From the Nr;c- York Commercial ,‘ldrerliti.r.
There is n*» less of poetic beauty than of genuine feeling
tn the following lines from the pensive muse of our old frlettd
*t>J correspondent.
MY K.\rXY DAY.
•‘My early day.whnt joys were thine! ’
And yet thou It ad's t some sorrows too;
A varied wreath they join'd to twine.
\u l 'midst it Hope her blossoms threwt
B n lie oil the breeze, her losy kiss
Bade Pleasure sojourn thcie,
\.nve ramc to tune iiei lute ol bliss,
Ami iviiiiicms sung to cate.
Deardavsof peace! ah, whither fled?
O'er my young Ko.v'r ye did but hover,
i'licu, like the dove, your pinions spread.
And v-mght your home, the -Kies Ion-vet!
dour morning gales my path beguil’d.
Nor whisper’d they should dip so soon;
Nor cicli bright bod that round il smil'd,
Ditain of departing ere 'tiva> noon.
Hut tho«e ate hush'd, nud these are gone,
And sadness rules tin* blighted scene;
l wander downcast and alone.
Scarce mindful they have ever been!
3o chill, Time*-- marble foot hal!i pass'd
Through childhood's dimpled vale.
No herb cun bloom, no verdure last,
To cheer life's ev'uing pile.
Sweet hours! with golden pastimes fraught,
On you 1 turn my streaming eve
And think: and in that racking thought,
My heart, my gushing heart, would die.
Ye conjecture up each onre-lov’d form,
Krtch well icmcmbcied voice awaken;
Then show me how they met the storm,
And sunk, on Joy’s blight shore forsaken!
Ne’er shall they mount with me again,
I lov'd so well—yon sunny steep—
One stroke hath dash’d our hands in twain,
And 'neath its bronmwnnd edge they sleep.
His pang descends not to their bed,
Who sickens round the scene,
To know life’s infant riow'rs are dead,
Its riper thorns yet green.
On wing more swift than morning lark,
Mv faded yea is unlov'd tire Imrne;
Where wilt thou land me, oh my baik,
If not to youth's dear port v\e turn?
Must man n'erpas- the beek'niug vale.
An * all its winning sweets iciiounce?
Alas! he spreads no second sail,
He freights his hatk hut once!
Oh tell me, “step-dame Nature,” tell,
Where shall thy wayward child abide,
On what far stiatid his spirit dwell.
When life hath sp-at its struggling tide?
Shall hope no more her taper uuiuio.
Quench'd in'the teais that Sorrow sends;
No.- from the tl nst Mi-fortune spurn
The wishful wretch that o’er it bends?
No more shall folly's yellow wing
O'er l’li i .lie's path shed sickly dews?
Nor Youth's delightful day ol spring
'Mid Cliff's dim cloud its lustre lose?
Say, ne’er shall wealth’s gay spangled plume
Deceive, as when it eist was mine?
Not l.ovt turn sliudd’ring from the tomb;
Nor Joy at her siimt reign repine-1
And when the grave, if* grassy v* il
Between these eyes and litis shall -ipreaJ,
Shall Mein’ry blight the primrose pule.
That kindly strives to shade my bed?
Or shall the form that slumbers there.
No more of pain nor death endure?
Oh, pour thine answer on my ear,
‘‘I've to!ihec, told thee, child—no more!"

AWAKE YE PROSTRATE GRECIAN BAND!
“The Turks are assisted i» their warfare against the
Greeks by French Officers.”
Awake! ye prostrate Grecian hand!
Think of Achilles’ bcaiiiing brand
Around the walls of Troy.
?.Iay Diomede's fierce soul of fire
Youi prone etleiiiiiiate iniinls inspire
To check the Turks'proud joy.
What, though the Moshtmiind tin* Frank
.'oin hnn i to hand and rank to rank,
Thronging your island seas;
Remember wise Ulysses' toil,
flow to each foe lie gave the foil.
Spread your sail to the breeze.
I.o! the vile Crescent’s pointed horn,
Hwift on the wrathful tempest borne,
Shower fires upon the foe.
Like Ilion's crackling towers they fall,
And many n tm-ban'd warrior tall,
Sleeps in the sen below.
From Britain's isle there mine a Lord,
V\ ho well could wield tii» pen and swoid,
He perished in your cause:
But from that phtenix ‘hall arise
Another warrior,* with supplies.
To frame proud Freedom's laws.
The God of battles shall you chcei:
Grasp eveiy hand the sword and spear,
For home and country n.-ht,
Columbia’s stars of glory, see;
Columbia's sons now ever lice:
Feat not a despot's blielit.
Ar >>! arm! again united lliiong.
The isles shall echo h.tck your song—
‘■We're Iren, lire battle's won,’’
Our homes, our altais, hearth, we hail,
Wi'h rapture fur! each swelling sail.
The Warriors toil is done. K.

THK CAPTAIN PAC1IA.
At a time when every tiling connected with the struggle
of the (.reeks against the Turks is iiiteicstiug, the following
desriiptinn of the Captain l'acha's office, his rank nnd
character, will lie read wish pleasure. We have taken it
[from a late number of the Courier d>s Huys Hus.
1 lie Captain Pnehn, grand adiTnal of the Ottr.inan em
(iiie, occupies the third place in the State. At sea. his
power is as extensive as that of the Giand V’isicr on land.
All tin* ntlicers of the navy are under Iris orders; and as
soon as the tlect leaves the Llaidunells, he heroines absolute
lord and master of the life and fortune of his subordinates.
Ills suite resembles a numerous court. Mis revenues ate
immense, deliver! fumi subsidies furnished by the islands of
the C>• eek Archipelago, and the people of Asia Minor. He
receives, in addition to these, a tilth of al! pities, and makes
all appointment.; in the navy.
\k lien the fleet is about t.. leave the road of Constanti
nople, the Grand Visior proceeds to Teistinch, and the
Captain Pacha meets him there. As soon as he puts his
t foot on shore, lie gives to the Pjjme Minister, the Admiral's
j baton, which lie holds in his hand. The Grand Viscr
i walk s he'tire, and . ondurtx him t > a place where the g • at
j public officers have been assembled. The Treasurer ol the
l .Navy ts then sent for, »o whom the Sultan proposes the fol
j lowing (|tie$tion: Have the captains of Miitis made the
■ necessary preparations for the departure of the fleet? Af
1 t-*r the teply is made, the caftan is handed to this officer,the
j Sultan gives Older; fot the embark itioo of the Captain
Pacha, r-ti l the superior officers range themselves in double
ram, t i s lute the Grand Visior ns lie pusses through them.
He still holds the baton during this ccremunv. The Reis
KfTeiidi, cud the other nlliccrs. follow alter him. and allem
b. k in ugalhy. Til'-Captaiil I’acha *1.1 nds in it COP>i>iru
I oil-.: place ami -a!nt''s tim \i iteis WIvilM the flei t is at
! nnciior liefore the Fort ol Klteii.l'/e Gapu, the Grand Vister.
j the Captain Pacha, nnd the other ntlicers, proceed in the
J galley to the torrent above the Serai1, where the Sultan
; awaits n( the sailing of the ll> et.
Phc Atlmiral her. receive* the final aiders ofliis highness,
ami is covered wi'.h a magnificent caftan. The chief offi
cers of the fleet me then intinduced. who ndvaitrr town ids
the lluer.e. kneel and tere'ne rr.lt.ms, the value of which, is
prnpoitinned to their rank, i."nutation, and favour. The
Captniti Pacha then retires, leaning on one of his atten
dants, alter the custom ol the f-'ast in great cereionuics.
I he purge in which lie leaves the shore is splendid, and
manned with twenty-four rowers. At Rafchyktasch, he
aw ;«its a favourable wind.
l l;e Captain Pacha is often appointed by favour, though
ignorant of maritime affairs. It: combats with the Gtreks.
these Admirals have always been defeated; one was blown
into the air, the other was decapitated 01 exiled Ivy order of
the Sultan. The present one will nut be more fm'.unntc.

Thc S.'i'if cy'.v f iucr.—A recent tourist, whose oHpi,va
I *intis appear in tiic New-Yoik Commercial Advertiser,
f gives the following, respecting the mode of making and pre
j npi ving Cider, as practised by the Shakers, of Canterbury,
I in IS’i'w-Hampshirc:
*' i heir fin. Cider sells in Boston for ten dollars the barrel,
a fart which has several times gone the rounds of tile news
papers We made p:nticular inquiries respecting their
mo.ie of manufacturing this article, but could not leant
that they had any peculiar process. Their fruit is of the
ordinary kind, and tie.* apples an* gathered as they fall, and
housed, bate in November they an* ground in n mill, after
the defective ones have been caiefuily separated, and the
puuiare is suffered to remain in the vat over night, and un
til it assumes a red colon, throughout --It is then pressed
in the usual maimer, and tire cider is pul into casks perfectly
clean and sweet. They prefer nun hogsheads, w hen it i.-> '
possible to obtain them. In December, after the fermeuta- j
tion has subsided, they rack oft* the cider, and add to each !
hogshead a gallon of brandy, distiller! from the tit es. In;
March, they again v.tek into clean hogsheads, and the I
liquor requires no further attention. They ncvei drink it
*itilr« it is at least two years old, and it continues to im
prove *oy age.—That which we lasted was five years old.”
Gambling on a lirr^a scale. — The Count Salvinsky, a
I’oliimler. has recently lost at piquet 520,000 acres of wood
land,and a chateau situate in S ixony. The Prince Dologo
rnuky i.- the winner. The Count Salvinsky is the same
person who at Constantinople won of the Captain Pacha,
at a game of chess, 12 slave' and J6.000 leopard skins, the
former of which he set at liberty, and tin latter sold in
Hungary for 70,000 drums.
Died, at Pensacola, on the -3 i of September, Grioncr. F.
Bur NT. formerly of Virginia. On his dentil bed, and only
a few hums before lie expired, a most interesting scene took
place. He expressed a wish to he united to the object of
his must heartfelt affection—an affection which was warm
ly reciprocated, and which bail occasioned an engagement
of longstanding. His wish was promptly complied will),
and he was married to Miss Merceil A. («nnzn|p7, by the
llev. Mr. Maenhant of the Catholic Church, of which they
were both members. He then took leave of his friends se
parately, and breathed bis last.
