Whilst -I address thee, Sister of my heart,
What sweet sensations in my bosom rise;
Whilst I attempt my feelings to Impart,
In fan.y then, I see those beaming eyes.
When first we wandered by you hill's side green,
Gay as the birds, that warbled on the spray ;
My breast was calm, all nature woe serene,
And hope, sweet hope! stood smiling on the way.
Ah ! happy hours, though fled forever hence,
Ye're 'cherished still on faithful memory's page ;
I hear a voice, that whispers me from thence,
Of happier hours, beyond life's busy stage.
When night has drawn her sable curtain round,
And thou shalt seek repose in balmy sleep;
When all is hushed, and silence reigns profound,
May holy angels near thee, vigils keep.
Should't thou 'er visit those laved scenes sgrain,
In future days, when I am far from thee;
And when thy lips breathe forth some cherished
Orwigsburg, Oct-ber 1840.
The beginning of Mr. Butler's fututo tioubles,
will be understood from the fact, that, being adver
tised to deliver at Boston, on the 29th ulh the open- ,
mg lecture to the annual course at the Lyceum in
that city, the Lecture was postponed because of the
unwillingness to listen to Mr. Butler, after his re;
cent agency in the base conspiracy of bas amen here,
to dishonor the Whig party, and such men belong
ing to it a M. H. Grinnell, and others, his assJciates.
The trustees of the Lyceum placed this postpone
ment on the ground that the owners of the building,
where the lecture was to be delivered, notified them,
'that, owing to the excitementin Boston - against Mr,
Butler, they feared for the safety of the building, if
he should appear there.
The Boston Courier—justly as it seems to us—
objects that this is nbt exactly the trne state of the
case, no inxists that the real purpose—which was
after Mr. Butler's late proceedings—. to dispense en
tirely with his services," should have been frankly
stated, a ithout exposing the character of the city to
the imputation of mob violence.
Why not, (adds the Courier,) why not toll Mr.
Butler, frankly and openly, that the dirty business in
which he has been so busy,since he engaged t, deliver
a lecture to the Boston L ycetjm, has disqualified him
for that service ; that the people do not mit to hear
him, and that the Lyceum would be disgraced by his
presence which might be said with truth. No•
body could have been dissatisfied with this "
14r. Butler will find to his cost acd mortification;
that he has engaged in a business that will exclude
him alike from the associations of literature and the
company of gentlemen. •
As much desire is apparent in the city to know
something definite in regard to the progress to corn
pletion of this vessel ; se, with the laudable desire of
allaying 'deb curiosity, wended uur way some days•
ago to the scene of operations, the Navy Yard. As
we neared the building containing the vessel, the busy
hum, and cheerful sounds of industry broke pleasant
ly on our ear—mixed and blended came the sounds
of the grating saw, the hammer's clink, the fall of
heavy timber, and the strokes of the axe, as each of
the busy multitude engaged on the vessel, applied
his separate avocation. Having entered the building
we turned our admiring gaze towards the huge vessel
whose enormous proportions were spread out before
us. Having walked down the•large space in older
more fully to view her beautifully modelled shape, we,
mindful of the cravings of our readers, turned our at
tention to obtaining the requisite information, and by
the kindness of some of the gentlemen connected
with the yard, we are enable to lay forth the follow
ing particulars.
The frigate is built in the' best and most durable
manner of live oak obtained from the southern part of
Georgia, and weighing SO pounds to the square-foot,
The frame of the hull is supported in the strongest
manner with live oak knees, etc., and in regard to
bolts and fastenings of every kind, nothing but cop.
per has been employed. She is double decked, the
space between them being a little more than six feet,
and in the centre of the vessel is a large space for i the
reception of the engines, at each end of which there
is an iron plate bulk head or acreen drawn complete
ly across the vessel for the purpose (in case of a leak)
of keeping the water in one part of the -vessel, and
alio to guard against accidents from the fires of the
engines. They are at this time planking the upper
deck, and the whole vessel is in•such a stnte of foi
-1 werdness that (w'ere the engines ready)' she could be
lauliched in two months. She will be rigged in the
same manner as a ship, and will require as her corn•
plement two hundred men. Her ordnance will con
'gist of forty-two pounders and two bombe to throw
:ten inch shells—and when in full sailing order her
burthen will be 1700 tons. Her weight is estimated
at 500 tons. She is nearly as long as the steam ship
'President and one foot wider. her hold is con
stracted a repository capable of containing 800 tons
of anthracite coal by which the engines are to be
worked. In regard to the principal dimensions, wO
h►sa_obtained the following s
'Our'lives are•composrd of these atoms combin'd,
Soon will they their maximum reach.
This'truth well-rememberl by every mind,
A most useful lesson may teach.
When these vapors of time, shall all be condensed ,
Probation with us at an end,
May we in a future life jo) fully commenced,-
A blissful eternity spend. W. L. H.

way to another and yet more nofsrrieene--Ithe en.
gintand foundry establishmeat of litli•sars. Merrick dic
'Towne, who are busily engaged in, making the en
gines for the Frigate. Having obtained permission
we viranexred through the large estal lishment, which
is filled with workmen, who in pursuit of their several
occupations made noise. enough to have awakened
the Sevei• Sleepers. the first room we entered,
a number of workmen were -engaged in filing and
polishing various parts of the huge engines. The
main Centre-pin for the lever beams weighing about
500:pounds was in the process of being turned on a
very large lathe.—The steam chambers, specimens of
great skill in casting being of a very intricate shape
and cast in a single piece are very nearly finished—
a huge cylinder more than 6 feet in diameter and at
least 12 feethigh was being bored—this machine for
boring is of a new construction, the body to be bored
being placed upright instead of being laid down as is
usual—the circle of the bore is more , true, it having
been found that by the old method the bore was not
exactly circular. We. - also observed a very neat ma
chine 'for making screws—all the workmen in this
room were engaged on•artieles for the Frigate and
the beautiful finish on the brass and steel work is
de
serving of all praise. la the next room are a large i
number , of forges the blast of which is derived from
a large fan-wheel driven by a steam engine. A small
vertical trip hammer, capable of fagotting a bar 6 in
ches square. was in operation as we entered and was
rapidly reducing to shape a large mass of glowing
iron.
The Foundry next attracted our attention. The
mould of ono of the frames of the engine was very
nearly ready for casting—outside the door was a
frame which had been lately taken from the mould ;
It Weighs about 12 tons and is of a beautiful Gothic
pattern. The castings which we saw are very heavy
and very difficult, And the success which has atten
ded Messrs. M. & T. in their efforts thus far, is great
evidence of skill and superior workmanship—a large.
number of castings varying in weight from one to
twelve tons are in process of finishing here.
The next place to which we bent our steps was to
the boiler room, where are four large topper boilers
now nearly finished. At the upper part of the build
ing one , of the engines is being put together. The
following are the dimensions of some of its parts :
Diameter d cylinder,
Length of stroke,
Bed plate weight 14 tons, with ) length 29 2
channels cast on, breadth 7 4
Main shaft of wrought 5 diameter 1 5
iron, length 25 8
Paddle wheels entirely of 5 diameter 2.tr 8
wrought iron, t the bucket 10
Weight of steam cylinder 8 tons, weight of bed
flare 14 tons and a6,00u pounds of metal used in the
melting.
These engines are of the kind usually known as
the English Marine Engines The cylinders are
placed vertically, with two lever beams, one on each
side working on pedestals ri,ing.from the bed plate
and connected over the cylinder with the connecting
rod by side links.
The Gothic pattern which has been adopted is very
handsome and appropriate—they were commenced in
the January of this year, and gill be finished in the
Spring of 1841.
We view with gratified feelings these substantial
monuments of the skill and industry of the mechanics
of our city. Our city has long held an enviable re
putation for manufactures, and - each succeeding day
but serveito add to it. The light of intelligence is
sheeding her cheering beams around our artizans and
On the daily, nay hourly improvements which they

Then follows a FORGED CORRESPONDENCE,
-- - calculated to throw discredit on General Harrison,
and intended for extensive circulation in the South.

fablieasion; worthy of a party that boasts such mem
bers as Boiler, Edmonds and Stevenson ; whose ju
dicial office:a and city magistrates, invade the

rob them of their private papers; and whose bullies,
in vagrant gangs, armed with whips and loaded

James Burney for President, end substitute that of
General William Henry Harrison. And we hope
that ail of our abolition friends will use their exer
tions to c!evate to the Presideucy ono who is (as
will be seen) pledged to carry out some of the mliht
prominent and essential views of the friends of the
African race. All who moy receive this circular will
be doing service to a good cause by giving it as ex
tensive a circulation us possible.
This lie of the New Era and its associates is thus
nailed to the counter :
Letter from General Harrison.
7o the Editor of the Republican:
CiNctnitterri, 27th Oct. IS4O
Dear Sir—l have furnished you with a hand-bill
purporting to be issued from the Office of the Eman.
cipator of New York, containing a letter under the
date of the :21st of September, directed to me and
signed Sy Arthur Tappan, J. Leaven and 11. Dies
'per. and an answer to that letter purporting to be
signed by mc, dated in this city on 2d of October,
1840.
I have never in my life received a letter from the
above named persons either conjunctively or indi,
vidually ; nor did I ever address either the .lett
signed with my name, or any other letter to them
or' either of them. THE WHOLE IS A VILE
FABRICATION. TOTALLY DESTITUTE OF
THE LEAST FOUNDATION IN TRUTH. The
letter which, enclosed the handbill to me is left in
your possession, and it has the New York postmark
upon it, and was opened this day by me in the res.
elm of Mr. E. P. Lingdon. the deputy postmaster.
Yours truly.
W. H. HARRISON

fraud, ever attempted.by a party in this tir dny Wh
et country :
Cu!. A. genii...Fos,
Dear Sir—l have received from you a slip of a
Cioeinnatti paper containing a correspondeheirsaiil
to have taken placo - betWeen 'myself and two other
individuals and Geri: William H. Harrison, With a
request from you to me to state, whether the alleged
correspondence is authentic, which I now cheerful.
ly do, and assure you that I never put my name to
atiy paper addressed to General Harrison, nor have
I ever received any communication from him on the
subject of abolition, or in reference to any other mat.
ter. I therefore unequivocally declare, that -any
correspondence, published or .ntlierwine, as having
passed between us, in a most . unwarantAble forgery.
Your obedient servant,
ARTHUR TAPPAN.
Those who know the Character of the Loco Foco
party as well as we do, will not be surprised at their
resort to this inifamons forgery. We not only ex
pected it, but on reference to our paper of the 23d
October, it will be perceived that we actually pre
dicted this identical fraud, and put our friends on
their guard against it.
The packet 'ships New 'Volk, %Warminster and
Louis Phillippe, arrived yesterday, and we have re.
ceived , by them London papers to the evening of
the 11th and Paris to the Bth ultimo,
Under other circumstances we should•findin these
papers materials for ample extracts, but now the
public mind is so engrossed by the ele,etiOna that
these would scarce be read, and besides we shalt, to
morrow, no doubt receive much later intelligence,
from Boston, brought by the steam ship Britania.
It will be seen dy the lettere front our Paris Cor
respondent, that the French Legislative Chambers
are convoked. This measuae is attributed by some
to the belief entertained by Louis that he
would find in the Chamber of Deputies a decided
support in his opposition to the warlike measures of
M. Theirs—by others, to a different cause. On all
hands, however, ibis admitted that the King is de
cidedly opposed to a course which would involve
Franco in hostilities with the other great European
powers, and tirete is besides, in the last papers mdi.
cations that England was making some concessions
in regsrd to the Turkish question, which would
proitiate 'public opinion in France.
Mehemet Ali has not yet given way as was sup
posed, and the official despachea from Admiral Stop
ford shew that the Engli.h and Austrans are acting
with energy in Syria. They have landed at Bey.
rout 7000 Turkish soldiers with the marines from
the English and Austrian ships and driven the E.
gyptians before them.—They have distributed army
and ammunition among the inhabitAs, from whose
co operation against the Egyptain army important
results are expected.
Prince Louis Napoleon has been sent off to the for

The abdication of his throne by the King of nol

We percieve no material altertion in the money
market. Fears are still entertained in London cf a
drain of bullion. The Liverpool Cotton Market was
dull notwithstandih'g a small conceasion in prices
in favor of the buyer, and the Corn Markets were
rather on the decline. The weather in England
had been seasonable, and the acconots of the harvest
are still encouraging.
Correspondence of the Cirorier & Enquirer.
Pmers, October 7, 1840.
Continued indisposition prevents my writing at
any length by this conveyance• The loss is not,
however, of much consequence, as the solution of the
great question has not arrived, nor grounds on which
to fix an anticipation of the manner in which it
would be brought about.
Every thing appears more warlike. Beyrout
has been destoyed by the English, Austrians, and
Turks, and the Turkish Government has formally
deposed (pronounced the cechane of) Mehemet Ali.
Tue French govern. - nent has in consequence ad
dressed a declaration to the foreign powers, patties
to the treaty ofJuly, to the effect that " the pecheance
of Mehemet Ali must not be enforced, and that any
attempt by them to give effect to that act of the Sul
tan would be viewed by rrance as a declaration of
war."
Now I will not pretend to the power of divining
how a war ie in these eircuinstarrces to be avoided,
but I remain fixed in my belief that even yet there
Will be none. I shall make no secret of the founds.
tion of this belief. It is knowledge that the King
will not have war.
I am quite aware of the responsibility his Majes
ty assumes in taking this• position, and already. the
retirement of the Theirs Ministry is announced as
imminent by the Courier Francias. The Chambers
—which aro to be convoked for the 7th or 10th of
next month—will nevertheless—it is expected--
sanction the views of the King, and thus will the
great calamity, a general war, be averted. There
is, I admit, some danger that popular temults may
ensue, but I should hope they will be easily sup.
prettied.
Th. affairs of Spain have recently undergone no

selves firmly. Toe crops have been fine, and the
vintage will be magnificent.
I trust, 1 shall be in time to add to my letter of
yesterday, that the "toolbar .3t this day contains
a royal ordinance convoking the French Cham
bers, for the 28th of the month.
This proceeding is viewed by one part of the pub.
lie as indicating the determination of the govern.
ment to go to war. By another it is regarded pacif
celv, the wet! known moderation of the Chambers
justify a belief that nothing so calamitous as war
will be sanctioned bylthem.
For mpeelf,•l still. rely on the King's love of
peace; bait I admit that matters have ,gone so far
that it will be found extremely difficult to restrain
the population.
The prices of the Funds to.day aro below those of

ARRIVAL OF THE BRIT ANNIA.
To the Boston Atlas we are indebted for an Extra
announcing the arrival of the Steamer Brittannia.
She left Liverpool on the 20th of October. We
acknowledge-also Extras from the Boston courier,
Journal and other. papers. 4r
P. S. Our files of London and Liverpool papers
by the Britannia have just come to hand.
The impression is that the Eastern question would
be pacifically settled. Active arrangements were in
progress between the English and French Cabinets,
the most active preparations to send a force into Ne
paul as soon ue the abatement of the rainy season
will permit.
CHINA.
Canton, June s.—The English were lying quietly
at Macan. The Canton market was cleared of teas,
and the Americans were preparing to 'leave by the
end of June. The expedition hat not arrived,. The
last seen of it was at Pulo Sopata, on the 13th ult.
By mimes received at Bombay, the Nepaulese
were in a state of insurrection. The rebels amount
ed to 8000. They marched on the capital, and
blockaded the British Preaiderit anti his escourt in
their houses.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF LOUIS
As the King was passing the quay of the Tuileries
on the 15th at 6 o'clock, a musket Was fired at him.
He escaped uni utl. The assassin was seized. His
name is Dermas. He denied that he had any ac.
complices.
