If so, he, at least, cannot complain of tlje miseries of Authorship. 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 stealing a silver ladle; and in the course of I the trial, the counsel for the crown was rather severe upon the prisoner for being an attorney come,’ said his Lordship in a whisper to the council, ‘don’t exaggerate matters : if the fellow had been an attorney, you may de pend upon it he would have stolen the bowl as well as the ladle.’ If it should ever fall to the lot of youth (says Sir Walter Scott in his Autobiography) to peruse these pages let such a reader remem ber that it is with the deepest regret that I rec ollect in my manhood the opportunities of learning which I neglected in my youth; that through every part of my literary career I have felt pinched and hampered by my own igno rance ; and that I would at this moment give half the reputation I have had the good for tune to acquire, if by so doing, I could rest the remainding part upon a sound foundation of learing and science. Quicksilver Power. 'Hie half hour steamer, plying between London and West mifeter bridges, emits no smoke, being work ed by Quicksilver. So says the London Her ald. To this we may add, observes the New York Era, “ that the expansion of quicksilver by heat, as a power for machinery, was the discovery of the celebrated Lord Cochrane, now Lord Dundonnaid. He took a vessel of bOO tons, into the Mediterranean and back, with this pow er* but there was some seeret respecting its application which he kept to himself; and until we saw the above para graph, we were not aware that he had ever disclosed it.”—[New York Era. 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. Charleston and Hamburg Rail Road. The Semi-annual report of the directors of that Rail Road, appeared in the Charleston Courier of last Tuesday. It appears that £he income of the last half year, ending June 30, amounted to $122,077; the current expences to $74,700, leaving a balance of $47,377. Front this balance a dividend has been declared of $3 per share on 12,000 shares, $30,000; leaving a balance unappropriated of $11,377. There is a proposition pending, which will no doubt be taken into consideration at the meet ing, of the StocWiolders of the Cincinnati Rail Road Company at Flat Rock, in October next The proposition is for the Cincinnati Rail Road Company to 71111011030 the Charles ton and Hamburg Rail Road. [Constitution alist Mister Colin Campbell, “ Lt. Col. Com manding.,” his Majesty’s forces in the Prov ince of New Brunswick, prefaced his District Order with the following gasconade. Mr. Campb.ell’s language is very much like that of the Commandant of the Mexican schooner, who thought it would give him a relish for his breakfast, to employ the previous hour in cap turing and sinking the whole American Na vy. John Bull should teach his calf better manners: [Portland Argus. “In consequence of the bullying and blus tering tone assumed by the Governor ofMaine on the subject of the merited incarceration of Mr. Greely who was acting in violation of the j positive agreement between the two Govern- j ments, to abstain from exercising Ownership j or in any wise interfering with the debatable land until the Boundary Line Question was 1 settled, I think it incumbent upon every loyal | subject of His Majesty in this province to! evince their determination to rally around the Executive, should those presumptuous threats of Gov. Dunlap be carried into effect, and as there is no time to communicate with Head Quarters upon the subject, I deem it my duty as the senior acting Militia Officer of this Border County , to request the insertion of the I enclosed District Order. lam Sir, your most! ob’t serv’t COLIN CAMPBELL, « Lt Col. Commanding.” “My native land-*good n'-ght.” 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. [Boston Transcript 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 sitting posture, and resembles, generally, the representation of Britannia on the English coins. [U. S. Gazette. Extraordinary Fact. A man employed in cutting down a sycamore tree, in a gentle man’s garden in the neighborhood lane, flverton, found a tl-oitle’s nest, nqsr the top*)f it, composed of eight yards lace and two net caps, which articles, had been misled by the family, and, in consequence, one of the servants unfortunately turned away* To what a state of luxury must England have arrived, when even birds form their beds of blonde lace! ' . 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. A Perilous Adventure. Sam Patch Out done. The Canajoharie Radii tells us that on the i)th inst a young man by the name of Boyce, while attempting to clamber up the precipice adjoining the Canajoharie Falls, lost foothold, and seizing at the instant a dry bush which broke in his hand, caused him to fall directly upon the margin of the cascade. Fortunately he struck upon his feet, and find ing the momentum so great that he could not avoid going down the falls, he made a power ful leap, (to clear the projecting rocks, and succeded in gaining the bason, which is 45 feet below, and more than 10 feet from the line of perpendicular at the summit. What is more singular, the basin is only about 8 feet in diamter, and enclosed with pointed rocks and precipices, having not more than three feet depth of rapid water to cover the uneven bottom, and notwithstanding, the man escaped with very*little injury—[Boston Trans.

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 mersetshire to Norfolk. The summer was in 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 ly cold.—[Correspondent of the Caledonian Mercury, 1833. A Cold Water Celebration. There was a tremendous row at New Berlin, Che nango county, in this State, on the 4th. Two parties quarrelling who should have the dining room at Williams’ Hotel, one of them got out the engine to play into the house. Gen. A. C. Welsh stood before the piazza; the master of the Hotel held a cowhide and pistol. The General, like Napoleon at Greenoble, bared his breast and said, “ Shoot your Emperor if you will!” The mob shouted, the water spouted; decanters flew, the landlord grew blew; bang went the cut-glass, on the heads of the guilty mass ; bottles smath, general crash ; tumblers, chairs, pulling hairs ; from the upper quarter, showers of glass for water; now pelting stones, and broken bones; piazza fight, honor bright; bloody scuffles, torn ruf fles ; the outs take the house by storm, the ins driven out forlorn.
