THE PBESS . { BT itRS . AEDT ) Oh I the -wondrous Press has a magic siray In Its great sad giant _ force , To the East and Westit bends its "way , And it takes o ' er the seas its coarse ; Say rt * 7 ^ vng storesmsy the good ship SH , In the pride ^ rf vain excess , But it boasts a treasure more precious stall , In the wealth of the mighty Press . The Ban of genius , unsought , unknown , May his heaven-born themes pursue , Their brightness gladdens himself alone , For his Mends are far and few ; Sat see in the ranks of fame he stands : IiO ; thousands his lays possess , And his same is "blazDned in distant lands , Through the aid of the mighty Press .
The poeFs numBers , the scholar ' s lore , Cast their radiant spell o ' er all ; Those strains are conned In the cottage poor That enchant the lordly hall ; And the book 'more hely than all beside , Which alone can truly bless , To the heathen shines as a Limp and guide , By the power of the mighty Press . Alas . ' thats scene so bright , so dear , Should a dark reverse disclose , Alas 1 that b boon so great , so dear , Shonia be « Ter linked -with -woes ; But the lawless doctrine of men psof aas , To the world their guile address , Proving to thousands a snare and bane , Through the sway of the mighty Press .
Tet the summer sky has its wintry deom , And the rose reveals a thorn , And evil mnst ever mix with good In a race to evil born ; We must bear the pangs of a thwarted will Where we fondly hoped snccess , ¦ R " e must sigh o ' er the * nwu » ef serial ill , Diffused by the mighty Press . Yet the light of faith let "us humbly seek To illume our dangerous road , Xetns deem all knowledge poorand weak That would lead our hearts from God ; Then may we welcomeinstroction ' s tide , As it flows out land to Hess , Ana greet -wish unmingled joy and pride Tne gift of our glorious Press .

CH 12 ? A A 2 ? D 1 SD 1 A . { From the Times . J The monthly express irom Marseilles has brought , in antjdpalicn of the Overland 3 £ a 3 , letters and papers from Bombay to th& 3 d of February . The intelligence "which they communicate is of tha hkhest importance , and in particular that relating to Caina . On the 23 d of November , Sir Henry Pottinger published a proclamation , declaring that he had , since his smval at Amey , learned with extreme horror and yj { TrnsfriTn ° Trt that many more + >>* ti one hundred Btitiii subjects , ^ wio had been -wrecked in the Bhip
Uaiiaaa * and brig Ann in September , 1841 , and March , 1542 , on lis coast vl the island of Formosa , had "been recently pat to death by the Chinese authorities there , who alleged That tip * cold-blooded act had been perpetrated by order of the Emperor . This proelamatien goes on to describe the atrocity of this sanguinary and inhuman crime , and concludes with stating that the British Plenipotentiary was resolved to demand from the Emperor that the local authorities , who , by falsa representations , had led to the commisEioD of the enormity , should be degraded and eonligcly punished , and that their property should be confssated , and the proceeds handed over to the dicers of tbe British GoTerameat for the relief and
support of the £ j .: nill £ 3 of those "who had been thus mgrcilessjy pnito death , A threat rf renewal of hos-Jffiiies was held cut in case the flPTno-nfl shonld not be complied iratlj . It tras , cofrever , supposed that tb . 8 Emperor -would bo ; refusa conrpllsncs . On the 7 ih of Deceafber 3 formidable riot broke out in the neighbourhood of Caaten , which soon extended itself to the foreign factories . The immediate cause is listed to i > t the irregular conduct of tha crew of some ships , and in particular of that of the Fort William , who were allowed to go ashore in numbers without any proper efficar to control them . The mob had , It is said , been excited previously by certain nnti-British partisans ; they scran qnlitted the sailor ? , who had by retreating
from the original place of combat led them towards the factories . The first great object of attack was the British factory ; they burned the flagstaff and the flag , and soon afterwards the windows and doors of the buildings were forced open , the mob entered , and tbe work of pillage commeceed . Firs was then set to the edmesi which was coBssaed . Luckily , the steamer Proserpine , havnig onboard Sir Hugh &ough , arriTed at Canton , snd the rioting ceased . The merchants at Canton , Trbu regained" tLere until the 14 th , aad slso with Sir Seury Pottinger , who was at Hongkong , requesting the latter to order a protectiTe force io be sent to Canton , In order that they might carry on their
commerce m security . This application received a decided refasal from Sir H . Pottinger , who , in kis reply , made some ssvere connntnis on the conduct of the merchants . The "l * itpr VHpt > Tfyio a replication in their defence . All the correspar-dsnee . bas been remitted to the British Government . Sir H . Pottinger , in his last letter to tbe aserchants , dated December 24 , states , that the Yice-3 oy at Ca ^ t ^ Ti had , in reply to the letter addressed to 1 dm , declared his jrreat anxiety , as well as his perfect i "baity , to protect all foreigners ; andliad also expressed M * xeadinesss to repay . such losses as might have been ine irred during the late riots , after they should have been correctly ascertained and £ ubmitted through her 2 &B }» * F * Government

assumption . The question en Mr .

The resolntion w& 3 ordered to lie orei for a day ; but as there were only twelve working days left of the session , it is evident the resolutions on the subject of assumption wonld come to nothing during the present year .

Shropshire Bog Mines . — A very rich vein of lead ore has been discovered at these mines on the property of Henry Lyster , Esq . A fortnight ago the miners , in drawing a level of 148 fathoms , came upon a vein of ore j > rodncing lumps weighing as much as 3 cwt . each , and giving promise of continuing long at tho same abundant rate . In the course of the following day anothervein vastly more rich was discovered in the adjoining mine of Pennerley , on the property of Earl Tankerville and J . A . Lloyd , Esq . On the latter occasion the borers at once cut into a large cavern of ore , distributed in lumps so heavy that several men could not move them , and showing several hundred tons of the metal exposed to sight—being the richest discovery ever made in this part of the kingdom . The mine is perfectly dry , and the ore onl y requires to be wound up to become immediately available . —Shrewsbury News
Last week at the Police Court , Manchester , Nathaniel and Edwin Lucas , carrying on business at Leigh and Maneler-field , as silk manufacturers and dyers , were charged with having in their possession a quantify of silk , which was said to have been stolen in the following manner : —The parties ( the two Lucas ' s ) were said to have entexed tbe ¦ warehouses of different merchants snd tradesmen in the way of business , and then to have taken the opportunity of examining tbe tijfferent fastenings of the doors , and getting to know where the most
valuable ihings were placed . They then informed their workmen , who were thus easily enabled to get into the warehouse by night , and carry away whatever they wanted . Tbe articles were then consigned to the dye tools , so as to defy detection . It is said that property to the amount of £ 10 , 000 has been stolen in this way . A quantity of goods were produced , and where identified by the different manufacturers and tradesmen as part of the property which had been stolen from them . The prisoners were remanded , the magistrates refusing to take bail .
A Ghost Story . —Sunderland is in an uproar about a ghosi ! A young mariner of the Myrtle , near Cairus , saw his sister's ghost at sea , and agrtin a few nights aso , in bis vessel on the Wear . On the latter occasion she promised him a second visit in a- short time , when she would reveal something of importance . A rumour went abroad that twelve o ' clock on Thursday night was the appointed hour , and long befoie that time upwards of a thousand persons were congregated near Sunderland churchyard , to catch a glimpse of the ghust a 3 it wended its way from its own narrow bed to the bedside of the haunted sailor . But although they bad the
patience to remain at th « ir post until one o ' clock in the morning , iu the midst of a dflightful drizzle , their curiosity weut unrewarded . Spirits , perhaps , are not exempt from the roguery of bodies , but take a malicious pleasure in tantalizing poor Billy mortals ; or it may be true , as has baen gravely affirmed , that the public had mistaken the nigbt , and that tho ghost had haunted the young man in bis hammock in the night of Wednesday , and unfolded to him a tale of horror , which it forbade him to repeat to any liviufc person , save and except her husband , who is now at sea . But why could not the ghost itself convey the story to the husband ?
Extkaoedlnart Mahkiage . —The following has bfttn communicated to us by a bigh ' y respectable gentleman , and we shall not make further oomment upon it , than to say , that the facts are anything but creditable ( to say the least ) to the parties concerned On Wednesday week the daughter of a comfortable farmer living in the vicinity of Barne was to have been married to a young man to whom she had been engaged , and every thing was arranged for the interesting event . However , the fickle fair one changed her mind , and on the morniDg appointed for the wedding she eloped witb her father ' s servant boy , who , it appears , had more faveur in her sight . For some time all was consternation and surprise , but after a little reflection , the father and
disappointed bridegroom determined that a wedding there should be by hook or crook , and it was not long until they selected the granddaughter of the former , a child unier twelve years of age ! Tho only thing now necessary for the consummation of the marriage was the presence of his Reverence , but soon that obstacle was removed , and he made his appearance in all due form ; his " fist was greased " with a £ 10 note , and the little girl became a brido . The bridegroom gave tbe father £ 50 to live with him , and thus termmaved an event which has caused feeliags of general disgust amongst the respectable classes in the neighbourhood . We have since learned that the poor child has been sent to a school at some distance from the locality where this strange scene occurred . —Carlisle Journal .
A Laughable Occurrence . —Ob Tuesday last , a large bison or bonassus was forwarded by Mr . Herring , from the establishment in the New-road , per railway , to a collection of wild beasts , exhibiting in Liverpool . The huge animal came encased in a large iron-bound cage or den , and seemed to enjoy his quick transit with great equinamity . He arrived safely on Wednesday morning at the Wapping Btation ; but , in removing him from the carriage , his immense weight completely forced out the bouom of his den , when the . unwieldy beast , feeling kia legs at liberty , bounded off at railway speed , and did not stop until the front of tbe cage C 3 me in contact with a barrel of ale that some brewers were lowering into a cellar of Mr . Hill ' s vaults , in the vicinity of the Custom-house , the head of which was
compleiely staved in , and th& heavy wet soon sa t urated the feet of the passers by . The collision broke the front of the den , which admitted out the head and horns of the infuriated monster , who , wildly glaring and foaming at the mouth , seemed to be debating which of the draymen ( who were , in their endeavour to escape , falling helter-ekelter over each other , ) be should attack . At this moment , Mr . James Lee , who had followed with breathless baste , arrived , a&d , by throwing a blanket over Lib head , succeeded is leading him to the Haymarket , followed by a coecourse of spectators , where he was safely delivered into the custody of his future master . Tbe above occurrence , luckily unattended witb any serious accident , has been the means of attracting crowds of visitors to the menagerie . — Liverpool Journal .
SPRING TIME IS COMING . The spring time is coming , and shower , And many a green leaf , and blossom and flower ; And bly the birds are singing , while echoes declare , The street tones of love that are murmuring thero . The Bpring-time is coming—and balmy the air—With rambles through nature her beauties to share ; When lover meets lover away from the sot , Where woodbine entwines tbe sweet moss-beded grot . The spring-time is coming—old age at the door Looks out with delight oVr the woodland and moor ; The young ones are sporting like wild mountain deer , And the village games now on the fresh green appear .
The spring-time is coming—be choice in your food . Let your health be regarded , by cleansing your blood ; Would yon still against sickness successfully war . Then choose the Loeg Life and the Pills of Old Parr .

EARTHQUAKE AT GUADALOUPE . We learn from the Paris papers that particulars had at last been received in France of the earthquake at Guadaloupej and , we regret to say , that they are of a painful character . The damage of the property was enormous ; but that , is nothing compared with the vast loss of human beings . We give the melancholy details from the Government papers . The Messager gives the following account : — ; A new and cruel disaster has just fallen on one of our principal colonies . The earthquake of Feb . 8
whien only caused partial disasters in several islands of the Antilles , has covered with mourning the grande terre of Guadeloupe , and the important town of Pointe-a-Pitre no longer exists . We lay textually before our readers the report which the Governor-General Gourbeyre has addressed to the Minister of Marine from the scene of the disaster . Orders have just been sent by telegraph to Brest , Toulon , and Kochefort for money , medicines , and a million of rations to be sent immediately to Guadaloupe . The following is the dispatch of the Governor General : —
Basse Terre , Feb . 8 , three o'clock , p m . " An earthquake , which lasted seventy seconds , has just thrown the inhabitants of Guadaloupe into the utmost consternation . This event took place this morning at half-past ten o'clock . At Basse Terre several buildings have fallen down , and a number of houses are so injured as to be no louger inhabitable fortunately , no life has been lost . At Saintes all the houses built of masonwork have been overturned . The quarters to leeward have much Buffered ; persons have been killed and wounded . -I have this moment learned that Pointe-a-Pitre no loager exists . I am abont to get on horseback and proceed to the sceae of the disaster . " Pointe-a-Pitre , Feb . 9 , three o'clock .
" Pointe-a-Pitre is entirely destroyed . What was spared by the earthquake has since perished by fire , whioh burst out a few minutes -for the houses fell . I am writing , in the midst of the ruins of this unfortunate oity , in presence of a population without food and without asylum , in the mid&t of the wounded , of whom the number is considerable ( it is said from 1 , 500 to 1 , 800 !) The dead are still undur the ruins , and their number is calculated at several thousands . Tho fire is still raging . All the quarters of the oolony have eufford . The town of Moule has been destroyed , and thirty persons hare lost their lives . The small towns of St . Francos , St . Anne , Port Louis , Bertrand , and St . Rosa , have been overturned , and in all there ate
dead and wounded . 1 implore , iu favour of the inhabitants of Guadaloupe , that inexhaustible Goodness whioh , from the throne , pours forth so many benefits ! I implore all Franoe to stretch forth an aiding hand to us , as she has already done to Martinique . She will not abandon this population , entirely French , nor leave to wretchedness the widows and orphans whom this terriblo disaster has overwhelmed . I shall speedily seiid you suoh details as I shall be able to collect . I fear that the su ^ ar crop will be lost , for the mills areall destroyed . Famine stares us in the face ; prompt succour is absolutely necessary . Joiaville has much suffered : Petit-Bourg is destroyed . " Gourbevhe , Governor . "
The Messager adds— " By a happy circumstance the soldiers of the garrison of Pointe-a-Pitre had time to evacuate their quarters , and we have only to deplore the loss of three of them . Martinique only felt the earthquake slightly . We hear of no victims or of any important damage . " The Monittur Parisien says— " The calamity was increased by the occurrence of a vaat fire . Two thousand bodies are said to have been dug out oi' the ruins , and it was reckoned that there was an equal number of wounded . At the moment when the account left , tive hundred persons had undergone amputation , and died after the operation . '' The Patrie states that most of the houses , and more than fifty sugar establishments , were desin yed . l ' ne Commerce has a letter from Martinique , dated tho 14 th ult ., from which wo take the following extracts : —
" On the 8 th , the day of the catastrophe which reduced Pointe-a-Pitre to a heap of rnins and ash < S , 1 was going towards the Savannah , about twenty minutes past tea o ' clock , in order to reach the palace , when I heard cries of distress issuing from every side of me . The people rushed from their houses , the women carrying their children in their arms—all hurrying to the open promenade . I then felt the earth tremble under ray feet , and b ^ gau to hasten my own steps . The shocks continued with increased violence for nearly two minutes ; but , fortunately , there was no vertical movement , which would have inevitably thrown down our houses as in 1830 . We soon ascertained that our town remained unn . jurud , but the old and experienced inhabitants
soon decided that what they felt was only the tail of an earthquake , and that we should shortly hear of some great disaster at one or more of tho neighoouriug islands . This terrifying prediction was awfully verified on the 9 th by letters fr « m Basse Terre , which made us acquainted with the total destruction of the finest city of the 1 Antilles . Our Governor and Admiral De Moges proceeded to take measures for the relief of the suffering inhabitants of Pontea-Pitre . The Admiral , on tho sann day , sailed for Guadaloupe , followed by the stpam-frigate Gomer , sent by the Governor . They took with them linen , medicines , provisions , and stores of all kinds , and several surgeons . The inhabitants of St . Pierre dispatched them a largacollection of similar supplies aud money . The first p erson
who has arrived at Fort Royal from tho afflioted island is an old retired captain , aged 72 , who esoaped as by a miracle . He was buried in the ruins , and there remained for more than an hour . He states that , at the moment after the shock , fires broke out and consumed much that it had spared . In this additional calamity the hospital was included ; such of the patients as were able laUo made their escape , but many were burnt alive in the building . No calculation can yet be made of the number of the killed , but it is estimated at one-third of the population . Among the killed arei two distinguished advocate * , M . Borne de Grand Pre and M . Cardoso ; M . Griffier , the avoue ; two 1 notaries ; the wife and seven children of Captain Nadau des Ilets , of tho
Sappeurg , and superintendant of bridges and roads at Point-a-Patre ; M . Devilie , senior , formerly member oi the Colonial Couuoil , M . VL Margan and O'Ogremont , and M . Noirtin and his family , compopod of twelve persons . M . Foiguet , Prooureur du lioi , his one of his legs broken , and M . Farinole , Counsellor of the Court Royale , has a contusion of the tbivh so severe as to create apprehension that it is fractured . These two are the only magistrates of Guadaloupe who have suffered , and happily not one was killed . The best built and consequently the richest quarter of the town has suffered imost , and it is said that the elite of the inhabitants have perished . We are told that at the moment of the earthquake , upwards of 200 people were assembled
at the Cafe Americairi , to witness the drawing of a lottery for a small vessel , and none escaped . Of the detachment of the 1 st Regiment of Marines quartered at Point-a-Petre , only four men wore killed , and one of the captains was Blightly wounded . Some wretches took advantage of the dire confusion 10 plunder . At first thty were said to be negroes , led on by a man of colour ; but this , it has since appeared , was an error , and that tho unfeeling robbcr . s were all sailors—some say Americans , headed by their captain , all of whom have been arrested and confined in the hold of some ship . I have just learned the return of the Gomer , which the Governor is on tbe point of sending to France . Ou her arrival
at Point a-Pt tre , the steam Frigate found the town almost entirely evacuated , and no one of authority to receive the provisions and money she had brought from Martinique . She carried 100 wounded to Basse-Terre , where they received all the aid their condition required . It was found necessary to amputate both tbe legs of one lady , an operation which she bore with truly chri 6 tian fortitude , and she will , it is hoped , recover . When the frigate left the island , Point-a-Pitre was still burning . A great number of bodies had been got out of the ruins , and carried by a schooner into the channel of the Saintes where they received a watery grave . The site of the town had become pestilential , and every one fled from it . "
The following are extracts from letters in the Press : — " Pointe-a-Pitre , Feb . 9 . " Basse-Terre has suffered but little , and although a number of bouses are uninhabitable , all remain standing and no person has been injured ; but at Pointe-a-Pitre all was overturned , except the wooden houses . Immediately after the shock fires broke out in 200 or 300 places togrther , and totally consumed the houses . At present the flames are playing over the remains , and in the whole of the town , which contained 16 , 000 souls , there are not ten houses inhabitable . No description can give an idea of this disaster . We can scarcely credit what we see before oureyca . I left Basse-Terre with the Governor yesterday , a few hours after the accident , and came here . We are about to set out for Moule , which has , alasl been destroyed . The number of victims
is considerable , but much smaller than could have been expected . Only one soldier has perished . There are under the ruins a number of dead bodies , which are being gradually taken put , and the presence of whioh causes great uneasiness , on account of the corruption that must speedily take place . M . L'Haridon , a medical man , who lately arrived , perished in the ruins ; his family was saved . M . Nadan , officer of engineers , has lost eighteen of bis household , thirteen being relatives and five slaves . He succceeded in saving oue of his children . The number of wounded is exceedingly great . Women and young girlB may be seen with two and three limbs fractured . The scene is a hundred times more horrible than a field of battle . Most of the sugar-mills are destroyed , and the crop of sugar-eaneB will be ost . The Governor is adsjirable in the midst of all bid hfflicted population . "

Another letter of the same date says : — " Pointe-a-Pitre no longer exists ; what was spared by the earthquake has been destroyed by the fliiues . It is said that there are two thousand victims at least . Marley and Sainte-Ro 3 e are two residences belonging to Count de Chazelles , delegate of Guadaloupe ; the former is level \ vith the ground , not the Bmallest particle of mason-work being left standing . At the latter the mill is totally destroyed , and the sugar buildings , though standing , are in a ruinous and dangerous state . Unfortunately , all accounts represent the other habitations , at Cinq-Eiang , Moulin-a-Yent , everywherei in fact , to be in a similiar condition . I 11 tho commune of Sainte-Ann , the mills at Chateauprun , Ghissac , and Beis-Jolan , are the only om ! 8 left standing . " Another letter , of February 11 , says : —
"At Pointe-a-Pitre the number of the dead is so great that no interment takes place . They are thrown outside the passes , and the number is unknown . In several places the eahh opened , and threw up water and sand . The hour at which the disaster occurred , although less fatal than that of the similar calami y at Martinique ( sixiiri tho moruing ) , nevertheless considerably augmented the loss of lite , for it surprised the popu ' ation at I breakfast . The shock must have been of exceeding violence , for the mills , which were actual towers , with walls of mason work six or seven feet thick , were completely levelled with the ground . Guadaloupe , which is divided into two islands , separated by an arm of the sea some metres wide , and a few feet deep , s . range
enough ! only suffered in the flat parts . The mountainous and volcanic regions have no serious disaster to deplore . Thus the towns { which have been destroyed are situated in the Grand-Terre , which is the low flat part of the colony . Ou the contrary , Guadaloupe , properly so called , which contains Basse-Terre , the seat of government , has only sightly suffered , although its soil is piaoed over lava , and it holds in its centre the Soufriere , an ever-burning volcano . A mixture of mud aud water waa , it may be remarked , thrown out of the earth in some places . The Soufriere , in its last eruption , also threw out a vast quantity of water and mud , and at
the present minute is sending forth steam in abundance . The loss of property , particularly at Pointea-Pitre , must bo immense . It will fall principally on the merchants . The country parts will no douuc be severely visited , since a great number of milta and other buildings—very expensive matters in the Antilles—have been destroyed ; , but the los . 9 oi buildings , and an interruption of business , cannot be compared to the destruction of a town Gontainin # 15 , 000 souls , where an immense quantity of merchandise was consumed . NeverthtUss , those acquainted with Guadaloupe , and iis elements of wealth , ouaht not to d-spair . "

We have also to report from abroad 975 qr- ' of Wheat ( from Wolgast ) , 1100 qrs of Oacs , and 800 qrs of Beans . Inactivity and tendency towards lower prices have continued to be tho prevailing characteristics of the Corn trade . Wheat generally must be lifted 2 d Dor bushel cheaper than at the close of la ^ t week ,
78 5 d having yesterday been takfii : for the newlyarrived Wolgast , and 6 s 5 i per 70 lbs for fine Polish Odessa . The increased quantity of sack Flour on the mark > -. t has reduced iu value by 2 ^ per sack j and this description having drawn the chief attention of the dialers , foreign has beon almost neglected .

Wuh a change of wind the arrivals coastwise and ftuta Ireland are lar ^ e ; the supplies of Flour fro m the interior kept pace with the demand ; but there is « o accumulation of stock in first hands . At our market this morning there was very little inquiry for Wheat , and we nominally repeat tho quotations pf this duy sc ' tinight .

State of Trade . —The mercantile accounts from India and China , though somewhat chequered in their character , are on the whole , considered favourable ; and they had the eifoct vl giving additional firmness to the market for m . a no Pictured goods yesterday ; many of the manufacturers of wide cloths declining to take orders at the 2 at < s of la at week ; but no great amount of business iwas dune .

The imports < f stock from abroad , since our last report , have consisted of 8 oxen in tbe port of London , and 6 oxen and 3 horns , at Hull , all from Hamburgh . The former were on sale to-day , but were taken out of the market , for the purpose of being strengthened . The condition of these animals was not to say good .
