God of die mighty deep! wherever now
The waves beeertU thy brasen axles bow—
Whether thy strongproud atceds, wind-wing d *nd
Trample the »lorm-vex'd waters round them piled,
Swift as the light .log-flashes. that reveal
The quick gyra ionsofcach brateu wheel;
; While round and under thee, with hideous roar,
The broad Adamic, with thy scourging sore,
Thundering, like antique Chaos in his spasms,
In heaving mountains, and deep-yawning chasms,
- Fluctuates endlessly t while through the gloom.
Their glossy sides and thick mnnrs fleck d with fo*m,
Career thy steeds, neighing with frantic glee
lu tierce response to the tumultuous sea—
Whether thy courser© now career below,
Where, amid norm wrecks, hoary sea-plants grow,
IIroad-leaved, and fanning with oceasrle** motion
Th* pale cold tenants ofthe abysmal ocean—
Oh, come! our altars waiting for thee stand,
Smoking with incense on the level strand!
Perhaps thou lettest now tbv horses rosin
Upon some quiet plaint no wiod-tos# d foam
Is now upon their limbs, but leisurely
They tread with silver feet the sleeping sea,
Panning the waves with slowly floating manes
Like mist in sunlight: Haply, ailver strains
From clamorous trumpets round thy rnannt nog.
And green-roh d sea-gods unto thetf, their king.
Chant, loud in praise: Apollo now doth gaxa
With loving looks upon thee, and UU raya
Light up thy steeds’ wild eyes: A pleasant warm

As idly as his wont, and bright eye* peep

Perhaps thvu lies ton some ludiau Ule -
Under a waviug tree, where many a mile
Stretches a sunny shore, with golden sands
Heap’d op in tiianv shapes by Naiad’s hands,
And, blushing as the waves come rippling on,

A Rkvolotiosakt Pensioner, Os e Ucndrzo
Years or Aok.—So rare an instance of longevi
ty has induced the writer of the following to give
a abort history of the life and habit* of Una ven-
crable soldier nnd patriot, which i* furnished
flout his own lips. Sergeant Lemuel Winches*
ter wo* horn Mny 13th, 1740, «t Tewkesbury,
Middlesex county, iu this State, and now resides
itt North Dourer*. When on infant he was remo*
u county of Norfolk,where
‘t venrofhUnge; he then
a he worked in n tan-yard
0 took place between the
French aud English^ at 19 he enlisted as* soldier,
and marched for Cro^n Point; went ns far «•
Albany and received news of Uto defeat of the
English by tbe FwncKt teUtUig, be passed through
the interior of New Yhrk to a place called Schen
ectady, whence he went with die army by watei
U» the Lakes,where in the summer they destroy-
•d an Indiana village who were lit the. French
service, After this campaign he returned to
Massachusetts. The next spring he enlisted in
Cunt. Jonathan Crewer's company of American*,
and muclied to Cnnadu. He was in the gallant
army of Englis'-t and Pi ovincial* under the com
mand ofGelierai Wolfe, sod was at the siege and
battle of Quebec, were Wolfe fell. Ill the mouth
of November he returned to his native State.
The Next spriug.m* he says, “not having lighted
unnngh," he enlisted under Capt. Whitney, of
Rowley, to seive in Upper Canada, but when
he got there, there was nofightiog to do. The
English sad Americans were so superior in force
that the French yielded without n struggle.
At the dose of tint old French war lie returned
to Massachusetts, and spent the summer. He
nays from this time to the commencement of the
war ofthe Revolution, (about 15 years) he ulter-
(lately resided iu Massachusetts and NeW-Hamp-
shire, occupied in tilling the soil. But at the
time ofthe battle of Lexiflgtau and Concord, he
was at Amherst, in Nnw-nampshire, where he
stalisled in Capt. Crosby’s company, and tunrcii
«d to Bunker Hill, where he shared the glory of
the fight. At the close of the campaign he re
lumed to Amherst. Mr. Winchester was op*
pointed riergeunt at that lime. After this lie save
he was out once more three months, in the course
•f which be had •* another brash with the regu
lar*." From tirnt time until lie was 97 years of
age, he worked ott-Uie soil for his living. For
the lust three years, by reason uf a stiffness in his
joints, he w*juj*t‘lible to toil. His health for the
most purtdf his life has been remarkably good.
He bus never been troubled with a physician or
medicine, but ouce in his life, and that was at Iho
ugeof'20, when he hud a alight fever. His ap
petite throughout life, has been good; his diet
has been good substantial, farmer’s fare. He
Iu* been, until r^lhln « fow years, what used to
he called a temperate drinker. For the lust seven
0*We fished out from our Tin Box tho oth
er day, some lines written by on unknown bond
over the signature of “ Edgar," addressed to a
young Indy of Philadelphia. They are not desti
tute of feeling, but we cannot publish them, ns
we should not do so without reviewing them with
severity. They are not poetry—but all is jingle
and most unhaimonioii* jingle at that. The ideas
nre natural nnd pretty, but the expression of them
involved and absurd. The versification is most
lame and halts wofully; and in abort it does not
even approach the distinction of being fair rhythm.
We spare the better judgment then of friend
“ Edgar" and our other readers in suppressing
them. If we should publish them it would only be
in order to read theauthoralectareon the enormity
and sill of inflicting upon the wot Id Ilia heartaches
iu tim shape nf detestable verses. Let him read Al
bert Pike’s Hymns for the fiftieth time, study the
Latin authors, Byron, Scott,&e. before he makes
such hold attempts in future. . The true poetical
furor, the “thoughts that brtulhe and tcvrdt that
bum" have not been conferred by an indulgent
Providence on the writer. If therefore h« ambi-
tiovr himself (as the French «ay) to write verses
to his, Lady Love, lie should out of pure respect
to her study hard in order to make them accepts,
ble. For perchance she may be a good judge
of these* tilings, aud bad poetry has been kuowti
under similar circumstances to perpetrate much
mischief.
“ Edgar" is evidently laboring nnder the inspi
ration of tiie belle passion, must desperately love
sick. He will find alas! that absence, occupa
tion and good suppers, will effuce the intensity nf
the impression, aud rough contact withjhe world
fmtii often been known to .obliterate every*ves
tige ofsuch feeling, but that such will nut be the
case in the preseut instance we firmly believe.
Mr. Edward Everett has somewhere said that
once during a lifetime, every one is snbject to a
fit of writing (so called) poetry, much in the same
way a* one has an attack of the measles, tho
whuoping cough, aud other diseases incident to
young persons. “Edgar" is evidently going
through this stage of existence at preseut. and we
wish him w ell through it.
For tiie consolation of “ Edgar" we will state
that we ourself have gone through a similar
stage of mental infirmity, under the influence of
which we produced for tim admiration of kind
friends, some lines which, were absolutely detest
able, quite beneath contempt; so that in this re
gard “ Edgar" and onrsdf nre on tiie same level,
when compared with those whom God hoa stamp
ed a* poets. The only important difference be
tween “ Edgar’s" effusion nnd our own is, that
v»*» spelt the King's English right, llelias not
done so.

REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.
We suggested, a few days since, that the mere
prostration of Vail Burenum, was hut the initia
tory step loan overthrow ofthe disastrous experi
mental policy of the lute Administration, and a
return to well-tried nnd stable measures. We
confined ourselves, however, ti> those prominent
questions, on which Mr. Van Boren rashly staked
his political success, and ha*so signully Inst. But.
since tho motto nf the new Administration is
" our country nnd reform." there are other ques
tions, not uf acontested character, in the fur
therance of which—so manifestly are/they emi
nently connected with the good of the whole pco*
pie—so incapable of affording material fordivL
sion.or party strife—nil may unite, in gratifying
harmony. Among these, and one of the chief, is
the reduction of Postage. Let as dwell upon tho
point for a few moments.
It is unnecessary, in tiie first place, to ndrncnte
thn point, that the receipts of the Pest Olfico
should never be looked upon as a branch of public
revenue, for thn general purpose* of Govern
ment ; for, it is unanimously conceded that they
should be opplied, exclusively, to tiie umiiiten*
once of the Post Office Department. So soon
as this object, then, is achieved, surplus receipts
ere objectionable, and should be returned to the
pockets of those upon whom the tux lias been
laid for their production. Now, provided, by a
diminution of the tax, the desirable result can be
as miccessfully achieved, it is manifestly a duty in
Government to efl'ect the cluingo as speedily as
possible. Fur wlmt is the bearing of our present
enormoK* rates ofpostage.iu the broadest view f
It is not similar to the levy ufeitsloms on imports,
or u tax on properly: for these ure actual pos
sessions. But the rates of postage constitute n
tax on knowledge—on the. means of possession, und
on thn nflectipns. On knowledge, for how great

the communication of busines* men with each
other, bus, in the great majority of in nos, a refer

fluence tire employment of capital for the attain

tend to obstruct the freedom of such communica
tion, which should, on tiie contrary, rcccivo every
encouragement and facility; and on tiie affec
tions—for tiie anxious enquiries und replies of
love ere repressed and limited by the conflict
with inability to gratify them. This latter con*
sideration, too, weigh* with especial power, upon

In 1830,’31, tho Tobacco exported from New
Orleans amounted tu 34,957 hluis. In 1839, '40,
the quantity was 28,028 liluls.; indicating a de
crease of 0,940 liluls. At un Intermediate period
tween tho two years just mentioned thn export
of tobacco was greater than lor either of them;
the quantity exported in 1835. '30, heing 43,941
lihda. The greatest purt of the Tobacco has al
ways been shipped coustwise.
The exportation of Sugar from New Orleans
to various ports, amounted in 1835, '36, to 5,077
liluls. and 3,138 barrels; iu 1839, '40, to 45,511
lihds. nnd 5,978 barrels. The increase for this
toriod was 39,834 hhds. and 2,840 barrels. Tho

The greatest part of tiieso tw o articles was ship

Nnw-Orleans, ns well ns the other great cities
ofthe Union, mny now look forward to a period
of unusual prosperity. The establishment of
sound principles uf finance, the introduction into
the government of able statesmen, who under
stand tiie genius of the country and who will de
vote titein»elvps to the fostering of her interests,
must tend to give new confidence to business
men, and therewith a new impulse to activity nnd
enterprise in nil tiie departments of industry and
trade. The increase that has taken place in the
commerce of New-Orlcans, as indicated by the
statistics above given, advanced through many dif
ficulties and in spite nf depressions and discour
agements. The tabular stataiuenlsof the lust ten
years will form nn criterion by which to estimate
the progression ofthe tenyeurs next to come.

THE COTTON CROP.
It is important that a few facts should ha plac
ed before our renders in reference to the present
crop. There is u universal belief at the Mouth
that the supply of Cotton thi*)*ar will he less
than thut ol the last, uud uumug the planters it is
confidently affirmed thut tim crop will he less
titan for several year-*. We ourselves incline to
this lu*i opinion. It will be uaked, then, if such
he the case, why hns not tim price risen! We
answer, tin: market bus not yet felt the deficien
cy,und in truth, to tim exporters und consumers
of cotton, the fiict of deficiency is not yet appa
rent. They will not trmiblo themselves iu ad
vance, however much the planters may und must,
when they see one bull' their storehouses empty.
The iii.iiiiifucturers feel it not, hecuuse tho old
stock m timir seaport* is very large, considerably
more tiinn it was lailyeur, uud they have besides
been tempted by tho tow price of tho article, to
lay by considerable in advance of their consump
tion.—Tha troubled coAditiou of Europe, ren
dering it ba/.nr<tous to depend ou tim continu
ance of peaceable commercial relations; tiie in-
creiisii of taxes and the absorption of vast sums
of money in public lounslbr wurhkepreparations,
havehuii no iittlo influence in checking, iiinnit-
fac tu res, by increasing tim demand for iiiuimy,
and huve added panic to the actual restraint* ou
business. The consumption would undoubted
ly (m considerably less then iu quieter times.
The exporters ot Cotton luive nut yet feltany
deficiency. The stuck on hand on tim 1st Octo
ber 1640, in all the Bouthurn porlsand New York
and Fhiludelphiii, was 61000 bales—same timu iu
1639, it was 43,650. The receipts since Ihnt, by
the latest prices current, in New Orleans, Mobile,
Georgia und riouth Carolitiu, havuhceti 13d.(JU0
hales—same time last year only 125,300. The
entire supply in tho unirkot, then, since the 1st
Oct,, has been 20,000 halo* greater than for Um
name period of Inst your, when the crop was the
greatest ever known. There ii besides this, llm
further aud important fact that tho Southern banks
are generally preparing to resiium cash pay-
mcnterwhicii cun never lie done without some
what increasing tiie value aud tiie demand lor
lunuey.
Wo trust wo have fully accounted for all tho
present depression in the Cotton market, and it
now behof.vcs ua to account for tho opinion we
confiden ly express thut the supply of the year
wifi be seriously doficiom. The mere fuel of a
certain quantity of cotton coining caily lo market,
proves notiiing us to what remains behind. A
short crop is snuu prepared for market, and for
that very reason is likely to arrive early. If tho
planter hna but little to sell, the necessity will
be greater to realize the proceeds of (lint little ns
The D'JIanlville Case.—'TW* enso, which hn*
created such a sensation in the fashionahlo world
forsonm mouths past, was decided by tho Judges
ofthe General Session, Messrs. Barton, Conrad,
nnd Doran, on Saturday font. The parties hav
ing assembled in court, Judge Barton proceeded
to read the written opinion of the court. In it
he took u view fiflhb prim ipnl points of tim
evidence offered, commenting in proper terms
upon each. In tho course of his remarks, he
paid a just tribute to the conduct of Mrs. Sears,
who instead of wishing to bring tho husband and
wife into collision, endcnvnrcd by every means
in her power to soothe and reconcile them, fre
quently enduring rudeness and even insult. He
adverted to the intoned affection shown by Mrs.
D.Haiitville for her infant, and noticed tho opin
ion of tiie physicians who had delivered tlteir
evidence before the court, ns In the expediency
nf removing the child to a colder climate, it being
Mr. p'HtmWillc's expressed intention, should Im
obtain possession nf it, to return inunediatly tu
Switzerland. He also spoke of its tender age
and sickly condition ns demanding those enres
and attentions which none but u mother can hes-
low, and after adducing mimerous authorities in
support the opinion which tiie court had-formed,
adjudged that the child should he delivered iuto
the charge und possession of its mother.
Inquest after nearly thirty years.—Wednesday
nn inquest whs held in the parish church of Fan-
net, county ofDnnepil. to investigate the citcitm-
stances connected with the dentil nfo femnla found
in Ballikinurd hog. It appeared from the evi
dence that while some men were occupied culling
turf on Friday evening, 21st ult. they discovered
the body, dressed in n dark stuff gown and Him- t,on, •
ncl petticoat, with a scarlet handkerchief tied
round the head. The body was in u slate nf tho
