POETRY, j
From the Middletown (Ct) Gazette.
On the last sad entrance of Commodore
J\lacdvnongh into thin place.
He comes—but 'ti not from the field,
Nor from th* i-usanguin’d wave,
Where pride and power were forced to yield
Their banners to the brave :
Brightly that wave is heaving now,
Us stain hath passed away,
\s life’s last flushing from the brow
Os that unconscious clay.
lie comes —but ’tis not with the sound
Os cymbal, pipe or drum —
\nd those, who ought to shout around,
Are now with sorrow dumb.
Vo gladden’d hall or festive board
Await the guiluut guest—
for she who there should greet her lord,
Is in her grave at rest.
Ib* com; r, dart mantled in his pall,
At midnight's solemn still,
V* bile not a voice is in the hull,
Or whisper on the hill;
\ud those w ho from the vessel’s side
Support his ha aier’il bier,
tiv still as fix’d by manhood’s pride
Save to the gushing tear.
But win n they hear their heavy tread
Knell through his empty hall,
Aml see the image of the dead
Gleam from the dusky wall,
They y Sold tin in-elves to their despair,
And round his coffin'd clay
Lament timid, that worth so rare,
So soon should pass sway.
BERTRAM.

A VISION.
! have been haunt and by an awful dream—
\ vision of my childhood—one that grew
l rum an o’rrlu ated fancy, nursed to fear
In a dark, visionary creed. A Star,
• >f a malign aspi ct, had been to mi,
for a few weeks of dread uncertainty,
The prophet of evil ;.and 1 saw in it
The minister of judgments, such as oft
1 lad been dcnouiired before me, amt had grown
To an uniloubting Ibith.
iVb thought that Star
As in a vision of the night 1 lay,
Stood with its train directed to the Earth
And every moment it did spread itself,
And grew a deeper crimson. Where I was
I could nut tell; but I stood gazing on it
H ith unuverteil eye ; and I could watch it
Taking ten thousand fiery shapes, und chang
ing
'I o every terrible hue and form, and still
W idening and v. id- uitig out its burning orb,
Till a whole ipiarter of the heavens was red
And glow ing like a furnace. Then, nu thought,
A form stood visible within it, vast
And indistinct, as a far mountain, seen,
Through a dense vapour, wh( ii,tiie morning
strikes it,
And makes it such a thing as the mind frames,
" hen it goes wandering through the infinite,
And builds on dreams. 1 gazed upon it,
charmed
And fuscin >t< and by its terrible glory.
And w ith it such a sense of fear, —the drops
Btood thick iijidn my forehead, and my heart
AA as near to bursting. ’Twtis an agony
(>f wonder and of death ; for 1 beheld
Already come the day of doom, i.nd Earth
Sei tiled parched and burned by the intensity
t'f that approaching (lame. The sky above
Was like a vaulted furnace, and it quivered
And sparkled ill the heat, and at the centre,
Transparent in the fii reentss of its fire,
Still that illimitable form did frown
Blacker than tenfold night. Ilis quick ap
proach
Left me no time to scan him, blit be seemed
To gather in himself all 1 had heard
Or dreamed of horrible. A muttering sound,
Like that of far-off Winds, or smothered llame
Roaring in caves, —a sound that fell like fate
* >n my stunned ear, came as a warning voice,
That E irth was now wit bin the w asting sphere
Os that consuming plague. At once a w ind
Seemed to blow over lno, with hot, thick
breath,
Wafting such clouds of .-moke and sheets of
fire,
That all around me scene and one conflagration ;
And even the firm foundations of the hills
('racked and fell inward ; and one long, long
peal
Gave warning, that this ponderous globe was
n nt
And shivered, suddenly a burst of flame,
So clear ami strong, no thought can image it,
billed the whole visible space; and still it
flashed,
And flashed, til! in an instant utter darkness
Closed heavily around me, and 1 w oke ;
1 woke, and yet the horrors of that dream
W ould visit me at times, even when I grew
To know its causes, and could reason of it;
And though the mind moved in its own pure
light,
And stood aloof from fear, yet there were
moments
\\ hin the doil; memory of this dream would
quell me
AA oil nigh to trembling. I’.
AA'e take the follow ing epigram from a most
entertaining work, railed Westminster Hall.
It touches off to the life the particular merits
of four gentlemen of the long robe.
Mr. Leech
Made a speech
Impressive, clear and strong ;
Mr. Hart
On the other part
AA us tedious, dull and long.
Mr. Parker
Made that darker
W liioh was dark enough without;
Mr. Bell
Spoke so well
That the Chancellor said “ I doubt!”

MARACAIIK >.
A witty and sarcastic correspond
ent ol the New Orleans Gazett ,
gives us the following picture of the
Governor of Maracaibo—he is borne
out in his statement by that intelli
gent and observant traveller, Capt.
Hall, of the Briti-h navy ;
“ Upon our arrival we were com
pelled to make our appearance be
fore the Governor, whom we found
swinging himself in a hammock,
smoking a segar. The appearance
of the interior of the house when
contrasted with the residences ol the
Governors of other places, would
rather, from the supercilious, force a
smile ; an old table, a few chairs,
and a hammock, constituted the
whole inventory of its furniture.—
1 1 irv Excellency was taking his ease
in his hammock, surrounded by some
half dozen children perfectly naked,
j as many geese, chickens, pigs, goats,
j dogs and cats; the whole forming a
! most admirable tout ensemble. We
j were informed, that, its there were
no taverns in the place, we could ob
tain lodgings that night tit the house
of the guard major, who is chief also
of the custom house. 1 followed his
direction and had hut little reason to
complain of want of hospitality.—
Having passed Ihe night tormented
with niustpiitos, mice, and other ver
min, we took leave of our host, af
ter the customary presents, and has
tened on board our vessel.”
The following is his description of
the town:—
“ Maracaibo is situated in lat 10
deg. 13 minutes north, long. 71 deg.
17 minutes west. It is about one
fourth of a mile long, and in some
places of the same breadth. The
si rivets are irregular and without
pavement; and the houses arc most
ly built on thC/Same scale, one sto
ry high, with a pointed roof and
whitewashed. There is not a single
glass window in the place, which
gives the houses more the appear
ance of prisons titan any thing else.
Their interior is in perfect accord
ance with their exterior Upon en
tering them. you are introduced into
a large room, more resembling a sta
ble than any thing else; the floor is
generally of earth, but in some in
tanccs bricks tire substituted ; they
have no ceiling, and the roof is peo
pled with a flourishing colony of spi
ders, scorpions and newts, who live
in undisturbed harmony together.—
The furniture is the same generally
its we have described in the Gover
nor's mansion at the fort Nothing
but the most imperious necessity
will induce these people to labour;
the greatest part of their life is spent
in the most listle s indolence, swing
ing in their hammocks.”

MATHEMATICAL DIARI;
(CONTAINING new researches
J and improvements in Mathema
tics : with collections of questions,
proposed end resolved by ingenious
Correspondents ; in quarterly num
bers : conducted by R. ADRIAN,
LL. I). F. A. P. S. F. A. A. S. &c.
and professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Columbia Col
lege, New-York.
Published by James Rvan, at th-
Classical and Mathematical Book
store, 322 Broadway, New-York.
The principal object of this little
work is to excite the genius and in
dustry of those w ho hav e a taste lor
mathematical studies, by affording
jhem an opportunity of laying their
speculations before the public, in an
advantageous manner; and thus to
spread the knowledge of mathema
tics in a way that is both effectual
and agreeable. It is well known to
mathematicians, that nothing contri
butes more to the developement oi
mathematical genius, than the efiorts
made by the students, to discover
the solution of new and interesting
questions ; and accordingly we find
that many attempts have been made
to apply this fact in such a manner
as to render it most beneficial to so
ciety.
With this view, many periodical
works, embracing mathematical in
quiries, have been published in Great
Britain ; as, The Ladies’ Diary, The
Gentlemens Diary, The Mathema
tical Companion, i)r. Hutton’s Mis
cellanea Curiosa. Leybourn’s Mathe
matical Repository, &c.
These publications have had great
influence on the state of mathemati
cal science in that country ; and, ac
cording to t lie opinion? of some per
sons well acquainted with the sub
ject, have advanced the knowledge
of mathematics more rapidly and ex
tensively than many o'ther works ot
greater magnitude. Indeed, there I.
scarcely any thing that can give a
better view of the very general dif
fusion of mathematical knowledge in
Great Britain, than an examination
ol' the works which we have just
mentioned.
The English Ladies’ Diary, which
is published annually, was begun in
1701, and has continued till the pre
sent time. Among its successive
conductors, were the eminent matin -
maticiaiss, Simpson and Dr. Hutton
and in the list of its contributors are
enrolled the names of many of tln
best mathematicians that England
has ever produced ; it is sufficient to
mention Emerson, Simpson, Landett,
Lawson, Vince, Hutton, Dalby, Ma
jor Henry Watson, Wales, and
Madge. It contains a great num
ber ot useful and interesting prob
lems in all the branches of mathe
matics.
Leybourn’s Repository is a work
of great merit, Many of its prob
lems, solutions, and researches, are
learned and ingenious. It is sup
ported by the labours of the first
mathematicians in England, as Bar
low, Ivory, Professor Wallace of Ed
inburgh, and many others of distin
guished abilities.
Similar works have been long in
use among the mathematicians of
Ireland. The Ladies’ Diary and the
Belfast Almanac are publications of
considerable utility in extending the
knowledge of mathematical science
The latter is under the direction of
Professor Thompson, of the Belfast
Institution, a gentleman extremely
well qualified for the work by bis
talents and impartiality.
In this country, also,several similar
works have appeared, and have been
productive of some advantages in
improving, as well as in disseminat
ing, the science of mathematics , but
their usefulness has been limited to
various causes, which, it is hoped,
will not operate on the present un
dertaking. These works, as they
successively appeared, were, The
Mathematical Correspondent, con
ducted by the late ingenious Mr.
George Baron ; The Analyst, by the
Editor of the present work ; The
Scientific Journal, by Mr. Marrat ;
and the Philosophic Magazine, or
Gentleman’s Diary, by Mr, Nash.
Among the contributors to these
publications, were several ingenious
and learned mathematicians; as
Gummere, the author of two good
elementary treatises, the one on sur
veying, the other on astronomy ; the
very ingenious and much lamented
professor Fisher ; and the profound
mathematician, Dr. Bowditch.
lit the present work, which will be
published in quarterly numbers, con
tributors of new discoveries or im
provements in mathematics, or of
new problems and solutions, shall
l ave their communications publish
ed with accuracy, and ascribed to
their respective authors.
A prize question will be proposed
in each number of the work, and the
choice of the question will depend
on its elegance, curiosity, or utility,
in improving or extending science.
For the best solution, a prize will lie
given of ten copies of the number
containing the solution ; and that
number will be designated by the
name of the person who obtains the
prize.
N. B. Specimens of this work may
be seen at the Book Store of A. M
Hobby, Milledgeville, where those
desirous to have the Work, can
have their Subscriptions.
