THE DEPARTED TRIBES.
BY I. M’LELLAN, JR.
They’re fading, they’re fading,
In solemn gloom away;
Like vapors on the mountain,
At dawning of the day;
They’re falling, they’re falling,
Like leaves in autumn time,
When in the woods the cheerless breeze
Sighs forth its hollow chime!
They’re dying, they’re dying,
Like those who feel at heart,
That stern consumption’s finger
Is beckoning to depart.
I look upon the mountain top—
Lo! all their fires are out!
I tread along the vallies,
Lo! silent is their shout!
Along the green marge of the lake,
Along the sandy shore,
A solemn voice doth seem to say,
The old tribes arc no more!
Their very names are all forgot,
Their ancient graves unknown,
And dim oblivion’s shadow
Around them wide is thrown.
Health of Baltimore.—The bill of mortality
for Baltimore the last week, presents the very
low number of only thirty sir persons, two of
whom died of old age—a degree of health sel
dom witnessed in any of our large sea-port
towns at this season ot the year.
In Philadelphia, last week, there were 103
deaths—60 aJults and 48 children.—Balt. Ciaz.
Health of the City—The official returns of
deaths in this city during the week ending Satur
day morning last, has not yet been received, but
it is understood that the whole number does
not exceed 300, including 35 or 90 by Cholera.
The whole number of deaths during the previ
ous week was404 of which bv Cholera 197.

Specie.—The Poland has on board 812,680,
12150 five franc pieces, 2000 francs, and 8 bbls.
specie. The Montreal has also 20 boxes of
gold.
The Sylvia de Grasse, from Havre, brought
out in francs and gold, about 500,000 dollars.
New York Gaz.
Josepeh Bonaparte.—This distinguished gen
tleman was at London at the last advices. We
have seen recent letters from him to a friend in
this country, in which he expresses a strong de
sire to return to the United States. He is de
tained in Europe, waiting permission to visit
Rome, to settle some family affairs. He has ob
tained the requisite passports from all the great
powers, but there are two pretty Princes, who
will not allow him to pass through their domin
ions.—A’. V'. Com.
Novel Excursion —The Race-boat Whitehall,
with four Whitehall oarsmen, will leave New
York this morning, for Philadelphia, by way ol
the Delaware and Raritan Canal—intending to
row the distance and be in Philadelphia by sun
down.—N. Y. Amer.
North Carolina (raid Coin.— I'he Carolinians
have contrived to put their gold into a shape to
pass by tale. Several skilful essayists have es
tablished themselves in the gold regions, and
have acquired so much reputation for accura
cy, that their pieces of gold marked “ five dol
lars,” pass every where as half eagles. It is a
kind of inspection, yet we think it may finally
make trouble, as these pieces may be counter
feited without incui ring the same penalty which
is attached to counterfeiting the national coin,
or in fact any penalty at all.

Distressing Intelligence.—News has been re
ceived by the owners of the brig Charles Dog
gelt, from Capt. Batchellcr. dated at Manilla,
April 7, in which he gives the melancholy intel
ligence of his crew, 14 in number, having been
attacked at the Fejee Islands, in Sept, by the
natives while employed on shore, and nine of
their number killed, viz. Charles Shipman. 1st
officer, Benj. W. Barton, Ichabod Smith, Wm.
Horn, and an Otaheitan seaman. The other
four had been left by other vessels that had vi
sited the Islands, and at the time of attack were
all in the employ of Capt. B. Those who es
caped were all wounded, among them was Mr.
Jes Magoon, of Salem, not badly. After an ab
sence of 10 or 15 davs Captain B. returned to the
place, when the natives restored the bodies of
his deceased men. On his passage to Manilla,
Capt. B. touched at the Peiew Islands, and was
there attacked by several hundred natives, whom
he beat off without any loss on his part, except
a Sandwich Island boy. The 2d officer was
thrown overboard in the skirmish, but was for
tunately saved.—.V. Y. Jour. Com.
The Courier & Enquirer, already painfully
large for slender arms to extend, appears this
morning on a broader sheet. It was formerly
called the blanket; it must now be considered
the counterpane. We lost a penny paper in its
folds, and found it, after a search, in the corner
of an advertisement.— .V. Y. Star.
.4 Luxury.—We were yesterday permitted to 1
examine a cigar, presented by the commander
of an English ship to the master of one of our |
whalemen, just returned from the Pacific, as a
memorial of the imitative power of our eastern j
brethren. This cigar was taken from a large1
parcel which the Briton had purchased of the 1
Yankee, with intent to solace himself occasion
ally with a glorious puff of the pure Indian
weed; and the disappointment of Mr. Bull’s
nose, so sharply bent on being regaled with the
true Virginia fragrance, at perceiving an odor
exceedingly unlike that of the anticipated to
bacco, may be readiiy imagined. Like the
sample now shown us, his wjiolestock of smoke
tubes con-isted of cigar-shaped rolls of oak
leaves and skunk cabbage, without even^ypinch .
of snuff intermixed, to give them a taflr

FALLS OF NIAGARA. j
The following description of the Falls of Nia- j
gara is from Ingraham’s ‘ Manual,’ a very ex
cellent little book, intended for the use of visit
ers to that region; being an epitome of a larger
and more extended work, relative to that niosj
stupendous wonder of the world:
Having taken a brief preliminary view of the
waters of the St. Lawrence, and the natuial
features of the Niagara, we come now to the
centre of all the attractions of this region ol
many wonders—the Falls; for this, pur ejce -
lence, is their appropriate cognomen, tncre be
ing no others like them in the world, none that
can dispute with them the claim to this charac
teristic and appropriate title. “ They are alone
in their kind. Though a water-fall, this is not
to be compared with other water-falls; in its
majesty, its supremacy, and its Influences upon
the soul of man, its brotherhood is with the liv
ing ocean and the eternal hills.-’
FJ ....... .. _„»_Hi
“ mere is nougm mcc. i nut «« i
I have already mentioned the position of the
Falls, when speaking of the Straits in which
they are situated. They are about twenty-three
miles from Lake Erie, and fourteen from Onta
rio, by the road, or the windings of the river;
and fifteen from Buffalo, and twelve from Lake
Ontario in a straight line. They are situated
in lat. 13 deg. 6 min. N., and long. 2 deg. 6 min.
VV. from Washington, or79deg. 1 min. W. from
Greenwich. .
As has already been mentioned, the river at
the Kails makes a very abrupt turn, and runs al
most in a right angle with its former course; and
at the same time it is suddenly contracted from
about a mile, to one-eight of a mile in width.—
Goat Island is at the verge; and divides the
Falls into two great sections; while a smaller
islet called Prospect Island, also on the verge,
divides the smaller of these two sections into
two parts. So that there are three distinct Falls.
• That next to the New York shore, and the most
I northerly of the three, is called the Schlosser
' Fall, and is about lifty-six rods in width, and
! one hundred and sixty-seven feet in perpendic
ular descent. Piospect#Island, adjoining, is
I about ten yards in width, and the smaller or
j Central Fall, is also about ten yards. Goat Isl
' and is about eighty rods in width, at the edge,
i and the Great Crescent or Horse-shoe Fall,
! which extends from Goat Island to the C anada
■ shore, is about a quarter of a mile in a direct
line, or about half a mile following the lire of
j the curve. This latter has a perpendicular de
scent of about one hundred and fifty-four feet;
but owing to its being thirteen feet less than the
I Schlosser Fall, a much greater body of water
| passes over it; and it is to its inferior height
' that its much greater magnitude is owing,
j The water, when projected over the Falls,
does not descend perpendicularly; but, owing
to the immense velocity which it lias acquired,
before reaching the edge, it follows the general
laws of all projectiles and descends in a parabo
lic curve. Its color is not the same in every
part, but is beautifully diversified, being snowy
! white, ttimber brown, yellowish, blueish, and
green of various shades;—and at the central
! part of the Crescent Fall, where the wafer is
1 deepest, its color is n most beautiful emerald
| green. , . I
! The color varies, too, at different times. At
' ter a very heavy rain, or high wind, the waters J
1 above the falls become discolored and dirty, j
i from the impurities brought into the stream by
I the creeks on its margin; but these impurities
I add to the beauty of the Falls, unless the water
is so extensively discolored, as to deprive it of
i its green appearance, which 1 have sometimes
1 observed to be the case.
1 m ■ A r II • _ l n L /I nn<l fl’/xm
• l iiu waici laus in j -
’ such an immense height, that much of it is con
verted into spray, long before it reaches the
bottom; and clouds of the mist are continually
j rising, often to a very great height.—So high
indeed, that it tnav sometimes be seen at the
distance of fifty miles;— and of course may be ob
served at the same time by spectators who are
one hundred miles distant from each other!
This great body of water, too, falling with
I such prodigious force, is changed at the bottom
1 into a white foam, and has the appearance of a
mighty river of cream. It is not till it has been
i carried some distance down the stream,that it re
gains its green color. It is exceedingly interest
ing to watch the various phenomena of this
! foam and mist; to trace the apparent boiling of
the immense caldron of milk below, and the as
cending clouds of vapor above; and the va
rious currents and counter-currents, flowing
with great impetuosity, in all directions. The
laboring stream seems inwardly convulsed,
heaving and throbbing in dark and bubbling
| whirlpools, as if it threatened every moment to
| eject some of the mystic terrors of the deep.
1 This effect is probably produced by the re-ac
tion of the ascending water. Precipitated in
! such a great body, and to such an extiaordina
ry depth, by their own prodigious gravity, and
the force of their impulsion, and involving with
them a great quantity of fixed air, they re-as- J
cend to the surface in a struggling career, check
ed by the weight of the superincumbent water.
The immense depth from which they ascend, ,
causes the moving of the whole mass of water j
in the basin;
“ And their earth-shaking roar comes deadened
up
Like subterranean thunders.”
The quantity of water precipitated over the
Falls has been estimated by President Dwight,
at 102,093.750 tons and by Darby, at 1,672,704,- j
000 cubic feet, per hour; and by Picken, at 113,- j
510,000 gallons, or IS,524,000 cubic feet per mi- ,
nute. ^

Committee of the House of Representatives on

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.
The proceedings in the city of* Baltimore re
lative to this great work, cannot but be viewed
with peculiar and heartfelt satisfaction by t
public. That the citizens of Baltimore must
feel “ a deep interest in the completion of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal immediately,
even to the point which terminates the present
contracts, is obvious; since this ,mP™vement
opens the only avenue by which the V\est ca
be seasonably and advantageously reached to
arrest the diversion of the whole trade of tha
region into the lap of Philadelphia by which, in
conjunction with the State of Pennsylvania,
every effort has been made, and is now more
vigorously than ever prosecuted, to attain an
object, which, if effected, must be attended "ith
the most serious consequences to the city ol
Baltimore. This emporium, however, is now
. . . _) i_•mil IC
uiive iu liei nuric&i», •• - .
ecuting such plans as will render efficient tne j
works of internal improvement connected with
her prosperity, and among these the Chesa
peake and Ohio Canal to our minds holds the
first rank. Fostered and encouraged by Balti
more, it must advance rapidly to completion, |
and she will be the first to experience the mvi
gorating and enriching fruits of its tiude.
'The Aqueduct, across the Conococheague at
this place, is a splendid piece of .masonry, and ,
confers great credit upon the builder, Mi. Ed*;
ward H. Fielding. The material is from a vaiu-,
able quarry of limestone, scarcely inferior to ;
granite, found on the lands of Mr. W m. low
son at the High Hocks, from which the stone is ;
taken by the process of splitting, in blocks of
great size. They are susceptible of being dress- ,
ed with a chisel'in the same way, and with as
much nicety, as granite, as may be observed in j
the pilasters, arches, copings, and ornamental •
parts of the Aqueduct. There are three arches
in the woik of sixty feet span each, and the piers
are eight feet thick. It combines strength and
massive solidity with a very high degieof beau
ty and grace. Seated as it is in the bosom
of delightful natural scenery, with a long and
majestic curve of artificial canal extending
from either abutment, and around the great
bend of the Potomac, it forms to the eye an ex
tremcly agreeable and impressive spectacle, the
praise and admiration of every beholder. It
received the finishing stroke several weeks ag";
and we censure ourselves for not having introdu
ced it to the notice of the public before this time.
The water of the Potomac pas-mg through its
chamber, with a canal boat or two, would add,
however, very much to its appearance. These,
though it cannot boast of them now, it is ready
to accommodate at a moment’s warning.

The Mails.—The Mobile Register of the 10th

a dispute between the Post Master at one of the J
offices on the route, and the stage driver, as to
the precise spot between the office and the stage
at which the carrier is bound to receive the
mail bag from the Post master! Here is a
question of precedence truly, and until the de
licate point is settled, the public must be con-1
tent to labor under the disadvantages of tardy j
and irregular m tils.
Status of Thomas Jlffehsom—The follow,
ing article, in relation to the Statue in bronze of
Thomas Jefferson, presented to, but not accept
ed by, the Congress of the United States by
Lieut. Levy, of the United States Navy, appears
in the Globe of yesterday:
“ While on a visit to Paris, Lieut. Levy. 0f
the United States Navy, employed David, “the
Republican,” and the first of living sculptors, to
make a Colossal Statue of Thomas Jefferson
the great model of Republicanism in the only
free country under the sun.
“The statue being completed. Lieut. Levy
sent, as a present to the City of New York
a plaster model of it, which was gratefully ac’
cepted as an ornament for their City Hall: and
he brought over the Bronze Statue itself, as aa
offering to his fellow-citizens of the U. States —
As such he offered it to Congress. The oiler
was referred to a Joint Commttee of the tw0
Houses. They accepted the present thus offer
ed to the People of the United States, and sub
mitted a resoiutioh determining where it should
be placed.
ii line 111*3 was \\ \y («j*
discovered that Lieut. Levy’sadmiration was nut
confined to Mr. Jefferson, but that he was guilty
in common with the great mass of his fellow-,.’
tizens, of holding Gen. Jackson's principles and
character in very high esteem. The same r,*.
publican zeal which made him an enthusiast
with regard to Jefferson, made him an admirer of
Jackson. Although himself a holder of stock of
the United States Bank, his principles prevailed
over his Interest; and he avowed loudly a toi
dial and warm approbation of the President's
course with regard to that institution. Having
become a resident of Virginia, by the pmcli i-e
of Monticello, he made himself known there as
a warm supporter of Gen. Jack-oil's a<!nimi>.
tration—as a determined unti-Bank man. ami
opponent of all Bank men. This mav peiha; -
account for the fate of the re-o|iiti<>u lorplai
ing the statue presented by Lieut. Levy in t -
grounds of- the Capitol, and |i,r tie* discoveries,
announced in the subjoined remaiks of M -r-.
Clay and Calhoun, on the floor of the Senate,
that the statue was not M a suitable <>•.' that
it was not executed by “ a compel- t artist"
—that the motive of the donor was not an hon
est admiration of Mr. Jefferson’s chniecter and
principles, and a patriotic zeal in doing ho
mage to both, but could be nothing blit " ruulh/."
We have every reason to believe that the
Globe is acquainted with all the circum-taiicr
connected with this famous Statue, whit!, ma
ny of our readers have doubtless -eeit in the
Ilotunda of the Capitol. If so, the above arti
cle is a most complete exhibition of impudence
and assurance. The rejection of the Statue
was placed on proper and delicate grounds, in
the public debate which occurred in tin- Senate
on the subject. Theprivutc circumstances con
nected with its purchase, as we have heard,
could not be stated consistently with the dignity
of that body. If the current rumors relative to |
the procuring and presentation of this Statue he
correct, there is not .in American living who
would not blush to see it in the Capitol of the
Republic. Lieutenant Levy's! Statue of Jeffer
son, brought from France! quotha! M ho lu<
not heard all about it?
Ahhival Extkaurdi.vaky.—The York Com
mercial announces the arrival in that city of
George Thompson!—called, in the Anti-Slavery
Report, the “ advocate of the British slave.-.'
who has come to “ our shores to devote hisn<>
ble energies to the same cause!" It is under
stood that, at the instance of certain fanatic- i
this country, he has been sent on a mi--ion to
the “everlasting heathens” of America, to mi

we trust will prove useful to him, and which.if
he has a particle of wisdom or prudence, vi.l
induce him either to abandon at once the object
of his mission, and travel amongst us unobtru
sively, as a private gentleman, or embark in tk
first packet on his return to England. The in
cident referred to is this:— On Saturday morn

the name of the stranger, or in any manner l«
indicate the nature or character of his piir-ti;t«
Accordingly, on the evening of that day, tk
gentleman,With his lady, children, and servant,
came to the hotel, and it was -omi a sect tain* <1
that they were none others than Geoige Tliott'l'
son and his family. The fact was soon buzz*'"
about, and occasioned no small stir among Ik
inmates of the hotel, numbering near oneM*
