LIFE ON THE OCEAN, ISLAND OF I CV, —AN ESCAPE. Among the many dangers that attend the life of a sailor, there is perhaps not one of them ail so fearful and fatal in its results as a collision with an ice-berg, or what is technically called “being caught in field-ice.” During the months of March, April and May, immense “fields of ice,” covering the surface of the waier for more than sixty miles in extent, are often met with to the eastward of tho “(Irani Banks of .New Foundlaud.” Field ice js far more dan gerous than the towering “ioe-berg.” It is level with the surface of the ocean, and even in daylight cannot be seen at any great distance; indeed, with a vigilant look out at the mast-head, it is often difficult to avoid “running” stem on to some iso lated but huge fragment that has drifted away from the immense mass that the force of the winds and waves has not as yet been able wholly to separate. Ice bergs, as their name implies, are islands of ice. They are of all sizes, from that of an acre lot, to at least six or eight miles in extent. Their attitude above the level of the sea is enormous, rising at times to over six hundred feet. Any one not fa miliar with the appearance of these great islands, would suppose that with ordinary prudence they might be easily avoided at all times. But such is not the case. —- During the night, even by moonlight, or in hazy weather, to say nothing of a dense fog, they cannot be seen more than half a mile, often not farther than six hundred yards. It is only the watchful and prac ticed eye of the seaman that sees instant and fearful danger in the misty bank that looms up ahead, and which to the gaze of the landsman appears to be a thin vapory cloud in the distant horizon. That thin vapory cloud, however, is an immense island of solid ice, towards which a ship is dashing at furious speed, and but for the vigilant “look out” that has been kept during the night watches, in less than live minutes that noble vessel would have been driven with the force of a thunder-bolt against its adamantine and rugged sides,! and amid the crush of falling masts, and the roar of elements, every soul on board would have been hurried into eternity, and the only record of. that event would have been summed, up in the usual short but significant sentence —a missing vessel.— But, and I sketch the sense from my own experience, “Ilard-a-port” has been shouted in a voice of thunder. The star tled helmsman makes the wheel fairly spin round as he shouts “Aye, aye, Sir,” and the next instant studding sail tacks— the starboard main and the larboard mizen braces are “let fly” and the noble Bhip answering to her helm luffs up to the wind, with her head to the northward. As she meets the force of her gale her topgallant masts are “carried away in the cups,” but what of that 1 The iceberg has been avoided—her yards are trimmed, and as she forgeß ahead and draws past its frozen and pitiless sides, it is so near that the . Toar of the breaking surf can be plainly heard on board. In the southern ocean, particularly, I when rounding Cape Horn, ice islands of immense magnitude are often met with. — The writer of this little sketch recojlects of passing no less than seven in one day. I was then in the ship Fortune of Ply mouth, Massachusetts. We were “bound around Cape Horn on a Sperm whaling voyage,” and as whalemen in those days, and I believe it is much the same now, took matters rather easily, we were in the ' habit of putting the ship under “snug sail” at sunset, which, in that latitude and at the season of which I am writing was at the hour of three. The sun had proba . bly been set about an hour, when the command was given to “shorten sail.”— The wind was light, but ahead as usual, and as we were then under single reefed topsails, shortening sail was somethinglike coming to an anchor. But the captain would not “carry sail with a head wind,” at least so he said, but I could plainly see j he was more afraid of the iee than the wind. We close-reefed the fore and mizen topsails, double reefed the main, and furled the jib and mainsail. About midnight it clouded all over and soon be came so dark that not a rope could be seen. The mate called all hands and had every inch of canvass taken. The dark ness was so intense that it was really op pressive. It was impossible to see the main mast against which we were leaning, or the ropes which we were hauling. In faet one queer old salt remarked, “A fel low wapied eyes in his fingers to find his way afloft.” The wind, after lulling away to a calm, suddenly hauled round to the eastward and in less than an hour blew a perfect<gale. Every one felt anxious to see the ship put before it, for the wind was mow fair, but the intense darkness and the fear of running on an ioeberg prevented us at .first from “squawing away.” A desire to get to the westward of the Cape had at length the. mastery in the Captain’s mind. ■The fore-top-mast stay-sail was set and the ship was soon rolling along on her course ! under “ bare poles,” Nothing could in- dnce the master to “make sail.” If she j ran on the ice he was determined it , should only be at the rate of four or five knots. The mate told him it might just i as well be ten, for no human power could save us if she only drifted against one. For nearly four hours we continued on our j course, the captain walking up and down j the deck, and every now and then showing \ his nervous anxiety by the tone of voice in , which he asked the helmsman how she : headed. The darkness, if possible, was i more intense, and the only indication of: life on board was the voices of the men, as ( they “hailed each other,” or replied to an j officer, who, if not seen, was often heard, j The captain’s fears at last triumphed ; he i suddenly ordered the “helm down,” and j brought the ship up to the wind. Then j addressing his officers, he said, “ I really ; don’t know what ails me, but I would not i run the ship another hour for ttie whole . world. I feel that I should either die or go crazy before the time expired.” It was nearly nine in the morning before the sun had had the power to dispel the gloomy darkness of the atmosphere sufficiently at once, and I shall never forget the fearful sight that opened on our astonished vision. We were completely ice-bound in the cen tre of a small bay on the windward side of an extensive iceberg. As our ship lay headed to the northward, we could see the “shores” o' - the bay extending from a point a little abaft our starboard beam round to the leeward, and then out directly ahead. The bay‘was about six miles from point to point, and it will be seen by the, nautical reader that our only chance was, if possi ble, to weather the one ahead which was about four miles distant. No time was to be lost, for the ice nearest the ship, and on which the sea was breaking mast-high, was not more than twenty miles off pur lee i beam. Eli/a Co-»k The gale was blowing furiously, but there could be no time lost in deliberating; sails must be made, and that at once. We set to work with the energy of despair.— Our topgallant yards and masts were down. Our topsails and courses were new sails, that had not been “bent” a fortnight.— With the aid of deck and luff tackles we soon got the three close-reefed topsails, reefed courses and spencers, on the ship. We had managed to get them set at inter vals during temporary lulls ; but when sudden and violent “williwaws,” or flaws struck us, I thought that either the sails would leave the ropes, or that they would bury our ship beneath the waves into which she was madly plunging. Shp was fast approaching the extreme point ahead. If we could weather that we were safe; but should the wind head us off on a single point, our doom was sealed. To be wrecked, and that, too, on that dreary Island of ice, thousands of miles from all we loved on earth, our frozen bodies dashed against its ragged and frigid sides, and finally to sink deep down in the fathomless ocean, with ‘no one near us to convey our last wishes to our beloved homes —oh ! the idea was indeed horrible. Each man on board lived a day in every ' moment that passed. Our good ship strug- ■ gled fearfully with the angry elements.— : Sometimes the wind would favor us, and then the point would be far away to lee- j ward of her head, and a faint smile would light up our countenances ; but again the ship would'fall off, and all hope would suddenly be • destroyed. The parting of a brace, a sheet, or an earing, or even the “splitting” of a sail would be fatal. .Our noble ship seemed instinct with life as she plunged her bows beneath the briny wave. As the waters rushed aft over her decks, she would rise with her bow in the air and tremble all over like the fiery war horse shaking his dripping mane. “ Ten minutes more,” I heard the cap tain say, “and if our sails hold on and the wind don’t veer, then we are safe.” The dangerous point was nearly abeam, but not one hundred yards distant, (so near was it that the fourth sea from us was breaking against it.) The words were barely out of the captain’s mouth ere there was a noise like that of a thunder clap. The foretop sail sheet had parted—the sail, with a few shakes that sounded like a volley of artil lery, was blown from the rope, and we felt that our fate was sealed. The wind too 1 flew round for an instant two points more | ahead. Certain destruction was before us, J and in less than three minutes, of all that ship’s company, not one would be left to tell of the sad fate of his companions.— ! But what is this!—the sails have hardly j had a chance to shake once, ere the wind i again flies back, and this time it has 1 ehanged nearly eight points, and is now a fair wind: Our ship is passing the point —yes, she is drawing ahead fast, “jjold ! on, good wind, one minute longer !” What i is this pefculiar motion of the vessel 1 ’tis * the rebound of the sea, as it dashes wildly I against the coast. It has flooded our j decks and caused our hearts to leap to our ! throats. We almost feel the keel of the fated ship as it grinds the ice, but the next glance shows us that we are safe. — The gale is steady, for we have passed the : point near which we were baffling. The !! head of the storm jib has been run up —the | wind is abaft the beam, and our brave ship I is flying over the waters with the speed of I a courser. Nicaragua. —The New York Trilmnr says A passenger by the Cahawba, which ar rived on Wednesday, brings intelligence nf the state of affairs in Nicaragua down to the 21st ult. Walker was still at Rivas. It was rumored that a combined movement was to be made by Walker, and Colonel Roekridge to regain possession of the steamers and recover their power on the river. Mr. Scott, the for mer agent of the Nicaragua Transit Company, had a steamer at the month of the San Juan, with dOO men on board, and ready to proceed up the river and attempt to take possession. Walker has received recruits, and his posi tion is much better than was supposed. Should he hold his own for a month longer, his army, it ia thought, will be larger than it has ever yet been. There was a strong disaffection existing between the allied forces, and every probability of the Costa Ricans going over to : Walker. A Defaulter. —A package of 525,000 in notes on the Dansville, N.

Wintbr.) but was not confirmed until yesterday, when a portion was redeemed at the Metropolitan Bank : and it was ascertained that the suspected individ ual had left on the previous Saturday, in the steamer Atlantic. The money was traced back through several brokers, to a small ex change office in Wost street. Mr. W. A. Coit, jr., one of the partners, starts in pursuit to day, in the steamship Persia.— N. Y.

LANC AN ENGLISH SKETCH OF JAMES I BUCHANAN. i The currer t number of the English JVew i Quarterly Review, contains a paper upon l our new President. It is apparently from 1 the pen of a brother diplomatist of the late j American Ambassador to the Court of St. i James. Aft(r a resume of the condition of the United States, the writer portrays Mr. Buchanan’s character, and indicates his policy as Presidents “ Mr. Buchanan has and perhaps only one, in common with Louis Napoleon ;he keeps his own counsel. In both instances it has been a source of pow er and a means of success. It is easier to offer'a negative than a positive affirmation as to the poiicy of the future President. He will certainly not be a King Log. He will be no puppet in the hands of his sup porters : nor will he, knowingly, allow his friends to sway his better judgment. He will not blinlly commit himself to a one- j sided policy, nor rashly throfr defiance in j the face of all parties and governments | who declare for the interests of civilization j and humanity. It is only by a knowledge of his personal and political character that an opinion can be formed of the policy the President elect is likely to pursue. By giving our readers a description borrowed from those who have long known him, inferences may be drawn as to his probable conduct when the time comes for him to exercise the high powers with iwhich he has been invested. Physically, he is a large, powerfully built man ; indeed neither physically, morally, nor politically, is there anything little about him. j He is above six feet high, large-limbed, and of a fair complexion, and, although past sixty, still shows that he was in earlier days, what the other sex, who must be allowed to decide in such matters, call a handsome man. He has the habit of holding his head inclined to one side, and sometimes partially closing one eye, as if to prove, what was undoubtedly the case during his mission to this country, that he could see a vast deal more with half an eye! than all our Ministers when they opened both of theirs to the fullest extent, as they had to do more than once, if all tales be true, during the course of their < transaction of business ’ with Mr. Buchanan. He is hale and vigorous, of regular and active habits, and unexcep tionable moral conduct; conscientiously re ligious, a Presbyterian, with more indul gence for those of other creeds than is sometimes founddo persons of thatpersua sion; 1 -kind-hearted, generous, and charita ble, as many instances reported by those who know lim will prove ; distinguished for great prudence and sagacity in making his decisions, and for firmness in their ex- eoution whei taken. He has forethought and cool se .f-possession, conservative in opinion and policy, and proves the sound ness of his judgment by being favorable to the Conservative party in England. He has been heard to say more than once—‘lt is remarkable that the Conservative lead ers and partly in England have always been more inclined to be friendly with the United States than the Whigs.’ In this by the way, he is not singular, for we have heard' a similar opinion expressed by other distinguished Amerioans. He has been from early life a successful lawyer in ar extensive practice, and most ably filled the highest posts in the Govern ment, next to that of President, having been Secretary of State, Envoy to St. Pe etersbnrg, He never was married ; an early ancl mutual attachment is spoken of by his friends, whose object was, by one of those terrible dispensations which cer tain, steadfast natures never can forget, snatched from him. Like another distin guished American, Washington Irving, who suffered a similar bereavement, he has remained faithful to the memory of her whom he has lost. Although the private lives of men in high stations are considered as belonging to the public domain, it would not we think, be delicate to allude more particularly to the circumstances atten dant on this deep affliction in the outset of Mr. Bucliai an’s career. What we have said suffices to show that no cold insensi bility of character condemned him to celibacy. In manner Mr. utuchanan is courteous, add in conversation mild and deliberate, with a smack of the old school. His bear ing is calm and dignified, his temper and language is j under complete control; al though on occasions, when he has conceived that personal or official slight is intended, he has shown that, though his parents were Irish, he cm vindicate the claim of his family to a Scotch origin, by acting up to the motto, JVemo me impune lacessit. The new leader s designated by some as the zealous leader of the Slaveocracy, and re ported to be the warm advocate of Slavery. That this cc rrect in its full extent, we must be permitted to doubt. Mr. Buchanan is not a native of a Slave State, but a Penn sylvanian, who never owned a slave in his life, nor is he likely ever to do so. Nor do we think that he is an approver of Sla very, although, in dealing with a great evil already existing, he knows and feels the extreme difficulty that practically sur rounds the question. ‘ He may, like other men in public life, wish to be on good terms with many whose conduct or principles he cannot wholly approve. The opinion formed of Mr. Buchanan in eenain ministerial circles in this country was not favorable. Some of those high in office considered him as a sort of political hedgehog—prejudiced against England, hostile to t er Government, and thoroughly philo Russian. Those who saw him most do not share in this opinion, and are far from anticipating such violent measures as may be predicted from the tenor of the Ostend manifesto. But the flattering at tentions showered upon him in St. Peters burg, not t nly within the Imperial Palace, but by all the nobility, may have rendered him alive to the coldness he experienced from certa.n of our aristocracy. He was on very fr: endly terms with many persons of distinct on here, and it speaks in his fa vor that t rose who knew him best liked him most: but others, especially some with whom he came in contact in his official po sition ,-regirded him as Washington Irving describes he old Dutch families of New York to have looked upon the Yankees, ‘with great respect and abhorrence.’ ■ Americans have informed us that he left England, with feelings of the deepest re spect and jesteem for the highest personages of the realm, buthad lost much of such feelings for those who compose the Govern ment. Desiring, as a man, all prosperity to onr sovereign, he must naturally wish her a better ministry ; while as President, AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, in the not improbable contingency of the United States requiring England to aban an island or give up a consul, he would ('esire the continuance in office those now at the head of affairs, who have distin guished themselves by doing such things with a jaunty, unblushing grace that is inimitable; and have eaten enormous leeks, not only with a gusto, but to the sound of their own trumpets. Mr. Buchanan’s reply to the Franklin and Marshall address confirms our anticipations of his conserva tive policy, and assures us that he will use his power and great abilities to lead back this giant Republic to the paths marked out so impressively by its founder A British Review oh Mr. Buchanan.— I The new Quarterly Review, in a review of. Mr. Buchanan's personnel, says: 1 “ He has the habit (that historians attribute to Alexander the Great) of holding his head somewhat inclined to one sid**, and sometimes partially closing one eye, as if to prove, what was undoubtedly the case during his^mission in this country, that he could see a vast deal more with half an eye, than all our Ministers when they opened both theirs to the fullest extent, as they had to do more than once, if all tales arc true during the course of their ‘transaction of business’ with Mr. Buchan- CARDS. nr.
