THE FAREWELL.

The following Lines, written by Mr. Gillard, on leaving our hospitable friends at Grand Lewchew, speak not only his own, but the general, feeling on that occasion.

THE sails are set,-the anchor's weigh'd;
Their seaward course the ships pursue;

And, friendly signs at parting made,

We bid the land a last adieu!

From crowded boats, that grace our wake,
Where all appear in vestments gay,

Their mute" FAREWELL" the natives take,
Yet, lingering, seem to court our stay.

Slowly the vessels glide along,

While groups from every village pour,
And rushing downward join the throng
Assembled on the sandy shore.
