With much respect, your ob't serv't, CONCH. Extract from the Loves of the Shell-Fishes, an unpublished poom:- Not in the land where beauty loves to dwell, And fashions beings beautiful and rare ; Our picturing fancies, when in dreams they rove, What though our gorgeous sun deny its light- The kindled glory of our day or night, Flowing from out a thousand radiant streams, Nor deem it strange that underneath a shell Than ought that breathes upon our upper earth. And how they met beneath their oft sought shade, TO THE MEMORY OF A BROTHER. And stand with the spring flowers about thee waking, Were these to thee a weariness-the birds, A mother's love, whose only influence fell, "Young brother!" had the sound no joy for thee, Oh! there be yearnings for thee. gentlest one, And there are dancing o'er the joyous earth. The clasping of thy gentle hand, thou child, But I will speak of thee at eventide, And when, alas, shall come the morning's gleam I will remember! and the dream shall be Child of my bosom's love!

The subscriber is now publishing a weekly paper, called the AMERICAN RAILROAD JOURNAL. A princi pal object in offering the proposed work to the Public, is to dif fuse a more general knowledge of this important mode of inter. nal communication, which, at this time, appears to engage the attention of almost every section of our country. THE AMERICAN RAILROAD JOURNAL is printed on a sheet of the largest size, (mammoth) and put up in a couve. nient form for binding, each number containing sixteen large octavo pages of three columns each. The selections, upon the sub ject of railroads and other works of internal improvement, will be from the best authors, both of Europe and America, and will be occasionally illustrated by engravings. A part of this Jour. nal will be devoted to the subject of internal improvement-giv. ing a history of the first introduction of railroads into England and their improvements to the present day. It will also notice the meetings, in different sections of the country, upon the sub} jeet of railroads. The remaining part of the paper will contain the LITERARY, MISCELLANEOUS AND NEWS matter of the NEW-YORK AMERICAN, as prepared for that paper, omitting all political subjects, except such as are of gene. fral concern. The terms of the American Railroad Journal are THREE dollars per annum, payable in advance; and will not be sent without. Any person who will obtain eight subscribers and remit the amount, shall have a copy gratis: and to companies of ten subscribers, who associate and remit twenty-five dollars, it will be sent for $2,50 each per annum. The Journal will be seat for any length of time desired, if paid in advance. It will be-published on Saturdays.
