagger in
her bosom—perpetrated the horrid deed.
She lived to say—“ Oh ! mother, mother, I
screamed, screamed—you did not come, and
Clough has killed me because I would not mar
ry him. I could not mother—J could not, you
know. I must die, I must die /” But I for
bear—I desire not to extract the dagger from
her bosom and plant it in your own. I know
your blood will not atone for hers. But I
have said this much, that you may see and
feel we have a just abhorrence of your
crime, and to banish from your bosom all
hope of a favorable interference by the Court,
with that department of the government, in
which is lodged the pardoning power. Ban
ish then, we intreat yon from your mind, every
hope" aud expectation ; put out at once the
faintest ray of hope that may penetrate into
the darkest recess of your cell, and prepare to
meet your God ! The blood you shed was
precious blood, but infinitely, infinitely more
precious is that blood which was shed on
Calvary ; and on that and that alone we com
mend you to look for pardon and eternal life.
It remains only for us to pronounce the
sentence of the Law—and it is considered
and adjudged that you be taken from hence
to the prison of tliis county from whence you
earned and there be kept in close and secure
custody until Friday the 26th day of July next,
between the hours of 11 o'clock in the morning
and 3 o'clock in the- afternoon, you be taken to
the place of public execution and there to be
hanged by the neck until you are dead, and
may the Almighty God have mercy on your
soul!
Woman.—-Never shrink from a woman of
strong sense. If she becomes attached to
you it will be from seeing and valueing simi-
lar qualities in yourself. You may trust her
for she knows the value of your confidence;
you may consult her, for she is able to advise,
and does so at once with the firmness of rea
son, and the consideration of affection. Her
love will be lasting, for it will not have been
lightly won; it will be strong and ardent,
for weak minds ire not capable of the loftier
grades of the passion. If you prefer attach
ing yourself to a woman of feeble understan
ding, it must be from the fear of encounter
ing a superior person, from the poor vanity
of preferring that admiration winch springs
* ‘
from ignorance to that which rises from ap
preciation.
A wotqan who has the beauty of feminine
delicacy and grace—who has the strong
sense of a woman, yet softened and refined
by the influence of womanly feeling—whose
passions are strong, but chastened, and direc
ted by delicacy—whose mind is brilliant alike
trom its natural emanations and its stores and
acquirements—whose maimers have been
formed by the imperceptible iniluence of
good society, in its broad sense, yet arc to-
tally free from the co sciousness and affec
tation oi an etiquette, though it is the highest
—who, though she shines and enjoys the
world, finds her heart’s happiness at home—
is not this the noblest and the sweetest of the
creatures made by God !
Letter from Maj. Downing We feel
ourselves highly honored with the following
letter from so celebrated a character as Maj.
Downing; and shall certainly expect a visit
trom him on his arrival in this city.—N. Y.
Gazette.
Washington, Thursday morning, June 6.
Dear Sir—As the President gets me to
read all the newspapers to him, being consid
erable slie’* at the business, I most always
take the New York Gazette first, d and he
have both come to the conclusion, seeing you
have printed all my letters, to write you a
lino respecting our eastern tower. Both of
us have been as busy as bees packing up for
Downingsville for a week back. The Presi
dent waked me up this morning before day
light, and asked me what I thought of the
weather. Says I, Gincral, its going to rain.
Says he what do you think ? Had wc butter
start? Yes, says I; we dident mind the
weather in New Orleans and a ducking should
never frighten a soldier. Well says he,, if
you aint afraid 1 aint—so before we eat our
breakfast, you sit down and write a line to
Mr. Lang, and tell him he may expect us this
day week, and ask him to engage us rooms
at the largest house in New York. I wanted
to go to the tfity hotel, but the President
thinks Holt’s house the best. However says
he, we wont quarrel about it—let Mr. Lang
decide the question. If you engage Holt’s,
tell him to get his blacking machine in order,
for the President makes a terrible rumpus
about his boots. '
The President asked me the other day haw
I should like to go up iu Mr. Durant’s balloon.
Catch a weasel asleep, says I ; Gincral
suppose I should break my neck, what would
become of you ? O, says he, Major, there’s
Mr. Van Buren at hand. That cock won’t
fight says I; one Yankee is worth two Dutch
men any day. Well, says he, just as you
please about that ; but Mr. Van Buren, you
know, is going to Downingsville with us—that
was agreed on long ago. The Gincral got a
little touched at what I said about Mr. Van
Buren, but I stopped his mouth pretty quick.
Says I, Gineral, hav’nt I done you more ser
vice than he ? Did’n’i I stand by you through
thick and thin, when you got into that scrape
with the Cabinet, did’n’t Mr. Van Buren
throw up his commission, and leave you in
the lurch. And did’n’t I recommend Mr. Liv
ingston, and Mr. Kendall, and Gineral Cass,
and Isaac Hill, to take the places of those
who abused you like a pick-pocket, as soon as
their backs were turned ? And did’n’t I put
down the nullifiers ? and did’n’t I write your
proclamation and Mr. Webstcr’si speech?
The Gineral aint any hand at an argument,
and I had the weather gage of him. Well,
says he, Major, have your own way—there’s
no doing any thing without you. When I
found how the wind blew, think’s I, now’s my
time. Gincral, says I, if Mr. Van Buren
goes to Downingsville, he’ll take the shine
off of botli of us, and we may as well hang up
our fiddle. Do you think so? says he. Yes
I do, says I. Then we’ll go without him,
says the Gineral, for I don’t allow no man to
take the rag off' of you or me. So you see
Mr. Lang, I can uo pretty much as I please
with the President, and we are to have the
ride to ourselves. As it grows late, and we are
to set oft" as soon as breakfast is cleared away,
I must conclude at present, with requesting
you to make all necessary preparations for us,
and I shall cali with the President, and make
you a visit as soon as we land at the Battery.
If our time is not too much taken up, I shall
write jou further when we arrive at Philadcl-
phia.
I have directed Mr. Barry, our Postmaster
Gineral, to send this letter by the fast mail.
Your friend, JACK DOWNING.

Selling a dog.—Dick Lazybones was the
owner of a large dog, which it cost as much
to keep as it would two pigs ; and the dog be
sides was utterly useless. Nay, he wafc worse
than useless • he took up houseroom and
greatly annoyed Dick’s wife.
“ Plague take the dog!” said she, “Mr. La
zybones, I do wish you would sell him, or kill
him, or do something or other with him.
He’s more plague than his rotten neck is
worth—always laying in the chimney corner
and eating more than it would take to main
tain three children. I wonder you will keep
such a useless animal.”
“ Well, well, my dear,” said Dick, “say no
more about it. I’ll get rid of hitn one of
these days.” '
This was intended as a mere get-off on the
part of Dick : but as his wife kept daily din
ning in his ears about ^he dog, he was at
length compelled to take some order on the
subject.
“ Well, wife,” said he as he came in, I’ve
sold Jowler.”
“Have you indeed ?” said she, brighten
ing up at the good news—“ I’m dreadful glad
of it. How much did you sell Iiim for, my
dear ?” ' '
“Fifty dollars.”
“Fifty dollars! What—fifty dollars for ono
dog ? How glad t am» That’ll almost buy us
a good horse. But where’s the money, my
love?” , }
“Money! said Dick, shifting a long pipft
lazily to the other corner of his mouth, “ I
did’nt get any money—I took two puppies at
25 dollars a piece.”—iV. Y. Constellation.

ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM LONDON.
The packet ship York, Captain Nye, has
just arrived from London, via Portsmouth,
bringing London papers to the 11th May, and
Portsmouth to the 13th.
England.—Sir John C. Hobhouse has re-
signed the office of Chief Secretary for Ire
land, and his seat in Parliament, feeling that
if he retained it he must vote against minis
ters for the repeal of the house and wiudow
duties.
Turkey.—The intelligence published in
this paper on the 3d inst. upon the authority
of the Wirtemburg Gazette, of the conclusion
of Peace between the Sublime Porte and Me
hemet Ali, the rebellious Pacha of Egypt, is
confirmed. On this subject the Editor of the
London Courier remarks :
“ The French Journals of Sunday confirm
the intelligence received yesterday of the
conclusion of a treaty of peace, between the
Sultan and Mehemet Ali, which will confer
on the latter the soverei t nty of the whole ofSy.
ria, iu addition to the puchalics with which
he was previously invested. Ibrahim Pacha,
it is stated, had in the mean time, consented
to evacuate Asia Minor.”
“ The Russian troops which were advan.
cing upon Constantinople trom the principali
ties are stated to have received orders from
