The name of the lady we are not permitted to ex pose before the broad gaze of the gazette-reading world; but her lines will recommend themselves without a name.

That fav’ring smile, that brighten’d eye, That tells the heart’s warm ecstacy, I have noi seen —I may not see But maiden kind ! thy gift shall be A more esteemed and cherished prize Than fairest smiles or brightest eyes. And this rich trophy of the poet’s power, Sh&ll shine on many a lone and distant hour, Praise from the fair, however bestow'd we greet. In words and looks, out-speakmg words; ’us sweet; But when it breathes in bright and polish’d lays, Warm from a kindred heart, this, this is praise. Wc are not strangers:—In our hearts we own Chords that must ever beat in unison. The same touch wakens them; m all we see Or hear, oi feel, we own a sympathy. We look where nature’s charins in beauty rise; And the same transport glistens in our eyes, The joys of others cheer us, and we keep, A readv tear to weep with those that weep. ’Tis this that, in the impassioned hour, Gives to the favor'd bard lhe power, As sweetly flows the stream ot song, To bear the raptur’d soul along. And make it, captive to his will, And all bis ow n emotion thrill. This is lhe tie that binds us : —’tis the glow. The “gushing warmth” of heart, that Poets know".

Chandeliers made of bayonets, battle lanterns and candles in any quantity were disposed all over the hall. A splendid supper was set out on the gun-deck below, draped in with flags. Our own a. d the Constellation’s boats were to be at the pier at nine o’clock to bring off the ladies; and at noon every thing promised of the brightest. First, about four in the afternoon, came up a saucy looking cloud from the westernmost peak of the Friuli. Then followed from every point towards the north, an extending edge of a broad, solid black sheet which rose with the regularity of a curtain, and began to send down a wind upon us which made us look anxiously to our ball-room bowlines. The midshipmen were all forward, watching it from the forecastle. The lieutenants were in the gangway, watching it from the ladder. The commodore looked seri ously out of the larboard cabin port. It was as grave a ship’s company as ever looked out for shipwreck. The country about Trieste is shaped like a bellows, and the city and harbour lie in the nose. They have a wind that comes down through the valley, called the “bora,” which several times in the year is strong enough to lift people from their feet. We could see by the clouds of dust on the mountain roads that it was coming. At six o’clock the shrouds began to creak; the white tops flew from the waves, showers of spray, and the roof of our sea palace began to shiver in the wind. There was no more hope. A\c had waited even too long. All hands were called to take down the chandeliers, sword-stars, and ottomans; and before it was half done, the storm was flying and flapping, the nicely chalked decks were swashed with rain, and st ewn with leaves of flowers, and the whole structure the taste and labor of the ship’s company for two days, was a watery wreck. Lieutenant , who had the direction of the whole, was the officer of the deck. He sent for his pea-jacket, and leaving him to pace out nis watch among the ruins of his imagination, we went below to get early to bed and forget our disappointment in sleep. Tho next morning the sun rose without a veil. The “blue Friuli” looked clear and fresh; the south-west wind came over softly from the shore 6f Italv, and we commenced retrieving our dis aster with elastic spirit. Nothing had suffered seriously except the flowers, and boats were des patched ashore for fresh supplies, while the awnings were lifted higacrand widei than before, the bright colored flags replaced, the arms po- I lished and arranged in improved order; and the i decks re-chalked with new devices. At six in J the evening every thing was swept up, and the ! ball-room astonished even ourselves. It was i the preticst place for a dance in the world. The ship has an admirable band of 20 Ita.ians, ! collected from Naples and other ports, and a fanciful orchestra was raised for them on the laboard side of the mainmast: I hey struck up i a march as the first boatfull of ladies stepped 1 upon the deck, and in the course of half an hour, i the waltzing commenced with at least two him dred couples, while the ottoman and seats under ' the hammock cloth were filled with spectators! i The frigate lias a lofty poop and there was a • loom with a temporary balustrade, wreathed I with flowers and studded with lights, and the cabin beneath, on a level with the mam ball room, was set out with card tables I- rom the j gangway entrance, the scene was like the bnl . lian” the trical ballet. , ■ An amusing part of it was the sailors mn a- ■ lion on tin-forward decks. Ihey had taker, the waste shrubberry and evergreens, ol which there ' was a great quantity, and had formed a sort <>l ! orove, extending all round. It was arched with i the festoons of leaves, with quantums ot Iran ’tied among them; and over the ent. ancc w-.s i i rrviiah Dicturc oi <1 fniintc with the* suspended a rough picture b I inscription- “Free trade and sailors , ighls. lhe forecastle was ornamented w.tn cutlasses and one or two nautical transparencies, with pis tols and miniature ships interspersed, and th while lit up handsome ly. The men their white duck ttowsers and blue and 1 sat round on the guns playing draughts, or lis tening to the music, or gazing at the ladies con stanth promenading fore and aft, and to me this was one of the most interesting parts of the spectacle. Five hundred weather-beaten and manly faces arc a fine sight any where. The dance went gaily on. The reigning ■ belle was an American, but we Lad lovely wo ‘men of all nations among .mr guests.—l here are several wealthy Jewish families in f ncste ■ r.d ‘.bell dark eyed daughter?, wc rrr- ny at had seen Pa r ma. We went below at midnight to supper, and the ladies came up with renewed spirit to the dance. It was a brilliant scene indeed. The officers of both ships in lull uniform, the gentlemen from shore, mostly military, in full dress, the gaity of the bright bunting, laced with white and blue* and studded, wherever they would stand, with flowers, and the really uncommon number of beautiful women, with the foreign features and complexions so rich and captivating to our eyes, produced altogether an effect unsurpassed by any thing 1 have ever seen even at the court jetes of Europe. The day light gun fired at the close of a gallopade t and the crowded boats pul led ashore with their lovely freight by the broad light of morning. From the Phil. U. S. Gazelle. <■l Bull Chase.— Yesterday afternoon between 5 and 6 o’clock, the sober inhabitants of Ches nut street were startled with a general outer? of“clear the road”—there he comes,” and on looking, sure enough he did come. A bull or an ox, about three years old, had taken upon himself the responsibility of promenading Ches nut street without an attendant, and he made clear work of it as far as he went. Near Fifth street the cloak of a gentlemen, blowing out into the wind, attracted the attention of the animal, and he flew at it with a singular grace. The owner slipped the fastening, and left the garment. After a single toss of the affair the bull pursued his way downward, but was soon attracted by the comely appcrance of a black man breaking coal. The beast rushed upon the heap, making a glorious clattering with hishoofs. The regul ar coal breaker, not relishing a partnership in his business, dropped his hammer and withdraw from the concern. By this time, the shoutings of the citizens had infused a new fire into the veins of the bull, and he took up his line of march at a rapid rate. Hurrah, shouted the boys—“there lie comes,” said a woman—and on went the bull, bellowing like a roaring lion, peeling it down the street like a streak of lightn ing, his tai) cocked right into the air like a flag staff, anil his head flying about like a politician’s looking for the strongest side. Arrived at the brow of the hill at Front stret, bis coming was discovered by the unmerous persons on board the steam boat at Chesnut street wharf. “ What’s that I” shouted one. “ It’s the veto,” replied another, “ Stop him !” they all shouted ; and they formed a bold front, to keep such an invasion from the deck of the steamboat. Meantime the animal came down the hill with a marvellous velocity—wheelbarrows and handbarrows were scattered like dust from his path—nothing obstructed his course—away he went at full speed, over ropes and hawsera, stretched along to fasten the steamboat—high above every let and hindrance, he cleaicd the whole at a single leap, and struck the Delaware, sixteen feet from the wars. Landsmen and watermen, fishmen and butchers, then betook themselves to the boats to catch the handsome beast, —Jove himself never took a more beauti ful form, —but all exertions were fruitless. On he went, master alike of his own pathway, in the water as on the land. He directed his courso for Smith’s island, and landed safe, where at tho last report he was setting up bis rest— “ Lord of the fowl and the brute.” From the Philadelphia Intelligencer. LORENZO DOW. This eccentric and far-famed preacher is no . more. He has gone to receive the rewards of an erratic, but perhaps useful fife. He died at Georgetown, D. C. on Monday last. w men, of the same i unible origin and at tainments, have made more noise m both hern, ispheres. than Lorenzo. Gifted with a liberal share of plain “ mother wit,” he made it sub. servient in his sermons, addresses and printed books, and seldom m the course o! any one has that quality been more potent ; sometimes against its author aud his cause, but as often, perhaps, in favor of both. The history of Dow is every way curious and useful. It was in his lot to find a wife of like character with himself; and they plodded the journey of life together, with congenial hopes and feelings. It seems to have been the opin. ion of Loth that the world was a!' going astray, and that they were born to set it right, and res. tore integrity to the disjointed times. Their marriage was singular. Lorenzo saw Lis fu. ture spouse m a room at a meeting ; he stepped up to her and asked if she 'could fancy bin, enough to take hun lor a husband ? She repli ed ves, very promptly, and the knot was tied. ' After this they traversed the w ilds of the cat.
