THE OLD BACIIfcLiOR.
.Jim a Hugh was there, nor * sign of a smile?
’As our friend to the bridwi was hurried :
MVe thought of the pain he would suffer the while,
For be looked so confoundedly flurrieu.
We saw him stand tip, and we pitied him trio,
As the parson the dead knot was tying
’fie trembled so much, and his phiz was so blue,
That we feared the poor fellow was dying.
We escorted him home that bright summer’s eve,
When pale from his bridal’returiting—
’We spoke but few words, and most sorely did
grieve,
A’bocheior had no more discerning.

‘HeHcnew that we said it in sorrow—
•We cheered him, but sighed 'to 'think that his

"Would woefully ache on the morrow.
And who would have thought that one like him,

-Would ever have had bis eye sight so dim
As to fall in the noo-e that bound him » je

’Twas sad to us all as sadness eiuld be,

That instead of Confined he might have been

At this moment, in singleness living.

And thought he was surely repenting;
But now ’twas too late—he could not, if -he

So he gave up all thought of relenting.

And the tears fell fast as we did it;
- A tear fell from him, we know 'twas no jest,
Though he thought that his sad smile hid it.
And sadly he talked of blessedness gone-*
How each bachelor would now upbraid hirn-f

Slowly and sadly we all walked down

We vowed that his ease should ne’er be our own.

THE YOURG NAPOLEON,
The 15th June, 1831, the prince was Fra
med leutenant colonel, and took the com
mand ol a battalion of Hungarian infantry,
,<_hen in g.nrison at Vienna. His exertions
in the discharge of his new duties, in ad
dition to his previous occupations, appear
id have made the progress of his malady,
which had till now proceeded secretly,
wisibla b«th in his appearance, and in his
inability to bear fatigue. His voice be
r catne hoarsb, he was subject to coughs
and attacks of fever; he had shot ud to a
prodigious height, and his appeaerance
bore many tn irks of the germs of the ter
rible phthisis, now breaking out into ac
tivity.
“Frequently?’ says his physician. Dr.
Nalfatli, “J have urprised him in the
barracks in a state of dreadful lassitude.
.One day. among others, I found him
stretched on a sofa, exhausted, powerless,
and almost fainting. Not being able to
- conceal the wretched stata in which I
found him, he said, "I abominate this
manner.’ ‘lt is indeed provoking, I an
swered, 'that your Highnesss cannnot
change your person, as you do your hor
ses when they are tired; but permit me,
Monseigneur, I conjure you, to remem
ber, that you have set a will of iron in a
body of glass, and that the indulgence of
ynur will cannot prove otherwise than
fatal.”
“His life was, in fact, nt that time un
dergoing a proceas of combustion : he
slept scarcely four hours, though, by na
tme, he required a great quantity of
sleep ;he scarcely ate at ail. His soul
was entirely concentraledin the routine
of the manege and the different kinds of
military exercises; he was, in fact, never
at rest ; he continuedto increase in height,
grew wretchedly livid. To all my ques.
lions he answered, “I am perfectly well.”
Malfatti at length considered it neces
sary to present a representation to the
Empernr on the state of the Duke’s
health* Both the patient and the pbysi.
cian were summoned to the Imperial
presence. Malfatti repeated his state
ment. The Emperor then turned to
the young prince, and said, “You have
heard Dr. Malfatti; you will repair im
mediately to Scbuenbrunn.” The Duke
bowed respectfully, and as be was raising j
his head, he gave Malfatti a glance of ex
cessive indignation. “It is vou then
that have pnt me under arrest,” he said
to him in an angry tone, and hurried a
*way. He was placable, howdver, and
soon fmgave his amiable physician. The
air and quiet of Schccnbrunn were ex
tremely beneficial; he began again to
sleep and to eat; the first return of vig<><
was the signal for exertion. He com
mepced hunting, as tho next best thing to
war, in all weathers, and with a reckies
that, joined to similar exposuie in
visiting neighbouring military stations,
soon re-established the malady. • Phthisis
assumed all its horrible power, H«‘gradu I
ally sank, and, after dreadful suffering,
all the rallying and 'resistance which a
s<rong will can sometimes effect
disease, he fell "a victim to it on the 220
July, 1832, at SchcenbrUno, on the same
bed’, in the same apartment that his father
had occupied as the conqueror ol Vienna,
i His mother "was present during his lat
ter days, and seems io have suffered all
a mother’s pains. The Empertor whom
all agree in describing as an*excellent and
amiable old man, was greatly affected;
a very strong affection subsisted between
them;and,on the part of the Duke, it was
evident, that the honest, straight-forwaro
character of the Emperor, joined With,
hrs paternal kindness and evidently hon
est intentions, had made a profound im-;
pression on the mind and heart of his
grandson. On the opening of the body
' the opinions of the Duke's physicians
were fully confirmed; one lobe of the
iungs was nearly gone; and,while the ster
num was that of a mere child, the intes
tines presented all the appearance of de
crop id age.
As he laid on fits bier, his resemblance
to his father, that resemblance so striking
’ iu'the cradle, became once more remark
able. ‘it might have been detected in,
!ife,4>ut the Bowing blond hair of his Aus
trian mother, and bistall form, would,
naturally mask the resemblance. His
manner was graceful and elegant—-the ex
pression of -his countenance somewhat
sad; he was reset ved till he fancied he
had firund e ; friend, when he became con
fidential, comunicativn, and even enthu
siastic. He appears to have’been univer«
sally'beloved; no one can recollect an of
• ferfee—much less an injury; he was full of
I kindness and consideration for every one
about him. But one passion appears to’
have been developed—that of military
ambition. The present with him was
but a prepara'ionpn fact, he lived in-a fu-‘
, tare, which for him was never arrivb.
-Locking at the interests ofto Europe, it
is impossible to regret his death; looking
at himself, it is impossible not to feel a
'great interest in bis life; hftd, in truth,
his various qualities and dispositions
been more generally known during his
yboth, it is very probable, that the popu
lace of France would have more deeply
1 Sympathised in his fate. He was never
regarded otherwise than as fe fils de Vho
mme, and as such lei him rest; a last vic-
■ i-im to tho turbulent ambitijn of his own
father.
r The Journal of Commerce enters into
a curious and not unuseful calculation to
show the amount of imported ardent spir
its consumed in this country, ft shows
that enough has been brought into the
■country since the beginning of 1790, to
fill a canal from New York to Trenton,
Hur feet deep and twenty wide. Nay,
after filling a Canal of thdke dimensions,
and sixty miles long, our contemporary
shows that there will be a surplus quanti
ty of rum, to 4he extent of 25 millions of
gaHons and upwards—quite sufficient for
the purpose to which it is proposed to ap
propriate P, “to provide against leakage
and the draughts of the boatmen?*
The schedule which the Journal of
Commerce publishes is worth a place in
the newspapers, as it contains information
which could not be otherwise obtained
without considerable trouble, and which
mav be useful for various purposes. It is
here subjoined

A new work has just been published at
Cincinntti, entitled. The Lite and Ad
ventures of Col. David Crockett, of
West Tennessee? it is spoken of as be
ing a very amusing affair, containing, as
theauction crier would say, ‘a variety of
ludicrous anecdotes of the eccentric
Member ft om Tennessee. The follow
is extracted from the book.
the Col’s first winter in Wash

brought to the city and exhibited —Large
crowds attended the exhibition; and

for a ten dollar bill, and the Zebra may

created some fun, and”! then went to an
other part of the room, where a monkey
was riding a pony. I was looking on,
and some member said to me, ’Cmcketf,

‘No,’ said 1, ‘but I’ll tell you who it

The mechanics of Philadelphia appear
to be endowed wi h almost miraculous in
genuity—and they are backed in by u
very enthusiastic set of editors. We men
tioned a day or two ago the rapturous ap
plause bestowed by the United States
Gazette upon a newly invented shad roas
ter. The Philadelphia Chronicle now
announces a Sadie, “s<» tastefully designed
and so finely finished, so graceful in ap
penraneb, and so sound in substance,” that
it is calculated not only to accommodate
but to delight “both the animals between
whom it is to be placed,” We should have
supposed that the edi'or alluded to a sad
dle of venison, to be placed between two
hungry aidermen—but he promises, here
after, to give a description of the Hridle.
Now there are many bits belonging to
such a saddle—but no bridle.

has been much discussion Lately in
themewspapers as to the propriety of tbe
practise recently sidopied by some, of
publishing a daily list of the names of per
sons arriving in the respective cities, A
New-York paper justly remarks that the
true ground upon which to consider the
subject is, that the information “is by no
means of importance adequa’e to the space
which it must’occupy”—to which we may
add, nor of the trouble whicjijt would oc
casion. As to the violation «/f the rights
of privacy, it is one which would probably
flatter more than it displeased. An ac
curate daily list of departures would be
considered far more objectionablo by
some.— Baltimore Gazette.

The Lord of the isle steamer here tins
forenoon from Vigo, with several pas
sengers, and by her we have received full
confirmation of lhe hews rbldtive to an at.
tempt, on tbe 4ih inst. on the part of
Don Miguels forces 10 take the F<>z, and
of their being repelled wi’h considerable
loss. From conversation with some of
tbe passenger*, who left Oporto on the
9th, We learn that Manlius had landed
400 troops, that agieat quantity of pro
visions ..ad also been landed. The ac
counts which they give of the sialo of
Oporle are by no means s<> gloomy as had
been represented in the London papers.
Although a scarcity of fresh provisions
h:t<i been much felt, yet there were at
least sufficient supplies of fish, s; It meat,
rice, and Oil, for three months subsistence.
In fine weather the landing of provisions
from vessels off Oporto could be effected
without difficulty, particularly at night.—
The Lord of the Isles left Vigo on the
27'h, at whitih time the squadron of Admi
ral Sartorius was lying there. Tbe dis
satisfaction which bad prevailed had, in
a great measure, subsided, and the ships
were in the most effective state, and on
ly waited the settlement ofthe weather
id proceed to sea.
it appears to be the decided opinion
of those who came from Oporto in ’his
steamer that it is quite impossible for Don
Miguel to take Oporto ; and on the other
hand, that Don Pedro’s only chance of
success is by a well managed and vigo
rous attack on Miguel’s forces, for which
it is stated, active preparations were go
ing on.

The letter-writers froth Washington are al
ways making and unmaking Cabinets for the

Mr. Livingston is to lea?a ’he Department o’

that Mr. Wm, I Duane of Philadelphia, is to
take Mr. McLane’s plftce in the Treasury. As
to Mr. Forsyth, says one of them, apparently
with a little chuckling, “he is not in contem
plation for any department.” It is probable the
last is the only noth in their conjectures. Mr.
Forsyth is too important a man in the Senate ot
the United States to transfer his services to eny
other theatre of usefulness at present. He is
Unquestionably the most efficient friend of the
Administration in that bddy. This is the cause,
and not tlie insinuated want of respect and con
fiitflDce in the Head of the Government, which
keeps Mr. Forsyth in his present station.
The President of the United States has offi

Consul of his Majesty the King ot the Two Sici

There has been recently a destructive Fire in
Montreal, in which the “ British American Ho

A Judge in Canada has decided that a man

on the Mississippi.
-Mr. Forsyth is not as fond of Public Dinners
as some other great men. He has declined al
so at Columbus an honor of this kind offered
hi nr by its citizens. We fear, good things do
not much abound among our friends in Musco
gee. They could not excite the least hunger in
Mr Clayton last summer—he would not even
smell their victuals, although they put on thelri’g
pot and the little one.
The following is the correspondence of the
‘tendered Fersyth Dinner:
