On handing to our numerous and respectable subscribers, the Gazette of Tuesday, we also delivered to them the hopes and expectations we entertained of being able, through arrivals from Europe, to make its successor the vehicle of important and authentic information, and the rectifier of the errors of Public Report: - but we are again disappointed, and, of course, must, however unwillingly, extend the same to others.
The unpleasantly delayed arrival of the Packet, and the long-expected Mercantile Vessels, will afford some colour to the suggestions which perhaps have, or will be, made to the public, by those who delight to be premature reporters of unfortunate occurrences: but, for our part, though as deeply interested as any one, we entertain no serious apprehensions of their safety; knowing, as we do, that, at this season of the British year, a wished-for departure from its coast, is often forbidden by a Westerly Wind!
Nor from America (that seat of political agitation, and dubious intent as to its future conduct towards a country (England) which it ought, for its own ultimate welfare, to be in a state of eternal amity with;) has a vessel arrived in our river since our last: which is another case of regret, though not of such magnitude as the first. - From Barbados too we are without arrivals.

Vessels ENTERED and CLEARED.

IRISH MUSIC.

Mr. Editor,
Sir,
It may be gratifying to the Irish part of the community here, to know, that their native melodies, which, like their country, have too long experienced the neglect, or somewhat worse, of the vulgar great, are now publishing in a collected form; the music arranged by Sir J. STEVENSON, - the poetry of Mr. T. MOORE. - A genuine Son of Erin will doubtless lament the loss of those wild, heart-thrilling strains, which he has often breathed with rapture in his native tongue, but he will find something to qualify his regret in the admirable compositions of the Anaereon of his country - Moore!
The following is an unpublished specimen of the poetry intended for the Irish Melodies:

Fly not yet! 'tis just the hour
When pleasure, like the midnight flower*
That scorns the eye of vulgar light,
Begins to bloom on sons of night,
And maids who love the moon!
'Twas but to bless those hours of shade,
That beauty and the moon were made!
'Tis then, their soft attractions glowing
Set the tides and goblets flowing:
Oh, stay! on, stay!
Life so seldom weaves a chain
Like this to-night, that, oh! 'tis pain
To break its links so soon!

Fly not yet! - the fount that play'd
In times of old, thru' Ammon's shade; #
Tho' icy cold by day it ran,
Yet still, like souls of mirth, began
To burn when night was near!
And thus shou'd woman's heart and looks,
At noon be cold as winter brooks,
Nor kindle 'till the night returning,
Brings the genial hour for burning!
On, stay! oh, stay"
When does morning ever break
And find such beaming eyes awake
As those that sparkle here?

* Night-blowing Ceres.
# Fons Sulis in the Temple of Jupiter Ammon.

To CORRESPONDENTS.

It is well that Miss LUNA informs us, that the Poem she has sent is on the Fire-Fly, for we should perhaps have made the ludicrous mistake of dedicating it to the Lizard - it being certainly more descriptive of the latter than the former.
We shall be happy to insert any communication from the pen of ZO, of Berbice, being conscious that it will be equally honorable to both the author and publisher.
