He was fellow, whose friends had no in vest ; but, notwithstanding, he had a slight potion* o: the 4 sal sapit omnia system and heard, that when people in office spoke f. reign,’ or in parables, ‘ Donez tnoile sel, etje vouspasserailepoivre, was almost reduced to a prove rb among them ; yet still hoped promotion might come in battle, though he had been thirteen years a midshipman and had passed his qualify ing examination for lieutenant more than half that time. t* jyjorl iDd followed this hero of the or lop, and dread of the afterguard and miz entopmen, to the dark but merry regions of the cockpit. “ As they descended from deck to deck, he was no! less astonished at the immense size of the ship, and the long tiers of can*, non levelled along each side, than at the multitude of sailors and marines scattered among these tremendous batteries “ On entering the cockpit, their ears were assailed by the confusipn of noises ; but descending from the day, they could see bui little by the dull gleam of the sentinel’s lamp. 44 before they reached the door of the mess place, Peters tumbled over a trunk, which had evidently been placed in his way for the purpose, as a loud laugh ac companied his fall. He swore at conside rable length at certain personages with short and long names, s*>rre of whom, though decked with honourable Mtles in the Court Calendar, received appellations of the most quesdonahle purport; as he vowed venge ance on the clews of their hammocks, if not up by seven bells in the morning. 44 This was succeeded by another laugh, and 4 Bravo, Peter!’ (f. r they sent the s to prison) accompanied bv a hat thrown with malice prepense , which struck him on the head, as he opened the birth door over which he presided. 44 Two lights burned dimly in the heated atmosphete of a close cabin, showing as motley a scene as could well be imagined iu so small a space 44 At the sides of the cabin were dirks and swords ; on the handles of which hung a few stray cocked hats. The open buf fets, filled with glasses and broken crocke ry faced the door the caterer’s seat being in the centre; over which suspended the rules of the mess. Quad and Quammino, two black servants, occupied a narow pace next the ship’s side, called the wing, the secret lodgings of disheiouts and dirty table cloths,where the rustling of the waves against the ship s side could he distinctly heard, indicating the head to be on a level with the surface of he sea 44 The company assembled in this sub marine abode consisted of twelve 4 young gentlemen,* as they are denominated, tho more than one approached the age of thir ty. They all ranked in the class of petty officers, and the assistant surgeon among the rest. 14 One midshipman was playing the vio lin, or the 4 violent, as his messmates call ed it; another the flute ; two were occupi ed at the chess-board ; one working a tide outof ’ohn Hamilton Moore; and another drawing a pipe and glass of grog in the hands of a rudely engraved personage, who is found on the frontispiece of that old na vigation book. Three youngsters, weary with their watch, were endeavouring to sleep with then head on the table ; w hile a fourth tickled their ears with a quill, or burnt them with lighted paper ; and the twelfth was a midshipman of the watch, with his hat on, and a cup in Ins hand, ask mg Quad for wine; but he departed on the appearance of Peters, who cursed him f° r a young skulker, and bid him 4 scud on deck ’ “ ‘Saunders, said Peters as he address ed himself to the discordant catgut-scra- P er i 4 here’s another cf y our countrymen Caught in the burgoo tub, and brought from the land o cakes with a smack load of doc tors’ mates ; or, as Diachylon will have it, Surgeons assistants.* 44 4 I am not a Scotchman,’ said Morland. 44 No one, however, paid the least atten tion to him; and Saunders struck up, in a broad accent, accompanied by his screech ing instrument— a £ u^hn ?

In the middle of the night, however, when sleep had reconciled him to his blankets and the strangeness of his hammock, he came suddenly to the deck, bed and bedding ; and awakened by the clatter of shot aboui him, on examination found two twenty foui pounders in Ids bed, the foot of which was on the deck, and the clothes scattered about the cockpit. The sentinel assisted to hang up his hammock, instructed him to let the reef out of his sheets, and promising to protect him from further molestation dur ing the watch, be slept soundly till the morning, when Peters was loud in his calls to"the lady mids 4 to rouse outand the do zy muzzy, who had the middle watch, ant’ was the perpetrator of tlte nocturnal mis chief on Morland’s hammock, was actually cut down in a similar manner by Peters justified by virtue of his office. [From the Chibs of London .] Dundas end the Barber. —Before Ilenrv Du ml as, afterwards Lord Melville, had ob tained tiie patronage of Scotland, he not very popular with the natives of that country ; indeed the inhabitants of the good town of Edinboro, at onetime sought his life, and would have sacrificed him to their fury, for having boen concerned in certain measures to which the geueral opi nion was opposed. In this state of the public mind, he made a visit to the Scottish capital, and being oue day recognized walking on the north bridge or mound, lie was surrounded by an im mense mob, who hustled him in a very rude manner, and made prepartions to throw hi n over the parapet. Luckily, he hap pened to have a considerable quantity of money in his pocket, in the shape of notes and silver, which he had the presence of mind tn throw, alternately , among thorn, so as to divert their attention, whilst he uue’e all possible way for the mansion of the Lord Provost ; where, after great difficulty, and having disposed of his last shilling, he ar rived and found refuge and protection. The mob increased, however, and sur rounded the Chief Magistrates’s house ery ing vehemently, 44 Put out Dundas! put out Dundas l * and behaved otherwise in a very riotous manner. At length the pro vost, fearing they would proceed to extre mities, came out and addressed them on the duties of hospitality, and on the ancient and uniform character of the Scots for the exercise of that virtue; and concluded hy saying, ihalhe 44 himself would prefer fill ing a victim to their fury rather than eject any person who had sought the asylum of his roof.* This was an appeal which no Scotchman could withstand more particu larly as it came from a man whose amieuity of character and mild ciispositi n had ren dered him generally beloved. Having given the Provost three cheers, they quietly dis persed to their houses. Whilst he remained in Edinbuigh on this occasion, Mr, Dundas took care not ti show himself again in the streets, but soon took his departure for London. Soon afterwards being obliged to revisii his native country, and knowing the storm had blown over, he met with a very odd adventure, but one which terrified bin equally, if not more so, than that on tin North Bridge. Ii seems that he had recent ly been accessary to some obnoxious mea sure ; not, however, of such general im portance as the former ops : it was such a? to keep alive the public feeling, though not sufficient to blow it into actual flame. In this state of things he arrived at an ho tel in Edinbuigh,and next morning sent for a barber to shave him. The Tensor, who happened to be a wag, on entering the room, saluted Mr Dundas and welcomed him to Edinburgh, Then having decorated him with an apron, he began to lather his face ; during which ope ration, he cast upon him sundry scowling and penetrating glances, the meaning of which the stranger could not comprehend. At length flourishing his razor, he said in a sharp and stern voice— *4 We are much obliged to you, Mr Dundas, for the port you lately took in London.*’ | 14 What ! * replied the Secretary, 44 you are a politician I find ? I sent for a bar ber.” 44 Oh yes,’* returned the night of the pewter basin, 44 I’ll shave you directly, ’ which he did, until one half of the beard was cleanly mowed: when coming to his throat, he drew the back of the razor across it, saying, 44 take that ye traitor !”—and off he ran, down stairs, into the street. V\ hethei Mr, Dundas had previously felt any uneasiness at the barber’s manner, we know not; but the latter expression—the action being so well suited to the word, in duced him instantly to apply the apron to ns throat, and to make a loud guggling noise, which being heard by some ot the >eople of the bouso, they immediately ran > his assistance. They soon discovored, jy the pantomimic gestures of Mr. Dundas what had occurred, and it w T as not long be fore the room vvas full of members ot the : Facuity, of all degrees ; apothecaries, sur- j _!eons, and physicians! It was a consider able time before the patient could be pre vailed on to remove the apron and expose his throat ; but at length, when he diJ so, 1 with much caution—it was found to be in a perfectly whole stale i there not being even a scar vizible ! Though Mr. Dundas had much reason to be delighted at having escaped nnhurt v he was a little mortified at the laugh which this adventure occasioned ; and his chagrin was greatly increased when he. found he had to pay for the attendance of the medi cal gentlemen; which having done, and having shaved the other side of his face himself for he would trust uo more barbers, he decamped from Edinburgh, and did not return for many years. Dreadful Explosion in a Coal Mine. — On the 27th March, says a tetter from Liege, at 7 o’clock in the evening an ex l plosion threw down a whole gallery iu a coal mine, at *eraing (Belgium) Seventy [ one miners were at work, thirty-nine of | them were killed, eight others suffocated, | and twenty-four escaped, being in a part of | tho mine to which the explosion did not I extend. The explosion was heard half a league from Seraing, and the flame from (he mine rose through the air-shaft eight or ten feet. The suffocated people were found much swollen, but their bodies wre entire. Notwithstanding the violence the injury dope to the mine is not so great as was apprehended. Th,e air-shaft is injured towards the bottom, and the lower ladders are in a bad state. The iron carts ustd for transporting the coals from the distant parts ot the mine have been flattened and bent iu all m inner of shapes. Two horses , were, killed, and so swollen that their coi ns were burst. The cause of the cxjdo -ion is not known. From the British Magazine. , AN UNCOMMON PARTNER AT CARDS. In our regiment, whilst in the East Indies, were i several wild young fellows, none more so than I ; and as our life there, was very monotonous, the , officers betook themselves to gaming. One day after dinner, cards were brought, and several of us entered with such energy into the fascinating game, that every thing else was in a manner ne glected. At length we changed it, and betook ourselves in couples to separate games. I and en • ; sign A , as gay and rakish a rascal as ever turned out from England, that we might pursue our game uninterruptedly, ordered the servant to carry out into a, kind of a summer house, a de canter or two of wine, and the cards ; and thither we. soon followed. We played with intense ea gerness for several hours, till it grew so dark that we could hardly see what was before us. I hail been the gainer all the evening. 4 Come, A said I, addressing my companion, 4 I’m sure it is high time we should quit the cards and return for we’ve a good deal of regimental business to do to night.’ 4 Stay, and finish the game, you will not move an inch till then,’ ‘ I tell you A * , I must and will be gone ; why should we thus make toil of pleasure, and besides gain anoth er rebuke from the Colonel ? 11l aw’ay.’ 4 Stay an/t try emo muro gn-mo,’ A , ---£ hand on my arm, and 1 11 win back what I’ve lost !’ I may perhaps to-morrow, but now, go I will.’— ‘ Then replied my companion, 4 if you do go, I’ll stop and finish the game, if I have the devil for my partner!’ ‘A merry game, and a pleasant companion to you ; farewell!’ said I, and left the room. I hastened to my own apartment, whore I had a good deal of regimental business to trans act. I had not been so engaged long, when the door was flung hastily open, and in rushed ensign A , and his eyes staring with horror, and his cheek as pale as marble, lie sat down on a chair, looked fixedly on me, but without speaking a word. I called for wine, and got him to swal low a little. The oold perspiration burst from his forehead, and his eyes glared into every corner of the room, as. though apprehensive thtft some wild beast was ready to spring upon him. “Why, A said 1, shaking turn, 4 what is the matter with you ? Are you mad ?’ He made no answer, except by a faint murmuring kind of indistinct whisper. Are 4 you frightened—or—or what ?* continued I, motioning to the servant to leave the ro\m. By degrees my companion became com posed. 4 Oh, T ,’ said he faintly and slow ly— ‘ lam a lost man—a dead man !’ pshaw, my good fellow, what is the matter with you ? You’ve been too free with the wine ; and that, added to your heated spirits, has nearly overturned your brain.’ 4 No, T f he replied, lam sober now, if I never was so before in my life. But my days on earth are numbered ! —Next Tuesday 1 shall be no longer an inhabitant of this world !’— There was something so indescribably affecting, 1 iiiay say shocking in the deep deliberate tone of voice with which he uttered this, as well as the steady ashy hue of his countenance, that I sat down by his side without speaking. At length taking his hand in mine, Tasked him, in as soothing a manner as I was able, what had caused his terror. “Do you remember what 1 said', T ,on your leaving me to-night ?— 44 Faith, yes ; was it not that you would play if you had the devii for a partner ?” 44 Yes.” replied A , with a sickening sinile—“ I did so—and he took me at my word r he continued, gasping, ss if for breath. “ Why ; why” stammered I partaking o* his fright— 44 Why, A , you dont mean to say that ” 44 1 mean to say simply this,” replied my companion, with a dreadful calmness, “that Sa tan has taken me at ‘my word. A few moments after you had left me, 1 leaned my head on my hands, and shut my eyes. Immediately J *rard a rustling among the cards on the table bo fore me. I started, and—” a convulsive shuddering shook his frame, 44 there sat opposite to me, in the chair which you had just left vacant, a tall, pale man, dressed in black. Why, how in the s name did you come here ?” saidl, in amazement. 44 T0 finish the game with you, as you wished,” said the stranger, deliberately, at the same time ar ranging the cards. I saw his hands were as white as alabastar, and he put the cards in order with amazing care and skill. He offered me a pack.— 4 W hy, why, who are you, and whence did you come ?” stammered I, at the same time that my eyes seemed dancing in my head, and my knees smote together with agitation. 44 1 am come to finish the game with you, at yoUr ow n request,” said the stranger, precisely in the same tone and manner as before. I would have answered, but my tongue clave to the roof of my mouth. 44 Why do you not take the cards ?” said the stranger in a hollow tone— 44 Will you finish the game accord ing to your promise ?” “No!” I contrived to ( stammer out. His eyes glared on me, as though ; his head was filled with vivid fire. He rose, and J bending his fiendish face close to mine, thunder- i ed in my ear, 4 This night week, then, thou shalt finish it in hell 1” My eyes closed unconsciously, as though they would never open again ; when I looked up however, none but myself was in the room, and as fast as my trembling limbs would car ry me, have I come hither. Oh, T————, I am a dead man !I am doomed !”—Such w r as the fear ful narrative of ensign A———, W e got him to j bed. A delirium seized him, the brain ftVCI fol lowed, and that night week he died. * Prom the Philadelphia Chronicle. Our New York brethren have often boasted of the rapidity with which then city is overtaking the great commercial towns of England. It must, be confessed, that, in some respects their pretensions art well founded. The Morning Courier, ot yesterday, relates an incident which might well be thought to have been transferied from a London paper. A young woman, itt male attire, was taken from the Bowery Theatre, on Sasmday evening by Hays, the police officer. When brought before the magistrates, she gave the following ac count of herself:— Her father is a boat maker in some part of Canada ; she was seduced from her parents by a young man, who subse quently abandoned her. She was then reduced to the necessity of resorting to the means which wretched, unfortunate females employ for procuring subsistence. Be coming, in a short time clisgusied with the life she was obliged to lead, and in order to avoid the snares of the wicked, she re solved upon assuming nude attire, in which she was of opinion she would procure better wages than as a female servant. It was about twelve months ago she assumed the breeche, since which time she has filled the several situations of horse jockey,waiter and travelling gentleman, adopting each profession, when circumstances rendered it adviseable. The equestrian is her favorite •node of travelling, and at present she is possessed of a first rate roadster. She lamented exceedingly, her being obliged to resume the petticoats and to leave off her masculine exercises, which she greatly : preferred to those of the softer sex Two Negatives make a Positive. —Mr. Pitt was remarkable lor giving his opinions with great positiveness; at a Cabinet din ner, be was once expatiating on the beauty of the Latin language ; and as an argument in favour of the superiority which he af firmed it had over the English he said, that two negatives made a tiling more posi tive, than one affirmative possibly could do. “Ah! then,* said Lord Thurlow, “ your father and mother must have been two we gativesL to have made such a positive fellow as you are n The Olive Tree. There are on the southern borders f the Crimea, two varie ues of the olive tree, which have become indigenous there. The one is pyramidical, and its fruit is perfectly oval; the branch es of the other are pendant, and its fruit is large, heart-shaped and abundant. These valuable trees have resisted the injuries of centuries, and of successive nations of bar barians. In 1812, an imperial garden was formed at Nikita, (Russia,) into which the cultivation of thost useful trees was intro duced by means of cuttings or slips which no extremity of cold has hitherto effected, although some olive trees brought from France, perished in the same garden ip the winter of 1825-6. Mr. Curran, cross examining a horse jockey’s servant, asked his master’s age. 1 I never put my hand in his mouth to try,’ answered the witness. The laugh was against the counsel, until he retorted, did perfectly right friend, for your master is said to be a great bite * From Sir Walter Scott's new novel of the Fair Maid of Perth. THE LAY OF POOR LOUISE. Ah, poor Louise ! The live-long day She roams from cot to castle gray ; And still her voice and viol say, Ah maids, beware the woodland way, Think on Louise. Ah, poor Louise ! The sun was high, It smirched her cheek, it dimm’d her eye, The woodland walk was cool and nigh, Where birds with chiming streamlets vie, To cheer Louise. Ah, poor Louise ! The savage bear Made iie’r that lovely grove his lair ; The wolves molest not paths so fair— But better far had such been there For poor Louise. Ah, poor Louise ! In woody wold She rnet a huntsman fair and bold, His baldrick was of silk and gold, And many a witching tale he told To poor Louise. Ah, poor Louise ! small cause to pine Hadst thou for treasures of the mine ; For peace of mind that gift divine, And spotless innocence, were thine, Ah poor Louise 1 Ah poor Louise ! Thy treasure’s rest * | I know force or theft Or part by violence, or part by gift j But misery is all that’s left To poor Louise! Let poor Louise some succour have ! She will not long your bounty crave, Or tire the gay with warning stave— For heaven nas grace, and earth a grave For poor Louise.
