The swarms ol clusters <if Islands thereabouts are amazing ; not a tenth part of them are ever visited by human beings, and consequently all the strange things in the animal and even the vegetable creation are to he found there ; monsters, as we call them, seem to congregate amidst those delicious spots, he cause they are there out of the reach of man’s destructive power. You have heard ofthe Broh dignag hutterflower discovered by Sir Stamford Rallies in an island of the Archipelago, at a mere sight of which one* of his I liudu servants died of fright;—calyx like the dome of St. Paul’s; pistols like good sized fir trees; pollen in such prodigious quantity that wild beasts are often smothered in it. Sir Stamford likewise met with the Dugong, or mermaid. He could only get a dead specimen ; 1 have often seen the animal n live ; 1 have shaked hands with one, for they are exceedingly gentle creatures. All these things are now pretty notorious- But besides these, unicorns are so plentiful (though they can never be taken alive, as you all know,) that their horns are used as walking sticks by the respectable Malays, and canes by the schoolmasters. The Malay boys require a vast deal of banging to get their alphabet properly, the letters are so difficult to sound, (their mouths often grow awry in the attempt,) and the unicorn’s horn saves trouble, one stroke of it raising twenty large blisters. Then they have tooth picks made of gritlins’ claws—but to the mermaid. “ 1 had often heard of mermaids in different parts of the Archipelago, but I did not credit the stories told me by the native rascals, who are desperate liars. A gray headed old man, however, one dav, upon my taxing him with de ceit upon this point, assured me he had seen one ; and further fold me, that if 1 was desirous of occuiar proof, he could direct me to a spot where 1 should be pretty sure to meet with one of these water nymphs. 1 gladly accepted the offer, and he directed me logo alone to one of the little inlets on the eastern side of the isle of Billiton (I was then on the island of Banca,) where he said, these ladies often disported themselves of an evening, lie cautioned me to he on my guard, and to keep out of their reach, for they were apt to take liberties with gentlemen —that is, loscrab ’i out their eves, slice them in half with a sudden twitch of their tail, and so forth. “ Accordingly, the very next day, I procur ed a meive boat, which could he paddled by one person, armed myself with sword and pistol, but privily launched my frail bark into the blue deep, to.cross the strait of (las par. “ When 1 was equipped, I could not help laughing at the expedition 1 was setting out up on. However. 1 could but do as many have done, whom curiosity has prompted to be spec tators of the washing of the lions at the tower, on the first of April: that is keep my folly to myself. “ I reached the island indicated by my gray bean! Mentor ; it was a sort of quinquangular rock, with a coat of the richest mould, absolute ly swarming with birds, glittering with flowers and shrubs of variegated tints, and a magazine of odours. Had it been a circular form, its cir- ' cumference might have been a mile and a half or two miles. It was evident that human steps were rarely imprinted upon its luxuriant turf. “ Drawing my light bark on a slope ofthe isle, I set it on end, and propped it with a paddle, to serve me as a temporary hut, fori was deter mined to wait some time the issue of the adven ture, before 1 returned and gave the old Malay a horsewhipping which I was resolved to do, if it appeared that he had fooled me.—l remained here two or three days, till I began to bo de 'onred by ennui at this Robinson Crusoe like hfc. I W as almost continually walking along the margin of the sea, picking up shells, pebbles, ‘•’eeds, and other things of the kind, but saw no thing of the maids of the deep. “ One evening, however, just at that glorious Period of it, when especially in Eastern climate a kind of preternatural and enchanted silence reigns around, and when every object appears to emit, as it were, a golden lustre, as if restor mg some of the light it had absorbed in the day irom the departed luminary,—on turning a sharp curve of the islet, I was startled by a shriek, and perceived, rather indistinctly, two hands rai»ed above the surface of the water, at a short distance from the shore, and momentarily, a wo man s head popped up and down, as if the indi ndual was drowning. In the suddenness of as tonishment, I forgot that I was on an uninhabi- ted spot, and, at the moment, felt an almost ir resistible impulse to rush into the smooth water to rescue the sinking victim, thinking it was a woman. Fortunately, 1 recovered my recollec tion in time, and stood still to wait the result. The hands gradually sunk tremblingly beneath the surface, the circles disappeared and all was again still. “ Whilst I stood musing, mv eyes rivetted to the spot where 1 had beheld what I now began to believe might be a phantom of the fancy, a loud, wild, but musical and merry burst oflaugh ter drew my attention to another side, where I saw, as if wading in the shallow water, a tall, slender, but beautifully proportioned female, of an olive complexion, and with exceedingly long dark hair, which she was gracefully employed in winding about her head and temples. 1 walk ed to the edge ofthe beach opposite to her, and taking my stand, in order to observe her the more narrowly, 1 was again saluted by a laugh, which, though somewhat louder than we are ac customed to hear from young ladies in drawing rooms, was quite feminine in its tone, and un accountably bewitching in its general charac ter: it was neither a titter nor .a horse-laugh, hut equidistant from both, the voice reminded me ofthe liquid notes of musical glasses. Never did 1 behold more lovely features than I now gazed on with intense and growing interest. The eyes were unusually large, dark and penetrat ing ; but the aspect of the face altogether was soft and gentle. It was, indeed, a face which, if nature made, the die had been destroyed. “ 1 held out my hands ; she laughed again & held out hers. This was a trying situation, and 1 felt such a desire to draw nearer and converse (if I could) with my fair incognita,—whose un willingness, on her part, to approach, evidently seemed to be the result of. innocence and virgin modesty, That would he wooed and not unsought be won, that I several limes was near wetting my feet. But in one of the lady’s quick motions, unfor tunately—fortunately for me —there appeared, a short distance in her rear, the sharp edge of a large fish tail, shaped like that of a huge salmon’s. This discovery instantly had n wonderfully sedative effect upon me. 1 dare say the lady, fish saw in mv countenance the consequence which her train entailed upon me, and perhaps attributed it to its true cause; for with an ap pearance of arch bash fulness, she turned about, and casting a leering look at me, soused into the water, and was gone in a twinkling.” “ Astonishing ! —But now really, Captain Quizzle, is this true ?” “ True !—so help ” “ Well, well; don’t swear, don’t swear. Pray go on.” “ Well, thought I, my doubts are now at an end. Here I am, —not asleep, nor out of my senses ; and if I have not seen a mermaid, why then, ” “ But did she come again ?” “ You shall hear.—lt was singular enough, that 1 dreamed I should see a mermaid the night before, and that made me, at first, suspect that 1 was really asleep when she really appeared ; for I remember a curious occurrence of a per son s dreaming he was awake when he was all the while asleep, and as the story is not long, and as I may forget it; I will tell —” “Nevermind that; another time will do for that; I want to hear the end of this most extra ordinary adventure.” “ You shall hear it. I saw no more ofthe wa ter nymph that night, but 1 was punctual in my attendance the next evening at the same place. 1 did not wait long before I heard, from the other side of a projecting angle of the rocky islet, an air warbled in such an enchanting strain that I dare not move from the spot on which I stood, to ascertain whence it came, lest 1 should lose a note of it. Its ( fleet upon my whole sys tem I can only describe by supposing that some subtle stimulating fluid passed through every nerve from my brain to my toe. You have re marked the restlessness of a cat when a violin is bowed so as to prolong its sweetest tones, this will give you some idea of my suffering, for such it was.” “ Astonishing ! This account confirms ex actlv to the old notions of the mermaid, who was reported to sing like a Siren. “ Exactly. She appeared to me just as the mermaid represented in old pictures, except that I saw no comb nor looking glass. But to pro ceed. “ When the air ceased, I hastened to the quar ter whence it proceeded, and there recognized the same charming face and form, and was moreover, saluted with the same laugh. 1 re solved to address the sea-lady. I knew the Malay language well, and had a smattering of most of the dialects of the Archipelago , and I thought if she could speak at all, she was more likelv to know some of these than any other hu man tongue. To mv delight as well as sur prise, I found she understood and talked Ma lay ; but she articulated in a very peculiar man ner, somewhat like the mode in which persons born deaf and dumb enunciate what they are ' laboriously taught to utter. “ And now comes the most extraordinary part of my story. “ She gave me an account of the sub-aque ous regions, which excited my astonishment, whether true or false will never be determined, for no human visitant could get back again to tell us. She gave me to understand that a vast depth in the ocean, there was another atmos phereon which the water rested, like our atmot phere upon the sea. I imagine this must be the interior world, of which various phenomena on the surface of the earth afford manifest indica lions. Her description of this interior world was perfectly fascinating : it must be a real paradise. Owing to the density of the atmos pheric medium, and the absence of the princi ple of gravitation of terrestrial attraction, men, and even houses and castles, could float in the air without being liable to any injury by dash ing against one another, or what we call ‘ fall ing down.' The temperature ofthe air, she in formed me, was invariably the same ; perpetual spring, or rather summer, prevailed every where ; and. in short, all was pure enjoyment. What surprised me more than any thing else was, that she said there were inhabitants of this upper world there, and amongst the rest an Eng lishman — Orang Ingleez , as she expressed it. “ How did they get there ?” “ Avc, how did they get there ?—precisely j ■ I the question I asked her. She replied that it r was undoubtedly a matter of difficulty, for the i descent was a very long one, and a living body . must sink very rapidly to avoid suffocation it - . fore it reached the nether air ; but w'hen then . i the said, the lungs soon became habituated to s breathe it. She instanced herself, who could breathe both atmospheres, which was notpossi > ble, if the lower one required a peculiar set of i organs to inhale it. All that was necessary, she i said, was to exclude the air as much as possi . ble from the lungs, hold the breath, and if a per [ son was carried down with velocity, there was J ' , no danger ; and she offered if 1 choice to risk f the experiment, to be my guide and propeller. ' And then she renewed her enchanting descrip- I tion of the central paradise, where nothing dies, . where pleasure never tires, and novelty is ever I new: : Where love is liberty and nature law. , She even expatiated on the delights of the jour ney itself, the luxurious delirium of the rapid whirl, the sights beheld in the passage, the glit tering treasures of the deep, the vegetable won ders of the marine world and the tribes of curious , and harmless beings that sport upon the confines : ofthe two regions, I have often thought of this conversation when your daughter, Miss Green finch, has been playing and singing the pretty ! air— Follow me and we will go i Where the rocks of coral grow,” Arc. “ The Mermaid’s song!” “ The same. I had no great stomach to make the trial, however, having a good many unset tled accounts, I did not like lo be the means of ■ ruining some honest fellows, who were my credi tors, and, besides, I did not relish the idea of be. ing reported felo de se, so I civilly declined the journey.” “ Pray go on : what was the result of the adventure ; I am in a fever to hear.” “We grew very good friends. The sea-lady sung me several most captivating songs, one, in particular, was so exquisite that I thought T should never tbrget either words or music; hut I remember neither. We moved along quite around the island, I walking on the margin of the sea shore,she gracefully gliding through the liquid mass as it by a mere act of volition, for i she seemed to make no exertion, and her tail, — 1 thought studiously,—was kept out of view ; you cannot imagine a more picturesque and beautiful object than she appeared. Where the water was deeper near shore, she sometimes approached closer to me, but apparently always recollected herself suddenly, and turned away again: a semblance of bashfulness and maiden timidity, which gradually divested me of all fear. “Whilst we thus communed together, my fa culties almost entranced with the romantic no velty of the adventure, the charming eyes and features continually beaming upon me, the rav ishing pictures the fair apparition drew of her abode and of the heavenly beings by which it ...' * ~ ' was inhabited, the magic of the solitude and si lence which reigned around us, upon which her mellow voice broke, as it were, into a thousand musical echoes, the nymph suddenly exclaimed ‘hark?’ “ I heard nothing. “ ‘Almost involuntarily, I stretched forth my hand. She glided towards me, cautiously and timidly, and extended hers. Our hands joined. “Instantly, I felt myself held by a giant’s gripe, and dragged forward; the resistance I could offer, though I was a match for most men, was like the effect of a child. Meantime, the dazzling features I had gazed upon with ecstacy, darkened into the malignant r aspect of a demon. 1 was on the verge of destruction —when, unex pectedly, one of my pistols went off in the strug. gle; upon which she let rnc go, and bounced un tier water, leaving me in a cold sweat, all of a tremor, and my shoulder almost dislocated.” “Good heavens!” “You may be sure J did not stay much longer on this infernal island. I soon reconverted my hut to its proper purpose, and paddled away with as much vigor as my wounded arm would allow, fancying I saw a large salmon tail in every curl •/ O ( ! m of the wave. My old friend soon perceived in my face, on my return, that I no longer distrust ed the fidelity of his statement.” “What a very extraordinary adventure, Cap tain Quizzle ! And this is really a fact ?” “A fact?—No.” “No? What, is it a fiction you have been telling us all this while? “Every word of it.” “Psha’l” FROM THE LONDON MAGAZINE. THE HERO OF THE PLAGUE. When the plague raged violently at Marseilles cverv link of affection was broken ; the father turned from the child —the child from the father; cowardice and ingratitude no longer excited in dignation. Misery is at its neight when it thus destroys every generous feeling—thus dissolves every tie of humanity ! The city became a de sert; the grass grew in the streets; a funeral met you at every step. The physicians assembled in a body at the Hotel de Ville, to hold a consultation on the fearful disease, for which no remedy had yet been discovered. After a long consultation, they decided, unanimously, that the malady had a peculiar and mysterious character, which opening a corpse might develope—an operation which it was impossible to attempt, since the operator must infallibly become a victim, in a few hours, beyond the power of human art to save him, as the violence of the attack would preclude their administering the customary remedies. A dead pause succeeded this fatal declaration. Suddenly a surgeon by the name of Guyon, in the prime of life, and of great celebrity in his profession, rose, and said firmly, “Be it so : I devote mvselffor the safety of the country. Be fore this numerous assembly, I promise, in the name of humanity and religion, that to morrow, at the break of day, I will dissect a corpse, and write down as I proceed what I observe."’ He left the assembly instantly. They ad mired him, lamented his fate, and doubted whe ther he would persist in his design. The intre pid and pious Guyon, animated by all the sub lime energy, religion or patriotism can inspire, acted up to his word. He had married, and was rich ; and he immediately made his will, dictat ed bv justice and piety. He confessed, and at ; I midnight received the sacrament. i t A man had died in his house within four anc a twenty hours. Guyon, at day-break, shut him. f self up in the same room ;he look with him ink. - paper, and a little crucifix. Full of enthusi. asm, never had he felt more firm or collected. j Kneeling beside the corpse, he wrote —“ Moul j dering tenement of an immortal soul, not only . can I gaze on thee without terror, but even f with joy and gratitude. Thou wilt open to me j the gates of a glorious eternity. In discover . ing to me the secret cause of the terrible plague . which destroys my native city, thou wilt enable ! me to point out some salutary remedy ; thou wilt render my sacrifice useful. O God !” con tinned lie, “ thou wilt bless the action thou hast thyself inspired.” He b egan—he finished the dreadful opera • tion, and recorded in detail his surgical observa tions. He then left the room, threw the papers into a vase of vinegar, and immediately sought the Lazzaretto, where he died in 12 hours—a death ten times more glorious than the warrior who, to save his country, rushes on the enemy’s ranks, since he advances with hope at least, and sustained, admired, and seconded by a whole army. Physicians who remain firm in the discharge of their duties, while the fears of their fellow citizens are prompting them to fly from conta gion, display that moral courage which is far superior to the physical energy which sustains the soldier in battle, as mind is superior to mat ter.

White & William Hagar, EHi BSPECTFULLY inform the Printers of the I li United States, to whom they have long been in dividually known as established Letter Founders, that I they have now formed a co-partnership, in said busi- I ness, and hope from their united skill, and extensive experience, to he able to give full satisfaction to ail who may favor them with orders. The introduction of machinery, in place of the tedious and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long a I desideratum by the European and American Founders, I was, by American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first j successfully accomplished. Extensive use ot the ma chine cast letter, has fully tested and established its superiority, in every particular, over that cast by the old process. The Letter Foundry business will hereafter be car- I ried on by the parties before named, under the firm of WHITE, HAGAR and Co.
