I hey have a swill sailing schooner, built in Balti more expressly for them, besides row boats, the whole maintained at an annual expense of more than four thousand dollars, and de voted exclusively to their use, by which ships ure frequently boarded at the distance or lilty and sometimes one hundred miles from the city. All the arrangements ofthe establish ment are upon the most liberal scale of ex pense, and possess an efficiency which consti tutes the Journal of Commerce, issued as it is, twice a day, decidedly the best channel of news, both Political and Commercial, which can be found in this city. Full accounts of news received by foreign arrivals at this por- arc frequently sent off twontty-four hours be fore tho merchants’ letters by the same ves sels are placed in the Post Office. In the present critical state oftho markets, which there is every reason to believe will continue at least for some months, merchants throughout the country will find this tho cheapeftrafid most complete correspondence which can possibly be established.

And other cams will claim thy tlio’ts, and other hearts thy love, And gayer frauds may bo around, and bluer skies ntmve; Yet thou, when I behold thee next, inoy’st wear upon thy brow, Perchance, u mother’s look of euro, for that whifclt decks it now. And when I think bow often I have seen thee with thy wild And lovely look, and step ofnrt, nnd boaring hVc a child, O haw mmmriltlly, how mournfully thu thought come* oe’r my brain, When I thijik thou ne’er may’st bo that froo and girlish tiling again.

Uncommon Turtle.—Four or five montliH ago, a Tortoise of most uncommon appear ance, wus met with at Abaco. Our infor mant who cauglit the animal, is one in whom we havo every confidence of telling nothing but truth on the occasion ; but not being a man of education, can otdy dcscribo in liis aitnplo way, the appearanco of an animal, the liko of which ho never witnessed. It was first observed, as lurge turtle usually are, in shallow water, and immediately pursued in a small boat—when sufficiently near, it „ , .. was struck with a harnoon, which, from tho soil ness of tho animal, drew out, ami it got away to 8omo distanco, but being pursued, was a- All tho rest had perished. Every effort to recover the boat woe now made, but in vain. In tho me&timo tho wa ter-was increasing rapidly in the hold, which running forward settled hor bowsprit and bows under water. She then settled to star, board,, and came on her beam ends. At this awlhl moment, Cupt. Welch', Ihis ,wifo and cl)ildran,. WdW» siutoiV apptdhticoy and 1 two seamen wore on tho quarter ddek. Hd held his wife by the hand till the sciiqoner’s tafrail was perpendicular, and ihen stepped upon, the counter timbero, and was in tho act of pulling oft* his jacket when the main boom slid' down from tho larboard side and struck<him on tho shoulder. Immediately after, the ves sel went down, carrying with hor eight hu man boinga in the bloom and vigor of life f embracing the entire family of Captain Welch, together with his wife’s sister and his appren tice. After being some timo under water, partially entangled in tho mainsail, Capt. Wolch roso to the surface, and with great, difficulty on account of his exhaustion and wounds,succeeded in gnining a niece of plank, by means of which he struggled his way back to the boat. The two seamen were rescued likewise. Capt. W. on rising from the water, saw ono of his children floating within ten feet of him, hut with all the agony of parental feeling, could, render it no assistance. There were now five persons m tho boat, out of thirteen who snileu from New Yoak.— Oils und Faints.

From our correspondent.—New York, Awg-,29.—You will havo seen in the papers of this city, that General, Root has been no minated lor the office of governor, and Na thaniel Pitcher, for Lieutenant Governor by the Workies, so-called. After this who will protend to explain'tho state of parties in New York—not 1,1 am sure Mr. Pitcher is a Tammany man, and recently presided.at a county meeting lo eiect delegates to its con vention at Herkimer, and General Root signed the address of the same party, at the close of the Legislature. I do. opt doubt tpat the Tammany party will carry thp day, even if these individuals accept, wliiyh is doubttul.

From, every part ofthe coast, and by every arrival wo learn additional,.particulars of its devastation. We*- have meyo recently experienced one in these part8,but by no means so severe. The dam age is comparatively trilling. I am gratified to perceive that the Chicka- saws have expressed an intention to meet the President for the purpose of an exchange of lands. The emigration party ofthe Choctaws it appeurs by tho last accounts, have obtained tlie ascendancy, and I cannot but hope, not withstanding the interested and persovering efforts of the political philanthropists will com ply with the desires of the general govern ment and’ second its humane policy by remov al. When the present excitement attempted to be kopt up relative to the Cliurokees, shall, have subsided as surely it will, and they shall coolly reflect upon the question presented to them, they, will follow tne example. Their friends have spoken much, of our responsibili ty, but if they have any feeling, they may hereafter be sensible of tho responsibility they themselvcB have assumed in urging these people for political purposes, to the course they are now pursuing, The loud exultation oftho anti-ndministra- tien men, on the result oftho Kentucky and other western elections, is likely to bo con siderably cooled down as further statements arrive.

It had a back bone, from which tho ribs extended on each side and join ed tho plate of the breast or calipee, which was soft, and of lighter colour than the other parts of thu body. The two foro litis were three feet long, fourteen inches wide, and n- bout four inches, thick in tho largest part.— Tho hinder Ann ubqet eighteen inches long, und otherwise like the. Lore fins—tho tail wus only eight or nine inches in length.— After being on board five days, it died, and on boing opened about q half bushel of eggs were found, similar to turtlo eggs, but largur; und the whole of the fat was like that of a cow.— There wore no means of weighing the car ens, but it was supposed, to bo from 800 to 1900 pounds ^ nnd fifteen gallons of oil vvyro obtained from it. This turtle answers tho description given in the last edition of thu Encyclopedia Britun- niu, under tho article “Erpepolody, section II. No. 33.

Marine Novelties.—Huston,August 28. •Two odd fishes were cutist just out of Lynn harbor, last week, in a seine drawn for bass. They were exhibited in this city, and excited much surprise nnd curiosity. Ono of them, was u shark with a body not much larger than d porpoise, suy about six feet long, but a tail seven feel long, and shaped much like a sword. Tins formidable weapon is much larger and heavier than tho ancient two handed swords. It is bone covered with skin and strong muscle. The fisher who took him tolls us that'the creature elevated this mein- her,.sometimes perpendicularly, and at others made with its tremeiidi.ous horizoniul sweeps, aud by thus killing or stunning, secured its prey. The mouth is small qiij tljo colour u lively blueish hue. The other fish is small, and a total stran ger to all who have hitherto examined it. Its head resembles a sturgeon's. It is covered with n sort of bronze shell, richly chased. It appears not unlike that composition, resem bling gold, of which watch trimmings were at ono time manufactured. The breast re semble^ the under shell of a turtlo with a skin, drawn over it. The fins near tho gills aro very long: and underneath them are three • legs or feelers, which cun be folded up or ex tended at pleasure. The body is of a brown ish color, ro.utid and hard ns a cusk or a fly ing fish. Its whole length is about one foot, or u little less. The tuil has been eaten off by other fish m the net, which has caused it, to die, before it could be exhibited or accur- Afitica; frequents the Mediterranean sen, nnd has been occasionally met with oil the coasts of France und England.—Nassau Gaz.

Felipe do Austin, from the 2foh of May to the 10th ofjulv. Much anxiety having* been occusipned to the trie ds of Col. Austin, founder of the Texas Colony, by a report of his death, re- ceived some days since via St. Louis, we ure happy*to state that jio mention of.such un o- vent is mentioned in these papers, which em brace a complete file, with tho exception of a single sheet dated lQth June. The crops in Texas are suid to be very fine. The sloop Hudson, from New Orleans, hud been wrecked near the entrance of San Jacin- toji»Galvczton. l k Tho Collector at Galvezfon had seized a quantity of Tobacco upon suspicion tliut it Had been smuggled ; v\ Inch suspicion ap pears to have been well founded. War amono thij Indians.—It appears that a kind of exterminating war has broken out between the Cherokees, Shawneos, Dela wares, and other tribes of Northern Indians, lately removed to, Texus, und thu Tabuacanics Wacos and Commanclics. Col Bean writes from Nacoduchcs under date of 29tl> May, to a gentleman iu this place, that tli.o Cherokee, Ehawiusos and Kik.apoos have gone to wur with the Tahuacanics aud Wacos ; that they havo had one battle, in which the latter lost thirty killed, and the former five. It also scorns that the Conmnches have been driven from their former hunting grounds at the heads of tne Brazos and Col- orado, and forced to seek refuge in tho south western part of Texas, and on thu Nuecus& Rio Grande,, by a tribe of Indian heretofore unknown to them. San Felipe dc Austip, June 26.—We un derstand, from, good authority, that tho Go vernment have decided on the establishment of a military post on tho Northern Frontier of this Colony, at some eligible point on the Brazos or Colorado rivers, at or noar the crossing of the San Antonio road. One company of cavulry is to be stationed at said post, under tlic command of Lieutenant Col onel Don FrunciKco Ruiz. This officer is a native of Bexar, and 1ms been raised in Tex as—he is well known to tho inhabitants generally, and stands deservedly high as a man ofhonor and integrity. lie has an ac curate knowledge of all tho Indian tribes of Texas, and has been very fortunate in man aging them.—N, Y. Jour. Com. 667 Total, Tho Now York Post states that the brig Bogota, Stanton, arrived at Stonington in 105 days from Valparaiso, with 21,000 seal skins, 1$,000 hair and 3000 fur skins. The brig Anawun, Captain Palmer, one of the discovery vessels that sailed from New York Inst year was at Valparaiso. She had aban doned the exploring expedition, and wus to sail in a day or two for tho coast of of Perue for seal- She and the schooner Penguine, of Stonington,. Ivui boon to the South. Shet land Islands, and taken six hundred fur skins, and obtained a great number of shells, pe- trefoctions, and othes curiosities of that country. The brig Seraph, another of the exploring 6hips, had also gone to the coast of Peru© after seal. Came passengors in the Bogota* Mf. Epkford ofthe U. S. Navy, and Dr. Eyting, ofthe Anawan. '• The London Morning Herald says no man can embark in a contest for the County of York, without being prepared to apond at least 120,000 pounds'; and consequently were there eignt candidates for the four seats here wonld be an expediturc of nearly a mill ion of money in the election. It adds, this is an extreme case as well it rnay be, but there is not a county in England that could bo contested at a less expense than X20,- 000 olX30,000. We mentioned the loss in the last gale of theschr. Ironsides with a cargo of Stone, bound to the Delaware from New York.— There were 13 jicrsons on hoard, viz. Capt. Welch, Andrew Brown, passenger, James Johnson, mute, Samuel Hodgdon, an appren tice to Captain Welch, and Captain Welch's family, consisting of his wife, five children, wife's sister, 4 young woman about 20 years of age. Capt. Welch had taken his family and furniture on board for the purpose ofre* moving to Lcivistown* at tho cntruucc of Delaware Bay. At daylight (August 23d) tho water had gained upon them very pcrceivably. Captain W. now cqt his cable und endeavored to run in for land under His jib and two-reefed fore sail. The only hope left was, to takp (o the boat,, and this was at beat a forlorn pne, on account of the violence of the gale. About ten o’clock, having done all that he could for the safety of tho vessel, and those on board, Capt. W.told his wife and wife’s sister their danger. lie requested all liis family to bo in readiness to bo put in tho small boat, altho’ he did not see how a boat could stand such a Bea.' Accordingly, ho ordered her launched, and had the painter mi^de fast to a shroud. Mr. Johnston was stationed in the boat for the 'purpose of steering her alongside the schoo- ner. In launchingthe boat, Mr. Brown foil overboard with it: but holding on to the bow, and Mr. Johnston endeavoring to help him, which pitched the boat by tho head, shd tool: a “ rank sheet,” (ind parted her painter.— The Sea Serpent, -seen at Nantasket.«~ Mr* William Stearns, who saw a remarkable marine uniuiulat Nantucket, on tho' 12th of this month, has favored us with a precise, und full account, of the nppeurance ofthe creature, and ofthe circumstances attending it.

At about half past 2 o’clock, in the ufternoon, Charles Hopkins, un apprentice ul’mino in company with me, exclaimed'see that shark;’ which induced me to raise my head, and 1 then saw about a half a mile distant, a creature, which I knew in a moment was no shark, nor any other marine animal thut I hud ever seen.— My first view wus slantwise und it then ap peared to me about 1JQ feet long. It then approached the*point wliere wo were, from tho left and passed directly in front of us, and about 12 rods distant. 1 then had a fair view of ono side, and I am willing to taka my oath, that, what I saw above water was over 100 lcet long; and 1 should think larger round than u barrel, though no part of thu body, was so far out ofthe watothat J could see under it, und 1 could puly estimate the circuujfcrence. The bunches or protubera- ces on the back, resembled the crook ofoqcs elbow, more triangular than semi-circular, und they changed rapidly, that is to say, tho crooks which appeared ht one moment, sunk in an instant, and at the same instant new ones arose like the waves of the sea. Tho creature seemed to lash itself up to go swift and went threw the water like u shot. Tho water was alive with small fiBh chiefly mackeral and pollock, but th$;e were some sculpion. They skipped froln the water ; they were all of a twitter. They wore closer ashore than usual: they were so close that if! hud gone into 18 inches of wutcr, I could littvojjsconpad them on to the beach, with my hands. When the waves receeded, the fish were almost on the beech. The creature appeared first in a cove, on the left. The shoals of fish appeared, a little before and after the creature had passed. Tho sea gulls hovered about more than usual, aud were continually diving for fish We were at the place two days, and I did not, all the rest of the time, see so many as al this time. There appeared to bo many fins on tlio creature, perhaps thirty or forty, but I should not be willing to say within tenor twelve, I am certain that there wore more than twenty. They appeared sometimes on tho tops of tho bunches, and sometimes qu theglppss. They stood lip 12 or 14 inches. The head was nearly all the time under water ; it was of a pointed shape, und Jargor than a half barrel ; it wus of a dark colour. We had a very good chance to view the creature, for having grassed off and disap peared, at the distance oi about half a mile, on our right, near Black Rock, sb called, lie re-appearod in about twenty minutes, on our left, near where ho did at first, and re-passed us ns before. The tide was coming in. I hud a fowling piece, and I cocked it to fire, but Mr. Hopkins requested me to run tb u point* where I should be nearer. We run as hard as we could to a nearer point, aqd at the suggestion of the same young map, I Relayed to fire, because it seemed to be abgut to pass nearer to us. When he camo fully before us, I forgot to make use of my gun, 1 was so a- muzed, and my mind so take)? up in seeing it. It mude a great deal of foaming, in rushing through the water, and as much poise os tlic tide and swell maa^ ^gainst the rocks, whore wo ^topd. I have xeBidcd in Boston ten years, have been to New York by water, I am familiar with all common appearances of and in. the sea: I have often seen schools of por poises, and qllkinds offish, that play within and about the capes. And I am now, e and was from the first mo- merit that I saw this creature, perfectly con fident that it was different from any thing I ever saw before. After it had passed the second time, ! ran m r.r - '•
