Proud navies that cover

To look on thy greatness
And list to thy roll:
To think how that heart

While the voice of eternity
Rises from thee l

■Of Thebes and of Tyre7
Swept from the nations

The splendor of Rome,
Dissolved—and forever-**
Like dew in thy foam.
Rut thou art Almighty—
Eternal—sublime—

Twiti brother of Time!
Fleets, tempests nor nations
Thy glory can bow;
As the stars first beheld thee
Still chatulcss art thou!
But hold! whe.i thy surges
Wo longer shall roll,
And the firmament’s length
Is drawn back like a scroll;
Then— then shall the spirit
That sighs by thee now,
Be more mighty—more lasting
More chainless than thou !
POPPING THE QUESTION
There is no more delicate step in life
than the operation designa’eil by the ele
gant phrase I have selected for the title
of my present lucubration. Much winding
and caution and previous .sounding is no
cessary when you have got a favor to ask
of a great man. It is ten chances to one
that betakes it into his head to consider
your request exorbitant, and to make this
the pretext for shaking ofl' what he na
turally considers a cumbersome appen
dage to hie state—a man who ha« a claim
upon bis good offices.—But this hazard is
nothing in comparison with the risk you
run in laying yourself at the mercy r of A
young gipsy, fonder of fun and yrolic
than any thiog >n life. Even though she
love you with the whole of her little beau
she possesses a flow of spirits, a woman's
ready knack of preserving appearances ;
and though her bosom may heave respon
sive to your stammering tale, she will lure
you do with kind complacent looks until
you have told “your pitiful story,” and
then laugh in your face for your pains.
The dexperaio struggles and flounder
ings by which some endeavor 10 get out
•f their embarrassment are amusing e
nough. VVe remember to have been much
delighted the fust time we heard the his
tory of ihe wooing of a noble lord, now
no more, narrated. His lordship was a
man of talents and enterprise, of stainless
pedigree, snd a fair rent-roll, but the
vetiesl slave of bashfulnes*. Like all
timid and quiot men, be was very suscep
tible and very constant, as long ns he was
in the habit of seeing the object of bis af
fection daily. He chanced, at the begin
ihg of an Ediuborg winter, to lose his
heart lo Miss •; and as their families
wore in habits ofintimacy, be had frequent
opportunities of meeting with her. lie
gazed and sighed incessantly—a very dum
bedikes, but that he had a larger allow
ance ol brain ; he followed every where;
he foil jealous, uncomfortable, savage, if
she looked even civilly on another; and
yet, notwithstanding his stoutest resnlu
tions-"not withstanding the encouragement
afforded him by (be |ady, a woman of
sense, who saw what his lordship would
be a', esteemd his character,was superior
to girlish affectation, and made every ad
vanco consistent with womanly delica
cy—the winter was fading into spring,
and he had not yet got his mouth opened.
Mamma at lasi lost all patience ; and one
day, when his lordship was taking his u
stiai lounge in the drawing loom, silent,
or uttering an occasional monosyllable,
the good Lady abruptly left the mom, and
tucked the pair in alone. When his
lordship, on essaying to take his leave,
discovered the predicament in which he
stood., a desperate fit of resolution seized
him. Miss. -sat bending most assidu
ously over ner needle, a deep blush on
her check. His lordship advanced to
wards her, but, losing heart by the way
passed on in silence to the other end of
-the room. He returned to the charge
but again without effect. At last nerving
himself, like one about to spring a pow
der mine, lie stopped short before her
, will you marry me?”—“With tho
greatest pleasute, my lord !” was tho an
swer, given in a low, somewhat timid, bui
onfaultering voice, while a deeper blush
-suffused the fatie of the speaker. And a
rip lit good wife she made him.
S'-mo gentlemen, equa’ly nervous, and
unadied by such a d ; scriininating and in
genious mamma,hare tecourso to the plan
of wooing by prosy. Thi3 is a system
which Iby no means recommend. If a
male agent be employed, there is great
danger that, before he is aware, he begins
to plead for himself. Talking of love,
even in the abstract, with a woman, is a
ticklish matter. Emotions are awaken
ed, which wo thought were lulled to sleep
forever,and we grow desirous to appropri
ate to ourselves the pretty sentiments
which she so well expresses.—A fentalo
go between is less dangerous; but I can
not conceive with what face a man can
ever address a woman as his wife whom
ho had v not courage-enough to woo for
himself.
D iy,thephilosopher,hail a freak of edu
cating a wife for himself. He got two
orphan girls entrusted to bis care, on en
tering into recognizance to educate and
provide for them.—One proved too mu
lish to make any thing of.—The other
grew up every thing he could have wish
ed. And yet he gave up tho idea of
marrying her, because she one day pur
chased n haudkorc lief more candy than
accorded with his philosophical notions.
Os course,it never came to a declaration.
I wish it had, that one might have seen
with what degree of grace a man could di
vest himseif oXthe grave and command
ing characters of papa and pedagogue, to
assume lire supple, insinuating deport"
roont of the lover.
There are a sot of men, whose success
in wooing and it is unfailing, I cannot
comprehend, Grave, emaciated, sallow
divines, who never look the person in the
face whom they address—who never
speak above their breath—who sit on the
uttermost edge of the chairs, a full yard
distance from the dinner table, I have
never known ono of those scare-crows
fail in getting a good and rich wife. Mow
tt is, heaven knows! Can it be that the la
dies ask them?
One thing is certain, that I myself have
never been able to “pop the question.”—
Like the inspired writer among the things
bey ond the reach of my intellect, is “ the
way of a man with a maid.” By what
witchery he should be ever able to induce
| her “ her free unhoused condition” to
“circumscription and confinc,”is to me a
mystery. Had it been otherwise, I should
not have been at this time the lonely in
mato of a doll house—-one who can scarce*
ly claim kindred with any human being—

TRIAL OF THE-REvTe K. AV
ERY,
The Court opened on Tuesday, at
Newport, R. I. at 0 o'clock, but the
State Attorney not having arrived, it ad
joured until 5 l*. M. Numerous witness
es are in attendance, but there is very
little probability that the Grand Jury
will conclude their examination before
the end.of the waek. The town is full
of strangers, many of them from long dis
tances; and notwithstanding every fact of
the case has been so long and so thor
oughly discussed in this neighborhood,
the local excitement seems to increase
rather than to abate. Avery is said to
express perfect confidence of his acquital
though few persons here, except his par
tixans, give him credit for sincerity. He
issheWs the utmost indulgence, and per
mitted to have unrestricted intercourse
with every owe whom he wishes to see.
Avery’s unfortunate wife, however, who
js said to be an amiable fiewottby woman,
is truly an ohject of the deepest sympa.
tby. Shelias lately given birth to ano
ther child, and iu more than the usual
portion of woman’s destined “sorrow”
has she brought it forth.
At half past ten o’clock on Friday
morniog th» grand jury entered the Court
room, and announced that they had found
a true bill of indictment against the Rev.
Ephram K. Avery, for the murder of
Sarah Maria Carnell. The court order
ed that the accused be forthwith arraign
ed, and shortly afterwards he was brought
in by the&heriff and accomodated with a
chair beside Mr. Randolph, his counsel
The prisoner is a man of vety lespecia'
ble appearance, about five feet eleven
inches in height, and thirty-six or 7 years
of age. He is considered handsome; his
forehead is high and unfurrowed, of good
breadth at its lower division, but upwards
much contracted.his eyebrow sate regular
and,though nearly united above,the nose,
are not heavy; the nose itself is slightly
aquiline and delicately turned, but his
lip is rather too thick to symmetrize well
wiili the upper features.
The indictment contained.throe counts:
—lst. Choking and strangling; 2d.
Strangling and hanging; 3d. Beating &>
choking; the last embraced the bruises &
.abrasions of skin discovered about the
back and abdomen of the unfortunate
young woman.
The hand which ho held up during the
whole time occupiod in reading the in
dictment, trembled not, norwas the curve
of a finger ora line of his face decom~
posed; even his eye exhibited nothing
bui calm attention to the language of his
accusation. At length, however, large
drops of perspiration appeared on his up*
periipjbut this was alljthey were occasion
ally wiped off, with a band as untre
mulous as the other* To tho usual ques
tion of guilt or inuocence,he replied,* 1 Not
guilty, sir,” with a slight degree of em
phasis.
The court had made no appointment
but it is generally expected the trial will
lake place at a special session, immedi
ately after the Providence session shall
have closed.
From Ike Bal. Patriot.
As the nttllifiers of rSfouth Carolina
have shewu so much expertness in “cal
culating the value of the Union,” we take
it for granted that some book keepers arOj
nre employed in making out an account
<»f their profit and loss on nullification.
Judging frum some of ihcitcms Avhicb are
already before the public, it must have
been a highly profitable speculation. In
the first place, they have lost nearly a
tithe of their population—a loss which
will be more severelly felt than if so ma
ny had been swept off by a pestilence, in
asmuch as the emigrants carried their
wealtlt with then). jThey have degrad-'
ed the character of their State-* -shorn it
of its political influence—aad made them
selves the laughing stock ol the couu'rv,
—To balance this they have an arsenal
of mall arms, made like Pindar’s razors,
to sell, aad for which the)? friends in the
East no doubt made thorn pay the full
value ijmd a little over : they have a park
of b.oney-combed artillery, some kegs of
powder, and an assortment of cockades,
cocked hats, and guns that go off at half
cock and “ kick their owners oyer ;”
and they havo an army of captain* and
majors, and volunteer major-generals,
whose commissions are said to have cost
the State five hundred dollars in sheep
skin alone.

A SERIOUS DISASTER.
We are sorry to have to announce that
the Public Building East of the Presi
dent’s Square, occupied as the Treasury
Department, tons comsumed by Fire yes
terday morning, between two o’ciock and
sunrise. The fire tras first discovered
in the room adjoining that of he Chief
Clerk of the Department, usually ko«wn
among the Cletks and other officers bv
the name of Mr. F. Lamb’s room. It is
not known whether the Fire originated
in the floor or the ceiling of the room, the
whole being in a blaze before any ono ap
proached it ; but no doubt appears to be
entertained that tho Fire was accidental.
The whole room was on fire before the
alarm was given'; and until tho alarm
was given, even tho watch walking the
pavement in front of the Branch Bunk
(ttear the spot) perceived nothing of the
fire, (the building of the State Depart
ment interposing.) Every exertion was
made, as the people gathered to the spot,
finding that it would be in vain to at
tempt saving tho building, to rescue the
books and papers of the several offices.
A great deal was saved, by the Clerks
and other citizens, consderiog the cu*
cumstances. It is hoped, indeed, that
few books or papers of much conse
quence are destroyed.
All the books and papers on the ground
floor are believed to have been saved (in
great disorder of course) and all those in
the third story were destroyed. Os the
books and papers in the apartments of
the second story, much the greater part
were saved.
The offices on the first floor, the books
of which are saved, wero those of the
Register of the Treasury, the Treasur*
er, and the First Auditor. On the se
cond floor, nearly all the books of the
f u r st Comptroller, whose office occupied
the gmafsr number of tl\e rooms, were
saved, atkd a part of those belonging to
the office ot Jho Secretary of the Treasu
ry, in whoso iitKne'diate apartments the
fire was first discovered.
Os the offices con.?ec?ed with the
Treasury Department, seve. al the most
extensive, are kept in other biddings
than that destroyed, and ara of course
entirely safe, viz. those of the SeCb'Jiu
Comptroller, Second, Third, Fonrth, and
Fifth Auditors, and the Solicitor of the
Treasury.
The papers destroyed were many of
them obsolete, and almost all of a date
prior to 1820. The most important pa
pers destroyed were perhaps the corres
pondence of the Head df the Treasury
Department, which was kept in the room,
wherein the fire originated.
When the Fire was first discovered, it
was the dead hour ojf tho night, aud the
whole popula'ion of the city was so deep
buried in sleep, that a comparatively
small number arrived early on the ground.
Very soon after the firs? cry of Fire was
scarcely uttered, at half past two o’clock,
the keeper of tire Orphan Asylum bell
cangltt atld repeated tho alarm ; whence
it happened that the persons first at the
fire, next to the immediate neighbors,
were roused by that bell, and had half a
mile to run before they arrived at it. To
save the building, however, when once
on fire, would, under any circumstances,
have been impossible, so inflammable
was its structure, as well as its contents.
N.) one can look at the smoking ruins,
without a sensation of astonishment at
the fatuity and utter improvidence with
which books and papers of such vast con
sequence have been so long trusted to
any other than a fire-proof building. The
few scattering vaulted rooms in the build
ing entirely escaped the flames ; and had
the whole building been similarly con
structcd the fire could not have occurred;
or if, through extreme carelessness, it had
occurred, would have been confined to
the room in which it originated.
Where was the watchman of the build
ing 2 is a natural question. He was, we
bear, sick at home ; and the youth who
substituted for him wasso sound asleep that
he was pet haps only saved from being
burnt alivo by those who broke open the
doors and roused him. Had he been ever
so wide awake, however, unless he had
happened to inspect the particular room
vvhero the fire begun, the alarm fr»>m out
side might have been his first notice.
We were glad to observo that c editable
exertions we;p made by the proper offi
cers yesterday to collect and securo the
scatteVed books and papers; so that by 2
o’clock in the day they were safely hous
ed.

A gentleman had one brought to fcitn by

As it lay on the ground, he '.urned it over

dead. Standing *jy, howover, for some
time, in he suddenly saw it open
an eye. thon took it up—its head fell—
its hung loose—it appeared again to
ts>Viy dond. He then put it in his pocket,
Cifta befuro very long, he felt it all alive,
and struggling to escape. He took it nut,
it was as lifoles as before. He then laid
it again upon the ground and retired to
some distance ; in about five minutes, it
warily raised its head, looked around,and
decamped at full speed.—(Notes of a Na

THE FLOOD.
It rained here all Saturday night and yester
day. In consequence otr River is extremely
high This morning. Part of the Wharf is in
jured, and a boat bt caking loose, dashed against
the Bridge.—lt “ stood the racket,” however,
without injury, the boat breaking in the mid
dle, and passing on. This reminds us of what
Mr Shultz once said about its stability.—
“ When l build him,’ 1 said be “ and the waters
come booming down, I want to lie easy in mine
ped, and know, when I gets up in de morning,
he’s derc.” The waters are nearly as high as
in August, 1831. Mr. Shultz told us about 10
o’clock, that they lacked not more than 6 inch
es ; and the River was rising rapidly, bearing
on its headlong current immense quantities of
drift-wood. The owner of Hamburg thinks it
will cover most of his Territory, nnd he was ac
cordingly, all yesterday afternoon with all the
force he could muster, making preparations to
receive the unwelcome visit with as little dam
age as possible. He thinks the waters will rise
two feet higher. If so, it will he in Broad-street
in this city In the August flood of 1831, the
waters lacked but 19 inches of being as high as
the centre of the city, at the intersection of
Broad and Washington-strects The rise above

feet.

characteristic anecdote of the Virginia orator we

John Randolph's Last —The Roanoke
Statesman addressed fits constituents, not
long since, nnd was about taking his seat,
when one of his heaters called upon him
to explain the cause his leaving his
mission at St. Petersburg and spending
bis time in Londoa. Old Roanoke im
mediately tesumed, “ Thank you, thank
you, fellow-citizen for that hint; it is a
subject on which I intended to address
you, but ir escaped my memory. I was
apprized, when at St. Peiersbutg, that
Louis McLane was ahont making a treaty
with England which would have been
highly injurious to our country, and I im
mediately repaired to London and by tny
presence and intimacy with some of the
British Cabinet, averted the threatened
evil. I admit that the treaty in relation
to the West Indies is not a very favorable
one ; but for such as it is, the couotry is
indebted to me.”
That the Nullifiers have overshot their mark
in their impotent Nullification of the Force Bill,
they will soon be likely to learn. The Richmond
Whig, one of their firmest allies, thus lectures
them on the occasion:—
* Nullification of the Force Dill.—Con
trary to our hope, the Force Bill has been
nullified by the S* Carolina Convention
—an injudicious step, we think, and al
most as supererogatory as the act itself.
When by the repeal of the Ordinance of
November, the Enforciog Act was de
prived of subject matter whereupon to act
—when no appeal had been taken to
Congress against it, and no opportunity
offeied for the deliberate reflection of the
country to perceive its inutility, impolicy
and unconstitutionality, we must think
that South Carolina has acted with a pre
cipitancy unworthy of her own dignity,
and extremely calculated to embarrass her
friends and impair the success of (heir ex
ertions fora legislative removal of their
grievance. Do we not koow, that the
principal difficulty in compromising the
Tariff was the apprehension that the act
would be ascribed to iotimidationf Do
we not know that the argumeot which has
arrayed, by its plausibility, almost the
whole American people ag&iost her, was
—“What—shall twenty-three States
yield to the dictation of one?” She has
again, needlessly, exposed her conduct
to the same odium, her causo to the same
prejudice, and her friends to increased
embarrassment. If before, her attitude
was so formidable a bar to the repeal of
the Tariff, hoiy much more so will it ’be
now, when the same urgency does Hot ex
ist, when the same long continued efforts
havo not been used, and when even those
who justify the principle of Nullification
are compelled to condemu its every day
and unnecessary use.
