at Shortlalid’s head, with all the force his young
strength could give it. The stone passed as near
the check ot Shortland, who was on a line to the
left ofthe company,as possible without grazing it.
Ho halted his men ir.slanter, and quick as thought
gave the word lire, and distinctly as the extreme
agitated state of his mind would admit.
1 shall never, till the latest moment I retain my
senses, forget my sensations at the instant. Not
from fear alone did the curdling chill take its hold
upon me, for my situation was one of comparative
security, as the high stepson which I stood,were
exactly upon the right of the line as it was halt
ed, about 6 or 8 paces distant; but the shudder
arose from the expectation of the immediate effu
sion of blood, that must follow from the discharge
of the fire-arms upon those in front of the line.
There was standing, within twelve paces, the
whole of that solid body, which the soldiers were
trying to scatter, and who now were faced aoout,
looking unconcernedly upon the presented mus
kets of those that had the word to fire. The officer
in command of the company stepped forward, as
soon as he heard the wmrd given out, waved the
muskets up with his unsheathed sword, with as
much suavity of deportment and coolness of ac
tion, as though he was on drill duty under the eye
of the Prince Regent. Shorlland threw up his
extended arm and cane, to give greater force to
the command, and said as loud as he could screech
‘you darn’d ***** fire p The offi
cer again threw himself immediately before his
line, who had dropped their muskets once more
to the level of their cheeks, and with the aulhori
tive, ‘as you were!’ prevented the effusion of blood
that must have followed the carnage of so deadly
an aim, of so near a compact body, as was stand
ing in tneir front,
Shortlanu saw that h'is orders were not obeyed,
turned his eyes an instant to the ground, said not
a word, but left the vard alone, and was shortly
afterwards followed by the company of soldiers,
without being at ail molested by the crowd; nor
did the latter display any noisy mirth, or show
the least disrespect at the former, within my hear
ing, while passing out. During the short space
of time, from the (railing of the line to the pre
vention of Shorthand's second command to fire
being fulfilled, I did Hut hear a word spoken; and
when the muskets were levelled from the double ,
rank of soldiers, upon this near body of prisoners
there was not the least fluttering among those in
front, to screen themselves by edging into the
crowd. The only observable motion was a thrust
ing of the hands to the pockets, to hern readiness
with each his knife.
It appeared to me that one uniform presenti
ment pervaded life body of prisoners for the in
stant, amounting to a supposed security, that the
enormity of the act was too great to be carried in
to execution. Had the command to fire been
obeyed, it must have killed hundreds, yet there
would Lave been enough remaining to have riven
the hearts from their murderers, b.fore re-loading i
if no better weapous offered, than the teeth of j
the aggrieved.
I have not the least doubt, nor had those who j ,
saw Shorthand's manner at the above scene in the i
yard, tnat his mind was made up to be revenged
upon the prisoners at the first opportunity, and
at the slightest infringement of the prison regu- |
lations; and that period, those of more reflec
tive minds saw, could not be far distant, with the !
present excitement the prisoners weie laboring 1
under, which was brought about by various eau- :
ses. The p incipal of these were, the withhol
ding of the tobacco money, the men being retain
ed in prison after peace was proclaimed, the slop- ,
page of the market, and the harsh treatment of
being driven about like condemned criminals, at
the point of tlr* bayonet, when they would and £
did willingly submit to such restrictive regulations
es the civil authorities prescribed. s
W e crave pardon of him that is burrowed, for c
any seeming neglect, but to the chain of events,
that could not well be broken, rather than to any
forgetfulness on the part of his friends, must he
attribute his extra half-hour’s butiai.
After the commotion had subsided, the stone * 1
was lifted, and the nearly suffocated man was t
brought to the fresh air once more, almost ex
hausted, from being thus long and closely entom
bed. He declared, he would sooner return to his
former cell, than again be doubled into a hole, nut
large enough to contain a tox in a becoming atti
tude. ‘For.’ said he, ‘I had the greatest difficulty,
while the soldiers were probing with their bayonets
between the crevices ol" the stones, to refrain
from calling out, that it was fresh air I wanted,
and not cold steel !’
A few' days after these events, his friends met
to commemorate the successful manner they had
frustrated the intentions of Shortland, of secu
ring his stray prisoner. Atier the toasts had all
been expended, the escaped, thinking still his
‘disguise’ was sufficient to deceive the jailor’s scru
tiny, became daring ventured into the yard, was
recognised and apprehended. .Sot that the char
acter w as shammed, or not well kept up to nature,
but that old Carley, beirfg more conversant with
zigzag movements, than with the delicate tints
and bold shades of the cook’s smullings—having
had more experience in the vociferous out-poui
ings of ‘moistened clay’ than he possessed curios
ity to analyze the ludicrous grimace and harle
quin antics of a scaramouch dress, was enable to
indentify, and, with the help of the guard, to sc- j
cure his man, who to the present day avers, that
he never should have been captured, only for be
ing cornered. He was sect back to the cachot,
but suffered a nominal punishment of only ton
days confinement, after which he was liberated,
and soon left the prisons.
The above particulars, with additions, mine
host will relate in his own facetious way, to any
who may favor him with a call, and who has the
cwriosily to listen to an interesting tale, made the
more diverting, by his peculiar manner of gra
cing it with w'ell-told incidents, too numerous for
an insertion here. The reader must know, as I
have before hinted, that his early vocation to ‘reef j
and steer’ has given place to a calling, in which,
not only his friends, but his over-charged larder
and well covered board, say, he is better fitted to
become popular.

bales, and leaving on hand inclusive of ali on ship
board not cleared on the 29tb instant a stock of
127,684 bales.
The active demand for Cotton, which we no*
ticed in our report of Saturday morning as ba\ ing
prevailed during the latter part of the last week,
(Christmas excepted) was succeeded by a consid
erable degree of quiet on that day.buyers having
limited their purchases to about 2000 bales—pri
ces remaining, however, without perceptible va
riation. Gn Monday morning, advices were re- ■
ceived from Liverpool to the 14th and from Havre
to the 7tli November, per packet ship Sheridan at
New York.
Notwithstanding that these accounts are rather j
unfavorable, they have not had any influence
whatever on our market, the demand since Mon
day morning having been exceedingly brisk. The
sales on that day amounted to fully 91)00 bales, and
yesterday to 6000, making a total for the three
days ot. 17,0C0 bales. With the exception of a
slight advance in tiie rates for fair, our quotations
remain the same as before though we may remark
that the sales of all descriptions have been at tol
erably full prices, and that the market closes firm,
with only a moderate stock offering. As hereto
fore, buyers for England, and our Northern mar
kets, have been the largest operators, but there has
also been considerable doing for several ports on
the’Continent. There has but little doing, com
paratively on French account.
