t'rvin the .Vue I vrk Mirn The Gingerbread Man. There is a man ihat walks (he streets <>l this prodigious town, And on his head lie w-eats a hat. And on Ms brow a frown A melancholy man is he, As I have heard it said ; And cons Inn Iv, na on lie walks. He munches gingerbread. He munches gingerbread, and runs As i( he saw a sight, Ob something tallowing at his heels, i’ital tilled him with hll iglit. Anon ho slops and gazes round On troops ol shouting hoys, In wonder, doubtless-, why they keep So tcrrilo a noise ! In omnibus he never rides, In cook-shops never strays,— He has his own peculiar hat, His own peculiar ways : And when ho sees a baker’s shop, He madly rushes in, ’ And buys a slice of gingerbread, Nor small, not scant, nor thin— Hut large and thick, two feet square, Which, grasping in his hand, Again ho darts into lire street, And there he -takes Ins a'nnd. Voraciously hr swallows down The gingerbread -in lumps, Fill with a sudden spring he dues diegin to stir his stumps. With rapid motion on lie goes, Hut ever and anon Hr stops to bite his darling food, Till nil of it is gone. And then a sorrow shrouds Ins face, A tear bedims Iris eye, And ho is said, till it is time More gingerbread to buy. It is hia si/ie delight—hisjoy—■ That cake so rich and rare; No loveliness of female face <3an with its sweets compare. And till the world is baked to crust, And all the people dead, ts he should live, that lonely man Would munch his gingerbread, Pktiii. t from the Cambridge Chronicle.] Mr. Stewart’s Statement. At (ho request of the editors of the Chronicle and Aurora, I have prepared the following stale merit of some of the particulars connecter! with rthe recent disaster, which befoll the rll fated Pu laski. On the-Uh Juno, in company with Dr. Edwin Stewart, my brother, his wife, Mrs. Char lotte Stewart, child and servant, my relative, Sami. H. Hodson, tho Kev. Mr. Woart and J,ady, Dr. Ash and F. McCroa, I left Tallahassee, Florida, -upon a visit to Cambridge, Dorchester county, Maryland. On the 11 th, wo reached Savannah, and on the 14th, wo look passage in the steam packet Pulaski, Captain Dubois, hound for Haiti more—at f> o’clock, P. M. we arrived at Charles ton. The boat between Savannah and Charles ton performed her trip well. There was conside rable sea, which occasioned her to roll, notwith standing shetinoved ftlong, very handsomely in deed. On the Huh,at 6A. M., with a fair pros, pact of a pleasant passage, wo left Charleston. Judging from (he sizo of the boat, and the crow dod state of the passengers, I think there were upwards of 200 passengers cn hoard. Every thing seemed to pass off well, during the day— the weather was pleasant, a good breeze stirring, and tho passengers wore lively and guy, with the exception of those that wore sen sick. In the af ternoon there was some appearance of a squall, which gradually wore away, and about 5 o’clock, I remarked to Captain Dubois, that the weather looked much heitor to windward than it had done—he replied that there was an indication of good weather I also observed to him, that the Pulaski seemed to he an excellent uca vessel—he expressed himself highly pleased with her. Se veral times in the course of (lie day, I was in the engine room, looking at the gunge, and about H o'clock at night, 1 recollect for the last time, ex amining it, and found it varied from 28 to III). About 9 o'clock, the party with which I was im mediately connected, consoling of iny brother, Dr.S c-v.irt and wife, and Mr. Hudson, retiiod to bed. Dr. Stewart was in feeble health when wo left Tallahassee, and Mr. Hod.on suffered from | sea (richness. In a short lime alter tb« ; ; 0 wont to 1 bed, 1 took my berth; it was probably about half past 0 o clock in consequence of a light just in front of me, I did not got to sleep. This light was used by Judge Cameton, who was lying on a sellco reading. As well as I can judge, about half after 10 o’clock, tho Judge laid aside his book, took off his spectacles, and placed them under his head, and closed his eyes. 1 then pre pared to go to sleep, hut in a few seconds, I heard a tremendous noise, which 1 at once supposed to bo an explosion ol the boiler, and jumped from ray berth, which was far aft. 1 did not take lime to put on my clothes, and had (rolling on at the time but my sleeping garments. Tho shock which the boat sustained, or the pas.-age of ntr, extinguished two candles, which had been burn ing in the cabin.— I lelt no hot vapour, Togcth er with many others, in honihle confusion, I made (or tho deck, grouping nay way in utter d irkness. When 1 reached the dock there was a general cry amongst tho passengers lor the Cap tain. There was a report also that the vcsm-1 was on lire, and water in buckets was passed to put it out, lull Iro ir the ibin r;i done the side ot the boat, and the sw i ll ot the s, a, (b, w it, i pour «'d in so fast, that the lire Was soon extinguished. There was also n minor spread that we had l-ei n run into by another .-.team boat, which » mid I,ike us off. Our boat was much canted on one side, and rolled tremendously, \ gentleman a'amt this lime, whose l.n-e seemed much stunfe.l, who I took for the captain, lint have s'nee learned vvwi* Mr. Geo. N Davis, ol (Thai lesion, requested tjie passengers to pass tho baggage at , to get it on one side, and also to get on the same side them selves, with a view of lighting the boat. I also recognized lit. Ash of Philadelphia, and Mr. F. McCrea of Tallahassee. Mr. Mot'iea remarked that tho boiler had hurst —that the boat was sin king, and we should all probably he lost—hesitg. gened that we had he ter tig up a raft of such i things as we could, and possibly wo might stir v ivc on that. -Soon after tins, Dr. Stewart came up to me, a«d asked dvlmt was the matter. The Dt. had dressed himself—l told him the boiler had burst, and that there was much water in the after j cabin, lie requested me to obtain a lamp, which i w*» Imaging on dock near the ladies' cabin, and j aoc the extent ot tho water in tho cabin. ) tound | upon getting a light, that tho water was up to | the staircase in the cabin. There was awful con fa lion indeed now—hatbands searching lot their wivea, and wives crying tor their husbands, and Ibe most gloomy uncertainty as to the Vale of all. 1 I then made lor the promenade deck, which I reached. Soon after, I perceived my friend Mr. Hudson come up—he was dressed. 1 hoard tho voice of Mrs. Charlotte Stewart, and Mr. Hudson and my self, together wrth Dr. JStowarl. who was below, assisted her to get upon the promenade deck— her child, about two years old, was then passed up—the Doctor himself came up". We then got Mrs. Stewart in a boat w hich was on the promo nade deck, together with her child. Thta was a boat which 1 had scon on (his deck during the day, with a tarpaulin over it. It had been placed upon its keel when Mrs. Stewart got into it, and ysts filled with ladies, expecting to be gradually Rested off when the steamboat sunk. There fwcii’ also mail) other ladies on (lie deck Dr. Stewart stood by his wile, near (he hint. 1 went further aft, when I saw two men at the wheel ! Irving lo get the steamboat hefoie the wind, make • sail and roach the land—she would not answer I her lu hn. After the"X plosion the boat still rno . vnl or, from the previous force given her, I saw i a small ho it with ■ lone (' Isons on it, It i.m uornc what as ern of us this f suppose was one of the boats that got ashore. Tiio steam packet was j last sinking-—thu water pourit /in over the ! guards. About this time,l assisted s ime lady, | f'od knows who, to get on the upper deck, who begged me to gel her husband up, and said ho i was an old gray headed man —1 did not see him j —I also In ard u lady crying in a loud voice for I her husband, pronouncing his name repeatedly, “Mr. hull.” A genii em in, that I supposed was I Mr. Ball, sprang (rum the foie part ol the boat into the water, and made for his wife, but must have sunk befotc he reached the after put. Stv ernl persons wildly jumped over hoard, and tried to reach settees, &c. and sinking called for some thing to he thrown them. The weight of lire machinery, I suppose caused the boat to sink fas ter in the centre, which threw up the stern. She then parted, and the small boat, containing Mrs. 1 Stewart and other ladies, was thrown head fore | most in the eddy, where they were all drowned, 1 ( suppose. I The stern pait of the boat, upon which 1 was, ! turned a complete somerset, and when it was , about perpendicular, Mr. Hudson and myself whe j were then holding on hand to hand, by the David ( tapes, let go. I saw him no more. Many oth -1 cis were thrown olf at the same time. I was sunk i mi die water some time, and was grasped by per ; ‘•out, I supposed to he ladies from their clothes j and was kept down, probably lip fool. After they I let me go, J came up, amidst a crowd of persona 1 f thought, il l remained here, 1 should, inevitably | be borne down, 1 therefore swam oil, as well as I i 'could. It was light enough lor me to see persons ! I saw the larger parts of the wreck, which seem ed to be distant shout 100 yards. There was vast quantities of fragments floating around me, and fortunately J got upon a piece, a hatch, and picked up a small plank, 1 paddled off from the body of the wreck, thinking the heavy swell, would dash mo to pieces, if I earnest) contact with It. In about an hour, -I saw a |>eraon on a frag, Tncnf It was Mr. Murrit, of Mobile, he inform* cd me. We concluded to get our jmpcch together —meeting with a larger and longer fragment just ahead, we reached it, and got our pieces on it. Mr. Men'll had been on a hatch. A rope happened to Ire fastened to one of the rings of one piece of the hatch. M'r. Mcrrit cut lire same with a knrfb ho hud with him—we unrove it and fas-, tened mrr pieces pretty firmly on it. Wo also found an oar, which was afterwards of essential service to ns. About 3 o’clock, there was a se vere squall which lasted but a lew minutes. At day light, wo saw some 14 or 15 rafts, pretty much in a line—some before, others behind, and some of them 3 miles distant. The wind was about Hast, and setting u*, I thought in the diroc lion of land. Horne of tlie rafts J saw > had per sons on hoard. I rceollect there was a raft passed near me, which seemed to be made up of lumber, (•lank and a vast quantity of wood with a solitary being upon it—a negro man, who had got up s small sail. We had picked up a stool which floated near, upon which Mr. Merrit and myself alternately look our tricks at Blearing, We had taken off the canvass, from the hatches, and got up a sort of mast—from the canvass wc made a sail, amt our object was to keep out craft licforc the wind, to prevent her turning over. She went before the wind very well. Wo were fre quently immersed in the water and kept constant j ly wef, without food or fresh drink. I had no stockings or hat on, and suffered im - mensely from the rays of a scorching sun during the day, and at night I was chilled almost to death. Mr. Morrill happened lobe somewhat better clad; he had on Ids pantaloons and saved his watch— when he looked at her ho found she had stopped about a quarter past 13, which induced us to think he was thrown in the wn'er from tho steam packet about that time. Ou I'M lay evening we thought we saw a Light- house, hut it pioved lo be a vessel. Tho sharks threatened to devour us, as they wore all around us on Friday and Sat urday, and would greedily seize hold of chips on j rubbish that fell from our craft. I was featlu i they would break our oar, when we should have got in the trough of the sea and turned over. On j Saturday evening I thought I saw laud; Mr. j Merritt thought I was mistaken, ns in the evening there seemed a sort of fog, thql e,i lt |ho taken fur the shore. Shorty afterwards°we t wcro convinced nc saw land, probably dis hint about leu miles. This was a joyful sight. Mr. Merritt sprang up, crying, thank God, it is land, and said lo me, ho had $lOO with him, which he had fortunately pul in Ids pocket, the day before tho disaster occuncd; this ho kindly said ho would divide with me, should wo evor leach tho shore. At day light, Sunday morning, , we wore quite near tho laud, not going directly tor it, but running along shore, and gradually approximating it; about ti it o’clock, wo were thrown in tho breakers. Mr. Morrill was first thrown off, and ill or a while reached tho shore before 1 did. About the third breaker my frail hark was precipitated over my head, and u was fortunate n did not strike me—it kept somewhat ahead of ore. After a short time I touched bot tom ni about three feet water, and lapitlly made fur the beach which 1 reached—l was su com pie ely exhausted I could scarcely crawl up the j bench, upon which 1 lay in a state ol insensibility | until about 1 I o'clock next day, when a hcticvo j lent man. Mr. Spicer, who irAdcs near New | Jtivoi Inlet, where we were thrown ashore, came i across mo. He inquired it I had any companions. 1 told him ol Air Mcinlt. Aftct putting ,i plank to keep the sun from my face, lie went to look loc .M i. Men at, and came hack mid told me he could not rind him. Mr. Merrit , 1 learnt uf;cr v\auU, got :o abut, where ho felt in an exhaust cd s ate, liiiUin* it deserted, some found him thcic, Riid-'i,r%eqUii,u up. lie diicclcd them lo 1 -A lor rue, whimkihey did, hut it being Lie in the evening theyS|l not find me. The shore whcie wo a low beach, with -some scud) pines upon it, afro there was a sound be j tween that and the mam land. Mr. Spicer, for whom I shall always (ell tin- ' tier ten thousand obligations, took me across I I the sound to his own house, where I remained i i with every attention paid to me by Mr. s. and j himilv, until 1 httrsilay. The sun and salt wa , ter had completely tktuiwd me, und cream was | applied. On Thursday 1 reached Wilmington j where Win. N. Peder, Esq. kindly look me to his own house and rendered every assistance. Matthew Tilghnian Goldsborough, Esq. of j Talbot, who was in Wilmington at the time, j and had known my brother, Dr. Stewart, vol ! untcered a loan lo me, for which t am under j great obligations to him. The citizens of Wil- I mington, and all along as 1 came, were, how -1 ever, so kind, that I had but little occasion for i money. On Wednesday following 1 left the ( hospitable mansion of Mr. Peder, and by the I wiiy of Halifax, liichmond, Washington and Haiutnore, reached Cambridge, E. S. Md., Dr Stewart’s servant girl came with me. After the wreck, she states site was with six others on a raft ; Dr. Stewart, she says, was with her tin the wreck, until Monday, when he died from exhaustion. His servant kept his head I above water for two days, after the Doctor was so enfeebled as to be unable to hold on. He old the servant that he saw his wife go down, after the dreadful disaster, several limes, and 1 could be of uo service to her. The next dav, I riday, the doctor and his servant saw many dead bodies floating near, and among the rest his little child, two years old—what a specta cle .' The doctor before his death became delirious; when he expired, his lifeless body, j was silently swept away by tin- sea. Several] ; persons, the girl states, in fits ofdclirium jump- . eel from the raft. Os :-.1l the party that left Tallahassee, it seems myself and lire doctors j servant are the sole survivors. Poor Hudson that could not sa ini, 1 saw no more after we were thrown together in the water, upon the ! turnlngover oft lie wreck, as before described. The exposure that I had to encounter, togeth er with the horror of soul at (lie terrific scene 1 passed through, (which now, 1 cun scarcely , realize, as it seems liice an an awful dream) t occasioned me infinite suffering, hut in my ill ness, I was by the hand of an all wise Provi dence thrown among.t the kindest people I • ever saw ; i shall recollect them as lung as pul sation vibrates through my heart. i WILLIAM A.

The two nu n taken were asleep. There was found in tl e house, belonging to John Furrow, on Grindstone iMdixi' a quantity of arms—pistols, rifles and muskets.

The inside of the boat is red. She j has one set of sweeps, and one set of short j oars, so as to row either single or double handed. This boat is so light that two men i can carry her witlneose, and she is capable ot transporting twenty men with arms. She had on beard when taken, besides some arms, an American flag, which no doubt, was intended to be used when passing the British vessels, as a deception.

Shares manifested a slight improvement to-day. The whole number of shares which changed hands were 4852—a heavy day’s Iransacjons.— The general feeling was in favor of a rise, home, however, thought that it would not be realised. The foreign and domestic influences on our stock market, it seems, are not yet at an end. In the destruction of the system of credit, capital sought new channels, from which it is difficult to return, now that a restoration of the old policy is proba ble. The question of resumption of cash pay menls must ho settled in all the stales, before the disturbing causes from without will cease to op erate. At home, the plan of loaning money upon the hypothecation of stocks must he put an end to by a more profitable investment of money in the direct channels of trade, before prices will ho come steady. So that-, at present, our share market is little less that! a roulette table, whither the capital resorts, for wont of a better resource. The actual capital of the country can never he confined to tiro stock market, if all the avenues of trade were open. Stocks will necessarily employ n large portion of floating wealth, hut ih the ordinary working of the credit system, they are generally absorbed by the means of those who wish to invest for permanent security. Until, therefore, a full return to this system is had, we may not look for steady prices on the stuck exchange, The Philadelphia Shipping List asserts un qualifiedly that the banks of that city have de termined to resume on the Ist of August, not. withstanding all that has appeared to the contrary in the newspapers. Several days since, we had advices to the same effect. But as we said then, wo say now, wc quietly wait for the official notification of lire act by the banks themselves. The unequivocal course of Governor Rimer assures us that tho annunciation of this intention will soon be forthcoming. The movement of tho Philadelphia banks will now settle very rapidly the question of resumption, generally considered. No solvent hank in the United States can remain suspended any length of lime alter the full re. sumption by the institutions of our sister city.— 1 h<j influence o( her example, and the power Iter hanks wield in the south, west, and south west, will not admit of tiny shuffling and shifting among the institutions ol those sections. Doubtless they aro prepared to meet the emergency. Before January next, vve confidently expect to see no irredeemable paper in the Union, except that issued by the general government. Mr. Poinsett has begun to issue Treasury Circulars. There is one under date of J uly Jl— Regulation—l. No officer, whose duty it may bo to examine the accounts of the distmjs ing officer ol that branch of the service under his immediate supervision, shall Jioid or disburse funds. 2. Whenever it is practicable, all disburse ments shall ho made oy checks on a hank or a person, ns tho case may be, and notin money. 3. A monthly statement shall he made and transmitted to the Department try each disbursing officer, of tho moneys received, paid and remain ing in ids hands. This regulation will supersede the one on this subject issued a lew mouths since. J. R. Poinsett. ‘ \V ar Department, July 11, 1838. Wlrat next!

Nelson, Esq., Collector of this port, £5OO in specie, a Treasury Note for $lOO, and the above draft of the Government for $1,424,50. The draft was promptly refused by the Collector, who slated that he had no authority to take such claims against the Government in discharge of claims due to it. Wc will, therefore, give the market value for tho specie or Treasury note,. How long will a people, who once called them selves free and independent, submit to such ty ranny! July I‘-J, J B3B.
