“No ivy crtdp* o'er c'rumilling abbey walUjVJhoHa

along whoso broken pavement aud dim and stately
aisles, moved on the slow procession, whilo the
•nthnm echoed from the rtiitVed choir, and tlirough
the carved and mulliuned window* gleamed ihe
taper* of the midnight mats! No castle huge, with

'and strong portcullis, tell* il« tale of tho fearful
'past, when die Damn rode on bis rude foray, fen-
hundred horsemen in bis gallant traib. und woe in-
'the note of his l>ugle horn! No titles bath it of tho
' olden lime, of kingly pomp ond kingly wickedness
to make the blood run cold, of chivalry and knight*
‘!y love, the song of the wandering troubadour; of
bnule joinod between valiant heights in glittering
armour, cap apse, fend the sports of tho gorgeou,
Y tournament! Ofnonetof theso it boasts, hot in its
very newness, nnd freshness, ond life of yesterday
are the essential clement* of it* romance. It pre-
rent* the startling and tonoriialou* spectacle of civil-
iration in its boldest reechos, in intimate connexion
yet wondtfrfbl contnUt,'Vflth the wildness of savage
barbarity. It displays the liuhian character in its
loftiest and noblest mould, transplanted suddenly
from tho scenes Uf 'its tutelage, liberated at once
from the cramping IbrlMs, and cold ‘constraint of
hoary and mature society, in'tiro 'broadest freedom
’end the widest soupe to expand with'a glorious
elasticity to the fulness df 'it* 'untried liberty, to be
quicksand as with tho pulses dfa ftew and a more
'ardent life, and tobound'forth'wiih a 'resistless en*
■orgy that developes the grun'deur of Its immonsura*
bfa'i-ekoureps, the surpassing glory of it* unconquer
able might.''
Tho lecturer here, by a skilful transition, brought
'his hearers suddenly upen an entirely different
ground, lde had forgotten ho had not done justice
to the matuiiuls for Romance afforded by lhiscon* :
'tinent. This continent had also tu do with the
'olden time, limos which went " back, fur baek of
Romo's triumphal molt, and Greece's immortal
Parthenon." After a few preliminary remarks, he'
"then called thn attention of his audience to those
stupendous ruin* existing in Central America,
which have puezlcd the ingenuity of antiquarians,
lost, a* their origin is, in the remoteness of ages.
He then gave a graphic description of some of
-them, and of the fertile region in which ihcy'kre
'situated. 'Sumo idea may bu formed of tho extent
of those ruins, from that of tho teltiplo of Copan,
which is six hundred nnd fifty-three'feet by fivo
hundred and twenty four; and of their fege, from (be
fact Unit tho Moxicuns, who boasted of tltdir an.
tiquity, know nothing of them, and that enormous
trees liuvo crown up on tho very roofs of thu Tem
ples nnd Palace*.
'On tho top of the gallery of a templo in Yucatan,
uus n giguntic tree, whose coUcenlriolayers, each
layer, indicating a year, rebelled tosisteen hundred
and nine. “Approaching,” continued the lecturer,
“two thoosnnS jeart, ride* thrte relics were alien*
•doned in the sport of nature! Uvhuid the evidence
’oif iheir sublime antiquity I How must the very
'soul of ihu traveller bo hushed with a Solemn and
oppressive weight Of irtve, a* lie gtfte* from their
lonely midst, upon their voiceless hall*! Carriod
back, far back, through tiro lapse of circling cornu
ries, to tho day* witen breathing, moving lifo was
pufshting there, through tho arteries of thousands!
A nn'tion—a glorious nntion—wht're the echoing
scream of the bird of prey alone startle* the *Uence
now! Where tho tangled forest hath possession
now—where ull is solitary loneliness. The people
—what of them f Where enmo they*—where ore
they! No record! no record!! save thorn silent
walls. Oh! for u voice to speak out aloud from
ibeir hoary and desolate chambers fend tell the story
of the nation that is gabel ”
lie then pointed out this ns a favorable ground
Tor the Romance of Amerirnn History, and drew a
vivid and forcible tkeibti of whit the magic wand of
tho Romancer might evolve.
He then reverted to the ° 'Antutared Indian** tif
-North America, and spoke ofliife character, habits,
and story, os constituting one 6f the elements of the
Romintic. The length of this notice, warns us
thtst we cnnnnt follow hint in tho details and Hitts*
tratiuns of tills portion of his lecture.
He then alluded to the exuberant materials for
Romance afforded by thn courageous settlers in the
tangled forest nnd the toil of tho Pioneer of lifts wil*
‘derness. and paid a handsome tributo to that man
vtpoo whom epithets seem wasted—George Wash*
injton,—and spoke of our peculiar position among
ii.,tions at an incentive to (lerrevere in tho causa of
J.iberty.
We have preferred, in this notice, to let the lec
turer speak for himself through his extracts, in*
stepd or ilringSngtogpthercomplimenii; convinced
that those who heard him, will b« pleased again to
renew their acquaintance with hit lecture; and
those who did not. may judge of the whole by the
specimens we give thorn In conclusion, w* cannot
resist giving tha baautiful psroration by which he
concluded hi* lecture.

CHATHAM SUPERIOR COURT.
Jakuart Term, 1841.
Tho Grfend Jury of tho county of Chatham, in

duly to mako soma prese'ijlmenrii of public evil#
which may bu remedied by'due attention of the pub
I'm authorities: we present 'at a griovanco the very
common viulatjnnt of tho Sabbath, in the vicinity
of the city, in various mudes, whioh diminish nur
reputation, as a moral community, and give great
annoyance to citixens who wUh'ta observe the Sab
bath as a day of res*, and devoted to religious duties.
On thu public rends lending tn the city, ihoro is con
stent complaint of the continued firing of guns, eitli
cr for sport or in killing birds. Many person* have
considered their lives in danger, nnd females panic
ularly are afraid to venture in the woods, unless
with strongprotectinn. Those whohavonntihitmu«t
atny at home. This practice is at any time dinger
ouv, but is particularly to on the Sabbath, from the
unrestrained liconte its violation introduces. We
understand many parsons hro prevented from attend
Ing public serviro on this account; we ate also in
'formed on good authority that the public road* are
'ifceaos of diaordurly riding and racing on tit* S*1>
bath, und specially that called the Thunderbolt
road.
Our follow dlixcns who use these roads, and par

'cannot pas* without danger, there is confusion,
disorder, and great exposure to Injury from this ille

we ore nl«o infotmed, that on the river below tho
city, tvhere there i* much shipping, tl.at the Stibbath
I* frequently violated. Tlrey ore not aware that
ships are loaded or slowed, but belirvrlihat various
'sports, gunning, boat racing, fete, make up a Hit of
offences In tho violation of the Subbnth, which d**
mand examination and full execution of the law*
foibidding them. It Is our duly to present those
infractions of the Inw* nftho fond,ond we theieby call
the attention of tho Inferior Cuui t to them when
committed without the limits of thn city, consider
ing the City Council as having especial supervision
of those within. We present ns a serious evil tho
abandonment of the systein of’th'ft cuunty pnlfrb by
the patrol, and we recommend to the Inferior Court
and Justices of tho Paoco that it bo enforced on all
persons liiibin to tho duty, without delay.
We present alio ns an evil kindred to the obnve
lost stated, tho practice by Planters of leaving
their plantations entirely to thn cltargo of colored
men, that is. not employing ( competent Overseers
in tlio'Hiknngement of their Plantations, when they
do nut reside on them. This practico is in the first
place a violation of the Law, as is well known, and
destructive of discipline and good order, ond so
apparent are Its evils, that'they should administer a
correction of it at once. THo Grand Jury would uiso
rcc-mmend to thn Inferior Court, to extend the
courtesy to the Physician*, ortho City of Savannah
of exemption from Jury duty, ond they would re.
commend this, as much for the comfort ond conva.
nienco of the community's for the Physicians them,
selves. We present to fito attention of the Jus lice,
of the Inferior Court n* necessary for the comfort
of tho Court, tho luying down of Carpets, or what

and for that purpose, invite you to accept a public

about tho lime of tho adjournment of thn present
session of Congress.
Occupying a position to have been close ohser
vers of your conduct, boili public and private—wit
nesses of tbo ability.patriotism,firmness nnd disinter
ostndne*s with which you have pursued thattrnlglit
pnth of the public good—nppi nvlng the great men
surcs nnd principle* of your Administration—ndmir
ing llio frankness nnd decorum of your prrsohal do
portment in nil thetiying scenes through which you

degree of respect nnd esiefem—the undersigned
could not reconcile it to their feelings .to soparatu
from you without soliciting nhdppuitunity of giving
a public nnd formal expression to ; t!ia sentiment* of
respect, confidence und npprfel.dtiun with Which
your conduct has inspired them.
Tiie undersigned know foil wejithat it has not
beeh your custom to nccept public dinners, or pub
lie mAtkl of respect of any kind—that your aim hot
beau to dis’cl,aVgo tho duties, nnd to avoid the linn
ors of your exulted station—and that nothing could
ho more agreeable to your own feedings, limn to
leave the high office which you have filled, with the
some modest', noiseless,and unambitious step* witli
which you entered upon ond parsed tlirough it. The
undersigned know ihi<; but tlipy hope thotynu may
find, in the circumstances of the present occasion,
an inducement for. depntting from a general hile,
and thin your friend* muv liuvo the gratification
which they have asked, of meeting you At a public

These object* occnmpllshed, I retire from the

hut when T call to mind that tho poriod to widely

must interfere with the natural desire of tho mem
her# of the House of Representatives, who will bo

tu subject thorn to o delay which they have gener
ously overlooked in their wish to dome honor. You
will, therefore, I hope, Induce me in respectfully
declining the public dinneY you have tendered.
Yel, although wo may not muot at thn festive

nnd attachment at a moim-m which renders it preu

Mr. Fotsyth always sprang to tha subject he fora

seivntlon.nnd deep reflection. Fluent In delivery,

on the Georgia Rftod, until the Charleston and flam

frgolnrly, when tho dally lino will bo resumed un

LOSt MAILS.
Wltah wo noticed in our paper nf Monday, the

THE RECENT RAINS.
If tlto stoppage of all, mail communication with
our city since Wednesday last, are to.forth the data
from which to calculato the extent nf. the .damage
from the recent heavy rains, wo should certainly
infer that it had been very grant, but fts yet, wq
have not been uliln to lonrn nnything definite nf its
extent, except on the Geotgia R. R., un which, We
learn from Mr. Peters, tliedamnge ha* been small,
being only three small breaks in the embankment,
two neor this city, nnd one beyond Greensboro.—
All of which will bn repaired in a few d.iys. In

we did not learn. We lienr that a train will le.ivn

•nd placed Mr Forsyth in an enviable n»d fsvoriibl#
position before the American people. At the ex
Ira session of Congress in 1814, which convened
in September, Mr. Cullioun, thn Chairman of
tho Committeo of Foreign Affairs, bring, nb

and beauty, hardly surpassed by hny of tho crlebrn

Great Oaetiny.—The lied piste for ihMcatqen
glne on board of ilia nuw frigato nuw building nt llto
Navy Yard, was taken from tho Funndry of Messrs.
Merrick & Towno last Thursday. It is an immense
casting, and required great power to carry it to the
Navy Yard. It is .7 feet wide, 29 fret long, nnd
weight over 14 tons. The engine, which is in pro
cess of construction nt tho Suuthwark Foundry, will
well compare with tha best specimens on hoard nf
tho English steam ship*. The frame work is built
afleV the gothic stylo, nnd oil tho parts mo masslvo
and heatiflilly finished. Tho boilers are of immenso
dimensions; Copper end copper fastened. When
the whole is completed, and the engines put In mo
lion, we will hasard the assertion that nothing, eith
or In Europe or in tlds cnllniry, will surpass these
powerful and richly finished ebglnes.—ibid.
A Machine for Setting Type.—Tho Baltimore
Clipper, speaking of a machine invented hy John
D. Hilt, nf that city, for suiting and distributing
typo says thn principle is plausible, hut doubts tits
utility nf the machine. "The idea forcibly struck
us thut, admitting it lo operate, it would perform
less work, tlui rift single prin(«-t', tot thq sumo t into
bn prubnbly twine nr three times the expense. The
peculiar feature of tho invention consists in a hori
xoniul wheel, rite diameter nf which mny ho extend
od to one, liirco nr fivo foot. On this wheel I* die
tribiin-d in small grooves the fount of typo, each
kind uf loiter by itself, sot in a perpendicular posi
linn. Extending from the said wheel nro a number
nfkcys similar tu those ofun organ or piano, whirls
upon being touched with the fingnr Immediately
stops the rotary motion uf the wheel, carrying IrftUnd
with ft thn typo, nnd puts in operation a small pis
tun which strikes upon tha end uf tho sperifird lift
tar designed for uso, thereby placing it in, what is
culled by printers, llm stick. Tlifo stick is also
causer! tn move in such a mftnner as tu receive rite
wonted letter.” Tho machine is desjgned to wotk
by steam. Hadn't totnnbudy better invent a tie
