To live, and feel that life is drear,
Devoid ofjoys the heart can blees—-
To breathe the sigh and shed the tear,
That makesno other’sjoy the less-
To hear each day, the cruel scorn
Ofthose who always should bekin-d——
To feel our lot is l)€4l—t‘(l——fl‘»l‘l0l‘tt, ,
\Vill chill the hart and blast the mi~ndl_
Yet, this glad eartlt is full ofthose,
\\ ho mingle gaily with the tltrong,
And live in sadness till life’s close;
But none may know their bosom’s wrong
The ringing laugh, the sparkling eye.
Tis ..aitl, are from the home of thought,»
But ah, too oft they check the sigh,
“Which tells life’sjoys_are dearly bought.
And in the stul is hidden gri'ef
Thatgushcs forth at slightest touch,
And on the heart’s broad memory leaf,
Are written thoughts, that cherish such.
This is the life the wretched live,
And these the woes the wretched f-. el,
\Vhcn hope’s last glirrfring ray can give
No light the broken heart to heal.

There is but little of interest in the for-
eign news,beyond the tidings from Algeira.
That brave and unsubdued chief. Abd-el-
Kader, has achieved another triumph over
his French invaders. Ile surprised and
captured another 9.00 of them.
The Puseyite rupture with the Anglican
church has taken an importantturn. Mr.
Newman and a batch of his friends have
at length formally scceded, and joined the
church of Rome. The event has not ex-
cited much surprise, for it has long been
expected. ‘
The very wet unfavorable wcatber ex-
perienced during the week, has done so
much injury to that portion of the crops
still abroad in the northern counties, so as
to render itnext to ‘impossible for the grain
to be secured in any other way than the
worst condition, however auspicious the
weather may hereafter become.
Ireland appears to have been visited
with similar weather to that experienced
on this side of the channel; and a good
deal of injury is said to have been done in
the latter districts.
VVe have now advanced to near the
middle of the third month of our harvest
in England, and there is still a good deal
of grain in the fields unsecured, and an un-
usual quantity for the season uncut, north
of the Humber.
The failure of the potatoe crop in Ire-
land is a tnost distressing event. The ac-
counts connected with this subject, from
all parts of that country, are painful in the
extreme.
The American provision trade flourishes
The stock of Beef, Pork, and Cheese, is
light; and the state of things in Ireland
will have a tendency not only to improve
prices, but to lessen competition.
The Cotton market is dept'essg_gl, the
business transacted is litnited, prices have
a downward tendency.
In the share market the work of specu-
lation goes bravely on. The world has
never witnessed any thing so recklessand
btrefaced as the system of swindling and
roguery. on the one hand, and the imbe-
cile gullibillity on the other, that stares
one in the face at every turn.
Belgium.—\Vhen the malady of pota-
toes became known orders for large quan-
tities were sent to the United States.——
Some have already arrrived, but they are '
so had, from the effects of the sea voyage,
that the orders have been countermanded.
Rus.s*z'a.——'l‘lte Emperor is much annoy-
ed at the late afl’-c.ir in Caucasus; so much
the more as it was he himself who schem-

to the Russian army has been much more
serious than represantcd.
At the City meeting, on Saturday, a
proposition to sell the new railroad stock
owned by the city, was we believe, intro-
duced. The par value of this stock, (at
which it could now perhaps be sold,) is
$7500. It may become even more valua-
ble. Looking at the futttre good of the
city, the policy of such a sale, for the
purpose of paying‘ the) 'i72:'e:cst merely of
our debt, is very qucstioitalile. It is true,
however, that we may have just -paid a
heavy tax, and that “:tn.othor turn of the

PERRY SMI'l‘H.
We published some wee s ago from the
pen of,a_ correspondent at New Milford,
an account of a street fight between Perry
Srnith, late Loco Foco Senator from this
State in the Congrress of theUnited States,
and one of his own townsmen. Mr.
Smith came out under his own hand, in the
Democrat of this city, with a statement, in
which he denies the truth of our corres-
dent’s charges.
Such language as the /tonorable Senator
is charged with using, is a disgrace to man-
hood,artd it is with extreme,reluctance and
only defensive ofthe truth that we permit
its repetition to soil our columns. It is the
last that ought everto bcheard ofPcrry
Smith, at least, until he becomes a better
man.-——.]\’'. H. Palt’arlz'um.
T/zeM'urde7‘er Poltcr.—-Since the convic-
tion of this young man for murder, he has
been kept constantly in his cell. For a
day or two after his sentence he seemed a
little depressed in his spirits; but be soon
recovered his wonted tone offeeling,which
is that of apparent indifference to his fate.
Before his trial and during its progress,
he was rather confident of an acquittal,
confident belief, that his punishment will
be commuted by the legislature to impris-
onmcnt for life in the State Prison. It is
true that his punishment may be commuted,
but few believe it will be, and the proba-
bility is that he will not get a dozen votes
in the House of Representatives in favor
ofhis petition, if he makes one. His coun-
sel, fill‘. Chapman, made one of the most
able and eloquent pleas, in his behalf, that
it was possible for any man to make; but
the evidence was so overwhelmning that
the argument was almost needless, and
probably did not for an instant cause a
doubt to exist in the minds of the Jury in
regard. to- the guilt ofthe prisoner.-—PaZl.
A C/reap Brca/r asl.——A son of Erin at
Schenectady heard the breakfast bell ring
on board of a canal boat just starting out
for Buffalo. The fragrance of the viands
induced him to go on board.
“Sure, Captain dear,’ said he, ‘an what’ll
ye ax a poor man for thraveling on yer il-
legant swan ov a boat 1’
‘Only a cent and a half a mile and
found,’ replied the Captain.
‘An its the vittles ye mean. to find,sure '!’
‘Yes, and if you’re going al‘ong,. go-
down to breakfast.’
Pat did not want to be told‘ a second?

and tnade a hearty meal,'be came again on

‘How far have we come just now '1.’ ask-

‘Only a little over a mile.’ _
Pat thereupon handed the captain two
cents, and coolly told him that he believed
he would not go any farther with him, as
Juddy would”wa.it for her breakfast, not
knowing that he had breakfasted out.

SUMMARY
A new potatoe digger was recently ex-
hibited in operation at Salem, VVest Jer-
sey. It threw out upon the ground, with
two horses, at the rate of fiveor six acres
per day, and as fast as thirty hands could
pick up and carry them away. The soil
produced 400 bushels of potatoes per acre
by the use ofcompost muck.
Federalism.-——“A man who works stead-
ily, lives pruddntly, sleeps contendedly,
envies no man, readsgwhat is going on reg-
ularly, sends his children to schools week
days and takes them to church Sundays,
never wishing for office, and always voting
just as he thinks best for his cottntijy, is
pretty certain to be branded a Federalist."
Late foreign papers say that Mt. I-Iecla,
after a repose of 80 years, threatens to be
troublesome. On the 1st of September
last, the mountain burst in two places, with
a terrible crash, vomiting fire and masses,
of burning lava. The water of the neigh-
boring rivers was so hot: as to kill the fish.
One of the first. comtnercial houses of
Utrecht, it is said, is at the head of a com.-
mittee fortned for the purpose ofbuying up
potatoes and other alimentary substances
in foreign lands, and retailing them to the
poor of their own country without profit.
