The following truly bcnutlful OJo to Washington was delivered before the Washington Light Infant ry, of Charleston, nt their anniversary celebration on the 22d February Inst, on which occasion the Rcpub lican Blues, and Chatham Artillery were present Am—Believe me, if all those, endearing young charms. Tbe Chief in a noble and patriot strife ! He wept for the blood that was shed, Would have shortened Ids own to have lengthen’d one life. Yet march'd over fields of the dead. And therefore is Washington's name still a charm With the bravest aud softest of earth, That is muttered alike in the battle’s alarm, And the pleasures and calm of the earth. How may we that beautiful union express, Of meekness and might in bis fame— , The glories of war and the trophies of peace, So lnstiugly link’d with his mum: I No Monuren could front the durk glance of a foe. With u brow so undaunted anil bold, No wonmn could weep with a tenderer woo, O’er the ills he could only behold. Oh Strangers I oh Brothers I who join us to-day, front no distant or alien strand, . ItiB tityo should come in that niartialarray, Ho was born to direct and command. For a warrior died, when our hero laid cold, Witli tbe darkness of death in his eyes, As stern as the liangbticst soldier of old, Who has fought for the world ns a prize. Still, still the nwurd9 of ills spirit most denr, Andos worthy os denr, be assured, Aro the tokens and signs which around youi appear, Of the pence which lie loved and secured. For still in the darkest and gloomiest strile, No erring ambition was shown, The wish ot ids soul and the aim of his life, Was freed cm, nnd freedom alone. From the Fete Orleans Delta.

Tlie last number of tho Nation contains a lotter lrom P. J. O’Donohne, one of the Irish exiles, dated “ Hobert Town, Vim Diemen's Land, January 12, 1850," which among other things sliows that the political convicts, w ith the exception of Smith O’Brien, are not treated with much severi ty. The letter, however, states that tlie Govern ment there still continues to treat P-mitli O’Brien with great cruelty nt Marin island. Ho is closely confined, and all letters to und from him intercepted; but he hears it all like a treat man, without a mur mur. All the exiles are iii good health.

Tho papers North aud Mouth arc filled with rumors of tlie movements nnd designs of tlie Cuban invaders. The Washington correspondent of the New York Express says the Spanish Minister tins presented the subject of the invasion of Cuba to President ’Tay lor, who immediacy issued orders to the Gulf Squadron to prevent it if possible. Tho writer adds “ i have seen n letter to-day from Bridgeport (Rar- bndoes,) from an official source which throws a flood of light upon theJiKameuvres of tlie so-called Cuban Expedition. . If tlie statements in this letter lie true, this affair ia far more extensive and comprehensive than you are aware of, nnd so I think you will be ready to ac knowledge, ere long. The writer says: "Cuba, Barhadoes, Jamaica, und llnyti, are, beyond all manner of doubt, destined to change their rulers, nnd ere another letter from me may reach you, the terrible work (for terrible it will he) will have commenced. ” The New Orleans Franco American, asserts posi tivcly, thnt on Tuesday, the 14th of this month 111,000 men were to lnud in Cuba at three different points that hy preconcerted signals the inhabitants through out tlie island were to be made aware of their deliv erer’s nppronch, anil that the Cuban’s would iiumedi ntely fly to arms for tlie assertion of their indepeu dence. The ramifications of the plot are so exten sive, nnd at the same time so well concealed, even from the lynx-eyed vigilance of the Mpnnish uuthori ties, that failure is considered neurly impossible, But should it happen thnt tlie patriots do not givo the anticipated aid, should they prove recreant to their promises, flic adventurers linvo prepared for them a sale nnd speedy retreat, bo thnt even in tlie event of a want of success in their mnin object, their safety is secured. The Franco Americun says, more over, that not only the men, but money to carry out the enterprise, bus been raised in the United States, Six millions linve been expended in equipping the troops which have already sailed, nnd two millions more remain at the disposal of prominent citizens of New Orleans who are interested in the movement. Doubtless-ere this the attempt has been made, nnd tlie patriots arc crowned with easy victory or over whelmed witli defeat and disappointment. The Isa bel, which is due here this week, will bring us the first intelligence of the rosult. We find it difficult to justi fy the proceedings, so fur as our people are concern ed, and yet we would rather hear of success than dc feat. “ If it were done when tis done then 'twero well It were done quickly.

F BERNARD MALL0N. may 14 ^ Homan's Whim* or the Female Barometer. Translat ed from tbe French of X. B. Saiktink, by Fay ette Robinson. New York: Baker and Scrib ner. This is a short French Nouvelette with a rather long preface, dedicated to American Coquctts. We think may safely recommend it to the eex generally, us a pleasant and instructive satire History of Cyrus the Great. By Jacob Abbot. New York: Harper &. Brothers. Another of Abbot’s populnr volumes for youth. The life of the illustrious Persian King is given with all its romantic and traditionary interest; but while tlie author hns managed to preserve the color ing and embellishment of the early biographers so as to attract and win the attention of his youthful read ers, he hns taken care so to guide their understand ing as to enable them to judge between the fiction and the fact. As initiatory books of history, or even as text books in school, for which they were designed, this series are of great utility. The vol umes are handsomely illustrated with fine engravings. Library of Select Hovels. New York: Harper & Brothers. Zanoni. By Sir E. Bulwer Lytton. Night and Morning. By tlie same author. The Maid of Orleans, a romantic chronicle. By the author of “Whitefriars.” The two first of these romances, ore well known to the reuding public. The fact that the latter has been incorporated in tho “Library” by tlie Harpers, will be a sufficient recommendation to insure it cur rency.

We huve before called the attention of the scientific and mechanical public to this Dictionary. It may justly be said to be invaluable to practical men, while it is instructive and useful to all who desire to make themselves acquainted with the theory and principles of the mechanic arts and sciences that are, , in this age, working such wonders in the physical world.
