Thou was lovlier than the roses
In their prime';
Thy voice excelled the closes -

Thy heart was as a river.
• Without a main,
Would I had loved thee never

But fairest, coldest, wonder !
Thyglorioue clay
'Lieth the cold sod under--,
Alas the day!
And it boons not to remember
Thy disdain—
To quicken love's pale ember,

The lilies of the valley
' By young groves weep,
The daisies love to daily
Where maidens sleep t
May their-bloom, in beauty vying,
Never wane
Where thy earthly part is lying, =

When Captain Pottinger arrived in India, he
found his friend of other days quite at home, en•
gaged in fulfilling the ;duties of his situation with
zeal and fidelity. The course laid down by him,
on first receiving , his appointment; he was now
dilligently pursuing, and he was pleased to know
that he was but folliming the precepts laid down
by bis respected father while holding the - same re
sponsible offiCe.. Already was he in possession of
richesivast as he could desire, and the treasures of
India, the fineries of Cashmere, and of Thibet, and
of Persia, were not wanting to furnish and deco.
rate the palace of the British governor. Trains of
attendants clad in glittering liveries, respectfully
awaited his commands, and elephants and saddle
horses, richly caparisoned in trappings of, the
most exquisite workmanship, were his also: Sur
rounded by this princely = magnificence, and en•
trusted with the supreme power of 'the honorable

the governar's , happiness complete. In his do•

of his ambition, until the Bengal government had
conferred on bim,tha highest mark of distinction
it was in - their Timer to give, and the sing of
England conferred on him the honor of knighthood.
Immediately after the arrival' of Capt. Pottinger
in India, he had an interview with Sir William,
when, after talking of gope by and former
friendship, the subject tinried to the ; old theme,
and Sir William grew `eloquent, as he dwelt on
that portion of it which related to the extension
of Christ's kingdom -over all the - nations of -the
earth."
Wherever the. British flag is reared, to the
breeze," , riaid be, the English langudge will be
learned, and as the Bible is one of our principal
class books, Claristianity, as a natural consequence,
will follow its' introduction. Civilization once
begun must be progressive in its character, and
the people will, soon, thirst for our national pros
perity, the arts, sciences, literature, eommerce and
renown. Thus the church of the I t avizia Got,-
shall be plant.ed wherever a British soldier or sailor
tread's . ; so that soon every nation on the earth
may rejoice in the same bleseed hope that we now
enjoy."
have been thinking over your arguments
often, Sir William," said•the captain, "but .I must
candidly confess thitt I cannot view them in the
same light that you do. In fact, I believe that
nationalreligion perished with the Jews, and from
.the day when free and full salvation was offered
to all - men, oncondition of true repentance and a
cessation from• evil; a new era was begun; in
short, that suffering saints on earth shall be tri
- umphant ones in . Heaven."
"Mark, then, what I haqe to say," said Sir Wil-
liam. Miicontinent flows the fourth river
of. Eden—the river- Euphrates. Here, on holy
ground, where, 'in all probability, the Almighty
once condescended to hold conversation with man
we, who were born on the most distant of , the
isles, can meet to worship the Eternal,.under the
safe protection of a British flag! Against China,
an expedition has been fitted out, under the com
mand of your brother, Sir Ifenery, which, if suc
cessful, shall open the way for the spread of the
gospel, and the religion of Jehovah shall be taught
arriongst unknown millions who:are now wholly
given to idolatry.. Yes, two yeara shall not, elapse
until christianity and civilization, hand in hand,
as twin sisters, shall be planted in the heart 41 that
nneiplored country, and'millions of people, with
whose language and 'usages -we , are in no wise
acquainted at present, shall thus be taught to form
an integral part ; of that body which shall one day
fill the earth from shore to shore, when caste,.and
color, and sect, and party shall be forgotten for
ever. Even now, the, roar of our cannon is heard
at Mount Candle' Judales Lion . - is floating from
the.highest turret of St. Jean D'Acre. Syria, and
indeed all 'Asia, will soon be at our feet, and the
scene of our Saviour's life and aufferinge, of his
death and triumphant ascension, will be, by our
means, restored to the rightful;owners thereof, the
despised and persecuted descendants of Jacob;!for
the Lord will gather: them from the north Country,
and from all the countries whither He •had driven
them, and they - shall return and dwell in their own
land. Then'ahall the: wilderness and the solitary
plaee rejoice for them, and the desert shall rejoice
'and blossom'as the rose. The t.hunderings of Si
nai shall:be changed for the whisperings of Moriah,
and the seed of the house of Israel shall again en
ter into his gates with thanksgiving and come into
his courts with'a,song. -Zion shall be re-builded,
and the glory of - the Lord shall re-appear. The

.41 confess, air William,"-said Capt. Pottinger,
"that yon have made outs pretty clear case; and
.
llow,that you have So far christianized the world,
will, you just Why you have7been so ur•
successful in India?"
" Our efforts here, in; the . missionary cause, have
been retarded; by two'causes of momentous 'im
portance," said Sir William. "One is, that the
people of this vast country speak thirty-three dif-
ferent languages. To translate the Scriptures into
each and all of them, would be a work of much
hard study and toil. Already portions of it are
published in several of the most popular dialects,
and at present we are endeavoring to translate the
whple Bible into the language of the' Punjaub.
When this work is completed, we will have a
powerful auxiliary in promoting the good work,
and our cause shall run, and not tarry. The other
reason is, that the natives are unanimous in wor
shipping Trostsurrarpr, a false god, to whom they
have built temples, and whose priests, or Brahmins
they supply with every thing iheir covetous hearts
candesire, Once a year, this idol is drawn about
on a triumphal car, and a sacrifice is offered to
him of slaughtered human beings, as nothing, say
the BrahMins, -will appease his wrath, or please
him but human blood. On this occasion, and
while the worshippers of the idol are dancing
about it FiFn frantic joy, the British troops are called
out in full uniform, and, sorry am I to inform you,
they are compelled to give the general salute,
('Present came) before the woaden image. This
aequiesence in idolatrous practices, this winking
at image worship, this forgetfulness of God,—this
is the foul blot which will ultimately ruin our
cause here, and draw down anger from the skies
on our devoted heads. Petition after petition have
we forwaried to England—for every man in the
army is averse to the usage—that our feelings may
be respected, but our prayers are disregarded, and
the men are still ,compelled to the humiliating
duty thus enforced upon them."
I was aware of this matter, before I left Eog
land," said the captain, "but I had hoped that ere
this the difficulty had been removed. Not only
did the laity generally, and the clergy universally
speak out against this idolatrous practice, but front
every kirk in' Scotland, and from most churches
in England and Ireland, petitions have been for
warded to Parliament,teeming with just indigna
tion against all who would dare to advocate such
an unholy measure as that Christian soldiers
should be compelled to pay homage to a graven
image."
"I am glad to hear it, Captain. The usage is
kept up by a few rich nabobs who have large for
tunes at stake, and they wish to live on terms of
amity with the natives, so long as it can cost
only the consciences of a few thousand soldiers.
The day draws nigh, however, when the heariy
hand of a jealous God will punish for the iniquity.
Evil will sit brooding around us, and a righteous
and just judgment will be strewn on all who par
ticipate in the idolatry."
CHAPTZH IV
The Army beyond the Indus—Reverses—Enthusiasm
The history of our hero and his companions in
arms, embraces so many spirit-stirring scenes, so
much of- interest and instruction, that we, have
been tempted to wander, in a great degree from
the thread of the narrative more especially before
our notice. But while we confess thus much, we
must also state that the limits we have allowed
for the present production will not permit us fur
ther to trespass upon his biography than briefly to
glance at the closing period of his remarkable ca
reer. We dare, not trust ours,..lves with the rela
tion of the policy which prompted the British
Government to order their army to pass the In
dus. Be it sufficient to state,that troubles having
arisen in the Aflghan territory, Dost Mahommed,
the Sikh chief, was under the necessity of placing
himself under the protection of the British Envoy,
Sir William Hay MeNaughten, and the army re
_
ceived orders to enter, upon and hectipy'this-whnle
vast region of 'Afghanistan, until certain terms
were conceded to the lawful authority. Sir Robert
Sale, Generals Pollock, and , Elphinsfone;
Major Pottinger, and many other distinguished
officers were attached to the invading army, which
so
_soon and so well fulfilled the duty devolving
on it. Conquest after conquest was obtained by
their valor. Itwas in vain that the Sikh warriors
led on their savage hordes in the fiercest, most
brutal form of battle array. Not these, nor the
cloud-capt mountain, nor the mighty Indus could
arrest or impede the progress of British enthusi
asm. Onward; still onward, they pressed in their
work of subjugation, until the whole dominion of
the Affghans acknowledged themselves subject to
Great Britain. Yet the idol Juggernaut was still
worshipped; the worshippers were yet unpunished.
God had not spoken in wrath; his vengeance was
not yet poured out in fury. National sins ever
bring down national chastisement, and so it was
in the present instance.
The successes of the army of occupation were
so many and so glorious that the flush of triumph
atilt animated the countenances and bespread the
brows of the conquerors, when it was willed on
high that the tragic act should terminate, and now,
all at:once, the change came, and the triumphant
victors; who had stalked over the land in pomp
and pride, began to feel reverses of no ordinary
description. Disease was sent amongst them, and
the icy, hand of inexorable death seized hundreds
of the bravest of the brave, and prostrated them in
dust: Hunger, and all the horrors of an, ignoble
defeat stared the survivors in the face, and prepiit
rations - were at length Made for securing an igno
minicais bat safe retreat.: Brave men sickened at
the bare idea of the dreadful disaster which evi
dently awaited them, and even the ehthusiasm of
Sir William McNaughtea was required to sustain
the spirits of his brother officers on that occasion.
Niver, for a moment did his thoughts waver from
the high and holy principles which it was his duty
to cherish, and the 'opinions he had advanced and,
maintained hitherto, were now, mare than ever
brought before the attention of his brothers on this
olorn expedition.
This ability, and zeal bad the desired effect, for
those who had previously counted their lives as a
useless burthen, arose from their atupour, and the
camp once more bore all the stirring appearance
of active preparations for an advance.
'Unfortunately at this juncture General Elphin
stone, became so much indisposed that removal
would have been fatal in its consequences, and
there was no alternative, but to await his conva
lescence. Now, l it was, that the Envoy had to
put forth his most strenous, efforts to revive hope
in the breasts oihis comrades. Several officers,
from the North 'of Ireland;paying him a visit, in
his tent one evening, the conversation turned upon
the scenes of other days;and their native land.

''Who are the individuals that will be selected,

venture on opinion, that New England will , present

whom Old Zach's favors will be showered? 'Rumor

from Hanisburgh, gives:some strange revelations, in
relation to the corruptions of the Executive of Penn

the two whig papers at that place, the Intelligencer

under the editorial charge of his brother, Mr. Jame

A Sketch of Loulg Napoleon,
The news of the election of Louis Napoleon to
the Presidency of the French Republic will natur
ally excite some curosity in regard to his history
and public character. Hitherto he has only been
known through the foolish affairs at Strasburg and
Boulogne, -his published works, notwithstanding
the merits claimed for them by his adherents,hav
ing failed to enlarge his reputation. His life has,
nevertheless, been somewhat eventful, and he does
not lack the advantage of varied fortune and severe
experience. ViThether be has profited remains, to
be seen. From such hasty materials as we could
procure, we have arranged for the Tribune the fol
lowing brief notice of his history.
Charles Louis Napoleon, son of Louis, Ex-King
of Holland, was born in Patill on the 20th of April
IsRik His god ~parents were , the Emperor and
Maria 'Letitia, eat - aiiiinthigthilfoorol ble wad
an especill (overact of the, fender. 'On the return
of Napolecur-frOetliiii, be stood beside ldm on
the-Chichp de Mars, and wino embraced by him
for the fist time, at blalmaison, the young Louis
then a boy of seven years, wished to follow him at
all hazards. When the tamily'wasbaitiihed from
France, hip mother removed tir - Ausburg, where he
received a German edudation: He was af
terward taken to Switzerland,'where be.obtained
the right of citizenship and commenced a course
of military studies. After the July... Revolution,
by which he was a second time proscribed . -from
France, he visited Italy in company with his broth
-
er, and in 1831 took part in u popular insurrec
tion against the Pope. This movement failed, but
be succeeded in making his escape, and, his broth
er dying at Forli the same year, he visited En
gland and afterward returned to Switzerland,
where, for two or three years, he contented him
self with writing poetical and military works;
which do not appear to have been extensively read.
The death of the Duke of Reichstadt in 1832,
gave a new impulse to his ambitious hopes. RIEI
first revolutionary attempt, at ' Strasbourg, in Oc
tober, 1838, completely failed, but atter a short
imprisonment in Paris, he was sent te. thiq coun
try. The illness of his mother . occasioned• his re
turn the following year, and after a visit to Swit
zerland he took up his residence in England until
his second attempt at Boulogne, in 1840.
In this affair severai of his - -follnwera were kil-
led, and he was himself taken and sentencedlo
imprisonment for life in the Castle of Hame-.The
particulars of his escape in May, 1846, after an
incarceration of six years, are well known.—
Frourthat time;until the end of: September last,
when he was returned as a Deputy to the Nation
al Assembly from'the Department of the Seine, he
has resided in England. A late London journal,
in describing his mode of We, gives the following
not very flattering account
glie war unscrupulous in contracting obliga
tions which were wholly beyond nis means of re
payment; and his most serious pursuit was the stu
dy of alchemy, by which he expected to arrive at
the discovery of the philosopher ebbe., ";So vig
orously did he,prosecute this expiated science, at
a house which he had fitted up as a laboratory at
Camberwell, and so'firm was his faith in the char.
latan empiric whom he employed to aid' him in
transmuting the baser metals into gold,:that he is
said to have actually appropriated -his'revenue in
anticipation, and to have devoted the first milliard
of his gains to the payment of the national debt
of France, in order to acquire thus an `imperial "
throne by purchase!"
The l arge majority by which he was elected =a
Represetitative astonishes every one, and gave hitt
followers the first encouragement to bring forth
his name as a candidate for the_Presidency. To

Destructive conilegration..Loss of Life—.
Immense Loss of. Property
At about 2 o'clock, on Saturday;exorning, our city
was'alarmed by the cry of fire, and those who rush
ed to'the scene discovered the flames starting from
the roof of Evans' Steam Flouring Mill, corner of
Redoubt alley and Water street.
The morning was intensely cold, and the wind
was high. The flames spread with great rapidity.
In a few moments, the adjoining buildings were on
Are. The large warehouse of Irwin & Son, Rope
Makers, and the Custom House, next door, (both of
these being on the east side of the and the
frame building occupied as a boarding house by Mr.
Ward, (on the west side,) were quickly destroyed.
Capt. Guthrie saved his official papers. He saved
everything, we believe, of value in his ace. The
stock in Irwin's Warehouse was nearly all destroy
ed—its value has not been estimated. This and the
Custom House building belonged to Mr. Irwin; and
cost $21,000. The insurance upon buildings and
stock is about $30,000. The loss of the firm is set
down at $lO,OOO tixs l s•oo.
The mill has been in the - possession of Mr. Page,
whose loss in stock is very great. He bad 900' bble.
of Flour , in store, all of which was destroyed.' The
stock lost is valued at $9,000; the mill at $12,000.
Insurance, $ll,OOO on all.
Mi. Ward saved some of his furniture; we do not
know how mach. The loss we have not heard. The
house belonged to Mr. Evans, *hose family resided
in it.
The large ddwalling of Mr. James Ledlie, adjoin
ing the Custom House, was entirely consumed. , His
house he valued at $ 10,000; insurance $4OOO. On
Front street, in the rear of the dwelling, was the
stable and carriage house, which were entirely de
stroyed.
The dwelling houseocenpied by Mr. Rhey, (own
ed by Mr. F. Lorenz,) Water street, was destroyed,
onlylthe walls left standing. We understand the
furniture was mostly saved, but much damaged with
vratni-, and the labor of removing it. The efforts of
the Bremen were etheieht.
On the. north side of Front street, four large
buildiegswerultustroyed- , ,.„Three of them lielong=,
,ell.34llts.Adiunti,, one one 444 bp Ili: Sever
the ethers were occupied By D. S.Seully and Adams
Getty. - Thine buildings were valued at $9,000 ; in
'slued at $3,000._
The largo dwelling of Reese Townsend was in
strayed. The loss is rather severe. He was in
sured far $3,000:
- ,The Block establishment of- Davage & Roberts,
north vide of Freetatreet,:ryas destroyed. We .did
not hear their loss.
Ward's Bucket Factory (in-the same huilding,)
was also destroyed.
There were four or five entail tenements burn-,
ed, which were of but little value to the owners; ,
but aeveral poor families were rendered liemeless.•
We understand a man'named Severance' last pat
terns to the value of $2,000. He had them deposit.,
,ed inla cellar near the foundry. '
,
Shortly after the fire broke out, it was the prevail
rug belief that it would' extend to , the•tiirthest ends
of the City—and so it... Would hare, had not there
been ice upon the roofs of the 'houses. Burning
embeis were drifted in all directions by the winds.
There was an explosion, which gave rise to nem,
'nor that powder had been deposited is the Custom
House. It appears that some chemicals were in the
rear of the building, which caused the report. "'
Another report waa made by the-Billing iu of the
walls' of the Custom 'noise. These walls brought
down.' the west wall•Of the dining -room of Ledliets
I house.'
Immediately after the fall, the groans of a man
were heard, and the firemen became eatisfied- that
some one was smetheringbeneath'the'ruin. , By the
desperati exertions , of , some of thtiDugueine mem
bers,:the timbeil weie cut, - and, Mr. James Ledge, ,

owes his life to the heroisiald three or four young
men belonging to this company. .
In the morning,'after the fire was extinguished;
rumors of death' were afloat and several men were
reported to he mlslipg. We believe all these, how
ever, appeared, except one, Mr. Wm. limrs,'Pan net*
He hid been seen tilde. Ledlle , s house,juit a mo-•
went previous to the crash, and not after. As he
was a temperate add steady man none, hesitated: to
believe that his body had been covered in the ruins.

rubbish in the cellar er the dining ream, and work
ed. all day,

aid. About 41 &clock in the evening the body was
found, not so much mangled as might have been
face was recognized by friends. From the po
sition of the body at the time it was foetid it was be.
lieved that he was in the act of attempting to escape
through the hall door: No other body was found;
and are now missing, we believe.
We have a rumor that a child had been anothered In Ward's house, so that its life wag despaired of.
B ut whetber!there was truth in, this we cannot tell.
,The firemen suffered - greatly while at the work.—
Their hands and feet were frozen to the Engines.
MILly were covered with ice, for the air was so cold
thafthe water froze as fast - as it touched their gar-.
meats.- The citizens, they say, did-not give them
much'aiisbnatice. The workers bentun exhausted;
