BRING WINE, &c.
Brinif Wine i but not for the festal board—
The wretch sits not where the song is pour'd !
Not where the lamps of the banquet blaze,
Falleth tho gleam of wandering gaze !
He hath gone apart, in the rayless night
Os his fierce thoughts, and he scorns the light;
Ho hath gone apart, in his mute despair—
Bring wine ! to cheer the dark man there.
Bring wine!—nor yet for the lip of youth ;
There needs no flush for its glow of truth ;
The man of years!—he hath turned aside,
The bursting moan and the tear to hide ,
His footstep”hath crossed life's rugged steep,
And the valiey opes for his dreamless sleep
Sleep that shall pain and grief assuage !
Bring wine, rich wine! for the sleep ot age.
Bring wine, bring wine !—O'er the bridal bower,
That bloom'd and blush’d in the morning hour,
The night hath pass'd with its chilling breath
And the rose-strewn couch is the bier of death.
The guest sits there, and his cold still eye
Looks where the forms of the bridal lie—
The guest P —with no wreath his brow is clad !
Brino- wine! for the death-watch—his soul is
sad.
Yet, yet, bring wine ! with floods of cheer,
To wash the stain of the mourner's tear.
The mother’s grief, and the sister’s woe,
The father’s moan for his son laid low—
’Mid his clanging arms, with stride of might.
He trode the morn—and is this his night ?
The bowed are there, with the sigh and wail
Bring wine, bring wine ! for their lips grow pale.
Bring wine !—vain, —vain! It hath nought of pow
er,
The cheer of wine, in the soul s dark hour !
The cup is hurled from the wreich’s rage,
It falls from the palsied hand of age !
The wine shines not where the dead have lain,
For the thirst of grief tis outpour ‘d in vain ;
It is in vain, the cheer of the glowing bowl—
Bring wine no more, for the darkened soul.
Bring wine no more, and awake no song
The bowed of heart and the sad among !
But come with whispers of heaven and peace,
And the promised rest —the moan shall cease,
The tear shall fade from the mourner s eye.
And the grief weigh and spirit mounted on high ;
Corne where the plaint and the sigh is heard—
Yet, bring no wine, but the Saviour’s word.
Serious Riot at Philadelphia. —A letter received
at the Exchange News llootn yesterday, from
Philadelphia, says: “ Last night we had a mob
among the Weavers in the upper part of the city.
From some cause, a dispute arose among them,
when the Watchmen of the Northern Liberties,
with several citizens, interfered, which resulted
in the death of two of the Wacthmen, with some
broken arms, heads, Ac. The rioters have been
arrested.”
A gentleman who left Xibra, Cuba, about the
24th ult. informs the editors the New-York Mer
cantile Advertiser, that the Collector of the Cus

nephew at Mansanilla, stating that the Spanish
part of St Domingo had been been ceded to
Spain by the Haytien government, and that Com.
Laborde, with two 74's two frigates, and some
smaller vessels, v-ith 3000 troops, had sailed from
Havana to take possession of the same.
Extract of a letter dated Carthagena Bay, July
12, 162 e—“ There appears to be no news at pre
sent, more than what you ought to have heard,
ere this—that is, the proceedings respecting- the
elevation of Bolivar to the Dictatorship. Gene
ral Padilla is, at present in Bogota, where he
awaits a hearing on his mutiny at this place some
three or four months ago—as to money matters,
the people are so much afraid of government, that
they are sendiug oif all the money they can
raise to keep it out of the hands of the officers.”
Counterfeits —The Boston Courier says :
u counterfeit twenty dollar bills of the Lnited
States Bank, are in circulation, payable at
Charleston, S. C. New-Orleans, Hartford, and
Middletown, so accurately executed as to require
the strictest examination to detect them: they
have been taken by the Tellers of the Banks in
this city, within ten days; and but a short time
since, one was taken, as good, at the Boston
Branch. The bill, payable at Middletown, appears
to have been lately filled up.
Pensacola, Aug. s. — Arrival of the Hornet. —
Tiie U. S. Sloop of War Hornet, Capt. Claxton,

which were lying at anchor on the Tortugas, en
gaged in smuggling.
Captain Hawkins, who commanded the Mexi

Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated the 30th
ult:—“ The Russian subjects have demanded
passports from the Dutch Consul, and are pre
paring to leave this place. Admiral De Rigny is
now in our seas; the French and English Admi

spite of all the efforts their Captains could make
to hinder them. Their example has been follow

At Marseilles the mate of a vessel quarrelled

fire to a cask of powder—the explosion of which
killed him and two officers of health, who were
on board.
A Paris paper of June 28th, states that the com
mission appointed to examine the proposition for
the impeachment of the late administration as
sembles daily. It seems that the report is not
likely to be presented as soon as expected. We
hear that in a Secret Committee of the Chamber
of Deputies, held on Thursday, two propositions
were made. One of them was for the revision of
the laws on bodily arrest; and the other for a re
duction of the duties on wine, by one eighth, and
to render increase of duty, in future, impossible
otherwise than by a law. These propositions will
be taken into consideration by the Chamber to

Partial returns of the Election in Kentucky
have been received in this city from upwards of
thirty out of eigii. y-odd counties in the state. By
these returns, tne administration ticket was ahead
by six or eight hundred votes. The returns are
so vague, in some instances, and incomplete in
others, that we do not venture to recapitulate
them. So soon as we have anv that can he relied

Anti Masonic Nomination. —The deliberations
of this body have resulted, as per advices in last
evening’s western mail, in the nomination of
Francis Granger for Governor, and John Crary,
of Washington county, for Lieutenant Governor.
This nomination of Mr. G. cannot, of course, be
accepted ; inasmuch as the Albany Daily Adver

Mr. Granger lias acccepted the nomination of
Lieutenant Governor, by the Albany Convention.”

Attempt at Burglary. —We understand that an
attempt was made last night bj r some villains to en
ter the North River Bank. At about 2o’clock, Mr.
Stebbins, the Cashier, was awakened by a noise
of a suspicious character, and summoned some of
the watchmen to assist in investigating the cause.
They seemed unwilling or afraid to lend their
help. Mr. S. found in the entry of the house of
Mr. Spies, druggist, which adjoins the Bank, a
hat. a pair of boots and a coat, and the premises
were surrounded and watched. The upper part
of this house was so much injured by the recent
fire, that the family had left it. The person or
persons who entered it, found their way ©ver the
ruins of Mr. Montgomery's house at the corner.
At day light this morning, a man attempted to
make his escape, by jumping from a shed on the
premises lately occupied by Mr. Montgomery.—
He ran up Greenwich-street before he was over
taken, and was then carried to the Police office.
A hole had been made in the wall between Mr.
Spies house and the banking room, about eight
inches in depth, and a foot square. We have not
learned any further particulars ; but are informed
that if an entrance into the banking room had
been effected, the thieves could not have secured
any plunder.—JY. Y. Cum. Adv. Aug. 15.
Byihe U. S. schr Shark, arrived here

JY. Y. Daily Advertiser , 1 6th inst.
The U. S schr. Shark, which arrived
last evening, fell in with, off Shark River,
yesterday morning, British barque Lady

been laying too and landing passengers
and baggage for the twenty four hours pre

From the Charleston Courier.
It affords us pleasure to be enabled to
state, that an application of the Board of
Directors of the South Carolina Canal
and Rail Road Company , to the United
States War Department, for Engineers to
survey the country between this city and
Hamburg, with a view to the location of a
Rail Road, has been well received. A let
ter from the Engineer Department to the
President of the above company, states,
that previous to the application being made,
the officers had been detailed on other du
ties ; but it was confidently believed that
some of these duties would be completed
sufficiently early to enable the Department
to detach officers for the surveys asked for
in South Carolina, before the mouth of No
vember, so as to allow them to be employ
ed during the season at which alone it would
be practicable to carry on such operations
in the lower part of our State ; and tha f ar
rangements will be immediately made to
ascertain this point, and due notice given
to the President of ihe company. It will
also be encouraeiug to the friends of the
R til Road, to learn that J. R Pringle, esq
Collector of Charleston, has received in
structions from the Treasury Department,
to levy a duty upon imported iron prepared
for Rail Roads, of only 25 percent, ad va
lorem, instead ol S3O per ton, the specific
duty on unmanufactured iron ; thereby
making a saving to the South Carolina
Company of many thousand dollars
While on this subject, it would be only
just to say, that, since their election, the
Directors of the Company have been stea
dily and industriously employed in procur
ing information, and making preparatory
arrangements for a vigorpus prosecution of
the work in which they have embarked,
and that every encouragement is now held
out for its rapid and successful completion.
Another Riot in Philadelphia. —About
dusk, on Tuesday evening, a number of per
sons collected, in the Northen Liberties,
near the place wheie the riot occurred on
the previous night. Towards ten o’clock
they became tumultuous. Their fury it is
said, was excited by a flag which had been
hung out, in the morning as a token of vic
tory on the part of the Irish at a house
in Third above Beaver street, kept as a ta
vern, bv one O’Neale, and inhabited by
weavers. This house was attacked, and a
great part of the inside demolished. Dur
ing the affray, several shots were fired from
the house, and two persons wounded, one
seriously and one slightly. A man by the
name of Nell was grievously beaten with
clubs. A young lady was struck iu the
face by small shot, which, however, were
so far spent, before reaching her, that she
sustained no injury. A pistol was fired at
a Mr. Coleman, by a man who dropped an
other as he ran. This Mr. Coleman pick
ed up, and took home with him After as
certaining as he thought, that it was not
loaded, he was amusing two of his children,
by shewing them the manner of firing,
when it went off and lodged a ball in the
wash-board, fortunately without injuring
the children Mr. Coleman thinks lie
could identify the man who fired at him.
A double barrelled gun was brought to the
office of Frederick Wolbert, Esq. about
eleven last evening, and a pistol this morn
ing. Mr. Wolbert, and the police officers
under his direction, are engaged in endea
voring to discover and secure the offenders.

Melancholy Shipwreck. —His Majesty’s
ship They arrived on Sunday, nd brought
in 152 men, women and children, including
ten of the crew, with the mate, saved from
the deck of the brig Despatch, Captain
Lancaster, of Workington, from London
derry, bound to Quebec
The D. sailed from Londonderry on the
29th May with a crew of 11, including the
Captain, and 200 passengers; experienced
westerly winds until she made the coastof
Newfoundland, on the 7th inst. had no
observation for 18 days; supposed the land
was Cape Ceapeau Rouge; on the 10th,
weather still continuing thick, with the
wind S. E. about 5 F. M considering
themselves abreast of Cape Ray, distant
20 miles, kept away N W. when 1-2 N.
when, after running about an hour, disco
vered a rock on the lee bow, the helm was
immediately put down, but the wind being
thrown out of the sails by a heavy swell,
the brig was thrown nearly on the top of
it, and shortly after filled; attempts were
now made to reach the main land which
was discovered to be about three quarters
of a mile off, in boats; the first, in which
was the captain, swamped, and all on board
perished; the mate, in another, fortunately
succeeded in reaching the shore, but was
prevented by a heavy surf from returing
to the wreck, uutil the following day, when
he was unable, from the same cause, to
make more than one trip; on the next day
he was however more fortunate, having,
by the assistance of the fishermen who
lived near the place, succeeded in landing
the survivors, who afterwards stripping off
their clothes, were drawn from the rock in
to the boats by ropes fastened round their
waists. Sir R Giant, who was provi
dentially cruising in the neighborhood, was
made acquainted with their wretched situ
ation by Geo. Harvey, one of the fisher
men, on the 17th, but was unable, fiom
thick fog to bring the ship near enough to
get them on board, until the next day,
when every thing possible was done to re
lieve their distresses and make them com
fortable. Survivors —77 men, 45 women
and 30 children; of ihose who perished,
12 were washed off the rock, 10 died of
fatigue and hunger on it. 11 after landing,
and 3 in the boats from the shore to the
ship. The whole of these unfortunate peo
ple, we learn, were in comfortable circum
stances, one of W'hom, a Scotchman, had
property to the amount of ,£SOO on board,
and he is now left with a family of 13 child
ren, entirely destitute; indeed all that any
of them have saved are a few clothes which
w'ere washed on shore.
St. John's, N. B. Aug , 2. —The ship
Hugh J ohnson, Captain Brown, of this
port, arrived here on Saturday last from
Liverpool, via New York, whither she
conveyed 180 Emigrants, among whom
were several Farmers with their families,
from the inland Counties of England
The bulk of the Emigrants, however, were
Agricultural labourers and their families
sent aw r ay at the expense of their Parish
es; they were chiefly from Essex and
Kent. The tide of emigration from these
parts has hitherto beeu comparatively very
inconsiderable; but if the few possessed of
capital, who have now been induced to try
fortunes in the New World, meet with any
think like good encouragement, we need
not wonder if they have many followers at
no distant period. The plan of parishes
paying offi heir paupers in that way, is no
vel, but perhaps it is a measure of good pol
icy.

Wine Trade of England and the United
S fates. — By a report lately made to Parlia
ment, the following was the quantity of
foreign wines imported into Great Britain
from the year 1823, and consume and in the
kingdom:
1823 4,504.211 gallons
1824 4,714,940 do
1825 7,305,433 do
1826 5,610,677 do
1827 6,254,310 do
Total, 28,549,571
Os this quantity, 14,374,898 gals, were Portuguese,
6,898,095 do Spanish,
2,578,189 do Cape,
1,574,300 do Madeira, J
1,544,865 do French.
During the year enc ing September 30,
1827 it appears by our own Treasury
Report, that the quantity of wine imported
into the United States was 2,375,503 gal
lons, being more than half the quantity
consumed in Great Britain in the same
time. From this, however, is to be taken
the quantity re-exported from the United
States, which leave for consumption in this
country about 2,800,000 gallons, or nearly
half the quantity consumed in the United
Kingdom. The proportions obtained from
different foreign countries are, it may be
observed, widely different. W hile Eng
land imports from Portugal more than one
half of all the wine she consumes, we ob
tain from the game quarter only about cue
twenty fourth part of our wine. On ihe
other hand, England draws from France
only one eighteenth part of the wine she
imports, while the United States are cus
tomers to France for more than one half
of all the wine brought into this country.
England gets nearly one tenth of her wine
from the Cape of Good Hope, from which
source we scarcely receive any.
