THE GRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD.
Thf.t grew in beauty, side by side,
They till'd one house with glee—
Their graves are sever’d far and w ide,
By mount, and stream, and sea !
The same fond mother bent at night
O'er tv,rb fair sleeping brow,
She had each folded flower in signt—
't here are those dreamers now I
One midst the forests of the west
By a dark stream is laid ;
The Indian knows his place of rest,
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the nine lone, sea, hath one,
He lies where pearls lie deep ;
lie was the loved of all, yet none
O’er his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines arc dress'd
Above the noble slain,
lie wrapt his colours round his brcaßt,
On a blood-red field of Spain.
'mlone—o’er HF.rt llie myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds lann’d,
She faded ’midst Italian flowers,
'1 he last of that bright band.
And parted thus tuf.t rest who play’d
lt( neath the sum • green tree,
\\ hose voices mingled as they pray’d
Around one parent knee !
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheer’d with song the hearth —
Vlas, fur love, if tiiou wort all,
And nought k vond, on earth !

.Variative of the Loss of the Kent.
Our readers are aware that the
Sln(> Kent sailed from England, and
was carrying to India not only her
own cargo and crew, consisting ol
one hundred and forty-eight men,
hut had on hoard a very considera
ble part of the 31st Regiment, viz
ttv-nty officers, three hundred nil
forty-four soldiers,forty-three women
and sixty-six children, together with
twenty private passengers, when she
was discovered to be on lire in (he
Bay of Biscay, on tiic Ist of March ;
that she ulf iinatoly blew up and sank ;
the chief part of the individuals on
hoard having been previously res
ell and by the timely arrival of the]
< 'auihri i.
< >n the night of M'-nday the -bl!i|
rebruury, when the Kent was in ltd.
17, 3U, long. 10, a violent gale blew 1
from t lie West, and grudua ly in-j
creased during the follow ing morn
ing. The rolling ct the vessel be
came treipcndons about midnight, so
that the best fastened articles of fur
niture in live principal whins w re
da.-hed about with vi<'-r.< •*, and he i
main chains were thrown .it every
urch consider fly under w. ■ r.
it was a Jitl l before tin period
that one of the officers of the Ship,
v ith the wcll-ineant ird isL n ol as
certaining that oil was last below, de
scended with two of the • ailors into
the hold, where they carried with
them, for safety, a light in the patent
lantern; and seeing that the lamp
burned dimly, the otliccr took the
precaution to hand it up to the orlop
deck to be trimmed. Having after
wards discovered one of toe spirit
casks to he adrift, lie sent the sailors
for some billets of wood to secure
it ; but the ship in their ab ence hav
ing made a heavy lurch, the officer
unfortunately dropped the light ; and
letting go ins hold oi the cask in his
eagerness to recover the Lantern it,
suddenly sieve, and the spirits com
municating iih the lamp, th ■ whole
place was insi ntly in a blaze.
As long as the devouring element
qipeared t he npnfined to the spot
where tho 1.1 < ; .gtnated, t L; ii
we were assured was surrounded on
all sides by water casks, wc ventured
to cherish hopes that it might be
subdued; but no sooner was the
light blue vapour tl. it at first aros*
succeeded by volumes ot'thick dingy
moke, which speedily ascending
through all the four hatchways, rolled
over every part of the Ship, than all
further concealment became impos-
Mb! . and almost all hope of preserv
ing the vessel was abandoned. ‘ The
(lames have reached the cable tier,”
was exclaimed bv some individuals,
and the strong pitchy smell that per
vaded the deck, confirmed the truth
of the exclamation.
In these awful circumstances,
Cobb, with an ability and de
cision of character that seemed to
increase with the imminence of the
danger, resorted to the only alterna
tive now left him, of ordering the
lower decks to be scuttled, tiie com
bings of the hatches to be cut, and
the lower ports to be opened, for the
free admission ot the waves,
These instructions were speedily
executed by the united etforts of the
troops and seamen; hut not before
so ; e of th< sick soldiers, one woman
and several children unable to gain
the upper deck had perished. On
descending to the gun deck with
Col. Fearcm, Capt. Bray, and one or
lw • other officers ot the 31st It gi
nui t, to assist in opening the ports,
I met, staggering towards the hatch
way, in an exhausted and nearly
senseless state, one of the mates,
who informed us that he had just
stumbled over the dead bodies of
some individuals who must have
vied from suffocation, to which it was
evident that he himself had almost
fallen a victim. So dense and op
pressive was the smoke, that it was
with the utmost difficulty wc could
renr-.in long enough below to fulfil
Capt. Cobb’s wishes; which were
no sootier acc mplishtd than the .* -a
rushed in with extraordinary force,
carrying away in its resistless pro
gress to the hold, the largest chests,
bulk heads, &c.
Such a sight, under any other c r
siderable circumstances, was well
calculated to have filled us with hor
ror ; but in our natural solicitude to
avoid the more immediate peril < I
explosion, we endeavored to eh or
each other, as we stood up to our
knees iu water, with a faint hope
that by these violent means wc
might be speedily restored to safety.
The immense quantity of water that
was thus introduced into the hold,
had indeed the effect, for a time, of
checking the fury of the Humes; but
tiic danger of sinking having increas
ed as the risk of explosion was di
minished, the Ship became watcr
loggcd, and presented other indica
tions of settling, previous to her
going down.
On the one hand stood death by
tire, on the other death by water;
the dilemma was dreadful. Prefer
ing always the more remote alterna
tive, the unfortunate crew were at
one moment attempting to check
the fire by means of water; and
when the water became the most
threatening enemy, their efforts were
turned to the exclusion of the wavee,
and the fire was permitted to rage
with all its fury.
The scene of horror that notv pr -
seated itself, baffles all description.
Thcn'rosc from sea ta sky the wild fare
well ;
Then shriek’d the timid, and stoo- ! .-'ill the
brave.
The upper deck was covered with
between six and seven hundred hu
man beings, many of whom, from
previous sea-sickness, were forced
on the first alarm to leo from below
in a state of absolute nakedness, and
were now running about in quest of
husbands,children, Cfparents. While
some were standing in silent resig
nation, or in stupid insensibility to
their impending fate, others were
t mlding themselves up to the most
frantic despair. Some on their knees
were earm-tly imploring, with sig
nificant gesticulations and in noisy
[supplications, the mercy of Him,
;whose arm they exclaimed, was at
length Qutr-retchcd to smite them;
others were to bes en hastily cross
ing themselves, and performing th
various exteral acts required liy their
p cu'ir persuasion, while a number
of the older and more stout-hearted
soldiers and sailor sullenly took their
seats directly over the rnagaziuo,
hoping, as they stated, that by means
ol the explosion, which they every
instant expected, a speedier termi
nation might thereby be put to their
sufferings.*
Several of the soldiers’ w ives and
children, w ho had lied for temporary
shelter into (lie after-cabins on (he
upper deck, were engaged in prayer
and in reading the scriptures with
the ladies, some ot’ whom were ena
bled, with wonderful self-possession,
to offer to others those spiritual con
sol it ions, which a firm and intclli
gent trust in the Redeemer of the
world appeared at this awful hour
to impart to their own b • asts. The
dignified deportment of two young
ladies in particular, formed a speci
men of natural strength of mind,
finely modified by Christian feeling,
that failed not to attract the notice
and admiration of every one who had
an opportunity of witnessing it. On
the melancholy announcement being
made to them that all hope must be
relinquished, and that death was ra
!>• llv and mew ; ah'y a a chin/.
one of the ladies above refered to,,
calmly sinking down on her kn cs.
and clasping her hands together,
said, “ even so come, Lord Jesus,”
and immediately proposing to read a
portion of the Scriptures to those
around her; her sister, with nearly
equal composure and collectedness
oi mind, selected the 46th itml other
appropriate Psalms, which were ac
cordingly read, with intervals of
prayer, by those ladies alternately to
the assembled females.
One young gentleman, of whose
promising talents and piety, I dare
not now make farther mention, hav
ing calmly asked me mv opinion res
pecting the state of the ship, 1 told !
him that 1 thought we should be pre
pared that night to sleep in eternity;
and I shall never forget the peculiar
fervor with which he replied, as he
pressed my hand in his, “my heart
is filled w ith the peace of God ;” add
ing, “ yet though 1 know it is fool
ish, I dread exceedingly the last
struggle.”
Amongst the numerous objects
that struck my observation at this
period, 1 was much affected with the
appearance and conduct of some oi
the dear children, who, quite uncon
scious in the cuddy cabins, of the
perils which surrounded them, con
tinued to play its usual with their lit
tle toys in bed, and to put the most
innocent and unseasonable questions
to those around them. To some of
me other children, who seemed fully
alive to the reality ofthe danger, I
whispered, now L the time to put in
practice the instructions you asked
to reci ivc at the Regimental School,
and to think of that Saviour of w hom
* CapLiin Cobb, with great forethought,
ordered the deck to be scuttled forward, w ith
i view to draw the fire in that direction,
knowing that between it and the magazine
were several tiers of water casks ; while he
hoped ihai the wt t sails, &c. thro vn into the
uftir-hold, would prevent it from comm ni
eatifig with the spirit-room abaft.
GEORGIA STATESMAN.
you have heard so much ; they re
plied, as the teats ran down their
cheeks, “ O Sir, we are trying to re
member them, and we arc praying to
God.”
All hope bad departed! the eui
ploymc-nt of the different individuals
indicated utter despair of rescue —
one was removing a lock of hair from
his writing desk to his bosom —ano-
ther was searching tor paper to ad
dress a hurried scrawl to his father,
which he intended to inclose in a bot
tle—others were awaiting their fate
in stupor —some with manly forti
tude—others bewailing it with loud
and hitter lamentation —and part
were" occupied in prayer and mutual
encouragement.
It was at this appalling instant,
when “ all hope that we should be
saved was taken away,” and when
tJ jo letter reicred to was about being
committed to the waves, that it oc
ean and to Mr. Thomson, the fourth
mate, to s nd a man to the forc-top,
rather with the ardent wish than the
expectation that some friendly sail
might be discovered on the face of
the waters. The sailor, on mount
ing, threw his eyes round (he hori
zon for a moment, —a moment of un
utterable suspense,—and waving bis
hat, exclaimed, “ t ..ail on the lee
how !” The joytui announcement
was received with deep-felt thanks
givings, and with three cheers upon
deck. Our flags of distress were in
stantly hoisted, and our minute guns
fired ; and we endeavoured to boar
<1 .vn under our three top-sails and
fore-sail upon the stranger, which
afterwards proved to be the Cam
bria, a small brig of -00 tons burden
—Cook —bound In Vera Cruz, hav
ing on board t- only or thirty Cor
nish miners, and other agents of the
Anglo Mexican Company.
Up to this moment the hi-tory is
sad and painful—had it been nothing
more, probably neither the book nor
this account of it would have be n
written.
The agony which wrings the hu
man frame and tortures the human
imagination at the visible approach
of death, may he an instructive ob
ject of contemplation, but it is not
one which we should choose for ex
hibition. The subsequent scenes ot
this catastrophe, on the contrary,
present no ideas but such as are
most honorable to human nature f
craily, and to our countrymen in par
ticular, and afford the brightest and
most precious examples of noble
hearing and true gallantly in a sea
son of the most severe trial. Let
those who talk of the age of chit ai
ry being gone, read this narrative,
and they will learn to despise the
romantic cant which refers all that
is great and good to (no periods of
darkness and barbarism; of all the
instances recorded of magnanimity
and generosity, wo know of none
more consolatory to a lover arid ad
mirer of his race, than tiro whole con
duct of the officers and men as it is
here described. Others may glory
in descriptions of splendid passages
of arms, but no military ardour or
chivalrous xploit can convey such
deep satisfaction to the well-regula
ted mind, as does the glorious con
test of courage and nobleness dis
played in the history of this ship
wreck.
For some time the Kent was not
uDscrvcd by the stranger ; the roar
ing ofthe sea drowned the report of
their distress guns ; but at length
the ascending volumes of smoke at
tracted the attention of the brig, and
announced the nature of her situa
..... ted Brit is u col
or-, and crowded all s«ii *o ii;, ..A.
of the ship on fire.
Although it was impossible, and
would have been improper to repress
the rising hopes that were pretty gen
erally diffused amongst us by the un
expected sight of the Cambria, yet
I confess, that when I teffected on
the long period our ship had been
already burning—on the tremendous
sea that was running—on the extreme
smallness of the brig, and the im
mense number of human beings to
be saved, —1 could only venture to
hope that a few might be spared ;
but I durst not for a moment con
template the possibility of my own
preservation.

The lights and shades of Matrimo
ny.—A middle aged daughter of Mi
hernia, a few days since entered the
police office snivelling and sighing,
to complain of her baste of her hus
band. who, in her own words, Ilk!
“ well nigh kilt and mutkered me
yer honor, and .bate me up and down
yer honor, and if I had not ran away,
mayhap I would not b ■ here to tel
yer honor anent it at all, at all.” So
a warrant was granted. But oh ! how
little does a woman know her own
heart when she plots schemes cf re
venge ! for scarcely had the injured
Judy put her marl: ta the affidavy,
than returning love awakened re
morse in her tender bosom, and away
she scampered home; outstripped
the panting constable, and exclaim
ed to licr husband, “ Hide! hide,
honey, the constable is after you. and
och, jewel, he'll pit juu intil tbe
Bridewell if he oncet git*, bold bn
you, bad luck to him !” She carried
the sudden change in her feelings fco
far as to secrete her forgiven Inls
baud, md keep him from the officer.
This morning she came into the
i 'dice looking very doleful, and -*id
they had made up the matter, and
that her husband was going to Phila
delphia Another proof ot’ the paci
fication came out, when the officer
demanded the fees for the process;
for she said she had given most ot
her money to her jewel of a husband
to bear his expenses, and had not
enough to pay the fees : and the of
ficer g'lad to be rid of her, let her off
with an admonition not to bring ■ v
more complaints of her husband,
which she faithfully promised never
to do again.
l'rulay Morning, Feb 3.—A Pat,
by his dialect supposed tobe a native
of the county Tipperary, sailed into
the Police Office this morning, on a
pair of twaddling sea legs, which
would have told the character oi the
person, if a huge quid stowed be
twixt his teeth and under-lq ;nd 1”

He asked tor a warrant for anew ot
fence, which at first puzz. i the ni -
gistrate not a little. The ime w>.
“ Bloodshed and Battery.” The offi
cer asked where iie came from, and
was not much pleased with Lis an
swer ; as he observed that it was a
nest of rogues, which Pat said he
Knew very well. He was asked if
ire knew how much a warrant would
cost. Fat. To be sure I don't. Offi
cer. You must pay us 6s. and Go. for
. . Far. That’s nothing. (officer.
Well, out with your money. Fat.
To be sure I can, only give me the
satisfaction first. Officer. But 1 must
be sure of payment. Out with your
cash. Fat. Out with your warrant
first. This conversation vexed our
irishman considerably ; he, liotvev r,
brought forward a well lined pouch,
aim iiandcd over the money, observ
ing, that lie did not come there to be
a laughing shock, but for satisfaction.
But a serious deficiency occurred in
bis depositio ; he bad either forgot
ten or never knew the name of the
man against whom he was complain
ing. It was either O’Donohue, or
O’Dobertv, or O’Donnel, hut winch
ho could not toll. “ Botheration on
the name” said he, “ put it down
what you like, sure its all one if you
cotch the man, what the shape of his
name is.” This did not look so clear
to the magistrate, and Pat, with a
discontented shrug, was l'e ced to
pocket his six and sixpence, and
sheer off.
The labors on the Chesapeake and
