SONG.
The following song was written for the
Dinner to Lafayette, on Saturday
Am—“ Marseilles Hymn.”
When thy banner, O Liberty! was stream
ings
Its folds wildly lashing the gale ;
When thy blade brightly, fiercely, was
gleaming,
And tyrant s shrank bloodless and pale ;
Who o’er the field when horrors surrounded,
When victory and glory nigh,
Nerv’d the arm and fir’d the eye,
Hireling slaves with terror confounded,
And they fell, they fell beneath
The avenging arm of death ?
Lafayette! Lafayette! hail Lafuyette!
Our glorious Lafayette.
When fainting, weary, uncomplaining,
Naked, bleeding, freedom’s son,
March’d to battle, pain disdaining.
Glorious fought and glorious won;
Who stanch’d the wounds all wet and gory,
Cloth’d the naked, dried the tear
Of beauty, lingering o’er the bier,
Where bravery slumber’d, wrapt in glory?
The youthful hero stood,
The minister of good—
Lafayette! Lafayette! hail Lafayette!
Our hero Lafayotie.
Sons of Sires, now in glory descended,
Whose warm blood freely smok’d on
the plain,
The lov’d land which their valor defended,
Their brother revisits again :
Shall aught from our souls e’er displtce
them ?
N«»! their wounds afresh would bleed,
Their ghosts would curse 1 he seed.
That, degenerate and base would disgrace
them.
Their spirits hover round
And catch the joyous sound—
Lafayette! Lafayette! hail Lafayette!
Our father Lafayette!
Patriot Hero ! Tyrants, trembling,
Murder, rapine, ou their brow,
Their hireling slaves assembling,
Tliy destruction daring vow ;
Wilt thou leave then thy children, despising
The ire of the despot and slave,
And swords and daggers bruve,
O’er danger over proudly rising?
Hear, hear, our fervent prayer.
The tiger tempt not in his loir—
Lafayette! Lafayette! hail Lafayette!
Our homes are thine Lafayette.
And shall they,dare they,e’er oppress thee,
Pat riot, father of tlio free !
Or with vile chains again depress thee,
Champion, chief, of Liberty J
No ! By freedom’s altors flaming,
By the blood for glory shed,
By the great., the glorious dead,
Who fell, the rights of man proclaiming—
• Shall vnngence fall upon
The lov’d of Washington?
Lafayette ! Lafayette ! we swear,
we swear to die,
For Liberty and Lafayette !

The advance on the 10th and 11th was 1-4
to 3-8d per lb. above the prices of t he pre
ceding week. The trade were the princi
pal buyers—speculators took about 2000
bales of Upland. In the last three days the
demand has been very animated, the sales
from the 12th to this evening being 16771,
hags ami include 4f>95 Uplands, at 8} to 12d

10 days in Sea-Islands. Nearly half of the
purchases this week, are by speculators.—
The improvement of late is attribute d to ac
counts recently received from Bombay that
the crops of Sn rats is likely lo prove not
more than half what was expected. FsX-
tensive purchases have been made in Lon
don at an advance, in consequence of this
information. The import from the United
States continues moderate, and the trade
are more and more convinced that it will
not exceed the quantity imported Inst year,
and that the quality is inferior. Some are
sanguine of much higher prices.
