GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—THE IURGE’s CREW, like a »hip in constant motion, Sometimes high, and sometimes low.” Alougsido of Joe Iieuderson pulled Pat Diggory, but never was there a more unfortu nate wight upon the faco of tho earth, or rath er upon the bosom of the ocean; for, according to the poets, the earth has its face whilst tho o- cean has its bosom; or perhaps tho ocean is the bosom of the earth—no matter; but, as I was saying, never was there a more unfortunate wight than Pat Diggory, from-the county Kil dare. Pat was cast upon the world before he was Munich bigger than a unstcr pafatee; but, as to how ho came into being, who were his pa rents, or whether he ever had any, could nev er be discovered. The fact is, he was found one morning sprawling under a gooseberry bush, in a little garden at the back of the cot tage belonging to the village priest. “Arrah, bad luck to sorrow,” shrieked Judy Mac Quil- laigan, as she saw Pal’s chubby face aud arras sirciched out from underneath an immense cabbage leaf, that concealed the test of his bo dy. “Bad luck to sorrow, any how! Run, Dermdt, run and call the Father, for sure Saint Patrick has sent him a cherubim from tho clouds—swa'e crature, how it twiddles its o- glesj run Dermot, run.” Away strode Der- mot with the rapidity of a two-penny post, and shortly afterward down came Father O’Twig. This reverend gentleman was a true son of the Church, and as much like his mother as two peas, for in appearance he closely resembled a moving cathedral with a short steeple; and, though a minor canon, there was always a great difficulty in making him go off. Not but he discharge!] his duty faithfully, and his general report was good, for the Father was a kindly soul. Down ctime Father O’Twig, while Ju- pt Quicksilver Rhubarb Resin Fellow Sulph.

LISTS of the DRAWING may be haft on application at this office, •t $3 each, payable in advance- qiarcb 12 dy stood wilh her hands upraised, shrieking to all the saints in the calendar.—“Och bothera tion,” cried the Father; “what’s the cratnre squalling about! Arrah he aisey, and don’t make such a huhbaboo. What’s die matter, what’s tlje mat er wid yees?” ?‘Oli joy to the hour,” said Judy; “sure and hasn’t Saint Pat rick sent you a beautiful little cherubim, now?” “Bo quiet, Judy,” returned the Father.softly, “be aisey, or you’ll frighten it away. By my conscience and a beautiful crature it is, sure— faith but this is a miracle indeed! Take up the cabbage lafe gently, Dermot, for fear you should hurt tho wings of it.” Up went the cab bage leaf, mid the whole length of Pat was brought into perspective. “Whee-hce-whew,” whistled Dermot, “the divel an angel is it at all at all, but a baby, your reveuce, a full grown beautiful drolleen,”—“Take it away, take it away,” roared J.ndy: “faith, and I’ve no call to it any how—arrah take your brat away, Dermot?’—“Is it- mine you mane,” replied Dermot, “don’t make a brat of yourself, jewel, but wrap the darliug in your arms nnd cherish it.”—“ Whose child can it be?” asked the Fa ther. “Where has it come from? Arrah, Judy, take it up and warm it at the fire, and don’t stand grubbing wilh your ten toes there, as mo dest as—there, take it up, I say, for Father O’ Twig never turned a soul from his doors that hadn't the power to walk away, and lie’s not going to begin now—arrah lake it in, Judy, take it in.” Thus poor Pat was first ushered into, what shall I say? being—no—into the Father's cottage. Every inquiry was made— the gooseberrios were carefully examined—the cabbage was rooted up, and every leaf turned over with the strictest srretotiny, hut it left them just as ignorant as ever. Wherever he camo.from tVas of jittle consequence to Pat— he enjoyed the warmth of tho peat fire, and lapped the buttermilk like an angel, ns Dermot snjd, while Judy’s heart bognn to mollify to wards tho infant. Days, months, years rolled pway, without the smallest cluo being given which could lead to the knowledge of his ances tors; and during this time he grow like a moun tain flower, luxuriantly wild. But Pat was destined to feel the chilling blasts of adversity for, after having passed eight years under the hospitable roof of his benefactor, and sharing his gonerous bounty, tho worthy Father O’ T)vig departed this' life; and Pat was once more “cast abandoned on tho world’s wide stage, and doomed to roam in scanty poverty.” He was obliged to wander from cottage to cot tage, and pick up a potatoe wherever ho could find it. At lust he fell into the power of a tithe-proctor, who employed him in sundry lit tle jobs, not at all suited to Pat’s ideas, and, at the same time, kept him very spare in food.— Often did he get thrashed for being hungry, und his back suffered punishment for iiie faults or misfortunes of hb belly. Every mischief was attributed to him. Every morsel that the cook applied to her own use, Pat was condemn' ed for stealing, and got flogged accordingly.— If the children broko the pitchers, capsized the buttermilk, or stole the cream, Pat only was blamed. Once ho got thrashed because a horse kicked him, ana nearly broke his leg.—- At another time he was severely punished for tumbling out of a hay loft and dislocating his shoulder; till, wearied with his servitude, he bade his master good day, determined to try his luck elsewhere. Cork was his.next desti nation, and having arrived, he was hired to at tend a hunter, and both were to be hired by any sea-officor who was desirous of a rido from the Cove into tho town; but they were such scare-crows, it was difficult to tell which had been starved most, or worst used.—When Pat first saw tho ocean, and the bulwarks ol old England proudly skimming o’er tho liquid ele ment, his heart begau to bound With joy.— “Henceforward,” says he, “my native land shall be tho briny wave.” Accordingly he en tered ^ix-hoard-4harttWw., frigato. ami laughed at and scouted him so much, that ltd soon got sick of the sea, even before he was sea sick. In about three w$ekd orders camo for sailing, and Pat was obliged'to hold on the nippers while heaving up iho anchor. This he didn’t mind; but ho couldn’t see the use of holding the end of a handful of rope-yarns, and so he dropt it and ran down below to his master. “Why ar’u't you on the maindeck, Paddy?” inquired tho ship’s corporal, laying on with his cane, “why ar’n’t you at the mes senger, Paddy?” whacK it went again, “or nt the, nippers, Paddy?” another thump. “What’s the matter?” Risked the purser—“Matter, sir?” cries Pat. “By my faith; sir, and I’m tired out with the ship, and every body abuses me.— When I first did myself the honor of becoming your servant, and taking you foi my master, I was proud of serving a rale jnqtleman, ami would do for your honor hy night or by day, or all day long, though they do call you nip- chaze, and say you ebate them out of their al lowance; but I know its not true, your honor. Well, dis spalpeen (pointing to the ship’s cor- mral) sent mo up stairs to get up tho anchor, !iut how, your honor, should I know where to find it? And then I got thrashed for that. They tould ine it was under the boy (buoy) and so £ axed every boy in tho ship, but they only made gamo of me, and led me a wild goose chose.— And then they said we should soon be under weigh. ‘Arrah,’ says I, 'wir-it weigh the ship?’ To be sure,’ says they. ‘Och,’ says I, ‘if they’d 1 land rto on the sod,’ says I, ‘by my conscience, but I’d take care never to bo weigh’d in such a pretty pair of scales as this again,’ and so they made me take hold of a nipper, because they said it was my musier's (your honor's) namesake; and then they stuck ever so many long poles into n barrel on tho ground, and began to run round as if they were mad. Oh, your honor, I don’t know what to make of it at all.” After this, Pat was turned over to the boatswain for two-tail-itch-um, I thinks they call it, and now he got it hot and warm. One day he tumbled overboard, and his master rope’s-endetf him for quitting tho ship without leave. Twice ho inahied the gunner’s daughter, fur thinking too loud that the first lieutenant was groggy; anJ he’d three do zen for his portion each time. “Halloo! ye murphy digger,” cried the boatswain, “is the dinner ready?” “Fuith and it is, sir,” says Pat, “only the bafe wants boiling, by taken that I forgot to give it to tho cook.” Well, he’d get thumped for that. “Is the kettle filled for tea?”—“Yes, sir, I’ll engage it is, seeing that it slipp’d overboard about two hours ngb, and is not come back yet.”—“Have you got my grog?”-—“Is it the rum you’re nmnoing? Sure mid its I that have got it, for being una ble to find a bottle, I whipt it under my jack et, so I did."—“Where is it then?”—“Arrah, where is it now! how cun you ax sich a thing? Wasn’t I afraid tho purser’s steward would chate you, and so to suvo your allowance, didn’t I swallow it whole.” Bi.t all these ho nest excuses only brought heavier vengeance upon poor Pnt—at last ho was sent forward and promoted to the foretop; but even there, while aloft with the cherubs, his evil genius followed him, and his old master, the boatswain, never failed to give him a token of remembrance, at least once a day. Being sent aloft on a parti cular occasion with a couple of foxes, to sicze a small block on to tho top-sail yard arm, he us ed the first fox, and theu made a slip-beud and fell overboard. It blowed a gale of wind and the sea was running very high; but tho boat was lowered from tho quarter, aud, after somo time, succeeded in picking him up, and he wns brought aboard almost exhausted, with thn re maining fox still in his hand. “You scoundrel,” criodtho captain, “how came you to be so lub berly ns to fall?”—“Faith, your honor,” repli nd P it Utnn hnnlento• »i*e mala Innld inn In Int n ed Pat, “tho boatswaiu’s mate tould me to let go wid my hands and hould on by my toos, and so I tried it, your honor, but it was only dono to desave me, bad luck to him.”—“And what nro you doing with that fox in your hand?”—"Ob, your honor, I took care of dat, for I was afraid * tho boatswain would thrash mo if I loft it be- _ hind; Och, botheration! but 1 wouldn’t have come back without it for the world.” Woll, soon after this, os he was grown n fine stout fellow, and tho captain, Lord-C—occa sionally gave him n couple of dozen at tho gangway to stretch his skin a-bit, he was made one of tho barge's crew, which ho said was the happiest day in his life; but ah! and alas! disas ters followed him still; for- being left boat- keeper, towing "astern when she had shipped two or throe heavy seas, he pulled up tho jilug from tho well to lot the water out, and then stretchod himself on tho oil thwarts to sleep; but, contrary to his expectations, the water, in stead of running cut, rushed in, die boat won swamped, and poor Pat found a watery grave. The barge was saved, but Pat was gone forev er. AN OLD SAILOR. Congress of Tacw'iaya.—On tho 11th May it was reported and believed at the Mexican Palace, that the commissioners from Peru to the Congress of Tacubaya, had arrived at Aca pulco, wilh the Panama treaty ratified by their government. It was understood'that Colom bia (in imitation of tho United States) intended to associate her resident minister with Dr. Gaul, to represent her in tho general congress. Tho extra or prolonged session of the Mexican congress, was drawing to a close; that body had not yet acted definitively upon the Panama treaty—considerable opposition to it was anti cipated—tho speedy assemblage of the congress of Tacubaya was thought to depend much up on the disposition which the Mexican republic might make of that treaty.—‘The insurrections in the Mexican provinces irad been suppressed —that in Durango without bloodshed. Ail end seems also to have put lo tho rebellion in Cen tral America. The city of San Salvador, tho appointed servant to the purser; but they ' head-quarters of the insurgents, had declared
