COMMUNICATE D.
The following effusion was induced by hearinf
a gentleman read the D ike of Y irk’s 3PEEGH
on the Irish Catholic Emancipation Hill in tlu '
British douse of Lords-1325. 1
t
” The blast F irturian spreads its note around."
” The House astonished, trembles at the sound.’ 1 — Yirg. .
the long expected hour is come,
That will dispose ot Erin’s doom, j
And give (or years to obloquy * ■
Her children, or, declare them free.
An hour that's fraught with expectation—
for hearts thro’out that injured nation,
Throb ardently with raptures high,
That Erin’s Jubilee is nigh. c
And generous sentiments have scope,
And eyes, are radient with hope j I
That this will prove the. final year, t
For Ireland penal bonds to wear.
Already have the Commons cast (
Their vole for her just rights—tis past!
And now the Lords, their portals wide
Unclose, while guards on either side,
And Clarions breath an 1 martial drum, '
Tell that the Duke of York is come !
Now, he ascends the cushioned chair,
And sycophancy gre ts him there.
, The Peers are ranged in solemn state, I
And very anxiously await
To hear him speak, wtio ne’er before
Attracted notice, on the floor
Os that August and crowded hall,
Where noble Chatham, did enthral
Delighted thousand. ! pleading laws,
In Freedom's and great Natures’ cause !
No, Chatham he who occupies
This moment all the ears and eyes,
Os that vast silent multitude.
But he’s a Duke of /loyal blood !
Protector tow of Mu. C ke ! !
Stern Justice bids us here remark.
Tbit with ills Hghn'ss’s permission
At some few pounds for each commission
She retailed forty-three one day !
And his Grace smiled, to hear her say.
She’d buy new trinkets for the pay J /
Degraded Britain ! that could stand, •
An 1 tamely see thy martial band C
Thus tr.iffick’d, ai a Ciprians hand j
W iut millions o thy myr ad woes ;
Were thine thro’ officers like those ! !
A Mi red. Bishop ! tooj is he,
And foe ,o Catholicity.
O.i rose with studieil dignity,
T hat pious Duke, so all might see.
An 1 placing that best limb before,
On which the mottled band he bore,
lie thus began to vend h . spl -cn,
Ag mist thy rights, my Eiin G een
Whose gallant son opposed the blade,
That should have cloven his vile head,
Mhen at the races of Dunkirk
.He lost his honour bouts and dirk ! ! !
He qualified Ins words a little,
But li re’s their import to a tittle.

In arguing loose li nnisli claims,
Still will I frustrate all their aims.

Whose gloriMis pendant was unfurled
To find for man a pnrei world,
When tyrant’s deeds had curs’d the old.
Where Crowns and Slates were bought and fold
Like cattle on a market day,
Thine sm of Uoman Genoa,
Ami who, upon the trackless main
Humbled the crest of haughty Spain ?
Who, on Saiammen’s height

Ami oh ! who on famed Waterloo
Did each high deed of warrior true ?
W..s Erin seen the craven there
Wileu fled the steel clad cairrasdeur ?
“ When pealed tho shot and rang the steel”
Did then Hibernia’s phalanx reel ?
No, Little York they saved that throne.
Wh en you now prut to call your own ;

And Ita dread visage seem to smile,
And Pigmy men with feeble strides,
Kaise Towns and Vineyards on its sides.
And dreaming of security,
Invite tjieir own sad destiny.

And belches forth its torrid Lues,
When lava currents rushing down,

FATAL OCCURRENCE.
It were well indeed, if the catalogue of
blood could be hidden from the public eye;
but it is a painful duty due to the living,
that we should register the fate of those who
are numbered with the dead by of
passion or designing violence.
On Saturday evening last, Mr. William
Johnson, of this town, met his death from
the hands of Manuel Antoine, a Portuguese,
whose character has long had the stamp of
outrage and cruelty attached to it. Some of
the facts as we have heard them from an
eye-witness of the affair are as follows :
On the afternoon of the fatal day, a par
ty, among whom was the deceased, met on
the edge ot the town, at a house belonging
to the above Manuel Antoine, tor the pur
pose of shooting for beef. After the contest
was decided, a dispute arose about the di
vision of the prizes, in the course of which
Antoine declared he could whip any man on
the ground. Johnson declared he could not,
and that he would not be cheated out of
his prize. Manuel retreated towards his
house, which he entered, and almost imme
diately retained, rushed, towards Johnson
and struck him with his left hand. A scuf
fle ensued, and Johnson immediately re
ceived seven wounds in the body, apparent
ly from a knife, which had not been perceiv
ed in the hands of Antoine. The assassin
tt,“.d, during the horror and amazement of
eluded the pursuit of justice. Manuel is a
man about five feet five inches in height,
well built anil of a light complexion, and it
is hoped that he may yet be brought to an
swer for so foul a deed.
In lile, the deceased, maintained in his
station, a character ot perfect respectability,
and lias left a family to lament his untime
ly fate, anti mourn for the outrage which
has robbedthem of a father and a friend.
While we record the above atrocious act
with feelings of the greatest indignation, we
cannot retrain from tillering our veto against
all meetings of the kind above mentioned.
I bey are too apt to become the rendezvous
for inebriety ami infamy, and too often end,
as in the present case, in some castrophe fa
tal to individual security, and outrageous to
the public peace,
] I'he deceased languished in extreme ago
ny for three days and expired.
A melancholy occurrence is stated to
have happened in the town of Providence
last week. I hree lads had trespassed on
the garden of Mr. John Field for the pur
pose ot taking peaches, and while standing
under the tree one ot them received several
wounds from (lie discharge of a musket
loaded with duck shot,and tired by the son
of the owner of the garden. The youth
was mortally woundetl and expired in a
bnut live hours. Young Field was arrested
on the following day, and has since been
indicted for murder by a grand jury.
The Lakes. —A gentleman who has re
cently returned from a residence at Michi
gan Territory, has informed the editored
(he Salem Observer, that the British Board
of Surveyors have been engaged, for the last
two years, in making a survey of the British
Territory in the vicinity of the Lakes. The
same gentleman was informed, by one of
the surveyors, that they had found upwards
of twenty two thousand islands in Lake
Huron !
