1 have spent a day at Tivoli with Messrs. !
ViJmiutv and Bisseil, of our Navy, and one or
i*utifu.fanning quite an American party.—
V\V passed the ruins of the baths ol Diocletian,
aiin a heavy cloud over our heads; but vve were

Min *‘»ei)t oft* over Soracte, and the sky wav

i have seen many finer falls than Tivoli; that
is u,..ir water, and falling farther; but I do not
think tti"re is so pretty a place in the world.—
\ very dinj v illage, a dirtier hotel, and a cice
r me all rags and ruffianism, are somewhat dump*
rt* to anticipation We [Kissed through a bro-.
ken gate, and with a step, were in a glen of fairy
bad; the Itghtrst and loveliest of antique tem
ple* on a crag above, a snowy waterfall ol some
haadred and li'tyr feel below, grottoes mossed to
the mouth at tlie river’s outlet and all up and
down the cleft valley vines twisted in the creei- .
ers of rokk, and shrubbvt j hanging on every \
levlg-*, with a felicity of taste or nature, or both, i
that is uiicoiii'non even in Italy. The fall itself
louit-s iu>hing down through a grotto tu the face !
id the precipice* over which it leaps and looks
like a sub'erranean river just coming to light —
Is bed is rough above, and it bursts forth from
tt» tavern in dazzling loam, and falls in one
-[fi'i sheet tu the gulf. The lulls of Monttuo
rnict are nut unlike it.
\\ t descended to the bottom, and from the lit
tb tnraie, wet by the spray and daik with over-'
lungingrucks, looked up the 4* cavern of Nep
dtie." a deep passage, thiough which half the dl
V'drtl livi-r rashes to meet tiie fall in the gulf.— !
fan remounting to the top, we took mules to
aike the three miles* circuit of tlie glen, and see •
v: vt are called the Caaratel/i.
Nuiairy-work could exceed the beauty of the
in e antique Sybil’s temple, perched on the top
“* the nag above the full. As vve rode round
'h* other edge ol the glen it stood opposite us in
11 the beau' v of its light and airy architecture; a !

,1I> . we passe*) an old man, whose pictur- i
•r'Ue "5ur<f» enveloped in his brown cloak and
' . ***** arrested the attention of all my
ropaaions. I had seen him before. From a
‘ minute's sketch in passing, Mr. Cole had
, j * one °*. **** *°o*t spirited heads 1 ever saw,

•r« *nd expression. |
lotne other of the wonders of antique art. The
tun had set, however, and the long campagna »f
twenty miles lay between at and Rome. We
were compelled to leave it unseen. We entered
the gates at nine o'clock, unrobbed—rather an
unusual good fortune, we werg told, for travel-1
lers after dark on that lonely waste. Perhaps
aur number deprived us of the romance.
I left a crowded ball-room at midnight, wear
ied with a day at Tivoli, and oppressed with an
atmosphere breathed bv two hundred, dancing
snd cardplaying, Romans and foreigners; and
with a step from the portico of the noble palace
of our host, came into a broad beam of moon
light, that with stillness and coolness of the night
refreshed meat once, and banished all disposi
tion for sleep. A friend was with me, and l
proposed a ramble among the ruins.
The sentinel challenged us as we entered the \
Forum. The frequent robberies of romantic!
strangers in this lonely place have made a guard
necessary, and they are now stationed from the 1
Arch of Severus to the Coliseum. We passed
an hour rambling among the ruins of the temples.
Not a footstep was to be heard, nor a sound even
Irom the near city—and the tall columns, with
their broken friezes and capitals, and the grand
imperishable arches, stood up in the bright light
of the innon, looking indeed like monuments of
Rome. I am told they are less majestic by day- i
light. Tire rubbish and fresh earth injure the
effect. But I have as yet 9een them in the garb
of moonlight only, and I shall carry this impre9-1
sion away It is to me now, all that my fancy (
hoped to find it—its temples and columns just !
enough in rum to be affecting and beautiful.
We went thence to the Temple of Vesta. It
is shut up in the modern streets, ten or fifteen
minutes walk from the Forum. The picture of
this pet feet temple, and the beautiful purpose of
its consecration, have been always prominent in
rnv imaginary Rome. It is worthy of its asso
ciation; an exquisite round temple, with its sim
ple circle of columns from the base to the roof,
a faultless thing in pmpoition, and as light and
floating to the eye as if the wind might lift it_
It was no common place to stand beside, and re
cat the poetical truth and fiction of which it has
been the scene—the vestal lamp cherished by its
high born votaries, their honors if pure, and
their dicadful death if faithless. It needed nut
the heavenly moonlight that broke across its co
lumns to make it a very shrine of fancy
My companion proposed a visit next to the
Cloaca Maxima. A common sctcer, after the
Temple of Vesta, sounds like au abrupt transi
turn; but the arches beneath which we descend*
ed were touched by moonlight. Aid the, vines
and ivy crossed our path, and instead of a drain
of fi:th, which the fame of its imperial builder
would scarce have sweetened, a rapid stream
leaped to the light, and disappeared again be
neath the solid masonrv, more like a wild brook
plunging into a grotto than the thing one expects
to find it. The clear little river Juturun, (on
the banks of which Castor and Pullux watered
their foaming horses, when bringing the news of
victory to Rome.) dashes now thruugh the Cloaca
Ma xiiiut; and a fresher and purer spot, or wa
ters w ith x more musical murmur, it has not been
my fortune to see. We sto -ped over a broken
column for a drink, and went home, refreshed,
to bed.

NKW-YORK MARKET—May 20
Corn Exchange — The demand for flour was
good, and an active, business was done, chiefly in
Western, up to Friday evening. Pi ices gradu
ally advanced up to that day, and on that dav
a larger advance took pjace than on any previous
day, in consequence of reports that the western
canal hud suffered extensive damage bv the flood
A good many kaIc* weie effected under this excite
ment, at #Ju for common brands. On Saturday it

a total loss.
Elilabbtr City, N. C. Mar 11—Shipwreck.
—The schooner John Bartlet, Capt Pitcher, who i
who sailed from this port IS*t month, with a car
go of corn, for Dighton, in attempting to cross
the S.wash at Ocracock, on the 24th, struck seve
ral times, and ihe wind blowing fresh from NE,
was driven ashore, where she thumped so heavy
that she bilged, and, with the cargo, is totally '
lost. The vessel and cargo were owned by Mr.
H. N. \\ illiams, of this town, and we are glad
to learn they were insured, though not for an
amount sufficient to cover the loss, as the vessel
had receutly undergone a thorough repair.
A strange fatality seems to attend vessels from
this port. This is the third lost by Mr. W. in
the last six or eight months. The schrs. Cham
pion,Capt Hawes,and Advance,Captain Tilton, I
discharged their cargoes and were on their pas- j
sage home, the latter sailed from the West In
dies, since which neither of the vessels, nor any
of their crews have been heard from. Besides
these a brig owned by Mr. R. M. Knox, of this
place, and commanded by Captain Slocum,made
a voyage to the West Indies, sometime in th? fall
or winter, since which nothing has been heard t
of her, and her crew have no doubt found a wa- j
tery grave. All these were staunch, well built
vessels, new or nearly so, well found, and com
manded by old and experienced ship masters,
who were residents of the place; two of them
have left families—one a wife, the other a wife
and several small children, to mourn their un- i
