DAUNTLESS SOVL EBFXT, Wgo SMILED ON DEATH.* Tfmmpson. Ineland—il aught of Ireland now remains

Un amted bv corruption or by chains, Wake from thy trance of sorrow, and behold Another martyr n thy page enrolled. Lo, the voting Captive’s iron doors unfold, And He is free! A blander spirit in a heart more bold Breathes not the blessed air of Liberty.

Friend, frt the despot frown the slave deride, Mine was almost the solitary pride, ’Mid the dark horror of thy dungeon hours To intertwine its chain w.-h Friendship’s flowers, Twas bliss to me the itricken deerxn toud, And prove m anguish, as in joy, a friend. Yet oft, my country, when I mark the .nein Which pour’d a radiance round that dismal

scene— Heard from hi3 tongue the patriot torrent roll, Saw his bright eye, the meteor of his soul— oaw his young heart resign without u sigh, All youth’s day dr ams for lone captivity_ And saw, while others had the tear- the ihought Himself, the sad, sole sufferer, he forgot— This spirit hem, sweet land, before hy shrine In joy that such a relic still was thine; A relic given despair’s fixed eye to raise. And tumour pilgrim Isle, to happier, holier

days.

Friend of my youth ! tlie trial is o’er. Again Creation’s glories cheer th neeve ; The cells’ dark horrors shall return no more, Nor shall the mourning felon’s midnight »«tfh'

Th* eternal chain, the hope forbidding door, Or the poor Convict’s execution cry, Again compose thy dreadful lullaby !

What ! though of all the insect summer train To cheer thy fallen fo tunes none r main— What ! though, juat Heaven! thouleav’st thy prison throne, Denounced! bereft! abandoned, and alo 'e ! ! Sidl siia't thou shine; in freedom’s e roll’d. Wreath’d with her amaranth—A name of G >ld ; Still will thy country, linger ng o’er the n me, Tear it witn tears from many a page of shame ; And while her sighs and blu-h by turns disclose The mingled gnef -and glory of thy w es, Oft will site bless thee blighted in illy bloom, A primrose, withering on her wmt’ry tomb.

1 MrUL0 US ruESER VATIOJV'. The following are the interesting parti- culars of a late shipwreck, wherein the suf-

ferings and privations of the survivors are almost without a parcllel in the chequer- ed details of the dangers to which seamen are exposed On the 4th of September, the brig Friendship, Cant. N. F. Carder, tailed from Miramichi, N Brunswick, with a cargo of timber, for Bedford. On the morning of the. 18th, she sprung a-leak ; and on the 22d, (the unremitting efforts of the crew at the oumps proving unavailing to keep her free.) she was full of water.— In this deplorable condition, without the possibility of getting below, and distaot, by their calculation, about 347 leagues from the coast of Ireland, they kept the vessel before the wind, under easy sail, in the for- lorn hope of being able to make the land ; but unhappily on the 28th, (when, by sup- position, they were about 70 leagues from Cape Clear.) a sudden **qu ill coining on, ene oroacneu to, ana overset! tins me- lancholy disaster, 2 poor souls were wash- ed overboard ami drowned, ami the whole of the provisions and water they had col- lected on deck, with boats and every move- able article, were swept away ! The rest of the crew, con<iisti.tg of the captain, mate, three men and four boys, with difficulty supported themselves on the side of the •hip; when, after remaining in this awful situation about -10 minutes, having in the mean lime carried away her f..-e-mast, bowsprit and maintop-mast, she righted.— From the condition the vessel was in, how- ever, she had gradually settled abaft and from midships forward was the ordy part left aoovc water, upon which the miserable survivors coul I obtain an insecure footing, every succeeding wave threateni g to hurl them into the dreadful abyss ! For six te- dious days and nidits did th* se devoted sufferers remain in this wretched and hope- less state, without a morsel of bread to sus- tain the cravings nature; all of them very thinly clothed, several without shoes, stockings or hats, and the few garments they wore constantly wet, owing to the rain that fell* and flip ora that broke over them. From the former,however, they fortunately derived some sustenance ; for during rain, they suspended a bed quilt in the remnant of the rigging, and, when completely satu- rated, by ca '•fully squeezing it, they ob- tained three i.ints nl water on each trial ; with this, aed a small quantity of rum, (the only nece* n y saved, liti* so much impreg- nated with aft wa'er fh T :»f. I’.,id* r, •» prevent its >cing used in m i«w state, fre-

quently threatened to throw it overboard,) hey made weak grog, which was sparingly served out to them in the heel of an old 'line, the best substitute they could find for a glass. The ship had been much infested " ith rats, and alter these vermin were dri- ven from their lurking places below by the water, they took refuge on those parts which were left dry, ami openly run about among the people on the forecastle. From this station the captain would nut permit them to lie driven, lest in the extremity of their distress, should tin friendly sail ap- pear in view,they might ultimately be com- pelled to have recourse to these trouble- some guests, as a temporary respite to ex- piring nature • Rut the rats were a terri- ble annoyance to the almost exhausted suf ferers: as the vermin fell a prey to want they devoted each other ; nav, they even attacked the naked feet of' the seamen whilst asleep, and when brushed away by ieir hands, fastened on their fingers !~ 'Vitli a view ofkeeping hope alive amongst his almost dying companions, the captain offered two dollars, which he found in his

pocket, as a premium to the man who should first descry relief; but faith and vigi- lance at last centered in himself alone, and on the evening of the 6th day, (4th Oct. in lat. oO, 30, long. 14,) he providentially es- pied a sad, which lie did not, however", an- nounce tor ten minutes, lest the stranger should not steer in their course. When all doubt on bo momentous a point was remov-

f\. i °, (,ered the friendly bed-quilt, (which had before been so serviceable, and

was the only signal they could then mus- ter,) to be hoisted ; and the harbinger of their joy proved to be the Sachem, captain Howland, of Boston, from Liverpool, for America, who immediately on perceiving the wreck bore down, and rescued the suf- ferers, at a moment when despair had ap- parently reduced nearly the whole of them to the last stage of existence.

AMcrueinx ail sareiy removed from the wreck, Capt. Howland, with genuine Chris- tian benevolence, treated them with the tenderness of a parent—administering to t \em simple food in limited quantities ; and b similar judicious means their dormant faculties were soon re-ammated : and they were all speedily restored to the use of tl.eir limbs. Two days afterwards, they fell in with the John, Capt. Brassey, from Africa for Liverpool, to which vessel they were transferred, and after again experien- cing the humane and feeling regard due to tueir pitiable state, were safely landed at Liverpool on f he I5tl. Oct. Their deliver- ance was most providential, as a gale of wind and a heavy sea came on the follow- ing day, which must have swept every soul oil the wreck. On the 11th, 7 days alier they w||e picked up, the vessel was fallen m wiflff u lat. 50. 57, long. 12. ;30, drifting at the mercy of the waves, by the William? arrived at Liverpool from New-York Yv'e have been careful to detail the particulars id this escape, having obtained the infix mation from one of the survivors ; and were it the same time anxious to record so strik- ing an example of the benefit to be derived, in similar circumstances* from that pious resignation, coolness and intrepidity, by which the conduct of Capt. Carder was so Eminently distinguished throughout the whole of this very trying and appalling Jccne.— Cal^douiaii J^lzvcury,

MU l INKERS OF TIIE BOUNTY. Most of our readers have heard of the

mutiny of the c ew of the Bounty, captain Bligh, in 1789. The captain and others were put on board the launch, and the mu- tineers sailed for Otaheite. Those who re- mained there met with various unfortunate lates. fourteen of them were taken into custody by the vessel sent out after them jy the Admiralty, and three of them wore actually hanged. But Christian, the lead- er ol the mutiny, with eight followers, and several natives of Otaheite. mostly women, sailed from that Island in Sept. 1789, and fiom that period to 1809, no information reached England concerning them. In the beginning of the last mentioned year, Sir Sidney Smith t ansinitted a paper from captain Folger. an American, which stated that he had touched at Pitcairn’s Island, in lat. 25 deg. 2 min. S. Ion*; 130 deg. W. Irom Greenwich, supposerfto be uninhabit- ed ; but on which lie met three young men who spake English, and who informed him that they were descended from an English- m m who sailed with Capt. Bligh. Nearly aboiit the same time, a particular account of this interesting colony vas sent by Sir Thomas Staines,'of the Br on. This offi- cer stated that he fell in with an Island not laid down in the charts, but which is un- doubtedly Pitcairn’s Island, ar.d which he supposed was uninhabited ; but to his meat astonishment found that it w»s peopled by Kflglish, (do in number.) I hey proved to be descendants ol the crew of the Bounty. A venerable old man, named John Adanisj is the only suiviving Englishman of those who last visited Otaheite, iri company with Christian. They were accompanied to the Island by 0 Otaheitian men arid 12 women ; the men were all swept away by desperate’ contentions : 5 of the Ktiglishmyt died, and Christian, the leader, fell a sacrifice to the jealousy of an Otaheitian,whose wife he had deprived him of: so that only one man and seven women remained of the original set- tlers. The first man who got on board the Briton was named Thursday October Chris tian : lie was the first born of the Island, and son to Christian. He was about 25 years of age, six feet high, with black hair and fine dark complexion ; his countenance open and interesting ; his only dress was a

piece of cloth round his loins, and a straw hat ornamented with feathers j his whole appearance bespoke him to be good-humor- ed, honest, and benevolent. The astonish- ment of the captain and crew was great, on hearing this young man exclaim, from the canoe, before getting on board the Briton, “ Won’t you heave us a rope now ?” But their surprize and interest were not a lit- tle increased when they saw this fine young man, on being taken below, in company

with another, a fine youth of 17,me up, be i fore partaking of food, aud repeat in ;■

pleasing tone, “ K..r what we are going t« | receive, the Lord make us thankful.” On accompanying these young men on shore, the admiration o! the captain and party in- creased. 1 hey were met by John Adams and conducted to his house, which was neatly fitted up, and furnished with beds and other conveniences. The colony now consisted of about 4f» persons. The young men all athletic, and of the finest forms.-^ 1 he young women were tall a d beautiful- ly shaped ; their faces beaming with smiles and good humor, and their whole demeanor modest and bashful. Their cloathing con- sisted of a simple petiicnat from the waist to the knees, and a tasteful head dress_ the greatest harmony prevailed in this little society, who all looked up to John Adams as a father, and entirely followed bis directions. When a youth is possessed of land sufficient to maintain a family, lie is married by the Patriarch Adams, and such is their purity of morals, that no in- stance of want of chastity has occurred since Christian’s death. Religion and mo- rality have been carefully instilled into their minds bv Adams, who has in every respect behaved most admirably, and well redeemed his errors as a mutineer. Their agricultural implements are made by them- selves from iron supplied bv the Bounty._ the good old man keeps a regular journal, and an account of the. work done hy each family, what each has received, and what •s due on account. When the stores of one family are low, they are assisted from the general stock, which is repaid when cir- cumstances proceed more favorable. Ad- ams seemed to have a wish to visit Kur- land ; but the young men and women flock- ed around him, and with tears entreated that their father and protector might not be torn from them. It is almost needless to add, that Sir Thomas Staines lent a willin'* ear to their supplications. c

BOTANY BAY. Some years ago, one of the convicts in

Botany Bay wrote a farce, which was acted with great applause at the theatre in Port Jackson, l’he noted Barrington furnished the prologue, which he ended with these lines:—

“ paHots we; for be it under- stood,

™e left our country—-for our coun-

try’s good.” W hi si ling to smite tune.

The Lady *>i Dr Bendiftm was a woman of a disposition congenial with that of her cavo sposo. Mie asked a person wb<» ap- plied for the place of (ootman in her family d he could whistle? “ Why is that .ne- cessary ?’* said tin* man. “ Because,” said the Lady, “ i expect my footman to whis- tle all the time he is in the cella., to l»e certain he is not drinking while he is there.

ANECIK )TE. As a Scotchman and an Irishman were

threshing fur a Dutch farmer, the former observed to the Utter, who w as fresh from Kassocks of KUkenney—-that in the course or his long residence in this counfry, he had remarked the. uncommon docility of its horses; and among many instances of trac- tibility, he had seen them actually employ- ed m threshing out wheat. « Arrali my jewel.” cried Murphy Mac Mullen,“ 1 a.i. hall a dozen years too ripe to believe that.” Hie Scotchman still persisted that he as- serted nothing but truth, and Murphy as pertinaciously retained his unbelief,' till staggered by his companion's serious and repeated asseverates, he interrogated in a tone of wonder « and how do they hold the flails r” J

Dreadful Vengeance! A clergyman, in the time or Cromwell,

being deprived of his living for nonconfor- mity, said to his friends, « That if he was deprived, it should cost a hundred men their lives. * This strange speech being noised abroad, lie was summoned before a magistrate, and thus explained his inten- sion: “ Should ] lose my benefice,” said be, “ I am resolved to practise plysic, and then I may, if I get patients, kill a hundred men.”

From the Sporting Magazine. The last words of TO VI ASH, the Punster. u My Friend—-

It is time lor a man to look grave, when he has one foot there; every fit ot coughing, has put me in mind of my coffin, though dissolute, men the seldoraeat think ot dissolution. This a great alteration ! I, that supported my.-elf with good wine, must now t»e supported by a small bier.— V fo tune-teller once looked on my hand, and said,k* 1 ins man is o, b*> a great travel-

ler ; he will be at the liiet f It orms, aUd Iroin thence go to Uotis-bone.” Now, seeing I understand this double

meaning, I de*i e to be privately buried, for I think a public funeral looks like Ituru fair, and the riles of the dead too often prove wrongs to the living; methinks the wordI itself best expresses the number, nei- ther few nor-all. A dying man ghouM not think of obsequies, but of ob se quips. Lit- fle did 1 app ehend you would so soon see lom atown under a tomb-stone.

Every thing should put us in mind of death ; Physicians assure us, tl.at nur very food breeds it in us ; so that in our dieting, we may be said to die eating. There is something ominous, not oidy in the name of diseases, as rfi-arhma/ r/i-abefis, rfy-sentery; but, even in the drugs designed to pies-rve life, as di-acor- dium r/i-apente, r/i-ascordium.

EXCELLENT PUJST. \ noble Chief of one of the Iri-di law*
