POETRY.
THE LAUNCH OF THE BRANDYWINE.
From the Rhtdc It land American
She has gone with a lovely and beautiful motion,
To dwell on the blue heaving bosom of Ocean ;
The glad waters sparkled and welcom’d her home,
And wreathed round herfirow a white garland of
foam,
And the wave murmur’d sweetly, with grace and
with pride,
When she gave her fair form to the breast of the
tide.
Proud ship ! thou shall carry thy standard afar,
Freedom’* liyht to ifie oations—her glorious star—
And wherever its foldings are kissed by the gale,
Shall Liberty triumph and Tyranny quail,
And the Eagle, whose wings are spread o’er it
shall be
A sign and a type of thy country and thee.
Tbon wast nursed on the earth, but thy home is
the sea.
And free as its waters thy courses shall be ;
Thy keel shall glide over the clear wave that
smiles
And sparkles in light round the -Egeati isles;
Thy canvass shall whiten the North’s stormy seas
And swell with the breath of the sunny Sonlh’s
brttze.
When the terrible wars of the elements rave,
Thou shalt ride on the top of the loftiest wave,
Aud when Ocean is still as the Halcyon’s wing.
Thou shalt rest on its bosom—a beautiful thing—
Like a painted cloud seen in the blue depths of
air,
When no traces of storm or of tempest are there.
E.
Additional Stanza, by tlie Editor of the Rhode
Island Journal.
Oh! wilt thou not feel e’n a living emotiou,
When first thou shalt glide o’er the broad track
of Ocean,
And spread thy white canvass in pride to the gale,
With tne prayers of a nation to swell the full sail?
And while liberty lives shall her friends e’er for
_ .
Thou bore to his home the belov’d ffalayette ?
Extract of a letter from a geutleraan travelling in
the Slate of New York, to the eih'ors of the
National Intelligencer.
Lockport. Juke 25, 1825.
Grand Celebration at Lockport. —l arrived
here on the eveot St. John, and that day
bad been fixed upon Tor laying the cap
stone of the magnificent work of masonry
which the locks here present. Early id
the morning, the citizens from the surround
ing country began to assemble, and Lock
port, where a few years past, scarce a hu
man visage was to he seen, could now shew
her thousands —the place was crowded, to
to overflowing; indeed, the evening ! at
rived, not a bed was to be had at a tavern,
but 1 fortunately met with a friend, the
lion. J. G. Bond, who said I mtwt go home
with him, and the offer was as freely ac’
cepted as it was kindly given. The Roy
al Arch Chapter of Lockport, am! that of
Rochester, attended, and many of the Ma
sonirk fraternity from Buffaloe. There
were about three hundred Masons present,
and they moved in procession about 12 o’
clock from the Niagara Hotel to the locks,
and descended the long flight of steps
which are seen on each side of the doulde
combined locks down to the Gennesse lev
cl, and then ascended by the flight of broad
steps jn the centre, to an arch which is
thrown across the Canal. Below and in
front of’ the arch there was a platform over
the Canal, and there the arrgels were
ed. Through the attention and politeues*
of my friend, I was placed near the centre
Among the Royal Arch, were I had a com
plete view of the whole scene. The an
gels, you may think, ought to have been
placed above, as they are justly entitled—
it was, however, very pleasing to me to
see them looking up so sweetly at us. Oue,
in particular, with large blue eyes, and an
uncommonly intelligent countenance, drew
my particular attention She was dressed
in a brown crape, and was one of the choir
who raised the hymn of praise when the
ceremonies began; and I could not but
mentally say, “ Happy is the man who
shall call her wife—happy the child that
calls her mother.” Alter the hymn, a
prayer was offered to the Grand Architect
off the Universe and an excellent oration
delivered by the Rev. Mr. Cummins, of Ro
chester, who is one of the brethren who
delight to dwell in unity. The cap stone
was then laid with the usual solemnities,
and the corn, and the wine, and the oil,
poured over it, and the Royal Arch Chap
ters marched around, whilst the sweet sis
ters were singing, “It is finished—our la
bour’s o’er—the work is done.” The loud
peals of artillery then sounded in our .ears
—not that common artillery, which we have
heard so often—but the artillery of Lock
port, formed by the same hands which
have here conquered nature- Large holes
bad been made in the neighbouring rocks,
end these were filled with powder, and
when the matches were applied, (be rocks
were rent and scattered through the air in
ten thousand pieces. The whole scene
was uncommonly grand, and the surround
ing hills were crowded with many thousand
spectators, who had all very good situations
for viewing it.
What an astonishing change has a few
years made at Lock Port! It appears like
the work of magick; it almost surpasses
belief. Yet great and vast as this under
■Liking has leeD, it is in its turn to find a so
periocr: Yes*, the Old Allegany itfclf is
soon to submit to the same operation which
the Mountain Ridge has undergone, and
(hat will still be a more magnificent work;
a work which will not have its equal in
the world, and i look forward with no little
degree of pleasure to the day when the
same ceremonies which I have here wit
nessed in New York, shall be repeated in
Maryland. And when that duy arrives,
and it will soon arrive, I think that it would
not be a hard task for me to say—“ Let me
depart in peace: for the prosperity oi Ma
ryland is now established on a sure and
strong foundation, and the Union oi the
States is fixed on an eternal basis.”
After the ceremonies were over, the
brethren again descended to the lower
locks, and again re-asceoded, and marched
to “The Cottage”—a very pleasant Hotel,
and there sat down to a plentiful repast.
There were three very extensive tables,
and I was delighted to find that the lair
sisters of Lockport aud neighbourhood
were placed iu the centre. The Cottage
Garden presented a beautiful and interest
ing scene, for here not only brotherly love
was exhibited, but sisterly regard and at
feclion shone sweet and bright. 1 shall
never forget Lock Port—and freely united
in the sentiment of one of the songs com
posed on the occasion :
“ O ! may this day forever be
Remembered as a jubilee 1
The Lakes, the llivers, join the sea
The Ocean weds Lake Erie.”
I am yours, sincerely.
Notwithstanding the severe laws-prohib>
itmg the exhibition of Faro Banks and other
gambling establishments, in the state of
Virginia, the practice seems rather to in
crease than diminish. The Grand Jury of
the Superiour Court now sitting in Rich
mond, returned on Thursday last, one hun
dred and nine presentments —twenty-five of
which were against individuals for exhibit
ing Faro Banks—ooe lor exhibiting a game
called Roulette—one for suffering and per
mitting the game of Roulette to be exhibit
ed, and fifty nine tor playing at Faro and
Roulette.
Should the indictments be sustained, the
punishment is confinement in the peniten
tiary ; and if any thing can check the horri
ble depravity of encouraging and supporting
a gang of professional swindlers, one would
suppose that the awful spectacle of eighty
rational beings marching at one lime to such
an ignominious doom, ought to have a salu
tary effect.
We trust the citizens of Richmond will
yet succeed in sunpressic g a vice at once
destructive of the morals of iheir youth,
and injurious to the character of that en
lightened and hospitable city.

TO THE PUBLICK.
Whereas David Thayer , my husband, by pub
lick notice in the Vermont Watchman, has for
bidden all persons trusting me on bis account,
and states that he will pay no debts of my con

publick that he has lately taken the poor man’s
oath oil the small sum of seven bushels of ashts ;
and I have not been able for years to obtain one
_S*nt on my dear husband's credit, but have dis
charged some of his small debts. I now state
that I will pay no more debts of his contracting,
and I earnestly request all persons not to trust

“ It is composed entirely as its title implies, of
selections fromforeign journals. A few words
may show that it is, however, far from being ad
verse to our own institutions or literatnre—and
that on the contrary, it may have an iinportanr
efiect in preventing the dissemination of doctrine?)
in discordance with the principles upon which
our society is constituted. Some of the British
Reviews and .Magazines are reprinted in thii
couutry exactly as they appear at home, and they
as well as those which are not published herer,
embrace much matter of little interest and no ad
vantage to our readers—and which ia not unfrer
quently fitted to vitiate their literary taste, the hi
morals, and their political principles. But while
it cannot be denied that there is in all these for
eign journals a large part v/hich consists of detail*
and speculations which are uninteresting to Amer
ican readers, or mischievous in their political or
moral tendency, it is equally certain that a con
siderable portion of their contents is of general
application and of interest and value, and that
they embrace much that is in a very high degree
interesting and curious—practical, sound and
able—refined and elegant ; much that will excite
thought and refine the imagination —that will
“raisethe genius and mend the heart.” Anil
when we consider that the greatest philosophers
and statesmen, as well as poets, criticks, and all
other men of literature, now find the periodical
press the channel through which their opinion*
can be conveyed 1o the greatest number of men,
it will appear very evident, that a knowledge of
what is thus written and done abroad is necessary
to the successful cultivation of our own literature,
and important to the politician, scholar and man
of business, as well as to him who reads only for
amusement.
To persons who reside at a distance frem the
great depositories of New Books and New Invent
tions, a work conducted upon this plan is pecu
liarly important, as affording to them an opportu
nity of keeping pace in some degree with the pro
gress of knowledge, at a very trifling expense of
money or time.
When it is added that most of the literature of
the dgy is not easily accessible in any other thau
this form to onrfamilies, it wilt readily he ac
knowledged that a work conducted upon the
plan of the Museum may be in a very considera
ble degree interesting or valuable. How far this
Journal has been successful in endeavouring to
merit these appellations, must be determined by
the publick ; and the rapid increase of the sub
scription list is the most gratifying proof ot sus*
cess.”
