'fb follow ins is an extract from an excellent essay on the Physical Education of Children, by Dr.

Kichard Borke. of England There is- but one subject more la which I can now refer; this is cleanliness of the entire body, as it affects the health of children, the neglect of which in the early years of childhood, is productive of the greatest mischief. Much of this may be ascribed to the low order of intellect which generally predominates in those who have ihe care of ch.ldren. Could we but raise this class in the scale of moral and intellectual beings, we should add largely to Ihe com-furis and the health of children. Such a sclivme is I fear impracticable.

We cannot hope to reform our present system on a scale aulficiently extensive to be practically applicable to large communities, so long as nurses are chosen from that order of human beings, whose reasoning faculties where children arc concerned, are limited, to eating, sleeping, nnd physicking. Now these, in their way, are all well enough, Wut in reality constitute a small portion of the several items which should occupy the whole soul tiiose Firt Place Dr. Nathaniel Miller.

Feeding Infants.

A young lady with whom we are acquainted gave birth lately to her first child. The little one was about a fortnight old when we asked a lady how it and the young mother. The mother is doinfl well" she answered but the child is very cross and it is not to be wondered at, for they are all so pleased hey seem hardly to know what they are about. The mother feeds it, and then the sister feeds it, and ihen the grandmother feeds it, and then the nurse feeds it, and thus they make Ihe child ill." Our friend was right. We should like to have shown the young lady the stomach of a new born infant now in our museum.

We lake the following allecling passage from a letter in the Commercial Advertiser, concerning the execution of Baron at Rochester, on Friday Last evening, however, he relented, confessed his guilt, and acknowledged the justness of the sentence, and I am told charged upon his mother the first cause of his transgression alleging lhat ihe first improper act within his recollection was the stealing a few shillings, which came to the knowledge of his mother, who, instead of correcting, raiher approved the act.

'Til true that the Harp of the Poet lies sleeping But oh, would you have it from slumber unbound, When the spirits of melody bend o'er it weeping And fearfully draw from the Lyre a sound For a voice hath gone forth from of thaOceaa, The themes and the scsnery of Liberty's clime, Can never awake in her sons an emotion Of rapture of feeling, grand thril ing sublime 'Twss thus as I aat by a dark rolling fountain, My harp gsvs its tones to the whispering gale, When la! from the distant and pine covered mountain I saw a rich splendor flash dowa on the vale, 'Twss Columbia's Genius, whose eyes gave the glory I Around her tall brow were the wings uf the Stem, And the scenes which have chequered her undying story Were traced on the robes that enveloped her form Awake from thy slumbsrs!" the spirit cried, glowing With the lustre that fell from her own sparkling eyes, No themes for ihe Poet when brilliantly flowing Yon Cataracts min er the storm of the skies No themes for the Lyre 7 Behold the bright River How gloriously under the Heaven it shines, While ihosun-light of Eve like an archangel's quiver mugs splendedly over Us towering pines I No scenes for a Bard 7 Look abroad os Ihe billows Where Perry has gallantly written his name, And still on old Erik the Thunder God pillows His forehead of fury in garlandsof flame Hark hark from the blue of the Heaven hung o'er us 1 he proud Bud nt Liberty utters his scream, As ho mounts to his Idol, and proudly before us, Is lost in its light, snd unfolds in its beam."

From the National Intelligencer. The late Commodort Rogers. Int remains of this distinguished veteran officer of the Navy were not hrnuzht to this city for interment, as had bees expected by his friends here, but were committed ta the tomb in Christ Church burying ground, Philadelphia. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon, from the residence of Commodore Bid Jle. It was attended by many offioers, naval, military, and civil, snd was escorted in procession by a detachment of Marines, and a number of Ihe Uniformed companies of the city, ordered nut on the occasion by General Prevost.

The aall was borne hy officers, chiefly of the Navy, among whom were Commodores Stewart and Uiddle. The funeral service was performed by the Kev. Dr. Tyng. During the movement "frfhs procession, minute guns were fired at the Navy Yard, and alter the interment a volley was fired over the grave hy the Marines.

Having thus Mowed tbe mortal remains of this brave ollicer to the beurn appointed for all the living, the occasion seems fit lo recite the leading incidents of his active public life, which is attempted in the fol lowing hasty sketch Commodore John lingers entered Ihe JMavy as ft ieiiienaut in the vear 1793. He was 1st lieutenant ef the Constellation in the action with the Insurgent. which resulted in her capture. II is zeal in perlorm-iog his duty on the occasion, and complying strietly with the orders ol his comman ier, Commodore Truxton, was, in Commodore T's language not to he surpassed." After the action lbs command of I he Insurfjente was conferred upon him. With Midshipman D.

Purler, (ihe present commodore) and 11 men, he look possession of the prize, and commenced removing her crew te the Constellation but before this cnuld be dene, the ships were separated in a heavy gale of wind, and 173 prsoners were left on board to ha guarded by Lieutenant lludgers and his handful of men, whose situation was ren 'ere I peculiarly perilous hy the circumstance of there being no handcuffs or shackles nn board to e-. cure Ihe prisoners, who manifested a disposition to retake ihe prize. The encrurv of Lieut. Uarers. as sisted by the gallant Midshipman Porter, conducted the prize salely into at.

Kilts, Returning to ihe United Slates, Lieut. Rogers waa commissioned a Captain in the Navy, in considera tion ot his highlymeritnrious conduct and.knowirquau-fieations. He was appointed to command the Sloop, of War Maryland, in which vessel he cruised in the West Indies fitr many months, rendering important services. In 1801, "he sailed in the Maryland for. France, with Mr.

Dawson, sent as a diploaialic messenger to that Court. hi 1802, he was appointed to the command of the.

In 1804, he was appointed lo Ihe frigate Congress, and proceeded to (he Mediterranean as part of aH squadron of vessels, under ihe command of Commo dore Barron, sent thither against Tripoli. From Commodore Barron's extreme ill health, he resigned the command ef ll.e squadron in May, 1805, to Commodore Rndgers, wlmse decisive conduct snort disposed Ihe Bashaw of Tripoli tit make peace with us, and in less than two mmtlis after the command devolved upon him, a treaty of peace was onclnded, with that Power, on terms dictated by him and Colonel Lear.

In 1 8 1 'J the command nf a squadron was given to him. He dashed inlo the European seas, made a number of captures, most which he from necessity destroyed, returning triumphant after an absence of more than three months. At the time he sailed a number the enemy's vessels were on our coast, exceeding the Commodores squadron i1)rce. These he successfully evaded, and by draw- EonRhe aid of the force under his command. After ihe war, he was appointed Commissioner of Ihe Navv, and presided over that hoard for several years.

He was mainly instrumental in making re- txulattrns which have conduced to the economy ol the naval service. He was offered the apoiniment. of Secretary of the Navy, but ileclined it. Havinjf, acted as President of the Board of Navy Commissioners about ten veers ago, the President invites! him to take command of the Mediterranean sqead-. ron, mentioning considerations, inducing him to oo so, highly honorable lo the Commodore.

He had much intercourse with the commanders of other naval Powers, and was hel I by them in high The ship was particularly distinguished for her fine condition at all limes, and the high state of discipline maintained on board.

The Commodurc, his accomplished Capiain, and this noble specimen of Ameileart naval architecture, were objects of universal admiration. Returning to the United Slates, he was again appointed President of the Board of Navy Commis si me and continued to d'sehai-ge with great fidelity 'and eeal the ardous duties of lhat elation, till his con and hia mind ex- smuunn was ureraiiy worn urn, nausieo. in ine service. lie then retired mads a ip England in the hope of recovering Ins health. and was there received with the kind attentions which were gratefully remembered till his last moments.
