fob siusic.
Not yet, dear Poland, shalt tbou perish—
Our own once glorious parent land—
Still memory each deed shall cherish,
Gfthy sword-slaughtered martyr band.
Then, forward, be our cry,
When Danger’s day is nigh,
When tho battle rages high,
And our glory is to die!
Then forward, forward, forward and forward be
our cry—
Then forward evermore, and still forward be our
cry.
So be it ours with thee to fall,
Our blood, our gold, our lives are thine;
And oh, how blest, who offers all
On Freedom's holy patriot slrrine,
Unfurl the Polish Ragle,
And bid her fly her flight;
The tliuudcr is her voice—
The lightning is her might.
And must thy triumph cost thee dear?
Anil must thou bleed at every pore?
Yet bare thy brand, and dash tho tear,
For Freedom's prico endears her mare.
By old Sobicski's spirit,
And Kosciusko’s name!
Their daring we inherit—
Thy sons arc still the samo.
Shall tho proud Muscovite enslave us?
Go, ask the deeds our sires have done,
No—let first his chosen brave us—
The glory field be lost or won! ‘
Your country is behind ye,
The invader is before,
The sword is iu your grasp,
And what would ye have more.
Hark! booms tho sullen cannon's roar!
Oh, bo it drown'd in victory’s shout;
Hark! uearer, deeper thau before!
Bar'd be each blade, each carbine out!
Then forward be our cry, &c. &c.

From the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Journal.
New Inve.vtioH.—Wo examined a few days
since, a Gun, of handsome workmanship, the
stock made in tho usual manner, with no other
appearance of a lock tlrm the guard and trigger,
It is on the percussion principle, and so consruc-
ted that with once priming it may be discharged
sixty times. The ingenious inventor and maker
of it is George W. Alorsc, now about seventeen
years of age; son of Rev. Bryan Alorsc, of Ha
verhill, in this state. Wo aro indebted to a cor
respondent of the State Herald, for tho follow
ing particular description:—
The breech-pin as it is called, makes the out
er boundary of tho lock. The guard is divided
into two parts. The anterior half serves only to
complete tho form of a common guard, and is
immoveable. The other half acts as a lover,
and is atached to tho upper prong of the breceh-
pin and passes through a mortice which is made
in the hammer. By drawing back this half of
the guard, the hammer is drawn with it, and by
this motion the gun is cocked.
There is a small spring fixed in the upper part
of tho breech-pin, which throws back tho move-
able half of the guard after the hammer is fixed
for firing, so that the guard then appears to be en
tire. The hammer consists of a straight bar of
stocl, two inches long, and tho fourth of an inch
square, through which is a mortice, as above
mentioned, for the moveable half of tho guard to
play in. The hammer is thrown* forward by a
spring which is in form of the letter U and which
is secured to the upper prong of the hrccch-pin
at tho posterior anil under part. The hammer
moves in a straight line, and strikes agaiust tile
center of the barrel. Tbe trigger is secured to
a pillar which is placed between the prongs of
the bfeech-pin, and which also supports tho liam-
mdr. It is shaped like the capital letter L inver
ted: A small spring under tho fore part elevates
the upper end of tho trigger against the end of
the hammer, which keops the gun cocked.—In
the operation of cockiug tho gun, tho. nipple
(which slides into that end of the hammer which
is neared the barrel,) is drawn, forwards ouo six
teenth ol'an inch. A space is thus made in tho
hammer directly under the magazine, and the
priming falls into this spaco or cavity. Tho nip
ple is one fourth of an inch long, and one twelfth
of on inch iu diameter, with a cap largo enough
to cover the head of tho hammer, and has a per
foration iu it largo enough to admit a common
j>in. Tills hole makes a communication between
i ho space in the hammer (which receives tho
,riming from tho mngazino above,) to tho charge
a the barrel of tho gdn—When the hammer is
driven forward in act of firing, the nipple strikes
against tho barrel, and is forced into a hole made
in tip hammer, whore tho firing is effected by
sercussion. The magazine contains sixty prim-
ngs, and is so contrived that neither water nor
dampness can penetrate into it,
Com Shelling Machine,—A machine for kllcl
ling Indian add cleaning out Broom Corn,-has
been invented hy an ingenious Mechanic in this
towd, which we think promises to be extremely
useful; its appcoranco is that of a winnowing
mill, having a hopper for tho cars of corn, and two
or three cylindersheloW, studded with iron knobs,
which sepaf ates the kchicl from tile cob and sends
out the latter unbroken ami clean; with this ap
paratus, two hands will shell thirty bushels of
corn in one hour! For cleansing Broom of it*
seed, the brush is laid on after tho manner of
some thrashing machines, tho iron kuobs on tho
cyliudcrs ilivestihg it entirely of tho seed, without
injuriug tho brush to much as in the ordinary pro-
eosij three hands can clean out 120 pounds of
seed iu one hour! one turning tho whocl, and the
other feeling it with materials. Wo have seen
tile apparatus in operation, and frbm tho caso
with
tion.
:i which it works, the simplicity of its construe-
j, r>u l the r.ipid nnd thorough manner in
which it performs its labor, lead us to believe that
it is an invention which possesses intrinsic merit.

. Mexican Honey-Bees—Amongst recent addi
tions to Air. Pcalo’s Museum, in Broadway, there
is, wo arc informed, a hivo of stingless bees, from
Yusutan, in Mexico, presonted by Ilenry Per*
rine, Esq. Consul of the United states at Cara-
peachy. Mr. Pcrrine, wishes to have these harm
less and Useful insects introduced into this conn-
try, and tho present swarm havo been sent hy
way of experiment to see if they can be acclima
ted. With the hivo there is a specimen of tho
wax of the stiugless bees, as prepared by the na
tives of that country.—Carolina Gazette.
Singular Fisilation of Field Mice.—Tho in
habitants of a little village called Holgay, threo
miles from Alarket Down bain, aro once in every
three or four years iufestod with an incredible
number of field mice, which dovonr their corn of
overy kind. Last week thoy repeated tboir visit.
As certain, howover as this visitation happens, a
prodigious flight of Norway owls arc sure to ar
rive, and tarry till these littlo mischievous crim
inals aro totally destroyed by them. The other
day the owls mado their appearance, to the no
small joy of tho farmers, who pay almost tho
same veneration to these birds as tho Egyptians
did to Ibis. As usual thoy oxccutcd their busi
ness, which they seem providentially sent to per
form. Tho vermin aro now all dovoured, and
the owl* have taken their flight.—London pa*

rived from Texas, says tho New Orleans Bco of
the 6th instant, imparts to us tho iutclligenco of
the murder of Captain Arnaud, of the schooner
Pomona, which had sailed from this port for 'A-
ranzas. He was killed, on his way to La Bodia.
on the 16th of August, by a party of Camanchce
Indians. The same person informs us that tho
Camauchees, after a peace of considerable du
ration, have again declared war against tho Alcxi-
can Republic. In tho neighborhood of St. An
tonio, numberless and various depredations havo
already signalized the hostility of this warlike,
ferocious and sanguinary tribo. This is another
palpable proof, that far from counteracting tho
emigration of American settlers in tho province
of Texas, the Alexican government should facili
tate every means of settlement in their power,
and thus fashion down to the yoko of civilization
those hordes which may properly be termod the
Bedouins of America.

of Alissions are expected to embark at this port
about tho fifteenth November, for the Alarquesas
and Sandwich Islands. They arc,—eight preach
ers with their wives, a physician and his wife, and
two printers. We learn that they are to taka

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Office Savannah Republican, October £6*
2 o'clock P. M.
Wo havo just returned from witnessing tha
most awful sight which it has over fallen to ouf
lot to witness. About threo quarters past 12, the
town was alarmed by an explosion and report,-
which shook many of tho largest brick buildings
on, and near tho Bay. If was soon circulated
about that the Magazine at the lower end of the
town was Mown up. Such, unfortunately pro- _
ved to be tho case. It was tho building formerly
owned hy tho Heavy Artillery, and Used as the
city Magazine. On proceeding to tho sccno of
misfortune, w* were struck with a sight—:b*
bare recollection of which causes our blood 1»
curdle. The building was in flames, at least the
lower part, for tho upper part was blown away
and lay scattered around in various sized masses.
One solid mass of brick and mortar, at least 5 feet
square, was thrown over the fortification in the
roar, at least 30 feet from the building. Scat
tered at various distances, and in Various platos,
lay tho disjointed limbs of somo of thoso unfor
tunate beings who were engaged in nnd near tho
building at the time of tho explosion. We saw
oue entire body lying near the building, and about
twenty feet from it was presented the horriblo
spectacle of a body torn in two in tbe middle—
the wholo lower extremity was in some otheV
direction. We understood that some bodies had
been removed. Tho left arm and shoulder of a
white man, and the foot of a black, were found
the adjacent mandir ~
Tho precise number of lives lost it b impossible
to ascertain at this moment of excitement. The
loss is computed at from 7 to 10—the greater
number blacks. Several persons were very
much hurt, but they received prompt assistance.
We understand that this awful calamity was oc
casioned by the indiscreet use of an Iron adze,
instead of a woodch one, in coopering a cask of
powder. Tho persons who soffered were chiefly
employed in transporting powder from this maga
zine to another of greator security;

The Madcicastcd Troubles.—Wo obtain som»
further particulars from the Eostport Northern
Light conccruiug the arrest of our fellow citizen*
at Aladawaska,
Four of them are in prison at Frederickton,
and their families left in destitute circumstance*
to take care of themselves as they can.
The Northern Light says:—The Governor Of
Now Brunswick, with his son, the Attorney Gen
eral, tbe High Sheriff, two Captains, two Lieu
tenants, two Ensigns, with a body of Militia,
(number unknown) cntcrod the town on the 23d
ult. and mode prisoners on tho 25th and 26th of
David Savage, ouo of tho Selectmen, Jesse .
Wheolock, Town Clerk, Barnabas Huuawell,
Moderator of tho meeting, find n Mr. Uanio!
Bean. The prisoners receive every attention.-
and indulgence which a humane and bnnorahlo
High Sheriff can bestow. They are all inhabi
tants of thb 8tatc. Savago was formerly from
Edcnton, and has a wife and nine xhildren, who*
are dependant on his labor for sup-port.
Whcelock is from Hope; Uv.nawcU from So
lon, and Bean from Concord. These men were
taken from their homes in t'. le midst ofharvest,
and consequently must depr.-ivn their families of
thoir anticipated support a.nd reduce them (a* we
understand Savage's family b) to a.deplorablo
situation. _ ■
