Theie comes a cry friom a foreign soil -
On the spicy breezhs sweeping,
For death bath darkened 'a field of toil,
- And finished another's reaping.
Among the first in the faithful band,
. With her precious sheaves around her,.
And the keen.edged.sicklei n her hand,
At-lier. Master's work he found her.
Shedheld it firisi'in her censdless clasp'
Till her labors.all were ended,
Then laid-it down with a shout,'to grasp'>
The crown which her Lord extended.
There c6mes:a cry o'er the swelling wave,
And the breath of bitter sighing,
For a throng are pressing around a grave,
Where a stranger's dust is lying.
Tliey tell of the deeds'tho stranger wrought
In herheavenly love and kindness;'
They tell of the lamp oflire ehe brought
To the heathen's world of blndness.
They. tell of the glorions cross they greet,
WVhich'he.reared in the land of sorrow,
Where theginiltiest souls find pardon sweet,
And.tde'sadest'cowdrt borrow,
Thiiytell of the freedom that -cross'reveals.
To their weary sin-bound nation,
O ftheir idols crn'shed beenth the.chairiot wheels
.-Of the car of C 1s's salvation.
They mourn th't her kindred. were notnigli
W hen the death-stroke came. to sev'er;

Could weep as it closed forever.

And a sister's voice, that sweetly soothes,

And now the praise of her God is sung,
And his sacred ties are cherished,
Where the chiant of the. senseless idol rung,
And the'hving victim perished.
But the voice that spoke shall speak no more,
In its tone of triumph swelling.
For the wail that echoes from that wild shore,
Of the heathen's loss is telling.

To the Editorof N. 0. Bee.
Dear Sir.-Your favor of the-'12th inst.,
has been received. and with pleasure-1 re
ply to your- inquiries respecting' r. Ril
leaux's'apparattis.
Mr. fR. contracted to furnish me with
an apparatus forthe'fabrication of sugar
'entirely by steam. That the quantity of
molasses should be' reduced to the half of
that produced.by the old process.. That
the sugar madefrom it should be equal to
that produced from a vacuum pan, with.
;out'auy refunding process. 'hat it-should
he capable' of 'producing an ' average of
12,000 lbs. of sugar-within 24 hours,. afd
the fuel consumed should be not 'more than
one-third of the quantity used by the usual
method in open-kettles.
I have finished my crop; and inade, the
last 30 hhds. with his apparatus, from a
piece of my poorest cane. - The prodi
tion of the sugar is -improved hliout-one
halfin value over that produced from the
same cane in my detof kettles. I-a' sat
isfied that with the apparatus Ishall make
the next crop into whitis 'sugar; *"ithoiuf
the use of moulfs'and liquorin'g.- Tid-ap
paratus made at the rate of 18,000 tbs. per
24 hours, and boiled as, much cane juice
as my mill could furnish'; and it is- a
opinion that it can proditcd a much greate'r
quantity in the same period.
The apparatus is very oiigiiy managed,
and my negroes became acqutainted t*ith
itin a short time. To product the above
quantity of sugar, by the old piocks. I
should have employed mylzwo sets' ofket
tIes boiling together. My'sugar' ritill ;ad
the apparatus were driven;at this Rama'
time by my engine,' and' I am convinced
that the bagasse of the previous year,
which generally forrtis about iithird ofrnuy
fuel' would.have been sutficient' to 'Jiave
made my entire erp.
The machine is eleant in its pronor
tions. solid in its fixtures, and occupi'es a
very sr-ill place in ny sugar house. I
must confess that when I first contracted
with Mr. R. I did not imagine that the ap
paratus would have -been so complete.
Every part is arranged with. the greatest
care, and is very durable. It worked I
may say, without any accident, and is
ready for the next crop, as new ajid clean
as it was the first day. I account'as noth
ing a leathern bandi, which was 'temporari
ly employed by Mr.R. to drve' the apa
ratus, instead of a cor.neeiridgrod, which
was then not ready.
I am happy to add that I consider Mr.
Rilleaux as completely successful; tand as
having satisfied every condition o'f the
contract which he pnssdd withine:
I had many opportunities' .of amirit
the ability and ingenuity ofMr. I.; and I
do not hesitate to declare that he'iahighly
deserving of credit, and in every respect
entitled to the full confidence of the arig~t
planters of Louisiana.
Very respectfully yours.

-RUSELLANEOUSi
SIR. YRANCIS :BURDETT...
The London Times gives the fllowing
staten-c-it in elation to the sickness and
death of-Sir Francis.Burdett: .:
Manyreports are in -circulation relative
to the immediate.cause of Sir F. Burdett's
death. We have instituted several iniqui
ries upon tbe,suhject, and the following
facts may be relied upon:-It bas-been
saidii'many influential quarters, and by
individuals of undoubted veracity, who.
were about-the person of Sir Francis, that
the Hou.bardnet.was a victim to whatis
.terme d:the hydropathic system of-treat
ment. -We know for a- fact, that.on the
8th of October, 1843, Sir F. Burdett-placed
himself underthe professional care of an.
hydropothist who'bas an establiehment in
the neighborhood of London. He was:
confidently assured that if he adopted the
"water cure.'The would have no return of
the gout, and-in fact, that all tendency to
the disease wold.he removed. Sir Fran
cis, accordingly. subjected himself. to the
ireatment.. Contrary, however, to the. pre
'lictions of .his- medica viser, early in
Deceniber following -had a returnjof
hjs old enemy4
4.Atthis perid Lady Burdett became so
riouslyill, add Sir Francis was compelled.
.to leave the hydropathic establishment..
IJe-, however, frequently .visited the insti
tunio; audcatinued to useitbe.cold water
renoeliesL.both at the ostablishmenlaud at
lis-ownihget.. Lady.:Burdett (who, al
thougb;lstyrougy recommended, was 'not
permited -to adopt the :bydropatic. mode of
!cure;) died of-scirrhus-ofifhe stomach. She
was -attended by Dr, Fergusson.and Sir B.
Brodied- ,Sir.Francis. -(so- great. -was his
-faith iin thio.plag he:was pursuing. persist
ed..almget"tQ the, very -last in maintaining
that. had.i Ldy Burdett~submitted. to' cold
watert rettmen;,ther-life would havo been
prolbnged&.N-Qa.the ,eryday upon-which
ady;Birdpit wasito..have been buried,
Sir. Frauis . was:seized"wIih an - attack of
hemorrhage from the lungs. Up to the Sn
turday-.previously' to Sir Francis' death
the hydropathist was in attendance, but at
tlat'time:lliss Burdett Coutts perempto
rily refused to allow any more hydropathic
experiments to be tried upon her failier
without the full concurrence. of his physi
cian. Shortly subsequent to this, a physi
cian in the metropolis, who had -frequently
been in attendance upon Sir F., rrceived
acommunicationfrom Miss Burdett Coutts
in which she said, that she bad no hesita
tion in asserting that the enld water treat
ment-had destroyed one of the noblestco
stitutinus ever given to mani; that: it- bad
reduced Sir F. Burdett to a state of great
debility,-from which it was impossible for
him to recover. -
She-also expressed her determination to
resigt, tho further use of such quackeries,
unless- sanctioned by the medical-gentle
rmen whohad been consulted. - The prox
imnie cause-of Sir-F. Burdett's death is
said to have been an afectiot of the lungs;'
andsubsequently of the brain, arising, as it
is stated, from a translation .of the gout
from the oxtromities to:.the above. named
vital qrtins. For this attack he was at
tend.ed by Dr. Parr. Sir F. Burdett was
quite deliriout for at least 24 hours pre
ceding his dissolution, and recognized no
perbpn near his deathbed. .It has been said
that so wecdded was Sir Francis to the un
forunate cold water delusion, that he was
in'the habit of riding out on 'horseback
envelopesl ia -wet towels. .. H~e thought
highly of hydrorpathy. butche .hadl extended
the. qa me. conlidence previously 'to St.
John. Long's. modeof treatment, .as well-as
.tod.emmnopathty.eThe death of Lady Bur
-4ett po.doubi affected:Sir Francis much.
-Iin allusion-to. her demiise,.he was. heard-to
spy qEsboft period, before'his fatal illness
supervenca. that lhe did -not wish for death,
-asc-he had-yet- miuch to do.: Owing to the
suddenL.,pnture of Sir F- Burdett's -attack,
Lady. Burdeti's: funeral, was -suspended.
-The-Jhusband and-wife are now both to be
interred on the eanieoday.

Scene after the Storming of Badajoz.

surprise and concern, instead of finding ev
ery thing quiet, and every body occupied
in attentious to the wounded, and prepar

toxicated men were roaming and reeling'
about, loosed from all discipline, firing in
to the windows, bursting open the doors- i
plundering, violating, shooting any person I
who opposed them, quarreling about the
plunder and sormetimes de'etroying each

tilled by musketry, stiffening in their goro, i

mass of-carnage; whilst the morniog sun- i
