It was eaily on a sunny morning daring the progress of the last war with Great Britain, that a young naval officer, walking | on the Battery of New York, had bis at | teotion drawn to a group of persons earn t eslly engaged in watching two vessels that l were just visible down the battery. 'What is it my friends?' he asked, in a | frank, hearty tone as he joined them. •The teuder, again, chasing a sbooner, dr,'answered an ol i tar, touching the point of his hat, as he noticed the anchor button on the gentleman's coat, 'Here's a spy glass, sir,' said a mister's i | urate who stood near, and at the same time respectfully banding it to him. 'Thank you, my man,' answered the lieu tenant with a smile, as he took the instru ; urent and placed it to his eye. By its aid be could clearly distinguish an armed schooner of ab> ut ninety tons, crowd | ing sail in chase of a *&re and after,' that i that was making every exertion to escape, j both by towing and wetting her sails. 'The chae is about a half a mile ahead, j sir,' said the master's mate; 'but tbe tender • sails like a shark in chase of a dolphin.— j TLe fore aud after don't stand any chance i of getting in past the fort.' 'That tender ean sail, aud I urn the one that ought to know it,' said a stout, wheath •cr lea'eu man. 'She was a pilot boat, and was the fastest craft that ever danced over ; the water. Three weeks ago. 1 and iu\ crew were out in her, when you English [ frigate suddenly made Ler appearance out of a fog bank, and brought us to. But I : took my yawl, and pulled for the land a j league away., and escaped; for the fog was ! so thick that the Englishmen could not get a glimpse of me. It is my schooner they have turned into a lender sir, and that's | made so many captures the last three weeks j erf our small coasters.' j She carries forty men, and a lung thirly ! two —so i hear," observed a sailor in the j group. 'And is commanded by luff and reefer,' j added the mastery's mater. 'lt weald be a blessing,' observed a nran ; of-war's man, who had not yet spoken, 'if : (hat craft could be taken. It aiot safe for a sloop to put ber nose out of the harbor, j beyond the cape. While the frigate was there alone they could slip along the coast i in light water, and show their heels; 1 utcow everything that ventures out is brought to by the long tender.' •There'.? a faet, Ben,' responded another i seaman. She has taken ordriv.o back in to port no less than twenty *ix crafts iu the last three weeks. I shall be glad, for one, j wh'n our frigate lying off there gets her armament aboard, for then I think we'll | swallow the English frigate outside, and pick our teeth with the tender.' All these remarks were heard by the young officer who all the while continued to j lock through the spy-glass at the tender aud i hei chase* 'There goes a gun!' cried several of the ; spectator 5 , as a flash and jet of smoke came from the teuder's bows. 'That is bold enough,' observed the young officer, as if speaking his thoughts aloud; 'that impudent tender is almost up with the fort, and dares to fire at the chase in tbe very fac* of the batteries.' 'lt's, only to try and do ber mischief sir,' said the mastei's mate; 'for she finds the fore and after will escape her, so she fires a gun to ctit somtbing away.' 'Yon are right, my man,' responded the man 'for she has pat about and stands sea ward again.' He continued to watch the retiring ten der for seme length of time iu composed si lence 'lt's a pity that we hadn't an ariued cut ter in port that would sail faster than she can, so that we might give her chase out,' said a lad approaching tbe group. His dress was that of a midshipman, and his ! air singularly free and careless. 'Ah, Frank you are here?' said the lieu i tenant. When did you get back from your ; father's?' 'Last night. 1 was in hopes to find the j ship ready for sen, Mr. Perc'val; but I am J told that it will be tfrec weeks befo/e we | can gel a#sy. I want to have a brush with ■ John Bull's frigate, that hovers off and on I the harbor with such bravadoing. When j did you get into town sir?' j 'Yesterday morning. Have you been witnessing the pretty chase down the bay {tbis morning Frank?' 'Yes. I would give a year's pay if I could only have a hat.J in capturiog the rogne.' 'Come with me,' said the officer, putting his arm in that of the midshipman. 'Your words but express my own wishes. I have conceived a plau for capturing the tend er.' 'ln what way, sir?' demanded the youth,i with Animation. 'I will show you. The tender's game appears to be the coasting vessels, from which she takes men to impress in the Brit ish navy, also, plunders the craft of such things as they contain which are of any value. My plan is to charter an old sloop, the worst looking one that it is possible tc find in port, yet a tolerable fast sailer, for she must work well, and readily obey hot helm. I will load her deck with hencoops filled with poultry, peas ciammed with pigs aud a few sheep, and a calf or two by the way of variety. You laugh, Frank; but the commander of the tender will find it no laughing matter, if I suceed as I anticipate. 1 shall ship about thirty five men, aud con ceal them in the hold; and taking command of my craft, with ouly one hand visible on deck, 1 shall srt sail out to the harbor.— When I get outside, I thiuk 1 shall be able to show John Ball a Yankee trick he will not be able to forget very sooa. But all will depend on our good management of the affair. Now you see what I would be at, Frank! Will you join me?' 'Heart and hand, sir,'responded Frank Talbot, with enthusiasm. 'Will you allow me to be the hand on deck to help to work the sloop?' 'Yes, if you can talk Welhersfield Yan kee?' 'Wall, I rsyther guess I ken, though 1 haint been to Connecticut a nong : em sins last grass' This reply was pronouueed in such an in imitable Yankee dialect, that the lieutenant burst into a hearty laugh. 'You will do, Frank! Now we want to proceed at once to action. I want you to go to the Anchor rendezvous in Pearl street and drum up about five and thirty men.— Take only those who are daring aud ready for anything. Let none of them know your object, lest we should be betrayed by infor mation being conveyed to the tender. You will fiti'l ough ir. tbeao times that wilt ask no questions. Meet me at twelve o'clock at the Exchange reading room*, and report to nae.' The midshipman then took his leave, and hastened up the Battery. The lieutenant returned to the group, and taking aside tbe master's mate whom he knew, laid briefly before hiui his project. The old lar enter ed into it with a z;al. Together they weut to the docks, where, o*l account of tbe blockade, lay idle a large number of ves sels of every description. They were not long in discovering such a craft as suited them; aII idsou sloop of seventy toDs. — She was immediately put in trim for sailing by the master's mate,and three or four uien whom be employed; while the officer pro. ceed.-d to buy up and seaden board his live stock. The morning following these events the tender of the British frigate was standing off and on under easy sail, and close in with Sandy Book. The wind was from the southwest, and blowing about a five knot breeze. The sky was without a cloud and nniy a gentle undulation lifted the surface, of the ocean. The tender was a clipper built vessel, very long and narrow in the beam, aud constructed wholly with an eye to her fast sailing qualities; and she gave proof of them by overhauling everything- She carried amidships a loag thirty-two pounder. Her crew consisted of about thirty men in the uniform of the British navy. They were now principally assem bled on the bows and ou the windlass, talk ing together or watching the shore. Aft, the officer of the deck, a bluff full faced young English 'Middy' was lounging over the quarter railing, smoking a cigar. The man at the helm had a sinecure of his post, for the vessel tripped along so easily that she seemed almost to steer herself. 'Sail ho!' cried the look out from the bed of the bowsprit. 'Where away?' quickly demanded the offi cers. 'ln sort, two points forward the beam!' Aye, aye! I see?' auswercd the middy, leveling li s glass at a sloop just stealing out of the harbor, closely hugging the shore. 'lt's another of the Yankee coasters. — A sail in shore, Mr. Stauley,' said ho, speaking through the sky-light window sash. The lieutenant, a stout, fleshy, port-wine visaged John Bull, came on deck and to*,k sight at the stranger, which was about a league distant. It is a lumber sloop, but will bring her to, if she dares to venture out; for we may get some fresh provisions and vegotable3 from her if nothing more.' 'Shall I put ber on the other tack, sir?' 'Not yet. Keep on as we are till the sloop gets an offing. If we run for her BEDFORD. PA.. FRIDAY. APRIL 17.1857. now, sLe will take Lcr refuge in iLe har bor. The sloop stood oat for half a mile, and then hauling her wiud, beat down along the land. Ttie tender delayed her chase until she bad got too froui the entrance of the harbor again, and then putting about, ran for her so as to cut her off. The sloop seemed to take alarm, and began to make the best of her way toward the haibor she i had left. Confident of the speed of his own ' vessel, tho English lieutenant felt satisfied : that the chase was already his, an i laughed , at the efforts of the sloop to get away. At length they oatne near enough to see that her docks wore covered with pigs and j poultry. •A rare haul we shall make this morning,' i said the middy. 'Enough chicken pie for the whole frigate's crew, to say nothing of the turkies and roast pig for the cabin!' i 'What a regular slab side! Yankee skip- ! per she has at the helm 1 M m and boy ! she has a stout crew" said the lieutenant, I ' j laughing. 'They look frightened out of i their senses, they begin to think they are j done for! Sloop ahoy!' 'What ye want?' earns across the water j in the strongest nasal Yankeeiom. I want yon to Leave 'to, Brother j Jonathan!' 'l'd rayther not, if it's all the some to you! I'm in amity hurry! Frank!' added the disgusted American offiier, in an under tone, 'whou 1 order you to let go the jib, ycu must draw it aft as h irl as your ; straight will let you. lat the same time j will put the helm hard up, so that the sloop will pay off rapidly, and fall aboard of the tender for I'tu determined to go aboard of her. T shall curse your blunders and order you to let go; but don't mind me: keep pulling the jibasheet bard to windward— leave the rest to me. Now my men,' he said, speaking through the companion way, 'take a good grasp for your pistols and cutlasses. When I stamp my foot on the deck over your heads, throw off the hatches leap on the deck, and follow me.' 'Heave to, or I w : H ninSc you' What are you palavering about?' shouted the English ! man. The two vessels were now side by skle, | steering in the same course, a beam of each other, the tender to leeward, and about a hundred fathoms off. 'Wall, don't be too free with your pow der and I will. Aminvlab, let go that ar' jib-sheet?' .'Yes, I will,' answered the young reefer! and with a near'y wi!l be began to draw it' | fo windward, At the same moment the ' American officer pot the helm hard up, ! j aud the sloop rapidly payed off right toward j the tender. 'Let go that jib-sheet!' shouted the Eng | li.-h officer. 'Yes, Aiuinadab, you tarnal fool you, let 'it go, I say! Lit it go! Don't you see we are going aboard tbe capting's vessel.'— 'But'Aminadab' pulled the harder, and fairly took a turn with the sheet about a belaying pin. The English officer was about to pour a volley of caths upon him, when, seeing that the sloop would certainly fall foul of him, he turned to give orders for the protection of his own vessel; but ere he could utter them, sloop's bow struck her near tbe fore tigging, and swung round stern with steru. At the same instant the Autcriean officer j stamped upon the deck, and foitv armed men made their appearance from tie hatches, forecastle and leaped after I'ereival upon •he tender's deck. The Englishman, taken by surprise, sur- . rendered without scarcely striking a blow; and getting both vessels under sal, in the v ery sight of the frigate, the ga'lmt young captor sailed with his prise back into the harbor, and safely anchored her of the bat tery, after au absence of six hours and I j tweuty-seven minutes. HON. CHARLES B. PENIOSE, The following Resolutions ware offered ! in the Senate on the 7th inst, on the death ' of Hou. Charles B. Penrose, by Hr.

We have not room fir ail the speech and we will therefore only copy that of Mr. Jordan, in th> Senate, aui Mr. Thorne iu tho Home: Resolved, That tho Sen*?- 1 has learned with the deepest sorrow, the dtath of its : late member, Charles B. Penr<de. Revolved, That by tho death of Charles B. Pturose, the Common wealth la! lost one : of her most distinguished sots, aud the Senate one of its most brilliant ornaments.

Mr. JORDAN said— Mr. SPEAKER: —I cannot in jastice to ! the occasion or to my owu feelings, sit silent jon this solemn and impressive occasion. It | is but a few days siuce wc preformed the sad duty of pay ing appropriate honors to I the memory of one of Pennsylvania's noblest sons, (Dr. KANE,) who died far off in the sunny islands of the Atlantic. Death has r.ow come nigh unto us. He has not onlv ; entered our legislative halls, but he has : most suddenly, and unexpectedly, entered ! this Senate Chamber, invaded our small . circle here, and taken away one of us.— . This startling intrusion, yonder vacant chair, 1 aud that unoccupied desk, all speak to u 8 |by whom death's arrows have so closely passed, ia a language of solemnity and warn ! mg, which can neither ba unheard nor ruts* understood. Oar departed friend bad ser • ved our State and nation, long and faith fully, in many important posts of honor.— The wisdom of this world Ins sail; "Death ioves a shining mark," and a wL.dotn, not of this world, has proclaimed, that "Mao, being iu honor, abidetb not.'' It was my good fortune to have made the acquaintance of our deceased fellow Senator ! several years ag •; but I never beeime in timate with him, or learned his real worth, until we met here this session. Not only j have I enjoyed tbe pleasure and advantage of hi# superior wisdom in our daily inter course ou the floor of the Senate, but we ! uiet often on one of the most laborious cotn j miitees of this body; and 1 can boar most cheerful and heartfelt testimony to his in dustry, Lis zeal, his learning, his fidelity, and his patriotic and self sacrificing devo tion to tbe interests nf LL immediate coa i Stltueuts, and to the State at large. He j seemed to have acquired an inexhaustible store of knowledge on all subjects; he was truly "learucd in the law," and ever ready and powerful in debate. And all these united with 3 most commending personal presence, a practical knowledge of ail the details of legislation, and most amiable and fascinating manner#, combined to form a man of no ordinary mould, and one who had , every qualification to dignify and adorn any legislative assembly in the world. Although j Lis head was whitened over with the frosts of many winters, his spirit and affections : were buoyant, and his heart warm; aud in i both body aDd mind he retained, iu a trans- ] cendant degree, all the energy au j vigor of youth. Only a few Jays ago he was bete with us, with "his eye undimnie l, and his natural force unabated," taking a giant's i part in the battle of life: and now he is gone 1 called to see him in his sick room on : Saturday last. He was then suffering, but' talked of going borne; and in the character istic. kindness of his heart and affability of manners, he thanked me for my ca.il.— Alas! bow little did I then think I should j see his face no more forever. But he is dead. "The goldcr. bowl is broken: aud ! the silver chord is l.tosed;" atid at this sudden close of life's journey, he has taken ; passage, as we all sooner or later must, j "in that dark omnibus, Which brings no psssengors luck."' If not all christians, it is at times like | this we are made to feel that we should be; j and we can at least all join iu the hope that j onr loved friend has passed to a better . world, and that he is enlisted ia a more ex- j alted service, uuder Him, "whose banner | over him is love, and at whose right hand arc pleasures for ever more." HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. thorne, after offeriug the resolutions, spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker;—lt becomes my nnnleasani j duty to announce to this Mouse tbe death j of Hon. Obas. B. Penrose, iate Senator from the city of Philadelphia. Mr Penrose bad been suffering from what j was supposed to be a at-vera cold for some : time, and bad for a few days been absent j from his seat ia tbe Senate. On Thursday J last h - returned to flarrLborg and resaßicd !.is accustomed labors, and only to bo 6a- I LUed in death. lie was absent front the ! ' Seoaie again on Saturday, but not until i Sunday did his fiiends believe that his Senatorial aud earthly career wis about to ; close. Professional skill could not relieve ' i his suffering, or arrest the disease; and at 15 minutes before 3 o'clock yesterday, his spirit winged its flight to another and a better world. Mr. Penrose was bora in the city of Philadelphia in the year 1798, aud when about 9 years of age, with his parents, emigrated to and settled iu that portion o' the LoaisMna Territory now known as tbe State of Missouri. That Territory was then the home of the red-aian, and its few and sparce whito settlements were subject to his depredations. Charles B. Penrose, when fourteen years of age, enrolled him self a member of a volunteer company, and under Capt. Lucas, marched to the frontier to protect bis hardy and enterprising COUD trymen. This early training amid scdnes of hardship and danger, doubtless mote than any other circumstances, gave point and direction to his character* and wa3 the foundation of those trails which have so prominently distinguished, him through life* After peace and quiet had been partially resiored on the frontier, he was sent to Kentucky. wberefce received bis education. He subsequently returned to bis native city and commenced the study of law, and in 1822 was admitted to the bar. Astc r remaining in Philadelphia some years he removed to Cumberland county, and soon found himself surrounded by new friends and a lucrative practice. Ia the fall of ! 1833, under the provisions of the old Con stitution. he was elected a Senator from the district coajposed of the counties of Cum berland and Perry, and was re-elected from Cumberland, Freaklm and Adams. On the 2(sth Marelv, 1838, he was elected Speaker of the Senate, and was re-elected in December of the same year. While a I member of that body, he was distinguished for great ability and general an! practical ; knowledge of the measures of public poli |ey peculiar to our State. As an eloquent ! and forcible debater, he had no superior in that bod); arid the dignity and grace wit;! ! which he presided over it as Speaker, was the theme of universal praise. Upon the accession of Gen. Harrisrtt to the Presidancy, Mr. Penrose was appointed Solicitor of the Treasury, and continued in office until superceded by the administra tion of Mr. Polk. la 1847 he again returned to Philadel phia, and ia 181b was appointed by Presi dent Taylor Assistant Oecreurry of the Treasury, which position he held for a few I months, when he tendered his resignation. The citizens of his native citv, ia 1855 - * 9 : elected him a member of the Common Council, under the Consolidation act, and | immediately afterwards he commenced the task of assisting in the adjustment of the municipal form of govercnient of that city. ' Rts enlarged experience gave him high po sition, and he sO<-n became u ruling spirit iu that body. I . the summer of 1856. while Mr. Pcu ; rose wis absent from houir, aud without hi* knowledge, the American party nominated hint for the Senate, and he was again el?ct !ed to that body, "which, ia early life, he bid so much adorned, and in the midst of which he was to perform his last pubii c duty. Mr. Speaker, wheu the members of this bouj now surrounding tuo, left their bouues to eater upon their duties in this Hall, no one of thetu enjoyed better health, than he whose death we now mourn. A temperate, piuJeut life, had added strength to en al most iron constitution, and though the frosts of nearly sixty winters had silvered his brow, still hit erect form, and firm tread, gave promise that there were yet be fore birn years of honor and usefulness.— But "ihe ways of Provideuee are past find ing out," and when wa were looking for ward to an early day upon which we might again join our families aud friends, the mes senger of death summons from our midst our most distinguished colleague. "Death loves a shiuing mark." That messenger catne not to him aod found Li u unprepared, lie had long since learned the inestimable truth of the Christian religion, aud by their practical applieatioo bad made Liiu self ready whenever the summons should come. Though not surrounded by all his immediate family, still to those who watch ed his dissolution, he said—"l am about to die—but lam nt afraid of death—l rely npou my Creator, whom 1 bave tried to i serve." Thus passed from oar midst a g; -at and good mar?, an ornament to his native S'ate, in the iniist of a career o? honor and use fulness. "Let the coffin pass.** It bears from our sight all that remains cf owe whom it w;i3 our privilege to know, and honor to be associated with. It bears to the grave : that generous heart "thai throbbed for oth ers' woes." Mr. 3peakcr ( "A warmer heart death 'ne'er nude coal."
