Tell him, tell liim, that in the hall, I was the light of the festival; Tell him how proudly I paced the dance, What powers I bore in a word, or glance. And how each wave of my careless hand Seemed a strong spell, like a king's command. Tell him, tell him. my lips was wreathed With a glad, cold amile, when his name was breathed; Tell him I laughed with the proud and cold, In mockery deep, at those days of old. Those dreams of folly, the far, the dim, When my haughty spirit was bowed to him. But tell him not, tell him not, day by day. The light of my dark eye blanched away ; Tell him not, how in hush of night. His form would arise to my aching sight. Till my hands were clasped o'er my closed eyes, To shut out those haunting memories. Friend! gentle friend ! thou hast lov’d me long. And thy heart is stirred with my wo and wrong, - Oh be it ne’er to the false one known That my spirit’s worship was his alone. In my dying heart, is a gash of pride; Tell him not. tell him not, how I died. Say that I passed, in my flush of power, A rose dashed down by a sudden shower; A string, which burst in the tide of song, Touched by a hand too full and stiong; A star, that shot from its lefty sphere, Losing its lustre and glory, here. Marguerite. WASHINGTON. How might a Briton bless thee without blame, Yet how deny thy worth its honest praise 1 Great, virtuous, modest, whose unspotted name Is stamped in gold upon the rolls of fame — Whose brow is circled by her brigluest .-ays: Part of thy glory still let England claim. For still she loves her noble child always: ’ Into wbat times, what regions shall we roam, To find thy peer—Leonidas in fight, Pure Cincinnatus, meek retiring home, Fabius the wise, or Cato the upright!

As a barrister, Brougham enjoyed a place founded more upon his known abilities, in other departments, than on any special adaptation to that somewhat jealous and exclusive sphere where sits the stern goddess of the law. In all that concerned the minute and plodding detail, the knowledge of precedents, the power of drawing subtle, and almost invisible distinctions, he was surpassed by a large class, with Lord Abinger at their head. Law, more than any other science, from the multiplicity of its de tails, the technicality of its terms, the evasive nature of its distinctions, and the vast space which its records cover, demands the whole man. But, while Brougham has never narrow ed down his wide mind to such an exclusive de votion as Themis would require ; never “yel lowed himself among rolls and records j" nev er shone as a special pleader, “bristling up with small facis no barrister approached him in the rapid mastery with which he managed it the clever charlatanism by which he made his wit, ot his eloquence, or his ribaldry, or his abuse, supply the lack of his information ; the pincer-l:ke power of the machinery by which he squeezed out truth, or fun, or both, from witnesses; the lustre which Ills genius elicited from the dry wood and very rottenness of legal detail; or in his knowledge and application of the great leading principles of jurisprudence, whether gathered from the devout study of Bentliam, the demi-god of the science, or nude his own by the workings of his restless under standing. A pleading in his hands, instead of being a cold anil sapless document, full of quib hies, small sophistries, and other crooked things, became an animated and interesting production, crowded with information, passion, glancing lights, flung now back and now for. ward, and eloquence of the purest grain. When chancellor, Brougham made up for the want of minute technical lore by prodigious exertions boih of mind and body. In rapidity of his decision—the haste with which lie push ed the business before him.. His exercise of the patronage (lay and clerical) of that high office itself sufficed to prove that there was sea ted on the woolsack no cold cast iron figure, but a man—a man of glorious impulses, aud quick, warm beating heart. It was great in him in promoting one to whom he had done “some wrong,” and was practically opposed— George Croly. It was greater still, upon rea ding a small volume of poems, to obey the in stant impulse, and besiow a living upon the au thor of the “Village Poor-house.’’ “These are deeds whiclt must not pass away.” They blend a warm beam of love with our admira tion. It needed this to cover his sins against the dignity of the English law, personified in his office—the indiscreet personalities in which he indulged—the wild wit with which he shook the woolsack from its propriety, and the “strange fire” which he now and then presented on that solemn altar where he ministered as high priest. Afc a leader, he lias labored under a two-fold disqualification. Jn the first place, he never served a regular training to the trade—passing from under the banners of Ticrr.ey to those of Canning, and aflet wards to Grey, he only for a very short time led the opposition ; and like all men of impetuous impulse, lie is too rabid in his notions, too fiery in blood, too abrupt in his turns, too self ccnirnl in his conscious might, too capricious in his temper, anti too progres sive iu his opinions to le a trustworthy guide. No man of exalted genius was ever a good lea- tier. Burke, during his life, had no out and \ out followers, save Windham, who was rather j one of a constellation Gemini. Fox could n;:v- j er lead but in a storm. Canning gained his ; richest trophies while Liverpool was at the | helm. It is your acute, clear headed, cautious, ; commonsense men, like Sir Robert Walpole, ; that weathers the storm. | rr.EA,8|NG ACCOUNT OF SIR SIDNEY 3M1TH. Admiral DeCourcy had not long assumed the command, and his habits and manners of fered a striking contrast to those of his prede cessor, the chivalrous Sir Sidney, who was al ways in state, his barges’ crew in tho highest order and condithm, and his Aid-de-camp and Orderly constantly with him. On shore, he had a handsome carriage, drawn by six horses, his Aid-de-camp generally with him, and the Orderly well mounted; and grandeur goes so far, that nothing could be more respeclful than the behaviour of the Portuguese and Negroes to the richly togged coachman, in his gorgeous livery. He had a pleasant house in a most pic- turesque neighborhood, commanding an ex’en- sive view of Gloria Baj’, with its pretty houses and gardens, and hills crowned with chapels, having the formidaWe battery of Santa Cruz and tlie Sugar loaf in the distance, and the low fortified rock of Villegagnnn (named after a French adventurer, who endeavored to take MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH The uses of this wonderful invention were admirably illustrated one daj’ this week in the coarse of a trial in the District Court. 1 he turning point of (lie case, by a train of unex pected testimony, becamo almost entirely changed, and depended upon an entry in a book which was in New York. It was near the hour of adjournment, and the counsel sent a despatch by telegraph to New York to as certain the exact nature of the entry. He became satisfied with the answer, sent another despatch with orders to bring on the book, and a witness toveiify it, immediately. All this was done while the trial was going on and without the counsel leaving the court room. The Court adjourned without concluding the case; by 10 o’clock that niuht the witness and the books were in the city, both were thorough ly examined by the counsel, and the next morn ing tvete produced in Court.

The opposite shores, clad in rich verdue, with St. Nicholas’s Chapel on an eleva ted mount, scarcelj ever visited, except by sea men bringing presents to propitiate the Saint, in order to obtain a blessing on their day of sailing, and soliciting a successful voyage— The dwelling of Sir Sidney was picturesque and tasteful, in a splendid garden, full of tropic al fruits, aid the panorama delightful. He generally wore full uniform, and at all times a cocked hat. All this created great reverence in the minds of the Portuguese; they were foud of show and titles, for many of the shopkeep ers appeared behind their counters in the glit tering star of knighthood, and the Admiral, with his parade gave them enough of it. He had also a very pretty place on tho island of Cliacra Bragatiza, facing the city, which was spontaneously given to him by the Prince Re gent. Don Juan, in commemoration of the 29th November, 1807, when his Royal Highness, with all his family, quitted Lisbon, and was re ceived by the English fleet, the capital of Por tugal being within a few hours ufterwurds oc cupied by French troops. One part of the island was converted into a store yard, and the village was certainly a clean pretty place.— The house of the Admiral was small, and rath er dilapidated, hut still its situation was most delightful; and many an evening, at the twi- ht hour, have I sat upon the terrace, whose base was washed by the mimic waves of the river, listening to the tones of convent bells on the numerous islands, summoning the pious to their prayers,—the last rays of the golden sun contrasted with the deep green of the embow ering trees, and reflected on the smooth sut face of the clear blue waters. Sir Sidney sel dom visited it, except at a few intervals, of re tirement, or to amuse a pleasure party A strangestory.—Mr. H Moody, of Winches ter, relates the following story connected with the Winchester County jail:—About the mid die of the last century, a man who had the care of some horses in Winchester took one of them, according to the custom of the day, to water at the town pond. There lie met another man who had brought some cows to water. A dispute ensued belween them, T-nd, in the excitement, the former had recourse to n prong which he had brought with him, stabbed his antagonist in the face, and killed him. For this offence lie was committed, tried, found guilty of wilful murder and sentenced to be executed. There might have been some mitigatory circumstances in the case which, at this period, would probably reduce the crime to manslaugh- ter, and even in those days, when the laws were prodigal of life, obtained for him a respite beyond the twenty-four hours allotted, to a murderer. He was sent hack to prison, while it may be supposed the case was submitted to tho twelve judges; but days, months and years rolled away without receiving either a pardon, reprieve or order for execution. It was gener ally believed that the offence was passed over and forgotten, and nothing more would be heard of it. The governor, also, was of the same opinion, and as he had long known the unhappy man, emyloyed him first to wait upon the debtors, then to go on errands into the town, and at length he gave him tho charge of his horse. The man’s conduct was orderly; he did not once attempt to escape, and he was every night locked in his cell, like any other prisoner. One day he was sent with tho governor’s horse to Crawley, a distance of five miles, and upon his return he was immediately ordered into pri son, where his almost broken-harted master mitted to New York and answer returned until at least thirty six hours after the case had been concluded. Another instance of the rapidity of communi cation by the lightning line occurred about the same time to another member of the bar. His clients reside in Boston, and from the manner in which cases were disposed of, it became ve ry probable that their’s would be- reached.— The attorney sent a telegraphic despatch to New York it* time for that day’s Boston mail, and the result was that the parties and witness, es were warned in season, and were in this city ready for trial at the proper hour. They had depended solely on the telegraph for informa tion as to the probabilities of their case coming on, and had remained at home at tending to business for several terms of the court. With the ordinary communication by mail they would have been under the necessity of quilting their business, coming to this city, remaining at great expense every day on which the case was marked for trial, no matter how little likelihood there was of its being reached. That the telegraph had been used in numerous other cases, which will probably publicly trans pire, there can be no doubt.—Philad. Ledger. SINGULAR SEA FIGHT. On board the Peacock they witnessed a sea-, fight between a whale and one of his many ene mies. The sea was quite smooth, and offered the best possible view of the whole combat.— First, at a distance from the ship, a whale was seen floundering in a most extraordinary way lashing the smooth sea into a perfect foam, and endeavoring, to extricate himself form some an noyance. As he approached the ship, the struggle continuing anti becoming more violent, it was perceived that a fish, apparently about twenty feet long, held him by the jaw, his con tortions, spouting and throes all betokening the agony of the huge monster. Tire whale now threw himself at full length from the water, with open mouth, his pursuer still hanging to the jaw, the blood issuing from tho woul d and dying the sea to a distance around; but all his flounderings were of no avail; his pertinacious enemy still maintained his hold, and was evidently getting the advantage of him Much alarm seemed to be felt by the many other whales around. These “kiilers,” as they are called, ore of a brownish color on the back, and white on the belly, with a long dorsal fin. Such was the turbulence with which they passed, that a good view could not be had of them to make out more nearly tho de scription. These fish attack a whale in the same way as dogs bait a bull, and worry him to death. They are armed with strong sharp teeth, and generally seize the whale by the jaw. Ii is said that the only part of them they eat is the tongue. The whalers give some marvellous accounts of these killers, and of their immense strength; among them, that they have been known to drag a whale away from several boats which wore towing it to tho ship. and keeper communicated to him the fatal intelligence that the warrant from the office of the Secretary of the stale had arrived, com manding his immedinte execution, which ac tually took place on the following day. It appears that after the sentence of the judge had been confirmed, and the warrant duly signed, it was misplaced with other papers in the Secretary of Stute’s office, and was only brought to light by a change in the occupant, who fit ding it filled up; at once forwarded it to the sheriff of the county. [English paper. Rail Road from Raleigh to Columbia.— We areglud to he able to state, that this pro ject, so important to the interest of the tiavel- ling public, not less than to those of (he coun try upon the route, is not all lost sight of, but that it engages the earnest attention of those Rationale of “Not al Home.'’—There aro various understood conventions ot society, ac cording to which words spoken or written under particular circumstances have a meaning differ ent from that which the general laws of lan guage would give them. Such is, '1 am your obeditiit servant' at the foot of a letter, whiclt though not liieraiiv true, cannot be called a lie. The convention is here so established that no one is for a moment misled by it. In the same way, where, if I wish not to be interrupted by visitors, I write on my door Not al home, and, if there be a common understanding to that effect, this is no more a lie than if 1 were to write not to be seen. Bur if I put the same words in the mouth ofa servant, and if the con vention be not regularly established in all class es of socictj’, the case is different. It is a viola tion of duty in me to make the servant tell a lie; it is an offence against his moral action. He may understand the convention to be so fully established in the class with which my inter course lies, that the words though not li’erally true, convey no false belief. In this case he nitty use them, and I may direct him to use them blamelessly. But it is my duty to ascertain that lie does thus understand the words as a conventional form; and in order to give them this character he should not be allowed to devi ate from the form, or to add any false circum stances—as that his master has just gone out interested, here aud elsewhere. It is believed °r the like.”—(Wbewell s Elements of Moral- that bv. the meeting of the next Legislature, ar- ; >ty. rangdmen’s can be made to connect this enter- j prise with the purchase of the Raleigh and j Gaston Railro td from the Stale and that, at the reduced price which the whole will cost, they can be made exceedingly valuable, and reason ably profitable.

Tha surgeon looked at the finger, and then calling a servant told him to run and bring a plaster,— “run ! run ! make all possible haste,” cried lie. “O, heavens!” exclaimed the patient, in a trembling voice, “is (he danger so great ?” ‘‘Yes,” answeaed the surgeon, “the danger is very great ; for if he does not run very lust, the wound will heal before 1 can put on the plas- ier.

Value of a Newspaper.—Sir John Herschcl says of all the amusements which can possibly be imagined for a hard-working man, after his daily toils, or its inlet vaIs, there is nothing like reading an entertaining newspaper. It calls for no bodi'y exertion, of which he has had enough or too much. It relieves his home of its dullness aud sameness, which, in nine cases out often, is what drives him to the alehouse to his own ruin and his family’s. It transports him into a lovelier, and gayer and more diver sified and interesting scene—mnd while he en joys himself there, he may forget the evils of the present moment fully ns much as if lie was ever so drunk, with the groat advantages of finding himself next day with his money in his pocket} or at least laid out in real necessaries and conducts for himself and It is family, and without a headache. Nay, it accompanies hint to his next day’s wotk, and ii’ tlie paper he has been reading be anything above the very illest and slightest, gives him something to think of besides the mechanical drudgery, ot his every day occupation—something he can enjoy while absent, and look fotwatd with pleasure to return to.
