SELECTED POETRY.
TAGLIONI.
From a Poem by the Rev. J. Mitford, prefixed to the
new Kdition of the Works of Parnell.
One moment linger! lo, from Venus’ bower*
Descends the youngest of the roseate hours:
She cosies, in alt her blushing beauty borne.
From the far fountain* of the purple morn.
Aurora’s self! what time her brow resumes
The bright refulgence of its golden plume*,
Sylph of the earth! the sky! and ob, as fair
And beauteous as her sisters of the air.
In that sweet form what varied graces meet,
Love in her eve and music in her feet!
Light as the bounding fawn along the lea.
Or blithe bird glancing on the summer tree;
Light as the foam when Venus leaves the wave
Or blossoms fluttering over April’s grave.
Mark on von roae lights the celestial tread—
The trembling stalk but just declines its head.
Sweet Ariel floats above her as she springs.
And waft* the flying fair, and bend* her wings.
Now wreath’d in radiant smiles she seems to
Slide, »
With buoyant footsteps, like Favonins’bride,
Or Psyche, zephyr borne, to Cupid’s blushing
»ide.
lLr light svmar in lucid beauty streams,
Of woven air, so thin the texture seems.
Round her small waist the zone young Iris binds,
And gives the sandals that command the winds.
A thousand voices challenge music’s throne.
Daughter of Air! this empire is thine own:
Here Taglioni reigns, unrivall’d and alone!
Public Patronage.—A concert of vocal and in
strumental music was given in the Masonic hall
in Newport, on Friday evening. “ Between
eight and ten” ladies anil gentlemen attended in
side—some sixty or seventy well dressed per
one, of both sexes, regaled themselves them
selves with the performances, gratis, outside, un
der the opened windows.—[Providence Journal.
How forcibly does this story exemplify our
own situation, condemned like these poor perfor
mers to toil day after day for those who contri
bute nothing towards the heavy expenses we have
to bear, much less as a remuneration for the un
ceasing health-destroying labor which has fallen
to our lot. There is something so unreasonable
and at the same time so unjust in this treatment
_something so selfish and illiberal, that we are
forced to believe it, in many cases, rather the re
sult of thoughtlessness and habit than of inten
tional conscious wrong-doing. !f any sum be ju-.
dkiousty and economically expended, we take it
to be that which is given in return fora newspa
per of useful and amusing information. Placing
before vou everv dav in the vear the earliest do.
mestic and foreign intelligence, it makes it. rea
ders live, as it were, at the same time in every
portion of the earth. The east and the west the
north and the south, the four quarters of the globe
and the very oceans themselves are ransacked
for whatever may interest or instruct. 1 he pro
gress of the arts and sciences, the advances ol
civilization intelligence, the history of every
country and of every individual from the wars
and revolutions of a State to the unimportant ac
cidents of a private citizen, are but a portion of
its dailv contents. Whatever information may
be profitable in business, whatever amusements ■
may vary the dullness of life, form a part of the j
mass of information which the press is ever busy
in preparing for the public. It is at once Church J
and State, in every free and enlightened
community- It exposes and disgraces the vi
cious; it is the best reward of virtue, private or
public; it is the true sovereign, teaching its sub
iects not alone what iou». wnai iuhwh-™w »
alike both of the mind and of the person, Its
despotism is not tyranny but freedom; it is the
only church from which there are no dissenters.
We hope this argumentation may 9erve—not
to convince the'public of the advisability of read
ing the news, but of the honesty and propriety of
payiog a subscription to those papers which it is
pleased to honor with a perusal.— Nich. Compiler.
We learn that the Board of Ordnance which
met in this city, according to previous arrange
ment, ves’erday, adjourned to a future day, with
out proceeding to make its intended experiments,
Slc for the purpose of systematising that branch
ol the Military Seivice. It will re assemble some
time in ihe autumn, which season is better adapt
ed than the present for the proposed experiments.
The contempt which some of the Jackson press
es affect for the letters of Maj Jack Downing, is
like that betrayed of Black Hawk during the Pre
sident's Progress. The Indian rival could be sent
in a different direction, and hurried away tathe
land ol his fathers; but Major Jack is master of
his own movements and positions, and in some
sort ubiquitary: he will be the Monsieur lonson
of the political farce. Cried down he cannot be,
read he will be, and admired too, by all the peo
ple. We are quite sure that when hi* regular
narrative of the Progress, and his occasional epis
tles supplementary, shall appear in a volume em
bellished with ruts, he will be soon and long as
much in vogue as ever John Bunyan has been.—

The Haverhill Iris, «»f Friday, furnishes the
following account of-a Sea Monster seen in our
bay. The Serpent, in this instance, appears to
have assumed a shape •• very like a Whale,” but
the great horn is a poser:—
The Sea-Serpent with a jury mast — Capt.
E*ra Smith, of the achr. Prospect, of this place,
informs us, that while out in the Bay on his late
trio from Boston, he aud his men had a o ear,
cl„r ,nd Ml «•« * <h' *°
iLi He savs thee were of the Whale species
—that there'were one old and very large one,
and two young ones. He saw them as many as a
hundred ^different times. The largest of the
i three, he thinks, would measure about 70 ]
in length. He says that about the middle ol
the whale, a horn or something else, rose straight
up, he should judge, from 10 to 15 feet, about
the size of a barrel at the bottom, and bat at the
top. Capt. Smith thinks that is what many have
taken to be the ep-tumed head of the Sea Ser
pent He sari the small whales move in the
I wake of the large one, and thfc accounts for
the great length which so many have given to
their fancied Sea Serpent. Capt. Smith aod his
men distinctly heard the whale blow or spout a
number of times.
[■The original Sea Serpent was full rigged,
but probably he was struck by a squall when
under a press of sail and thus got dismasted,
and has rigged this jury-mast by the assistance
of the “ two young ones.” Capt. Smith , heard
him blow or spout a number of times. He was
onlv blowing his “horn,” and sounding the
trump of hi* own fame.J—Boston Ga2.
Captain Sawyer, of the brg Eliza, of Dama
riscotta, arrived at Philadelphia, from Eastport,
reports that Gt. Egg Harbor, bearing N W. by
N. 8 leagues distant, he saw a large Turtle.—
Capt. S. took an observation from the foretop
with his glass, and describes it as af least fifteen
feet in length, and about twenty feet in girth.—
The first officers and others on board testify to
the fact. Perhaps it was a whale. At any rate
it was a whaltr.
CHOLERA.
From the Charlestown (Fa.) Free Press.
By the subjoined letter from Col. Harper,
Mayor of Shepherdstown, it will be seen that the
Cholera, after lingering for some time past on
the Maryland shore, in the vicinity of that place,
has at length made its appearance on the Virgi
nia side. The alarm, although great for a few
days, we are pleased to learn has nearly subsid
ed, no new case having occurred for the last two
days. The general health of the town is good,
and it is confidently hoped and believed the in
comprehensible but dreaded visiter has already
changed his abode.
Our towu, too, has received a warning, l*y the
death of a colored boy, the property of Mrs.
Griggs. He was attacked on Friday last, at 1
o’clock, p. m., and died at 9, the same evening.
This is the only case we have heard of, this sea
son, in our immediate vicinity, yet it is enough
to convince us that the cause is amongst us: let
us guard against, and be prepared to meet, its
effects!
To the Editor of the Free Prese.
Shkpherdstown, Aug. 13, 1833.
Dear Sir—1 have been requested to inform
you officially, thpt there has not been a case of
cholera reported since yesterday morning. The
few cases yet remaining, are all on the mend.—
We have hail seven deaths in town, of cholera,
since last Friday morning,—four whites and
three black*. The n.imes of the whites are —
Edward Bennett,
Daniel Markle, sen.
David Cline,
Samuel Bast.
Blacks —Hannah Hogan, free; Milly, free;
Daniel, slave belonging to Capt. Glenn's estate.
We have had three deatns which are said not i_
N. E. Turner, merchant of this place; and a
child of Mr. Joseph Entler.
If anv new cases of cholera should occur, be
tween this date and the time of issuing your pa
ner I will, if possible, eive you notice thereof.
P ’ CHARLES HARPER, Mayor.
From the Hagerstown Press, Aug. 14
The Cholera in Hagerstown—We have .
not vet published any cases of Cholera existing
in Hagerstown, because we have waited for a re-,
port from the Board of Health. They have giv- ;
in none, and we think we are warranted in let
ting our country friends know the actual state of (
affairs, to allay the false impressions created by !
rUThe first case of a resident of the town, this
season, was on Sunday the 4th inst. 1'V0 "I(J
^uraii women were taken on that day and died
the next,—on Tuesday ap old colored man died.
Since then there have been four deaths, viz: on
Saturday morning last, Mrs Fov, wife of Mr.
Michael Foy; and on Saturday night two ch.l
dren, and one old lady, the wife o! Mr. M‘Cos
ky, near the Catholic grave yard.
QUAKER TRIAL.
To the Editors of the Philadelphia Gazette.
Trenton, Wednesday evening, August 14.
The Hon Samuel Southard finished his argu.
ment to dav, at noon. We rejoice that the la
! hours of the court are drawing to a close; more
i than four weeks have been occupied in the hear
I in* of this very interesting cause, and we hope
1 that the decision mav have the effect to settle the
1 question relative to property throughout the
whole of this highly respectable society.
The court sat this afternoon with closed doors,
but has not yet come to a decision, and most pro
bably it will not be given until 12 o’clock to
morrow.
Whatever may be the result of this cause, we
think the patience of the court, the talents,
learning and zeal of the counsel employed by
both parties, will insure to them a decision which
should not be complained of; for any unpreju
diced person could not have watched the pro
gress of this trial without feeling assured of the
determination of the court to render strict jus
tice to the parties concerned.
We imagine that the counsel engaged in this
suit, have never had an opportunity for the dis
play of their knowledge and talents, which has
contributed more largely to their popularity as
advocates, than the one now before our Court of
A*NeUher has the talent and ingenuity been con
fined to those who argued the cause. In the ex
amination of the witnesses, Messrs. Stona and
Price have exhibited a judgment, and knowl
edge' of their subject, which reflect the highest
credit upon their professional character.
It remains for us to say, that Mr. Southard
was listened to with the greatest interest by an
overflowing audience, and we are ready to con
cur with the general opinion, that he stands
among the firat orators in our country. In his
conclusion this morning, he was strongly elo
quent and affecting. To use his own language,
he solicited such a decision at should induce
»• the members of this society to look upon each
other as brethren, as equals, and to worship the
God of their fathers in united adoration.* *
Very respectfully* yours, &c.
State of Navigation on the Ohio.—For more
than two week9 past the water in the river has
been very low: steamboats, however, continue
to arrive at this place from below. I he last ar

Since that time 9 steamboats have arrived at this
port, and 6 departed. Since the 29th the steam
boat Eclipse has made one entire trip to Louis

The “ Thompsonian Practice” of Medicine is

ther fortunately or unhappily, we undertake not
to say. Many men of fine sense are converts.—
We suspect the truth lies in the middle—that it
has killed, and that it has cured—that it deserves
neither the strong reprobation of the faculty, nor
quite so much enthusiasm as its disciple! display
—that it possesses certain valuable discoveries,
but that these, in the hands of ignorant men,
have sometimes destroyed life.

Plagiarism — We give below some rather cu
rious instances of bare-faced plagiarism lately
brought to light and exposed.
The New York American says—
“ Ji Remarkable Coincidence! is exposed in
the Post of last evening, between an original!
article in the Knickerbocker of this month, and I
one in Fraser’s Edinburgh Magazine for June 1
last. This second hand originality is of a piece i
with the ingenuity we have lately seen exposed
i of appropriating, under the pretext of a second I
title, the contributions meant for and addressed
toothers.”
The New York Commercial says_
“ A very excellent oration was delivered two
or three years since, by a Mr. Tnompson, of
Ohio, who represents a portion of the sovereign-1
ty of that state in Congress. He also caused it
to be printed. It was worthy of the richest ty
pographical drapery—as every other composition l
is which conies—as Mr. Thompson’s oration did i
—from the pen of Mr. Charles Sprague, of Bos- i
was cr,ue.l,in Mr* Sprague thus to steal I
