minding together there.
<\Ve have carried away the spanker, sir,’ shou
,fj the captain of the after guard, as he went
•cross the deck like lightning, in a fold of the
tattced canvass.
‘Let it go, and be d d,’ said the officer of
,hc deck.
•Cant over the spanker boom you lubbers; brace
the yards to the wind.’ shouted the captain, and
went like the turning of the spokes of a wind,
mill wheel.
•Here she comes,’ shouted the starboard cat
head watch, as he jumped from his post and
landed upon the cook’s head, who had at that
moment popped it out of the gaily hatch, to catch
a view of the surrounding country, which accor
ding to the Irishman’s geography, was plaguy
near an island, for it was entirely surrounded by
water.
•Gorry mighty, shipped a sea, with short jack
et and breeches,’ said cuffias he rolled down on
the gun deck with his tormentors in the slack of
the astonished look-out-man s unmentionables,
who followed him like a clap of thunder after a
flash of black lightning.
•You be buttered, you son of a see cook,’ said
Jack, kicking the Guineaman’s shin with his
gtorin-stay boots, and cutting his toasting fork
adrift with his knife. ‘A pretty affair you are, to
interfere with a man oh duty ; why, d’ye see, if
vou had been down in your smoke house, I should
have had a decent fall, and been upon duty with
a whole spanker sheet again ; but you, you old
woolly headed son of Nebuchadnezzar’s grand
inarm, when she eats grass, with Heshic, Two
shick, and to bed they went; you must get in my
way. and injure my two pronged sceptre, and be
blessed to you. Belay there you black jaw, or I’ll
cheapen your ivory.’
After this burst of natural eloquence, .lack
went upon deck ; while the darkey hobbled to
the galley, muttering,‘Ho ho, Mr. Jack, never
mind, I’ll sweeten your broffyet—yah ! yah ! yah!
yah!
‘While this rough and tumble was carried on
■below, we must not for one moment suppose that
■he hubbub above had ceased. When the cat
licad watch sang out‘here she comes,’ he had no
allusion to a sea. A moment more,and the three
Idecker was°near at hand —on one side, and
pt retching out to leeward, was the ledge, and to
Iwindward was their consort, unmanageable, in the
a- t of running them down, ‘Hard up your
pielin,’ shouted the officer of the deck; but it was
|oolate; the Culloden came sweeping down like
a deer before the houuds. Her main mast totter-
Li in its step, her top-sails hung in tatters —the
lib hung flapping against her sides —the waters
gurgled along her careering guns—and, then, to
■complete the horror of the scene, the men at the
wheel were thiown senseless upon the deck.
|She broached to for a moment, then away went
|her top-masts and flying-jib, and down came her
main mast with an awful crash.
? *We are lost!’ shouted an old seaman to his
[mess-mate in the corvette’s rigging.
‘There is no hope,’ said the captain, as he stood
calmly amid a dozen officers, holding on to the
companion railing—‘good bye, gentlemen—God
bless you—you have done your duty.’
‘Oh God,’shrieked a sailor’s wife, as she ran
across that sorrowful deck, and pressed her infant
to her breast, ‘my husband !my child !’ At this
moment the captain of the corvette sprung to her
eide ; he looked at the old quartermaster, her hus
band, who stood at th t wheel. ‘No hope,’ said
the old sea dog; ‘farewell, Bess, and my darling.’
It was enough ; in a moment the sailor’s wife
and child were launched into the deep, and floa
ted astern on a grating, while the captain, with a
fixed look, stood at his quarters.
‘Crash came the Culloden upon her consort,
bnd in a moment the corvette went down in the
dark waters, and the heavy three decker passed
over her.
•Wild was the yell that rose above that mid
night wave to heaven —dreadful was the gurgle
tof the billows as it closed over ‘pennons, spar
and silk.’ A moment, and she rode the waters
like a thing o of life—another, and the sea snake
crawled through her port holes, and slimy things
sported upon her decks of glory.
‘Breakers ahead !’ shouted the master of the
Culloden, as she coursed along on her cruise of
death.
‘We cannot weather them, unless we clear the
wreck,’ said the commodore.
‘Cullodens away, clear the wreck, thundered
the first lieutenant, and throwing down the trum
pet, he caught an axe, and headed the gallant
waisters.
j ‘Away went the wreck, with a tremendous
jrrash ; a single sea broke over the poop, sweep
ing as though a fire had passed over it, and then
|he old three decker hauled her wind, and shot past
fthc ledge like a flash of light.
‘We are clear,’said the commodore, breathing
« long breath—‘can you see anything of our con
porl’s wreck 1’
I ‘A white mass is floating upon the water to
windward, sir,’ cried the signal midshipman,
f ‘lt is a woman and a ch Id,’ said the quarter
blaster ; let us save her. An hundred persons,
pllicers and men, now hung over the sides with
topes—the sea having become much smoother
inside the reef—and soon the quartermaster s wi
(dow and child lay dead upon the vessel s deck.
I ‘No hope,’ said the doctors of the Culloden,
(filming awav from the bodies with eyes filled
with tears.
‘Let them I>o buried with their messmates,’ said
Ihe commodore, in a husky voice. The bodies
were soon sewed in one hammock, and then wish
a seaman’s prayer, they were launched torth to
join the swollen hundreds that danced upon the
agitated billows cold in death.
‘Morningcame, and with it a calm ; the ocean
was like a sleeping mill-pond ; the light house
stood solitary at a distance —the Culloden lay at
anchor in without a spar —a part ol a
wreck rested upon the dead man’s ledge—upon
its laffrail a lonely heron perched, and the wave,
as it gently broke against the toot of the rocks
and washed the sand from the stern, showed to
the gaze ot the beholder the name of the gallant
Blenheim.’
Muscat. — Hunt’s Magazine for July lets us
into some knowledge of our commercial relations
with the Imaum of Muscat, not tu speak of a great
[variety of other valuable mercantile intelligence.
The business of his Muscatel Highness being at
[present of most importance in our eyes, we shall
endeavor to give some account of it, though we
neglect, the remainder of the table of contents.
The province of Oman is in the northeastern
part of Arabia, the coast extending from below
Uulhant to the entrance of the Persian Gulf. It
is governed by an intelligent,-temporal and spirit
ual chief, who is called the Imaum, and resides
at Muscat. Muscat is in latitude 23 degrees 38
minutes mfHh, longitude 58 degrees 41 minutes
east. The harbor is excellent —the population is
about 40,000. The city is tilled with the mer
chandise of India, Persia and Arabia, which is
admirably protected by the laws and police. All
the ports along the coast are tributary to the Im
aum, Socotra, Brava, Zanzilar, '1 emba, Monfia
and other points, as well as Kishraa and Ormuez
«n the Persian Gulf, and a large portion of the
Persian coast around Gombroon. His navy is
nearly as large as ours, well manned and in com
plete order, and he commands it himself. His
power is acknowledged, and his friendship sought
by all the sovereigns around him. Muscat was,
till lately, largely engaged in the opium trade
with China.
In 1835, a treaty was made between the United
States and the Imaum, and in consequence the
Sulla nee is the first Arabian ship ever seen in our
waters. We gather from the Merchants’ Maga
zine that the advantages to be derived from the
above mentioned treaty are as follows, viz:
An in teased supply of Mocha coffee, as well
as of Arabian Indigo, which is nearly as good as
that of India. The “accia vera, or accia Arabia,”
from which Gum Arabic is obtained, is abundant,
and the drug is in great demand here. Dates are
an important article of traffic. Lead and copper
cotton stuffs, camels’ hair, Thibet and Cashernere
shawls, Arabian horses, balsam, frankincense,
myrrh, senna, tamarinds and balm of Gilead are
also among the products and exports of Oman,
and find a market in many ports of the Indian
Ocean. On the other hand the new trade t hus
opened to us, will opon a mart for the staple of
this country, so that the exchange will be profita
ble to both parlies.— JV. Y. Sun.
From the Louisville Literary News Letter.
The Bride.
BY AMELIA.
A fringe of dewy leaves along the branches droop,
That overhang the cottage eaves, where stand a
bridal group;
In fair and laughing bands,the maidens far and wide
Have brought fresh roses in their hands, to deck the
fair young bride.
Before the man of prayer, they slowly gathered
round,
As silent as the floating air, that floats without a
sound,
As with a downcast brow, close to her lover’s side,
Comes forth, in raiment white as snow, the young
and timid bride.
How beautiful she seems, as o’er her soft brown
hair
The sunset flings its go d«i gleams, and forms a
halo there;
While o’er her features play, the love she cannot
hide,
Whose soft expression seems to say, I am thy hap
py bride.
No cold vain look is there, but all is soft and meek;
Upon her virgin forehead fair, and o’er her dimpled
cheek,
A something soft and warm, that round her seems
to glide,
Involves as with a heavenly charm the young and
and spotless bride.
There’s a whispered vow of love, as side by side
they stand,
And the drawing of a snow-white glove, from a
lit tie trembling hand;
And the glitter ot a ring, and a tear that none may
chide, —
Those, these have changed that girlish thing, and
she is now a bride.
No shade is on her brow —she feels without a fear
The trusting love that all may know, who wed in
their own sphere;
For he who clasps her frame, all flush’d with love
and pride,
Bestows on her an honest name, and takes her for
his bride.
Sweet bride! he’ll ne’er forget, when neath thy fa
ther’s cot
He met thee like a violet, within a shady spot.
Thro’ all the balmy air, and breathing world beside,
There’s nought to him so soft and fair, as thou his
blessed bride.
Sweet tie! that, links as one two spirits fond and
true —
What, what is all that time has done, or all that
time can do!
Recorded vows of love, in heaven fore’er abide
And none shall part, save One above, the bride
groom and the bride.
The Snuff-taking Statue. —We have often
heard of mistaking the shadow for the substance;
in the present instance we have to describe the
case inverted. An English officerin Venice walk
ing one day from the Doge’s palace, thought he
observed one of the figures on the clock-tower of
St. Mark’s stoop down and take up something! He
looked again, and lie positively saw the figure take
a pinch of snutF! The officer confessed that he
was apprehensive he was losing his senses, or that
his vision was deranged; when an old woman, ob
serving his consternation, soon explained the seem
ing miracle, by telling him that one of the figures
that struck the hour being out of repair, her nephew
Jarope was engaged as a substitute till the ma
chinery was put in order. — Bentley's Miscellany
for June, IS4U.
Characteristic.—The Federal Loco-Focos
in Maine recently burnt Gen. Harrison in effigy.
They did the same thing of Mr. Madison, and
Mr. Reuel Williams, now a Van Burcn U. S.
Senator, assissing in the outrage.
The correspondent of the Boston Atlas calls
Buchanan, the great advocate of a reduction of
wages, the Bucckancering Senator.
More Facts for Bachelors. —The Jour
nal of Commerce says : “ Os 169 convicts in the
Connecticut State prision 104 were never mar
ried; and of the residue, 11 have lost their wives
and 22 had parted from theirs when the crimes
were committed which carried them to prison.
Leaving only 23 (out of 169) who, at the time
of their fall, remained within the influence of
the conjugal relation. Further: of the whole
number, 108 were intemperate.’

Cotton. —Arrived since the 14th inst., of Louis
iana and Mississippi, 1315 bales, Tennessee and
North Alabama 237, Arkansas 36, Texas 189, to
gether 1777 bales. Cleared in the same time, for
Liverpool, 4009 bales, Glasgow 1209, Cork and a
market 1425, Havre 2025, Havana 374, New York
147, Boston 2492, Philadelphia 264, Providence
240, together 12,185 bales ; making a reduction in
stock of 10,408 bales, and leaving on hand, inslu
sive of all on ship-board not cleared on the 17th
inst., a stock of 45,910 bales.
Since our report of Wednesday morning last the
cotton market has remained in an extremely inac
tive s ate, the daily sales having only averaged
about 450 bales. This inactivity may in some de
gree be ascribed ta a limited demand, as buyers,
generally, have not manifested much disposition
to operate, though it is principally owing, we be
lieve, to the smallness of the stock of cotton on
sale, and to its being composed, in a great measure,
of the ordinary and middling descriptions, which are
now treated vvith considerable neglect. The better
sorts, however, are in tolerably fair request, and,
in consequence of their great scarcity, continue to
command very full prices. The number of vessels
now loading with cotton is unusually large for the
season, and the stock is rapidly diminishing by the
daily clearances. Wc continue our p iC vious quo
tations, remarking that holders, notwithstanding
the present limited demand, are generady pretty
firm. The sales during the week amount to 6400
bales, and for the last three days to about 1350.

transactions noticed in our report of Wednesday
morning last, the market has been rather quiet,
there having been no further purchases for ship
ment to the North, though w e understand that there
are still some orders unexecuted. —7 he sales there
fore, have reached only a moderate extent, and
have been principally to speculators, though some
lots have been taken by the city trade, and for the
upper country. The stock for sale on the Levee
has not increased, the receipts of the last three

consumption, some few parcels have been taken
for shipment to Mexico and the West Indies.

at 20, though some few parcels were sold from

and holders, yesterday, were very firm at $4 25

tor a few hundred barrels fresh, just arrived per
steamboat, but we heard of no sales. There is
none now for sale in flat boats, and the stock con
sists almost entirely of parcels in store. We place
our quotations at $4 25 for superfine, remarking
that prices evidently tend to an advance.

The unparalleled success with which our enter

Those, therefore, who desire to have theirnames
enrolled on our list should have them here in time.
Let our friends be vigilant and active, and our

and if we have a corresponding effort on the part
of the friends of Reform, they shall have light.
