Sr, Augustine, Aug. 12.
Another Gaik.—On Sunday morning last,
m were visited with another gale much severer
lan the first. The wind commenced blowing
um the N. E. and blew with violence until
bout 11 o’clock A. Mi when it suddenly changed
i the N. W. The tide rose considerably higher
han usual, but no material damage was done.—
l portion of the wall of one old house was blown
own.
To the north of us the effects of it were more
icverelv felt, at St. Marys we understand that
nuch damage was done. Most of tbs Pride ofln-
Slia trees there were blown down. The store of
[ftUr. Samuel Clarke, was broken in and his goods
o the amount of 5000 dollars were damaged; the
oarket house was carried away. The steamboat
Florida, which was lying at the wharf had her
ide broke in. An iron steamboat was blown into
he marsh at Amelia narrows. Ai.olhcr steam
mat was blown ashore near Fcrnandina. Nine
sen houses were blown down inFernandina. The
nail currier reports that the road from the head of
he North River to Pablo, is much obstructed by
alien trees.
A report reached us on Monday from For.
Cing, that the Indian chief John Hicks had come
n there with several Indians with a proposition
or a deputation of chiefs (o go to Washington.
Ater information from that quarter does not ful
y confirm the report ; hut it is slated that John
dicks with several Indians had made a visit there.
He said he wished to get in alt their young men ;
hey were out committing depredations and were
incontrplablo; tnat orders were given by the
;hicfs forbidding them to commit any depreda
ions, or to kill any while man. Something was
laid about a deputation of chiefs coming into Fort
King.
A human skeleton was found on the beach of
.Anastatia Island about fifteen miles south of St.
Augustine on Thursday last. It is supposed to
have been one of the victims on board the Dol
phin, when she blew up in December last, which
had been buried there, and was washed out by the
gale of Sunday.
Gen. Jesup is still at Black Creek.
Pensacola, August 17.
The Late Gale.—There are painful rumors
afloat of wrecks upon our coast, occasioned by the
severe gale. Nothing having reached us, how
ever, of an authentic character, we abstain, for the
present, from any statements connected (with the
reports in question. — Gazette.
A letter received in this city, from n gentleman
at Fort Gilliland, says, “The Court is now silting.
The Grand Jury have indicted tire negroes tor the
murder of poor Gilliland, and they are to be arrang
ned to-day,”
Since the reception of the above, ’we learn, bv
an arrival from Black Creek, that the negroes in
question have been found guilty, and arc ordered
or execution on the ensuing Monday.— lbid.
We learn from a gentleman who was a pas
senger in the schr, George & Mary, which was
lost during the gale of the Ist and 2d inst. the
following particulars:—
This vessel came to anchor about 10 o’clock,
on Tuesday morning the Ist, soon after the gale
commenced, in G fathoms water, about three miles
to the northward of St. Johns Bar, the wind
blowing N. E. and St. Johns Light House bear
ing 8. VV. The gale rose duiing the day, but
the vessel continued to ride out safely, until be
tween eight or nine in the evening she was found
lobe dragging her anchor. The best bower was
then let go which soon brought her up. About
10 o’clock ahepr *ed the cable of her best bower,
and again draggeo. Orders were immediately
given to make sail and slip her cable. The wind
catching on her starboard bow, immediately after
1 slipping her cable, she paid oil’in shore and was
fast driving upon the north breaker; and although
| her head sails were upon her and her mainsail
, close reefed, it was some minutes before she could
lie made to wear round, and head out to sea. The
scene is represented as being truly awful. The
sea lashed into fury seemed all on fire. The
breakers in which no vessel could live were im
mediately under her lec ; and ihe wildest uproar
of the elements prevailing seemed at limes to
usurp all commands of the vessel—notwithstand
ing the tremendous sea that was running, with
the head of the vessel sometimes plunging into
its depths, which would break the headway for
tho moment throw her stern aloft almost or
quite out of water, so as to loose all command of
the helm, she made tolerable weather and suc
ceeded in heading off for most part S. E. by S.
and clearing the breakers. The land being close
under lee the Captain dare not lay too, but con
tinued thro' the night to force her through this
tremendous sea under close reefed mainsail, fore
sail and jib with the bonnet off.
In the morning land was seen from 3 to 3 miles
oil under her lec. Thejib had been split during
the night and only the head of it remaining, and
about G o’clock they beheld with dismay the fore
sail split, shivered and lorn into fragments. The
vessel then of course lay too from necessity under
the mainsail and drifted. The upper tier of her
load was then thrown overboard and part of the
lower tier ahead. She had become the sport of
the tempest, and it was evident she was going
ashoic—no human power could save her. With
in a short distance of ihe hcach her mainsail was
settled away as far as it could ho, the end of the
gaft lop-sail halliards having become wound hy
the wind round the peak down haul near the end
of the gaft, which prevented its being taken in al
together. She however paid off under the head
of the jib and immediately struck—a terrible sea
striking her al the same moment partially on the
starboad quarter. The men at the wheel howev
er met her promptly and the next sia struck a
stern. The larboard main sbrouds were then cut
away and a few blows struck with an axe in the
mainmast,when another heavy sea strikiughur lar
board quarter, swept over hurrying her many feet
under water, carrying away her mainmast and lay
ing her in the surf broadside to the sea. It was
then about high water. The sea continued, for
hours, to break,with great volence over the wreck,
sweeping away every thing, and every successive
sea burying all on board, in tbe water.
The Captain’s Indy had b en brought upon deck
a few minutes before the vessel struck, and plac
ed Ly the companion way near the mainmast,
with a rope lied about her waist and made fast io
tho larboard mainshrouds—when. the mast fell
she must have been inevitably killed and dragged
overboard, had not the mainmast caught by the
springstay, (the) rigging which connects the heads
of tbe fore and mainmast) and prevented the lat
lei from falling entirely overboard—before the
springstay was cut,so as to suffer the mainmast to
fall, her situation was discovered, and the rope by
which she was tried, was cut just in lime to save
her. When it was judged to he about low water
one of the seamen velured into the surf, wbh a
rope, and succeed ’d in reaching the shore, and in
making it fust near the sand hills. By this rope
the Captain, his lady and child, were separately
taken onshore, being so much exhausted when
they reached the shore, as to bo unable to stand
and the child apparently dead. Some of the
slaves belonging to the plantation of Mr.
Perpall, about a mile and a half distant, soon
came to the wreck, and a Horded great relief and
assistance ; so soon as they were able they were
taken to the House of Mr, P. whose kindness and
hospitality is spoken of in the highest terms. The
vessel and cargo were entirely lost. We learn
that the highest credit is due to Capt. Williams
for his determined resolution and able seaman
ship during the gale, every thing was ordered ■
with the utmost coolness and composure and exe
cuted by his officers and crew with great prompt
ness and intrepidity. It is the opinion of the gen
tleman to whom wo arc indebted for these par
ticulars, that in few other hands, would a soul
on board have been saved. The schr. went ashore
8 miles north of St. Augustine bar.

near Hell Gate, yesterday at 9A. M. In three
rounds O’Connell was as limber and life
lifeless as a rag. The “deaf un” let bim have his
sport out by allowing his antagonist to hammer
on his knowledge box, which is ns hard as a bul- ;
lock’s, till he had bruised his knuckles and worn
out bis wind. Burke then put a smasher into
hi,bellows organ, somewhere in Ihe neighborhood
of the kidneys, and O’Connell fell al his feet, and
when raised could not stand on his peg*. So the
“deaf un” leaned over him, looking at his rival
with pity and contempt. Tho used up gentle
man was then borne off. Burke appeared in tho
evening st the Franklin theatre.—aV. Y. Star.

1 From the Boston Alius,
r RHODE ISLAND POLITICS.
1 The developments of public opinion in Rhode
i Island would seem to be highly lavorablo to the
au cess of the Whig candidates for Congress at
I the election, which ia near at hand. Changes
! are rapidly taking place in quarters, which threa
-1 ten the total defeat of Van Bureutsm in the State.
Unless Mr. Dulco J. Peace can import some
perjured voters from Washington, “under the
conduct of McKim.s clerk,” to sustain him. he
will soon be left “solitary and alone" in his igno
miny. His old friends arc jfasl' deserting him.
Governor Fenner, who was President of the Con
vention which nominated Van Buren, and has
been a s annch adherent to the party, refuses, in
a letter published in the Providence Courier, to
give his support to Mr Pearce, who, lie says, will
be defeated by 700 majority l This is the un
kindest cut of all. Poor Pearce! His bull-of-
Bashan roar will be missed in the ball of the House.
Van Buren could “have better spared a better
man.”
Another indication of the revolution of political
opinion in Rhode Island, is pro rented in Ihe avow
ed secession of the Hon. Wm. Sprague, a mem
ber of the last Congress, from the ranks of tho
administration. The, Tories wished to run this
gentleman upon the same ticket with Mr. Pearce;
but Mr. Sprague, with exemplary good taste, do
dined the association. Ho has since come before
the public in a letter to James D’Wolf, Esq. in
which ho denounces the policy of the administra
tion, and takes a candid view of the existing stale
of affairs in this country, and the causes which
induced them.
After tracing the inordinate expansion of our
paper currency to its true origin—the war against
the U. S. Bank, and the despotic removal of the
deposilos, Mr. Sprague continues:
That portion which was sent to tho West and
South West was, undoubtedly, tho cause of the
commencement of the land speculations, and was
loaned out over and over again for that purpose.-
Ncw Banks wetealso established for the purpose
of receiving a portion of these deposiles, Tho
law altering the standard value of gold was passed
in June, 1834. By the operation of this law up
wards of thirty millions of coin and bullion came
into the country, over and above the exports, even
where the balance of trade was against us, and
immediately became the basis upon which new
banks were established.
In consequence, therefore, of these measures of
General Jackson, the banks and banking capital
of the country have increased nearly three to
one since the Ist of January, 1030. They have
afforded facilities for speculations in land, and in
almost all kinds of property, and in connection
with the law reducing the duly on imports, have
been the cause of excessive importation, and sad
dled us with a very large amount of foreign debts.
Wo have seen how their banks have been crea
ted, lot us now see how they have been effected.
The Treasury Circular requiring gold and silver
in payment of public lands was issued in July,
1830. By tbe operation of this instrument,about
seven millions were abstracted from their vaults,
in as many months, and placed on special depo
sitc in the deposite banks, to the credit of the go
vernment.—Continued drains were made upon
them hy tho Loco Focos, who had arrayed them
selves as a party against all Batiks, and for
ought I know, against every thing else that is
useful. Remittances were called for to liqui
date the balances against us in favor of foreign
ers. Tito consequence was ceitain. The banks
were at once deprived of the foundation upon
which they were erected. A suspension of spe
cie payments, and a general prostration of bust
ness and industry, was the inevitable result.
From what I have said, it necessarily fallows
as my belief, that if Gen. Jackson nxo let
“ WELL ENOUGH ALONE” AS HE FOUND IT IN
1830, THE EVILS WE NOW SUFFEU WOULD HATE
been spaued us. I do not believe, that the
•banks would have increased beyond the wants of
the legitimate business of the Country. Conse
quently, speculations in lands, over importations,
arid a surplus revenue could not have existed ;
and lliore could not have been any necessity for
the suspension of specie payments.
Bul the past is beyond our control. We may
if we will, provide for tho future. We must have
a general currency ; gold and silver for its basis,
and a circulating medium equivalent to it. The
government of the United Slates has the power,
and it is its duty to furnish such a currency. It
is idle to suppose, that it can he furnished by the
fluctuating legislation of twenty-six independent
State governments. As well might wo suppose
that the movements of an army could be judici
ously directed by 26 independent Generals ; or,
as well might we say, that the government of the
United Slates was a supernumerary machine.and
that all the legislation necessary for the nation,
could be furnished by the twenty six independent
State Legislatures.
I will make a single remark upon the Loco Fo
co system. 1 consider this system a war upon
labor and industry, and upon property, which is
the otlspring of industry. Its advocates are op
posed to all hanks ; and what despot is not; and
for the very reason, that they enable the people
to have a control over their own labor anil in
dustry. Were tho subjects of the despots of the
old world permitted to have establishments so
that they could control their own labor and in
dustry, the tune would not he far distant, when
they would shake despotism ilsell to its centre.
But be this as it may, we cannot have an exclu
sive specie currency ; and for the best of reas
ons : that is, we have not got, neither Can we
have, sufficient gold and silver for the purpose.
But hanks, to bo most useful, must bo regula
ted. Fixed rules must he prescribed for their
government, or else they will become the tyrants
in turn. I look upon a-well regulated system
of vital importance to the tabor of the Country.
The one calls it into active employment, and en
hances Ihe value of the productions peculiar to tho
Country, when exported; the other, protects it
from foreign competition and interference, with
such as are common to other countries as well as
our own.
Excuse the length of this letter, and hear with
me, one moment, while I refer more particularly
to myself It has been said that I have changed
my principles. This is a mistake. I am not
aware of any change. As an anti-mason, I
have been connected with the Jackson parly.—
You know, sir, that the whigs of Ibis Btato oppo
sed ihe anti-masons. Tho consequence was, a
union of the anti-masonic and Jackson parties.—
It was a union of men and not of principles; or
rather a union of men professing different prin
ciples. The object of that union, on the part of
the anti-masons, has been accomplished, Bt least
as far as this Stale is concerned. On several
tneasurcs of general policy, I have differed with
the Jackson party, I have voted against them in
our Stale legislature and in Congress. Since
the” have become more am) more Loco Focoish,
and seem determined to sink or swim with this
new system, destructive as I think it is to the
general interests of the country, I shall feel it
my duty to express my sentiments, by giving my
vole against them again. Were Ito do other
wise. I should indeed think I had changed my
principles. I am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant. WM. SPRAGUE.
Hon. James D’Wolf, Bristol.
Talleiband. —Os the never ending, still be
ginning anecdotes of this old man, some arc to
good to be fictitious.
Wcmel will the following to day:—
ii Talleyrand is the only man'alivo who has the
art of doing witty things. On the death of
Charles X. he drove through Paris for a couple
of days, wearing a white hat. Ho carried a crape
in his pocket. When he passed through the
Fauxbonrg of the Carlisls, the crape was instant
ly twisted round hia hat; when he came into the
quarter ol thoTuillerics, tho crape was instantly
slipt off, and pul into his pocket again.”
The following we have seen before, but it has
been thought sufficiently unworn, for a place in
a late number of Blackwood. It is, without
i doubt, authentic.
1 “ A woman of rank wrote to Taliemnd a long
and lachrymose account of the loss of her hui
band, hoping, perhaps, that tho gallantry and sen
e aibility of the minister, would acc.'rd her a pen
c si n. His whole letter in reply was, “ Hclas
1 Madame.”- A few months after, the widor
a wrote him word, tint she had consoled her gric
. with a second husband, a young officer, and re
!. quested a continuance of the minister's favor, f.i
j horselt and spouse. Talleyrand’? second repb
a was simply “Ho ! ho! Madame!”
2 Tho following is good, hut noWi characterjetii
. as to insure its authenticity.
, “When told the Duke of Rassanno had rc
. turned with Napoleon from Moscow—’Thou tin
s bulletin lies,’ said Talleyrand, ‘ for it states lha
i the Emperor left all his baggage.’"
> The two following anecdotes are very probably
I true :
“While Secrctaiy of Foreign Affairs, a young
. man was recommended nsaltnche loan embassy.
. ’Copy this,’ said Tallcyiand. throwing him a me
r morial. It was copied. ‘Bah 1 what are you
about!’ said the minister. ‘Drying the ink,’was
I ihe reply. “Then you will not do for a French
. embassy. Blotting paper betrays secrets.”
“A certain lady requested his name in her
j album. He gallantly consented, and commenced
i penning a verse. ‘Stop,’ said she, verses will Jo
; from inferior men, but the name a Inn col Talley
rand is glory enough for my hook.’ He gave her
I a keen glance, and wrote the name —but al the
i top of the page. Next day all Paris laughed at
. the dextrous evasion by which he had escaped
■ the vexation offinding his name in a few days,
signed to a billet of 10,000 francs.”
“All this,” says the writer in Blackwood, “is
dexterous; hut what is this verbal dexterity tolh e
practical skill, with which this extraordinary man
has contrived to battle all the casualties of thirty
years, full of tho ruin of all pliwvr, ability, cour
age and fortune I Here is the lurvivor of tho
ago of the Baslilc, the age of the guillotine, the
age of the prison ship, and the ago of the sword.
And after baffling tho Republic, tho Democracy,
the Despotism, and the Restoration, he figures,
in his 80th year, as the embassador to England,
the minister of France, and retires from both offi
ces, only to ho the chief counsellor, almost the
coadjutor of the King. That where the ferocity
of Robespierre fell, where tho Sagacity of Napo
leon fell, where the experience of the Bourbons
fell, this one old man, a priest, in a land
of daring spirits, where conspiracy first, and
soldiership after, wore the great means of power
—should survive all, succeed in every thing, and
retain his rank and influence through all change,
is unquestionably one of the most extraordinary
instances of conduct exhibited in the world.”—

From the t ha lesion Mercury.
BAY POINT, Aug. 17, 1937.
I give you a hasty narrative of an affair,
which took place yesterday, between your
humble servant and a Dovil-lish. It Is due to
you, ns a native of ibis region, to whom all
the localities are familiar—as a sportsman
every inch, to whom such narratives will be a
pleasure, and furthermore, as having in some
sort provoked the adventure, by a recent boast
of your own exploits in the fishing lino.
On Saturday the August, taking advan
tage of a short cessation in the storms that
signalized the week, I crossed from Bay
Point to Hilton Head, on n visit. In the
course of the excursion, I saw eight Devil
fish sporting on the surface of the water. One
lay directly in the track of my boat ns I
spanked away under a press of sail. He
thrust up both wings n loot above the surface,
and kept them steadily erect, as if to act as
Jails. I liked no: the cradle tints offered me,-
and veered the boat, ho us just to miss him.
Hu never budged, and 1 passed so near, as ea
sily to have harpooned bun, if the implements
bad been at hand.
The Devil fish (in numbers thus unusual,)
had doubtless run into the inlet to escape the
gales; for from repeated observations, I am
pe.’suaded that fish are provided with an in
stinct, by which they are tore warned of con
vulsions in their proper element.
The sight of these fish disturbed by rest,
and I fell uncomfortable, until I found myself
planning an attack and providing myself with
the needful apparatus. A harpoon two in
ches wide in the barb, between two and three
feel in the shank, (a regular whale) was turn
ed out from the work shop of Mr. Micklor.
Forty fathoms of half inch rope were purchas
ed and stretched! To one end the harpoon
was firmly attached ; the other, passing thro'
a hole cut in the bottom of it tub, in which the
rope was carefully coiled, to bo fastened
to the forecastle. An eight oared beat was
inspected, new thwarted, and nrw tlmln-pin
nod; and a dele nailed firmly on the forecas
tle, to support iho right foot of the harpooiier.
A day was fixed, and friends and sportsmen
were invited to repair to the field of action;
but the weather was uupropitious, and but
two boats appeared.
At six o’clock on Wednesday, the 19th
August, vve started from Bay Point, on our
cruise for Devil-fish. Itr my boat manned
by six oarsmen and a steersman, I was accom
panied hy my son, a youth under eighteen.
In the second boat were G. P. B , and VV. C.
E.-qrs , (talk no more of peg horned bucks
Mr. Editor) will) a crew of tour men. The
armament of the larger boat consisted,besides
the harpoon, of a lance, hatchet, and rifle:
that of the smaller bout, was 2 bayonets fix
ed in long staves, (the line which was to hate
been rigged to a second harpoon, having been
swept away with a sharp hook attached, by
an overwhelming spring tide tho night be
fore.) We stretched away before a fresh
Northeaster, tor the Bay gall on Hilton
Head, and then struck sail, and made all
snug for action. Masts, sails, awnings were
all stowed away in the bottom of the boat, the
anchor with its rope, was transferred to the
platform for trim, and that nothing should in
terfere with otir running gear. Hero a large
shoal of Porpoises came plunging about us :
the harpoon was poised, but none came with
in striking distance ; and after ho ng tantal z
ed by this show of unexpeciqd'sport, a nfle
shot among them, sent them booming off, and
left us leisure to pursue out proper game.
We lowed slowly along between the Bay
gall breaker and the shore, on the early ebb,
expecting lo meet Ihe Devilfish on their re
turn from Skull Creek, the scene ofjtheir high
water gambols.— The smaller bout, with oilt
•pread sails stretched off and on,traversing the
same region) but on different linos. No fish
were seen. We advanced in front of Mrs.
E’s. avenue, and look another survey, and
thus slowly extended the cruise to Skull Creek,
while our consort stretched away as far as
Pinckney’s Island. The ebb was half spent;
and we began to despair. I landed on the
beach at Hilton Head, yet kept Ihe boat all iat,
and two hands on the look out Before a
quarter of uu hour hud elapsed, “there,” cried
our look out man. I followed the rliiection of
his hand, it pointed to Skull Creek channel,
and'l saw the wing of the fish two feet above
water. There was no mistaking it—it was a
Devilfish. One shout summons ■ lie crew to
their posts—the oarsmen spring to the oars:
The red flag is raised to signs! mir consort,
and we went roaring on in the direction in
which we had u ,j eti him. Once again before
we had accomplished tho distance, lie appear
ed a moment on the surface.
Tite place of harpooner 1 hud not ihe gene
rosity to yield to any one; so I planted my
self on the forecastle, my left leg advanced,
my right supported by ihe dele, my harpoon
poised, and three fathoms of rope lying loose
on the thwart behind mo. The interest of
the moment was intense; my heart throbbed
audibly, and I scarcely breathed, while expect
ing biro momentarily to emerge from the spot
is- yet rippled by his Wake. Tho water was tc
n- fathoms deep, but so turbid, that you could in
n- see six inches beneath the surface. We ha

at my harpoon' with all my force. After sh
lapse of a few seconds, the staff' came bound
lying up from below, to show me that 1 ha

flung himself on his“buck, darted under th
f. boat, and shewed himself at tho stem, belly w;
c- Tom dapped his unarmed hands with disap
u piontinent as the fish swept by him where In
is stood on the platform, so near that he niigli
h have pierced him with a sword! And now tin
fish kept wantoning about us—taking no nott
t of our presence, circling round us,with amazinj
d rapidity, yet shewing nothing but the tip of hi
0 wijtg. We dashed at him wherever ho-appoar
'■ eilffiut he changed position so quickly that wi
r were always too late. Suddenly,his broad falacl
10 back was lifted above the water directly befon
‘J our bow. “Forward!” the oarsmen bend to tin
stroke, but before we could pain our distance
’’ his tail flics up.iSt is plunging downward for hit
depths. I could not resist—l pitched my liar
e poon, from the distance of full twenty-nine
iect. It went whizzing through the air, ami
cleaved tho water just linncatli the spot where
the fish had disappeared. My companions in
„ our consort, (who had now approached within
B fifty yards) observed the staff quiver for a se
cond before it disappeared beneath tho water.
This was unobserved by myself, and I was
, dra win jin my line to prepare for a new throw,
, when ho! the line stopped short! “Is it
. possible? I have him—the devil fish is struck!”
1 Out fl es the line from the bow—a joyful shout
■ burst from our crew—our consort is lushed to
our stern —E. and C. bo!It spring aboard—
i and hero we go! driven by this most diabolical
of locomotives!
Thirty fathoms are-run out, and I venture
a turn round the stern. The harpoon holds,
and ho leads gallantly off fur Middle Bank—
tho two boats in tow. He pushed dead in the
eye of a stiff northeaster. His motion is not
so rapid as wc expected, bul regular and bu
siness like—reminding me of the mutton of a
canal boat drawn by a team of stout horses.
On Middle Bank, he approached tho surface
—the rifle is caught up, but soon laid aside as
useless, for no vulnerable part appeared.—
We then drew upon the line, that we might
force him to the surface, and spear him—l
soon found that was no situ. “Tom don’t you
want to play a devil fish? 1 have enough to
last me an hour, so here’s my pi co, if you de
sire it.” B.’ho’d mo now reclined on the
stern scat, taking breath after my pull, ami
lifting my umbrella to repel the heat of the
sun. Jt was very pleasant to sec the woods
of Hilton Head recede, and the hammocks of
Pans Island gnny imp distinctness, as wo
moved along undef this novel, anil yet unya
tenied impelling power! “You will find this
melon refreshing, friends! at twelve o’clock,
let ns tqlte a glass of wine to our success.—
Tom why dont you pull him tip l " Tom held
up his fiunds from which the, gloves had. been
stripped clean by the friction of the rope.—
“We’ll put three nieuto the line itiid bouse on
him.” Ho comes! George seizes the lance,
but tho Devil Pish stops ton (eet below the
surface, and cam bo coaxed nearer. .George
sinks his long staff in the direction of the line,
feels the fish ami plunges the lauen info him
It is flung out of his body, and almost out of
the hand of the spcarsinun by the convulsive
muscular effort of the fish. When drawn up
the iron is found bent like a reaping lump, and
tho staff broken in the socket. The fish now
quickened his speed, and made across Daws’
channel for Paris Bank. “Just ns wo would
have you my old boy—when we get you near
Bay Point Bench, it will be so convenient to
land you!” lie seems to gather velosily as he
goes, he gets used to harness, ho points for
Station Creek, taking the regular steam boat
track. As soon as he gains the deep channel
he turns for Bay point. “Now then, another
trial, —a bouse on him.” Three fellows are
set lothe rope, his. wing appears, C aims
his bayonet, and plunges it deep into Ins body
—another shudder of the fish, and the bayonet
snaps short off at the eye— he blade remains
buried in his body. “Now for it George!”—
His bayonet is driven in, and at the second
blow that is snapped offin the blade. Here we
arc unwenponed.'our nfle aid Im diet useless,
our other implements broken! “Give him rope
hoys until we haul off arid repair damages.”
At every blow wc hud dealt him, his power
seemed to have increased, and he now swept
down for Egg Bank, with a s jecd that looked
omnious. * Out oars boys and pull against him.’
The tide was now flood, the wind still fresh,
had shifted to the east; six oars were pul out
ami pulled lustily against him, yet ho curried
us rap dly seaward, against all these impeding
forces. He seemed lo suck i.i fresh vigor
from the ocean water. George meanwhile
was refit'ing the broken implements; the lance
was fixed in it new staff, and secured hy a tie
of tripe drum line; the broken -blade of the
bayonet was fixed on another staff. Egg
Bank was now but one hundred yards lo our
left. "Row him ashore boys,” The Devil
fish refused, and drew the whole concern in
tho opposite direction. “Force him then to
the surface.” Mupopt up Unexpectedly under
ihe bow, lifted one wing four feet in (ho air,
ami bringing it suddenly down swept off eveiy
oar from the starboard side of tho boat; they
were not broken but wrenched out of the
hands of the oarsmen as hy an electric shock.
Ouo man wad knocked beneath Ihe thwarts
by the rebound of an oar, and was I aid almost
speechless on the platform—quite horse de

Measuring Heights with a Kino.—
Cooper, in his recent work on England, tells
us the following whimsical anecdote:—A
Scotch officer, of no very extraordinary merit,
but who had risen lo high employments hy
personal assidni'y and tho arts of a courtier
was in tho presence of George 111. at Wind
sor, in company «ith one or two others, at a
moment when ceremony was banished. That
simple minded and well meaning monarch
was a little apt to admit of tangents in the
discourse, and ho suddenly exclaimed, “D—
--it appears lo me that you and I arc just of a
height: lei’s measure—let’s measure.” Tho
geneal placed his back to that, of the king,
hut rnsiead of .submitting to the process of
measurement, lie kept moving his head in
way lo prevent it. Anchor tangent drew the
king off, and he left 'he room. “Why did’nt
you stand still, and let him measun, I)—1”
asked a looker on: ‘you kept, bebbing vonr
head so,be could do nothing,’ ‘Well, 1 did'nt
know wbothcr ho wanted to be taller or
shorter!’
