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.

KENNETH RAYNER. 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.

...IVhat other rule can there be than to leave

Vor my own piti , t, 1 . -situ: ere - 1y believe and hope
that those who belong to- all the departments
of,the great chnitii ht Christ, if in truth and
purity - they conform to the doctrines which
they profess. will ultinutt , ly secure an abode
in those regions of bliss which all aim finally
to reach. I think -that ihere is no potentate in

from going upon the street during the day.
No attention, however, WAS paid to alm Kit z ,

he haul laboriously worked was nearly demol

of himself and family threatened.
At this point a fight occurred in the street,'
in Which a Uerninn, residing on Shelby, and.
'Madison streets, was killed and several injured.
M. Saatkamp, a German baker, on Walnut
