And sweeps from our distracted breast
The friends that lov’d, the frieiids that blessed ;
And leaves us weeping on the shore,
To which they can return no more.

A GREAT BATTLE OFF THE I-IAVANA‘.
Far above the purupets of the Mo ro C.is
tle, like a pyrarnid oi clouds, loi\ei‘t.-d the
white swelling sails ofa man of war of the
largest. class. From li(‘l' pt_'8I{ sireairicd
forth in ample folds, ii well known flag,
upon whose azure Ilcltll Sp2ll'lilt'-(I the the stars
of a Coiis'.ellution, inert-using every day in
lustre. The dark hull of this gigantic wor-
rioi‘ passed out of the buy, and inzijesticully
bowed to the swell \\l)l':ll now heaved in
from the broad oceiri against her bright
cleaving bow, which SCullL'l't:‘CIi1SlLIe the op-

spray.
Every thing about this inagnificent craft
was trimmed \\'l'.ll nautical precision. I-Ier
bright sides bristlul with a triple?‘ array of
heavy 'r]I'I.Illt,’fy. As if by magic, the lower,
and lighter sails aloft, were lurled to the
yards——-and like a gladiator stripped for the
light, this grim w-.irrior was prepared to
battle with her country's foes or ocean’s
storms.
Upon the quarter deck of that ship stood
the veteran Oominandci‘, calm and collected.
For a nioiiient be cast a hasty glance aloft,
llivn gave a brit-f,stei‘ii command to an officer
near him, and again was calm and absorbed
in meditation.

Yes, sir, bull down, but coming on with a

those two ocean cavaliers, at the distance ofl
some hundred fathoms apairt, as if in knightly
courtsy, gracefully saluted as they rose and
fell upon the waves." A boat dropped from
the quarter ofeacli vessel at the same monien_t.
For an instant the glittering oars were held
aloft; at the words ‘let fall,’ ‘give way I’ they
both sprung from the respective ships, with
a speed that quickly brought tbeni togt-t_li.er.
‘What ship is that, sir? said the British
officer, slightly touching his hat. _

And her Commander ?
Admiral Sir George Brooke.
Anrl permit uie to ask, continued the
American Lieutenant, where are you bound
and for whatpurpose ?
In a clear, firm voice, the prompt reply
was, to the [lav-aria, to lithe posesslon of the
Island of Cuba.
Iain directed by the orders of Commodore
Stewart, to repeat to yoti, for the information
of the Arlinirul, that such a. movement cannot
be permitted.
Nothing else, sir?
Nothing.
The two oflicers civilly bowed to each
other, seated themselves in the stern sheets
of theirrespective boats, and whirled off to
the ships. Upon the quarter deck of the
Pennsylvania, the old Commander was
quietly seated upon a gun; as the officer
advanced, he drily inquired if he had obeyed
orders.
Yes, sir. -
Then beat to quarters-—ancl the lively
tones of the fife and drum were quickly
beard sounding that inspiring call. A thou-
sand active, liardy looking fellows, in a
moment stooclto their tackle and stations.-
The ship was ready for action. _

For a moment the Admiral gazed at the

said-—

Commodore, advancing close to him, but

Squadioii were within cannon shot, beziring
down under a crowd of canvass.
What ships are those sir? Said the Ad-
niit'al,-addressing one of the officers of the
Pennsjltvaiiia, and whose face was glowing
with delight at the prospect of a row which
he had not tasted since I814.
Those ship sir?
Yes, sir, those to windward.

tution, Macedonia, United States, Java, Bran-,

Admiral then turned round to the Aineiican
Coiiiuiodore, raising his hat above his head,
he said Commodore Stewart, fa rewt-ll !
Fai‘ctvell sir, was the reply and the
Admiral departed, every military honor
being paid to him that was due his rank.
A cutter came alongside, in which I
sprung, freightedtviih despitches, and orders
to hasten with all possible speed for a south-
ern port in the United States. As we passed
the British transports, we observed that they
were crowded with troops. We passed
through the American line; everything was
prepared for battle-the crews were at their
stations. The question involuntarily oc-
curred, how many of these gallant fellows,
whose hearts tbrob with enthusiasm, will be
laid low ere sunset?
VVe‘could observe; the Pennsylvania still‘
have ‘.0--occasionally a bright musket or
cutlass gleamed in the sun-—and a flag now
fluttered from the pinnacle of each of her
towering masts. The squadron was ad-
vancing in line of battle; wbilethe Prince-
ton angl Mississippi were hovering like
hawks, upon the flanks._ The British fleet
had fi_.lled away for the harbor, which lay
directly on a line with the American flag
ship. ,‘Wliilst gazing from the stern of our
receding bark, with interest upon the mante-
vres of the two fleets, a cloud of smoke
rolled from the side oftlie Bellerophon, and

upon your reputition, for the tvorltl do not
yield. If you once break over the barriers
of honesty, your dovvntvard course will be
ccituin and rapid. 'I‘he'first deviation from
truth paves the way for future ruin. For
all the gold in Christeritlotn, do no S\vt;‘l'\'t‘

with SC'dI'Ct‘l_V an exception, that their min
was coii'iincuce.l by being too greedy of gain.

property was coinparutively easy. A little
deception-—u fetv Lllill'Ul.I’lS—antI their ob-

flecting that iftlaey failed it would be their
utter ruin, they yielded to the teinptation.—-
Success, it may te, crowned their t:f‘Iot‘ts at
first, which only made them more anxious
to persevere in the wrong path, till at last
they ventured far, beyond \\'Ilul. they had
ever anticipated, and were lost—lost to tlieiii-
selves, llivll‘ families and also to the world.
Young rnari beware how you forgctyoiir duty
and lightly esteem your reputation. Let noth-
ing deprive you ofthose conscientious scru-
pies that now prompt you to a course of in-
integrity and virtue. Let it be your aim,not
so riiuch to acquire property as to secure a
good Illtme---tl notle reputation-—so that all
men can confide in you and trust you.—

On The True Signs of Death --Dr. Des‘
camps of Milan has presented to the French
AL‘a(It‘Illy of Mt-dicine, a memoir on the real
signs of death. He draws the following
conclusions, intended to guide public author-
ities in the precautions that should be taken
against the danger of interring, prernaturely
persons not really dead.
I. A gl't'€flI:l1 blue color extruding uni-
forinly over the skin oftlie belly, is the real
and certain sign of death.
2. The period at which this sign appears,
varies much; Lui it takes place in about
three days, under favor-.ible circumstances of
warinth and moisture.
3. Though discoloration ofvarious kinds.
and from various causes, may occur in other
parts, the cliaracteiistic mark of death is to
be found only in the belly.
4. Apparint death can no longer be con-
founded with l't‘al death, the belly never bi-
lug Colored gl't.‘t:'l1 or blue in any case of the
former. '
5. This coloring of the belly, which may
be artificially husu-ried, entirely prevents the
danger ofpremature interment.
6. There is no danger to public health
from the keeping of a body until the apper-
ance of the characteristic sign of death.
C'or7'cs[/orzrlcrtcr. Q/‘(he Jour. of Com.
BRIDGt~Zl’0R'I, C1‘. Nov. 22, I843.
The two last days of last week were rife
with SCt'fIt’S of exciting interest in this city.
On Friday afti-mo:-n a sherifffrotii Stamford
ent:-rod the ware house of Niles, 'I'ho.'p &
Co. one of our tvliolseszile grocers, and dc-
inanded the amount of an execution which
he held upon the city. This being refused,
he proceeded to ltvy upon the goods and
took enough to satisfy his deina..d. He now
found that he could get no carrnan to remove
the goods, he yielded to the pt-rsuasioris of
the interested parties, took I)(llCIS for their
ilPPt’3I'-IIICI’, and allowed their goods to re-
niain in store. A considi-table and highly
exasperated croud followed him to the store
of D Sterling & Co. where he durst not
levy, because one of the parties was a resi-
dent of New York. Going next to the
ware house of Josiah I-Iubbell, Esq. he did
not levy, because he could not discover the
ownership of the property, and no citizen
was disposed to give him the infortnation.—
With these visits Friday closed. Saturday
an execution remained in the hands of the
Sheriff, belonging. it. is understood, to Morris
Ketcbum, Esq. of New York. It was di-
rected that this (‘XtCUll0l’l be levied upon the
store of B. B. Beardsley, Esq. Mr. Beard-
sley, learning that this store was next to be
visited, closed it about noon, and with his
clerks attended the city meeting, which was
of great interest, and the proceedings of
which were of much importance to the
senior Mr. Beardsley. At an exciting stage
the proceedings, an alarm was sounded that
Mr. Beardsley's store was broken open.-
Rushing to the spot with the crowd, I saw
the demolished door,—the sheriff with a
sledge. hammer in his hand, and the angry
crowd restrained by the conservative influ-
ence of the laws. I believe it would have
been impossible for this act of violence to
have taken place, had not the whole town
been occupied in the city meeting.
