The Murder. (From the Times and Seasons } Gun. Joseru Surru, who was murdered in cool blood, in Carthage Jail, on Thursday, the 27th day of June, was one of the best men that ever lived on the earth. The work he hag thus far performed, towards establizhing pure religion, and preparing the way for the great gatheriug of Israel, in the short space of twenty years since the time when the angel of the Lord made known, his mission and gave him power to move the cause of Zion, +xeved any thing of the kind on record. Without , Without means and without experience, he has met a learned world; a rich century; a hard hearted, wicked, and adulterous generation, with truth that could not be resisted ; facts that could not be disproved; revelations, whose spirit had so much God in them that the servants of the Lord could uot be guinsaid or resis ed, but like the rays of light from the sun, they have tuged every thing they lit upon, with a lustre and livery which fas animated, quickened and adorned. The pages of Gea Smith’s hiner, though his enemies never ceased to persecute him and hunt for offences against him, are as uurullied as virgia snow ; on about fifty prosecutions for supposed cri- minal offences, he came out of the legal fire, lieat- ed like Nebuchadnezzar’s turnace, seven tunes iter than it Was wont to be, without the smell ot fire, or a thread of his garments scorched His toes of the world and enemies ot his own house- hold, who have sought occasions against him, order, secretly te deprive him of his life, because goodness, greatuess acd glory exceeded theirs, have a poor excuse to offer the world, fr shedding his innocent blood ; and no apvlogy to muke to the Judge of all the earth, at the day ef judgment. They have murdered him because they feared his righteousness : lis eazy, good natured way, allowing every one was honest, drew around him hypocrites, wicked and mean mea, with the virtuous, and in the hour of trouble, or trial, when the wheat was cleansed by water, the light kernels and smut rose upon the top of the water and had to be poured off, thit the residue might be clean, or to be still plainer, when they weat through the machine for cleansing the grain, the chaff, light grain and sinut were biewn off among the rubbish. varie False brethren, or to call them by their right name, “ apostates,” have retarded the work more, and combined more influence to rob him of life, than all Christendom: for they, having mingled in his greatness, knew where and when to take ad- vantage of his weakness, Their triumph, how- ever, is one that disgrace their state and nation, ruins them in time and in eternity. They cannot out grow it: they caunot out live it: and they cannot out die it: from him that winked at it, 10 him that shot the fatal ball, wherever there is mo- ral honesty, humanity, love et life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, there the breath of iudigna- tion, the whisper of “ those inurders”—the story of mobocracy and the vengeance of Gud, will hannt the whole gang and their offspring and abet- tora with a fury like Milton’s gates of hell— “« —— -grating harsh thunder.” In thus deecanting upon the fo of General Joseph = mith and the cowardly disgrace of his as- sassing, let his noble minded brother Hyrum have no lees honor shown him: he lived so far beyond the ordinary walk of man, that even the tongue of the vilest slunderer could not touch his reputation. He lived ge ae and he died godly, and his murder- ere will yet have to confess that ic would have been better for them to have a mill-stone tied to them, and they cast into the depths of the sea, and remain there while eternity goes and eternity comes, than te have robbed that noble man ot heaven, of his life. If there be such a thing as the Greatest and least crimes, among the archives of the better world, the wiltul murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith will be first and worst, without for- &ivenese in this world or the world to come ; ** for no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” The Savior said, wo unto the world because of offences, but offences must needs come ; but wo unto him by whom they come! Prophets have been sent, according to the sacred history, which all enlightened nations use as a guide of iworality here, or for a rule to obtain heaven hereulter, to instruct and lead the people according to the pure purposes of God, and yet from Cain, down to two or three huncred Americans, Illinoians, Mi-souri- ane, Christians, even treemen, the lives of mostly all these good men, the servauts of God, not omi- ting his own Son, have been taken from them by those who professed to be the most wise, enlight- ened, intelligent, and religious, (that is nationally) that were on tie earth when the hellish deeds were done. But-what has the next generation said? Ah! time, thou art older and abler to tell the story, than they that did the solemn act. No wonder the heathen nations will be God’s in the cay of his power: they have not killed the pro- phets, - When General Smith went to Carthage just as the cavalry met him for the purpose of obtaining the ** State Arms,” he said to a friend, “I am going like a lamb to the slaugh’er; but 1 am calm as 4 summer’s morning ; [ have a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward all men: I shall die innocent.” Now ye great men who boust of great wiedom, what think ye of the prophet’s last prediction? How glorious! How mild! How wod-like! No wonder the sympathies of all honest men are kindled in his behalf: the goodness of his deeds merit them. The want of a perfect know- ledge of the servants of God, of the Son of God, in all El baat down to this last, horrid, heart-sickeving butchery of those two unoffending American free- men, must have been the en first cause of taking life contrary to the law of God or man. Leaving religion out of the case, where is the lover of his country, und his posterity, that does not condemn such an outrageous murder, and will not lend all his powers, energies and influence to bring the offenders to justice end judgement? Every good man will do it when he rem-inbers, that these two innocent men were fined in jail for a sup- posed crime, deprived of any weapons to defend themeelves : had the pledyed faitn of the State of Iilinoie, by Gov Ford, for their protection, and were then shot to death, while, with uplifted hands they gave such signs of distress as would have com manded the interposition and benevolence of sa- vages ur pagans. They were both Masons in good standing. Ye brethren of “the mystic tie” what think ye! Where is our good Master Joseph and Hyrum? Is there a pagan, heathen, or eavage na- tion on the glebe that would not be moveu on this occasion, as the trees of the forest are moved by a mighty wind? Joseph’s last exclamation was, “ O Lord my God !” , If one of these murderers, their abettors or ac- cessories before or after the fact, are suffered to cumber the earth, without beingdealt with accord- ing to Jaw, what is life worth, und what is the be- netit of jawe? and more than all, what is the use of institutions which savages would honor, where ci- vilized beings murder without cause or provocation? Wiltthe Americans look over the vast concerns that must, sooner or later, touch their welfare at home and abroad, and exult or diegrace them among the kingdoms of the great family of man, and learn whether anarchy, mobbery, and butchery are nai swiftly harrying the constituted authorities of our country into irretrevable ruin, while the inhabi- tants of the Jand must sink into wretchednese, bloodshed, revenge and wo! Elder John Taylor, and Dr. Willard Richards who were in the jail at the time, innocently, as friends of these men, have only to thank God that their lives were spared. Elder Taylor was wounded with four bullets, and a fitth ball, which had it not been for his watch in his left vest pock et, would have passed into his vitals and destroy. ed his life mstantly. This memorable and ver valuable watch saved his life, and will remain with ite hands permanently pointing to ‘5 o’cleck, 16 minutes and 26 seconds” as the moment when so email a machine interposed between time and eter- nity. Dr. Richards was not wounded by a single bal though one paseed so near hisear as to leave a k.” Lt such scenes do not awaken the best feelings of treemen for personal saf ty, what will? we pause! solemnly pause for the opinion of mil- lions, because all are interested: life is the laet boon—all is blank without it, death blots the rest —and where 1s man? i ‘To conclude, it the good people ef our mon country, and our common world, do not arise with a union of feeling aud energy to help wash off the blood of these two innocent men, from Hancock Lam from the plighted faith of Illi- nois: from the boasted and wide spreading fame of the United States, and trom the dignity of our globe; then let all but the righteous be smitten with a curse :—but methinks I see a ‘‘union of all honest men,” aside from religion, stand forth to magnify the law, who will never rest till justice and judgment have made the offen ers, abettors and accessories, whether apostates, officers, or mere men, atone for the innocent blood ot Joseph and Hyram S:nith.

Mr. Campbell was one of the greatest of that cluster of poets—now eotlly reduced by death and me !—who appeared at the commencement ot the present century, while the loss of Burns was yetrecent, and Cowper was just disappearing from ihe scene. At that period the revolutionary war with France, in connection with other circumstau- ces, communicated a strong impulse and energy to the original literature of England. The German drama and works of imagination were translated, and found many admirers in this coun-ry ; Shoks peare aod the vider writers were more generally tead; and we rude, martial, and chivalrous bui- lads of Scotland were eagerly colieeted and imita- ted. At that surring time the poetry of Campueli came forth, like a calm and steady light in # lurid and troubled atmosphere. He had partuken of the prevalent enthusiasin, but it was in senument and feeling, notin style. His tuste was formed from admiration and study of the classics, and his polished versification was modelled atter that of Pope and Goldsmith. His ¢loquent and harmo- nious numbers seemed to move, like Miulton’s spirits, “Tn perfect phalanx, to the Dorian mood Of flutes and soft recorders.” They presented vivid pictures ef war, love, gentle and batural pathos, domestic tenderness, aud re- fiaed imagination. 1a his apostrophes to truth and freedom, ‘is indignant denunciation of the paru- tion of Poland, and his war-odes (which speedily followed the publication of The Pleasures ot Hope,”) his Mariners of England, Battle of the Baltic, and Hohenlinden—Campbell reached the highest elevation of lyrical and impetuous’ verse. Centuries may elapse ere such strains be heard again—lifting up the hearts of a whole nation, and sanciilying, ws it were, the sacrifices and triumphs of batde. Genius of a high order can never be without influence ona people, whether exercised 1m true or fictitious compositon—in history, philoso- vhy, orromance. But when its whole strengih ts put torth in times ot inal and danger, in the form uf chort concentrated chorts, embodying national feeltugs and patrivtic seuuments, and at the same ime appealing to the purest and most exalted syin- pathies of our nature, its fects are universal and Uresisuble. The poev’s thoughts and words be come ideutified with the history and even the exis. tence of the uation. _ We may be pardoned, now that he is no more, for dwelling with some minuteness on the circum- stances of Mr. Campvell's lie. The numerous as: sociations connected with his beavtful poetry, which most of the present generation have read in their youth—the pride we feel im his fame asa couutryman—and the attachment we felt towarde him as 4 man—ull seem to urge the offering of some tribute to his memory. A durable and tittung me morial will soon, we trust, be raised by worthy hands; but at the present moment we may, per- haps, like the Roman soldier at the grave of bir generai, be a lowed to collect some fragments tur the funeral pile, bell {homas Campbell was born at Glasgow on the 27h ot July, 1777. His father, a merchant, and highly accomplished man, was in advanced years, (exactly of the saine age at which the poet died,) when hia distinguished son was born, and he hav experienced some reverses of fortune. Thomat was the shan ti of ten children, and wae named after Dr Reid, the celebrated metaphysician, who wasa friend of his father. At the age of thirteen, (by which time he bad begun to write verees,) he was entered of Glasgow College, and the first year he gained a bursary, over a competitor nearly twice his own age, for his proneliney in Latin. He obtained several prizes for Greék exercises; and indeed, became so distinguished as a Gre- cian, that the other students at last declined to compete with him. On presenting him with a prize, for a version of the ‘¢ lo of Aris ‘ophanee, Professor Young publicly stated, that tt was the best translation which had ever been offered at the University. Some of these classicul »xercses will be found published in his works. After quitting coliege, at the age of nineteen, Campbell might be said to be ‘unfiued with an aim” in life. He thought of the church and of the law as a profession, but adopted neither. He lived a twelvemonth in Argyleshire on the banks of Loch Goil; and was also for some time ()robably during his college vacations) tutor in a family in the Island of Mull, where the faverite scenes of hia poetical musings and wanderings are stil] pointed out. The romantic features and solitude of the West Highlands must have nursed his poeti- cal reveries, and he has mentioned the delight with which he used to listen, at the distance of many leagues to the sound of the whirlpool of Corrybrechtan. ‘* When the weather is calm,” he says, ‘‘ and the adjacent sea scarcely heard on these picturesque shores, the sonnd of the vortex, which is like the sound of innumerable chariots, creates a magnificent and fine effect.” His love of Hishland scenery, and acquaintance with all its forme never left hi ‘They run, like a native vein, through the classic marble of his verse, and may be seen even in his description of the exotic splendor and luxuriance of Peunsylvania. Feudal recollec- tions and feelings were also blendedwith his admira- tion of the West Highlands. His grandfather, Mr. Campbell of Kernan, wasa Highland | ied pro- bablyto the ancient family of the chief; and notwith- standing the poet’s staunch Whigism, he cherished this family pride and clannish attachment. In wri- ting to a friend in 1840, respecting the launch of a man-of-war at Chatham, at which he was present he mentioned that none of the compliments pai him on that occasion touched him 80 deeply as the circumstance of the band of two regiments striking up “The Campbell’s ure Coming,” as he entered the dock yard. From Argyleshire the poet removed to Edinburgh, and there, while engaged in private teaching, and living in Alison Square, he comple- ted “The Pleasures of Hope.” Th ublished in April, 1798, Famoue, and he obtained admi tl literary circles of Edinburgh, of which Dugald Stewart, Henry Mackenzie, and Pla fair, were the acknowledged chiefs, and Jeffrey, rougham, Syd- ney Smith, &c., the By she grace and ornament. From the pve of his Wye and other sources, Mr. Campbell was enabled to gratify his ardent de- sire to visit the States of Germany. In the year 1800 he sailed trom Leith to Hamburg, and thence repaired totheseatof war in Bavaria, in order, as he said, “to see human nature exhibited in its most dreadful attitude.” He witnessed, from the walls of a monastery, the battle of Hohenlinden, in which the French, under the command of Moreau, defeated the Austrians. Some particular scenes which came before him at this time were rather overcharged, he said, ‘with that degree of the ter- rific which oversteps the sublime; and I own,” he adds, “my flesh yet creeps at the recollection of spring Waggons and hogpitals; but the sight of In k Idstadt in ruiue, and Hohenlinden covered with ire, seven miles in circumference, were specta nevet to be forgotten.” His glorious lyric of henlindew has immortalized his impressions of the battle. Mr, Campbell wae at Ratisbon when the city was token by the French, but the latter, con- ceiving that @ poet was a harmlees sort of traveller, | made no attempt to detain him. On the contrary, RNING, AUGUST 11, 1844. r touched with his young en- thusiasm, the officers eatertuined him at the mess tables of the gdiflerent brigades, and gave hima admiring iis genius, ; bass that allowed him to proceed unmolested threugh the French army. He was afterwards plundered of nearly all his money, books and clothes, while attempting to pass over into Italy by the Tyrol, He was absent about a twelve-month, partof which was employed in learning Germanand reue wing hisGreek studies, under Professor Hayne. On returning to Hamburg, Mr. Campbell became acquainted with sume ot the expatriated leaders o1 the Irish rebellion, who bad taken refuge ther: and, trom frequenting their society, he was su ected of being a spy! He wrote his * Exile of crn,” and ** Ye Matin rs of England,” at Ham- burg. At length, in a tew wevks, he took his assage for Leith. Another adventure, however, betel him, and drove him out of his course. ‘the veasel was chased by a Danish privateer, and put in at Yarmouth. ‘The poet was then so neer London, that he could not resist paying a visit toil. He was not provided with # single introduction ; but his hi- terary celebrity procured him ers 10 the society he most coveted and valued. Sir James Macintosh, then con-picueus trom his recent reply to Burke, became his cicerone ; and in a private letter, pub- lished by Washington Irving, Mr. Campbell this sketches his new associates :— “ Macintosh, the Vindicw Gallic, was_ partic larly attentive to me, and took me with him to b coavivial parties at the King of Clubs—a place d dicated to the meetings ot the reigning wits of Lon- don—and, in fuct, a lineal descendaut of the John- son, Burke, and Goldsmith society, con-tituted tor literary conversations. The dining-table of these knights of titerature was an arenacf very keen conversational rivalehip, maintained, to be sure, with pertect good nature, but in which the gladia- tors coutended as hardly as ever the French and Austrians, in the scenes [ had just witnersed. Much, however, as the wit and erudition ot these men pleases ao auditor at the first or second visit, this trial of minds becomes at last fatiguing, be- cause it is unnatural and uneatistactory. kvery one of these brilliants goes there to shine—for con- versational powers are so much the rage in London, that no reputation is higher than his who exhibits them. Where every one tries to instruct, there is in tact but little instruction—wit, paradox, eccen- tricity, even absurdity, if delivered rapidly and fa- cetiously, takes priority in these societies, of sound reasoning and delicate taste. I have watched sometimes the devious tude of conversation, guided by accidental associations, turning from to- vic to topic, and satislactory apon none. What has one learned ? has been my general question. ‘The mind, ic 1s true, is electrified and quickened, and the spirits finely exhilerated, but one grand fault per- vades the whole instituuon ; their inquiries are de- sultory, and all improvementsto be reaped must be accidental.” Mr. Campbell next repaired to Edinburgh, and the sage suthorities of that place, as he used to re- late with much humor, subjected him to a private examination, a8 a suspected spy aud associate of the Irish rebels, Having satisfied the ‘ most un- cient and quiet”? Dogberries of the city that he had “‘allegian ze in him,” the author of “Ye Mariners of England” wae not further molested, und he continued to reside for about a twelvemonth in Lea 4) during which time he wrote his ‘* Lo- chiel’s Warning” and other pieces. His views were now turned wholly to literature, and findin that London was the grand mart for intellectua exertion, he left Scotland, and after stopping some time in London, fixed his residence in the beauti- ful village of Sydenham, in Kent, about seven miles from the metropolis. He labored in obscure compilations fo. the booksellers—in writing occa- sionally for the daily press, the Edinburgh Ency- clopadia, and other periodical works. In 186, through the influence of Charles James Fox, he obtained a small government pension—£187 per annum—which he enjoyed till his death. ‘ Early in life, in the year 1803, he married a Scottish lady, Mies sinclair, of Greenock, by whom he had two sons. une of these, a youth of high promise, died, and the other became go de- ranged in intellect that it was found necessary to contine him (where he still remains) in a private asylum. His wife died (also under circumetances of mental alienation) about the year 1830. These repeated afflictions, falling on one so keenly sensi- tive and susceptible of every impression, clouded the evening of his days, aud threw him looge as it were, on the world without any domestic stay, and with shattered health and spirits. In private so. ciety Mr. Campbell was frank and confiding, and tull of anecdote. In his convereation, as in his writings, he was concise and poiuted in expression, and he-was an attentive and shrewd observer ot men and manners As his strength declined the softer and more amiable traits of his character were brought more fully into view, and nothing could exceed his almost feminine tenderness and goudness of heart. The poetical fame of Camp- bell is safe from all assaults. Hud he not been coudemned through many of what should have been the most valuable years of his life, to mental urudgery and task-work (by which bis health was seriously impaired, and his existence long embit- tered,) he might have left works of greater com- pass und extent, and more complete than any which he accomplished. But if he did not surprise with large a uguiticent designs, or bold origi- nality of invention, he ertected what he planned, and left bebind him finished specimens ot exce} fence. Posterity will assuredly preserve his classic temple, of small but delicate proportions, when more cumbrous and ambitious structures ure lett to neglect and ruin. We may confiden ly predict that no future revolutions of tarte, oreuccttsion of au- thors, will evergrender obsolet~ his two principal poems, or eflace one a ee oe those lesser pro- ductions in which he has Gaited the lotuest and finest conceptions with a megicul melody aud eweetness of vervification, and an unrivalled felici- ty of imagery and express'on.

James Gorvon Bennett, Eso.— Dear Sir—la my last, which must have been a terrible time on the way—curse those friends who volunteer to take letters, and hardly ever deliver them at the proper time—I mentioned that the Governor General had not then formed an acmini- stration. That long-looked for event has not yet occurred, and ‘here is no prodability of 113 taking place for some time to come. I begin to fancy that His Excellency is entirely discouraged and di-appointed, and will speedily return home with- out having accomplished any thing. Rumors are abundant, but as you see them in our papers every day, and as 1 do not believe one of them, there is no use in my giving you a second edition of euch trash. We have now been about eight months without a constitutional government, «nu God only knows when we will return to it, We are only colenists however, and must “grin aud beur 1.” 1 promised in my last to give you a short sketch of a pleasure excursion .hat went trom this ploce ie packeu’s Harbor on the 25th ult. As there te but litue of consequence tranepiring in Canads at ihe present moment, the temporary calm that precedes the storm, | may as weil dose, ‘The excurrion in question was got up ior the benefit of the Meihe~ at Sunday Schoo), and is a pian of rating he wind that is sdopted by several of our public insu tutions every summer. We leit Kingston on Thursday, the 25th ult. at nine o’clock, on board the Princess Koyal, well known a8 one of the most maguificen! sieaners on ourinland water The party, consistirg of ubout one hundred and filly, were in the highest spirits, and we soon sped,rayidly on our way ‘he beau- tiful and glissy waters of Cntario, not yet aroused from its slumber, bore on its bose innuny retle cratt, of every size, from the the tny conve, pod- dled by some truant urchin, to the s:upenders steamer, carrying her load of living fiemh to the “fur-wes',” aod the Jess commanding, though equally useful schooner, waiting jor a breeze to benr her on her way ip the puuits of con merce, The ecenery of Kingston and its neighboilwod, al- ways maguificent, seemed on this occation tu have hew charms, and nature spread her bevuies on every hand, lar ws the eye could reach. As we sped out into the channel, the St. Lawrence, with its thousand islands, the frowning buitlements of Fort Henry, the distant view of the town, ord the islands in 18 vicinity presented a covp dail os fascinating to the eye as ever midsummer eun Cost his beams upon, ae, at twelve oc uk we reached our destination. The villege of Sacket's Harbor is situn'ed nearly opposite Kingston, die- taut about thirty-five miles, and is, on the whole a picturerque litte place, It has made bute Improvement for a number of years, in fact since the last war. At that time it was the depot of stores for both your army and navy, and whilet hostilities lasted Sacket’s Harbor fourished.— It now presents the appearance of 4 smal! coun- try village, and seems as it wailing for a return of the horrors of war to give it a fresh start. 1 hope sincerely that it will ever require the impetus of such a trade to arouse its energies. luring the war of 1812-14, this was the most important fort, with the exception of Niagara, on the luke, though what natural facilities it possesses 1 am unsble 10 perceive. The coast is very low, aud altogeiber incapeble of being placed ina potition of cetence, and the fort, ifa mere mound of earth deserves such a name, is as miserable a place as ever unfor- tunate mortal had to defend. For my part, 1 would infinitely prefer a trusty rifle and good uee for shelter—always provided, there were ways and means for * making tracks” when the contest be- came serious—to such a * pent up Uuca,” no mat- ter how good a front it presented. The citizens of Sackett’s Harbor are the most friendly that I have yet had the good fortune to come across. No sooner hud our boat touched the whart than we were surrounded by smiling and heppy taces apx- lous to welcome their neighbors “from Can- ada,” most of whom they had never seen before, and vieing which should show us the most hospitality and kindness We Jand- ed, and proceeded from the steamer to the Methodist church, where a number of addretees and mutual congratulations were delivered by geu- Uemen trom both sides of the line. At the close of these proceedings we separated—eome to call on acquaintances, whom they had almost forgovien ; others to visit the barracks; some aguin to buy “notions” to take home to their youngsters, and not a few, myeelf amongst the number, waiching the preparation of dinner with more anxiety than one would all the ** lions” that were to be seen in the place. After partaking ot an excell nt dinner at Roov’s Hotei, which, by the way, | can cor- dialiy recommend to your readers, | proceeded to the barracks, having received an invitation fiom the officer in command. The barreck squure 1s very tastefully planned, and is far beiore any of the squares in Kingston The meu are generally a fine specimen of the soldiers, but in their movements aud appearance, are inferior to the British soldiers, and remind me toreibly of our militia companies during the late rebellion. I dare say they have vone of that daily joutine end parade what the military have on this side. Through the kindness of the commandant, | was cunduet- ed through the whole department, and was much flattered at the kindness and attention shown toa stranger: tur different, | ussure you, would be the reception of an American by our 1ec- coated genity. A line-of-battle ship on the siocks, was the next object of attraction. This vessel wie got ready for launching just as peace was declared, atthe clore of the last war, and bas remeived in the same condiiin ever since. She is of evor- mous size, though I bave forgotten the vumber of guns for which she is pierced, and presented to my unsophisucated eye ike appearance ut a huge in- lernal machine, waiting tor ihe proper memento sally forth trom her retreat, and belch out her thuuder and destruction on every haud She iw now perfectly harmless, however; time, the migh- ty destroyer of all things, has done his work most effectually, and the vessel that would in the autumn of 1812, had not peace been aeclared, have carried death and desolation to many a fireside, is now roving away, and to- tally unable to float on her destined element, 1 hope that it will be Jong ere either nation wail re- quire another of these ** wooden walls” tor 4 lhe purpose. Having satisfied my curiosity in the exa- ation of this leviathan, I wended my way through the villoge, where T had the plearure ct meeting an old companion whem | hed not seen for many years, In fecounting our echo boy doys and boyhood scrapes, time passed away repdiy, ll the “last beli” warned me that 1 must euiber get quickly to the steamer, or wait for the bunt of the next day.

Oa our departure we were cheered very wainily by the mulutude assembled on the shore, which compliment was as heartily returned ov our part, and we departed on our way homeward.
