By Mrs. He nans.
The gloomiest Hay lialli gleams <4 light ;
Jluqlyrkest wuvct Hath bright ffimn near it
Sown solitary star to cheer it.
■The gloomiest soul is not nil gloom;
Tim sud.lt-si heart is not nil sadioss;
•Aitt siveetlv orr the darkest doom.
There fliinos soma liugeri.ig beam of
gladness
Despair is never quite despair ;
Nor life, nor Heath, the future close* ;
And round fhr shadowy brow <>! fare.
Will Hope ami fancy twine tbur roses
A SERENADE.
Love art thou waking or sleeping ?
Shadows with morning should tie**: —
Love, art thou smiling, or weeping !
Open thy lattice to me !
Sun-light each sorrow beguiling.
Youth should be fearless ar.d free :
Oh! when all nature is smiling,
Wilt thou not smile upon me ?
Think on our last blissful meeting, —
Sunshine dissolving in tears;
Oh ! when love's pulses are beating,
Moments are precious as years !
Think op the hope that, soft wiling,
Lured me unbidden to thee :
Oh ! when ill nature is smiling.
Wilt thou not smile upon me T
ltoses thv temples once wreathing,
Now on mv bosom lie dead;
In their pale beauty still breathing
Fr igrance of hours that have fled !
Tims through my heart sweetly thrilling,
Memory whispets to me,
“Oh! when all nature i* smiting,
Ella “ ill smile upon thee !” .

,4 mwcft injured Ma.u.—George T:l—
----ington, once a celebrated horse-dealer
at Uttoxeter, whodted on the lith Afyd,
l !2;>, at Chenille, Cheshire, Kupland,
ii his 84<l year, met with more accideuls
man propably ever betel any other hu
man being, lip to the year I7S they
wore as follows: right shnttMi'r broken;
r kull fractured, and trepanned ; left arm
broken in two places • three ribs on the
left side tnoken ; a cut in the forehead :
l meet case, tine case, and knife forced
i ito the thigh ; three rihs broken on the

left faille dislocated ; cut for a fistula:
tight ankle dislocated and hip knocked

t< • rtfm.i a glass of whi'-it lie
i look every three hours, for fight reeks
and afterwartls occasionally. Since then,
in 182S, in his eightieth year, lie had a
mortification of the second toe of the
right foot, with exfoliation of the bone,
from which he recovered, and at last
died from gradually declining age. lie
was the father of eighteen children, by
one wife, in fifteen years, ail of whom,
lie survived, and married again at the age
of seventy-lbur.
Asa pretty large number of culprits
were one day going to take their last de
gree at Tyburn, the wife of one uflliein
pressed through die Crow and, and told the
sheriffs she had come to see her poor
husband executed, and begged tiiat lie
might be hanged first in the morning, as
site had a great w ay to go home.
DGMxJiJUC.
Sheriff Van Swearingen of Maryland,
taken. —Wc have verbally heard through
various chunueis, ill a manner which
goes to under the, tact very probable,
that Geo. Van Swearingen,who is
charged with having murdered his wife
in Alegany county, Md. in September
hist, was recently taken near the bed
river, tn Kentucky, together with Rachel
Cunninglrain, his suspected partner in
the crime. It is said they were appre
hended by a tavern keeper, (who is also
a postmaster) at whose house they had
passed the night. In an hotrr alter
their departue, the niuij arriving with
Gov. Kent's proclamation, describing
Swearingen and Ills paramour, suspi
cion was directed towards them, and
the postmaster collecting a few neigh
bours, went m pursuit and overtook them
in two or three hours.
We have heard tiie following history of
Rachel Cunningham to whom Lilian's
Mil wood, in the tragedy of Geo. barn
well, cannot hold a c.uiule.
She was brought up at Bedford, Penn,
where she was probably early initiated
into the corruptions of that {during the
watering season) fashionable and been
lions place. Os her early history, how - ;
ever, we have heard nothing, except that j
her person was perfectly lovely, and
that tier countenance was a minor in
in which eacli winning grace strove for
preeminence. Possessing perhaps as
great a share of personal beauty as was
ever lavished on a woman in the most
wanton freaks of Nature’s workmanship,
rivaling perhaps the fabled nymphs ot
Cyprus, si e visited Franklin co. Penn,
where the drama may he said first to
have opened. There she ensnared the !
affection of a Mr. L—, o.ie of the most
wealthy and heretofore respectable met - j
chants of that county, and effected a sop-1
aration between himself and wife. Stung |
at length with ren erse, he summoned j
sufficient courage to break the sptl
which bound him, and succedeed n. ex-1
tricating himself from total rmr.
The scene now shifts to Pittsburgh*. here
the heroine of the drama soon captivated
a wealthy blacksmith, the proprietor also
of an extensive livery stable, whose itifi
delitv threw his wile into a frenzy, and
cTuseu nei, m u .• . a
desparation, to set lire to her husband’s
possession, by which his extensive stable
and for tv horses wire consumed. Phis
effected the wire’s desire and the modern
Mißvood w as again east upon the world.
The scene next shifts to Harrisburg,
the capital of Pennsylvania, where sue
soon contracted- an amour with judge
F—, a name foremost in the list of de
bauchees and profligates in that exem
plary state. The consequence of w liirh
was another matrimonial separation. Her
reason lor leaving the judge we do not
remember, nor is it material.
The 4ih act finds her la Hagerstown,
Md. where she spe* dily entrapped in her
toils the sheriff of the County, l,to. Van
Swearingm , who has frequently been
heard to say that lie never knew or felt
the raptures of love until he looker! upon
tins syren, and that he never could gaze
upon her without his whole frame being
wrought up to the highest state of f<ewil
dering excitement. To her he sacrificed
everything—fortune, honour, fame ; fur
her he became a felon—and for her he
will probably die a felon’s death. /
The sth and last act is yet to he per
formed. The materials are at hand—the
the dungeon scene—the gallows—the
executioner—the as enibifd multitude—
the dying speech—and the stow but cer
tain triumph of justice.
This history is brief, but what a tale
does it tinioi'i ! VV c question whether, if
w ritten out at length, the life of any oth
er woman in this or any other country
wouldpresent a fouler pictureofself pul
iation, Iti't and loathsomeness, with a
more 1 imeutable conquest over connubi
al honour or domestic peace. The desire
of gam may induce some hireling writer
and more sordid publisher to collect Ihe
particulars of her life and spread them
before the world, ptnfesedly as a bea
con liaht to guard the morals of otir
country women from similar excesses.
But we trust nut. Such a book, bv pre
senting in captivating language her ca
reer of crime, would do infinite tri'sohief
and be the means of blighting many a
fair flower.— Winchester, l a. Jltji,
American Enterprise. —A Cooper re
siding in or near Newburyport, Massa
chusetts less than two years ago started
an experiment that hut for its success
might have branded him a madman.—
With the small means in ♦'is control be
procured a Fink stern or chebaeco boat
of about 33 tons, such as is used in tiio
Matkarel fishery and with an experien
ced mate and a good crew proceeded to
the Falkland Islands in pursuit of seal

ted out his Pink stern in a more ample
manner and in few months slatted on
another sealing voyage, well the deter
mination of taking the skins lie should
collect directly to London w here they
commanded a better price titan they do in

Our Cotton Trade. —It has been urg
ed by the advocates of the Tariff, that
Great Britain cannot supply herself w ith
cotton from any country but the United
Hiatus. Facts were the best comnien
i tary,on this doctrine.- and much as we
| may wi-.li that it might be tine we fear
! tiiat facts will show it to be an utter mis
-1 take. Let those who hold this opinion
! iook at the following table which we
have extracted from an account of sales
and imports of cotton published at Liv
erpool on the Ist of November. t We
recommend it also to the'attention of
the proprietors of the Southern plants
! lions, of the Northern merchants and of
; the Legislature of the nation. In the
business of supplying the English cotton
market, it appears that other count.is
! arc rapidly gaining on thel idled States.
Within a short period a surprising dim, I
nation has taken place in the impm ta j
tion of cotton into England from all the I
large commercial pons in this count! v,
from New Orleans to Portland. The
imports from most other countries have
proportionally increased. Pernambu
co, Bahia, Maranham, Egypt and the
East Indies have become our rival: .
If they hive gained upon us so rapidly
| during the past year what will *he the
j case in the next, when the ceftainty of
i finding a market shall have extended
the cultivation of this article? It is net
| unwise, even to madness, to persist ;n ;

roots what has hitherto been the most
floudshing and productive staple of our
country ?

the prill'd (Mrs on which the present war

is the right ti e f armor el.iiine.i to a free
passage for then commercial shipping
through the Bosphorus and the Darda
nelles from the Knxine sea. Tl. = sea is
not cent so extensive as the ini nr!
of the .northern continent ofAineiica.
It s true we call our seas lak'-s, but
what is the Black Sea in comparison to
Huron, 1. ie. Michigan, Superior, Arc.
w hich are united together bv w.ttei com
mu -icarior, the outlet to which to the
Atlantic is the river St. Lawrence.
The tri-rkory on the southern shore of
these laki-s is all under the dominion of
the United States. Why should the U
uited Slates then delay asserting her
claims lo a free navigation of the North
American inland si-is, when Russia is
allowed by the same power which with
holds this right Horn us, to permit the
Russian Emperor'jo the battle upon a
similar claim? Five states, and two
territories are interested in this great
question. Vermont, New-York. Penn
s> Ivauia, Ohio, Indiana, border on these !
seas, beside* the territory of Michigan, j
and die proposed territory of Huron.—
In a few years these states will contain a
population of six millions. ‘I he free
navigation of the Ft. Lawrence, as the
country becomes populous, w ill become
\ cry valuable to the people bordering on
lal.es. The obstruction now created by
the Falls ofNiagata will soon be obvia
ted by canals of every size and dimen
sion.
“In the late treaty o r peace between
Buenos Ayres and Brazil, there was a
condition which has a considerable bear
ing upon this disputed point. The fol
lowing is the article!
“Both the high contracting parties
oblige themselves to employ all means
in their power, in order that the naviga
tionoftbe rivet Plate, and of all others
that empty into it, may be kept free for
the use of the subjects of both nations
for the spare of fifteen years, in the forts,
that may he agreed upon, in the defini
tive treaty of peace.”
The treaty, it will he recollected, w as
math* under the mediation of an English
minister. Ry its terms, the Brazilian
Government possesses the free naviga
tion of tin* river Plate, while both the
hanks of that river, as its tnnyth is under
the dominion of another power. The
southern banks of the La Plata is the
territory of the Brazilian Republic, and
the northern “bunk is governed now by
Monte Video and the Banda Oriental,
which will probably unite itself with the
Argentine Republic.
The natural right which the inhabi
tants ofthe United St ites bordering on
the lakes possess to a free navigation of
the Ft. Lawrence, is far stronger than
that ofthe branches to Hie river La Pla
ta. T here is no inland sea in Fnuth-
Ameriea. Tim river Plate flows from
no Erie, or Superior, which are naviga
ble for ships of war. In pursuance of
this- topic, we might instance the free
navigation of the rivers which flow from
the centre of Germany, and which pass
through the tenitories of several inde
pendent Governments.

Monied institution * of the South. —
AYc are indebted to an obliging corres
pondent, for the following extract of a
letter from Augusta, Geo. under date
of the 1 lilt instant:—
“We learned last evening, that a bill
has passed the lower bouse ol ottr legis
lature, taxing bickers very heavily ; and
as we are pretty much the only brokers
in the state, it is levelled directly at us,
and has been got up very.privately, at
the instance of some bank directors here.
The provisions of the bill, are to make
us pay j per cent, on the amount of eve
ry bill you may draw at less than 60
dais, and £ percent, on all we draw at
88 days or over—to make us pay J per
cent every quarter year on all funds we
may employ in the brokerage or ex
change business, and to make a state
ment of all drafts we make, and ofthe
amount of money in employ, under oath
quarterly, under a penalty of $5600 for
noncotnpliance.
•‘One could not have supposed that
such a bill could have got through eith
er bouse of any legislature; but such is
the fact, and it passed almost unani
mously, probably because it was pushed
through in a burry, and very few- mem
bers knew or cared any thing about the
subject, or if they did, voted solely horn
hostility to brokers.
“The opposition comes from sopie of
the directors of the State Bank here and
the new Insurance Bank, which isa reg
ular brokers’s office, buying and selling
exchange and U. S. Notes. Things bare
come to such a pass that I must come di
rectly in coilission with the banks, or
quit the placo. Great prejudices are ex
cited against us, and, us usual, the pres
ent derangement of monied affairs
throughout the state, and the consequent
pressure of the monied institutions, by
the ignorant is entirely attributed to bro
kers.^"—Philadelphia Gazette.
