We bnde adieu, when the fair wind blew,
Anti tears were falling free;
For tranquil seas, and a hnfheward brecs-i,
How bi ight our eyes will be !
Kind gales prevail, and spread the sail,
Swift o’er the azure mnin;
With a swifter wing, may ye safely bring
Her homeward buck again.
The honed tar, who sails afar*
Will think when on the sea,
That winds ahead, which otiiers dread,
Will waft his sighs to tue
But a heart more true, he never knew,
Which leels those sighs alone—
When the fair wind blows, &. the proud ship go£s
I’ll send him back my own.
From his sen-girt skies, his fancy flies,
His thoughts at home incline;
May the liosoto be, of the heaving sea,
•As safe And true as mine !

Cure for ran Consumption:—A
English chemist of high fame, Mr. John
■Murray, of Hull, F. S. A,, «fcr. has dis
cover'd what he firmly believes to bun
ci re tor mbercular phthisic, or far gone
consumption. His vvofk.oi) iliis subject
Which is dedicated to tho Duke of Wei
-ijogton, contains the result of twelve
yems inquiry, duiing which period his
thoughts have been exclusively bout to
this in bio and philanthropic object, in
the progies* of his investigations, he
came tft the very rational conclusion, and
one which has impressed many othei
minds, that if any remedy should ever he
found out for structural diseases of the
lungs, it must be someone which may be
br ught into immediate contact with the
diseased surface, and when there, have
the pou or of subduing the m o bid action
without diminishing ihe general tone of)
the system. At lengih Mr. Murray be- j
lieves that he has discovered such a re- j
tnedy in the vapor of nitric acid; aud this '
fact is the mote worthy of attention, since,
it came from a source vvheio einpyricism

January 5, 1832. j
We uriived at this purl on the last day
-of December, having left the principal
pari of the provisions fur the Islanders,
at Uottavista. We are now leaded with
salt lur South America,and expect to suit
within nvuur th ee days. At his Island
and at JUoOavistu, there has been loss suf
fering from the protiucied famine, than at
(tie other Islands. From inform -
j ation received from individuals who have
visited, aud prof ;ss to be well acquainted
with the condition of the Islands, the suf.
feting, wetchedufss, aud desolation, has
been beyond the conception «f ihose who
live in the midst of plenty and prosperity.
I ant nut able to state the whole popula
tion of the Islands, front the absence of
! statistical documents ;—but llte estimate
of lire number of death*, from actual star
vation, in all (he Islands, within about a
year, is placed by those best acquainted
u idj the circumstances, at between 30,
000 and 40,000.* The items which go
to in,die op tins amount in the bill of
mortality, are as follows: —In St. Anto
ni**, among a population of 26 000, 11,-
000 have died from starvation alone; in
F<»g», 12,000deaihs from the same cause;
in Bravo, 7,000; in S*. Nicholas, 3,000,
and in Si. Jayo ihe number is cosiderable
although not slated definitively. Cupt.
Hays, of i!u Brig Emma, of Philadelphia
with a full carg** of provisions for the suf
feting -Islanders, asstired mo that the
scene of wretchedness and desolation at
St. Antonio, where he touched long
enough to discharge 500 barrels of pro
visions, was bo ond the power of
longue or pen to describe. The misrable
inliahiiants looked more like moving
skeletons, than living beings,-*-tbeii
was gttne, their muscles seemed dried up,
and they presented the appearance of on- !
iy the naked frames of men, which could
scarcely be kepi together* The dohabi
tarns had despaired nf obtaiuiflg relief
from auy of the ordinary*coßourees.-j qnd,
as no vessel had torched at the Island for
seuertti months, on orcount ol the difficul
ty and danger resulting from tbd luct that
there is no safe ha; bur for vessels, a PL
lot was despatched in a boat with some
mlf a dozen s&c/cLraTveings, to hail the
fust vessel thdft could bo seen, and beg
>f it to stop and sell them something to
keep them alive fur a few days longer:
' when the Emma hove in sight, and was
hailed, and, as soon as possible, the
mournful tale of wretchedness was told,
tod the entreaty pressed to’Stop and sell
them something to cat. Capt. H. re
plied that ho (tad nothing to sell ; but
that his vessel was loaded with provisions
to give sway : and that lie had come for'
ihe express purpose ofaflording relief to
any of the Islanders who needed the gra
tuity. They seemed incredulous at first
but when satisfied ol the fact, they raised
dieir hands in astonishment toward hea
ven, intimating that wo must have been
despatched from tbenco, *en such an ei
t and of mercy. Afiei landing, Capt. 11.
soon found from what ho there saw and
heard, that tho account of their deplora
ble, suffering condition had not been o
verstated. fie dlssdiaiged 500 battels
of provision's, and left them, after receiv
ing everV'demnnstration of gratitude front
ihe sufferers w hicb they were able to
give. They even followed him to tho wu
tei’s edge, and theie, in attempting to
give three cheers will) all the lit le energy
which they possessed tit ty made a noise
which Seemed more like a sepulchral
groan, than fho voice of tho living.
C-ipt. fl was asst)ted that almost eve
ry morning the dying and iho dead could
he seen in almost every direction from
tire door of his informant, and that.but a
short time before, a boy was seen cutting
a pieco of flesh from tho carcase of a fel
low creature, to lengthen oiit his.own mis
erable existence, but was found soon af
ter, dead, with tho piece of fiesh in’his
hand, having crawled only a few paces
from the place vvltotc he obtained it.—
This was represented ns only a specimen
of what may often bo witnessed, in its
substantial features. Bonavista and Mayo
liavo suffered less than the other Islands,
which has prevented us from being eve
wituesses-of such heart-sickening scenes
of wretchrdnes*, ns have been witnessed
Iby others. Capt. H. assured me that he
felt amply coinpeusa'ed for ttll the ex
pense which he Ivtd hicurtcd, in coming
out gratuitously to bo almoner of the char
ity of Americans to th ose disiant and ties
elate Islands, in the consciousness of the
real benefit which had been conferred.
Our own country has only been first bin
alone, in ibis woik of substantial sympa
thy and charity. Not a farthing has been
sent by the people of any oilier uation
as charity ; which speaks volumes in favor
of our citizens. -Even the Portuguese
nation has left those poor croturos to starve
by thousands, when the King derives not
a little of his wealth from their toils and
sufferings.— The Islander- sttppused at
first that the supplies received from our
country had come from the Government of
the U» States—and Then assured that
Government had nothing to do with if,
that it -wrs from the public and private
cortt/ibuiioys of men, women and chil
ditHt,’bs the spontaneous expression of
tlteii own feelings of kindness aud sympa
ihy, as soon ns their suffering condition
was made known; they seemed utterly
at a loss to comprehend how it could be !
Ijhave often heard them say -“Americans
kinder than our own countiy : wo have 2
Kings, hut they no send provisions to
keep us from starving: they fi-ilit one
another to see who shall govern: they
care nothing about us, Tho ruins
have begun to fall id tho Islands : and
vegetation is coming forward rapidly, and
the hope is cherished that something, in
a few months, may bo obtained from the
fruits of the earth, to supply tho wants ol
the pooplo.
P. S-—You judged right in supposing that lit
tle of interest would be found here, relating to
vegetable kinedoni. It is die mo t desolate, bar
ren portion ol’tlie earth- which 1 ever beheld.
There was acarcely any appearance of vegeta
tion on some of the Islands by which we passed,
although on some of them in the interior, it is said
that there are trees. &ic. There is scarcely a tree
on Bouavistd, except those that have been plant
ed—or even on this Island. On some .of die Ist
ands there are fruits of several different kinds, &t
the land is under some degieeof cultivation, but
we have not been .able to visit them.— l Inve ob
tained die seeds of two kind* of frees from Sr.
Antonios—one the Purga, (mm which alt die oil
used on the Island is made, and is an emetic as
well as cathartic—the oilier catted at the Island;
Pina, and Chery Moilla, which produces a fruit
somewhat resembling the pine apple, but entires
ly differed. 1 hope to meet with bejtter sueers
in South America,
* The population of the Cape tie Vertls is sta-
Ted in the Gazette to he about 100,000. It seems
almost incredible that the mortality should have
been,as great ns here stated; .though we must
say that the writer is a gentleman of intelligence,
and not mote likely than others to adopt exagge
rated reports.
Boston, Feb. IS.
Remarkable Suicide, —yesterday
nioii.ing, about 8 o’clock, s*»+hi after the
lad bad opened the store of Messrs. Sam
uel Bradlee and Sou, No. 142, Washing
ton street, he found in ;he first Chamber,
the hi dies of Mr. John 13. Carter, aged
23, and M iss iVlurv Br.td'eo, agod about
19, suspended by a silk handkerchief,
(rein a rope which-.formerly supported a
calp beam. The bodies tve*o cold, their
bunds clasped, aud their faces and lips in
contact. rhey had stood facing each o.
liter' one upon tun. sbopsteps, the oilier
upon a box, placed in a chair.
Mr. Carter and Miss Bradieo were en
gaged to be married to each oilier, with
the approbation ami coirsotu of dioir sev
eral parents. During the autumn of
1831. Mr. C. who had long kept in the
store of Mr. Bradlee, went to New Or
leans, to do business them, and Mr. B.
having iho misfortune to lose his soy., bis
junior partner wrote Mr. Carter, os his
future son-in-law, that if his jirospects
were not very good, lie would like to
liavediim return tu Boston, assist him iu
Iris Business. Mr. G. returned last aut
umn, and entered in the stoto of Mr. B.
accordingly.; During the presdent winter,
Mr. B radiee proposed to sell out his stock I
to Mr. Carter; but no definite arrange
ment was concluded between them owijtg
10 their not pectsely agreeing ,kn
terms, atihogk no unkind words or feq,L '
ings resulted from the tntosac'.ton. M»:
C. remarked to Mr. B. about this time,'
that if he did not purchase the stork, he
should be married and go to New Oi
lcans to commence business. Mr. Biad-
Ice remonstrated against his doing so, in
consequence of the feeble health vs his
dauglitet, and expressed tho Same aver
sion that any father woul *, at having his
daughter reside so far fro 111 home, aud in
un unheal hy climate. But no interrup
tion of the kindest feelings toward .each
other were excited. At lbi3 time, also,
Miss Bradieo expressed to tiie father of
Mr. Carter, that they proposed, being
marriod, and going to New Orleans,
when the latter expressed his disapproba
tion of so doing, until his sou should be
istalflidied in business there.
The last time they were seen together,
previous to the discovery of their bodies,
was then crossing Summer street, appa
rently to attend Tiinity Church whore
the family of Mr. C. attended public
Worship. No apprehension was felt on
account of this absence from each other’s
homes, at Miss .I>. not frequently visited
and'sometimes slept at the house »>f Mr.
’Carter's father, and it was (liotighi Mr.
C. might have-remained nt Mr. BV. house
Mr. Carter stepped into tho upotliecaiv
shop of Mr. S miih, two doors from Mr.
B adlee’s S%op, about (1 o'clock on Sun
day evening, but remained there but a
few minutes.
Four letters were left by them:
two in Miss B’s. dressing room, ona of
which was written by herself; and two
wereinthe room üburo their bodies tver#
found. These letters were submitted to
the coronet’s jury, but contained nothing
which could throw any light upon the
transaction, except that the act was vol
untarily with both and deliberatlv rc9olvpd
upon. They did not, (as indeed the case
could not justify their so doing) convey
the slightest leprnach to their parents-:
hut hade them adieu, in terms like those
of affectionate children upon their death
bed.
Miss Bradlee was of a mild, and du
tiful and affectionate disposition, nor, so
far as wo cun learn, of a romantic turn
of mind. Mr. Carter was -of a pleasant
disposition, honest, and honorable in his
dealing*,but somewhat temaikable for ec
centricity in hi* manners' and conversa
tion* Their parents are among our Tiest
and most esteemed citizens, and the con
sternation which tiie strange calamity
which has bcfulleu them excited in this
community was great in the extreme.
Most of the forenoon, a great crowd was
assembled iu front of the store whete the
coroner’s inquest was held.
Mr. Bradlee has been singularly afflic
ted within a few years past. Two sum
mer’s since whilst his son, a fine boy of
12 years old, was taking an excursion
Tvith bia toothor tu the cstsDiry, the lire
of lire wheel bum a3 bp was looking but]
of the stage coach w indow, struck him on
the head and caosed his death in a few
hours. During tho last summer, when
Mr. B. was but jtist recovering from ‘a
long and severe illness, he was called
upon to pan with his son, and partnar itt
business,
Tluj Alias adds; A coronet’s jury was
immediately summoned and un inquest
held upon the bodies of the deceased.
Their verdict was, that they came to
their death by hanging themselves by the
neck by mutual agreement.

GREAT AND SPLENDID RACE.
Yesietday was the first day’s regular
annual race over the Washington Oourso,
for a purse of SI,OOO.
The following horses were entered the
evening before :
Col. Jas.B. Richardson's s. h. Bertrand
Jr. syears old, siro Bertrand, dam Trans
port. ,
Col. Singleton’s s. h. Godolpltin, 4
years old,-siro Crusader, dam Sylph.
\V ai. G. floras’ b. f. Rattlesuake, 3
years old sire Bertrand, dam Paragon.
All the horses entered were known to
the public advantageously. Rattlesnake,
although'least known, had made a fine run
and contested the honor of the field wi ll
Saliv Hornet, at Sdvaunah. In additieu to
this she was the descendant of old Bei trand
known to be the first blood in Carolina.
Bertrand Jr. hud already ’ established a
reputation not only enviable, but seldom
surpassed. It is true that on the-Colum
bia Course in January last, Godolphin had
beaten him three miie heats, iu a race, in
which they competed together with Col.
l Johnson’s Betsy Hare. This incident
gave interesi lo the race. The friends of
Berlrand, Jr. were anxious again to meet
Godolphit), well knowing that though bea
ten, lie was superior to his late victor.
Bertrand, Jr. had never rati 4. mife'beats
nor had Godolphin been tried for that
distance. His speed was well established
-T-the superior of Bertrand Jr. aud-Betsy
Hare, must have speed. It was weil
kutnviM-hai the sleek of C’ol. Richardson
and Col. Singleton was good.—-The de
scendant of Bertrand and Transport inns'
bo game. The late conquest of Godol
pliiu, the only victor of Bertrand Jr. gave
confidence to his ft iends.
At the hour of twelve, the horses were
brought upon the course—ail tvcte anx
ious to see them unfc{(«thed--Tlie step and
air of Godolphin was imposing.
Bertrand Jr. moved forward with his
usual sluggisli walk, occasionally chump*
iog upon the bit and giving a look at the
thronged “course, seeming to understand
well the Coining contest, in which ho was'
to be un actor,
ita tiesnake was extremely-restive, ex
hibiting.fiue spirits aud high metric. The
course was thronged with youth aud age,
beauty and fashion. The vast number
of Naval -and Military Officets on the
Jockey Club Siaud, gave interest to the
scene.
After the usual preparatory notices, the
riders were mounted, acid the horses, dis
playing their fine and silky coats, and
solendnJ symmdiv, were brought tu the
Starting Post. The track was awatdod
to Rattlesnake, Godolphin next, & Ber
trand, Jr. last.
At the word go, all were ofi’ Godol
phin leading, Bertrund, Jr. next, with
Rattlesnake in ihe rear. For near thieu
miles, Godolphin and his competitor were
side by side. At this nnr e.nt Rattle
snake made her posh, and after a spirited
contest, Bertrand, Jun. wws puHed op by
the rider, being well satisfied, that if out
footed for the first heat, he had nerve and
muscle that would never fail. The con
test for the Treat was now resigned to Go
dolphin nud Rattlesnake, and af or a
close and animated contest, resulted in
favor of Godolphin, Bertiand, J. . drop
ping within the post.
The friends of Godolphin wete now
confident of success. The friends of
Bertrand Ji. knew he had never lost but
one race, and had never won the first
heat in ail his victories. Rattlesnake had
many friends and some backers. After
the usual time of rubbing had transpTred,
the combattao's weto summoned to the
starting post, and at the tap of the drum
went off in fine style, Bertrand, Jr. ahead,
Godolphin o.exr, and Rattlesnake lust.
On the second round Godolphin made
a push at Bertrand, jr. and succeeded in
passing him afer an animated contest.
It was supposed the victory would perch
upon the banner of Godolphin—-Bertrand,
jr, still lioitg upon the haunches of'Godol
phin, and on the third round, made 9 de
monstration upon his antagonist, but still
remained but second iu tho heat. On
she fourth round, Bertrand, jr. made his
Itfst push, and lifter a vigorous effort by
Godolphin to sustain hi* position, he was
compelled to yield the palm of vicio/y
for this heat lo Bertrand, Jr. avlio canto
in under a strong pull.
The friends of Bertrand, Jr. were now
confident of success. Many supposed
tlmt Rattlesnake was a dangerous rival to
Bertrand, Jr. but none supposed that
Godolphin could take a posiliou in tho
next heat.
After the usual time of rubbing had ta
ken |ilace, all were again brought to the
starting post, and went off at the tap of
the drum, Bertrand, Jr. taking the lead,
Rattlesnake next, and Godolpliiu consid
erably'in the rear. There was now no
doubt as to the result of the race; although
Bertrand was under the strongest pull, his
competitors were falling far behind, and
the heav and race was won with’ease by
Bertiand, Jr. The time was:
First heat,. 7m. 50s.
Second, '.Bm. 00
Third, Bm. 10s..
Thus terminated one of the'best con*
tested races that was even run over the
Washington Course. Bertrand, J’»s. re
putation is now placed beyond (he reach
of contingency. Although the lustre of
his fame has been for a short timo eclips
ed by Gwqolphio. tee pteciuj of Gudoi'
phidbehind tke post In a race of 4 miles
and repeat, and the heats broken, has re
newed and regenerated his well earned
reputation, and given a brighter splendor
to. his name.
Great credit is due and tho thanks of
Hie Club should be given to CoL Ricii
'AßDSoNand Col. Singleton, for the a
tnusement and interest which they annu
ally impart to the citizens of tho State,
by the exhibition of their fine stud of
horses, iu vigorous competition of speed
and bottom.
It is to bo hoped those gentlemen may
long continue to amuse us, aud to sustain
the fame of Carolina horses at home and
abroad.
Tbe following horses are entered for
this days’s race. 5 mile heats.
Cel. Richardson’s b. m. Liltla Venus, j
5 yemrs old, by Sir William d«urt LecaJoe, |
by Potomac. Rider’s dress—Pink am!
Red.
Singleton’s ch. h. Godolphin, 4 years
old, by Rclipse, dam ’Sylph, out of Lot
tery, by flephestion.—Ruler’s diess—
Yelimv and Black.
By a resolution of the Jockey Club,
passed at its meeting last evening, it was
resolved, “That SIOO be given by the
Club, as a purse (iviib the entrance mo
ney) for a Sweep Stake, two mile heats,
mV be rot) for this dav.’’

“ I left Augusta in the Stage, expect

* not reach the Rail Road, till 1 or 2 o*-

the facts in mfy case. The Stage does

any possibility of changing the arrange

building, where the mail and passengers
are’delivered ; bui it must be some con
siderable time before it is fit for use.

a certain age, say 4 or 5, hmses should
carry weight in some proportion to their
own weight and strength? It doesn't
seem light, that a hoi-e, only one yetir,'
the oldest and the smallest too, should
carry the most weight. Bertrand yes er
day carried 12 lbs. more than GodolpUu
find is much the smallest horse—the firsl
is 5, tho last 4 years old. The Juckies

him w ith the closest conq eiition. Tho

Tld« may be a truo or falso accusation—
I Cannot tell. My own opinion is, that

GodwlpLin on any turf.

present. The politicians, houevci, are
endeavoring to make the people believe,
that the Collection Bill is something new
and terriblo and bloody. Whereas every
honest mart, who knows any thing about
the-matter, will testify, that tho features
of the bill, to which they so much object,
were moulded in Washington’s time, and
