“Sweetsabbath ofthe year!
While evening-lights decay.
Thy purling stupa inctliinks 1 hear
Steal from the world away !
Amid thy silent flowers
’Tis sad but sweet to dwell;
Where fulling loaves nnd drooping flowers
Around me brealho farewell.
Along thy sunset skies
Their glories melt in shade ;
And, like the things we fondly prize.
Seem lovelier us they fade.
A deep and crimson streak
Thy dying leaves disclose j
As uii consumption's waning check,
’Mid rum, blounis tho rose.
Thy scene each vision brings
Of beauty in decay;
Of fair ami curly faded things,
Ton exquisite lo stay :
Of joys that come no more ;
Of flowers whoso bloom is fled ;
Of farewells wept upon the shore j
Of friends estranged or dead ;
Of all chat mw may seem
To Memory’s tearful eye
The vanished beauty of u dream,
O’er which we gaze and sigh.”
From the Louisville, (Ky.) Focus.
Frightful {Statistics.—It oppears from
facts, gathered from tbo records of the city
clerk, tliul there have been no less (ban 135
taverns and tippling shops licensed in this
city, 8iuco,tlio HUli of lu6t March, where
they retail intoxicating liquors by the glass
and gill.
1 has also been ascertained, that from the
lowest to tbo highest grade of these houses,
they sell from ono up lo eleven und a hah
gallons per day ; it will be safe therefore to
calculate the average sales of each, when
taken in the aggregate, to be at least three
gallons per day.
It appears then, that tbe total amount of
anient spirits consumed in ibis city is 485
gallons per day ; 2,835 do. per week ; 12.318
no. per month ; 147,825 do. per year. This
inc.udes tbe simple at tides of braudr, rum,
gin and whiskey. Estimating brandy at $2
per gallon, rum and gin, at $2 50, aud whis
key 37 cents, it will be fur within hounds to
place the average cost ot 00 cents. There
is then expended m this city for intoxicating
liquors, $202 60 per day; $1,417 50 per
week; $6,169 37. per inoutn ; $73,912 6U
per year. Lei it also be remembered that a
great portion of this iu bought and drank at
n ‘ •; <• .. •»*.-. So.* *.*• i u- '*ri' f« u*' 1>
cost ot the whole to one uoliur per gallon,
and augments the annual expense for intoxi
cating liquors in this city of about ton thou
sand inhabitants, lo tho enormous sum of one
hundred and forty sevSn, thousand, eight
.hundred and twenty five dollars. This is
the tax the citizous ol Louisville arc paying
yearly, to augment that river of liquid fire,
that ii rolling its burning waves over our land;
sweeping its thousands into an untimely
grave, and leaving noliiiog but misery, ruin
and death in its train.
one oFthe pascrigers, a pH liter belonging to
Savannah, was stretched mortally wounded,
on the deck. The only remaining poo was
Senor Baptists,& he was pulled out from be
neath the-boat, where he bad escaped during
the conflict between the pirates and tbe ill-
fn-ed’erew ot the brig. In a stato of dreadful
terror, he pointed out a locker, where a box,
containing a considerable amount in specie,
belonging to Capt. Fredericko, was conceal
ed, and for Ibis information bis life was spar
ed. Tbe brig was then scuttled, and wont
before the wind, and Senor Baptisla was in
three days after landed at St. Antonio. Ho
reached the Havana in about three weeks,
and related to the agents the fate of tho
Fredericka and her crew. Five persons were
thon in custody,, upon suspiciou of plundering
on Amoncan vowel, and ho was directed by
tho authorities to go foi the goal, and look at
them. Hu immediately identified two af
them, who were on board the pirate vessel
which plundered the Fredericka. Ono of
them admitted 4hat he was iii the schooner,
and ho sailed front St. Bartholomew’s in her.
He, the same night attempted to commit su
icide, by making a wound in his throat. Tho
prisoners woretakcu at Cuba,endeavoring to
negotiate the sale of some merchandize.—
They were not tried when the Nancy sailed
from Havana.” The above short and affect

From the London Morning Ilcrald, July 2C.
The following narrative of the plunder and
murder of tho crew of the Vraw Fredericka,
a Dutch brig of 200 tons, belonging to Har
lem, was detailed by a gentleman just arriv
ed from tho Flondos iu the Lovely Nancy,
now in tho Thames:—“Tho Fredericka
sailed from Jamaica on the 12th of April last,
in charge of Mr. Stoio, the Mate; Captain
Fredericks, the master and owner, having
died at Kingston.—There were seven men
and two passengers, and the vessel was un
der orders for llollaod, but had to cnll at the
liuvatinah for a large freight. The brig
kept her courso through the leeward passage
until the evening of the 2(Jlli, when a schoo
ner hove in 6ight, and kept hovering about
the brig tbe whole of that night. 'They
were then uot two days sail from the Lie of
Cuba, aud the schooner appeared lo have
come from either tbc Colorudos or Saint An
tonio, to the southward of the Havana. On
the morning of the £lst, at daylight, the
schooner was about two miles to leeward, and
Mr. Stein, suspecting her to be a pirate, made
all sail from her. However, tho schooner
was too last, and about 12 o’clock, came with
iu half a mile, and, hoisting Buenos Ayreati
colours, fired a gun.—Tho brig was quite
unarmed, nnd hove too. Tho schooner then
hailed in English, but not a soul on board
understood the language, and the only an
swer given was hoisting Dutch colours; a
boat was then sent from the schooner full of
men, and before ono o’clock the brig was in
possession of tho pirates, whose Bavage acts
of barbarity now are to J be recorded. Tho
pirates, to the number of about 50, ransacked
every partot tbe vessel, aud took every thing
of value they could lay their hands upon.—
The Dutch sailors, in their own language, re
monstrated, but were laughed at by tbo ruf
fians, who proceeded deliberately to compel
tbe wretched men to what is termed walk the
plank.’ This was on (be afternoon of the same
day they seized tho brig. Ono poor man :
upon being laid hold on by two of tho pirates
to pinion, blindfold, and fasten a shot to his
feet, made a desperate resistance, in which
ho fixed his grasp upon the throat of one of
the ruffians, and they both tumbled over the
side, and were drowned. Senor Baptists, of
of the firm of Ramooe.Baleussua Si Uaptista.nf
Havana, remonstrated with a abort man, who
spoke the Spanish language,and who appear
ed to be the commander, and endeavored to
influence him to prevent the Duethmen being
murdorod. The ruffian only answered by
firing a pistol at his head ; but next moment,
as if by a retributive justice fell dead upon
the deck,the other passenger having plunged
a knife suddenly into his back. Five ot the
Duchmeti, observing tbo fAte of Mr. Stem,
and two others, ran below, andarmiug them
selves with knives, made a determined, resis
tance but were overpowered by tbe .pirates,
all of whom were well armed. Before 6 o’
clock in the evening the whole of the crow
ofthe brig were thrown into the sea, and

Ono ofthe most internsting facts In Hall’s
Travels is Ion ml on tbe first page. ‘The pro
per day of nailing from England, according
lo the regulations of.the weekly packets, was
the 16th of tho month; but owing to soinn
difficulty about collecting the crew, we lost
twenty four precious hours,nt the commence
ment of an easterly wind. Another ship,
however, better prepared, warped out of tho
dock, proceeding to fen on that day ; nnd by
this apparently trivial advantage, contrived
lo get iu wlmt seamen call a vein nf wiud,
nnd nruved nine days before us ; thus shew
ing that in imuiicnl ns well ns in other unt-
leis, it is well to take time by the forelock ;
a lesson we resolved lo profit by in our future
jouruoy.’
The Dull Times.—Tho dullness of tho
times is a constant topic of conversation.—
We hear of it at every corner nnd see its ef
forts in every countenance. Tbo stato of
f ■''« much the same ns at
h'Jiitu. Ileie w« near of failures end fuuitj.a
of failures. Yet the banks are said to hnvo
plenty of money, and interest is not high.—
Tho want of confidence is too apparent in
the walks of commerce at the present mo
ment. This has oriten from the disasters lo
trade, growing out of the interminntc discus
sions on ct tntnercial le«.»ialntion. Commerce
is n sensitive leaf. Tho least approach of
certain bodies agitates its surface and un
settles its accustomed channels.
There ie, however, another evil with which
our commercial cities arc afflicted. Ti e
crowd that presses forward into commerce is
too great, if a farmer’s eldest son happens
to say a bright thing, bis mother strokes his
head and protest he must one dny be a law
yer, a doctor, or n merchant in Now York.—
He grows up pautliing for Broadway, and
dreaming over the delights of Pearl street.
He loaves as soon as ho reaches a certain
age, tbc green fields and healthy air of hit*
native valley—and precipitates himself into
a crowd of competitors behind the countern
of Maiden Lane or nt the desks of Pearl or
South street. Commercial pursuits arc over
stocked. In other commercial countries,
they ay in a similar condition, but they po«
seas not the remedy that we have. Jf any
one becomes unfortunate in business in this
oountry, he can always turn farmer. No ono
need lear miblortue, if his health, industry,
and ordinary discretion remain. He can go
to the West—turn farmer—bo an active
man, and in n few years, he will bo figuring
in the halls of the stale or National Legisla”
tore. We hove hundreds in this great city,
who never can expect to mako a figuro—who
are supplanted by rivals at every turning—
who feel severely the effects of vicissitudes
m trade. In Western N. York—iu Ohio-
ill the interior of almost every state—such
persons by limiting their desires to a simpler
standard of livings might even become
Squires, Judges, Senators, Congressmen.—
Fathers of seven sons, and Grandfalhero of
their fifty or one hundred descendants.—
Let them remain struggling in New York &.
and what is the result ? They will run tho
gaulent through Wall st every other morning
—puffing aud blowing like a porpoise—and
trying to raise money ut ono per cent a
month. But let them go to tho country and
in a fow years they'* will, if industrious, set in
their own orchard—drink their own cidco—
cut their own apple pies, and give themsel
ves no trouble about tariff*—anti-tariff—dull
times—and troublesome duns.
