One morning, at lire > >t end of Ja maica, she was surprised by that ci .ous phenom cuon a waterspout, that threw h • completely ov cr, and the schooner disappeare leaving the '-wmmander, eight men and her c , that lortu- u *teiy had not t eon lashed, fiorfting n a calm un -1 '-“led sea.

All Was now wild commotion : caution and order had given place to paralyzing fear, and each man grasped madly at the boat; but providentially for those in her, the ravenous monsters carried otf in their jaws, every floating man, befoie he could upset the boat, in his mad efforts to save himself from the horrible death in view. The violent struggle o* the monsters for the prey, when two of them seized the S;qpe person; the imprecations and oil times prayers of those in the boat, which floated in a sea ot blood, as they attempted, by sTetching their to save their sinking shipmates, who, with starling eyeballs and wild gestures, cried to them for succor, —the scene is too dreadful further to contemplate, or fully attempt to portray ; the d. • id r ality is often endured by those ‘ who go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great watei s.’ 1 ho wretched youth in command was, by the exertions of the iads in the boat, extricated from the jaws of two ravenous monsters, each of whom had seized and carried off a leg, and the bleeuing trank of the youth was hauled into the boat, to undergo a moie languishing death from the loss of blood ihe poor boys, nearly dead with fear and apprehension, did their best to stop ihe bleeding by passing some rope yarns arou;.d the stumps, which were greatly shattered and jagged by the teeth of ihe monsters, who had, apparently splin tered the thigh hone up to the hips. Heavy groans attested the sufferings of the helpless youth, but I hey got tainter and fainter, as he extended his han I towards the island with an imploring look of anzuisn. till welcome death relieved him from his intolerable misery. The death of their commander under such shock ing circumstances, left the youths, (for they were but stiiplirgs,) in comparative quietude. With heah bowed upon their knees, and iiearts paralyz ed with fear, and nearly broken from the distiess ing scenes they had witnessed, afraid to look each other in the face, where ghastly despair sat en throned they shuddered at every shock the boat sustained from t(e ravenous fish jostling and cross ing her in ail directions, being attracted by the taint of blood issuing from the ill fated commander. ‘The devils will be in the boat or upset her if we do not throw the body to them ; lend me a hand, Tom,’ and overboard went the useless tiunk of a formerly good looking youth, but a few hours since loving and beloved. Most true, that 4 in the midst cf life we are in death.’ The disappear ance of a host of (ins, diving for the body, gave breathing time to the lads, who threw a des pairing gaze on the wide and open sea; the loom of the blue mountains, seen in the dis tance, alone soothed their inquietude; but they were devoid of any means of reaching it; no oars, no sails, and the worst of all the negatives, no Iresh water. But they dipped their upper garments alongside, and placed them on their fevered bodies; by which they absorbed moisture sufficient to keep them from maddening with thirst. One of our nu minous cruisers fortunately took them on board — more fortunate than the Go-along’s gig, who, with tiie eapl n and crew, Ijave never yet been heard of, though it happened long, long ago, as detailed in my ‘Nelsonian Reminiscences.’ From Fraser's Magazine . " The Jews. The present physical, moral, and social condi tion of the Jews must be a miracle. We can come to no other conclusion. Had they contin ued, li om the commencement of the Christian era down to the present hour, in some such national state in which we find the Chinese, walled off from the rest ot the human family, and by iheir selfishness on a national scale, and their repul sion of alien elements, resisting every assault from without in shape of hostile invasion, and from an overpowering national pride forbidding the ini rod iction ol new and foreign customs, vve snouid not see so much mystery interwoven with their existence. But this is not their siate ; far from it. They are peeled, and scattered, and mumbled into fragments; but like broken glo baies of quicksilver, instinct with a cohesive pow er, ever claiming affinity, and ever ready to amal gamate. Geography, arms, genius, politics,and foreign help, do not explain their existence ; time and climale, and customs, equally fail to unravel it. None of these are or can be the springs of their perpetuity. They have lived under the re gime of eveiy dynasty; they have shared the protection of just laws, the proscription of cruel ones, and witnessed t .c rise and progress of both : they have used every tongue, and have lived in every latitude.—The snows of Lapland have chil led, and the suns of Afr.ca have scorched them. They hav* drank of the Tiber, the Thames, the Jordan, tho Mississippi. In every country, and in every degree of latitude and longitude, we find a Jew. Il is not so with any other race. Em pires the most illustrious have fallen, and buried the men that constructed them ; but the Jew has lived among the ruins, a living monument of in dcslruclibi ity. Persecution has unsheathed the sword and lighted the fagot. Papal supersli'ion aim Moslem barbarism have smote them with unsparing ferocity, penal rescripts and deep pre judice have visited on them most unrighteous chastisement, and not withstanding all, they sur vive. Robert Montgomery, in his Messiah, thus expresses the relative position of the Jews: “ Empires have sunk and kingdoms passed away, But still, apart, sublime in misery, stands The wreck of Israel. Christ hath come and bled. And miracies and ages round the cross A holy splendor of undving tiulh Pieserve ; 1 ut yet iheir pining spirit look's For that unrisen Sun which prophets hail’d, j And when 1. view him in the garb of wo, A wandering outcast by the world disowned. The haggard, lost, and long-oppressed Jew, ‘ His blood BE ON us’ through my spirit rolls In fearful echo from a nation’s lips. llememLeied Zion ! still for thee awaits A future teeming with tiiumphai sounds And shape of glory.” Like their own bush on Mount Horcb, Israel has continued in tfie flames, but unconsumed. They are the aristocracy ol Scripture, reltot iheir coronets —princes in degradation. A Babyloni an, a Theoan. a Spartan, an Athenian, a Roman, are names known in history only; their shadows alone haunt the world and flicker on its tablets. A ,Jew walks every street, dw’ells in every capi tal, traverses every exchange, and relieves the monotony o. r the nations of the earth. The race has inherited the heir-loom of immortality, inca pable of extinction or amalgamation. Like streamlets from a common hi ad, and composed of waters of a peculiar nature they have flowed &. mg every stream, without blending with it, re ceiving its color or it flavor, and traversed the surface of the Globe, and the lapse of many cen turies. peculiar, distinct, alone. The Jewish race, at this day, is perhaps the most sinking seal of the Sacred Oracles. There is no possibility of accounting for their perpetual isolation, their de pressed nut distinct being, or any grounds save those revealed in the records of truth. Their aggregate and individual character is as remarka ble as Iheir circumstances. Meanness the most abject, and piide the most overhearing—ti e de gradation of helots, and yet a conscious and man .fested sense cf the dignity of a n yal priesthood ciouching, cozening, squeizhig, grasping, on the exchange, in the simp, m the world, with no i nig too low lor tnem todo, or too dirty, if profi lahle, for them to pick up ; and notwithstanding in the synagogues, looking back along many thou sand years to an ancestry, beside which that of our peers and princes is but of yesterday ; re gardmg justly, Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, as tiieir great progenitors, and pressing forward, on the wings ot faith and hope and promise, to a ong-expecled day when they, now kings and ponces in disguise, shall become so indeed by a manifests;‘ion the most glorious, in a dispensa tion tne most sublime. The people are a perpet ual miracle—a living echo of Heaven’s holy tones prolonged from generation to generation.

O B I T IJ ARY. Died at his residence in Burke county, on the 26th ult., after a long and severe illness, Mr. Ed ward Hatcher, in the 4Tth year of his age. In bis death, the community have"lost a kind "friend and an excellent neighbor; the county a valuable citi zen, and the church an indefatigable and zealous member. As a man, his intercourse with his fellow' crea tures was marked with that fairness and open dcal ing, which characterizes the man of integrity, who t looks boyond the verge of time. As a friend and / neighbor, he was kind, sociable and ever ready to , bestow his advice or assistance where it was most | needed. As a citizen, his deportment was marked 1 by a strict rogaid and deference, for the lawsiunder j which he lived. As a Cliiistian, his conduct was ! such as comported with an humble follower of the i meek and lowly Jesus. As a member of the Meth odist Church ’or the last eight or nine years, the ! example he has left behind is worthy of our imita i tion. The resignation and placid serenity which j soothed his last moments, declare that he had lived up to w’hat he protested; and that he, in whom we | should put our trust, was with him, and that ■ his rod and start did comfort him. With submis s;on and reverence, did he bow to the will of his j Maker, and died with the full assurance of a blcs i s“d immortality hereafter, i hough dead, the re membrance of him still lives embalmed in the teais ol his surviving relatives, friends and acquaintan ces. Friend after friend departs ; Who hath not lost a friend ? 1 here is no union here of hearts. That finds not here an end. Were this frail woild our final rest, Living or dying none were blest. There is a world above, Where parting is unknown ; A long eternity of love. Formed for the good alone ; And faith beholds the ying here, Translated to that glorious sphere ! Thus star by star declines, Till all are pass’d away ; As morning high and higner shines. To pure and perfect day : Nor siiiK those stars in empty night. But hide themselves in Heaven’s own light.
