:-~r I'ROM TIIE P.OCKINGIIAM GAZETTE. I love tfic memory of iliat hour When first iu youth ! found thee ; Tor infant beauty gently threw A morning freshness round thee ; A single star was rising there, With rnild and lovely motion; And scarce the Zephyr’s gentle breath, Went o’er the sleeping ocean. I love the memor- of triat hour—* If wakes a pensive feeling ; As when within the winding shell, The plavful winds are stealing. It tells inv heart of those bright years, Ere hope went down in sorrow, When all the jovs of yesterday Where painted on fenuorrow. Where ait thou now? thv once lov’d flowers Their yellow leaves are twining; And lnight and beautiful again That single staj is shining. But where art thou ? the bended glass A dewy stone discloses; And love’s light footsteps print the ground, Where all mv peace reposes. Farewell 1 mv fears were not for thee, ’Twere weakness to deplore thee ; Or vainly mourn thine absence here, While angels half adore thee. Thy days were few, and quickly told , Thy short and mournful story TJath ended like the morning star, That melts in deeper glory. Proai the seconil edition of 11 Death s Doings. THE GAMESTER.

An extraordinary sensation was cre ated on Thursday evening in the neigh borhood of the Regent Park, by the sud den appearance of Gurney’s newly inven ted steam carriage,or self-moving machine which coursed rouud part of the new road, up the ascent of the Albany road, at the i rate of ten miles an hour, carrying sever- j al persons inside and behind. It seemed | to mote with the most perfect case, and, j without any appearance of smoke what- i ever. The conductuer evidently held the carriage under complete command ; and whenever the crowd which gathered about it became troublesome,shooting away from them with speed equal to that of a mail coach.—London Observer. Twilight.—‘The Sun had already sunk behind the mountains, whose undulating forms were thrown into dark shadow a- gairist ihe crimson sky. The thin cres cent of the new moon floated over the eastern hills, whose deep woods glowed with the rosy glories of twilight. Over the peak of a purple mountain, glittered Me solitary star of evening. As the sun drooped, universal silence seemed to per vade the wli de face of Nature. Tiie voice of the birds was still; the breeze which had refreshed them during the day died away, as if its office were now com pleted: and none of the dark sounds and sights of night yet dared to triumph over | jecls of his Majesty, the death of day. Unseen were the cir cling wings of the fell bat; unbeared tho screech of the waking owl; silent the drowsv hum of the shade-born beetle ! VVliaf heart has not acknowledged the in fluence of this hour—the sweet and soothing hour of twilight!—the hour of love, the hour of adoration, the hour of rest!—when we think of those we love, only to regret that we have not loved more dearly: when we remember our en emies only to forgive them !” * Ogdensbubg, N. Y. June 26. Novel Emigration.—The unprecedent ed increase of Red Squirrels on the bor ders of the river in this vicinity, and their unseemly location in almost every wood yard in this village, within a few weeks, have excited no little curiosity. The mys tery, Imw -ver, has within a few days been fully disclosed ; and it is now ascertained from occulardemonstration, that these an imals,from having become dissatisfied with tiie present administration of tlie Govern ment of His Majesty’s colony ot Upper Canada— he hopeless prospect ol their ever attaining the privileges of citizenship under he recent ’.lien law of that Prov ince, or from some other cause—are dai ly crossing tin* river St. Lawrence by tens, fifties, and hundreds, and fixing their hab itations in every vacant nook and corner within our own territory. We tire inform ed they may be seen landing, a short dis tance above and below this village, almost every hour in the day ; and the woods, as we have ourselves observed, along the banks of the river, art; literally rlim> qed with these quiet and heretofore loyal sub- TCRP1N DANTIGNAC, AGENTS. Have just received a fresh supply of the celebrated Swainrs Panacea. From the Philadelphia Palladium Yesterday, about five minutes before 3 o’clock, P. M. there was a great sensation created in Chesmit st. by the appearance on that fashionable promenade, of a charming little girl, with a most graceful form, but wearing a hat which beggers description. It was not the color of the silk, nor the gaiety or quantity of the rib bons which decked it, nor the beauty of the face it shaded, which attracted the at lention and fixed the wondering eyes of the crowd, but the size and sweep of the hat, which were beyond any .thing we ev er saw, or ever read of in those fruitful sources of the romantic, ihe eastern (not yankee) tales. It could not have been less than six feet around ihe “rim.” Every body stopped to look at it, some put on spectacles, others drew out their glasses, and not a few ejaculated “prodigious!” others appeared to be infected with the same eager wish to “ touch k,” which seiz ed die inhabitants ofStrasburg, when the “stranger with the nose” made his ap pearance in 1 iieir city. Altogether it was an extraordinary sight, and will be record ed in our mem rv as the “Hat Scene.” [From the Wilmington, N. C. Recorder] A letter from Madrid,dated January 1st. 1S27, and placed in our hands bv ihe per son to whom it is addressed, gives the fol lowing agreeable intelligence of this gen tleman : “ Our distinguished countryman Wash- i.vgton Irving, is at present in this place. He came here for the purpose of trans lating some documents relating to Colum bus, but finding them not likely to pay the trouble, he has given up the intention, and commenced an original work, now nearly finished ; and which will be read with deep interest in the United States,” For the cure ol Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Ulcers, Rheumatism, Syphilitic, Mercurial and Livei Complaints, and most Diseases arising in de bilitated constitutions, or fromau impure state of the Blood, i*tc. 4tc. T HIS Medicine lias acquired a very extend ed and established celebrity both in Hos pital and Private practice, which its efficacy alone lias supported for these seven years past. As a spring or fall purifier it has given new constitutions to thousands, it is by its operation on the Blood that such surprising cures have been performed in numerous diseases. The effect of this medicine is such as not to in terrupt either business or pleasure, and requires only the common restraint of moderation in diet. It is conveyed by the circulating fluids, and cor rects their tendencies to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de praved appetite, it is a safe medicine, and re moves those evils which an unsuccessful use of mercury so often occasions. No one, how ever is advised to take it without first fully con vincing himself of the truth of what is here stated and the r-ctitude of the Proprietor’s intentions. PROPOSALS BY P. PRICE. JR.

T lie well-known musician Ferdinand Bertoni, at Venice, took to petting a pid- geon, one among the few quadrupeds that can live there. This creature, bv keep ing his master company, obtained so per fect an ear and taste for music that no one can doubt for a moment of the pleasure lie look in hearing Mr. Bertoni play and sing, for as soon as he sat down at (iie in strument, Columbo begins shaking his wings, pore lied th id expresses the most indubitable emotions of delight. If, however, he or any one else strike a note false, or make any kind of discord upon the keys, the dove never fails to show evident tokens of anger and distress ; and if teased too long grows quite enraged ; pecking the offenders leg and fingers in such a manner as to leave nothing less doubtful than the sincerity of his resentment. Bertoni declared he nev er knew the bird’s judgement fail ; and that lie often kept him out of the room, for fear of his affronting or tormenting those who came to take musical instruct- teiy iii New York, interesting infor- j tinns,* With regard to other actions of —SO©— Celebration at Pautuckei.—The Anni versary of our Independence was cele brated by a military and civic procession. Among the noveliies exhibited,-was a Throstle and Loom, in full operation— The carriage on which ihe machinery rest ed, was drawn by six beautiful white hors es, of the finest order of that noble aui- mal. To the wheel was attached a spur cog wheel, which gave motion to a spur pinion on the end of a horizontal shaft which extended across the carriage, w hich drove the machinery by ihe aid of pulleys, and belts passing over pulleys attached to the main siiatr of the machinery. - The Throstle and Loom were surmounted by a pendant bearing the names ot Henry Clay, Hezekiaii Niles, and Matthew Carey, under which was the motto. “ Encourage Nationnal Industry” “Un der this xcc prosper.". m u ion was received icspecting ihe pres ent pacha of Egypt. From his' account, it appears that the Pacha, in addition to being a'cotton grower on a large scale, carries mi business as a manufacturer to a great extent. He has at present in Alexan- j.it i . and the neighborhood not less than 18,000 weavers engaged in the manufac ture of neks' and other kinds of coarse cotimi goods. They are natives of the country, and are in an equally degraded condition as the rest of their countrymen. They weave the goods in houses belong ing to the Pacha, and are tasked to the production of a certain quantity of cloth daily. As a iecompense they receive sub sistence, clothing, and lodging, bui nothing in eve. For the sale ol his goods the Pa cha has agents in several towns in Sicily, and at Leghorn and Florence, to which places they are sent, and from whence they find their way over the greater part of the Continent. For the purposes of this trade he had lUtely a vessel built at Leghorn, which is satd to have cost up ward of 130,000 dollars. N. 3 . J/cr. Adv. Salisrury, (N. C.) June 26. Cherokee Lands.—Generals Geo. Lee ‘Davidson, and Alex. Gray, who, in con junction with Gen. John Cock, of Ten nessee, have been appointed by the Uni ted States Government to hold a treaty with the Cherokee Indians, in order to effect a purchase from them of their re maining lauds in this State, and so much in Tennessee as will be necessary to ena ble that State to cut a canal between the | Hiwassee bc-Conasauga rivers, met in this I town last week, and held a consultation i on the subject of their official duties, the ! result of which is, that they have fixed i upon the 15th day of August next, on which to meet Gen. Cocke, in the nation, ; and hold a pre.iminary conference with i the Indians, to ascertain their disposition i on the subject of a cession of their land.— j Should the Indians be disposed to sell, the j Commissioners will wait further instruc- i tions from the Secretary of War, and then ! proceed to a discussion of the terms of tiie proposed treaty; but should they be a- verse to parting with their lauds on any conditions, (and we have our fears on this point) the Commissioners can only make their report accordingly to the War De partment, and return home.

The following beautiful extract is fronj Biddle’s euiogiuni on Jefferson : “There lies on the depths of everj heart, that dream of our you h, and thi chastened wish of manhood, which ueithej cares nor honours can never extinguisi the hope of any one day resting from thd pursuits which absord us; of interposing between old age and the tomb, some trani quil interval reflection, of when with feelf ings not subdued but softened, with pas* sions not exhausted but mellowed, we raaj look Vainly on the past without regret, am on the future without apprehension. Bu in the tumult of the world, this vision fo ever recedes as we approach it; the pas sions which have agitated our life disturb our latest hour; and we go down to the tomb, like'the sun into the ocean, with no gentle and gradual withdrawing of the light of life back to the source which gave it, but, sullen in its beamless descent, with all its fiery glow, long after it has lost its power and its splendour.” * —e©©- “ Felons on the finger may be effectu ally cured, it'is said, in three hours, with a poultice, of the size of a small bean, made of quick lime, slacked with soap, bound on the spot, and renewed even- half hour.” We can add our own experience in con firmation of the statement of the curative properties of this prescription. We once had occasion to test its efficacy. The writer mentions that it is necessary to re tain the poultice on the affected part for the term of three hours. This is not the fact; an application of three quarters of an hour, will effectually break up the most inveterare felon, besides human for titude could not endure the pain occasion ed by its application for a longer time. The sufferiug is intense—almost intoller- able.—Middletbwn Gazette. This MHicine has the singular fortune, a just tribute to its great merit, of being recommended by the most celebrated Practitioners of Medicine in the United States and elsewhere, whereas not one of the spurious mixtures made in imitation of it is supported by the Faculty. This fact of fers an argument so plain and conclusive, that it needs only to be mentioned to enforce convic tion. From Dr. Wm. Price, formerly Surgeon of the Pennsylvania Hospital, k.c. Liverpool, (eng.) Sept. 1823. The Vegetable Syrup, called Swairu’s Pana cea, prepared by Mr Svvaim, of Philadelphia, has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price, from the United States of America, where it is now extensively used in the treatment of a varie ty of Chronic Diseases. Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr-Price has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence, during a course of experiments made under his direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad ditional instances of its successful administration. The diseases in which this Medicine has been patticularly useful, are those arising from con stitutional causes—as in the various forms of Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or soft parts ; and in cases, where a disposition to this disease is manifested by debility only, it operates as a preventive to the local disease by its beneficial effects on the constitution. It is equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately been gi'-en with marked success in chronic dis eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful exhibition of mercury It lias, likewise, very re cently been administered with decided advant age by Olio of th" Sorccmrs til London, in a case which had entirely destroyed the right eye of the patient, and a great portion of the side of the face.
