Loss of the llrig Portland, of llaltnuorc. The brig Portland, Captain 15. Buxton, left this port on Sunday, the 2d Sept, for a Wind* ward Island, and on tho 14th encountered a heavy < gale in lat. 30,30, North, long. 07,10, West, > which increased to a complete hurricane. By midnight the lee bulwarks were nearly all washed < away, and at 3 A. M. the fore spencer blew out ' of the bolt rope. Tho wind had now hauled to J the S. E. and the brig was put before it, but not withstanding every effort to prevent it, broached to on the starboard tack. At half past four she was knocked down on her beam ends with her masts under water, but her lanyards being cut ' away the masts went by the board, and after re maining in this position nearly an houi she right ed full of water, the companion 4 way and hatches . having been carried off and the sea making a complete breach over her. The captain and crew had now gained the quarter deck, with the OX' ception of a boy who was in the forecastle and drowned when the brig went over, lashed them selves to the tafTrail, where they n mains 1 24 hours, much bruised and cut by being forced with violence against the side of the vessel by the heavy sea which continually broke over them. After the first day the gale abated, but it was not until the third day that they succeeded in getting s n\j* thing to sustain themselves with, and then only , two bottles of ale, which were procured by diving, j and divided amongst the sufferers, seven in tmis- ! i her. From this period unti l the twelfth day they had nothing but fourteen bottles of ale to subsist on. On the fifth day the steward died, and on the following day a German named Conrad My ers. On the seventh day a schooner bound to the southard came close to them and evidently was aware of ihe brig’s situation as she made an effort to tack, but refusing slays, kept away and loft them. After being in this situation for twelve days the remainder of the crew were rescued in a slate of complete exhaustion by Captain Ad ams, of the brig Elgin, of and for St. Andrews, New Brunswick, who treated them in the kindest end most humane manner. On tho 30th Sept, they were put on hoard the brig Spinkler, of Bel fast, Maine, bound to Philadelphia, and landed at New Castle, Del. on Saturday morning. Captain Buxton and his mate arrived on Saturday after noon in the steamboat of the Union Line, and received every attention from Captain Trippe, who kindly refused to receive any thing for their far a or passage. / From the Baltimore American. / .From J'<»* I’rtcific. ' Wo are indebted to an esteemed friend for fhc following extract from u letter dated ‘ GuAYAainx., Aug. 6, 1338. Wc are sorry to inform you that Peru is egain in a lamentable stale of revolution. The vessel that sailed from Callao on tho 271 h informs ns that the revolution was declared on. (he, 2 Uh, and by an arrival from Payta since then the same is confirmed —that all the North of Peru, which in cludes the departments of Libertad, damn, Huay las and Pierra, had declared agahtwt the confeder ation. Generals Nela and Siema had marched on Lima with 2,500 men, and had arrived at Chaneay, about four leagues from Lima, where they wore joined by General Obregoso, the Presi dent of Peru, with 000 cavalry from Lima to complete tho combination, and declare the revolu tion against the Prolecloral Government of Gen eral Santa Cruz. There are two ballallions of Bolivian troops stationed at Lima, and General Miller, Governor of Callao, and General Moran, who has CommdPdcd the naval forces have been considered staunch iVietlt's of Santa Cruz—how they will act we do not know y CI, but it is likely they will endeavor cither to put the ic>T* u ' lon down,or hold out in the castles of Callao, as Mil ler was putting water and provisions in the castles. Gen. Santa Cruz is in Bolivia, and had a con siderable force there, and should no revolution be made against him there he will not give up the ship without trying his strength. The expedition from Chili, consisting of thirty-three transports with 5000 men, —including soldiers and sailors, — no doubt sailed from Valpariso on the 4th ultimo, as by accounts from there of the 3d, a part of ihe army had already embarked, and no doubt long ere this have arrived on some part of the coast of Peru to co operate with the revolutionary parly in Lima. Wo arc not at all surprised that this revolution should have taken [dace, as several at tempts have been made. Whether they have ac tually succeeded wc do not know, but think it very probable, as it appeared so notorious. We have great reason to thank tho prudence and foresight of our President Rocafautc, who has so strenuous ly opposed having any thing to do with the ques tion between Chili and Peru. At present we en joy lianquililv here, and people generally arc con tented with the government.” Tub Cotton Chop.— The Wetumpka Fami ly Visiter of thelstinst. says:—Wc have taken some pains to ascertain the truth on this subject, and have no hesitation in saying that there will not be, in this Slate, the largest cotton growing one, too, in the Union, more than three fourths of an average crop. The late bolls have perished, and now that wc have seasonable weather, there can be no hopes entertained, that a new crop of bolls can form and mature, besides, the stand was worse than we have ever seen it. The last year’s crop was 325,000 bales from Alabama. If wc make 250,000, it will he more than we now have right to expect, the present year. No pauty mkn. —The celebrated Dean Swift, in a passage in one of his Essays, thus tclicilous ly hits off the true character of a “no party man:” “A man of no party. — Whoever gives him self this charac'cr; you may depend upon it, is of a parly ; hub it is such a party as he is ashamo ed to own. Fsf, even while he says he is of no parly, you may observe from the whole drift of his discourse, that he is plainly prejudiced in favor of one party, and that, too, always the worst. And the true reason of his not dcclar. ing is, that he thinks the party not yet strong enough to protect him. The justice of the cau-e or the goodness ol the intention scorns to be wholly out of this gentleman’s scheme. The only distinction he goes by is to he politically ol no parly , that he may be occasionally of either. Others there arc, who are really ot a parly, and don’t know it; they carry on designs, which ore kept secret ftfarn them ; and these indeed arc such l insignificant/tools ol a party, that they may pro* t pcrly enough bo said to he of no parly ; they are 1 machines purely passive, and, without any will i! of their own, rbey the impulse of the wheel that t moves them. Uut you shall never hear a man of v true principles say ho is a man of no /until ; he s ileclares he is of a party, if resolutely to stand y by and defend tho Constitution must be called I being of a party, lint the other patty, it seems, t must be divided into two sets: those who aro of c a party, and thof« who are of no party at all,— e With the gentlefien who apply this latter expres sion to themselvts, I would beg leave to reason thus: cither they are oi a party, or they arc not; I if they are, they prevaricate grossly (not to use 1' a more unmannerly expression) while they give ( j out lire contrary , if they aro not, they ought to u be ashamed of sttuh on infamous neutrality, and t of deserting thalcause whey they are bound in ( honor and conscience to defend.” Correspondence oj the Albany Argus.

Gambling on a large Scale.— A letter from Dublin, in the London Times, says that rumors were current to the effect that an Irish peer, who succeeded, on the death of his father, to an estate of £15,000 a year, and nearly £lOO,OOO in tho funds, had lost every shilling over which lie had control hy gaming, even to his life interest in his magnificent entailed estate. Two other members of the peerage are said to have had the plucking of Ihis fat pigeon. From some hints thrown out in the letter, we infer that the “Irish peer” is no other than Lord Powkrscouut, who was in this city not very long ago, and who so grievously disappointed some of our belles, it is said, by after wards marrying a daughter of the Earl of Roden. jY. Y. Com. Adv. Precaution, —The following singular circum stance is said to have lately occurred at Baden. A young Austrian count, having had uncommon good luck at roulette, broughi homo and carefully locked up 30,000 florins—.(about 05.00 U francs.) When he rose in the morning, not only his gold vyis gone, but, to his astonishment, his old faith mil servant, Fritz, was missing also. In about a week’s time, to his surprise, Fritz made his ap pearance. "And whole do you come from 1 ” said the count. "From Vienna." “What have you been there for I —and what’s become of ray money 1” “Why, sir, I thought you would play again, and lose your money; so 1 took it home, and here's your father’s recept for it.” Saturday Night, —lt is good when the week is ended, to look hack upon its business and its toils, and mark where we have failed of our du ties or come short of what we should have done. The close ol the week to each one of us should he like the close of our lives. Every thing should he adjusted, with the world and with our God, as if we wore about to leave the one and appear before the other. The week is, indeed, one of the regular divisions ot life, and when it closes it should not he without its moral. From the end of one week to the end of another, the mind can easily stretch onward, to the close of exisi Icnro. It can sweep down the stream of lime to (ho distant period when it will be entirely beyond human power to regulate human affairs. Satur day is the lime for moral refleefon. When for the mercies of the week wo are thankful, and when our past months and years come up in succession before us, we see (be vanity of our ' youthful days, and vexations of manhood, and 1 tremble at the approaching winter of age. It is then we should withdraw from the business and 1 cures of the world, and give a thought to our end, and what wo arc to ho hereafter.— Jtacbn. Aua.ii Beauty. —Among them was one of the most beautiful girls I ever saw, apparent ly about twenty years of age. She was of a ' dark complexion, eyes black as jet, the inside of her eye-lids was blackened with kohle r her 1 teeth were white as ivory, and her long hair ' fell down her neck and over her shoulders t behind, long enough (or her to sit down upon. 1 She had largo ear-rings, and a silver ring through her under lip, gently drawing it down and displaying her line teeth; through her hair was passed a silver arrow, confining her veil to the top of her head, which was thrown back negligently over her si oulders; she was habit ed in a long blue loose shirt, open at the breast her hare arms were covered with bracelets and amulets, a siring of beads wound round her neck, her loot were hare, and two largo rings were fastened round her ankles. She walked, as all the Arab women do, with a grace and beauty of carriage 1 never saw sur passed; ncr in simplicity and elegance of ap pearance have 1 ever seen a lino lady of Eu-« rope, with her jewels and pearls, equal this plain and simple Arab girl.— Addison's True* els. An Editor hood at all The business of a newspaper editor requires so much of a knowledge of everything, —from the line aria to Ilia coarse arts, —from poetry to matter of fact, and tram philosophy to non sense, that when a man can really become a good newspaper editor, ho is accomplished for almost anything else. Wo have been re minded of this by reading in a foreign paper an account of one ot our brethren in Naples. Dr. Lorenzo Borsini,the editor, and almost Inc sole writer of the two theatrical journals ot Naples, the Globe and Vesuvio, is not only a superior classical scholar, but an equally ex cellent judge of music, and an accomplished singer ami pianist. The severity of Ins criti cisms, and his total exclusion ol culogiurn from his journals, had drawn upon him the animosity of all who were connected with the he&lres; he, in fact, had made an inveterate enemy of each poet, composer, singer mana ger, and proprietor. Still the success of his journals was eminent, and profits proporliona. bly great. One morning last May ho sudden ly made his appearance before the astonished director of the Theatre ol Wan Carles, declar ed his resolution to relinquish his profession Os editor, and assume that of singer. It was not without great difficulty that he could con vince the director he was not playing a hoax | upon him, but it was at, last settled that he j she .VI make his first appearance on the 6lh ult. in the character of Bartolo, in the Barbiere deEeviglia. In the morning of that day, the were filled with the following iuvita rtiou posted up wherever room could bo found for it: — “Littcrari, Maestri di Capolloe, Cantati, Im pressaril, poco content! dequel die vi bo fatto nolla miacamera giorna islica, ven teed ur dimi, col pensicro pure do fischiormt— nw vc nitel” All Naples was in commotion, and the peo ple crowded from twenty leagues around to witness the debut of Dr. Borsini. Tickets were cold at enormous prices. The doors were besieged lor many hours before they were opened, and in five minutes afterwards every place was filled. Numerous boxes were taken by the dramatic adversaries of the Doctor, re solved to rep".y him in kind. The curtain in due lime arose, hut not a note was listened to till Borsini came forward, when an almost uni versal hissing and uptoar ensued. He, how ever, preserved perfect sang froid. and com menced Ins part with a power of voice which soon overcame all other sounds, and by de grees gained such an ascendency over his au dience, that the tumult sank into a profound silence, till it again burst forth, from his mas terly execution, in equally vociferous acclae muttons of applause. Ilis triumph was to complete, that the director of the theatre has made an engagement with him as pritno has, so coalanle, at 120 ducats (400 f.) a night, be ing 80f. more than the stipend of the prima donna, Signora Ronzfi Borsini lias since ap peared as the I’odcsta, in the 'Jazza Laura, with equal success. A Plea in Abatement. — ln one of the Quartet fission courts in Tennessee, one Joe Phillips was indicted for an assault and bat tery. 'The solicitor called him to the bar, and addressed him thus: “Volt are indicted for a misdemeanor, and stand charged in these words; ‘The jurors, upon their oaths, present t that Joe Phillips, laleol the county of , on the 10th day of August, 18—, with force and arms, in and upon the body of one John Scrog gins an assault did make, with guns, pistols, swords, dirks, and clubs, with malice afore thought’ ” “Stop, Mr. Lawyer.’’says Joe, “there was something of it. hut you’re making it a deal worse than it was.” “Well, how was it Joel” says the solicitor. “Why, I and John mol one day on the road, and says I to John, ‘this is a had day for sna kin.’ Then says lie to me, 'Not very bad nei ther, for 1 killed one near upon a rod long.’ Then says I, ‘That’s a lie, for there’s nary sna lie in tins country halt so long.’ Then, after a good many such compliments passed between us, says John to me, says lie, “1 doesn’t milk my neighbors’ cows av some folks do.’ And then 1 hit him a lick with my fist on the side of his head, and then we bad a real scuffle; a lair fight; then just So. And we had’nt no gun, nor p stol, nor club, nor j dirk, neither; so you need’nt bo talking all that nonsense over to the Court when there's no sucli thing; and John says he’s willing to fight again, if I’ll let him strike first.” The Turk and the Englishman. A Mr. Urquhart, who lias travelled ex tensively, and resided for many years in Eas tern countries, has lately published a book of bis adventures and observations, in which wo find the subjoined curious antithetical portrai ture of Turks and Englishmen: “Europeans commemorate the laying of Iho foundation stone. The Turks celebrate the covering in of lire roof. Among the Turks'a beard is a mark ol'dignily; with us, of negligence. Shaving the bead is, with them, a custom; with us, a punishment. Wc take off uur gloves before our sovereign; the/ cover llieir I lands with their sleeves. Ww enter an apartment with our head uncovered they enter an apartment with the feel uncov. ered. With them the men have their necks and llieir arms i aked; with us women have their arms and necks naked. With us the women parade in gay colors, and the men in sombre; with them, in both cases, it is the re. rerso. With us the men ogle the women;, in Turkey the women ogle the men. With us the lady looks shy and bashful; in Turkey it is the gentleman. In Europe a lady cannot visit a gentleman; in Turkey she can. In Turkey a gentleman cannot visit a lady; in Europe ho cun. There the ladies always wear trowsers, and the gentlemen sometimes wettr petticoats. With us the red cap is the symbol of license; with them it is the ha'. In cur rooms the roof is white and the wall i# colored;, with them- the wall is while and the reof is colored. In Turkey there are grada tions ol social rank without privileges; in En gland there are privileges without correspon ding social distinction. With us social forms and etiquette supersede domestic lies; with them the etiquette of relationship supersedes that of society. \Vilh us tlis schoolmaster appeals to the nut horn y of the parent; with them the patent has to appeal to the superior authority ami responsibility of the schoolmas.- ter. With us a student is punished by being ‘confined to chapel;’ with them a scholar is punished by being excluded from the mosque. Their children have'the manners of men; our men the manners of children. Among us masters require characters with their servants;, in Turkey servants inquire into the character of masters. We consider dancing a polite recreation; they consider it a disgraceful avo cation. “In Turkey religion restrains the imposition of political luxes; in England the Government imposes taxes for religion. In England the religion of the state exacts contributions from sectarians; in Turkey tbo religion of the state protects the property ot sectarians against Government taxes. An Englishman will bo astonished at whrtt he calls the absence of public credit in Turkey; the Turk will be ama zed at our national debt. The first will despise the Turks for having no organization to facili tate exchange; the Turk will be astounded to perceive, in England, laws to impede the cir. eolation of commerce. The Turk will won der how Government can be carried on with divided opinions; the Engl simian will not be lieve that without opposition independence 1 can exist. In Turkey commotion may exist without disaffection; in England disaffection! exists without commotion. A European, in Turkey, will consider the administration of justice defective; a Turk, in Europe, will cotf sidcr the principles of law unjust. The first would esteem properly, in Turkey, insecure against violence; the second would consider properly, in England, insecure against law- The first would marvel how, without lawyers, law can bo administered; the second would marvel how, with lawyers* justice can be ob i tained The first would be startled at the' > want of a check upon the central government; > the second would be amazed at the absence -of control over the local administration. \\^ 1 cannotconccive immutability in the principles' of the stale compatible with well-being; they cannot conceive that what is good and just is j capable of change. “The Englishman will esteem the Turk unhappy, because he has no public amuse ments; the ’Turk will reckon the rnortmiscrah o who lacks amusements at home. The En glishman w.ll look on the Turk as destitute' oftastc, because he has no pictures; the Turk will consider the Englishman destitute of (eel ing from his disregard df Nature. The 'Turk will he horrified at prostitution and bastardy; the Englishman at polygamy. The first will bo disgusted at our haughty treatment of our inferiors; the second will revolt at the pur chase ol slaves. They will reciprocally calf each other fanatic in religion—dissolute in morals—uncleanly in habits—unhappy in the developcment of their sympathies and their tastes —destitute severally of political freedom —each will consider the other unfit for good society. The European will term the Turk pompous and sullen; the Turk will call the' European flippant and vulgar. It may, there fore, he imagined fiow interesting, inendly, and harmonious must be the intercourse be tween the two.” An Actum. Scene after Battle —* The battle of Holdin, between Lite Russians' and the King of Prussia, was warmly contes ted; and after it was over, a clergyman went upon the ground, and afterwards wrote the 1 following account of what he saw: , “At one o’clock the cannonading ceased,* and 1 wont out on foot to Solcfln to learn ?rf whose favor the battle bad turned. 'Toward' evening, seven hundred Russian fugitives came to Suldin. It was a pitiful sight; some' holding up llieir bands cursing nini swearings I other.-? pmying and praising the King of Pros-' sia, without lints or clothes, some on foot, oth-‘ ers two on a horse, with their head* and arm* : tied up; some dragging along by the stirrups,’ and others by the tails of the horses. “When the battle was decided, and victory shouted for the Prussian army, f ventured to' the place where the cannonading had been’. - Alter walking some way, a Cossack’s horse carnc running full speed tcAvard me. f moun ted him; and on my way. for seven miles and a halj on lids sido ot the field of battle, I found the dead and wounded lying on the ground, and sadly cut in pieces. The further 1 advanced the more these poor creatures lay heaped one upon another. “That scene I shall never forget. The Cossacks, ns soon as they saw me, cried out — ,1 Valer! dear sir, water! water!’ Gracious God! what a sight!—men, women, and chil dren, Russians and Prussians, carriages and horses, nxen, chests and baggage, all lying one upon another to the height of a man; seven villages all around me in flames, and the inhabitants cither massacred or thrown into the fire. I “The poor wounded soldiers were still tiring at one aiio’her in the greatest exasperation. The field of battle was a p’ain Iwoim*4 fThalf miles long, entirely covered with dead and wounded! There was not room to set my foot without treading on some of them. Seve ral brooks were so filled up with Russians, that they Iny heaped one upon another ns high as ten or twelve feet, and appeared like hills to the even ground. I could hardly re cover myself from the fright occasioned by the great anil miserable outcry of the wound ed.
