Deepin the blue of heaven serene A wond'rous shining shape i-s s-'d Beyond each well known star. Fain would we ask from whence it came, With this long track of lurid Hone That follows it so far. Strange thoughts within my soul arise, .Mysterious traveller of the skies, While on thy form 1 gaze! 1 marvel not, in days of old, That priests and sages have foretold Dread omens from thy blae. faast thou no voice? canst thou not tell In what bright sphere 'twas thine to dwell Before thou wanderedst here? Or hast thou just from chaos sprung In radiant beauty, fresh rind young, To run thy circling year? Art thou a world, like this of our$, With silver streams and shady bowers, And azure tinted sky? rlast thou fair forms that live and love Amid thy happy homes above? Alas! and (ian they die? Or art thou, as some minds delight In dark and gloomy strains to write, A huge misshapen-form, Which soon shall from its orbit flash, And all our earth to ruins dash, In whirlwind, fire, and storm? But hark! thosn angel-breathing notes! A voice from that fair region floats Thes'ars in chorus sing t40h! fear not Him, whose name is Love, "Who silteth on His throne above, "Yet guides the small bird's wing. 'We ask not whence this stranger came, Nor why that blight unwonted flame "Which on his way attends: ''Enough for us with rays divine, "In our appointed paths to shine ''And s. rve our maker's ends." The sweet strain dies, and, with its fall, Again deep silence breathes through all The shining orbs of heaven. Father of Light ! to thee we bow. We seek not more to know than Thou Hast, in thy wisdom given. From the Raleigh Bcgister. A MEsMfilUC TRICK. Mr. Bendel and Frederick, b'eirig in Ncwbern at the time of the late Fire, gen erously offered to devote an Exhibition to the benefit of the sufferers. The proceeds, amounting to One hundred and six dollars, were promptly paid over to the proper au thorities. A Resolution of thanks was adopted at a public meeting of the citizens. Examination of Mr. Cooke. - The "Norfolk Beacon" says that the examina tion of Mr. Cooke, which exten led through a period often days, was concluded on Fri day, and he was remanded far trial to the Superior Court, which meets in June. Mr. Cooke was admitted to bail in the sum &f 510,000, which he gave on the spot and vas discharged from custody. ib. Prophetic Annunciation. The success 'hich has attended Miller's Lectures, has emboldened others to take the field; and among them Edward Palmer, of New t ork, who announces that he is divinely commissioned to declare certain tilings to mankind.

According to that resolution, it was to consist of thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the U nionwastobe thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representinga new constellation By an act of January 14, 1104, the stripes and stars were both to be fifteen in number, to take effect from the first of May 1705. This addition of two stars ami stripes to the flag was owing to the admission of Vermont and Kentucky into the Union, the former on the -1th of March 1791 the latter on the 1st ot June, 171)2 By another act of Congress in 1821. (we believe) it was provided that from and af ier the following fourth of July, the flag of the United States should consist of thirteen horizontal stripes anil the Union hecompo .sed of twentv stars. The same net also provided, that on the admission of every new Slate into the Union, one star should be added to the flag which addition shall take effect on the 4th of July then next succeeding such admission. Of course, the present flag of the United Stites con sists of Thirteen Stripes and twenty-six Stars. By this regulation the stt ipes rep present the number of States, by whose valor and resources American Indepen dence was achieved while the additional stars mark the increase of the States since the adoption of the present Constitution. 6 A Captain nut of Baltimore in a Scrape. The Wilmington (N. C.) Chron icie oi me linn nisi, says, uiai uapiam Leighton, of the brig Abigail Richmond, arrived there on the 15th from St. Thb'm as, states that before he left St. Thomas in telligence was received that Capt.

The sentence would have been much severer, but that he had rendered good services to some of the inhabitants in their distress caused by the earthquake. Captdn Cozzens belongs to the State of Maine. A letter Ins been received in Boston ) from Capt. Cozzens, in which he says he was innocent of anv intention of stealing 1 the monev, which was brought on boat d his j brig the day after the cart hqu ke, by per sons to whom it afterwards appeared, it did tint IipIoiht Jl Windfall. The Baltimore Siiti says: 'Wd understand that our fellow citizen, Mr. A. F. Judkin, upholster, South Cal vert street, recently received fr m Paris, a letter conveying the welcome intelli gence that by the will of .1 r la'ive lately deceased, there was now on dep site in the Bank of France, subject to his order, the snug sum of J625.000 sterling, or 5100,000. Mr. Judkin, we learn, has ta ken his departure for France, to assume possession of the cash. r Melancholy Suicide in New Jersey We learn that James F Hopping, of Chat ham, Morris County, committed suicide yesterday morning by opening a large vein in his arm. lie appeared well as u sual at breakfast, and nothing was observed in his manner to excite suspicion; not ap p aring at dinner, his family became alar med, and after search found him in the barn, with his sleeve bared and a knife by his side, a corpse! A letter was found which proved the act to have been premed itated, stating that he believed he had com mitted the unpardonable sin,&c.; and was weary of his life. He was a Justice of the Peace, and an intelligent and influential citizen, arid was last Monday chosen a Judge of Election. He has left a wife and family. Newark Adv.

Stringer, Esq., a Justice of the Peace, and incarcerated in the same cell with a British sailor charged with mutiny, and a boy charged with larceny. His pocket' were searched, and he was treated in even sense of the word as an ordinary culprit. Baltimore Clipper. 3 Q3 ' be case of the Roman Catholic priest, Winzepflin, indicted for committing a horrible outrage upon Mrs. Schmall. came up for trial in the Evansville (la ) ircuit Court last week. The jury could not agree, eleven being for his conviction, and one for his acquittal. The jury weie out 2t hours. He gave bail for bin appear ance at the next term of the Circuit Court, in the sum of 64,000. Louisville Jour. slssaulls upon Gentlemen of the Pub lic Press. These are becoming altogether too common. Peabody, of the Boston Bulletin is outrageously assaulted. Du Solle, of the Philadelphia Times is knock ed down in the Street. Streeter, of the Richmond Star, is savagely flogged. Brat ton, of the Harrishurg Reporter, is stabbed on the flodrof the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Gardner, of the Ports mouth Old Dominion, is killed. Now we confess We do not like this at all. Editors have toils enough sorrows enough cares enough, without thus being made the foot balls of every vulgar fellow that pltases to take oflence at what they rnay say in the course of their daily iournalizing. The profession is as honorable, and as arduous a one as any, and it is the duty of the high- minded and intelligent to support it against the assaults made upon its dignity and freedom, so far as it is possible for them to do so. But after all, perhaps editors ait t lie oest detendcrs oi tneir own persons and reputation. The quill is a little wea pon, but it is often more potent than the sword. Boston Bulletin. Siocking Murder in Firginia Nan scmond, April '20. An atrocious murder was committed in this neighborhood on Friday Inst. Two men, foreigners, hul purchased a small piece of ground adjoining the land of Mr. Weaver, an old and respec table inhabitant of these parts. While ll.e new comers were putting down a post ami rail fence, Mr. Weaver civilly informed them that they were encroaching on his premises. Some warm words ensued, when one of the strangers, whose name is Scott, thrust a sharp rail through the body of Mr. Weaver, and killed him instantl) . Scott has been arrested. The other mur derer, it is supposed, has taken passage in a schooner to Baltimore city. Philu. Eve. Mer. a q am. fVestern Steamers. It is a curiosity to see our steamers sometimes when full. They appear often as if they were made for the same purpose as Noah's ark. The "Goddess of Liberty," in a late trip to St. Louis, looked like one. She was literally covered and crammed with passengers, hor ses; cattle, hogs, dogs, furniture, & freight: hating on board upwards of 400 men, wo men; and children, more than 60 horses and hogs, about 170 dozen chairs, 46 wag ons and carriages, about 400 tons freight in the steamboat, and a freighted keel boat in tow. A child was born on the passage, seven p'gs, and a calf! So much for emi grating west. Cincinnati Gaz. An Indian Outrage. We learn, from the Galena Advertiser, that three Indians, belonging to Little Hill's band, wtnt down to Wilson's settlement after whiskey, and. while there, they got up a quarrel. One of the Indians shot a man by the name of At well; they then bound another by the name of Gardner, and tomahawked him. After having done this, they tomahawked three children, all there were in the house, leav ing them for dead. They then took pos session of the whiskey set the house on fire, and left. The oldest boy, thirteen years old, and a little girl, were not killed. The boy so far recovered as to take his father's watch, overcoat, & boots, and fifty dollars in gold, with his little sis ter, and started for Wilcox's settlement, ! due. mile below. He was found in the morning with both feel frozen up to the an kle. It is supposed that neither the boy nor his sister will te'over Captain Sum ner, within forty minutes after the news leached him. Icf: the fort with his mounted men in pursuit of the Indians. He over took dnd captured them, bringing them all into the fort. Wilcox's settlement is near Fori Atkinson, tin Turkey river, in Iowa territory. .The Indians were the Wiiine bagoes. O Itthe. dAn examination of the Bank of Illi nois has b -eii made by a Mr. Uivid Prick ett, who was appointed the commissioner to wind up the affairs of the Batik. Upon entering the' vaults. Instead of finding spe cie to lite amount of S.07,040, as reported liy the Cashier, Mr. Pricket t found but StSS.OOti; leaving a deficit of $il4j000, which the oflic is of the bank refuse to ac count for. Of course, this development pro luced great excitement at Shaw nee town. i6. JThe Montpelier (Vt J Watchman' slates that the maple sugar produced in that tate. the pr-sent season, at the low price of 5 cents per pound, will amount to SI .000,000 I his will make the quant it of sugar annul 20,000 hhds. In 1840, the quantity was but 5.500 hhds. ib. Twenty third of April A shower of Sulphur The Baltimore Sun of Monda says: There fell yesterday ii considerable quantity of rain, pi eeeded and accompanied by thUnder add lightning It had also rained heavily on tlie night previous, and in the morning Mte water in the bain, in the lower part of the Falls, and in the rain water cisterns, banels, &c. was completely covered with sulphur, or s mie substance exactly like it in appearance, which had evidently descended with the rain during the night. It was also to he seen in the streets in considerable quantity, where it had been left 'on deposite" by subsiding puddles. The believers in Millerism, no ticing the coincidence between thus sulphur shower and the day of the month the 23rd of April were alarmed, and fancied the existence of the world was certainly about to terminate; but the afternoon's rain washed away at once the Sulphur and their apprehensions, and "sic transit" Millerism in Baltimore. The Baltimore Patriot says: This depo site of coloring matter from rain, is by no means ah extraordinary thing, but is rather a common circumstance and had only this peculiarity yesterday, lhat it should havejlne ,jme nf ,ne terrible event, was such a9 (alien on the day said to be fixed lor the 1 1 rrmt.r the murder a double one. Cir end of the world. Beyond this accidental j plirMtanr io.wlt.rl nirmlc m fsipn snsm- coincidence there is nothing strange in the phenomenon, which without it would scarcely have been reniatked. Horrid Murder. A most shocking murder was committed in the routity ot Marion,- Mission I hursdav, the 21st ult I'he Paulding Cist ion gives the following particulars: A stranger, calling himself Newton, arrived some three weeus ago at the r si deuce of Mr. Robert Lott, an aged gentle man living on Black Cicek in the above county. He said he was desirous of pur chasing hogs and cattle. He finally suc ceeded in making a trade with Mr. L ; soon after which, he reported that the old gentleman had suddenly left the neighbor hood, for the purpose of attending a law suit in Jackson, Louisiana. Newton also stated that he had hi en hired to attend to Mr. L s business until he returned. He remained two days aOer the reported de parture of Mr L , when lie suddenly de camped, alter having delivered the keys of the house to one of the old gentleman s re lations. 'Aftcr Newton's departure, the suspi cions of the people ivere aroused, and it be came the general opinion that the old man had been muf-dered, or at least foully dealt with. The citizens immediately commen ted hunting for the body, and, after three days' Search, they found it in Black Creek. The body when found, presented the most awful sight that the mint! can conceive; both thighs had been severed from the bo dy, and the body then split in two. The murder, it is supposed, was effected with a hatchet, as several marks of the same were distinctly visible upon the head ahd face of the deceased. Every effoit is now ma king to secure the arrest of the fugitive, who, it is presumed, will endeavor to make his way to Mobile of New Orleans. Defalcation. The Globe says: We understand that the Collector of the Cus toms dl New Orleans, appointed by Mr. Tyler,- is minus in his cash account, about Si00,00C. The defalcation is said to have occuried about nine months ago. (JjAri action was recently brought in Boston by a widow lady of that city against a poor laboring man and his wife, for slan derous expressions used by the wife in re- ference to the former. Although the rUi Kind had not heen a partv to the slandefj be Ht ld r Sponsible in law for his wife & attack on the reputation of her neighbor and a verdict was accordingly given for Si 84 damagps in favor of the plaintiff. Give him his due. Trie editor of the "Midnight Cry," haj5 published a letter in the New York Tribune, denying that ever Mr. Miller predicted that ih 23rd of A rjril was the last day. He distinctly states that the event he predicted will occur some lime in 1843; so that if any were congrat ulating themselves upon an escape, they wilt find tliat they ae hallooing before they are out of the wodds. Bait Sun. Preferred Creditors The following law has been enacted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania. It votJld riot be amiss if such a laW was passed by every Legislature in the United Stales. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met,, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That all assignments of prop erly in trust, which shall hereafter be made by debtors to trustees, on account of inabi lity, at the time of the assignments, to pay their debts, to irefer one Or mbre creditors: (except for the payment of wages of labor,) shall he held and construed to inure to the benefit of all the creditors, in proportion to their respective demands, and all such as signments shall be subject, in all respectf, to the laws now in force relative to vbluH tary assignments. Provided, that the claims of !aboies thus preferred shall not severally exceed the sum of fifty dollars. Another atrocious mnrder.A most shocking murder was recently perpetrated oh the hotly of Mrs. Malinda Horn, wife of Adam Horn, residing about 22 mileS from Baliimore; on the Hanover Turnpike road, near tjje Blue Hell tavern. The un fortunate Victim, it appears, had mysteri ously disappeared from her home about four weeks since, aHd hrj intelligence could be had of her. The anxiety ahd Suspicion" of the neighbors becoming excited, they determined to institute search for her, and on Monday succeeded in findiug the body" enveloped in a coffee l?ag, in a ditch of a field fronting the house, where it had bred thrown. The legs and arms were severed from the body, ahd were found wrapped in a coarse cloth, 'the head had been ctlt en tirely bit, and has not yet been discovered. The deceased was about eighteen years of age, and had been married some twelve or fifteen months. Her delicate situation at eion on her husband, who is said to have so ill treated his wife as to cause her td have htm some time last fall, but she again returned, and was subject to frequent inis usage on subsequent occasions. From Hay Y:Gefi. llerard enteied , l'r 3n Prince at the head of the revolu tiohary army on the 21st of March, oil which occasion the I e Deum was chanted and the population manifested the most ex travagant joy. Thit e provisional depart ments of Government have been establish ed: that of the Interior was confided to David St. Pieux, of War to Laudun, and Finance to Bedouet. The Constituent As sembly was to assemble immediately, in Or der to adopt, a new Constitution. Martial law had been declared, and all Haytirrt0 between the ages of 15 antl 50 years, sum moned to arm in defence of the neiv gov ernment. Every cultivator was required 10 plant Haifa square Ol land with grain, or produce of a cfuick growth; within eight days from the 23d of March. The name1 of Port au Prince is changed to Port Re publican; We learn from the Mobile Herald, that the" British sloop of war Magnet arrived at Peiisacola ofi the 10'th int., having ofi board Boyer, Ex-President of Hayti. Cuba. A letter from Cttba, in the Charleston Courier, states that the number of slaves killed, or who committed suicide, during and subsequently to the late insur rection near Cardenas, is about 360. 1 he scene a few days afterwards," says the wri ter, was very revolting, none of the dead were buried, and their swollen corpses ly ing on the ground, or hanging from the1 limbs of tiees, presented a horrible specta cle; while the deserted estates, the burnt fields and dwellings, added still more to the .df of desolation spread around.'' A letter from Havana state? that tne loss of properly in consequence of the recent insurrection of the negroes near Cardenas is estimated at 5300,000. Five estates were laid waste by fire. Trouble in Porto Rico The Nev York Herald learns by the Sdsan, frorri Ponce, Porto fiico, lhat great numbers of armed negroes were seen on the borders of he island, and that the whites were in a constant state of alarm.
