Napier and. the Infernal M achine. A correspondent of the British United Ser vice 31f1 ,, azinc relates the following anecdote of "Old Charley :" When we were trying to take Boulogne in the war With Napoleon. Sir Charles was a middy. A boat was sent from the ship in-14 Inch he served to fix one of -the "infernals," then newly invented, to the side of a French vessel, and this boat was cotinnand ed by young Napier. A dark night was, of course, selected, and the boat duly pulled to the ship which .had been pointed out as the intended victim. The gallant adventurers got close uuder her, and were screwing on the Et tal invention, which was to blow her side in, and send her-to the :bottom-, when they-were hailed. in the plainest I.;tiglish. for an explana tion of "what they were doing there," and they discovered that they had mistaken then course, and were making earnest preparations for an nihilating one of the British-ships. Alter this lucky escape they made another attempt. Now, these -infernals" were worked by clock work, which was wound up, and set going, and after a certain 'regulated time tired the fuse. The terrible machine was put into the boat, and the party strUck off for the French vessel. In mid course one, of the sailors addressed Mr. Napier: "Sir, your Honor, the - beggar ticks." "Eh, what's that replied the young com mander. "Beggar ticks, sir," said Jack, pull ing away with the utmost composure. Napier Coshed from his seat and listened, and found that by some mans the clock work had been set going, and that it might.be five minutes or live seconds before the whole party, boat, and all, wouhl he blown to pieces. So the ma chine-was I ncontincntly pitched overboaal,, and I believe,Cle attempt was not: renewed.

IN 1635 AND 1855—LOoK We make the following eloquent extract from a speech or non. Kenneth Rayner, delivered in the Legislature of North Carolina in 1835. The Constitution of that State then prohibited Catholics from holding olliees of trust Within her horde's, and against this unjust and dis graceful clause Mr. Rayner, then just launch ing, his, bark on the political sea, pTotested with all the pow er which he possessed. Young And honest, nnwarped by partizan prejudices, and uncontaminated by stltish motives, he blushed with a manly shame at the intoler ant'T of his native State, and resolved to use his influence in blotting it from- the statute books, and placing Not ill Carolina on an equal itv with her sister States of the Union. Then he was the friend of civil and religious liberty; the advocate of justice and espial rights. Then he dared to "meet the crisis," and "pursue the path of tint;." Then, in his opinion, ••hones ty, capability and faithfulness to the Consti tution," were t jtt 1 Mott dom.. for office. lie could realize the outraged ft:chngs of the pilgtim stranger, who, having Pied from the land of oppression and sought a home in t'lis free land, discovered, when here, alas'. too late, that he, with his descendants. are barred ft•oin honorable - distinction, and “con - signed to obscuzity forever." • lie regarded the precepts of the Ohristbrn religion, and deckled proscription and intul erance to be in directopposition - to the spirit of chaiity and brotherly love, wide!' it enjoins upon mankind. Twenty years have passed away, and great are the changes which they have made. Rut few arc more manifest than those in the life of Kenneth Rayner. lie still lives, but hi- , noble prithiples lia4perished. Nu longer the ft fend of liberality, he stands before the people of the Union, a prominent leader of the Know Nothing patty—that party which has tile ' its motto, "war on Romanisln." and -whose wawhward is proscription. Now, in the se cret coon tip, he strikes not only at the rights of the honest emigrant, but also at those of the American Catholic. "Now; the question is not with him, is the citizen honest he capable? but is 'he a K way Nal h ing ? The Christian religion, which he once respected,. and which he declared condemned the very proscription which he now aids and encourages, is disre garded,,or exchanged fbr a more perfect puerirali !" Deluded man ! appointment has chilled the warur buoyant heart of y That "o% erw veining ttmbition ‘vltich o'er!eaps itself," has taken possession or his soul —the dazzling splendor 010111-ie and the —White- House" has allured him to pro scriptive bigotry, and he has fidlen nom the high estate which he once occopied, ill grovel in the 'gloom of intolerance. But though he has fallen. the good old North State has not retrograded. It the late election, she hums shown that she now is the fr0. ,, 0t of liberality —that she looks back to the days of Mr, Ray• ncr's youth with shame and regret, and nobly , does site rebtike him and all the enemies of toleration itt the vsodication of the honor and pat rioti , on of her citizens.
