These lines, from Spencer, have been jiictnred upon the canvas, by Mr. Allston with the fine fancy and vriacity of the pu wtt who wrote them; and the.action is re presented in n stene, tliat combine* all that is beautiful and lovely in nature.-— The picture is nearly four feet in height wind three in breadth,-and contains three flgures only:—Florimell in the tore ground mid two. knights in armour, in the back ground;—the rest is filled up wrth the landscape. The principal figure of course, is Florimell, upon her-white palfrey, rich / ly capsrisflned and at full speed. She sets a little forward of the centre of the saddle, ,1iec left hand vigorously drawing jt*n; rein, white her right is placed on her palfrey's neck and. partly concealed in his •ruffling marie.' Her body of course is thrown back,-and balanced with great spi rit and grace. Her face is turned towards, the wood from which she has jusc issued •with a strong expression of fearful anxiety, Her gulden hairfioats upon her shoulder, intertwined with the light drapery which -doubles back from the rapidity ot motion, ludeed every circumstance about her mirks the “hurried flight with feaf com bined.” It is seen in the energy and vi- •vacity of the palfrey—in the disposition of his trappings—in the attitude** ad floating drapery of Florimell-—in (he cascade which gleams in the wood, and hastening on, divides -the foreground—it is almost felt in the air which is put in motion bv this swiftness of flight.—The two knights, in armour, on the left «f the picture, are teen in the background, reining in their Bleed*,-whil.e one of tnem is pointing out Florimell totheother. The finely arching nocks of the horses.and the erect posture of the knights, mark the suddenness and Surprise of this pause, On the right, from the top, nearly to the bottom of the pic ture, Is the wood in almost unbroken sha daw—on the left, a breadth of light, witn foliage, clear blue sky, and-white clouds —but the whole harmonized with .each natural gradntihiis as to detain the eve. wheretjer.it falls, with unfailing delight.

OX ALLITERA TION IX VERSE. a* kihseWaio. , Alliteration* is an edge tool in the poet’s liand, improving or injuring his verse, as ft is judiciously or injudiciously used.— ffomc, Virgil, Ovid,‘Spencer, Milton, and .mil the best poets, have employed it to ad- mirable-effect; and to admirable effect has Dr- Darwin frequently employed it. It «ften increases, and -sometimes entirely coMtitutes, that power, which.ty a me taphoric expression that literal terms •"Would neither so concisely nor so well ex- f law* is call e& picturesque sound. To in- reuse the harmony «f verse, alliteration 1 • AVt:eratUn.—The beginning of two or more with the hissing s, in two lines, which he meant should be peculiarly musical: -Thus, Softly sweet in Lydian measures, Soon Me sooth’d bis soul to pleasures. ^ ’ A foreign ear would not endure the lines; which however lively, are certainly not tender nor harmonious: vet the s, and all thc-hatsher consonants, are capable of producMg»by skilful application that “echo of sound to sense,” which i* eminently des irable in poetry. When Milton observes, in his Paradise Lost, So talk’d the spirit’d «ly snake, the line attains, solely by alliteration, the pvl-fect hiss of the serpent; and Pope, in his Homer, by a masterly intermixture of the vowels, and the sonorous conson ants, with his alliteration of the letter s, has nobly conveyed to our ear the peculiar noise of the ocean waves, when they are ioud on the beach: Thus, Silent hewander'd by the sounding main. Tile murmer of a calm sea has bten well expressed by the alliteratiuu of the follow- ing line: Slow on the d*mp and shelly shore she stray’d. There is somewhere aline, in which a po-ttastvr, mentioning the violet, says, Where blue it blooms with balmy brcaih. He thought he had hammered out an im ■nensely liue verse, th.ugh in fact it is to the ear no whit more agreeable than Three blue beany in one blue bladder. * The letters b and p make miserable alli teration. Milton has used the harsh le(. ter r to very fine effect in the folioning lines: Vex’d SeylU, battling in the sea tha? pa-ts Calabria irom die boar.-e Tfinacrian shore. Dr. Deal tie, in His charming Minstrel, has so used alliteration, as t-i prodnee two <>f the most h&rmouiuus verses in our Ian- guage. Young Edwin, lighted by die evening star, Lingering and liste rung wandered down the vale. I have thus made some remarks on the use or abuse of that habit of style which strengthens or enfeebles, adorns or mis- becomes the verse, as the good o.- bad taste of the writer shall direct its application — Churchill has ridiculed alliteration in a ^rst> the Ghent Journal, SUtVARROJV. ‘ A Russian biographical account of So- warro w contains some singular and curi ous details. Tho’ the general cruelty of massacres of Ozakdff, Ismailoff, and Praga f where 60,000 Poles are said to have been sacrificed to his vengeance) yet he some* times showed a more peculiar ardor of fe rocity. To the French in particular, he bore a sort of fanatical hatred—a rage ol detestation. A proof of his passion was even exhibited in exercising his men. In commanding there to make a charge with the bayonet, they Were to understand his direction in three different ways, accord- ing to the nation which they were suppos ed lo corebat. -When'he gave the word “march against the Prussians,’’they charg ed straignt forward* with the promt of the bayonet—“against the Poles,” they rapid ly repeated the thrast—“against the execra ble French,” they turned round their bayo nets after.the second thrust to enlarge the. wound. Original in'■every thing, and even aff-ctirg originality, this semi-barbarian sometimes appeared wrapped up in sheep skins like-a Cossack, and at other times was covered with crosses, with badges of order*, and portraits which lie bad re ceived. These latter ornaments, joined to his little grim countenance, and his lank figure, gave him more tho appearance of an Ital ian sharlutf.n than thn.general o ( an army. 11 though he gave the world reason to sus pect his sanity, yet, from sharing their danger-.;, their fatigues, and their frugal fare i'-e eras always the idol ot the soldier*. The anecdote of hi* quelling a mutiney among Ins troops in crossing the Alps is we!! known. Hi* soldiers, overwhelmed with fatigue?;and dispirited with hardships, no longer obeyed his voice, or observed their usual discipline. Reordered a ditch to be dug, and Btretching himself in it, cried cut t» his mutinuus soldiers, “cover me up with earth, your geueral desires hereto be interred, since you abandon-hire.” They ail threw themselves at his feet, and followed him with devotion and enthusi asm.

Dr. S ha* but obeyed the constitution of hio country, per haps without recollecting its provision.— No person holding any office of profit or trust under them,shall, without the consent of congress, accept of any present, emolu ment, office or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince or foreign state.” U S.

Duns. Co—Iths with mingled feelio®*of pride and p easure th.at'l hand you for publication the following little anecdote, communicated tome by one of our distinguished naval officers, just arriv ed from the Mediterranean. When tho Franklin T4 was laying off Naples, (he emperor and empress of Aus tria, and tIte -kin" of Naples expressed a desire to visit the ship; and were according ly received on an appointed dav, with all the honors due to th*ir exalted stations.— A royal salute tra« fired, the yards manned, and the boatswains piped their majesties on board one of the finest ships in the world. Nothing was spared by our gallant ummander to render the visit of hi* impe rial and royal guests agreeable, and they ex pressed in the most undisguised manner the pleasure they felt at their reception, and their amazement at a scene which, to their imperial majesties especially, was so entirely novel. An unfortunate accident, however, interrupted the pleasures »f the i lay. The chamberlain of the empress fell down the main hatchway and broke his leg; which, however, was immediately set, on' he spot, in the most skilful and satisfactory manner, by tbesurgeon of the ship, Dr. Sal ter. This unfortunate event of course caused great JenI of anxiety; and as soon as the chamberlain was placed in a litter, their majesties accompanied him on shore. The next day the emperor sent Dr. Salter a purse containing one hundred doubloons, (fifteen hundred dollars) which, however, was promptly returned by that gentleman, with a note stating his reasons for so detog, which were simply, that “he was an Ame rican officer, and^had done nothing bat his duty.” The astonishment of the emperor at this unlooked for return, was excessive; but he could not but openly express bis admiration of the independence ot charac ter displayed by the American surgeon.— His courtiers, however, were thunder struck. “To return the present of an emperor. Stnta Maria.' and 100 doubloons too!” And .they held up their hands in ad miration of an act which they had never heard of before, and which they felt they could net imitate. It is by such as these, that wo may er- pect our national character to be establish ed abroad. A naval victory may make us feared—but this victory, if I may so term it, must make us respected and esteemed; and cannot fail to shed additional lustre on (From the New-Haven Herald, August 10 ] XOBJ.E ACT.

The wind blew fresh,and the unhappy parents beheld agony tlieit only son <Ai the brink of elrrni ly, without one ray ot hope that he could be rescued. Ill this distressing moment, while the vessel was passing tepidly ’’.rough the water, the helmsman, Joseph Stevens, sprang from the quarter dick, committing himself to'the waves, with tht noble resolution of saving the infant or perishing in.the attempt. He seized the child as it was sinking, and held him above water to convince the Wretched parents that he was still alive. The packet by this time had left them ab-'Ut ha!) a mile, and was with much difficulty rounded to Capt. Beecher immediately manned his boat and pushed to their assistance. Just as he reached them, poor Joe’s strength was exhausted, and he sunk, leaving the child to its fate. Capt.

The apparent unhealthiness of this sea son requires every »ne whose employment confines him to town, to taka the great est care of himself, by avoiding exposure to those cau-e* which induce bilious dis orders. The means by which we can avoid them, are simple enough—but require sumo self-denial and piudence. I will not undertake to show the unheal- thincss of docks, dirty streets,gutters, etc These things are self-evident, and are un der the care of the poliee—my observa tions are personal, i. e. they are addressed to each individual who reads this paper,on his own immediate health, and the means of preserving it. As far as possible, exposure to sun should be avoided—and when unavoidable, we shouldendeavortoperform our duties in an uniform and regular manner, with as lit tle excitement of inind and of body as pos sible; or, as the vulgar say, cool and easy. Our foud should, be well cooked, and with moderate seasoning—vegetables well boil ed or prepared are very proper; and among other things I recommend the moderate use of the tomates. Fruit perfectly ripe is not only innocent, but salutary, wheunot eat en to excess. And here let me advise din* mg on good plain soups two or three times a week. Fer those that can afford it. no drink is preferable to weak punch.' Pure water will notsatisfv the thirst alo>e,as well as when combined with some tliiug acid or spiritu- ous. The only thing to be avoided is using spirituous drink too strong or in too great quantities. With me claret disagrees.*-* Zanesville, ’(Ohio,) August 4. At the court of common pleas for Wash- ington-county, which commenced at Mar ietta, on Monday, the 12th ult. Robert Har*. rison was convicted ot counterfeiting bank bills and of making an apparatus for coun terfeiting coin. He was sentenced to the awful punishment of receiving good board ing and lodging, in the methropodis of the state, for six years, for the first mentioned offence and one year for the latter. Also, Benjamin 8. Bartlett and Garret Fitsgerald- were sentenced, each, for two iclmleyears, the former for passing counterfeit money and the latter for grand larceny. They have been waited on to their elegant and commodious habitation, and their escort returned through this town, homeward bound, on Thursday last. A few days previous, three citizens were gallanted. through here, from Harrison county, who were destined to the same boardin'- house for having counterfeited and passed bank notes, and we hear of many other probable candidates from different parts of the state. Our penal la ws and regulations arc sub jects which require the most serious deli beration and most candid investigation and the enquiry ought, to be—li'hat is the most efficient weans of preventing crimes? AVe see crioies of almost or quite evety description multiplying upon us in an alarming degree; and we do candidly be lieve it is owing to a want of adequate se verity in our criminal code, and a suffi cient promptitude in inflicting those mild punishments which the laws have provid ed. And still the community feel dispos ed to commiserate the condition ot those criminals whose condition is actually bene- fited, in many instances, by tiie infliction ol these imaginary punishments. The poor, honest laborer has to endure theinclemen- cy of the weather, sometimes hunger, and occasionally other privations, together with a constant anxiety for his future subsis tence; whereas the fancied rigor of (he law shelters the convicts from the chilling blasts and provides him with comfortable lodgings and an ample support without the trouble of his thinking “what he shall do for the motrow.” We repeat, that tye believe the courts of criminal justice, In Ohio ind in the United States, generally, as alien confer rewards as punishments when they sentence men to those elegant and well furnished edifices called “State Prisons” or “Penitentiaries.” It is in vain in urge the loss of reputatiun as a punishment for the disgrace attaches to the commission of tfie-crime and not to the punishment which follows it. It isequal- -y futile to urge the confinement to nar row limits, as a punishment: for-the human mind lias a faculty of adapting itself to it* necessities and assimulating itself to its condition. Besides, the convict lias a host ot fellow associates whose situation is si milar to his own, and from which host he can select iiis particular and confi lentiai friends and choice companions. At any rate, we are unable to see any thing like adequate punishment for the enormity of the crimes for which t iese punishments are awarded. We are well aware thatTri are quite on the unpopular side of the question; but we only a»k those from w hom we have the misfortune to differ, to exa mine the facts and not rest their opinions on vague theory, and we invite them to shew the cause of the increase of crime's, if it be not owing to these above stated—at least, in a great degree, When it is known to be a frequent occurrence, that a con vict, wjien liberated from his confinement, not only leaves it with reluctance, but seeks the earliest opportunity of being sent back.

Some time . ago that noted Wretch, Mitchell, had begun to’practise that sort of robbery, arid had plundered, some Ves sels outside of the bar, but the presence'of a few small vessels of war., which commo dore Patterson 'had sent after him, had succeeded in driving him off. Now it is no longer Mitchell, but his worthy associ ates Irom Galv.'ztiah, who come even into, the Mississippi to plunder and butcher out citizens.

We do not know whether there are any vessels ot war'in the gulph,but the numerous and repeated acts of piracy committed there, would in duce us to doubt it. Our wish is by no means to censure tlre^* conduct of government on this occasion, out surely the'United States possess ves sels enough to protect their tcoasts and their Commerce.

Extract Of a letter from a passenger on board tbs ■Calypso, dated u J3alitc, July II. “About 5 o’clock yesterday evening, off the S. W. pass, we were boarded by. an armed boat with nine moil, {within a few hundred yards of several other vessels) who commenced plundering. They took from me all my money and clothes, also the money of another passenger, and some stores. Tney, however, did-not'behave altogether so ill xs might have been, ex pected. The captain of the galliot Fortu- na was robbed, as well as two or three American vessels, in sight of us, and I dare say the governor Griswold did notes* cape. ' v “It :s shameful that such offences should be committed in the rivpr, within a couple of miles of the block house, and no protec tion to be had from government veStels.” A letter from another passenger in the same vessel, gives the following additional particulars:—’* When they canie alongside, they had their firms concealed, so that we were completely surprised by them.—> When they were fairly on deck, each man took his station and commenced their wo; k of plunder, with afi much system as did ever Kid or Bla'ckheard. The orders ' were, nearly, to this effect; “Put yuuf ■ helm a port! shiver your main-topsail, and run up the jib.” “Then every matt including the roato and pilot, was driven j.ito the forecastle; while on'c of the pirates at the helm, head* ed the vessel up the river. Two melt were then stationed at the companion way. Mr. B. and myself were ordered in to tne cabin and to point out the trunks which contained cash. I mutt say they shewed some respect to a ludv on board (Mrs. W.) for although they said tho cash was mostly there (pointing to the state room where she was) they would nn{ mo lest her.
