The Fire Department of Boston has been
entirely disbanded, all the Companies having
thrown up engines, hooks, ladders, and all their
apparatus. The row commenced with a Com
pany very appropriately styled the “Tigers.”
The last few days have been extremely un
favorable to the Planters on the sea coast. A
severe gale which continued through two days
did much injury to the cotton and com. But
on Sunday last we were visited by a hurricane
w hich has done incalculable injury. It com
menced blowing furiously from the Northeast,
at about ten in the morning and continued
through the day, and a greater portion of the j
night *The tide rose very high, and mustj
have drowned many of the rice plantations,
while the \jind has beaten down the cotton
and corn, so as to destroy the crops on many
of the neighboring plantations. Two chimnies
of the Oglethorpe House were blown down and
a small house in lower Brunswick was entirely
demolished. It is said to be the severest gale
felt here since the disastrous hurricane of 1824.
Mothers should love Poetry. Mont
gomery in his lectures on general literature,
while speaking of the influence of poetry, re
marks, that that speciescgf composition has
the advantage of all others, inasmuch as it is
the solace and delight of the most accomplish
ed of the finer, feebler, and better sex, whose
morals, manners and deportment give the tone
to society. They are the .sisters, lovers and
companions of the present, and the mothers
and nurses of the future generation. Poetry
refines their taste, purifies their affections,
and imbues their minds with lofty thoughts
and elevated sentiments. By communicating
the ennobling sentiments they derive from po
etry to their companions and coevals in age,
and infusing them into the plastic and tender
minds of the young, they exercise an incalcu
lable influence over the destinies of the hu
man race. The author to whom we have al
luded mentions the fact, that Alfred, King of
England, owed much of his greatness to the
passion which his mother had lor poetry. “She
was more than a parent to him. The words
which his mother taught him, the songs which
his mother sang to him, were the germs of
thought, genius, enterprise, action, every thing
to the future father of his country. We owe
to poetry —probably to rude, humble, but fer
vent, patriotic poetry —all that we owe to Al
fred, and all that he owed to his mother.” Mo
thers must thernselvca.be great—their minds
must be stored with mgh and lofty thoughts,
and noble and exalted sentiments, in order to
make great men of their offspring. Most great
men who have lived lpid great mothers —great
in their sphere of action. No station is more
responsible than theirs, none more interesting.
It is the province of the mother to watch over
the first of the immortal mind—to
aid its developement, and to give it-4has|»iss
which is to color and control its whole fiiture
existence. We know of no fljlfeetaale more
interesting to the reflecting mind, and none
which takes deeper hold of the feelings, than
a mother, qualified for the task, watching the
first buddings of the infant intellect,-and train
ing it to maturity. [Newport Spectator.
A Sixth Continent. An extraordinary
phenomenon, presented in the Southern O
cean, may render our settlements in New
South Wales of still more eminent import
ance. A sjxth Continent is in the very act of
growth before our eyes ! The Pacific is spot
ted with islands thro’ the immense space of
nearly fitty degrees of longitude, and
of latitude. Every one of these islands seems
to be merely a central spot for the formation
of coral banks, which, by a perpetual progress
are rising from the unfathomable depths of the
sea. The union of a few of these masses of
rock shapes itself into an island ; the seeds of
plants are carried to it by thebirds or waves;
and, from the moment that it overtops the wa
ters it is covered with vegetation. 'The new
island constitutes, in its turn, a centre of
growth to another circle. The great powers
of nature appear to be still in peculiar activi
ty in this region ; and, to her tardier process,
she sometimes takes the assistance of the
volcano and the earthquake. From the South
of New Zealand to the North of the Sand
wich Islands, the waters absolutely teem with
those future seats of civilization. Still,. the
coral insect, the diminutive builder of all
these mighty piles, is at w#k ; the ocean is
intersected by myriads of those lines t>f foun
dation ; and when the rocky substructure shall
have excluded the sea, then will come the do
minion of man. [Liverpool paper.
Lord Mansfied being one time on the circuit,
a man was brought before him charged with j

to the council, ‘don’t exaggerate matters : if
the fellow had been an attorney, you may de

If it should ever fall to the lot of youth

through every part of my literary career I have
felt pinched and hampered by my own igno

half the reputation I have had the good for

discovery of the celebrated Lord Cochrane,

From the Rail Road Journal of May 27.
The Value of Rail Roads these hard
times. —The present pecuniary difficulties
have tested thoroughly public confidence in
the value of stock*. It will have been remark
ed by most of those who. have noticed the
course of events, that the stock of the Rail
Roads in successful operation, has been less
depressed by the scarcity of money than any
other kind of stock in market It is true, the
stocks of unfinished roads have been considera
bly depressed, yet not more than Bank stocks
which had been deemed by many, the best
kind of investments. This important fact in
relation to Rail Road-stock should be fully un
derstood by the community which is so deep
ly interested in the success of dtail Roads.
Every person interested in the success of any
particular road, or the system generally, should
understand fully and impress on his neighbor,
that judiciously located Rail not
only pay a good dividend on his WTestment
in the road, but it will, at the same time, great
ly enhance the value of his real estate, if he
has any. Such works produce a general in
crease in'the value of property. They are
public benefits—they benefit all.

In consequence of the trouble*at Madawaska
some of the St John’s papers are vaporing fa
mously.
From the style of their “heroics” we should
suppose that the famous Bombastes Furioso
was to command ‘the gallant 43d Lt Infantry,’ 1
and overrun all North America.
We beseech the ‘ghllant 43d’ to bear no
malice against us for w-hat our fathers may
have done at Bunker Hill, Bennington, Sara
toga, or Yorktown; and hope they jvill for
give our own obstinacy at Niagara and New
Orleans. We can assure them that a contest
with the Yankees would be but inglorious
strife, not worthy to conic ‘between the wind
and their nobility.’ We trust, therefore, that
they will be content to bear their ‘blushing
honors’ without seeking to annihilate the Yan
kees. And we would deprecate their serious
anger, by reminding them, that so easy and in
glorious have been the frequent and repeated
triumphs of British arms in America, that from
the time My Lord Percy
“ Fought at Lexington
A Major of Dragoons,”
up to the last victory at New Orleans, their
triumphs have never been recorded at the
‘Horse Guards,’ or ‘blazoned on their Regi
mental cplors.’ ' Should the 43d, however,
make a foray into Madawaska, we advise them
to provide themselves with musquito nets, for
our republican black flies and musquitoes are
very annoying when they ‘smell the blood of
an Englishman.’ [Eastport Sentinel.
Consider Yourself Reproved. At a
meeting of a fire company last evening, a mem
ber offered the following resolution:
Resolved, that Samuel A. Elliot is a hand-,
some man, and he that don’t think sf> is no judge
of music.
The resolution was rejected by a large ma- j
jority, and Mr. Elliot will please understand |
that he is not a handsome man, and some folks |
are not afraid to think so, at the expense of;
being deemed no judges of music. A bit of
waggery may be laughed at, but making a noise
under the mayor’s windows at midnight is dis
graceful, and we hope will not be repeated.

The Dime. A friend showed us Saturday,
a ten cent piece of the new coinage ; it is
smaller in circumference than those formerly’
emitted. On one side are the words “ One
Dime,” encircled with a wreath, on the other
is a finely cut figure of the old
head and trunk, that once looked iFflaringly 1
out from our coin—but a neat, sdy female
figure, sufficiently dressed, holding in one
hand a staff) surmounted with a liberty cap ;
the other hand sustains a shield, inscribed
with the word Liberty. The figure is in a

representation of Britannia on the English

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
Paris and Travelers who visit
the capital of France after an absence of on
ly five ‘"days from that of England, cannot fail
to be impressed by the 'superior vivacity of
Paris. The movements of London are chief
ly mercantile.—lxmdou is the vast entrcjwt
of the greatest kingdom in the w orfai: while
the commerce of Paris comprehends little
more than the supply of its own wants and
consumption.—Loudon being the head quar
ters of profit—Paris, of pleasure.
Some influence,however, maybe attributed
to the difference of soil and atinbspheric pres
sure. In Paris, the buisiest of the busy, as
well as the idlest of the idle, are conscious
of a certain lightsomeness of body and spirit,
incompatible with the fogs, mists, coal smoke*
and mud of humid London. The French, more
over, from high to low, from peer to pauper,
are a pleasure-loving people. However di
minutive the modicum of a Frenchman’s in
come, a certain portion of it is al ways set a
side as amusement money. He will conten
tedly pnjoy spare feasts—a radish and egg,
or even the radish w ithout the egg, pour tout
potage, three hundred days of the year, so that
the remaining sixty-fiye be enlivened by a
dance at one of the guingettes of the Barricre,
or a masked ball or two during the Carnival.
Even at the present epoch of conspiracies and
assassinations, he loves his lass, his fiddle,
and his frisk, as unreservedly as in the piping
times of Loufs XV. amid the gilded wanton
ness of legitimate monarchy. The French
man’s cry of to day is, as of yesterday, “du
pain ct des spectacles /” and richly does he de
serve his puppet-show', since he eats his dry
bread without grumbling, in order to procure
it. He is temperate and frugal, because-he
chooses to feast his eyfts and ears at the ex
pense of his grosser senses.—The treat for
John Bull is beef and beer—the treat for
Mein Herr, a pipe and tobacco; but the
Frenchman’s treat is a spectacle gratis , or a
cordre dance. There may be levity in all this,
but levity is less conductive to the* destruction*
of social order than brutality.
To this aptitude for popular enjoyment may
be attributed, in a great mbasure, the cheerful
aspect of the place. Were the Boulevards,
with their brilliant shops and theatres, lemon
ade venders, and dancing dogs, transferred to
London, they would soon lose their bright sur
face and airy frivolity. Instead of tripping
grisctles and gaudy dandies, the plodding steps
of men of business, and care-worn faces of
mothers of families, would chase the butter
flies from their haunts. The money-making
crew, whose worship of the golden calf sets
up the stalls of the money-changers in the tem
ple of pleasure as w'ell as in that of religion,
would strew the w'ay with cares ; and the sour
puritanism of our saints, and analyzing phi
losophy of our utilitarians, discern criminality
in its cheerfulness, and mockery in its tinsel.
It is good to be merry, it is good to be wise—
it is best to be both merry and wise ; but the
English are?too wise to be merry, which, after
all, is a foolish thing.
It is noticed by the French police, that,
whenever the public mind appears dispirited,
or even calm, mischief is brewing. From the
massacre of St Bartholomew to that of the
1 Abbaye, from the crimes of Clement and Rav
j aillac to that of Fieschi, the political murders
|of the French have been under the influence
of the dog stars ; they arc careful not to in
terrupt the festivities of the Carnival with in
surrections or barricades. They admired in
Napoleon his love of public pomps almost as
much as his genius for conquest orlegislation;
and still form disparaging comparisons be
tween the sage economy of the citizen king
and the gaudy splendors of the Imperial
Court. It is true, that the gold lace and dia
j tnonds, tire crowns and sceptres of Napoleon’s
i marshals and brother-kings,, were defrayed at
the expense of foreign countries; while the
worsted, epaulets of the Due de Nemours and
the dotation of her majesty of Belgium are to
be paid for by that ugliest of Christian coun
tries, la belle France. —[London Paper.

Effects of Halley’s Comet. This
comet, although of late celebrity, may be tra
ced with every degree of probability, to a pe
riod of one hundred and thirty years before
Christ, as being the first time it was discover
ed. In 1220 its appearance was attended with
the most extraordinary circumstances: during
that year the heat was intense, with great in
undations. In the spring of the following
year the Mediterranean was frozen and the
goods were conveyed across in carts.—This
comefSo organized tire atmosphere a year
or two afterwards there was thunder and light
ning for sixteen successive days. At its next
return, in 1305, the Baltic sea w-as frozen over
for 14 weeks, between the Danish and Swee
tish Island.—ln 1445, its next appearance,
great, rains, inundations, and the
BaKn as covered with ice from Mecklenburg
to BfKmaSPduring the following winter.—
Its next appearance was near the year 1531.
Rome, Antwerp, and Lisbon suffered from in
undations ; and a flood is recorded to have
taken place in England, extending from Som

tensely hot; yet on the 12th of June there
was frost, and the succeeding winter intense
ly cold. We now approach the last appear
ances of the Comet, and let philosophers judge
whether it has its effects or not on the atmos
phere ; the unusually cold temperature of the
summer, and the exceedingly wet and stormy
autumn, which has rendered the result of the
latter harvest extremely doubtful, and has so
organized the atmosphere, that the approach
ing winter, I have no doubt, will be immens

' dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,

liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con

I sceptical shall acknowledge “ the power of
I concentration can no farther go.” No book,

entirely distinct periodical.
