To AIN* Caroline.
'Oh I ran mem misfortune's tide
And lieiir the whole world’ll enter,
'Cen bear lire haughty glanca of pride
Without « (tingle tear—
‘Can amilt on thing, above, below,
However coarse or fine,
While I might gaze around and know
My fticiid'a Miaa^Caiolino,
The dangers oflhe battle field,
Not foo nordeath IM fear—
Kush to the fight, nor dare to yield
If Caroline bo there;
To ib H her smiles of tenderness,
Ho lovely, M divine
Os kindness ever brvathed to bleu,
Cornea from Miss Caroline
Now aa I view from day to day
Her lovely form and faco,
I'm almost tempted at limes tossy,
Come melt in this embrace—
For her I live, for her I move,
No o'hnr joys are mine;
How happy I'l bo if ever I prove
I'm loved by Caro'ine.
fndeed it is too much, this beait
Must break when she is gone;
It must not be, wo must not part,
I cannot bo nlmro—
Tor bet I'd climb the mountain aide
For one so fair end fine;
O'er frightful sleeps and rocks I'd stride,
I'd die for Caroline.

All nature is changed anil I my fate deplore,
fair Julia's gone and pleasure is no more;
Rite's gone, ah gone anil nil my charms decay,
Hoe dismal clouds obscure the cltuciful day;
Hce on tba carlh the roses now dead bo,
When site was bote they bloomed, but now '
they die;
Ah what avails the beauty nature wore,
Now Julia's absent ploasnie is no more.
The leaping tills my hapless Into bennum,
Titty murmer softly like in sorrow thrown;
The warhling muck bird’s mule no more she
sings
lint now sits silent, ne'er suspends Iter wings.
The little birds forget their turn ltd lays,
Away they fly and hide among he bays;
The putling brook, their murmers now forbear,
For Julia's absent pleasutu is not here;
(Jo, tell lh« trees, ah tell the woods all o'er
That Julia’s gone and pleasure Is no mots,
My fate is whispered in the gentle breeze
And told in sighs to the eurtoundiilg trees,
Once I could look with pleamro to l e skies.
Once I could sec things lovely 'round me tine,
Onca I could see rich flowers in the field,
Once lovely blossoms their native incense

•For Julia's gone ami pea sure is no more.
And now what more could cruel Isle impose
To taka her olTand thus augment my woes—
Oh—Julia return, to whom youi name im

1 .itwau CsMAliv.— We gave yesterday a |
sketch of an inlctesling debate in the House of
Commons on ti e3l at ol November, On the Ist
of December the all'uirs of Lower Canada were
again brought forwutd.
Mr. Leader wished to know from the noble
lor* (Rusaelljwhethcr,within the last six months,
there had been any increase of tbo troops in
Canada—if Laid liosfurd had applied for any
such increase, slid the causes of such nppl ration
on the part of his lutdship. Ho wished also to
a.k whether there had been any inc ease in the
amount of dcssrtinn in (lie British Hoops station
ed in Lower Canada; ami lastly he wished to
know when the noble lord meant to bring for
ward his conciliatory measures with respect to
Lower Canada!
Lord J. Russell said lie was afraid the replies
he had to make would not bo altogether satisfac
tory to the lion, member. With respect to the
first section—whether the troops had recently
Iwcn increased in Lower Canada; he believed
there had been some sent from New llrunswick
4o Lower Canada, Lord (iosloul having been au
thorised to withdraw them.
With respect to any application which had
been made for any increased force, bo must for
the present decline answering the i|uealion
which had been pul to him (bear, heat) ; and
with respect to the desertion of soldiers belong- ,
fug to her Majesty's troops in Loner Canada
he was nut aware that any accounts to that el- i
licet had reached this county, although ho knew,
that attempts had been made, a id pains hud been
taken, by seditious persons in the colony (loud 1
vrhesvtt front the opposition,!, in order to promote 1
desertion among Her Majesty's troops. With !
respect to the last question, as to the time when
any measures might bo brought forward on the
subject, he could not now state any positive de
termination. Ho could only state what the pie
sent opinion of the government was. but that ou
sinion was of course liable to lw vailed by the in
telligence which might bo received from Canada I
in the meanwhile. Hut, whatever they might i
think themselves bound m justice to do. Hci ;
Majesty's government felt deeply persuaded that 1
it was their duty to support m Canada the cause
«f those who were well aiTecled to the Crown
efthts country. (Land cheers.)

Nothing material occurred until Ist Dec. at half

ami Irish galea from East, the Schr. struck on
the Florida Reef, about 100 miles North ofCape
Florida. Every endeavor was made to get
her off, which proved fruitless. The boats
were then got out and the o.ltcers and crew
landed on the beach, about a quarter of a
Hide f rom the wreck, with a small quantity
of provisions and their clothes. Tfio crew
built a lent ol Tarpaulins, intending to wait a

Tne weather on the following morning was
more moderate, the crew succeeded in sav

They immediately after returning from tne
wreck re I Used to do duty, and proceeded
along the beach to the taunt iwurd.
At 10 A. M. mi Indian was seen approach

med.ately advanced to meet Inin, and spoke
to linn in tJpanisli, when he laid down Ins
arms and shook hands with both Captain

and he was given as much provisions os Jjtj

was out of sight, many exertions was made
| to leave the beach, expecting every mom cut
ito be shot down by them. The crew nut re
j turning, an Ulempt was made to launch the
j long boat through the surf, but. vas inoflectu

About 4 o’clock, 1' M they were very much
1 alarmed on being informed of the visiter, they
hid hold of the until and endeavored to force
her through tne surf, but she immediately
swamped. A proposition was then made
among them to walk to the southward, taking
with mem 4 pounds provisions, leaving Hie
captain, mate, cook, and one seaman beinnd.

Unit w'us breaking on me Reefs, it being
about ingiit, concluded to go back to the tent
and await their fate.
About midnig..t, ilia watch gave the alarm
that the Indiana were approaching. Tno l-ap
lam and Mule, Cook and Seamen, made oil" tor
the woods, on reaching which, they crawled on
i their hands and knees, and alter proceeding m
! this way some lime they stopped, listened, Jbut
they could heat nothing. In about ten minutes
I an Indian was seen coming towards them. They
then proceeded on until ’.hey came to a Iresit
water pond, with water about knee deep
with very hgh grass; they travelled about,
halt a mile in th.s place, w hen they concluded
to make for the beach, supposing they might
do so utipercoived by the Indians. On urn.
■ v.ng al the beach ami perceiving no one, they
I made the best of their way to the Southward
At y, A M. found one ot our men was hubs
mg, not knowing but he nad fallen into the
hands of the Indians and been killed.
They continued on until day-light, this be
ing Sunday—they went into the woods and
| procured water, and refreshed themselves.
| About 10 lell the woods, and saw their road
clear, and again commenced travelling with
speed. They then saw the track of a boot or
shoo in the sand—concluded it was the miss
ing man, and hurried i n to overtake him.
/?otwe ti 1 and 2 o’clock, they overtook
j him asleep, along side ot a log. They contin
ued travelling until 7 I’. M, when they score
ted themselves, (o obtain eorne rest and water.
I They rested until 3, A.M. wlicn they went
i into the Woods to rest—having had nothing
meal for 36 hours—iheir legs and feet very
much cut and torn, rendering their situation
truly deplorable.
Alter resting until neon, proceeded on,
when they saw the wreck of a schooner, and
some persons approaching—fearing they
were Indians in pursuit, look to the woods, I
and scattered themselves in some pahneltoes, j
Alter wailing some lime in dreadful suspense I
I ami supposing they had . iissod, rhey left the ]
I woods, and examined their tracks —found
' they were not those of Indians—judged them
| to be belonging to the lour men that bad left
the wreck. One of the crew stalled and
overlook them. In a short time they were ad
together, eight in number. They having some
bread left, wo got one biscuit a piece, which
gave great relief. They then all continued
their march south, subsisting principally on
rotton oranges and cocoa nuts, that drifted
ashore.
At two o’clock We again sought the bush
es to procure some rest, aa their legs and
feet was in such a dreadful condition, that
they could scarcely sleep. At day light
continued their march south, allowing them
selves half a huscuit a piece.
At 9 A. M. waded across a creek waist
deep—-at noon tell in with the wreck of a
three masted schooner, the Industry ot Mon
treat. They rested some time, and proceed
cd on, suffering all kinds of torment for want
ot provisions, and clothing snffic.'fcni to cover
themselves, being nearly naked. At 7 P. M. i
fell in with a deserted |, u t in which they]
look shelter lb' the night. At 6 A M. the i
following morning, commenced the it journey i
s'Uith, their feel and lin Is being very much
swollen, and subsisting on land ciabs, raw
fish, &c. At SP. M. tamo to a large ii let,
but being unable to cros-, from ibe depth ol
water, that night they ee| orated, and laid
among the sand lulls. On lie followup
morning they constructed a raft of legs. The
captain and (our men, that could not swim,
crossed over wi ll it—the male and men
swam over, one of them loosing all his cloth
ling, leaving lion entirely naked. At BA. M.
I they were all safely landed, when the remain
der of the bread, oue buscuit a p ccc, was
equally divided.
At It) o’clock, saw a sail to northward
standing south, a halt was made and signals
shown, in expectation that they might come
to their assistance, and these hopes were en
tertained until 3 o’clock, when she stood off,
paying no attention to their signal, tdhe wis
near enough at one time to see the men on
’ deck. 7’ney continued travelling to SP. M.
* w hen they look tho woods lor shelter, and at
3 A M they commenced their dismal jour,.oy
stinth. At 8 A M found an old canoe on the
beach* partly finished. It was then proposed
i to launch tier, the men declined, staling that
. I hey wt ro w orn nut and cOuld do no more.
, Part of them proceed on, leaving two behind,
who finding their comrades would not assist
was compelled to follow them. At 9 o’clock
they saw (Jape Florid» light lious •; with a
i renewed spirit they continued their march;
i nt loort they earn*} to a river—timing it
sould not bo crossed without a boat or raf,
and no materials on hand to build one of, it
was proposed to go back and get. the canoe;
when they had proceeded hilf way from the
river to the canoe, saw the same s homier—
it being near night the men refused to go
any further at that time. Captain M. using
his best endeavors with them to reach tho
canoe that night—remained during the whole
night exposed to ram and cold, part of tin in
emg nearly nake- and no shelter.
Ai daylight they commenced travelling in
the direction of the canoe, and 10 A. M
reached her. With considerable difficulty
she was launched, when they found she
would contain but three. They thou com
menced paddling her, the remainder waked
along the beach At noon tiny all arrived at
the river. With considerable difficulty, they
all crossed in safety, and continued South, the
mate anil one man remaining in the canoe,
and nroceedmgSouih. About 4 o’clock, they
came to another river in the vicnnly of the
Light House. The mate and one man volun
teered to cross the river, and visit the Light
House, ns fears were entertained that the In
dians might be in possession of it. The vol
unteers alter pro ceding cautiously, within
half a mile of the Light House, and seeing
no person or signs, ventured into the building,
it being completely deserted.
Finding no assistance, returned back to the
canoe, picking up along the beach a number
of rotten oranges, and proceeding back to
their shipmates whom they found in a distress
ed situation on the beach, being annoyed by
Mosquitoes in abundance, —they had killed ml
Oppossnm and Pelican, winch they commenc
e I eating raw.
Sunday, Dec. 10, it was resolved, that an
attempt must be made to reach the hghtbciat,
distance about GO miles. Three several at
tempts were then nude, which proved fruit
less, the men being completely worn out w ith
fatigue—thoy crossed from the Island to ibe
li tit bouse, as they were unable to remain, I
owing to swarms of mosquitoes. A fourth at
tempt was then made in ilic canoe to reach
the light boa', by the male and one Beaman,
when rhey succeeded in rescuing the wreck

On ihe following morning, Capt. 11. got tho

The following information was obtained
from the Wreckers:
On the 18th Due. two of the Wreckers hav

IRELAND.
Plan ran mu iiijust.mii.it of the Tithe ,
Question. —Mr. O’Ciinncll lias put forth a '
plan for the settlement of the vexatious qucs. ,
lion of tithes in Ireland. The form of publica
tion is as usual by letter addressed by the Pro
testant clergy. The plan proposed is briefly as |
follows;—Under the commutation r.ystom the
tithes of Ireland average about £600,000 per
I annum. The expense of the Irish constabulary
I force,for the most part rendered necessary by the
I disturbance and excitement consequent upon 1
church exactions, amounts to a similar »um — 5
£600,000,0f this,however,tinft haliis paid front the
consolidated fund, and the other by the Irish peo
ple. Mr. O'Connell proposes to deduct from the l
whole amount of tithes as commuted 30 per cent. (
I & to pay the remainder £-120,000 per annum from
the consolidated lurid—giving up the £300,000
at present paid to the police establishment, as an
equivalent in part, and supplying the balance !
£120,000 from the Irish woods and forests, and 1
if necessary from the temporalities of the church.
In this mode the church would receive £420,000
per annum, paid with as much regularity ns the
salaries in tiny of the government oflii js. And
the Irish people would bo relieved from an exac
tion most abhorrent to their consciences, from
all the inflictions entailed in attempting to con
linue its assessment, and have only to pay for the
preservation of the peace and order of their coun
-1 try—an expense which the removal of the great
! causa of discontent and discord would speedily
and considerably reduce,
Mtiuux’s Si St sit. —Signor Paclina Garcia,
the sister ol the lale lamented Malibra , is said to
j possess, 1 1 a considerable extent, powers and ac
complish.nents similar to those in which hor tab
cuted sister stood unrivalled. With her mother,
l Madame Garcia, wo believe, she is still resident
| in the house ol M. do Deriol, at Lacken, near
Brussels. When he reached Brussels, after the
death of his wife, Paulina was delighting a musi
cal pirly by her singing. To Iter thirteenth year
—she i.s now not more than fourteen—site had
the rare advantage of profiliing by all the instruc
tion that her affectionate and gifted sister could
impart ; audit is said that her quickness of coin*
prehension speedily enabled her to apply the les.
sons and directions of Vlalihran with such effect,
that, hut a short lirno betoro the untimely death
ol the latter, a person in another room could not
j have distinguished the lories of one sister’s voice
I from those of the other. Paulina, we are inform
ed, possesses a very line contralio voice; and it
j is not probable that in twelve or eighteen months
she may make her debut in this country. She
speaks French, German, lialian and English, and
is said, in other respects, to display a similarly
rare union ot ihoso accomplishments which gra
ced her ill-filed sister’s shmt and chequered life.

taken place there would be only temporary, in con
sequence ol the dull sales of collon goods. It is
aimed that tho stock on hand in Liverpool on tho
