From WaldirS Libra.;. ORIGINAL CORRESPONOKN'tn. U. S. Ship Psacocr, at Set, May 25, 1836 Oh * my friend, you little imagine how tc riiousis becoming this voyaging in the East— There are, to be sure, mmy curiou < and nor. cl things constantly presenting themselves, but they do not compensate me for the miser ies we undergo, which are increased by the reflection that at home every thing is delight ful and pleasant. For a month past we have had neither bread, nor flour to make it of, and we are under the dire necessity of eating rice inAcad. which the seamen assure me is almost entirely composed of water, and those who live on it are liable to become blind. Mv own feelings strongly dispose me to think tills is correct, for 1 am either getting blind, or this ink. has grown very pale. I trust, however, you may be able to decipher this most melan choly of all my letters. Last evening at sunset, when, at usual, the band was playing on the quarter-deck, I took my station oa the Uflrail, with many others, to look at a grand and soothing scene before us. The gnest island ofllai-nan.jnstal the entrance of the GulfofToitquin, wltich is as large as Ireland, was not mure than ten miles oif. Mass es of hravey clouds had gathered over it, forming a huge, dark vault, into which the peaks and tops of the many mountains and bills of the island rase in a most picturesque manner. In the foreground floated a light, white scud, and the whole received the rays of the setting sun, which were reflected in a thousand tints. Doth vessels were rolling be fore the wind, and glancing over a smooth sea at the rate of sis knots. How beautifully swelled the cloud of canvass that swept the little Enterprise over the ocean. The band played J< Home, sweet hoax’.'* Oh 1 thought I, there they hare plenty 1»< at and drink—oh, for a twist loaf and a lamp a I fresh butter. 1 looked at the selling sou, and wished to sen I by him, as he departed to ruUM- you people on the other side of the world to a wow day, n message of kindness, but he urns off and left the ligatening of these skies to the m ton and stars,— and rae to send my message by the usual slow process of pen and paper. The evening, like many otlins of late, was spent on the forecastle, where our half -t;.rv ngcondition begot mein lirs of other lions, and the good things of this l.fc. ‘ M h it would you give, now,' said a long, tall, slim forctop man, named Stephen, * fur a beefsteak and ingius, with plea y of ‘soft tommy* at that, and may be a dish of codec* ?’ ‘A month’s pay, by G—!’ exclaimed » hun gry -looking, httle forecastle-man. ‘When 1 get paid olf, which mist he in a year. I’ll have me a turkey, shilled with sasingers, ami wash , her down wi; It grog with no water in it, and ( uo man sludi noac it—Til cat every hi: my-] self.’ ‘ Vou in iy h tve your turkey, if you only let [ me have,’ said a third, • .soilie lived fish mid I apple dumplings.’ | •tVcIl, them’s all mighty good, hut 1 goes for i codfish and pelaJies, twice laid,’ said a fourth. ! •Jive lur a4,/<o'leg o' muttun, with them little j green, sour-tasted peak, nuddriaved hutter and i jiarslcy.’ * That’s not bad'—Here I must confers na- ■ lure got the better of me, ol d 1 was obliged to wipe the corners of my mouth, which 'was running over. 1 was a silent spectator, but not the only one. A marine, in his suit of gray, eat high above the little group that had gather ed on the deck, who, at every dish named, seemed to move his s. at a little, as from the discomfort of his pod,ion, and inclm d his ear i closer towards th.-speakers. The night wiw very clear, moonlit and starry. Except the noise of the ocean under tits oo >vs, ai it. was dashed off in a furrow off lam, right mid I.■ f as the ship rolled onward, nil was .still. ‘That’s not bad,’ repeated .Stephen ; ‘hut ; if you don't like my beefsteak and ingins , I what do you say to u great big dish of human 11 cpgs " ‘ Ham and eggs,* groaned the marine, 'm it- 1 cents of deep sgony, *oh, Gt.l! Ha.n :ui 1 eggs.’ And he slowly gat down from hiss, at. | walked away with his eyes turned towards hr moon, groaning between his half dost d li p t, 4 Ham and egg..’ The poor fellow, thou flit 1, how much he must sutler, living as he d ties now delusively on beef and pork, hard ;.-ail ed, and rice. From eating, the conversation turned u p m ; various animals, and the.r design, and t in uses of their ditl'eront parts. At laslJ sigl Stephen said that he had often woadcrod • troy I wo didn’t always have the broad tail sheep on board ship, because it is the most singula fly provided animal in the world, “idix of’ei n,” said lie, “ would keep n ship's company for : ever in fresh mutton, if they woiildu’t oat th; tails. Vou see tins is the must curium esl of all sheep, and you can gel plenty of Vir. ill the Cape of Goad Hope. The way you in tsl do, always to have mutton out «f ’em wl mi you go to kill is, wrap Ins tad iu a blanket no as to keep X warm, and when it's killed, y on leave about two inches of the back bone wi ih the tail, and then lay it away in a snug, d ry place. It you do this carefully, (you see, tl 11,- broad tail of a broad-: .id sheep is just like il nr root of a tree,) in about six weeks il will sprout out into a lamb. We had soma o i board of au lug.email 1 sailed in, and tli ) only thing I could sec against il is, that thosi i young growing lambs, ss they can't got deal • of the great lug tail, keep crying and bleating ail the while, so us nobody can sleep lor the bloody thtags, no way you can Kx it.” “ Steve,’, said the captain of Hit forecastle, an old weather-beaten tar, “ if it hand’nt bap. pened that i have seen some things in my time as bird as that sheep yarn, damn me if 1 | could believe it liut 1 was ouee up the Sai son river, hero just astern of us, iu Cochin > China, where they have eggs, moat as good to carry to sea as them broad-tail sheep. Them fellows likes rotten eggs better than fresh ones, and you buy (rush eggs at half price. We bad some of ’em atiorad, uu I three days after we gut to sea, they began to hatch out of themselves, and as they were j very large eggs, tiro chickens was big enough , to eat iu a week, so we bad plenty of (rush | grub ail live tame.

At Jast you i o dd.i't hear but one; and when tile shells was broke we found non had killed t'other. The captain kept the liveonde,and sold ’em for twenty dollars e-piece in Man ila, ■where tliey are very devils for cock-lights. ■Now, you see some eggs below now that is hutching, because it is so hot on the bi rth deck, and you can believe what I tell you. J3ut the queerest feller of all was one tun .steward had. When they broke the shell, which was very haid, we found in it a little Jien sitting on thirteen dear JiUlc eggs !” I leave you to believe or not as you please ; tout I cannot credit these stories, though there is no question about the eggs h itching now ■on the berth-deck, which is actually as hot as an Egyptian batching oven, uiul ihus the phe nomenon is accounted for, I retired to bod, my mind now thinking of home and something to eat. Ai list I red a sleep, and begin to dream of seeing the sailors, as I do almost every dav, eating rice mingled with their ten. Fr-in that 'i thought we arrived at New York, and straight I walked to a celebrated eating house, the name of which I do not remember stilus moment. “ Beefsteak without gravy ” “Go ming, sir—beefsteak without gravy in No. 7-" This seemod to be echoed along the great hall on which numerous htila boxes o pened, and at last seemed to be answered by *■ Pudding without eau- e.” Oh ! thought i, what taste j and, at if to show my superiori ty hi this respect, ( bawled out at the top ol my voice, determined that every Lody rli i’.lld hear me and "my mo too—“ Lunv.ms luck .god Cg.'fuiit>J'y, and don’t forgot the sic yed ■ | ovstcryand I entered No. 9. 1 listened with pleasure when 1 heard the order repeal ed, “ dialling dish, canvass.back with ciir 5. rant jelly, and oysters slewed, in No. D.” There I eat, happy «l last to get something to _ eal. The e.hsfling dish was brought, and the j. materials for a sallad, which I set to work q mixing, thinking how delighted some of my r- messmates would be to join me.

Not a syllable of tins character es caped my lips j nor have 1 uttered a political sentiment before tins Court. 1 did, however, on the occasion alluded to, regret or complain tint his E.V' iTeney had not condescended to acknowledge either of my letters to him, of ItboDlst of May last—both of which, ns 1 slated, were conceived in respect, and ex pressed m the language of courtesy ; and i j showed, by Major Ktrhy, that they were sent I in duplicate and by two several conveyances. I nut lit I. 1 uii|groeo oomu niniit, that I had experienced in my operations, (owing to a combination of untoward circuit*, stances,) from the uon-i'pccptiou of any an swer, and added that, it I had thmi ’ht of il | in time, I might have caused an interrogatory | to be sent, m llm Excellency ; bur. tli.it, poijsi- I1) v, night in that case, have treated my inter- I rogatory as he tioated my letter*a In this, I imy have done an injustice rather to myself Ilian the Govern nr, and which i may sincere ly regret on better information.

Probably, it occti.s to me, on reflec tion, lie came to the conclusion, that the infor mation I sought (or, trom him, would he, or had been, obtained through another channel; but that, also having failed mo, it became im portant to me to show to the Cinirt that I took every measure to ensure the reception of my letters, lienee the questions to Major Kirby. Who the Reporter in question may be, T do not certainly know. 1 think it probable however, that he was introduced to me a f.ivv days ago at tiie Court room.

FREDERICK, Jan. 7, 1837. I »m 'again at the rcpoiter’s table in the Hall n f ' i the Rreal military tribunal, with increased facili ' j ties for llio acquisition ol interesting incidents for ’ : your readers. Tha Inclement weather ami bad , 1 condition of the rrteds eomewhat retarded the ar 1 rival of the members, but they arc now ail Itrre, * and will proceed with the case of General Scott in due form. 'The General looks indisposed ; * laboriously engaged during the recess, and parli * cipating in tire common culatth of ihc season, be has lost much of his ruddiness: A few days how ever, will restore him to his wonted health— General Gaines arrived yesterday in the cars from Baltimore, and has taken hidings at Mra. Tho mas.’ Ho is in fine spirits, and, as report says, ’ is determined to drag from their coverts the true culpnts in the Florida case. He will oak (be Court for a subpoena for Lewis Cass and require of him the explanation* so justly due to the A mcrican people, SATfanav, Jan. 7(h. This wasthc most interesting day of the whole session. At an early hour, the Court room was crowded in anticipation of the appearance ot Major General Gaines, whose objoclionsto Major General Macomb as the presiding oflicer of this court, have been publicly avowed, and whoso well earned fame ns a soldier will forever render him dear to his countrymen. —Aa soon as the Prcsi -1 dent announced the readiness ot the Court to proceed to business, Major Gcnl. IScott requested that the deposition of Getil. Clinch in continua tion of hie chain of evidence might be read— There were”eeid ho “ eome queetions which I omitted to put to Oenl. C. while here, Mr. Presi dent, and I availing myself of the kindness of the Judge Advocate, who in visiting Washington., obtained from the General in that city, the written answers. —’Tis to these I refer, and I bug that they may be read.” They wereroadaccutdingly , uni are in keeping with the testimony hitherto furnished by that General.—Other unimportant testimony vvns about being read to elucidate which Gcnl. .Scott was upon the floor, when the princi jnl door of the chamber vvns thrown open and in walked Gcnl. Gaines, in full uniform, wearing the splendid sword presented to him hy the legis lature of Virginia; accompanied by two Aids de Camp. General G., without taking a seat, pro ceeded to the front us tlio President, and seizing the first interval of silence, addressed the Court— “l am here, may it please the Court; by Ihc or ders of the Secretary of War, ami 1 ask that the Judge Advocate may Ire directed to read the sever al orders from the War Department on tbe nuh jecl”—The Court accordingly instructed the Judge Advocate to comply with the General’s desiie, and the orders, calling the Court to inquire loin the failure ol the Indian Campaigns in Geor gia and Florida, under Ihc conduct us Major Gen eral ricutt, and the circumstances attending the uiiuudunised publication of olficial papers hy Muj. Gen. Gaines, were immediately read.—During the reading Genl. G. remained standing, and at its completion, observed “ May it please tlio Court, I have been ordoreil to appear before you, and I have done so ; and I must be allowed to say that tbe Court is proceeding illegally. 1 am a party in Iba trial now pending and demand the right of cross questioning witnesses, examining docu mentary evidence, <Ste.” The Court objected, and assured Genl. Gaines, that it differed with him in opinion on the subject, and birvlcd in very delicate terms the expediency of his taking a seal, uitd concluded hy assuring him, that, as soon us the ease of General &euLt was concluded, every facility in the prosecution us his views should bo awarded him. General G. continued to descant on "llio illegality of ibo proceedings thus far,” notwithstanding the assurances ol Genl. Macomb, that his language ut this time was rather in ap propriate, un.l his groat desire I hat the venerable Chief would bo seated.— l- X come here, Sir” he continued “ not to ask favors, but to demand jus tice.” “ Clear the Court” said the President— in a short time wc ro-enleied the chamber, and Gencial Gaines was informed by the Court, through tho Judge Advocate, that ’‘llio Court 1 U...1 <>•rosy tlrtolsn «•' nvUnJl.i Uirv» ».♦ «l>*» jlrosjL.u 1 tint : the utmost latitude in the furtherance oi his inquiries; but that, ul tiro present time, be would not be permitted to interfere with tlio business of the Court, hy the introduction of irrelevant ob servations and that il was hoped further sugges tions on the subject would be found unnecessary. "Tlio General continued his perpendicular posi li in, Li.

G.—l beg your pardon Sir; standing is, a custom of mine, and 1 ask to be gratified in this particular.” Gen. M. “Certainly, General.—Consult you convenience in silting or standing—by pleasing yourself, you will gratify tho Court.” (question to Ll. Morris—“ What amount of hard bread and bacon were at Tampa Day when General Seoli.— Gen. Gaines—“ I feel myself, M. President, constrained once more to protest against tins law less mode of procedure.” Gen. M.—• 1 again urge upon you, Maj. Gen. Gaines, Iho importance of complying with the de sire of the Court in this matter. Your case, Sir, is not before us. You have nothing to do with tho matter pending, as it at present stands. You must not interrupt us.’ General O. (in a loud voice) ‘ May it please the Court, 1 wish to ho heard lor a moment. I do not desire to retard its operations, hut 1 wish to 1 protest finiiatly against the illegality with which it is, and has been conducted. The ninety first 1 article, Mr. President.— Gen. Macomb,— 1 General Gaines, submit your i views to paper, and they will lie considered and i regarded. Do so now, or any lime after the ad journment of the Court this morning will do. f General Guiues.—‘No, Sir, I will do so now.’ Proceedings were accordingly suspended to enable the gallant old soldier to embody his views, at the completion of which, he commenced anoth er address u> the Court, hut was again interrupted by Gen. Macomb. Gen. U.— 1 1 wish, Mr. President, to convince I this Court and the country that the whole tener : ol its proceedings is at war with law, usage and reason and— . General Macomb.— ‘ General, you shall not he . longer tolerated in these grutuilious expressions. , Phe court will confer—clear the Court!’ , The crowd, with the two Major Generals, re paired to an anti-chamber, and there awaited the second result of the arbitration. Whilst there, a feeling ot profound regret at the unfortunate cau ses ol the estrangement us these two eminent sol i diers, irresistibly pervaded us. The champions ot Republican America; those to whom the pres ent generation ol our countrymen ever look with patriotic exultation, were now, without a fault of either, exhibited lo public gaze as gladiators in llio political arena. There they stood, on oppo site sides ot the room, encircled hy their several friends, and occasionally eying each other’s man ly fin m, with other, 1 trust, than embittered reflec tions, Favorites of I e notion, who breasted the bayonets of gallant old England, side by side, and together plunUaJ the Siar Spangled Danner of their admiring countrymen, where once proudly and (fayly aijfl tauntingly floated the standard of St. Gaurgc.

Macomb, and after the transac tion of unimportant business the Court adjourned untd to-morrow at 11 A. M. The opinions ofthe Court, as expressed to Gen. I Gaines, were delivered by Major General Macomb in, a language and manner highly creditable to | his talents and urbanity. Ho urged ufton Ids | brother officer, to whom he stood in a relation al together unsolicited, mi adherence to a course, the expediency and propriety of which, his own judge- 1 ment must approvvc, and one which the rules of service absolutely exacted. P. S. General gainrs lias publicly cxpiesscd his determination to pyesecuto tbc cni|nircs now pending, to their utmost extent, and bring the ac tually guilty, fairly before the world.

MONEY-MARKET IN NEW YORK. —The Courier and Enquirer of Saturday says: “We are happy at the dose of the week, and previous to the sailing of the packets to-mor row, to have it in our power to say for the in formation of tbreigs readers (hat the state of the Money Market in tins city during the week now expiring, has become decidedly more favorable; andiliat (lie immense amount of mercantile engagements already liquidated wall tbo comparative small nmonntj still out standing hold out the prospect of a gradual reduction on the rate of interest lor money. On the whole, it the prices abroad of our great staple products do not materially decline, there is no reason apprehend any further in terruption to our commercial prosperity. In deed the temporary one which has taken place is solely to be attributed to the intcrlcr enccofthe federal government with the credit and currency of the States. More Disasters. —Wo learn by n letter received by Waller R. Jones, Esq , Secreta ry of the Board of Underwriters, that, the sebr Othello, Capt. Osborne, from New York for Baltimore, went, ashore on Cape Henlopon, the morning of the 2d instant, hav ing parted her best bower, under the Break water, in a violent gale from the north-west. The schooner is on the bar, covered with ice. She has a valuable cargo of assorted goods on board, which it is expected will be saved, with tbo exception of some sugar in boxes. Arrangements have been been made for land ing and securing the goods immediately. The sebr. Caspian came on shore a few hours later, having been up the Delaware in the ice, with the loss of both anchors, nnd much cut with the ice. Whnt is singular, this vessel stranded on the same spot five years since. Two brigs and two schooners were driven down the bay and went U> sea—probably fur New York. AND YET ANOTHER! The ship Robert Fulton, arrived at Now Or leans, reports the loss on the ISlh December of the ship Pacific, Capt. Fisk, from New York fur Mobile, with a cargo of dry goods, &c. She wont ashore on Cmysfovt Reef, and in a few hours bilged anil became a total wreck. Her cargo was-principally saved by the wreckers, and taken to Key West.

THE TRIAL OP GEN. SCOTT. We rc-commcuco to day, the publication of the interesting correspondence oftho Baltimore Chron icle, on the subject of Gen. Scott’s trial before tbo Court of Enquiry, upw silting at Frederic!:, Maryland. The lettcc in to-day’s paper is of in tense interest. Mci.ANcnoi.Y Occurrences—On Tuesday last, about 10 o’clock, A. M. six of the laborers on section JG of the Georgia Rail Road, ware killed, while excavating, by the tailing in of the ground over their heads. A tunnel of about 20 feet had been dug out; they were working at the farthest point, and so sudden was the fall that no time for escape was allowed. Six were killed in stantly and two others dangerously injured. A horse cart standing at or near the entrance of the tunnel was also mushed bv the mass of eatth ; (be horse escaped unhurt. Wc publish to-day a revised list of the Stock holders, of the Georgia Rail Road & Banking Company, since they wore reported to the Gov ernor ns required by law. Intelligence of Ibis kind, the Legislature believed highly important to the community, hy requiring the Batiks to re port their Stock-holders to the Governor, and the Governor to publish them. Nothing can be more serviceable in strengthening public confidence in the Bills of a Bank, where the Stock-holders arc made individually liable for their issues. It will appear by the list publised, that the Geo. Rail Road At Banking Company have 389 Stock holders, and consequently that many securities to every bill they issue, besides their whole rail road piu|>erty, of imincnss value, which, by tho char ter is pledged for the redemption of their bills.— With such a number of Stockholders, so wealthy as vve know some of them to be, and spread so generally through the State, it must have a strength and support rarely, enjoyed hy similar institutions. When the Georgia Kail Road shall be connected wilt the great trunk which the late Legislature has authorised as a State work, from the Tennesse river, nnd, in the hands of such an enterprising and opulent company it will no doubt be done, it accomplishes a long sought desidera tum of vast importance to Georgia; and in an es pecial manner to tho city of Augusta. A con nection between the Atlantic coast and the Valey of the Mississippi, will then have been effected and tbo current of trade and travelling that must pour through that channel, is, we venture to say, beyond all present means of calculation. UNITED STATES HOTEL. Wo lake pleasure in requasting attention to i the advertisement of this Hotel, by Mr. Bknto>• | Walton, late proprietor of the Globe Hotel, [ who has aliened it in a style surpassing anything j of the kind wo have before witnessed in this soo-1 thin, Tho building has been completely repair- i cd mid uTitted, throughout, in the best possible ! manner, regardless of cost. The rooms, lam,!-1 ings, and passages, are all richly carpeted, and ; the former furnished in a style of peculiar ele-| gance, splendor, and beauty, and at tho same time with the most careful and judicious regard to comfort, ease, and convenience, particular!? in the bed-rooms. The table is decided cn all hands, to lie superior to any ever laid in tho city, 1 both in the riclipc-s. variety, and cuFmtir jure paialioti of its viands, and tbc excellent taste and style in which they are served. Indeed the whole establishment peculiarly marks the expe rience, taste, and judgment of its enterprising : and hospitable proprietor, bis untiring assiduity, j and anxiety to please and excel; and is a deci j ded acquisition to the city—such a one as it has j long needed, and as genteel travellers have fre qucntly suggested, particularly those with fami lies. It is fitted up with especial regard to the accommodation of families, and possesses pecu liar facilities for that purpose. Already several ; of die most respectable and interesting families j of our city have taken rooms in it, rendering its society most delightful and attractive ; while its entire order, nir, and manner, are as quiet, re i tired, and genteel, as those of the most elegant j private dwelling, and we (eel assured will always i lie maintained so, rcgardlcs; of every conflicting ; consideration, 'ib.LEScopis.—lt is said that the use of tclcs ! copes was lirsldiscovctcd by one Hansen, a spec tacle-maker, at Middleburgh, in Holland, whose children playing in the shop, casually placed a convex and concave glass in such a manner, that, by looking through them at the weathercock, they observed it appeared much larger and nearer than usual, and, by their expressions of surprise, ixcil cd the attention of their lather, who soon obtain ed great credit for this useful discovery. ~ CeHIUERCIiL.
