A serious accident occurred to the mail

his recovery is uncertain.

rest, of Newfoundland, N. J. was fixing a
flint :n his gun, it accidentally went off, and
its contents entered the side of his wife
With a solitary exclamation,—" Peter 1 you
have hurt me,” she fell—and immediately
expired. This fatal accident has so deeply
s.'.ected the mind of the wretched bus-
hand, that it was feared 4e would be de
prived of his reason.
The price of a mini's car.—At the Cork
(Ireland) City Sessions, on the 2d Decem
ber, a man named J-.'Ui Manning was tried
for assaulting Jeremiah Daylor, and biting
tiffliis ear. The assault was unprovoked
by Daylor. The man who saw the prison

A Negro Man peri-fieil on Edmond

The Providence G ,7.ettegives some
paiticulars relative to the death of a"
Mr. J- ■shun Tompkins, mate ol a ves
sel from lliai port, nliohas recently
been murdered by the pirates on the
coast ol Cuba. We make the follow
ing extract:—
“He was mate of the same vessel,
on a former voyage, when slu: was at,
tacked by pirnies,at night, within hail
of the Morn Castle,.where they tie

selves. They succeeded in defending
themselves against these midnight as
sassins in three several attacks, and
discovered in the morning that some
nf their insidious enemies had been
killed in the engagement. It is pro

of robbers, wlm teemnifted in Tump*

"The situation of nur citizens who
do business at Havana, is represented
as very unpleasant. They date nut
go out of their dwellings after dark,
and live together in considerable com
patties, where they keep constantly
guarded with Bi n nrrns and ammuni

room fin’ rest, one ol their number i--
kept constantly on the watch, With

in momentary danger of attacks from

Pensions.—The editors of the New
York American, sod of the Evening
Post, do not seem to be exactly satis
fied with the resolution of Congress to
discontinue the pension of the widow
of Cspt. Lawrence, more especially
as liberal allowances arc made tu o
the'S not more deserving, & as the na
val pension fund appears to be quite
sufficient to meet all proper demands.
It is certainly time that the principle
on which pensions are to be granted
should, be settled. We have now,
before u« the petition of Mary Fan
ning Htbbs, of Bucks County in this
state, which petition, after being pre.
sented to Congress, rcterred and re-
referred, according to all approved
formulas ol legislative practice has
finally b-etv reported on unfavorably,
with leave to withdraw the documehts
though from their ter.or it would seem
that few persons have stronger claims
on the countty.

But land, and wave, and firmament,
So calmly slept, lie niignt havejjfard,'
The swift wing ofthe mountain bird.
Nur breeze, nor breath, his beacon stirr’d,
Yet fr -m the unfmhom’d caves below,
Thrice came that drear death-boding word,
And the long echo , s answered “Woe ?”
The warden from hits tower looks around,'
And now he hears the slow waves bring-
Each «o the shore a silver sound ! [ing
The spirit ofthe Isle is singing—
In depths which man hath never found
When she sits in the pomp ofher oedan
bed.
With her scarf of light around her spread,
The mariner thinks on the misty tide,
He aces the moon s soft raip l»»>w glide i
Her song in the noon ot night he hears.
And trembles while his bark he steers.
FLORA’S SONG.
I come in the morn 1 1 come in the hour,
«v\ hen the blossoms of beauty rise ;

Where Heaven’s dew purest lies.
Then rest thee bride !
In thy beaut) ’s pride,
Thun wifi rest to-night by Flora's side !
The eye I touch must ho soft and bluej
As \lic sky where the stars are gleaming,
And the breast must be fair as the fleecy
clouds,
Where the angels of bliss lie dreaming
And ti:c spirit within as pure and bright,
As the stream Hint leaps among tufts of
roses,
And sparkles along all 'life and fight.
Then calm in its open bed reposes , ,
Ah 1 . . . rest thee bride •
By thy true love's side,
To-morrow a shroud his hope shall hide
I saw them wreathing a crown f*r thee,
With the riches of empires in it;
But thy bridal robe was # a winding sheet,
And the loves that crown’d thee sat to
spin it
They heap'd with garlands thy purple bed
And ev’ry flower on earth they found
thee; '
And ev’ry [lower in the wreathe shall fade,
save those thy bounty scatter’d round
thee : .
Ye sweetly sleep,
While my hour 1 keep,
For angels to-night shall watch and weep
0 1 Green Isle 1 . , , woe to thy hope
and pride 1
To-day thy rose was bright and g owing;
'I he bud was full, the root was wide,
And the stream of love around it flowing!
To-morro.. thy tower shall alon*;
Thy hoary oak shall ILe and flourish,
But the dove front its brunches shall be
gone;
The rose that deck’d its stem shall pe
