THE TRANSPORT. ;
The great eye of tilt)' was wide open and '
a joyful light filled the air, heaven and o- (
ceaii.—Tho nimble clouds lay motionless j
far and wide over the deep blue sky, and all j
memory of storm and hurricane had vanish
ed from the magnificence of that immense ‘
calm. There was but a gentle fluctuation |
on the deep, and the sea-birds floated stca- *
dily there, or dipped their wings for a mo
ment in the wreathed foam, and again wheel- |
ctl sportively away into the sunshine. One
ship—only one single ship—was within the
encircling horrizon, and she had lain there |
ns if at anchor since the morning light, for
although all her sails were set, scarcely a ,
wandering breeze touched her canvass, and |
her flags hung on the staff and at peak, or (
lifted themselves up at intervals, and then j
sunk again into motionless repose. The |
crew passed not her deck, for they knew
that no breeze could come, (ill after meri- j
dian—and it was the Sabbath day.
A small congregation were singing prais
es to Gotl in that chapel, which rested al
must as quietly on the sea as the house of
worship in which they have been used to
pray, then rested far off on a foundation of
rock in a green valley of their forsaken
Scotland. They were emigrants, nor hoped
ever again to see (he mists of their native
mountains. Rut as they heard the voice of
their psalm, each singer half forgot that it
blended with the sound of the sea, and al
most believed himself sitting in the kirk of
his own beloved parish. But hundreds of
billowy leagues intervened between them
and the little tinkling bell that was now
tolling their happier friends to the quiet
house of Gotl.
Anil now an old grey headed man rose to
pray, and held up It is withered hands in
fervent supplication for all around whom, in
good truth, he called his children, for three
generations were with the patriarch on that ,
tabernacle. There, in one group, were hus- j
hands and wives standing together, in awoj
ot Him, who heltl the deep in the hollow ol
his hand ; there, youths and maidens, linked |
together by the feelings of the same ties- |
tiny, some of them, perhaps, hoping, when
they reached the shore, to lav their heads ,
on one pillow ; there, children hand in hand,
happy in the wonders of the ocean ; and
there mere infants smiling on the sunny I
deck, ami unconscious of the meaning of 1
hymn or prayer,
A low, confined, growling noise, was
heard struggling beneath the deck, and a ,
sailor cried with a loud voice, ‘ Fire, fire !
the ship’s on fire !” Holy words died on j
s
the prayer’s tongue ; the congregation fell)
asunder ; and pale faces, wild eyes, groans, j
shrieks, and outcries, rent the silence of the
lonesome sea. No one fora while knew!
he other, as all were hurried as in a whirl
wind up and down the ship. A dismal heat
all unlike the warmth of that beautiful sun,
came stifling on every breath. Mothers, who
in their first terror had shuddered but for
themselves,now clasped their infants to their
breasts, and lifted up their eyes to heaven.
Bold brave men, grew white as ashes, and
hands strengthened by toil anil storm trem
bled like the aspen leaf. •• Gone, gone, we
are all gone !” was now the cry, yet no one
knew whence that cry came ; and men
glared reproachfully on each other’s coun
tenance, and strove to keep down the au
dible heatings of their own hearts. The
desperate love of life drove them instinc
tively to their stations, and the water was
pouted, as by the strength ot giants down a
motig the moulding flames. But the de
vouring element roared up into the air;
and the clerk masts sails, and shrouds,weie
one cracking amt hissing sheet of tire.
“ Let down the boat !” was now the yell
of hoarse voices, and in an instant she was
filled with life. There was frantic leap
ing into the sea ; and all who were fast
drowning moved convulsively towards that
little ark.
Enveloped in flames and smoke, yet
insensible as a corpse to the bu.ning.a fran
tic mother flung down her baby among the 1
crew ; and as it fell among the upward oars'
unharmed, she shrieked out a prayer of
thanksgiving. “Go husband,go ; for 1 ami
content to die! (Mi! live, live, my hus- 1
band, for our Willey’s sake.” But in the;
prime of live, ami with his manly bosom
full of health and hope, the husband look
ed but for a moment till lie saw his child
was safe, and then, taking his young wife in
his arms, sat down beneath the binning
fragments of the sail, with the rest that
were resigned, never more to rise up (ill

" While amusing ourselves in looking at
the monuments of human vanity and folly,
which seem to abound in far greater num
ber than those erected by affection, we stop
ped before a plain tomb, on which was in
scribed a tribute to the memory of an only
daughter ; “ Passing stranger, drop a tear
to her memory ; sorrow has dried up ours.”
The reflections raised by this simple appeal
to the feelings were interrupted by the ap
pearance of a gentleman, who came up to
us, with his arm in a sling, and, with e any
preliminary, said, “ Pray, ,do vvU vunt
to buy a grave?” Not t • 1 good
friend ; have you got one t •!i f” “ Yes,
I have, and a very nice di ■ -, i a are

a perpetual grave for her, which cost me
250 francs; but my b« o hor, General T.
whom you know, no doubt.’’—“ I have heard
of him at Carlton Palace.”—" He would
have my daughter taken up and sent t ■
England; so I have got the grave to sell ;
and if you wanted one, I would have let
you had it dog cheap, though it is quite as
good as new.” Finding we were not grave
men, he wished us good day, and hobbled
away to another group, to offer his second
hand grave,
“ * What does he mean by a perpetual
grave ?* said I to O'Hulloran. ‘ You must
know (hat the permission to bury here is ob
tained at different rates : If you want a
temporary grave, it Only costs 50 francs;
but the b >dy may be taken up at the end of
five years, or rather another corpse buried
in the same place ; whereas,if you pay 250
francs the grave is a freehold; hence you
will see on some tombstones ‘a perpetu

Sheridan's Funeral. Moore has omit
ted one of the most touching and heart-stir
ring anecdotes connected with the funeral
of poor Sheridan. The noble and select
company hail assembled to pay the last tri
bute of respect to departed genius, and the
hearse, when an elegantly dressed person
age, who pretended to be distantly relat
ed to the deceased, entered the chamber of
death. At his urgent entreaties to view
the face of his friend, the coffin lid, was
unscrewed ; and to the horror and sur
prise of the bystanders, lie pulled out a war
rant and arrested the body ! Mr. Canning
ami lord Sidmouth went into an adjoining
room and paid the debt, which we believe
amounted to .£SOO. This anecdote we de
rived from authority.

FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER.
Two Weeks Later from England. •
By the arrival of the packet ship Silcu !
Richards, at New-York, we have received j
from our attentive Correspondent at Lon
don, files of papers to the 22d of May, in
clusive ; and from Liverpool, th# papers of
that city to the 24th, also inclusive.
Missolonohi, to which our attention has
been so long and so powerfully directed,
and upon whose fate our hopes and fears
have so repeatedly been raised or depres
sed, it now appears, was taken by the Turks
on the 22d of April—one month after it
was first stated to have surrendered. The
cause of Greece, however, is not yet hope
less—there is much reason to hope that the
Christian Powers are at last about to inter
fere in her favor, and that some degree of
independence and safety, will be secured
for her.
The most pleasing intelligence brought by
this arrival, is the improvement in the Hav
re and Liverpool Cotton Markets. Latest
letters, of the 24th ult. from Liverpool,
state, that Bowed Cottons had advanced,
from the lowest point of depression, about
jd per lb. in Old, and |d in New Cottons.
I The market, likewise, presented a healthy
appearance ; and the manufacturers were
resuming (heir wonted labors. As an evi
dence of this, one of the Liverpool circulars
states, that th- export of Manufactured
Goods from Liverpool, London and Hull,
in the articles of Calicoes and Twist only,
during the week ending' 13th ult was equal
to 11,218 bags of the raw* material. The
export of Raw Cotton, during the same pe
riod, was only 1113 bales.
Our papers up to the 15th April, (sent by
the ship Eugene) reached our London Cor
respondent on the 21st of March.
The Princess Royal of Sweden was safely
delivered, on the afternoon of the 3d ult.
of a Prince. There were gre.it rejoicings in
consequence-—(he King and Queen, and the

thanksgivings were offued up to the Su
preme who had deigned to hear their
prayers. The Baptism of the Prince
was fixed for (he 11th May, the anniversary
of the Coronation of the King, when he
would receive the names of ChahCe-. Lou
is Eugene, and the title of Duke of Scania.
The erection of that great undertaking,
the Liverpool and Manchester railway, was
to commence in about two months—it is
said that it wilt require at least three years
to complete it.

> tions, (says the London Sun of the 17 th
• ult.) which has been so common of late,
(balloon ascensions) took place yesterday af
ternoon at the Eagle Tavern, Ci'y Road ”
An immense number ot people attended ; a
scaffold was erected on an adjoining shed,
upon which persons were accommodated at
the low price of a penny and two pence
each—it was of course crowded to excess ;
and a few minutes before the ascension, it
gave way with a tremendous crash, the peo
ple and pla> ks intermingled together falling
to the ground. Immediate assistance was
rendered, and in the course of half an hour
the whole of the unfortunate beings were
got from under the ruins—between fifty and
i sixty were found to be more or less wound
ed, and three or four were killed.
Mr. Secretary Peel has written a very

LIVERPOOL, MAY 24.
Greece. —We fear that there is no reason
to doubt the fact of the termination of the
heroic defence of Missolonghi, the fall of
that fortress, (iuman endurance, it would
seem, from the presuro of famine, could
hold no longer; arid to the want of food in
the garrison, and not their own bravery, the
Turks owe their success. It is an advan
tage which has been bought dear, and has
,left the glory wholly on the sid“ of the con
quered. What effect this may have upon
the general la'e of Greece, cannot, however,
be confidently anticipated. Even if the
Gre» ks -houM >till be b f to themselves, it
'.seems too much t > conclude, that he fate of
I this fortress must seal the fate of the strug-J
gle. The effect is disheartening, it is true ;
but whether it will produce despair remains
to be seen : Greece has often, of late mock
ed calculations both on the side of hope and
fear.
It continues to be confidently stated that
the case of Greece continues to be the sub
ject of neguciation between some of the
great powers of Europe. Os the fact there
seems no doubt; of the nature and proba
ble results of that negociation, there is too
much conjecture, and too little certainty to
warrant any remarks. A conversation, bear
ing upon this subject, took place on Friday,
in the House of Commons, on the presenta
tion of a petition ; but his Majesty’s Min
isters preserved a prudent silence. This
silence, we take it, rather augurs that some
thing is on the tapis, or no reason would be
apparent for not removing such an impres
sion from the public. Some very proper
remarks were made on the conduct of the
French and Austrian Governments, in per
mitting their subjects to assist the Turks in
this disgraceful contest, whilst each has ail
along professed neutrality. Some shame
has, however, we believe, been recently a
wakened as to such connivances, at least in
the Government of France— Courier.

were, 18,000 bags—of which 3000 American, 1000 Egyptian, 500
Brazils were on speculation. For export, little was done ; yet
some extensive orders are in town for Brazils* of which the
quantity offering iu bond, is very limited, In prices an advance
of 14d per lb. generally was obtained. The arrivals in the lasi
few days have been rather considerable ; but have had no effect
on the market. The sales from Saturday to yesterday inclusive,
amount to about 5,000 hags, at very full prices for Uplands, (of
which there is little offering,) and other American Cotton nnd
rather higher for Brazils, which is all favor of good qualities of

' CONSTITUTIONALIST.
1 AUGUSTA.
TUESDAY. JULY 4. 1826.
FIFTY years ago our fathers presented
to the world that extraordinary Declaration
l of Independence and rights, which will
be read with astonishment and gratitude,
while Liberty is prized or Letters remain.
! The strength and beauty of the language
are indeed admirable, but theeffects that
1 have followed, are most to be regarded.
| Fifty years ago—Kings and Tyrants sat
’ with confidence on their thrones, and men
were trained to submission and obedir
' ence. The American Revolution broke
the charm, and while it taught that Kings
| were men and men Kings, substituted for
, individual will, the government of laws,
mild—virtuous and wise. The experiment
1 succeeded, and the United States stand up
before the world, arrayed in robes of purity,
and crowned' with the Laurels of Liberty
( and Victory. r J he example has nut been
, lost upon mankind—the active principle
i that nerved the arms of our forefathers at
: Bunker’s Hill, Eutaw and Savannah,
1 has made its way even to the ruins of
i *
. Greece, and the vast solitudes of Spanish
America. There is no land where civiliza
tion has imprinted her steps, that has not
> felt and rejoiced at its invigorating influ
' ence. Who would have believed fifty years
( ago in the disenthralment of Mexico and
, Peru—the convulsions of Italy, France and
, Spain—the redawning of a bright day upon
r the antient land of Beauty—Philosophy and
r Song—for the fortunes of Greece have not
fallen at Missolonghi—they shall survive
i the blow* of the cymetar, and rise to hope
and glory I—The spirit of Liberty is abroad,
and when fifty years hence, her disriples
1 cast their eyes back upon the line of time,
[ is it not reasonable to believe that they shall
, behold the palaces of tyranny crumbling
* like “ the moths frail shell or sheds of
reeds,” and min adorned with all his
i rights, standing triumphant upon their ru
b ins ?
Fifty years ago and the author of the De
e claration, to which we attribute such impor
b tant cons -quenccs. was in the full enjoy
-0 ment of vigor fame and fortune. His fame
f has indeed increased, and the patriotic and
wisr bow in icrrrtnrr «linn hr in named—*
; but his strength has failed, and his fortune
,is broken. Will the country that he has
' loved and served see the feebleness of his
j old age struggling with poverty, and not
' stretch forth an assisting hand? It is true
' he asks nothing—but can the eyes of this
J people be his necessitie* ? Must
' their hearts be penetrated by s he ties of
| distress before thev ffer a generous sup
* port to tire chief founder and benefactor of
'this republic? We can have no doubts
upon this subject; the people of <he United
States, cannot with justice b u accused of
> ingratitude. Mr. Jefferson’s services may

* Extract of a Letter from Milhdgeville,
dated 2 9th June, 1826.
“ Our Commissioners left here yesterday,
1 for Chatahourhie, to run the dividing line
1 between us and Alabama. The Governor of
j Alabama does not pretend to contend for a
> right to ascend the river above the falls,
, which is not more than twelve or fourteen
i miles above Fort Mitchell—the point we
. contend for. Although the terms of the
i New Treaty would authorize him to con
j tend for a point from whence to leave the
river near seventy miles above that place.”
i It is olir intention to offer some remarks
I upon the views taken by our political oppo
-1 nents of the New Treaty—this is how
! ever sacred, and we shall not now enter upon
1 the controversy.
Although Missolonghi has fallen, it is be
; lie'Ved that the Greek cause is not desperate.
’ Mr. Hobhouse in the British Parliament,
1 expresses a confidence that So long as Na
, poli di Romania remains in the possession of
the Greeks, their liberties cannot be des
troyed, and he entertains the best hopes
from the bravery with which Missolonghi
was defended. It is also reported that cer
tain great powers of Europe are about to in
. terfere, and to guaranty the Independence of
Greece.
