THE MIDNIGHT WIND. Mournfully! oh Mournfully I This midnight wind doth sigh, Like some sweet plaintive melody Os age* long gone by ; It speaks a tale of other years— Os hopes that bloomed to die ; Os sunny smiles that set in tears., And loves that mouldering lie .' Mournfully J oh, Mournfully This midnight wind doth moan; ft stirs some chord of memory In each dull heavy tone. The voices of the much-loved dead Seem floating thereupon AH, all my fend heart cherished Ere death had made it lona. MournfulTy! eh, mournfully This midnight wind doth swell, With its quaint pensive minstrelsy, . Hope's passionate farewell To the dreamy joys of early years, Ere yet griefs canker fell On the heart’s bloom—ay ! well may tears, Start at that parting knell ! Prom the Comic offspring. THE PORTIONLESS ONE. Nobility is in his blow, His gentle smile .*eturn provokes, But. nh ! the truth to tell it how— We’part to meet oo more—Ac smokes Yes the dark fact is «11 too true— My heartfrom what it lieats for shrinks, To what it thirsts for bids adieu , For, oh, the handsome sot !he drinks. Tn virgins soft,who think me hard, Hear fai (her what ray union stay,, And say if you’d not too discard, The darling gambler—yel, he plays, Ah weep, the truth I’ve yet to sing, He stnokes-j^ iat I no portion own; He drinks—oWe Pierian spring; He plays—but on the flute alone. Mo each a man I could but be A ready prize 7*—but mark what said he*. ‘Lady, alas? * prize to me 0 Is not, who is.bdt lias the ready." Mr. Webster and the Muses.—We copy the following impromptu from the Boston Transcript. It was written in the Album of a young Lady who requested the great Statesman to writo his name in the little treasury of great names, under the autograph of Lafayette:— “Dear Lady, Ia little fear ’Tis dangerous to be writing here. His hand, who bade our Eagle fly, Trust his young wings and mount the sky. Who bade, across the Atlantic tide, New thunders sweep, new navies ride, Has traced, in lines of trembling age, His autograph upon this page. Higher than that Eagle soars, Louder than that thunder roars, Hit fame shall through the world be sounfting And o’er the waves of time be bounding, While (thousands, as obscure as /, Cfing to his skills, he still will fly, And spring to immortality. If by this name {''write my own, ’l’will take me where / am not known, The cold salute will meet my ear, “Pray, stranger, how did you come here?” ” MAHOMMED ALI. Viceroy of Egypt. The following notice of tho present Viceroy of Egyp', Mahommed Ali, is tak en from the most authentic souices. No full account of his life having been pub lished in this couutry, tbe following cur sory review of his extraordin&ry career may not he uninteresting to the public. The present Viceroy of Egypt, Ma hoaimed Ali, is a native of Cavalla, a small town ia RofiiJiu, a district of Al bania. He was boro in the year 1767. in early life he lost his father, and was placed under the protection of the gover nor, by whom he was educated in that species «>f training which qualifies a man to rise in a despotic government. He was first appointed a collector of taxes, in which office he was observed to set a higher value on the money, than on tho blood of ihe unhappy peasantry over whom his jurisdiction extended. Not long after he obtained the rank of Boulouk basbi, and married a relation of tbs Go vernor. . On the invasion of Egypt by the French, he was called to fulfil a higher destiny, io a more active scene. The contingent of three hundred men, raised by the town ship of Cavalla, was placed under the command of Ali, who was now recognized as Binbashi, or captain of regular troops. After the massacre of tho Mamelukes at Aboukir, he obtained the command of a division in the army of Youself Bey, and joined the expedition against the insurgent chiefs, which terminated so fatally to the Turks. He was accused by Jousefras the cause of the defeat, and at his instigation, Rusrouf, the Governor of Cairo, resolved to expel Ali from the country. But the young Aibauiao taking advantage of a dis alßtetion of tbe troops, in consequence of their pay being in arrear, demanded the payment of tbe troops, as the ouly condi tion <>n which he would yield obedience. To avoid the danger Rusrouf admitted in- io Cairo the Albanian corps under Taher Pasha, hoping that the intrigues of one chief would counteract those of the other. But in tbit he was disappointed, for upon whatever other point the Albanians might differ, upon this they were perfectly a greed, and the couseqnence was, they at tacked and drove Rusrouffrom the city, and deposited the Viceregal power in the hands of Taher Pasha. The tyranny of tbit new ruler brought his reign to a sudden close, and the actual government was pieced in the hands Ibrahim, Osman Bardisty, and Mahom nted Al*. , „ The undisputed power of the -Mame lukes being likely to prove fatal to Ali, he contrived to embroil Osman with his associates, and then attacking him with his own hand, contrived to reinstate an exiled Pasha, whom the Saltan had sent to take command—and whom he intended to use merely as a tool for his ambitious purpos es. The Grand Seignior suspecting his ambitious views, in the year 1804, order ed him and 4ns Albanians to return home. Mahommed disregarded »he'mandate, and intimated that his aervices were longer needed. On the following year he was appointed Pasha of Djidea and of the port of Mecca, on the 'eastern shore of the Red Sea.—LTpon this* scene of insubor dination ensued, and the army threatened immediate violence if their arrears were not paid. Mahommed alone could rule the disturbed elements in the furious tem pest. He was entreated to take upon him the durfes of Viceroy- The wily Albanian-seemed amazed at this proposal, and after a feigned hesitation, yielded and was inmediately invested with the insignai of office. He soon after succeflfod Rouschid Pa cha, and the citadel of Alexandria was pla ced in hii hands. The Mamelukes still continuing to be troublesome, be contri ved a snare which cost them nearly twe hundred of their best men. fiighty-three heads were sent to Constantinople to grace the waJl* of the Seraglio. Failing again under the suspicions of the Grand Seignior, various attempts were made to deprive him of his power, but in vain; he was 100 well versed in the aris of war 6f of peace,to suffer himself to be deceiv ed by the specious offers of the emissary of the Sultan,who seeing how affairs stood, made the best of 4ms ambitions subject, by leaving him in posession of the Viceroy alty. Soon after he advanced into Up per Egypt where be defeated a large bo dv of Mamelukes. ”ln the year 1807, hostilities having commenced between Great Britain and the Octoman ompir-e, Gen. Fraser, with 5000 troops, was seat to occupy Egypt with a view of preventing the country from falling into the hands of the French. The fate of this body of troops is well known.—Four hundred and fifty of their heads were pnblicly exposed at Cairo, and the unfortunate captives were treated with every species qf contempt aod cru elty. After the departure of the British, the affairs of Egypt being in a deranged con dition, he felt that his popularity was en daogered. Fearing the Mamelukes, he resolved upon their final destruction at whatever expence of candor and human ity. This horrible determination was confirmed by the necessity of carrying on a war against the Wahabees io Arabia The Porte had urged hirato prepare for this expeditkm.so important to the purity of the faith and to the integrity of the em pire, rewarding him beforehand, by con ferring upon his favorite son, Foussoun. the dignity of a Pacha of the second or der. On the Ist. day of March, 1811, was committed an act of treachery, unpre cedented in any age or country. On this day, the investure of the new chief was to take place; a which was to be performed if) the citadel The Mamelukes were invited to share in tbe parade and festivites of the occasion, and accordingly, under command ofCha bvo Bey, and urrayed in their most splendid uniforms, thejQpppeared at the hnll of audience, and unsuspectingly of fered »Ae Pacha their hearty congratula tions. Mahommed received them with the greatest affability,and pressed them coffee and other refreshments—which is among Turks, a pledge of friendship, safety and protection. The Mamelukes were ordered to march along a narrow de fine loading to the citadel, being preceded by the body guard of Mahomed Ali. As soon as they had passed the gate it was shut behind them, while the opposite cod (J? 6l e to’wg closed, they were caught as it were io wahommed’ B soldiers from the top of the rocks, secur ed from the aim of the Mamelukes pour ed down volleys of shot upon their victims who were butchered almost to the last man. The lifeless body of the brave 'Cha'nyn, was exposed to every infamy. The streets boro the appearaoce es a place taken by assault. Matsommed uo ted among the slain four hundred and 70 mounted Mamelukes, besides their atten dants. The number of victims in the end did not fall short of one thousand. There can be no apology offered for this act of deliberate, cold hearted treachery, and Mahommed bears still apon bis brew, the brand of a murderer. The Egyptiao at my under Fossoun, -failing in their object, Mahommed soon after assumed the command, and defeat ed the W ababees. On the day of August, 1815, all the troops in Cairo broke into open mu tiny and revolt, and after committing va rious excesses, tbtv submitted upon the amnesty proclaimed by Mahommed. Al though the leaders es the revo | t cou .. not be discovered, it was afterwards re marked that Beys died very sud denly, having roost probably falleo under the suspicions of tbe Viceroy. After this eveur, he sent his son Ibrahim to check tbe incursions of a large body of Arabi ans upon the Egyptian frontiers, who completely routed them—which triumph was rather owing to the sudden daatb of Sehood, the Arabian Chief. t In 1820 he ordered an exedtlion to be fitted oot in order to subdue the natives of Dongola and Lennar. Under the command of his son Ibrahim, he eomple* tely succeeded, but this conquest if these harmless nations was accompanied with extreme cruelty towards the natives. For the last ten years Mahommed has been en gaged in disciplining his troops in the European manner, and more than once it has nearly cost him his life. His attention to the army and navy has been unremitting. In Greece their valor and discipline was proved, although they tvere defeated. At the battle of Navari no, the naval discipline succeeded better than was expected. The preparations of Mahommed For some years back, have evinced something more than a desire to protect his province. Any one who has the curiosity to follow out the Vicerey ia his great efforts in increasing his army, and the resources of his empire, must say that the declaration of war against the Sultan was no sudden movement. It has been the preparation of years. On Ap* ril Ist. 1832, war was commenced be tween Turkey and Egypt. On the 12th Hussein Pacha took'Command of the Ot toman army, against Ibrahim, the son of Mahommed- On the 27th of May, St. Jean d’Acte surrendered te the victori ous arms of Mahommed. Damascus soon followed, and since ibe fall «f that fortress (St. Jean iTAcre) the success of the arms of the Egyptians has been in creasing and they are now within a few days march es Constantinople. Mahommed is now about 63 years of age, rather short in stature, with a high forehead and aqueline nose, and altogeth er possessing an expression of counte nance which shows him to be no ordinary man, His dress is usually very plain— and the on y expence he ai ows .imself to fal into, is lavished upon liis arms, some of whLh are stu .ded with dia mon J». N > one has attempted to conceal that rhere is in thd temper of Maiioiumed A i, with a few good qua itres, a deep tincture of b.*rb rism and fiercene»s. An- in moments of passion, there is hardly any c uelty he will not perpetrate or com mand. The Pacha seems o be one of t ose persons -iuo by an ■extraordiaqry combination of circumstancus, has attain ed bis present eminence, and whose suc cess seems to be rather tho resu.t if for tune, than any innate greatness. Still it must be confessed, trial he has much im proved his Province, by introducing the acts of civilized life, and by educa’ing the -children of toe chiefs. He has two «ons, Ibrahim, tho sen of his wife, who now commands tbe arm. in Syria, and the Daftu.der, who is his son in-law by niai ri ge. The former is very friendly Io the improvements now making in Egypt under the direction of foreigners, the latter views them with the eye -of a big gotted Mussulman. The present war that Mahommed has undertaken against the Sultan, may not, in tbe end prove as successful as he has anticipated—and unless his son possesses the genius and address of Napoleon, he will not be able to extricate nimself from his present situation. In tbe heart of t .a Suttan’s territory—and hemmed in on all sides, he mav meet with the same fate as did bis brother lshmael. But the contest will soon be decided, and Ma hmoud or Mahommed will bear undispu ted rule over Turkey. Nullification w» Europe.— Nicholas is about seceding from the Holy Alliance.— The surviving parties will be France, England aod Austria. The Autocrat has his eye upon Turkey in her troubles, on Holland in her mulligrubs and Prussia in her imbecility, as puppets for anew clique. Pozzi di Borgo, his favorite pain ter, is abroad again upon a political scent. Like a comet, his appearance alwtrys por tends war. Well, let it come.—Poland may rend her chains again—a consumma tion devoutly to be wished ; but our fears are that there will be no wag| neverthe less. The Autocrat will have to watch Poland ; tbe Sultan aaafee peace with his rebels; Holland smoke a fresh pipe; Lou is Phillip deliver the Dutchess from irons; Austria aud Prussia mind 'heir own busi ness ; and England have quite enough to do with (he great question of the abolition of slavery. The Pageantry of Scott's Novels is now ail the ton io England. At every fashionable ball or banquet the various characters of ten or a dozen of the No vel?, according to the number of guests, are regularly personated- Had the Author of Waveriy lived to witness this potthumus respect to his tal ents, he could oot fait of being highly gratified. How much is it to be regret ted, that the debt due to the living should only be paid to the dead ! that the chap let renown has wreathed, should deck, alas ! net their temples, but their tombs ! Wherefore should this be ? May wo not truat that the departed spirit is permitted to walk tbe earth, invisible—revisit the scenes of its earthly triumph, witness the honors accorded to its undying fame ? —Who shall be able to solve this startling question!—Not the living; aay, nor the dead ; no !—nor faith, nor hope ! Yet may we oot, should we not, trust I—trust that we shall hereafter know what passes here!—We do, aod will at least trust, that however the world may honor or oegtect virtue or genius, they will yet re ceive their reward, which the world can neither give, nor takeaway ! Wooden Candles. —The Yankees may brag, says the Liverpool (Pe.) Mercury, as much as they please about their ingen uity; tbeir wooden nutmegs, Prussian pumkin seeds, aod machines for making white ash rakes out of chesoui chips, but they can’t 6rgi» with the Pennsylvanians. They make no bones at all of palming bass-wood hams flannel sausages. You see 4 look it iqtQ my head to try to spec ulate a little to make up the eighteen pence rhat I lost a bettiog on the ’lection. Ai first I did’nt know exactly what I’d better try, and was jusi talking’ with ray landlord, (pretty clever fellow for a Dutchman.) when some body came along, and asked if any body warned io boy any candles for four pence ha’ peony a pound. "Here's a chance for you, says the land lord, “any of the store keepers will give yon more than that for’em right off.’’ I’ll ba darned if I dont beleive that tbe land lord was in the scrape, for if he had’nt have been, he’d havo bought the candles himself* But you see I did,nt think of that, and so bought a whole box of the candles. And how do you think I got sucked in? If you can guess in a week, I'll treat you to a glass of Duff Green’s julap. But to save you all that trouble, I’ll just tell you how it turned out.

At eleven years of age, my employment was clippiog off box-edgings and weeding beds of flowers in the garden of the Bishop of Winchester, at the Castle of Faruham, my native town. I had always been fond of beautifni gardens ; and a gardener who had just come from the King’s gardens ai .Kew, gave such a descrip ion of them, as made mq instantly resolve to work in ihose gardens. The next morning without ray ing a word to any one, I set off, with no clothes except those oo my back, and with thirteen half-pence in my pocket.— I found that I must go to Richmond, and I according went ori from place to place, inquiring my way thither, A long day (it was in June) brought me to Richmond in tbe afternoon. Two penny worth «f bread and cheese, a penny worth of smnli bear, which I had on the road, and one halfpenny that I lost somehow or other, left threejrence io my pocket. With this for my whole fortune, I was trudging through Richmond, in my blue smock frock, and my red garters tied under my knees, when staring about my eye fell upon a little book io a bookseller’s win dow,on the outside of which was written, “Tale of a Tub!” price 3d. Tbe title was s« odd, that my curiosity was excited, (had the' three pence, but then I could have bo supper. In I went and got the little book which I was so im patient to read, that I got over into a field at the upper corner of Kew-gardens, where there stood a hay stack. On the shadowy side of this I sat down to read. The book was different from any thing 1 had ever read before; it was something so new to my mind, that, though I could oot at all understand some «f it, it de lighted me beyond description; and it produced what I have always considered a sort of birth es intellect. I read on until it was dark, without any thought of sup por or be4 When I could see no lon ger, I put my little book in my pocket, and tumbled down by the side of the hay stack, where I slept till the birds in Kew gardens awakened me in the morn ing, when off I started to Kew, reading my little book. Tho Singularity of my dress, the sim plicity of my manner, my confident aud lively air, doubtless, his own compassion besides, induced the ga.dener, who was a Scotchman,! remember, to give me vic tuals, find me lodging and set me to work; and it was during the period that i was at Kew, that the present King and two of his brothers laughed at the i dn lifts of my dress, while I was sweeping the grass plat round the foot of the pagoda. The gard ener, seeing me fond of books leut me some gardening books to read, but those I could not relish after my “Tale’of a Tub,” which I carried about me wherever I went, and when I, at about 20 years old, l»st it in a box that fell overboard in the Bay of Fundy, in North America, the loss gave me greater pain than 1 have ever felt at losing thousands of pounds. This cir cumstance, trifling as it was, and childish as it may seem to relate it, has always endeared the recollection of Kew to me. About five weeks ago, I had occasion to go from Cheltenham to Twickenham, with my two eldest sons; I brought them back through Kew, in order to shew them the place where the hay-stack stood, having frequently related to them what 1 have now related to you.

Major Clayton, of the army who had rendered Cromwell great service in tbe tears, applied to him for promotion, and Cromwell sent him into Ireland, with great pretence of love to him, and for his preferment, and told him, that in the bow els of the Lord Jesus, be had a tender af fection for him, and took him by the shoulder and wept over him, giving him letters to his son in Dublin (who was at the head of the government in Ireland,) telling him those tetters would do bis bu siness. sis * iP* Major Clayton gdes off for Ireland, and having, on his arrival at Chester, ft mind to know tho contents of the letters, he o pened them and found that there was an express order to hang him. Clayton took the him, and instead of proceeding on to Ireland, retired to live privately in obscu rity where he died. From the Boston Statesman.

Ginger for Heatiug in Horses ?—As Farriery is embraced in this w rk, I may add, that my old horse, who is now in Iris > 20th year, has been cured of the disease called 'Heaves,' by the use of ground gin-' ger, a remedy recommended to me for that purpose. A table-spoonful was give to him daily, for several weeks mixed io his mess of Indian moa! and cut straw. The horse had been troubled with whee zing and a hard cough for a year or two, and lost flesh so much that he seemed to have finished hfs term of service.

The Chronicle, this morning, finds great fault with the Richmond Hussars, for a visit for dis cipline, which they made to the Arsenal in Feb ruary. ts they did wrong, why did not tbs r hnmiclc make them do right? Does he not held a commission in the Corps? The fact is tbit, divested of tbe Chronicle's colouring, which it genet ally daubed on in such a manner, that it seldom requires a critic’s hand to point out tbe defects.
