POETRY. —“A poet's hand and prophet's fire, Struck the wild warbling* of his lyre.” I CHOOSE TO LIVE ALONE. ’I he nuptial bands seem all a rage. W ith one continual tone, A, out the bachelors and maids, Because they live clone. Let others seek their happiness ; And I will -seek my own ; And let them marry if they please, I choose to live alone. V here two are formed for social life, And gentle passions own, ' fis best they should beman and wife— And I should live alone. t • Where two with tranquil peace are blest, And strife have never known, No doubt they think it is not best, That one should live alone. Increased in family and cares, They must look to their own ; Perhaps perplex’d with these affairs, l choose to live alone. While some to poverty and strife Their wretched state bemoan, And wear away to tedious life, 1 have my peace alone. Ensnar’d, and cannot disengage, The truth they will not own, But envy me my happiness, ' Because I live alone. The force of love I don’t deny, Its gentle power I own ; But prize my liberty so high, I choose to live alone. MHSCELIaANEOVS. TEN UPON ELEVEN. We sonic time since related q story of a i Frenchman. As an offset, we now ‘•ive one (l a jockying Frenchman. This, l:.i; firmer, 'urns upon the sale of a lorse; sun! also, like that, has it scene a wav South. Mohs. Jarvais, the Frenchmen, had astced tor sale, which he recommended as “one vor “ ,iG h.tnimalle—one horse elegant extraordi ■ jure,” “iloiv old do you call him?” asked the purchaser. “How old?” said the Frenchman—“Yy, sarc, lie is sumsen like ten upon eleven. *“ Not older ?” “ sure, he is no oldair vat I teliv you.” “On your honor?” “ Oui, sure, on me ver sacrc honor, vat me telly you is de trute—he is no oldair as ten upon eleven.

But the new owner was a short time afterwards told,by a judge of horse flesh, that he had got monstrously bitten by the Frenchman in regard to the’age of the steed, vv iiicii was at least twice as old as he had pur* chased him for. i I pn this he went in a great fury to the Frenchman, and exclaimed— “• Confound your lying French tongue ! that horse is twice as old as you said.” “Sare!”exclaimed Jarvais’ with well feign ed astonishment.

SHIPWRECK. “It was a wild and breaker-beaten coast, Willi cliffs above and a broad sandy shore, * * * * * * And rarely ceased the haughty billows roar.”, Don Juan. We need not, and shall not, attempt to paint, with “ fancy’s gilded imagery” the horrors of a Shipwreck...that has been done. The task was in better hands and on more fit occasions. The in spired Byron has travelled o’er the field, and his brilliant fancy lias well-wrought all the materiel. Yet, scarely has our countryi.t* i Cooper, been less propitious in poutraying the awfulness of the subject. It has become a mournful reflection within the past few days that the brig Edwina, with 23 passengers,for New-York, has been lost at sea ! the particulars of which we find better embodied in the letter from Mr. Champlain, and which we are permitted to extract, than those tnentioned in the papers. The authenticity of the state ment, coming from one of our citizens, who was a deep sufferer in the w reck, and who had so muclffcause for mourning over his loss, (his wife) and gratitude for his own deliverance, will give greater interest, and a truer account of this me lancholy calamity, than any thing which we can say. The extracts arc referred to for a particular account of the picture, which hangs with so much gloom before us. Extracts from a letter from Mr. G. Champlain, oj 1 his place, to a gentleman in Macon, dated “ New-York, June 9, 1832. “It is with much pain and sorrow, I communf cate the relation ofa most melancholy event —one which not only destroys my peace, hut meat car ry grief and mourning to many hearts! * * [The writer here pathetically announces that his wife is lost!] —and then goes on ; “ We left Charleston on the 2d June, in the fine new brig Edwina, with a fair wind. The next evening, about 5 o’clock, the appearance of the clouds was rather threatening, hut not alarming; Mary Ann and myself were sitting together on deck... she had just recovered from sea-sickness, and appeared quite cheerful. The Captain came add requested her to go to the cabin, as it was going to rain. She wentdown with Mrs. Cohen. 1 left her a few minutes after, to go on deck, to see what the prospects were. The crew were taking in sail, and preparing the vessel for a squall, which soon commenced with great vio lence ; but no one apprehended danger at the mo ment. In an instant, however, it came on so tre mendous as to render the vessel unmanageable: she Capsised instantly -and filled. I never shall forget the awful scene ! The entrance to the ca- i bin was under water.. .the passengers and crew I Struggling iu the w... t s am 1 , rigging. 1 do not j know how i saved myself; U uoh ! the thoughts ; ot my poor wile’s situation !...drowning, when] the tvdfld could not save her!...but her struggles were bettor a moment. i lie stern of dip vessel was under water very! soon : and nothing but some cotton bides kept her bow out of the water. Mrs. Cohen arid two children were in the cabin with Mrs. Champlain, but it was impossible for man to save them.... .Mr. Cohen’s son was dragged up from the rig ging under the water, bv the hair, by a sailor...a passenger was washed overboard and lost; those who were saved received severe injuries by the waves dashing them against the vessel or spare. \\ bile wo lay in this awful situation, it appeared as if the elements were dissolving, such was the vivid lightning, and heavy peals of thunder strik ing around us; with torrents of rain, overwhelm ed every soul with despair. I had no expec’ *. on of living an hour. Every tongue was crying for mercy; and some were attempting to throw them selves into the sea, at once to end their miseries. At last the squall abated and passed awav, and 1 was the first to descry a sail about (j miles off, steering .directly for us, but we could not be, and were not discovered by them, (we lay just at the water’s edge)—Hope revive and our despair; hut in a few minutes more, another squall came and throw us into despondency and agony. It was so severe, we were compelled to hold on to the side of the brig for safety; this lasted for half an hour—but a mysterious Providence saw there was destruction enough ! The clouds pass ed away sufficiently to let the declining sun re vive us. I was theH on the bowsprit, and as soon as the mist had dispersed, the vessel was again in sight, but not steering directly toward us as before ; she continued her course until she had made the nearest point to us her course would al low, and in fact was beginning to recede—the sun was almost down. Oh! how awful was the suspense !—at last, the ship bore away for us and made sail....she was then three or four miles off. At dark the last living soul was taken from the wreck ! It was an awful reflection for the pas sengers of the ship; they were deeply excited... the Captain feultered in his words. * * I cannot continue this subject, under present feelings ; but imperfect as this statement is, in some respects, it contains sad truths.” By this morning's mail we received the follow ing : Ship Amelia. Parry. 6 days from Charleston. Oa the .‘!.i iust. iri lat. 31 50, long. 74 15, at 5 p. m. fell in with tire wreck of brig Edwina, dis masted and full of water, and at 7p. in. tons trim her the following passengers: Col.

'The passengers lost were Mrs. Cohen and two chil dren. Mrs. Champlin, and Johannes Brash. A Card. —'The passengers of the brig Edwina, tender to Captain Marges, Ids mate and crew' their most grateful thanks for their great exer tions and assistance in protecting them from the perils by which they were surrounded, whilst on the wreck of the Edwina; and also to Captain Berry, oi the ship Amelia,for his prompt and man ly conduct in sending his boat to rescue them from inevitable destruction, and for bis subse quent generous and benevolent treatment during the time they were on board bis vessel. And they also bog leave to tender to the passengers on board the Amelia, their most cordial thanks for their friendly offerings and assistance. mb. FORSYTH. A large meeting of the Union party was held in Charleston lately, when the following resolu tion was unanimously adopted. Resolved. I hat the ] lon. John Forsyth, of Geor gians entitled to the warmest thanks of the Union party of South-Caroliua, for his manly and gene rous defence, in the Senate of the United States, of their principles aud motives, when gratuitous ly assailed and traduced by a Senator of their own State, in secret session of the Senate. • RESPECT TO WASHINGTON’ IRVING. On the recent return of this great votary of Li terature and Science, and who has contributed so largely to the elevation of the American charac ter, many o 1 the citizens of New-Y ork, tendered him assurance of their respect, and solicited him to partake of a public dinner, that they might tes tify it. Fite brilliant and interesting career of IVasJt i"<pton Irving , has entwined around him a halo of glory—and attached to him the homage which commanding talents, and devoted patriotism, ever merit, and which is so deservingly bestowed on our American. To him, perhaps, more than any other individual, is the name of America advanc ed to a high and acknowledged niche in the tem ple of Science and Literature ; and to him, too is the merit of having falsified tnc dogmatical re proach, formerly levelled at us by European Ko viewers—that we were Vet m the twaddling ac tiou of Literary glory ; and. until recently, invi diously said, “ Who reads an American Book ? Who writes an American Book ?” We are not prepared to go through with all the interesting' details on the occasion* but, after quoting the following prelude, in the language of the Albany Argus, we are forcibly struck with the sentiments of Chancellor Kent, and the soul enkindling reply of Mr. Irving. They are here with appended. “It was indeed an eminent manifestation of such feelings of high personal regard and of na tional partiality as serve to adorn and digniliy our nature. “It was probably the most interest-! ing and animated scene of festivity (says thei American) that ever occurred here. The occa- \ sion was so Unusual—the guest so distiu misned. and the circumstances under vt hich the friends of his youth and the sons of the friends of his youth had met to do him honor, so inspiriting, that we venture to say that not a man sat down to those tables who rose from them without having ex perienced emotions among the most generous and pleasurable that were ever awakened in his! bosom. From the first burst of feeling which! escaped those seated at the table when, upon tiie ! band striking up a national air, Mr. living e.u-! tered me dining saloon, till the mirth awakened by the last sally of convivial humor died away I it was one scene.of hilarity, enthusiastic emotion j and cordial good fellowship.” “ Literature, Corm'vrte and the Fine .Irls„ .their ' union, the glory of our patent iauu.. .soea ties-! lined to adcrti our own,” i Alter this toast, the President, (Chancellor Kknt,) rose ._nd delivered the following Ad dress : “ NVe have met to express to a distinguish* <:•! leiio-v-citiz u, our gratitude for the exalt ed tank to which lie ims raised the literate reputation ol tuts country ; to testify admira tion ol his genius, and to shew that we cor dially partake of the kindly and generous sympathies which pervade and have been dit iu.st.n by his works. i :tc mention ol tins subjrot calls up a crowiLol associations and recollections, which e ven adequately to refer to, would carry me iar beyond the limits of the time arid the oe.ea ston; but on which tnv feelings compel me lor a lew moments to linger. 'V hen the gentleman alluded to, commen ced his brilliant career (and which we trust is *ar lrom its termination,) bv a dtsphtv of the wit and humor, the keen satire and sprightlv portraits wbic 1 distinguished his earliest pro eduction (in which it is understood lie was as siateii by a kindred genius) we had s* arcily any literary character as a nation, though we were entitled to claim the exhibition oi a due share of national energy arid enterprise. Our tiiste and maimers were greatly in need of improvement. The admirable work to w hich 1 have referred, partook largely of a dramatic character, and being armed with wit and pow ers ol the highest order, it undertook to chas tise foliy, correct false taste, reform bad mari ners, arid mend the heart. The effect was weil received, and the public judgment had no reason in any wise to be offended. No oinposiliops ol the kind were ever more dis tinctly stamped with tire impressions of ster ling morals and invariable good feelings, or more free from envy, hatred, malice anti all uncitarituhlcncss. Thu work even abounded .w itn loucnes ol sentiment arid pathos, and uitn fictitious scent s calculated to awaken the deepest sympathy. ilte iegt nd of the trrst colonization of this city, and of the adjacent shores, must at this moment be vivid in the memories of us all. h'ucii a mock-heroic history ! written in the finest strain ol burlesque gravity, and ludic rous description, and of playful hut pointed satire and ridicule. It has rarely, perhaps ■I ver, been surpassed, not even by Rabelais oi Swift, in iis power, spirit, and effect. It was, ac tile same tune, written with ?o much good temper and humanity, that there is no thing in it justly chargeable with a tendency to make one worthy man %ts joe. i no materials ot both tints a satirical pro ductions tvere ot native grow?!;. They par - toos ot no transatlantic 11 not. They were original and inimitable eroa.tious.of American genius, in all its freshness, fulness and s.rength, and solely erected u on American topics. But tlie mind tat prodnead them was soon dcstim and to display in another hem isphere its powers ol thought and invention, umibst the beautiful scenes of rural life, ami the magnificent remains of Gothic grandeur. In tee sketches and essays of Geoffrey Crayon, we have a series of liberal, moral and pathetic reflections, interwoven with legen dary tales of fascinating interest, and ad ru ed with the untmost purity of taste ana ele gance of style. Many of the stories possess the charm of the finest fictions in the English classics. The liberality, the gentleness, the philanthropy, the taste, the sound judgment and varied accomplishments of the writer seem to have at once surprised and delighted the English reader. Titos; sketches were attcndi and with magical effects. Arrogance stood rebuked and ashamed, arid prejudice was subdued and succeeded by ad miration and love. '• e rejoiced lo behold one of our own na tive sons rival on English ground, the gr; • and elegance, the pathos and lofty morals of Addison, Goldsmith and Mackenzie; w\ share;! equally with our transatlantic breth ren in the afforded by his graphic descriptions; and hung with an equal inten sity ot interest over the descriptions of som< °t his matchless Englisli scenes atul inci dents. Hut we are free to admit that v.c took a far deeper interest in those cnchantum vis ions which brought us hack to the holders of the romantic Hudson ; “to the blue mils of our own country, which we love so dearly,” to die “ deep mount tin glens” of the Kaats kills, and to the “ twilhght superstitions” of the; Sleepy Holloa'. Through all the writings of our distinguish ed countryman, even in his earlier ami sprightlier productions, we meet with occa sional sentiments of high and grave import, the genuine growth ol ardent fet lings, which go directly to the heart. Nothing can he more -soothing and gratifying to meditative minds than such pensive, chaste and mellow ed reflections, arising from views of autumnal scenery, the ruins of ancient art, and the monuments of departed greatness. Tile gentleman who favored the world with these productions, not contented with enjoy ing the admiration of the Republic of Letters to a very eminent degree, was in the mean ti4)> busy in earning lor himself a title to a still higher niche in tue templo of fame.— Having access lo original and fresh docu ments relating to the iite of Christopher Co s• lambus, he was encouraged arid enabled to undertake and execute a great historical, work, anil on a subject the most rich in its d< tails, anri the most magnificent in its results of any that ever employed the pen of the historian’. | il<; brought to the task, all his great and diversified powers. Ilis materials were se lected with judgment and studied with dili gence, arranged null skill and exhibited ; Wi,h fidelity, polished with taste and recom mended by finished specimens of a graceful, flow mg and dignified composition. The dis covery of America was essentially a domestic theme, i'uough the enterprise was begun :n Europe, it was consummated on this side of the Atlantic. The settlement of this new vvoini seems to be a subject peculiarly appro, priatc to the pen of an American writer, who would naturally toe! and appreciate most deeply and justly, the inestimable value of me discovery and the mighty consequences of the establishment of great nations on this Continent, with their language and institu tion--a their frecdotfi of religion, their arts and sciences, spreading themselves ofer its sur i-jce. i’iin choice was mo-t pro -it ous, and history of tie 1 rcaml Voyages of Vo ■ int: s will probatJ, Lneome the standard work on that suljict through’all succeeding u -’' s * It equals the most distinguisheu ins compost Uor:g, not o.Jv in the* of the subject, but in the judgment, skill, spirit and tel.city '.l 1 1s i.xi" ut on. i his croim ut historian, honored anti i - abroad, now returns with joy to th home of Lis you'll ant! to tli- beloved com:* n ioes ami scenes of ins earito.it glory.

He observed T that he believed most 01 his hearers were sensible of bis be mg wholly •mused to public speaking, but h< should be wanting in the feelings of human nature if he vv re not roused and excited by ni-j pr-sent scene. Alt r renewed cheeriiig, i:e proceie.ed in, as nearly as can be recol lected, the following words: “ l ‘hid myself, after a long absence of seventeen years, surrounded by the friends of my youth-—t.y t . ose whom in rny early days 1 was accustomed to look up to with vc-neia tma by o'.tiers who, though personally new to me, ! rt cognize as the sons of the patri archs of my inHjve city, The maimer in winch 1 nave been rec< ived by thorn has ren ::ered tti s the proudest, the handiest moment ot my life. And what has rendered it more poignant is, that 1 had been led, at times, to ooubt my standing in the affections of my' countrymen, Humors and suggestions had reached me, [Here Mr. fi ring betrayed much emotion,] that absence had impaired their kind feelings—they they considered nir i alienated in heart from my country. (Jentle nit n, l vi ns too prqtnl to vindicate my self from such a charge ; nor should J have alluded to it at this time, if the warm and affectionate reception I have met with on ail sides since my landing, and the overpowering toti inoiii .ls of regard here offered me, had not proved that my misgivings were groundless. [Cheers and clapping here interrupted the speaker for a few moments.] A< ver, cer t ii- ly, did a man return to his native place, after so long an absence, undi r happier aus pices. On my side, I sec changes, it ;s true, but they are cua.rgcs of r uid improve meat and growing prosperity; even the coun tenances fofmv ohf associates and townsmen ban appeared to me but slightly affect'd tv the lapse of years, tho’ perhaps it was the glow of ancient friends;.ip and heart-felt welcome beaming front them, that prevented m : from seeing the ravages of time. As to my native city, from the time I ap }trouchedthe coast, i had indications of its growing greatness. We had scarce dcs. ried the land, w hen a thousand sails of all descrip tions gleaming along the horizon, and >!l standing to or from one point, showed that w e wt re in the n ighhorliood of a vast com mercial cm] tori urn. As 1 sailed up our beautiful Lay, with a heart swelling with oh! rocollt :tm::s and delightful associations, 1 was astonished to see its once wild features brightening with populous villages and nobh piles, and a seeming city extending itself over heights Which i had left covered with groves and forests [alluding, probably, to Brooklyn and Gowannas.] But how shall l describe my emotions vvh* >• our city rose to sight, seated m the midst of ifs watery do main, stivtching away to n vast extent; when ! beheld a glorious sunshine lightening up the spires and domes, some familiar to ni mo rv others hew and unknown, and beaming upon forest masts of every nation, extending as far as the eye could reach. I have gazed will admiration upon many a fair citv ami stately harbor, but rny admiration was cold and ineffectual, for 1 was a stranger, and iiad no property m the soil. Her , however, my art throbbed with pride and joy as I ad mired— i i.uu a birth-right in the brilliant scene before me: ‘This was my own my native land.’ [Mr. Irving was here interrupted bv im mense applause : when the cheering had sub sided he went on as fallows:] “ It has been asked ‘can I be content to live in this country?’ Whoever asks that question must have but an inadequate idea of its blessings and delights. What sacrifice of njoyments have Ito reconcile myself to ? I come from gloomier climates to one of bril liant sunshine and inspir ng puritv. 1 come from countries lowering with doubt and dan ger, where the rich man trembles and the poor man frown*—where all repine at the I pr sent and dread the future—l come from these, to a Country where all is life and uni-; mat ion ; where I hear on every side the sound of exultation; where every one speaks of the past with triumph, the present with delight, tin future with growing and confident antici pation. Is this not a community in which dne may rejoice to live? Is this dot a ritv by winch one may be proud to be received as: the son ? Is this not aland in which one! may be happy to fix his destiny, and atni.i- j tious, if possible, to found a name?” (A i hurst, of applause, when Mr. Irving quickly resumed :) —“ lam asked hoiv long I mean to ! remain litre? They know but lit'lc of tnv ' heart or my fee!ins who can ask m. thisqin s-j tiou ! As long as I live.” The roofnow rung with bravos, harnlk. r ciiiefs were waved on every side, “ three cheers” again and again, and plaudit upon plaudit, follow in such quick succession, b . gun, ended and begun again, that it was soim time before tli toast with which Mr. Irving concluded, A>u!d lie heard.
