The Captain's Story—A Peninsular Ad- venture In the neighb)rbood of the Haymarket, London, there are several minor chess, •whist, and gossip clubs, held principally at _cafes, which, for club evenings, is sacred to the members, consisting chiefly of super annuated clerks, actors, and other profes -aional mediocrities, with a sprinkling of substantial steady tradesmen. In one of .the , s7 gatherings Captain Smith, an ex ,tre3ndv communicative and anecdorcal get - „:ewer., may occasionally be met with. surr , undod by an nrentive c:rcie of admir ing friends. listening, with ail their ears, to one of the many murvelouz adventures it bad ,been his lot to encounter during a wandering and varied life. He is not a ,frequent,visitor; his taste inclining him to scenes of m ore boisterous conviviality than cigars.and ,coffee„with a seasoning of the atrical and political gossip, can afford or supply; and he accordingly COOS these, to s him, hum drum, assemblies, only as resting or halting-places between more exciting or gies; valuable chiefly for affording him list scars, much more easily amused and aston ished than men of larger life-adventure and experience. He is, however. a real captain and I fancy immeshing of _a hero too, in the conventional use of the term. as ho seems to have very different, and, I believe,•moch truer ssotions of war and glory, than gentle men who shout about "bright swords," and dilate with periphrastic unction of "red battle-fields." A lithe active man is he; and stiff as a ramrod withal. His harsh stubby hair is brushed in one particular direction with parade precision; and his high bald forehead, when in convivial mood, glistens as brightly as his sharp gray eyes; which, one can see with half u one, have been wide open all his life. He rose, it is understood, though he never mentions i himself—perhaps from a feeling of modesty, a quality, albeit, in which, like most field heroes, he is somewhat deficient , --from the ranks. From his perfect knowledge of the Spanish tongue, (he passed his youth at Gibrulter, with occasional trips to the Span ish coast with his father, who turned at, honest penny in the smuggling line,) he was frequently employed during the Penin sular war by the British commanders in the very necessary, but extremely ticklish, du ty of making himself personally acq..ainted with the French camps and fortresses—ht other words as a spy; an exceedingly un comfortable office fir any gentleman trots bled with "nerves." Captain Smith fre quantly thanks God that ho never had any. to his knowledge, in his life; no more, he sometimes stays, Lifter reading the debate, —no more than a member of parliament. Thus far premised, suppose we step io for a minute and make his acquaintance.— That is the Captain with tie buck to the fire The gentleman who has jtn.t hande.l him a cigar. mod is addressing silell martini g ueTie.. tp the 7.:,-,%1).t3.4.1‘., 1. a u. r - 1)111r/g /./.191, /)cl , re ;; , :I:cre.l .“1 intv,ireU, at+ xv,int, kr ti.r. :as s•tre the quit.. 11e ;Ai at - .± to 1.). - • r. //ICC 011 A 1111 ['me, as hi; spo,iqe is apt to he orlplo:: , :o:11:, lively for a lAily of hor colloplial and mitei prowess. if he is riot home at half-past ten precisely. Ito Lives pence "at home," as much as he seems to delight in war "iihroad," and is consequently extremely punctual. But see, 'tape is tapping the Captain again. The veteran cannot fail to flow forth presently; at first, perhaps, a lit tlejerkingly—ging, glug, glug—but after a little coaxing in the freest, easiest style ira maginable. "A splenclid march, Captain Smith, that of Wellington upon Ciudad Rodrigo?" "Sloppy, Mr. Tape, sloppy; nothing but mud, and snow, and slush. Winter time; I remember it well," replieJ Captain Smith. "Beautiful account Napier giros of it," rejoined the martial Tape. '•Wellington." he says, 'jumped on the devoted fortress with both his feet!" "Does Napier say that?" demanded the veteran, knocking the consumed ashes Off the end of his cigar on the mantle piece. ".Does Napier say that?" "Yes indeed he does." "Then Napier tells what is—," replied the matter of-fact Captain. "The lightest longestleggod of the 'Light Bobs' could'nt hare done it, much less the duke. The duke's short in the legs—sits high in the saddle though—long body, dumpy legs.— Could no more do it than he could dv; did'nt try either. All a darn!" Mr. Tape explained that the jumping was metaphorical; and, after a time Captain Smith seemed to have acquired a misty no tion of what was meant. Still, it was. he said, a very bad way of writing "history;" which species of composition should, be emphatically observed, be all facts, and no mistakes. "The retreat from Burgos was a masterly affair," persisted warrior Tape; "masterly indeed—uncommon!" "I dare say it was; and as you seem to admire it so much, I wish you had been one of the 'prenticee under the masterjust to see how it was done. and how agreeable and pleasant such a masterly job is to the people that do the work. I was one of them; and I declare to you I had much rather been in this cure, smoking this abominable cigar which won't smoke - "--and the Captain threw the unsatisfactory weed into the fire: immediately, however, accepting another from the ready hand of the obsequious Tape. That, frtunately, drew uncommonly well; the spiral columns ascended with the fulness and freedom in which the veteran loved to luxuriate. lie swallowed his demi tasse at a gulp; and, his sharp gray eyes twinkling with fresh lustre, said—"lt was in coming from Ba gas that I got into one of the miscreblest scrapes I ever experienced in my life: and all owing to my tender-heart tbe very , worst thing for a cam paign a man can carry about him. "Tell us, captain: What was it?

Captain Smith smiled graciously, seated himself. indulged in a few prefatory whiffs. and proceeded. ••Daring the many jour neys I at different times made through the province of Leon, in Spain, I fell in with a very worthy couple, whom I took a great liking to. Pedro Davila was by trade a cooper; he made all the cask& and tubs for Miles round the little town near which he lived; which was situated, I should tell you, a good deal out of the direct road, or rather the nearest road—fur there is nothing very f.IV: Y.

For ray part I preferred round-about ways at that time to straight ones; I found them safer. Pedro had a nice garden toot beautifully cultivated, and the prettiest lit tle black-eyed Andalusian wife—Pedro was also a native of the south of Spain—a man's eyes ever lighted upon. Pedro in his youtt. had taken service with a Span sh grandee. who, being compelled to fly his country—a common every-day thing abroad—took up ids abode in Paris; and there Pedro got ri of his fine old constitutional prejudicengainst foreigners, and obtained in exchange some modern universal philanthrophy—u bout the most dangerous article tu go n»narket with in Spain it is possible to imagine. And sure I am that if Pedro had known what a dreadful mess his turning philosopher get me into, to say nothing of his wife, he was far too good a fellow to have done au)- thing of the sort." "But what on earth. Captain Smith," in terrupted Tape. -could philosophy, Pedro', ur any one's else, hare to do with you?" "You will hear, Tape: it was his liberal mindedness and my totiderdieartednes joined together that played the mischiet with us buth. An excellent fellow, aotuitb standing," condoned the captain, older a brief pause, "was Pcidu Davila; /00 good for a Spaniard, much; one could hardly be lieve it of hind I was going to say he wa , equal Cu an Englishman, but that perlian would he pushing it £m fur% Ma•.y a s!•.i• of wine have we emptied together: none n, the :doe stuff you get here, but the genuin. juice, of the grape.

"At dm tone I speak of, it was highly dangerous to harbor, suecor, or com•eiti any Frenchman, woman, or child. Death. or worse punishment, was pretty, sure to be the down of any one offending against the laws ofvengeance; and it happened that inn of the most ferocious of minor guerrilla lenders, a relentless hunter and slayer of miserable fugitives, was Ramez, a native of the village or town near which Pedro !lied. Ile was seldom long absent from home; and was, in fact, the real governor of the plm:ie. "Well, it chanced uric unfortunate day that a wounded 'French officer, who had been chased fur several days by Ramez and his fellows, crawled into Pedro's cottage, and implored shelter and succor. His reL quest was, as you may anticipate, after what have told you of Pedro notions of philos ophy, grunted; and the hunted man was suc cessfully concealed, care:ully tended, and restored to health, The day of his depar turn had arrived; ho was citrefully disguised. mounted on Pedro's mule, and was just bid• ding his benefactor good-by at the garden gate, (Matietta, fortunately, as it turned out, was not at home,) when who should 'poke up his diabolical snout from the other side of the hedge but Ramez! The ugliest rascal, gentlemen," continued Captain Smith, with a violent emphasis, "the most ill-favored scoundrel I over saw in my life was Ramez: and that from a man who has been twenty years in the army, and has lived twenty years in London, is saying 11 great dent." This was quite cheerfully assented to.— The ugliness that after such a lengthened and first-rate experience bore elf the palm, was pronounced nece..sarily incomparable by the entire auditory. "Ile gave poor Pedro." continued the cap tain, "one most diabolical look, (I'll be hound the streak+ from his eyes—he always squinted both sides inwards when be was in a passion—crossed each other within an inch of his nose,) then rushed fi , rwarti and bawled lustily for help. The Frenchman spurred furiously into the adjoining forest and escaped. Pedro was seized. nod the alpha and omega of it, as the chaplain of the old half-hundredth used to say, was, that he was lugged to prison, tried a few hours afterwards, and condemned to death as a traitor. It was a wild time then: most places managed their own affairs their own way, and this was Master Raines and the alcalde's way. Pedro was to have been strangled, garated they called it, but there was no apparatus handy, and nobody that particularly liked the job; so, as a particu larly heavenly grace to him, the elcaldo said, it was determined should he be shot on the third day of his arrest. "It happened," resumed the captain, after again refreshing himself, "that I was. on the very day after Pedro's arrest and con demnation, returning from Burgos to Gen eral Picton's headquarters, a good way be ymol Astorga; and being near, and in no ‘ery particular hurry, I turned out of my to visit Pedro. When I arrived at the cottage. I _found things, as you may sup ' pose, La a very different state from what I had been imagining for the last hour or so. Instead of wine, there was hysterics; and for an omelette and salad, shrieks and faintings. Marietta clung round my neck with tremendous energy—l should nut hare thought, if I had not experienced it, that a pretty woman's embrace could be so very unpleasant—frantically beseeching me to send for the British army to liberate her Pedro. Extricating myself from her grasp as speedily as possible, I began to cost about in my mind as to what could be done; but I could not at all clear up my ideas. Re membering that I never had been able to do eo on a lead stomach, I suggested that we should first dine, and then perhaps I might hit upon something for poor Pzdro's benefit. Marietta agreed with tor; and we had, considering that her husband and my dearest friend was to be shot the day alter the next, n very nice comfortable dinner indeed—very—and some capital wine afterwards; end then, gentlemen, the hither of miscHef, or the wine. or Marietta',- black eyes. I don't know which, peril:it:lard; together, indueed me to make as spnnney proposal as ever fell from the lips of a green cockney." "There are clever, sensible men in the city,' interjected Tape, ns the captah. paused an instant to supply himself with a fresh eign r. "Perhaps so, Mr. Tape, but those gentle men seldom volunteer into the army, I be Here. I knew," said the vetern, continuing his net-naive, "that I might as well whistle jigs to a mile stone, and expect it to get up and twit parry ers, as ask the general in I . ..llllnand of the division about forty miles off to rescue Pedro from the grnsp of the Spankli authorities. The British generals never meddled with the administration of Spanish justice under any pretense what ever; fait I also knew that if he received a message stating that I was in danger, ho was Isiuml by general orders to afford me any assistance in his power. 'Marietta,' said I as last—the wine must have been tin usually string—'l have hit upon it.

If they consent, detioun e inc.'You, llen riquez?' said she, staring bewilderingly. - Nmer you mind,' I replied. 'A, note to Geeeral Picion—Fll write it nt once—will soon get me out of their clutches, whoever I am.' I wrote the note and gave it to her. 'Now mind, Marietta,' said I, solemnly, 'that Pedro gets off with this note the instant he is liberated. now soon can he reach the general on foot?' 'By to-mot row night,' she answered. 'Very well; and now then about it at once.' She was off in a twinkling, and I was at leisure to reflect on what I had done. To tell the truth, I did not. after.a few minutes quiet cogitation, feel excessively comfortable. They would be certain to believe the story; Ilettriquer. ' being, I was sure, known to none of them personally. I was a precious deal mere like a Spaniard than an Englishman; and I spoke the language so well—net altogether grammatically, it is true, but sit like a na tive of the south of Spain--that I felt I should hate some difficulty, should occasion rognive it, tomiideceive them. Then they had such a pest lent way of making not I (tidy sure hut short work with whoever they suspected of commerce with the bated French, that it flashed unpleasantly across my mind—the general's help might, per chance arrive too latel However, I was in fur it, and so taking another glass of wine. arid refilling any pipe—there's great. phil osophy in a pipe, as we all know--I awaited the result of my charming scheme as calmly as I cue/a. "It was not long coming. About half an hour after Marietta's departure, the door was slammed open, end I found m ys e lf sprawling and kicking, or rather sprawling, aad trying to kick, fo• they wouldn't let me, in the arms of five or six ugly rascals, who, showering upon me all the time the vilest abuse, hurried an off to pri4on. Into it they thrust no like a dog: and there, when I could recover breath and speech, I greeted Pedro. my fellow-prisoner. The nicalde nod Ramer, had only promised to re lease him, and, of course, when the of jest wits gained, refused to abide by the bar gain. If I bad not been the most consum• male ass that ever browsed or brayed, I might have guessed as much. Ramez had now two victims, and that promised a double holiday. "Well, gentlemen, this was, you may suppose, a very unpleasant position to find myself in; but as, thank Heaven I was never much troubled with nerves, I did not so much mind it after a bit. Marietta, I was sure, would be Id to the general with her best speed when she saw the ugly turn matters were taking; so that if my cnptnrs were not in a very patriotic hurry indeed. there was a chance on the cards yet. Pe .ro obtained some cigars from the jailor, an old acquaintance of hi.; they were firot-rate, and we both became gradually calm and composed. Ah. gentb•iuen, I have often thought that if the moral observations I addressed that evening to my friend Pedro, upon the duty of respecting national pre judices, particularly with regard to shelter ing wounded foreigners, and the shocking folly of making rash engagements with young women, especially after dinner, Ihad been taken down by a short hand writer they would have raised me to the next rank after Solontonl" "No doubt of it said Tape, looking nervously at the clock, "but do go on, cap tain; don't stop, don't!" not, Tape; but don't you hurry me as they did. Well, the neat day I was dragged before the alcalde and that rascal games, where, to my very great and most unpleasant surprise. two *nett, guerilla.aol diers, swore that they had frequently seen me in communisation with the French out- posts, and that they verily believed me to he nn other them the infamous Ilenriquez. Vainly, I pr...tc.•ted, finding the thing war getting much too serious, that I was an English officer; my assertions were laughed at, and I was reconveyed to my dungeon, after having heard myself sentenced to be s tot at the same hour which was to see the last of Pedro. Mr. Tape please to touch the bell. I'll take another cup; for my tongue always feels dry and but when I come to this part of my story." Mr. Tape di , t as he was desired, quickly, and bade the waiter who answered the sum mons, 'jump about." The anxious lather dasher had but just three minutes to spare. "That, gentleman," continued the cap tain, "was a very uncomfortable night. I was never, from a child, particularly fond of water drinking; but I remember crawling off the straw many thnes during the night, and almost emptying both pitchers. At ten o'clock we were to suffer, to bo shot to death by half a dozen rusty muskets. It was dreadfully aggravating! Day dawned at la -t, six, seven, eight, nine, ten o'clock tinkled through the jail; the door opened. and in stalked Ramez and the nlcalde, fol lowed by the rusty shooting party. We were politely informed that 'time' was up, and that we must both come CO the scratch at once, as the spectators didn't like to be kept waiting. They then kindly pinioned us, and away we marched. You never, per haps. walked in your own funeral proces ,.loo, Tape, did you?" "Lord, Captain Smith, bow can you ask such a horrid question?" "Well, if ever you &tumid, you'll remem ber it, that's all. Seeing King Lear is noth ing to it, though that's reckoning pretty deep. On we marched, the priests praying. the bells tolling, and the infernal musket men eyeing us as if to mtske up their minds esactly where to have the pleasure of hitting us. One scoundrel, with a short, ugly snub of an apology of a nose, meant. I could see, to send his bullet through my Roman. Al together, it was the most disagreeable walk I ever took in my life. We soon arrived at the place of sacrifice, and were ordered to kneel down. 'Pedro,' said I, 'that jewel of a wife of yours has played us a sweet trick; but perhaps she'll arrive in time, if she comes at all, to return thanks for all the good things we are about to receive; and that's a consolation anyway? I then took another look in the direction in which the expected succor ought to appear, when I saw, and tried to rub my eyes with my elbows to make sure I saw, but couldn't, a horsewoman on the summit of the hill; it was Marietta! I roared out like a raging hull, and Pedro gave chorus As soon as Marietta caught sight , •f m hat was going on, she curbed her horse sharply back, and beckoned with ea ger ge,tures over the hill. A minute after ward the ridge was crowned by half a regi ment of Btitish dragoons. Tho instant they saw us, they gave one loud cheer, and came on like a whirlwind. " •A narrow escape. Smith,' mid the corn in ending officer. 'But come, mount at Once. There is a large French f tree in the neigh- Ip•rhood, and the general's orders arc not to halt an instant.' I was delighted to hear it. The less said, was, I felt, The soonest mend*.d. If the general, thought I, were informed why he had been put to this trou• ble and risk, our meeting would scarcely be a very amicable one. 'l% ho is this?' said the officer, pointing to Pedro, who, though he had hallooed lustily, was by no means out of the wood. 'One of ours,' I boldly re plied. 'Then, mount, my good fellow, at once,' replied he, motioning to one of the led horses. Pedro understood the gesture, though ho didn't the language; and giving Marietta, who had unpinioned him, one hug. was in the saddle in a jiffy. 'Out of the way,' cried the commanding officer to the alcalde, who, instigated by Ramez, was ap proaching to claim Pedro at least as lawful prize. .0o of the way, fellow!' and he struck hint sharply with the flat of his sword. The frightened functionary tum bled out of our.path; the bugle sounded, and we were oft safe, sound, and merry." 4.l3ravol—lturral—flurral" resounded in irregular chorus through the room. Tape mas off like a shot; the unfortun ate man was full seven minutes behind his time. "Gentlemen," said Captain Smith, after the applause had subsided, "do not, if you please, frrget the moral of my story. Every thing. the chaplain used to arty, has a useful moral—even short rations—though I could never agree with him U.. that extent. The moral of this adventure I take to be this— Never, under any circumstances. assume to be what you are not; for f shot or hanged in a wrong character, you Ica/ never be able to amend the 'errors of description.'

His ordinary food is twenty-five pounds of raw meat per day, Ilia antago nist on this ocessioo was a famous stallion, whose ferooity and blood thirstiness had won for him the title of "Man Eater."— The account it; from the "Private Life earl Eastern King," anh runs thus; "Burrhea was the name ofa farorite tiger of the King's, so called from a village at the foot of the Himalayas, near to which he was taken. $1,50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE.; $2.00 IP NOT IN ADVANCE. We were all assembled at Chuan-gunge in the gallery of acourt yard, about sixty yard square in extent—a court yard with buil dings all around, and a verandah below. Thick bamboo railing had been put up front of the verandah, so as completely t. encircle court yard. and to form a sari of enlarged cage, The man eater bad beet enticed into the enclosure by means of a lit tle mare—a false, as the country horses are called—of trifling value.

We stood on hi• Majesty's right and left, leaning on the par apet, or on the sofa. Every one commanded a full view of the court yard, and the ladie• seemed to relish the prospect us =eh as any one. The order was given, and Burrhea's cage was brought into tin j verandah. A door in the bamboo railing. prepared for the perpuse, was drawn ul the cage door was opened, and Burrh.: bpunded into the court-yard, lashing his !sides with his long tail, and glaring feriou•• ly upon the man-eater and his little femal, friend.

As for the pear little mare, she seas transfixed with fear—paralytted apparently unable to take a thought f r preservation. She stood cowering in tl.o corner awaiting her fate. With it slight bound Burrhea was upon the ma! e in an instant. A blow of his paw threw her over on the ground; his teeth were fastened tin her neck, and he drank her blood greed ily. It was simple butchery, fur there was no resistance, "'ft will make Burrhea only . the nose savage,' ezild the King, rubbing his hands gleefully. The European courtiers assent ed; and the female attendants, ignorant the language. but certaiu that the Kirg was pleased, were mightily pleased t, o. They exchanged glances of approbation and of satisfaction era they turned again to watch the proceedings in the court-yard. Burrhea might have been from three to five minutes enjoying his draught of blood—not more—his head turned toward the man eater all the time, and his eyes for the most part fixed on him. The man-eater, on his side, gave no indications of uneasiness. An impatient snort esca red him; that was all. With protruded neck and cocked ears and glaring eye-balls, rind twit.hing tail, be watched his enemy intently, still standing in an easy attitude of attention, as if pro paled for immediate action. "At length Burrhea was satisfied, er else no more blood was forthcoming; and taking his claws out of the the dead animal. and skaking hituseliaq he did so, Le began c to go stealthily round the cow t yard, like it cat stealing"a march on a rat.

It was not a scene to be forgotten; the King and his attendant females gazing intently above; the European courtiers straining with eyes and ears to catch every move ment and every sound. the man-cater in the centre of the court-yard slowly turning as the tiger turned, his head and neck and ears ever the same; the tiger stealing along so cat-like in aspect, and yet so gigantic in strength. Not a sound was audible hut the grating of the man-eater's feet, as they were raised and lowered agaiu—not a sound other, but till was mute expectation and anxious gazing. "At length the tiger hounded with the rapidity of lightning upon Isis enemy; the horse was fully prepared. - It had evidently been Burrbea'e intention to seize the head and forequarters; but the man-eater was too adroit for that; and, by a quick diving notion of his bead and shoulders, bad re ceived Lie antagonist upon his muscular haunches behind. The claws sank deeply into the flesh while the hind feet of the tiger made a grasp or two at the fore legs of the horse; but there was no time to secure his position. The man-eater lashed up with his iron heels into the air with tre mendous vigor, and in a ummetst Burrhea was sprawiiug on the ground, not at all the better for his attack. We could hardly perceive, however, that he had been thrown upon his back—partly upon the bamboo railing. partly on the ground—when he was on his legs again, gyrating as before, mov ing stealthily around as if nothing bad happened.
