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. Cambridge. K. C.

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. Northampton Courier, The earth is 2,018,572 miles nearer the sub hi winter than id summer; It* motion if 17 miles in a second, so that if a man pull* off his hat to auotlur in the street, he goes mady mile* bare headed without catching cold. ,1 fired Temper.—A gentleman, when asked his upiuiou of a Certain critic, a few days ago, gdte ii in the following terms: •'Whyi he is a perfect crab apple—a dccoc- . 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* per. _ From Texas,—A gcntloman who yesterday ar 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. Expedition to Liberia.—The schooner Orion, now lying at Jackson’s wharf on the Point, has been chartered hy tbe Maryland State Coloniza tion Society, to carry passengers to Liberia. Six ty persons have entered their names for the voy age. Tho vessel is expected to said on Thurs day next.—Baltimore Gazette. Missionaries to the Pacific.—Twenty Mission aries under the patronago of tho American Board 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 passage in tho ship Avcrick, Captain Swaia-v- Ntio Bedford Merc. \ 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.
