And Beamy, too, when hope is gunc, Has lost the ray in which it shone ; And seen without this borrowed light, Has lost the beam, that made it bright.

BY .THOMAS HOOD. There was Squire Foxall, a martyr to thaf melancholy humor called Hypochon driasis, and who was cured by the Press. Mnny a serio-comic scene there was be 'ween the master and h:s man Roger, a co: fidential servant of the old school, hrcvd, irusty, and as blunt as a spade. Well, Roger,' the old man would say, after a very long and solemn shake of the head, I m going at last.' Glad on it to Swaft haraof course?' 4 No, Roger, no toanotlicr world.

He has got the last of your last wills. Your nevy wih come into the land, ana your niece is to have your personal bulk.' .No, Roger, that was the will before. I've made another since -but no matter. I've done with money and land. All I re quite now is a little furf. Well, there's a whole stack on it i' the rick yard, and then you've burnt o'that Never, Roger, never! Im burnt cut myself quite down in the socket, and shall go off like a snuff. I am ready, Roger, for the garner.' Yes, yes, and the corn for the sickle.and grass for the scythe, and a ripe plum for the basket, and a hot loaf for hopping a twig. I know all ihat by heart. ' I'm a dying man, Roger, and you know it. 1 haven't twelve hours to live no, not six before I pay the debt of nature- Dang the debi o'natur! I wish you had none to settle but hern. But it arn't due yet, it arn't.' 4 Due and over due, Roger. The re ceipt's made out, and before to-morrow morning you will have another master.' No I shan't ; I harn't had no warning.' But ' 1 have, Roger. Here, feel my pulse. It opened just now for two minutes and a half The circulation is at a stand still,the heart cannot perform its functions." All moonshine, master. .

There's Doctor I mi ay's Family Physicktr, you've guv your-eil over since you brought if home. And then there's Doctor Wins low' book, and Doctor Frankuu's 'as made you believe, between 'em that you'd got a urned head and pendu'um belly' Pendulous, Roger, pendulous. 4 Well, its all one.

'Yes, by iha County Chronicle, into which some wag introduced an announce. ment of his sudden demise, , afjer a compli cation ot disorders, borne for a long series with long unexarm-ied cheelulnes's and re signation. The efieci 011 the patient was miraculous ! instead of damping the spirits or shocking his nerves, it set up his lumba goed dack, roused his sluggish spleen, stimulated his torpid liver, stirred his le thargic lights, warmed his congestic biood, till it boiled a gallop, and turned hisllag ging heart to a cceur de lion. lie declared loudly that the paragraph originated in po liticly spite swore thai it was intended as a hint for his assassination, had vowed that he would horse-whip the editor of the dia bolical newspaper in h: own infernal office And he was a good as his word for which practical sincerity he had to pay one hundred pounds for damages, and as much more incosts. The cure, however, was complete. . His old affections vanished as if by, magic ; and rtovv his only complainin the 'world are of the impudence of the coun sel, the partiality of judges, ihe stupidity of juries, the, uncertainty of the law, the murderous propensity of the whigs, the ras cality of vernal edjiors, and the intolerable licentiousness of the press.'

The fact is, say s the Aurora, time and lashu ns make, strange inroad! on poor human nature. Here was Jacob seourmg the country to look for i wife, and on a fine sumiv day in the vallev of Pandanarum, he saw her at a distance, drawing water from a well, beinjj bare-, footed, and "without ceremony he ran to wards her,nnd in the language of this good b.qk ''kissed her nod lifted up h voice and wept."

An ester med .co-respondent informs us that Knl shman has recently obtained a charier tor a Rail Road through the Pa. pal States. This road 's intended 10 form only a party of a line of railway from France to India." This line was at one time abandoned through the obstinacy of the late Pope, who refused o permit any Ril Road o h constructed in his dominions. The pre seni Pontiff, however,is in favor of improve men's, and the charter was readily obtain ed. On the truth of this item of news we. hav. every reason to rely. Our correspondent received his information from a relative in London, connected in business with the gentleman who went to Rome for the pur pose of procuring the charter, and whose letter to him conveying the fact, arrived in London only one day previous to the sail ing of the Steamer." This will account for the absence of the information in the Eng lish papers. Suicide in Camden County, Ga.

" From the new-Orleans Picayune, 22d in$t. " .Later'froni Mexieo. Uy our correspondents at Pcnsacola, wo learn that the' steam frigate .Mississippi, Capt. Fnzhugh, arrived at that port on Wednesday, ihe.lOih mat. Slieleft the ' sqnadron off Vera Cruz, on the 13ih inst., and made the run to Pensacola in fourdays end a half. By this arrival, the news which we recently "received from Vera Cruz via Havana',. is fully confirmed. All of the iroops in the Castle, the city and the neighborhood of the ciiy, have declar ed for Santa Anna. An English steamer arrived at Vera Cruz before the Mississippi left from Havana, but Santa Anna was not on board, The steamer alluded to. we presume, was the regular English roailslea mer due at Vera Cruz ; but Santa Anna was not expected to go on her We give an extract of a letter below, from which it ap-.ears that the prevailing expectation in our r-quadron was that Sania Anna .would arrive on ihe English sseamer Hector. We saw no mention made of ilus vessel in the late Havana papers, nor did we hear thai Santa Anna proposed using anv other vessel thau the Montezuma. Another conjeciure of our correspondent wc think altogether probable, that Santa Anna will not attempt so land directly at Vera C.uz, but in soma of the smaller ports on the coast. , We are sorry to have to report another abortive atte n:pi on the part of our squa dron agamst some small Mexican vessels lying 0:1 the river Alvarado. The reports are a little discordai.t. One version of them is that the Mississippi and Princeton, with three of our small schooi.ers, wero despatenf-d n AUarado to attempt to cutout five or six SiiiaK Mexican vessels in that port. The schooner anchored qui:e close to a small Mexican battery on the shore, and a fire was opened on both sides, the steamers ihen lying out . of shot range. Subsequently they approached near en ough to bring their long guns to bear upon the enemy, aud speedily putthe.n to flight and silenced their guns. No damage whatever teas done to the steamers or schooners; but ihe affair had no other fa vorable issue, for it was not thought advis able to land in the small boats on recount of the heavy sea running and tht swaflow water on the bar On the 8ih the wholo squadron returned 10 their station off Vera Cruz. - 1 By this arrival we learn with pain of tho loss of. Midshipman Wingate Pilsbury, of the Mississippi. He was drowned on the 24rti ult., with one of a boat's crew, while in chase of a strange sail. The boat in a pqoall capsized, and all hands were com- peiled to save themselves by clinging to the sides of the boat. hile in this situa tion'. Midshipman Pilsbury. observing one of he hand nearly exhausted and about to let go, cheered him up anJ surrendered 10 him his own plaee. While looking out for another for himsel . a heavy sea struck hits, carrying him off from the boat, and he soon sunk to rise no more. Midshipman Pilsbury was from the State of Masoe.nnd had been nearly five years in the service. U- S. Steamer Mississippi, " Off Point AnUm Lizardo.Aog 19.1845.
