SONG OP THE BLIJTD ONE . Tscri talk of rainbows in the sky , and blossoms on the tailh , They sing fts beauty rf the stars in songs of lore and mirth ; They say the moonkon-sod is fair—they tell of dewdrops bright , They praise ths sun that warms the day , and moon that cheers the night . I do not sigh to watch the Eky , I do not care to see The lustre drop on green-hill top , or fruit -upra the tree I ' ve prayd to have my lids unseal'd , bnt 'twas no . to behold
Hie pearly dawn of misty morn , or evening clond of gold : If o , bo , my Mary , I wonld turn from fiower , star , and sun , "Sot well I know thou * rt fairer still , my own , my gentle one . I hear the music others deem most eloque-t sod sweet , Iks merry lark aboTB my head—the cricket at my lest , The laughing tones of cbUdhecd ' s glee that gladden wMlfc they ring , The robin in the winter time—the cuckoo in the
spring . But nsTer do I think those tones so beautiful as ihine , Wh = n kind Wuids from a kinder ktart oenfirm that hear ; is rains . There is no melody ef sound thit bids my soul rejoice , As wfeen I hasr my Eimple nacse breathed by thy happy T 0 JE 8 ; And , iiary , I will ne ' er bclieTe that flower , star , ox son , Can e-Ftx be bo bright as tbee , my true , my gentle one .

A Modern Miracle . —The other evening a vagrant-fellow was taken into custody at Lincoln , for disturbing the public peace , together with his wife , a red-haired sybil , who pretended to be deaf and dumb , and to tell fortunes by signs . Jt appears , however , that the potency of the liquor they drunk had loosened the lady ' s tongue , for she cursed and swore , and abused the police in grand style . They were accordingly accommodated with a night ' s lodging in the lock-up , but on the following morning , when brought before the Mayor , the female ' s tongue wa 3 again mute . They wera discharged , on condition of quitting the city . immediately . —Two or three
weeks ago , the Stamford Mercury announced that the plane ; "Juniper ' would bo very conspicuous in the evenings for some months to come , and doubtless old Woredale , the Lincoln conjurer , would affirm this to have beea a proof of its influence on his sister sybil . These pretenders to read the mysteries of futurity for others , can never discover it for themselves ; liberally dispensing riches , marriage , and offspring to others , the old conjurer could not discover who it was that upset his water-butt , nor could he foresee a night ' s lodging on the bare boards of the police station .
Brussels papers states that Holland has lost one of its most honourable citizens—the House of Orange one or its most able servants—tbe diplomatic body one of its most distinguished members—M . Falck , minister of the KiDg of the Netherlands , who died at Brussels of an attack of the gout . The demise of the minister adds to the chronological list one more celebrated came whose death was occasioned by that tormenting disease , gout . No doubt is entertained that the several valuable lives which have recently fallen victims to this afflicting disease might have been spared to society had they taken Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatio Pills .
Alasmikg Firs at Westminster—On Sunday night , shortly after ten o ' clock , a fire broko out in the s ' . abling in the occupation of Mr . Blatchley , egg merchant , situated behind the dwelling houses in Lower Chapter-street , Vauxhall-bridge-ioad , Westminster . Although the fire was discovered at a very early stage , and although some of the inhabitants and police exerted themselves to extinguish the fire , they were unable , for in about five minutes after the outbreak the flames had extended to the carpenter's stores adjoining , belonging to Mr . Scott , and also to a dwelling house , belonging to the same gentleman ,
in Lower Garden-street , and from thence they communicated to part of Mr . Hjggins ' e premises , in the same street , all of which were at one time blazing away at a furious rate . Fortunately the engine belonging to the London brigade , from the station in Horseferry-road , was soon brought to the spot , and an immediate and abundant supply of water was procured , which was poured in a great body on the flames , which prevented their further extension . By much exertion on the part of the firemen , and an admirable supply of water , the fire was entirely eubdued by a little past elaven o ' clock .
Pcblic Opinion . —Dr . Johnson has pronounced " public opinion" as the moat equitable tribunal to which we can appeal ; and one to whose verdict all minor decisions should bow in humble submission . The propriety of this sentiment is , of course , fully apparent , and any individual who would establish the decision of a single critic , as superior to that of the public , would soon bring about a strange subversion of things . That the majority should sway the minority is a maxim everywhere received and adopted , and without such an understanding as this being acted upon , it wonld bo utterly impossible to maintain the order of the commmunity . If then , the merits or domerits of any particular thing , aro to bo judged of from the opinion pronounced by the public at large , the Vegetable Pills of the longevist
Parr , may be viewed as possessing properties of no ordinary character . When the proprietors introduced these pills to the world , they of course , Tested upon their own intiinsive qualities . A trial was made—the public judged and approved , and that , too . in a manner , beyond all precedent . Not here and here alone were they flatteringly received , but tho comauuity at large—( almost ivirti one voice ) returned a verdict in favour of this invaluable cure . Where , then is the individual who would for an instant call in question the acknowledged efficacy of this inestimable medicine , in opposition to so positive a criterion 1 Or who would venture to pronounce a verdict of condemnation when he n fleets that this grand medical desideratum has so iuccessf ully passed tbe ordeal of " Public Opinion . "
A Windfall . —In the middle of last week , an old woman who had resided Eeveral years in the Newrow , Perth , but of whem , as respects the place to which she belonged , her connections , or even her name , farther than that she bore the cognomen of " Mary Duua , " her neigbbours knew nothing , died ; and contrary to all expectation , as she subsisted principally on charity , left behind her ninety pounds tied in an old stocking . The whole was in silver , and principally in half-crowns . Three days after her death some knowledge of her connections was obtained , and on Sabbath , a sister in poor circumstances made her appearance from Aberdeen , whose claim , ws understr-nd , will not be disputed to tho hr . irship of a sum which will go far to render her declining years comfortable , she being also aged . — Perth Courier .
Another Destructive FiRE . —On Sunday morning , a destructive fire broke out in the private dwelling-house belonging to Mr . William Seward , No . 3 , Heath-street , Commercial-road , Stepney . The fire , when first discovered , was raging with fearful rapidity in the lower part of the premises , the various inmates being fast asleep at the time . By dint of extraordinary exertion on the part of the firemen , they were enabled to get the complete mastery of the conflagration in little better than an hour and a half , bnt not until the building , with Ub valuable furniture , &o ., was almost consumed .

Speaker , " Baid a distinguished orator in a Western Legislature , I have been accused of vacillation in my political principles » Me vacillate !—me , who first draw the breath , of life beneath the gigantio foliage of the forest oafe ! who was cradled in an earthquake , and snckled by the Mississippi 1—me , whose playthings in childhood were the bear and the alligator , and who in maturer years delighted to grapple with the farious torrent as it rushed wild and headlong from its mountain home , and to sport with the tornado and the double-engine steam-boat !

The Chartists of Newcastle and GateBhead , held their weekly business meeting on Monday evening , Mr . Young in the chair . The minutes of the previous meeting having ben read and confirmed , Mr . Sinclair stated ft suggestion which was made by some of the Chartists of Ouseburnto him respecting the Chartists of Newcastle , Ouseburn , and Gateshead , hiring some public place of meeting in Newcastle at shares of 2 c 6 i . or 5 s . each , when it was agreed that Messrs . Embleton and Sinclair be appointed to meet the Ouseburn deputation , and enter into the necessary arrangements respecting such a desirable ofcject , us a public hall to meBt in . It is hoped that all who wish Chartism well in Newcastle
Ouseburn , Gatesheud , and their vicinities will come forward aud take Bhares in so laudable an undertaking as the Chartists cannot get a place to hold a public meeting now , without paying the enormous sum of 50 a . for each meeting , and it is confidently bolieved that , in the event of a proper place of meeting being procured by the Chartists , it will be of great benefit to the public , so far as doing away with tha . present monopoly in places of meeting . Having disposed of a good deal of local business the meeting adjourned until Thursday , when they should meet to express their opinions respecting the different ' plans of Organic » ion , and forward such opinions to the Conference in Birmingham .

FEARFUL OCCURRENCE ON THE TRENT , AT STOKE . The banks of OHr beautiful river , the Trent , present bo beautiful a variation of exqaisite scenery , and the bosom of its waters affords such charms for those who love aquatic sports , tbatj there is no wonder a taste for these pleasures has latterly grown amongst the young persons in this locality . Friday last being a day of relaxation , several Of the young men employed in our office , proceeded down the river iu the Baracouta , a private pleasure ! boat , on an excursion , in expectation of enjoymg a delightful day ' s sport at fishing , &o . They sailed merrily and quickly down to Stoke , a village on the left bank of the Trent , eight miloe from Nottingham . Having arrived at
this beautiful part of our noble river , they anchored the vessel , and wont to tho Boat Inn , to procure some refreshment . Thinking they had now proceeded far enough , they dispersed themselves , some of them going a littla further down to fish . Three of them , however , Mr . Thomas Rawson , Mr . William Whitehead , and Mr . Thomas Thompson , took the boat and crossed the river , to rusiicate amongst the fields and woods on the opposite bank . They had not been enjoying themselves in this sweet spot more than half au hour , when their pleasurable feeliugs vanished , upon bearing a piercing cry of distress on the Stoke side
Of the river ; and on looking towards the quarter from whence it proceeded , thoy observed a horse and cart rolling and tossing about in the wide waters , with a man and a boy ] in the cart , in a very agitated state , and ia danger every moment of being washed away by the excesaiye strength of the current . Mr . Whitehead , who was the only one of the three who coald swim , plunged into the river , and swimming with unusual vigour , crossed it , caught hold of the horse ' s head ( it being rapidly approach * ing towards the centre of tho stream , and struggling fearfully ) and elevating its nostrils above the surface of the water , with his left hand , and swam with his right hand towards the bank from whence they had
started . ; From the manner in which" the animal seemed to make its way when thus led , 'it may reasonably be supposed that they would all ihave safely escaped to the shore , had not an unforeseen obstruction arisen . At various < places in the Trent , long walls , or weirs , are raised as far in the river as possible , to make it navigable at low water mark ; one of these lay a few yards before them , and upon I reaching it , and discovering what it was , Mr . Wh ' itehead mounted upon this , and lifting up the animal ' s head , enabled him to place his fore feet firmly on thia embankment ; then , taking the boy from his more dangerous position on the cart * where he clung , half drowned , he placed h m biaide himself on the weir . The curreDt was excessively rapid , tbe cart was every
moment dragging moro heavily at the heels of the horse , and although he struggled hard to retain his foothold , and secmod to display tbo greatest sagaoity in his manoeuvres to counteract the effect of the overwhelming torrent , still it proved too much for him . The moment the animal lost his foothold and rolled over again into the stream , the females in the vicinity rent the air with one of the most terrific screams ever beard . But the agony felt by strangers , would be comparatively nothing to what was experienced by tho boy , about thirteen years old , himself still on the brink of destruction , with difficulty retaining a precarious footing up to the middle in the wido waters ; and when he saw the cart roll over , he seemed overwhelmed with agony , and repeatedly cried aloud— " See , see 1 my father ! oh save him , save him ! " !
For a short time the old man managed to retain his hold of the cart , and aa it rolled over , he still contrived to climb to the top ; but the stream quickly taking them more into the depth of the river , he was washed off ; the anxious bystanders raised a fearful scream , as he sank , apparently for ever ; and he must inevitably have been lost , had not Mr . Whitehead dashed into the deep to his assistance ; a few rapid strokes brought him above the old man , and diving for a moment he brought him again to the surface ; and having placed his left hand under the right arm of the drowning man , he struck off for the side of the river , when he aganrgained a footing upon the weir . For a moment the ) old man retained his foothold , and but for a moment ; being much
exhausted by his previous struggles , the stream again washed him away , and Mr . Whitehead again , in a fit of desperate courage , plunged after him ; but he had nearly paid too dearly for his temerity : seizing hold of the dying man incautiously , ha was grasped round the neck with deathlike agony , and consequently they both sank to the bottom of the river , some yards under water ; fortunately , however , Mr . Whitehead never lost bis presence of mind , and now , despairing of being able to save the Me of the unfortunate man , he felt reluc'antly compelled to leave him to his fate , in consf quence of the rapid failing of his own strength ; a desperate struggle ensued { between them , and having succeeded in disengaging himself from the death-clutch of the poor fellowJ he rose to the
surface . The Baracouta had now ' reached within a few yards , after considerable difficulty and danger ; at this moment a small boat from the ferry also reached the spot ; observing assistance near , Mr . Whitehead made towards the Baracouta , and was taken aboard by his two friends , in a state of much exhaustion ; at the same instant , the drowning man , whose snatches and struggles to retain tha hold he bad lost , brought him once m *> re to the top of the water , was rescued by the ; ferryman and his assistants . Tno poor fello ^ presen ted a most awful picture ; his face was of a livid yellow and black colour , and his eyes appeared to b « starting from their sockets . He was conveyed to Mr . Cupitt ' s , the Boat Inn , where , after the necessary restoratives had been : used , he gradually
acquired strength , and is ( now perfectly recovtred . Having secured on ? of the struggling parties , the Baraconta proceeded up the river to rescue the poor boy from the dangerous position he had occupied all the while ia the middle of the stream , where he continually cried out that he was every minu ' . e becoming weaker ^ and that the stream was taking him off his legs . I Tho individals who had ber n thus almost miraculously saved , were Mr . Hugh Watson , baker , of Carlton , and his son . £ t appears that he had seen a horse and cart cross the river a few days previously , w , hen the water was very low , and he determined toido tha same ; anfortunaiely , however , ho did not observe that , the river was much swollen , and almost bank full ; the oonseouence was , that the horse wad taken off his legs the moment he plunged into tho \ river . —Nottingham Review .
