It was now a con test of life or death. Both were bleeding freely, and it would chicliy depend upon strength as to which should bo thrown under the othcr, and thereby probably lose his hold. These things take long to describe, hut they occurred very rapidly. There was a deep si lence in the arena and in the gallery, as the two wild beasts thus stood confronting each othcr on their hind legs—deep silence and earnest ga zing on all sides and from ail quarters; even the very breathing was suspended in many as they watched the contest Not for long how ever, as 1 have said. Kagra, more skillful or more impetuous than his antagonist, overthrew him at length, anti the two rolled over on the arenn; the Tcrai-wallah on his back beneath, Kagra above. ‘•Shavaslr, Kagra f uttered tho king again, well pleasctl. "Kagra has the advantage,” mut tered more than one vorcti in English. But tlie advantage was only momentary. The bind claws of Kagra were being plunged into tlie belly of his foe, when tho Tcrai-wallah, who never let go his hold for a moment with his mouth, struck one of Itis fore paws over the face of his antagonist His claws evidently pierced Kagra’s eyes; one of them was tom from its socket; and uttering a howl of pain or despair, the mutilated beast relinquished his grip, and would have tom himself from his an tagonist This, however, he was not permitted to do. Tlie Tcrai-wallah clung pertinaciously to his throat Ilis teeth were deeply infixed, lie was dragged for a few paces over the arena by Kagra, who tried to release himself in vain; and then all at once leaping from his prostrate position, the Tcrai-wallah hurled himself on the top ol his assailant. The contest was virtually at an end. Kagra, now fallen beneath his foe, and fast losing blood, tvas incapable of regaining the advantage he had lost The Tcrai-wallah, thrusting one paw un der his lower jaw, forced back the head further until he infixed his teeth still more deeply into tho throat. Kagra did battle ineffectually with his paws, tearing the skin of his antagonist here and there; but ho had lost the hold he had ob tained with his mouth, and was evidently fast sinking under the victor’s grasp and bite. “Kagra is beaten," was uttered in Hindustani and English in the gallery above. “He is,” said the king, as he gave orders to the servants below to open Kagra's cage, and drive oil .tire Tcrai-wallah. Red-hot rods were thrust through the bars of the enclosure, and tire successful tiger was cru elly burnt before he would relinquish his hold. It was the most barbarous part of tho exhibi tion ; and yet it was tlie only way to save the life of Kagra. At length the Terai-wallah was driven off, his jaws dropping blood as he went. Kagra’s cage was opened, and ho made for it immediate! v, with ail the marks of the conquer ed about him ; he left his track on the arena in blood-stains, while his tail hung flaccidly be tween his legs; yet, though he was flying, he fled stealthily, as it were, not vigorously and upright as a horse would have tied, hut with stealthy, creeping, cat-like agility. The red- hot rotis were held before the Terai-wallali to prevent him from pursuing. He still faced to ward, and glared after his beaten foe; and ere Kagra had reached his cage, he sprang high a- bovc tlie rmls to attack the flying tiger once more. He fell short of his victim, however.— Kagra quickened his steps, reached the cage, and hurried himself in its furthest comer, cow ering like a whipped cur. . As for the Tenu-wallah, he watched his de feated antagonist steadily to the last, ncver oncc taking his eves off him; and then, slinking him self two or three times, he licked his paws, rose majestically from his crouching posture, and walked deliberately toward his own cage, which was open to receive him; his tom shoulders, and the large drojis ofblood which fell from him as he walked, proclaiming how dearly he had won hia victory.

The will of Governor Blatcbett, of Plymouth’ Massachusetts, proved in 1783, contains the following singular clause: “I desire my body to be kept so long as it may not be offensive, and that one of my toes or fingers may be cut off, to secure a certainty of being dead. I further request my dear wife, that as she has been troubled with one old fool, she will not think of marrying a second.” Juries, like guns, are often ‘charged’ and sometimes with very bad ammunition. Never open tho door to a little vice, lest a great one should enter also. Evil men speak as they wish rather than what they know. “Love in a cottage" is all very well, when you own the cottage and have money ont at interest. A Onle in Use Irtsfi Channel. It was on a sunny day in the winter of 18—, that we dropped down the Mersey, and took our leave of Liverpool. Our vessel was a new ship of seven hundred tons; and, as she spread one after another of her folds of white canvass to the breeze, 1 thought I had never seen a more beau tiful sight The scene around was lovely and inspiring. Innumerable craft, of all sizes, cov ered the waters far and near; here a large mer- clinntman, moving along like a stately swan; there a light yacht, flying over tlie water witli the speed of a swallow; the sunlight danced and sparkled on tho billows; the receding coast S ew more picturesque as we left it astern, and e blue expanse of the Irish Channel stretched away in front until lost in the dim haze of the opposite horizon. - I liad been reading below for several hours, hut towards nightfall went on deck again. How I started at the cliangc 1 It was yet an hour to sunset, hut the god of day was already hidden in a thick bank of clouds that lay stretched om inously along the western seaboard. The wind had increased to a smart gale, and was laden with moisture. The billows increased in size every minute, and were whitening foam far and near. Occasionally, as a roller struck the ship's hows, a shower of spray would dash over the forecastle, and sometimes shoot even into the top; on these occasioas, a melancholy, forebo ding sound, like the groan of somo huge animal in pain, issued from the thousand timbers of the vessel. Already, in anticipation of the coming tempest, sail had been taken in, and we were now heading towards the Irish coast, under closely reefed topsails, courses, a spanker and jib. “ A rough night in prospect, Jack!” I said, addressing an old Ur beside me. “You may well say that, sir,” he replied.— * It’s bad on the Norway coast in December, and bad going into Sandy llook in a snow storm, but both arc nothing to' a gale in the channel here,” he added, as a sudden whirl of the tem pest covered us with spray. “I wish wc had more sea room,” said I mu singly. “Ah! I’d give the wages of the voyage if we had! How happy you all seemed in the cabin, sir, the ladies especially, an hour or two ago; I suppose ii was because we were going home. Aji! little did wc any of us think,” he added, with a seriousness and in language uncommon for a sailor, “ tiiat we might be bound to an other and a last home, which wc should behold first!" At this moment the Captain shouted to shor ten sail, and our conversation was of necessity cut short The ship, I ought to have said, hail been laid close to the wind, in order to claw off the English coast, to which wc were in danger ous proximity. As the gale increased, the heavy press of canvass forced her down into the water, and she struggled and groaned frightful ly. While the crew were at work, I walked forward. The billows, now increased to gigan tic size, came rolling down upon us, one after another, with such rapidity that our good craft could scarcely recover from one before another was upon her. Each time she struck a head-sca, she would stagger an instant, quivering in every timber, while the crest of the shattered wave would shoot to the foretop like the jet of a fountain; then, the vast surge sinking away beneath her, she would sink groaning into the trough of the sea, until another billow lifted her, another surge thundered against her bows, and another shower of spray flew over her. Now and then when a larger wave than usual was seen ap proaching, the cry “ Hold on all!” rang war- ningly across tlie decks. At such times tlie vast billow would approach, its head towering in tho gathering twilight, until it threatened to engulf us; but, just when all seemed over, our gallant ship would spring forward to meet it, I ike a horse started by the spur, and the moun tain of water would break over and around us hissing, roaring, and flashing by, and then sink ing into the apparently bottomless gulf beneath us. Meanwhile the decks were resounding witli the tread of the sailors, as they hurried to and fro, jn obedience to the captain's orders; while the rattling of blocks, the shouts of command, and the quick replies of the seamen rose above the bowlings of the storm. “ last go the bowlines, cried the stentorian voice of the captain, “ case off the tack—haul on the weather-braces.” Away went tlie huge sail, in obedience to the order. “Ease off the sheet—haul up to leeward J” The crew worked with redoubled energy, and soon the immense courses were stowed away. In a few moments the ship’s canvass was redu ced to reefed topsails, spanker, and foretopmast staysail. By this time evening had set in, though the long twilight of that latitude pro longed a sickly radiance. But even this contraction of sail was not suf ficient The thick duck tugged at the yards as if it would snap them in two. Every moment I expected to sec the spanker go. “We must take in that sail,” said the captain, “or she will tear herself to pieces.” “All hands in with the spanker!” In an instant tlie men were struggling with the huge sheet and never before had! been so forcibly impressed with the power and use of discipline. In an incredibility short time, the gigantic sail, notwithstanding its struggling, was got under control and safely stowed. The ship now labored less for a while, but, the storm increased, she groaned and strug gled as before. The captain did not appear satisfied with ta king in the spanker; indeed, all feared that the ship could not carry what sail was left. Ac cordingly. he ordered the topsails to be close reefed; yet even after this the vessel tore through the waters like a race-horse. _ The wind had now increased to a perfect hurricane. shrieked, roared, and howled around, as if tenthonsand fiends were abroad on the blast In moments of extreme peril, strong natures gather together, as if by some secret instinct. It was from this reason that the captain sud denly found himself near the old top man, with whom I had been conversing in the early part of the evening, and who, it appeared, was one of the oldest and best seamen on board. The captain stood by the man’s side a full minute without speaking, looking at the wild waves that, like hungry wolves, came trooping down towards us. How far arc we from tho coast ?” he said at last. * * Perhaps five miles, sir,” quietly replied the man. “And we have a long run to make before we get sea-room,” said the captain. “ We shall be in eternity before morning, answered the man solemnly. The captain paused a moment, when he re plied : “ Onr only hope is in the topsail clews ; if they give way, wc are indeed lost. God help “Amen!’’ I answered in voluntarily. Silence now ensued, though none of us changed our positions. For myself, I was oc cupied thinking of the female passengers, soon perhaps, to be the prey of the wild waters. At last, after half an hour of suspense. I heard the surf breaking with a noise likethunder, on the iron bound coast to the eastward. Again and again I listened, and each time the awful sound became more distinct I did not men tion my fears however, for I still thought I might be mistaken. Suddenly the captain looked up. “Hark!’’ he said. He stood with his finger raised, in the attitude of one listen ing intently, his eyes fixed on the face of the ola sailor. “It is the sound of breakers,” said the sea- i. Breakers on the lee-quarter!" cried the look-out at this instant bis hoarse voice sound ing ominously across the night. Breakers on the lee-beam!" answered an other. Breakers on the lee-bow!” echoed a third. All eyes peered immediately into tho dark ness. A long line of foam was plainly visible, skirting quite round the horizon to leeward. God have mercy on our souls!” I involunta rily ejaculated. The captain sprang to the wheel, his eye flashing, his whole frame dilated ; for he had taken a sudden and desperate resolution. He saw that if no effort was made, we should be among the breakers in twenty minnte; but if the mainsail could be set and made to hold for half an hour, we might escape. There were nine chances to one that the sail would split the instant it was spread, and in a less terri ble emergency he would have shrunk from the experiment, but it was now our only hope. “Keep her to it !*’ he shouted; “keep her well up. All hands to set the main course.” Fortunately we were strong handed, so that it would not be necessary to carry the tack to the windlass, notwithstanding the gale. A portion of the crew sprung to man this impor tant rope; the remainder hurried up the ring ing disappearing in the gloom overhead. In less than a minute the huge sail fell from the yard, like a gigantic puff of white smoke blown from tin: top. It struggled and whipped ter ribly, but the good ropes held fast. “Brace up the yard—haul out the bow-line! shouted the captain. “Ay, ay, air!” and it was done. “Haul aft!” The men ran off with the line, and the im mense sheet came to its place. This was the critical moment. The snip feeling the addi tional propulsion, made a headlong plunge. I held my breath. I expected nothing less than to see the heavy duck blown from the yard like a gossamer, but the strong fabric held fast, Uicugh straining awfully. “She comes up. don't she ?” interrogated the captain of tha man at the helm. ‘Ay, ay, sir—she does.” ‘IIow much ?” “Twopoints, sir!” 'If she holds for half an hour," ejaculated the captain, “wc may yet be safe.” On rushed the noble ship, seeming to know how much depended on her. She met the bil lows, she rose above them, she struggled per- scveringly forward. In five minutes tlie breakers were visibly receding. But hope had been given only to delude us. Suddenly I heard a crack, sharper than an explosion of thunder, and simultaneously the course par ted from it* fastening, and sailed away to lee ward like a whine cloud driven down the gale. A cry of horror rose from all. ‘It is all over, I cried; and I looked around for a plank in tending to lash myself to it, in anticipation of the moment for striking. When the course went overboard, the bead of the ship went off immediately; and now the wild breakers tum bled and roared closer at hand each moment. Suddenly the .captain seized my arm, for wc were holding on almost side by side. “Ha!” he cried, “is not that dark water yonder! and he pointed across our lee bow. I looked the direction to which he referred. Unless my eyes deceived me, the long line of breakers came to an abrupt termination thcre as if the shore curved inwards at that point.— “You are right; there is a deep bay ahead.” I cried joyfully. “Look—you can see the surf whitening around the cape.” The whole crew simultaneously detected this new chance of escape. Though unable to head to the wind as before, there was still a pros pect that wc could clear the promontory. Ac cordingly, the nezt few minutes were passed in breathless suspense. Not a word was spo ken on board. Every eye was fized on that rocky headland, around which the waters boiled as in the vortex of a maelstorm. The ship seemed conscious of the general feeling, and struggled, I thought more desperately than ev er. She breasted the huge billows with gal lant perseverance, and though each one set her closer to the shore, she met the next wave with the same stubborn resolution. Ncarer, nearer, nearer we drifted toward the fatal cape. I could now almost fling a biscuit into the break ers. I had noticed a gigantic roller coming for some time, but had hoped we might clear the cape before it reached us. I now saw the hope was in vain. Towering and towering the huge wave approached, its dark side almost a per pendicular wall of waters. “Hold on, all!” thundered the captain. Down it came. For an instant its vast sum mit hovered overhead, and then, with a roar like ten thousands cataracts poured over us. The ship was swept before it like a feather in a gale. With the waters flashing and hissing over the decks, and whirling in wild eddies un der our feet, we drove in the direction of the cape. I held my breath in awe. A strong man might almost have leaped on the extreme point of the promontory. I closed my eyes shuddering. The next instant a hurrah met my car. Wc had shot by the cape, and miles of dark water were before. An old tar beside me had given vent to the cheer; and then ad dressing me, he said: “That was close scrap ing, air. Another such would have cracked the hull like an eggshell. But this craft wasn't made to go to Davy Jones’ locker!” And with all the coolness imaginable, lie took out a luge piece of pigtail, leisurely twis ted off a l it, and began chewing with as much composure ns if nothing unusual had happen ed. A year ij.-o, when in New York, I met tho captain anin, unexpectedly, at the As tor House. We dined together, when I took oc casion to ask him if he remembered our win ter’s expei'i-ncein the Irish Channel ten years before. “Ay,” hi: laid; “and do you know that, when I went ou ; to Liverpool on my next trip, I heard thai search had been made all along the coast for Judgments of our ship. The escape was considered miraculous.” “Sir,” J replied, “I’ve had enough of the Irish Cbanxel.!’ Arrival of the City of Baltimore. Sales of Cotton for Three Days 28,000 Bales.

Cotton Market—The Circulars re ceived by ftus arrival announce the sales of cot ton for tne three business days to be 28,000 bales, of which speculators took 5,000 and ex porters 4.0i)0 hales. The market opened firm but closed quiet, dull, but at steady prices. Middling Orleans was quoted at 7 3-8d. and Middling Uplands at 7 1-16 to 7 l-8d. London Money Market—Consols were quo ted at 951 a 051, being the same quotations as were reported by the news by the Canada. General News. The stoamship Jura arrived at Liverpool on the 27th, and tlie Europa on the 28th of March. The peace Congress, it is expected will meet at Baden between tho 15tli and 20th of April. Piedmont ’vill probably be admitted to the Con gress without vote. France, Austria and Sardinia continue their armament*. The debate on tlie reform bill was still pro gressing, and it is understood tiiat tlie ministry have staked their continuance in office on tho result. Tie vote would probably be taken on the 31st of Marcli. There appeared to bo less confidence felt in the favorable termination of the Peace Congress, in the commercial and financial circles of Par is, Vienna and Turvin, as warlike preparations continued in those places. Count Cavow continued at Paris, at the ac counts, and had frequent interviews with the Emperor. SECOND DISPATCH. Stati or Tkade.—Manchester advices were reported unfavorable and the trade quiet; yarns were stiaily but goods in some cases had slight ly decline,!

Corn was also reported dull and Tcllow had declined Id. Provisions were dull. Sugar steady. Coffee firm. Rice steady. Spirits of Turpentine steady at 41s a 41s Cd. Rosin was dull at 4s Cd a 4s 7iL Monty, in London, was generally unchanged. The rejo 't by the Canada stated that the money market was slightly more stringent with an ac tive demand, and this condition of affairs con tinued lip to the sailing of the City of Baltimore. L&zinns travels so slow that poverty soon orertakos her. Luck Versus Labor. “Well. Uncle Ralph, 1 believe it’s luck, ter all, that makes tLe difference in men’s po sitions. I beard old Bill Rogers talking about it the other day, and he said that he liad al ways labored as hard as you, hut luck had been against him.” It was in a pleasant parlor of a handsome residence on the banks of the Hudson, where the words were spoken, aud the occupants were two; ayoung man of not more than twen ty summers, and a grey haired man whom lie addressed as uncle. There was a sort of quiet smile upon the old gentleman’s face os he re moved his spectacles, laid aside his paper, and drew his chair in front of the grate, near which his namesake liad, for a time, been sitting in r reverie which had ended in the above excla mation. “Well, my boy, I think, by your tone, that you expect me to oppose your conclusion ; I will not disappoint you. “Most certainly I believe in such a thing good and bad luck, but ray mind was made up ere I had arrived at your years, aud I have never altered it after long years of experience, that the future of a man’s life depends upon himself. If he aims to be good and useful, and labors for that end, he will surely have happy thoughts for company in his old age. If he seeks for property and bends his energies in that direction, nine times out of ten he will become wealthy : while, on the contrary, if he lays no plans for the future, but waits for luck, he will die waiting. You quote Mr. Rogers as authority. I think I can show you that not only his poverty but his usual sobriquet of “old Bill” are both of his own greeting; and if I find it necessary to introduce my own name in giving history, I hope you will not consid er me egotistical. William Rogers and I were brought up together; were playmates in child hood, schoolmates in youth, aud commenced our married lives within a very few months of each other. To an outsider our prospects for life were about equal, but my father gave me, with the little property which he put into my bands, some advice, which I think William’s had never given him, and whicii has been worth to me not only thousands of dollars, bu more for "agood name is better than riches!” “Ralph!” said he, as I was about leaving home, my old borne for a new one, “Ralph you are my only boy, and have always been dutiful one; and now that you are to take new position among mankind, I will give you a few items of an old man’s experience. “First of all, then, say I to you, be some body ; make your mark; don’t be content to be an animal, living to eat and sleep, and rising to cat again, but let your words be words of wisdom and intelligence. “Secondly, never say, nor think, that the world owes you a living. Earn your living— let the blessings of life come thick as they may, that you may never have the sad regret of misspent time. I do not mean bodily labor alone, for many a greedy worker is starving; his soul; but labor with head, and heart, and hand; for while there remains a pauper, a crim inal, or a sot, there will be work for all these. “Lastly, don’t be forever “going to do,” but do,” and keep doing ; work for humanity, with untiring dilligence; and although you may not always get full credit for your labors, in your own breast you will find the reward. 1 loved and respected my father, and for forty years have endeavored to follow his advice, while Rogers has looked from his obscure hovel, aud wondered aud growled at my luck. It would take a long, long time to give a history of those forty years, but what I am now I ascribe to my following that advice. “I saw that to be somebody, one must labor mentally and physically; so I caught the mo ments as they passed and put them to service; and by careful thought and planning I found there never was a day so stormy, or an even ing so long, tiiat I could not fiud employment more pleasant, and far more profitable by my own fireside, than sitting at tlie store or bar room with William Rogers and kindred spirits relating wlint a large day’s work I did once, or wbat I intended to do at some future time.' “I tell you, nephew, it isn’t the talkers that do all the work that’s done, by a long ways, aud I bare thought sometimes that a bragging man was like a trotting horse, doing agreat dea 1 in a little time and yet rest so long afterwards that it made but a little in a long time. Well, William Rogers envies me my position and as cribes it to luck, and yet if he would listen to me for one hour I could tell him why there is all the difference between us. He will not work stormy days because he says it is bad enough to work pleasant ones. He will not work even ings, for he says the days arc long enough without elavingrsights; and every holiday of any name, and many a pleasure day besides, finds him spending bis time and money, be cause he says, one might as well hang them selves at once as to have to be forever drud ging. And so because he has taken an entire ly wrong view of life, and thinks that a life of case should be one of happiness, he is destined to be forever simply old Bill Rogers, while your uncle, unworthy as he may have been, has fill ed stations of trust in public life, and bears still the name of “Judge.” The Dernier Kcsort. They tell the following story of Alex. Dumas, Jr., in Paris, a year or two ago : Soulouquc sent an Envoy to France, charged witli a private mission, and armed France with full powers. Shortly after the sable minister’s arrival, he caused himself to be presented to Alexander Dumas, Sr., whose papa, as every body knows or ought to know, was a magnifi cent general, of a molascss color. Dumas senior was a shade lighter than was his parent, being of a saddle tint, and Dumas junior, son of Du- inas senior, pretends to be almost white, So he is—in the dark. The Hayticn Envoy, after diplomatically beat ing about the bush for a considerable time, fi nally came to business, and wound up by in forming tlie astonished novelist tiiat his'(tho Envoy’s) mission to France was for the purpose of demanding the hand in marriage of Dumas, junior, for her Imperial Highness, Princess Ol ive, daughter of the Emperor of all the Hay- tics. The hand of Alexander!” cried father Du mas, thunderstruck. “ Goodness gracious 1 gracious! Goodness l The colored pusson must be insane. I say you must be He paused. The tact is, tlie author of Monte Cristo bears the enviable reputation of never having deliberately said a disagreeable word to anybody. So he simply added, by way of say ing something: “It’s impossible, sir Utterly imnossible I” Why!’” demanded the envoy. Why ? Because—hum!—because my son’s origin is to obscure for him to dream of such an honor!" And papa Dumas thought this a triumphant piece of cunning. “Nothing of the sort, sir. And, after all, con tinued the envoy, with engaging modesty, “what arc wc? Only parvenves. L myself, once reddled oysters! You wouldn’t imagine it, I uiow; but it’s a fact Besides, sir, if we were to demand a Prince wc could be refused; or at all events, be fobbed off with an old and ugly one. A literary Prince—that’s the ticket!— He may write as many books and plays down there as he choses.” Papa Dumas, terribly embarrassed, scratched his ear and at last said: ‘Listen to me. I know Alexander tolerably well He is continually growing about my ig norance of business; and as for taking a wife upon my recommendation, he would laugh at the bare idea. Suppose we ask Thompson to break the subject to him f* The envoy was satisfied witli this plan and Thompson was forthwith desired to repeat the proposition to Dumas, Jr. Dumas junior swore that Thompson must be crazy, and ordered the to go for a doctor. “ Nonsense!” interposed Thompson, “ I am perfectly sane; it is you who are crazy to refuse such a splendid opportunity. Think of a fortune of several millions 1* “Bah 17 retorted Dumas, Jr. “Too risky ! If the old darkey shoul happed to be dethroned, I would be obliged to support the whole fami ly.” “Not at all,” replied the sagacious 1 hompson. “You risk nothing whatever. In case of the lit tle accident you mention, you could take the whole concern over to the United States and sell them.” F A RIM J N® IMPLEMENTS.
