FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 6. Farmers’ i.egistcr. For the contents of the February No. of this valuable Agricultural periodical, our readers ore referred to another column. Hungarian Singers. By an advertisement in this day’s paper, it will be seen that these Vocalists give Concerts on Monday and Tuesduy Evenings next, at the Ma sonic Hall. Os their extraordinary powers, which have been so much lauded since (heir arrival in this country, of course we cannot speak know ingly, as we have never witnessed their exhibi tion. We however feel assured that the lovers of song may confidently rely upon a rare speci men of Vocal Music, as surprising as it is capti vating. The Mails. Scarcely a day p isses that we do not receive a complaint from some quarter or other, of the non arrival of our paper at its destination. And not unfrequently we loose a subscriber because of this neglect on the part of Post Masters. We can assure our friends, the fault is not ours that they do not get their papers regularly, for they are regularly put up and placed in the office in this city, after which we cannot possibly con trol them. And we hope that no Post Master is so insensible of the moral obligations of his oath, as to detain or intentionally turn them from the direct route. We yesterday received a letter of which the following is an extract. His paper is placed in the office daily, before the departure of the mail from the city. Gbstiemex :—I am a subscriber for the Dai ly Chronicle & Sentinel, but for the last three weeks have not received it as often as the sub scribers for the Tri-weekly paper. There is cer tainly neglect some where, which, if continued, will compel me, tho reluctantly 7 , to discontinue my subscription. Your obedient servant. Portrait of Robert Y. liayne. We perceive by an advertisement in the Charleston Courier of yesterday, that subscrip' tions are opened in that city, for taking an engra ving, from a portrait, by I.ongacre, of this dis tinguished patriot and son of Carolina. The portrait by Longacrc was taken in 1830, and is represented by the friends of Gen. H. as the best likeness extant. The engraving will be on a royal folio sheet, and delivered to subscribers at two dollars. JBostou and 'Wagner. The last Spirit of the Times contains a chal lenge from the owner of Bos’on to the owner of Wagner, to run a match race, on the 271 h day of October next, four mile heats, for $25,000 a side, half forfeit, over any course, which Col. Wade Hampton and a gentleman to be selected by the owner of Wagner, shall designate as the Southern Middle course, between N. Orleans and Washington City. From this.it would seem that the amateurs of the turf may confidently anticipate a match be tween these two celebrated horses, as the owner of Wagner had in a previous number of the “Spirit,” announced himseh ready to iiear from Boston. Our Condition mid the Causes. The following graphic sketch of the gloom which pervades all classes of business throughout this vast republic, we extract from the late speech delivered by Mr. Clay, in the Senate, on the Sub- Treasury bill. VVc commend it most cordially to the careful perusal ol our readers. It is with no ulea-ure, but with profound re gret, that I survey Hie present condition of our countiy. I have rarely. 1 Inink never, known a period of such uuiver-.d and intense distress.— The General G tvermnent is in debt, and its exis ting revenue is inadequate to meet its ordinary | expenditure. The Stales are in debt, some of | tl cm largely in debt, insomuch that they have been compelled to resort to the ruinous expedient of contracting new loans to meet the interest upon prior loans; and the people arc surrounded with difficulties, greatly embarrassed, and involv ed in debt. Whilst this is, unfortunately, the general state of the country, the means of extin guishing this vast muss of debt are in constant diminution. Properly is falling in value—all the great staples of the country are declining in price, and destined, I fear, to further decline.— Tho ce.tain tendency of this very measure is to reduce prices. The banks aie rapidly decreas ing the amount of their circulation. About one half of them, extending from New Jersey to the extreme Southwest, have suspended specie pay ments, presenting an image of a paralytic, one | moiety of whose body is stricken with palsy.— ( The banks are without a head; and, instead of union, concert and co-operation between them, we behold jealousy, distrust and enmity. We have no currency whatever possessing uniform value throughout the whole country. I hat which we have, const ling aim 'si entirely of llie issues es banks is in a siu'e of the utmost disorder, tn gu...iieh that a varies, in comparison with the specie standard, from par to fifty per cent dis count. Exchanges too, are in the greatest pos sible confusion, not merely between distant parts of the Union, hut between cities and places in tho same neighborhood. That between our great commercial marts of New York and Phil adelphia, within five or six hours of each other, vacillating between seven and ten per cent. The products of our agricultural industry arc unable to find their way to market from the want of means in the hands of traders to uurchnse them, or from the want of confidence m the stability of things. Many of our manufactories stopped or stopping, especially in the important branch of woollens; and a vast accumulation of their fabrics on h uid, owing to the destruction of confidence and the wretched state of exchange between dif ferent sections of the Union. Such is the unexaggeroted picture of our pro sent condition. And amidst the dark and dense cloud that surrounds us, I perceive not one gleam of light. It gives me nothing but pain to sketch the picture. Butduty and truth requite that ex isting diseases should bo fearlessly examined aiul probed to the bnttooi. We shall otherwise'be utterly incapable of conceiving or applying ap propriate remedies. If the present unhappy llate of our country hud been brought upon the pim ple by their folly and extravagance, it ought to lie borne with fortitude, and without complaint, and without reproach. Hut it is my dtafibet ate judg ment that it lias not been—that the people are not to be blamed—and that the principal causes of existing embarrassments ore not to be traced to I hem. Sir, it is not my purpose to waste the time or excite the feelings of members of the - Se nate by dwelling long on what I suppose to he those causes. My object is n better, a higher, arid I hope a more acceptable one—to consider the remedies proposed for the present exigency. Still, I should not fulfil my whole duty if I did not briefly say that, in my conscience. I believe our pecuniary distresses have mainly sprung from the refusal to re-charter the late Bank of the United States; the removal of the uublic depo sitee from that institution; the multiplication of State Banks in consequence; and tho Treasury stimulus given to them to extend their operations; the bungling manner in which the law, deposit ing the surplus treasure with the States, was ex ecuted; the Treasury Circular; and last, perhaps not least, the exercise of the power of the veto on the bill for distributing, among the States, the net proceeds of the sales of the public lands. What, Mr. President, is needed, at die present crisis, to restore the prosperity of the peoplcl A sound local currency, mixed with a currency possessing uniform value throughout the whole country; a re-establishment of regular exchan ges between different parts of the Union; and a revival of general confidence. The people want, in short, good government at Wasliington; the abandonment of rasli and ruinous experiments; the practice here of economy; and the pursuit of the safe ligob of experience. Give us these, and the growth of our population, the enterprise of our people, and the abundance, variety and richness of tho productions of our soil and of our industry, with the blessing of Providence, will ca ,- ry us triumphantly through all our com plicated embarrassments. Deny these—perse vere in a mal-administration of government—and it is in vain that the bounties of Heaven are pro fusely scattered around us. There is one man—and I lament to say, from the current of events and the progress of Execu tive and party power—but one man. at present in (he country, who can bring relief to it, and bind up the bleeding wounds of the People. He, of all me., in tile nation, ought to feel as a parent should feel, most sensibly, the distresses and suf ferings of his family. But, looking to his public course and his official acts, I am constrained to say that he surveys unconcerned the wide-spread ruin and bankruptcy and wretchedness before him, without emotion and without sympathy. Whilst all the elements of destruction are at work, and the storm is raging, the Chief Magis trate, standing in the midst of his unprotected fellow citizens, on the distinguished position of honor and confidence to which their suffrages have devoted him, deliberately wraps around him sell the folds of his india-rubber cloak, and, lilt ing his umbrella over ids head, tells them, dren ched and shivering as they are under the beating rain mid hail and snow fulling upon them, that he means to take care of himself and the official corps, and that they are in the habit of expecting too much from Government, and must look out for their own shekel, and security, and salvation! * . » » » * * Mr. President, for ten longyears we have been warring against the alarming growth ofExecutive power: but, although we have been occasionally cheered, it has been constantly advancing and never receding. You may talk as you please about bank expansions. There has been no per nicious expansions in this country like that of Executive power: and, unlike the operations of banks, this power never has any periods of con traction. You may denounce as you please the usurpations of Congress. There has been no usurpation but that of the Executive, which has been upon both of the powers of other co-ordinate departments of this Government and upon the Slates. There scarcely remains any power in this Government but that of the President. He suggests, originates, controls, checks every tiling. The insatiable spirit of the Stuarts, for power and prerogative, was brought upon our American throne on the 4th of March 1829. It came un der all the usual false and hypocritical pretences and disguises of love of the People, desire of re form, and diffidence of power. The Scotch dy nasty still continues. We have had Charles the First, and now have Charles the Second. But I again thank God that our deliverance is not dis tant; and that, on the 4tr. <>f March. 1841 a g'eat and glorious revolution, without blood and without convulsion, will be achieved. From the Savannah Georgian. From Florida. We have advices to 20th ult. from the Camp near the Gulf of Mexico, and South-East of the Suwannee. Gen. Taylor on the 30th January last wrote to Adj. Gen. Jones, at Washington, that “an examination of the Wacasassa country by four companies of the 2d Infantry, will im mediately be commenced.” Their operations are detailed by a correspondent, whose letter enables us to stale, that the campaign ordered by Gen. Taylor, in the Order No. B—which appears in our columns, commenced on the 3d ult. and has been steadily persevered in ; the troops encoun tering every species of hardship without a mur mur. The scouts are generally absent five days, officers as well as men carrying their provisions upon their backs. Smith of the Cam)) and between the mouths of the Suwannee and Wacasassa me country is very low and marshy. The troops in many instances have matched four miles, almost knee deep in mud. They have frequently encamped, through necessity, in the sail marsh, w .ich bo-ders the Gulf of Mexico, and been obliged to use salt water. The duly assigned to the Battalion cannot be completed before the end of March. The dogs from St. Marks did not reach the Camp until within a few days previous to our advices, and as n yet no opportunity find been afforded of testing r them upon fresh trails. !■ I rev ions to their arrival the troops flushed r . three different camps, taking from the enemy, e who escaped into the swamps, large quantities of *1 plunder, to wit: deer and other skins, bearskins, 1 clothes, garden seeds, adzes, axes, hatchets, l - &c. vScc ; the latter articles having, it is believed, d been carried off by them, while on some inarau r ding expedition in Middle Florida. I On the Blh ult. Company B. under the com s inand of Capt. Smith, Company C. under Capt. c Casi y, Company K. under Lieut. Alhurtis, and Company L. under Lieut. Wcstcotf. atarledfrom Camp Kingsbury, 10 miles from Fort Fanning " °n the Suwannee river, on a scout of five days 0 down to the Oult, officers and men carrying their a provisions on their backs; the Companies taking b different directions. Tho same morning Lieut. McKinstry started wit i an escort ofyp-n vol *• nntccrs to make a reconnoisance of tliNdtam e mock, east of the camp. Dr. MaxweM and CTkpt. ” Kings!uiiy accompanied Lieut. McK. They e penetrated but a short distance into tho hapi mocks, parly e dians, anirrapMimTllieir packs, &c. tho game not proving trutCgame. Towards evening Capt. K. directed the volunteers to return to the camp e they flushed in the morning, and conceal thom s selves, hoping that the Indians would return for 1 their packs. While endeavoring to execute the 0 order, the Indians made their appearance on the ■ edge of the hammocks, yelling and inviting tho 3 volunteers to a tight, who being weak in numbers , declined ami retreated to camp. They estimated r the Indians to be thirty in number, • The same day Lt. Westcottcame unexpected -1 ly upon a camp of Indians near the Gulf. They s fired npon him, but on his returning the fire, int lf mediately retreated, leaving behind them all their 3 plunder, which was very considerable. The same • day Capt. Smith also flushed a party and esptur f cd their packs. i Our correspondent believes that if the troops ! had had the dogs on these occasions, they would - have captured the Indians. The following officers arc attached to this s command:—Major Loomis, Captains Kingsbury, 1 Smith and Casey ; Lieut. Allen, Top. Eng’s.; 3 Lieuts. Alhu.tis, McKinstry, Westcott and Ma rion ; and Surgeon Maxwell, t , 1 Correspondence of the National Intelligencer. 1 New York, Feb. 29, 1840. From Rio Janeiro we have dates to January , 14, with later dates from Montevideo. The ~ French blockade on the River Plate was not raised > and the expected battle had not taken place near . Montevideo. Flour was on the rise at Rio. The I French Admiral, Dupotet, with his squadron, reached Montevideo Dec. 22. . Letters from England indicate that the British | Government was concentrating a powerful naval f force toward Canton. This preparation looks as ) if England intended to have a brush with tho . Chinese. Exchanges on England from the packets of ] Monday ranges from 107 Jto 108 j. There is . no change of consequence in stocks. There is no city news of importance. Flour is going down. , Southern is held at $5 50 to $5 75. The de . mand, however, is very limited. t 1 A correspondent of the New York Courier & , Enquirer, (the Spy in Washington.) in a letter t of the 20th ult. has the following remarks; “During the first week in January, I gave you ; a sketch of parties here. In rny letters on that > subject I refered to the collisions which were likely I to ensue among the loco focus, on the subject of : the Vice Presidency. I slated that Mr. Polk from . the then aspect of affairs, would present the t strongest force in the field, as he was the choice ■ of General Jicksmi. You have probably seen L the movement in Virginia on the subject. The f party in that Stale go for Mr. Polk, and yet his i prospects within the last four weeks have not ini . proved. Tile friends of Col. R. M. Johnson ■ evince syniotoms of discontent at the pre-deter ■ initiation to set aside that gallant This r fact, combined with the pertinacity of other aspi t rants, has caused some fluttering in the loco fuco I camp, r “The fast gathering storm has produced a new t movement on the political Chess Board. Toe ! Hon. the Secretary of War enters the arena ns candidate for the Vice Piesidcncy. This is i rather unexpected. A pamphlet has been written ; and in circulation among the faithful in Pennsyl r vania. It is highly complimentary to Mr. Poin- I sett, and if the hints which I have received, are s well founded, it is written by a gentleman perfect . ly competent to delineate the true character of I' the Secretary. But why this secrecy in the dis f tribution of the pamphlet! why confine its circu • lation to a select few ? : “ It is whispered here, in Court circles and a i mong Courtiers, that thi pamphlet is a pulse fcel i er. That there arc those in the tanks of the t administration parly, who apprehend that they i cannot unite on a candidate for the Vice Prcsi i dency. and that it will he the better policy to let ; each State make its own selection for that office. . In this view of the queston, the greater number I of the candidates in the field, the more certain to i effect the object.” 1 From the Baltimore American, lat in . From Calcttta.— Tho ship Active, arrived here last evening, in 106 days from Calcutta, via St. Helena,and 34 days from the latter port, with Saltpetre, Silks and Hides, to George Beatty left Calcutta on the 15th of November, and Sand | Heads on the 10th at noon. While at St. Helena, learnt from the officers of the ships Talbot and Aplhorp, American ships both houno to New York, that the Chinese had attacked an American frigate between Whompou and Lintin, in the night,—laki n probably for an English ship—when an action commenced he | tween the junks and the | Americans, in which it 1 is supposed that 500 natives were killed. The town of Wompoa was blockaded by the English and Americans conjointly. A Goon Illustiiation. —Mr. Smith, of In diana, while discoursing, in the Senate, against the everlasting theorizing of members, and their pulifferenee to practical results, thus enforced his wn views ; Mr. S. said he was sick, heart-sick, of hearing speeches—speeches, and no relief—no prospect of relief to the People. The course of gentlemen (Mr. S said) reminded him of one of the most affecting incidents of his life. He was sent for to ' the sick bed of a valued friend, he found hisfriend near his dissolution; his whole appearance indi i cated speedy departure. Mr. (8. asked the atten ding physician if there could be no remedy—if there was no relief! The Doctor shook his head, and rep ied. None, I fear; the ease is fe ver; I have given him calo eel, dose alter dose, from twenty to fifty grains, but it seems to have no effect upon linn. But, Doctor, w,II not you i try something else I No, sir ; the case is fever, and the books say calomel is the remedy; wc i must follow tbe books. But do you not sec tho patient is dying! Your remedy is certainly not the correct one, or you would not kill your pa tients with it. His friend died, and Mr. S. had the poor consolation of knowing that he had ta ken calomel in doses prescribed by the books;but all were not so well satisfied that it was tbe best remedy for the disease as applied to that particu lar patient, although it might have been judicious in some eases. So, said Mr S. you have been giving calomel, calomel, calomel, possibly as pro scribed by some ol your books; but do you not see your patient is dying. Do you not see voo will ruin the country by your policy ! Will you persist ? Mississippi Bank*.— The Mississippi Bank- Bill has passed the Legislature in its most obnox ious lonn. —The original bill, as it passed the House, was amended in the Senate, and sent back to the House for concurrence. Tho House d sagreed to the amendments—the Senate adher ed; and the House adhered to its disagreement. The Senate then resolved the House out of or der, und the House refused to receive the mes sage. Afterwards, the Senate reconsidered its resolution declaring the House out of order, and respectfully requested tho House to reconsider its adherence to the disagreement that a conference might lh- had. Tho House reconsidered and ap pointed a committee of conference—-the Senate another. Atlei two sittings, the conferees agreed unanimously to the main principles of the bill, as reported by the chairman of the committee on hanks and the currency.—The report was agreed to by both houses, and has been approved by the Governor, and is now a law of the land. The bill provides that the Banks, generally, shall resume specie payments by the first day of April next; and upon their failing s« to do, that the Goveruoi shall issue his proclamation, declar ing the charter of the Banks, so failing, forfeited. The Union Bank is exempted from the provis ions of the bill, it being deemed by the legisla ture best that separate action be hud in regard to it.— Mobile Chronicle.. From the New Orleans Bulletin. Court of Nations. The suggestion has oftimes been made by the humane and enlightened, that there is a better inode of settling tho disputes of nations than by t-e sword. All must acknowledge the uncertain and inadequate remedy afforded by an-appeal' to arms. How often do nations go to war for the reeo>ery of what has been unjustly taken, and by the issue of the strife, lose what they contend ed for, and a great deal' more to hoot. The cost of war is enormous, and if the winner in. the game has to pay his own expenses, the prize is seldom worth the expense of its attainment.— Hostilities commenced from motives ot retalia tion, very generally end in the infliction of inju ries tenfold greater than those sought to be ic wenged. Os all remedies, however, it is tha -worst for settling controverted claims. Tho is sues of Iwttles can never be, except by chance, the decisions of equity and justice. Our barba rous ancestors are frequently ridiculed fur the practice of judiciary duels, deciding civil suits by wager ol battle. Have not the civilized rmlioffs -of modern times laid themselves under a likerttn putalion of weakness and folly, by appealing to the God of battles for the trial of controversies, under the vague apprehension or hope, that hea ven would give the victory to the side which had, the right? We are glad to see that notions more correct and humane are beginning to gain ground on this subject. Mankind have had their ■eyes opened to the havoc and insanity of war, and one of the most encouraging signs of the times is, the formation of associations to- puts stop to this scourge of nations. We noticed that not long since two petitions were presented by Mr. Clay to the U. S. Senate tho one front Massachusetts the other from Ptmn sylvania, [waving that a movement, should he made by tbe Government of the United (States, with a view to-the establishment of a- Congress of nations for the adjustment of international questions and difficulties.—The petitions came from soeiti cs formed to promote tills pacific and great objec t. There is i inch force und plausibili ty in she suggestion. The pan of establishing a grand court where nations might iniplend t each other, presents certainly a prospect of adjudica ting up >n international controversies, m a niu\- tier at once equitable, peaceable, and satisfactory' to all parties. The Judges of so august a Tri bunal would he exalted above all suspicion of partiality und corruption.—Their adjudications would carry with them the highest authority, as well from the exa Red character of the court, us from the power with which it would lie invested, for the execution of its mandates. Should the judgements of the. Tribunal he resisted by any re fractorey nation, the whole world would rise up in arms to enforce them. For every nation that agrees to the establishment of the Tribunal, must do so under the obligation of sustaining its de cisions and carrying its executions into effect. The more the scheme is contemplated, the more eligible and feasible does it appear. The accom plishment of the plan we are persuaded would be attended with results the most salutary. That it will soon be consumated ; and the petition pre sented by Mr. Clny to the U. S. Senate, may be hailed as the first movement towards the grand, result—the harbinger of the day predicted by the Prophet, when “swoids shall be beat into plough shares, and spears into pruning-hooks—and 1 wars shall cease to the end of the Earth.” Reduction in the price op Passarf. to E nr land. —The owners of the steamship Great Western have reduced the price of passage to $120; the steward’s fees arc fixed at $5. Here tofore the price was $ 170, including the steward’s fees. The Scale Tuhninr.— Delaware county, New York, has come out for Harrison and re form. At the town elections on Tuesday, ihe I Harrison men carried ten out of the eighteen, ■ towns by handsome majorities. This county gave 2,023 majority for Van Burcn over Harri son in 1836, From the New England Farmer. Great Wall of China.— Even when un der one Emperor, China trembled at the Tartars of the desert. About two hundred centuries be fore the birth of Christ, Bhc-hwang-te (iho brook burner,) constructed the great 4 wall, of China, to prevent their incursions. The wall, which has always been considered one of the world’s, won ders, is 1500 miles in length, of great height and 1 thickness, furnished with fortresses and towers innumerable, and is carried with singular skill over mountains and rivers, as well as across the plains and valleys. Lord Macartney exclairned on seeing it that it w is certainly the most stupen dous work of human hands, and he rationally concluded that at the remote period of its build ing China must have been a very powerful and civilized empire. Dr. Johnson was accustomed ' to say, of it, that it would be an honor to any I man lo say that bis grandfather had seen, the t groat wall of China. Mr. Uarrow, who hhw, it j • with Macartney, went into some amusing calcn- 1 bilions us to the quantity of the materials it con- i tains. According to his account, all the materials ! t ot the dwelling houses of England and Scoll land, sniqrosing them a that peiiod (at the end of ■ the last century) to amount to 1,800,000, and to i average 2,000 cubic feet of brick work or mason ry, would he barely equivalent to the hulk of the walk, without taking in its fortresses or towers, which ho calculated contained as much masonry and brick w'ork as London did at that time. Stu pendous us was the work. it failed in its object. Pi n kui ks of tii k Nauru wot.—A gcntle ; man writing train St. Louis* thus speaks of the pineries on the St. Croix and Chippewa rivers: i “The country above us on the Upper Missis sippi is chiefly inhabited by the fSioux and Chip prwas—t ihes both powerful and numerous— and in good weather one can have no more dc ligbtlui jaunt than a sail or row trp live river, and through the country occupied by the two last mentioned tribes. Tire resources of this upper country, (hough yet an Indian domain, are being rapidly developed. It is here upon the Cbippc i ' va nll< l St- Croix rivers, and the country watered i *»y them, that the immense pine forests which in extent and valuable quality of timber, ran be i surpassed by none in the known world. Alrea -1 dy there are many mills in operation and doing a ;• good business, and supplying the western and northwestern towns with immense rafts of the fnt -1 eat limbers. When we conceive how great is the . demand for lumber of this nature in the rapidly increasing west, and sec that all must he supplied , from these, llie only pineries on. the western wa s b*rs; none can doubt the ultimate increase and richness of the country, were these its only re sources; but besides this there are undoubted evidences ol minerals daily developing themselves, with a rich soil, and susceptible of high improve ment.” 1 A Speech woßTiiu HEAUiixe. —The Quincy (Illinois) Whig of the Ist February, contains the following icport of a recent speech in the Senate ot that State,.on. the bill for repealing in ternal improvements r “ Mr. Speaker, 1 rise Sir,not to make a speech —speech making is not my trade ; but to tell the friends ot repeal, that 1 am foment them, al i though I hate railroads as bad as any man on this , ycarlh, prehaps, ami I have a good reason to hate ■ them, yet I shall vote agin repealing them, he | kasc all my constituents on this side of the river hodashiously are for them, and a good ninny on Iho other side too——it are a fact, Mr. Speaker, I know very little about railtouds, but I guess I know os much os somu other folks do.

These are my notions, Mr. Speaker, and I could not sit here without belching it out; [ifere the orator tinned his head and in mi audible voice addressed a senator to his right—‘Uncle Peter, what’s the name ot your wolf hill ? hut receiving no answer, he then, straightening himself up, again address ed the Speaker.] As I am now up, Mr. Speaker, I will give you my notions oa Uncle Peter’s wolf bill-[Here the Speaker interrupted'him again, by reminding him that the wolf questions was not before dje Senate, and therefore Is merits could not he ins cussed.] —You’re mistaken in. your munXMr. , Speaker; I’m not a cussing character, ujt il if I was, I should he very far from cussing Uncle Peter’s wolf bill.

Tiik Match Made.—The New Orleans Pica yune says that the match race spoken of in that paper o( the 315th ult. has been concluded, Maria I Black, Altorf, Billy Townes and Ralph come to gether on the 17th inst., at the Eclipse Course— s 1,000 aside, half forfeit, the proprietor to give i 1,000 to the winner.

A Female Sailor. Extract of a letter from an officer of the Rob ert Small, dated in that ship off the Capo of Good Hope, the 20th October: “A very singular case has iicen discovered on board our ship; we have detected a young lady in the person of a sailor, who came out with us from the Thames in August last. Her name is Mary Anne Arnold. Sho is the daughter of the late Lieut. Arnold, 11. N., who served in that ca pacity on hoard the Ganges and Prince Regent' men of war. lleing a man of dissolute habits lie lost his commission in consequence, after which he resided with his wi.a at Sheerness, where, by continuing his habits of dissipation, ho and his family were reduced to great distress. Mr. Arnold was admitted a pensioner in Green wich Hospital, in which asy.um he died. After her husband’s death, Mrs. Arnold lived at Sheer ness, supporting herself and her children until 18115, when after great exertion in the harvest ', field, she died, leaving her children totally unpro vided for. The subject of the present ■statement was ten years of age when her mother died.— Partly hy laboring in the fields, and partly by go ing on errands for person*, she supported herself, and contributed to the sustenance of her little sister, who was only eighteen months old, when her mother died. Mary Anne next obtained per manent employment in a rope factory at Sheer ncsH, where she earned two and six ponce a week. Going frequently among the shipping she (ound that boys of her age who went lo sea earned more money, were heller fed, and in every way in a superior condition to iters. Upon this Mary Anno determined to renounce petticoats and lo become a sailor, borrowing an old jacket, trow sers, and shirltroma boy ot her acquaintance, to whom she said she was going to have a lark in them, she look leave of the rope fields and the owner ol the old clothes, without I lie ceremony ot a tarewell, and uaueoudod in sluing employ merit as a cabin boy in the Williams, a Sunder land collier, then lying at bilteerness. Mary Anne was kindly treated, and she continued to do the miscellaneous hard work of a collier’s cabin hoy, below and aloft, for two years, to the satisfaction of no less than six captains, who commanded the Williams during that period. A seventh capluin came, and the man and hoy did not like each other, so Mary Anne for ever abandoned the coal-marine, and on the 22d of October, 18118, entered cabin-boy at Shields, on < hoard the brig Annie, bound (or London and Quebec. She made several voyages in (his ves sel. Unfortunately the Annie was wrecked off blakeney in the last equinoctial gales; hut the captain and crew had the luck to escape after en. during great hardships. Returned to Shields, Miss Arnold entered again us a cabin hoy in the Choice, hound for London, with stores for the Robert Small, East Indiamanv in which ship she next succeeded in getting nn engagement. She has well done her work as a strong and active hoy in this ship. I b ive seen Miss Arnold a mongst the first aloftlo reef the ntizen top-gallant sail, during a heavy gale in the bay of Biscay*- When wc crossed the Equator she underwent the ceremony of tarring and shaving in its rough est form. On the 20lh of September last, some ol the crew expressed suspicions to Capt. Scott that the hoy Arnold was a girl. The Captain upon this ordered the surgeon to examine the ■ youngster. The surgeon did so. and declared that he was a girl. Miss Arnold then ga’ethe foregoing account of herself. The Captain, pas sengers and crew, all praised and pitied her.— She was at once prevailed upon to abdicate the jacket and trowsers, and is now a pretty girl, J 5 years o( age. Ihe lady passengers have given her lots of presents. Her hair is already getting long, and I suppose sho will soon think of ring lets. Captain Scott behaves in the kindest man ner to her, and has promised that she shall re ceive her pay just the same as it she were to con tinue to do a young mariner’s duty during, the whole passage out and home. Miss Arnold though rather bashful, considering the short time she has had to learn ladies’ ways, like other he roes and heroines, capable of being drawn out. 1 frequently see her surrounded hy listeners while she pitches it long yarn about the dangers of the sea. Our heroine has two broth ers older than herself. One is boatswain of the Royal Adelaide, the other is carpenter on board i the Britanna, stationed at Portsmouth. The lat ter, <he says, knows that she had turned sailor, and he approved of the metamorphosis when he saw her in the occupation of cabin hoy on board the Williams.
