It was on a warm =Sod sultry afternoon in ,the tropics, that a clean built rakish look ing brig, of the Baltimore model, was slow ly foaming her way. over the bosom of. the broad Atlantic on her homeward bound voy age. The sun was just abourquenching its fiery beat beneath the waves of the ocean, throw ing one last bright glare over the immense expanse of water. All was quiet on board the White Cloud, the bands had knocked off from their work, every sail was set that could catch a breath of wind, and the long tapering of the yards were trimmed with a beautiful precision that gave'evidence of skill and judgment, in the man who commanded her, whom we;shall take by the hand .and introduce 'to the rea der, by the name of Capt. Ben Bobstay. Capt.:Bobstay was a very large muscular man of fifty years of age, and was cool, de termined, powerful and experienced. His mate was a young man, a native of Maine hut who, in . addition to the natural enterpriSe and go-ahead-ativeness of the Yankee character, had received the advanta-- ges of illiberal collegiate education, at a time when his family were in wealthy circum stances; a position which• they had lost by the fraud and machinations of those who professed the most disinterested 'friendship for them. At the age of twenty-one Robert Renshaw found hinitelf penniless, the only support of 'his widowed, affectionate and al most heart-broken mother. 39-i f i , t3 Sil ent tie -IUP" Disgusted at the duplicity and faithlessness of his former companions, the proud and sensitive youth, nova proud because of his poverty - beeame almost a misanthrope ; he visited nowhere, shunned society, and felt alone in the world. In this mood of mind, he suddenly formed the intention of "follow ing the sea' , as it is called, and. shipped on board of a vessel bound for the East Indies. At the time that our story opens, Robert Renshaw was twenty-six years of age ; he had travelled much, and had stored his mind with a variety of practical and useful know ledge, which be every day found of immense utility to him. By a judicious disposition'of various adventures which he had made from time to time on his voyages, he had acquired, sufficient property to place his beloved par ent in comfortable circumstance beyond the reach of want. As we before stated, the sun was just set ting,-brightening the horizon with its last rays, when all hands . on board the brig we have just visited, were - roused by the cry of sail ho ! from the mast head.' " Where away ?" said the captain. " Four points to the weather bow, sir," replied the man. " I can't see clearly sir ; but should judge she was a large two topsail schooner, very 'rakish and with a great spread of canvass. " " Mr. Renshaw ! take this glass, jump up in the rigging, and see what you can make of , her sir !" • " Aye, aye, sir!" and away . went the mate up the rigging to the main-top-mast cross trees. After a long and steady look he confirmed the report of the " look-out," and gave it as his opinion that she wasan armed craft. " She must bayous-sir," said the mate, " for she has turned her course and is stand ing for us." Very well !" replied the Captain, "with no more wind than there is now, he could not come to us before 12 o'clock ; there is no moon to-eight ; and I do not think that it will breeze up any ; so we have plenty of time to prepare, if it should prove to be our enemy." " Yes sir, said Renshaw ; but she may have sweeps !" " True ! I did not think of that ; but then these Mexican Mezicans would be too lazy to use them if) she has, uuless it is to tun away with." Night fell, and a thick mackerel sky grad ually overspread the whole heavens, shut ting out every star and betokening a lively breeze for the next day : , ".I have a proposition to make if you please, sir," said Rehshaw, addressing the Captain, " Out with it, sir." "It is this :—we have no craft of that build in our navy, neither have the English or French ; she must then be a Mexican or , a pirate; in . either case she is well worth taking: the night is dark ; let me take the boat and eight men well armed ; you will have the second grate, cook, steward and two men on board the brig. I will board the schooner in the dark, they will not sus pect such a thing, and I hope to carry her by surprise," Captain Bobstay pondered a few moments, and finally replied :.4‘ Well, this brig and cargo are mine; I am responsible to no one. Go ahead." In a few minutes Renshaw followed by eight able men, athletic Yankee sailors, arch ed to the'teeth, and eager for the fun, was pulling away in the barge with muffled oars, in the direction where the schooner was last seen. As soon as she left the side, Captain Bobstay took in all sail but the main and oretopsails„which he lowered on their caps, !Luea taut the buntlines and rounded thro' the lack of Clewlines, and then braced up char e put the brig on the wind and laid his \ main psail to the mast, lashed his helm a-lee, ar ed the rest of his men except the cook, got ut his other boat and pushed off \ in the wake f his mate, leaving thq vessel in charge of t e cook, who had been a long time with him. Renshaw, in t i conscious of the i i pulled silently and , schooner, the dim out int short time he saw grade ~ " Avast pulling ! lay on :. him come; the flash of , your .:1 ter might discover .us.' The looms of the oars were le ked under the riggings, and every man .1.. - ned his cutlass and shook the priming 'of hi istols. In a short time, Renshaw, who se eke the Spanish fl uently, could hear the voice o(the watch on board the sehooner,- threatiging .. Afucrd los hfaldilos Yanks," or " death 6a. the internals Yankees." and cong.tatulating themselves On this chance of." Cortirakando _ . sus'perguizos," or "cutting their throats." A.s she was Moving but slowly ever the waters, Renshaw thought it advisable to to board over the stem, at once would give him command erver,the quarter deck and the officers ; tooveat ati advantage to be lost.— In consequence he left, her, glide past, keep ing just the.shadow of her bends with out touelung, and smutting her ports as she JOURNAL, 4ENERAL ADVERTISER. plietrp. e meantime, perfectly un tention of his captain, expediously for the ';oes of which in a 'ty Reanng him. `Hour oars, and let -are in the wa slid by : six ports were . counted with the frowning muzzles of her guns projecting— finally the Mexican standard with the eagle standing on the cactus and holding , the ser pent, turned his lazy folds to his keen gaze. " Now lads, caution and courage is the word." According to a preconcerted arrangement, the bowman put his boat hook to the gunnel of the Mexican boat hanging to the other dat vita, and, held on, being towed by the schoon t er, while Renshaw's men carefully and st-, lently deposited their oars on the thwarts o of their boat. Luckily the schooner like most others of her clash; had no cabin ;win dows in the stern. ReashaWhimselfquietly climbed up the staff of the boat-hook the man was holding into the small boat above him, taking the painter of his own in his teeth. He arrived safely without creating alarm, being sheltered 'from observation by the taffinil and round-house - of the schooner, made fast the end of his painter, and in a few moments was joined by his men. He then raised his head above <the taffrail and saw the than at ;the wheel awl two officers leaning over the weather-side of the quarter rail. Silently he advaniied'followed by his men, one of whom stunned the helmsman by a blow delivered in true nautical Style, under his ear: In a minute more, the. two officers found themselves at the bottom of the cabin_ stairs, having . performed, sundry evolutitiiii - and convolutions in arriving at this terminus; half stunned, bruised, and in no way able.to account for the manner of their getting'.there. The first impulse was to rush on 'deck ; but their progress was suddenly stopped by' the companion hatch which was hauled over and barred_doWn. In the meantime, our hero,,ak-the head of his 'daring little crew pushed bOldly - .fiirward into the waist, conquering all before him in their surprise, add Would dOubtless have succeeded in carrying the schooner by this coup de mein, as bold as it was well conceiv ed; had the officer incommand not heard the disturbance, and at glance seen that the schooner was, boarded. Hastily summoning his crew which was now dithinished to some twenty-five men, since ten of them had been thrown overboard by the impetuous Americans, and five offi cers locked up in the cabin without means of egress; he made a lurious charge and the intrepid little band, now presented a small but solid front to their assailants: , The Yankees fought like tigersonaking sad havoc with their enemies, whom nothing but their immense numerical superiority and the courage of their leader kept to their work. But overborne with numbers they gradually gave ground. The Mexican officer with some of his men had dragged one of the bow chasers from its pcirt loading it with grape and cannister, and was about pointing it on our little band of heroes, when with a yell,that,made all ring, a gigantic form was seen coming over the bows followed by several others. With one sweep of his herculean arm the head of the cannoneer, who was about to apply the match, rolled on the deck. another sent the gallant officer to his last account, while the men who followed him, attacked like furies in the tear of the astonished 'and pan ic stricken Mexicans; of whom the surviv ing ones immediately ran below, when the hatches were hauled over them and secured. In half an hour more Captain Bobstay who thus most opportunely come to the res cue of his gallant mate, was in peaceable po session of the Mexican Privateer El V olandor or the Flying Fish. Upon searching, nearly two hundred thousand dollars were found on board . of her ; funds sent by the Mexican government to Havanna to aid in the pur chase of anaunition for carrying on war. In ten days the brig arrived in Charleston -with her prize, which was. condemned and sold, so that with the prize money, and law ful booty.our hero found himself rit, the end of his cruise, worth nearly forty thousand dollars. Being comparatively wealthy, he married a young lady to whom he had long been at tached and who was every way worthy of him, but with whom his poverty had pre vented his being previously united ; he nuw dwells in Massachusetts, beloved and re spected by a large circle of friends and ac quaintances. ijistorical. A SCAFFOLD SCENE. Joseph Moncharmont, who was convicted of a double murder during the April term of the Assizes Boucles de Rhone, France, was on the llth May beheaded in the great mar ket-place, of Chalons. The Gazette des Tri bunaus gives the following account of Mon charmont's last hours : At 5 o'clock in the morning, the chaplain of the. prison entered the convict's cell and informed him that his appeal to the Supreme Court had been rejected ; he must therefore prepare to die within a few hours: Mont- charmont, who, to say the least, had enter tained the most sanguine hope of mercy being shown to him, seemed stupefied by the dread ful news, but he soon rallied, and, uttering dreadful cries and . impreeations, swore that he would not submit to being dragged to the scaffold. The jailors tried to overcome his fear of death by allowing hint a larger quan tity of Wine, but he refused to take it, and when the executioners arrived, he had barri caded his door, and refused to surrender.— Coercivelmeasures were then adopted, and the convict was at last.secured ; he cried and wept while they were pinioning himi, and sometimes he would break out in such un controllable fury, that although bound, his guards stood away from him. He was car ried to the wagon, and -slowly conveyed, to the scaffold. - After being lifted from the cart, the guards attempted to make him mount the few steps leading to the scaffold, and for this purpose loosened the ropes which confined his legs. This had scarcelylvertaccomplished when Montcharmont turned upon them, - and with the strength of despair tried to force his way through their midst. Shouting the name of his father and mother, and calling upon the surrounding crowd to assist him, he' threw himself headlong into the midst of the guards after having, by a sudden jerk of his powerful shotildersOreed himself of the last remaining bonds. He etas repulsed, and obliged to fly to the top of the scaffold, which, from its: height, seemed to afford him better protection against the guards and execution- I ,ers. Mazoyer, a. venerable priest, was the only person on the scaffold beside Mont charmont. He had been summoned there to cheer the convict's last moments with the comforts of religion. To him the wretched, culprit turned and after fervently kissing the crucifix, asked for and obtained the old meet blessing. The struggle then commend once more: the cries of Montcharmont rescue by the surrounding crowd, became' rqore and more frantic, but not a finger moved in his behalf, not a single-voice was raised for him. The struggle on the scaffold lasted for nearly one hour,, at the.end of which the convict still held, possession of his stand, whence he was not to be driven without the application of firearms which the command er refused to do. - Stones were hurled in large numbers and the convict seemed feckless of his life for he heedekthem not, andbled from many a wound thus received. °gem twice he himself called upon the soldiers to shoot him, ifoir.he did not fear death, but would not meet , ii through the guillotine. When there seemed at last to be no prosrieet of making hirti submit to his fate,- the executioners were very glad to capitulate with him, promising that they'would take hiM back to the prison, Ulttered, and once morelepresent his as - 6 - w e Supremepourt. - This they well knew, but - Monchannont in , his :gam to sanguine hope, M the cart...

His excitement, however, being, great, he was allowed to lay in the prisons yard until six o'clock in the afternoon, when' the mournful train once more set out for the market place. The executioners, this time' being -fully prepared for their, task, carried the culprit up;the steps of the scaffold, and in another instant the dull sound of the fall inf , , knife 'proclaimed that the laW had been vindicated. . ((The murders for which Moncharmont wai -etecuted-ate not the only ones committed by him, and itris the more extraordinary, that a man Who never had• the least pity or emotion at the sufferings and death agonies of his vic.; rims should have so great a dread of the guil lotine. his fear, it is said, originated from a dream, which he had when yet a boy, and since then the dreadful image of a scaffold has remained uppermost in his thoughts.— When spoken to and consoled by others, he would say "but this dreadful knife and the • bloodstained plank, which rconstantly see," thereby alluding to the guillotine, and during his captivity he often awoke from the dreams he had on the same subject, and called loudly for help to rescue hint from the hands of the executioner. We have 'already stated that the Russian Government has decided that the thousandth anniversary of the Russian Empire shall be celebrated next year with the greatest pomp in all the cities and large towns of Russia.— The foundation of that empire• was laid by Ruric and his, followers, from Scandinavia. Previously, the whole of that region was traversed by tribes of barbarians, called by the Romans,- Sarmatians. Ruric was of Nornaan stock, and from him and his adhe rents have descended in great part, the .pie sent nobility of Russia. The serfs are the old Sarmatians, though the intermingling of the two races, on the same soil, and breath ing the same atmosphere, has effaced, we suppose, till traces of their different origins. The names Russ and Russians, were derived from the Nor Mans. It is most remarkable that both the English and Russian nobility, boast of the same origin—the Normans, it is well known, having settled in France, and afterwards, under William the Conqueror, having taken possession of England. These two race , , the English and the Russian, with their copious infusion of Norman blood, are now doubtless exercising the greatest and most widely extended influence upon the world. The English language is spoken by about 55,000,000 of people, the Russian by about 47,000,000. The late Mr. Wheaton, 1 1 for Many years a minister of our country to the North of Europe, wrote a roost excellent volume on the Northmen. It should occupy a much larger space than it does in the read ing of theftlay.--iVercark Adv. WRITING OP GREAT PERSONS Queen Elilabeth—ln youth the Queen's handwriting was clear and regular almost as engraving. When age had tamed the old girl, her letters were spiteful—the lines ir regular—an ugly old maid's version of her former hand—and the signature was a thing to make one, bless one's self. Martin 4uthur -His writing was firm and legible, tlli ugh not very equal_uor very straight. Martin had strollg passions, as well as stron# reasons for what he did. Sir Thomas Moore—By no means display ing the calm firtnness'he possessed—the lines crooked and tumbling down hill. Rubens—Manly, bold, and with a care less ease and clearness, denoting mastery of hand. Lord Baeon—Very like an elegant modern short hand. ; Clear, neat and regular. The signature involved with broken lines, as if a Hy - had struggled and died in a spider's web. yoltaire . --Very clear, regular, steady and straight; evidently not written rapidly, but with a.continuous ease, which might go ou writing book after book in just the same way. Oliver Cromwell—Large, bold, legible, steady, sharp, and straight. The signatitre made of halberts anti pointed palisades. Prince De Cunde—Not at all in accordance with the strong expression arid Wahl-fea tures orhis face. Charlotte Corday—Firm, clear, steady, hu not without etnotiou. Cuvier—Very like the writing of Charlotte Corday, but not so strong and compact. banton—Wilful, daring, without method or ears. George the Fourth—Not at all the very gentlemanly hand most people would_ expect —rather like a housemaid's. • Pope—Very bad, small, full of indecisitin a very hedge-row of corrections. Cardinal Wulsey—A good hand, disturbed only hy 'nervous energy and self-will. Porson—Correct and steady ; the reverse of his personal appearance and habits. Sliakspeare-4 very bad hand indeed, cOn fused, crowded; crooked in the lines, and scarcely, legible. • ' Napofeon—Still more illegible. No let ters formed ar.all : the signature a mere has ty " scrimmage " with the pen. ]MANUFACTURE OF STEEL PENS} The following interesting particulars are from the London Builder: Steel pens are almost entirely manufac tured' by women and young girls ; and it is probable that out of 2000 persons or upwards now engaged in the business, not above 100 or 150 are of the male sex. The manufac ture of. pen-holders and pen-boxes, gives employment to an additional number of wo men and children, variously estimated frotn 200 - to 400 persons. • About the year lEpo or 1821, the first gross of three-slit pens were sold, wholesale, at the rate of £7 4s. the gross. In 1830, they had fallen to Bs. ; and in 1832 to 6s. the gross. One factory alone in Birmingham, produces them at the rate of no less than 40,000 gross, or 6,700,- 000 in , a week—very nearly a million, or 960,000 per working-day, or 279,528,000 per annum. At the lowest calculation, Bir mingham produces 1000 millions per an num. The cheapest pens are sold as low as 2d. per gross, wholesale ; and the price rises with the elasticity and finish of the pens'up to 3s. 6d. and ss. per gross. Birmingham produces them all, and one establishment has the distinctive mark of 500 different dealers in all parts of the country, as well as on the continent of Europe and America, for whom he manufactures accord ing to ordar. rt The sheets of steel reeeived from Sheffield, are reduced to the required tensity by suc cessive transits through the rolling mill op erations, tended by men snd boys. Then re duced to the thinness of 'a steel pen, length • about two feet, breadth two and a half to three inches, the sheets are ready for punch in . out the blanks. This' rocess is perform ed with very great rapidity—one girl of aver age .industry and dexterity being able to punch out about 100 gross a day. ° - The next operation is to place the blpks in a concave die, on which a slight touch .from a convex piece produces the required shape, that of the semi-tube. The slits and uppertures to increase the elasticity, and the maker's or vender's name or mark areipro (laced by a similar tool. Previously, how ever, the pen undergoes a variety of other processes. When complete all but the slit, I it is soft and pliable, and may be bent or twisted in the hands like a piece of thin lead. Being collected in: grosses, or great grosses, the_pens are thiown intadittle square boies by men, and placed in a lurnace,,wbere they remain till box and Pens are of a white heat. They are then taken out and thrown h4sing hot into pails or tanks of Oil, when they) may be broken like so many wafers after draining; „they are then made to revolve rapidly, in a I perforated cylinder. -1?- the prison &Orli, "a he arms at the Ed; I:O"TEMPTATIONS 1041-14,file WhiCh rubs Off mach of the ruet of selfiloafideace.

On enterinc , the Chapel, where some two hundred of these b unfortu nates were quietly seated, the overseer in troduced the President of the United States, when all rose, respectfully bowed, and re sumed their seats. Each member of she.. party was then introduced by name, whey ' the same ceremony was profoundly repeated.'; Dr. Maltby, a wise Lunatic, then arose and-. welcomed the President in a strain of grace.' ' ful and touching eloquence that; drew tears to every eye. He is a tall, thin, pale man, with penetrating eyes, a tine voice, and ges tures belonging to the polite oratory of "gen tlemen of the old school." The Presidenea • reply was nisi:, very happy and affecting:. So orderly and well behaved a company surely has not greeted him in all his travels. In one of the temale Wards the whole party was individually introduced to an elegantly dressed and most accomplished lady, the daughter of one of the most distinguished lawyers New York has ever produced. She had the right word ready , for every , one who • addresSed her, end presented the President with-it sweet little boquet of her own ar ranging, in the most tasteful and graceful manner. - We saw the same "act of presen- • tation" performed a hundred times, but in no instance with such exquisite simplicity and grace as marked the offering of this accom plished lady. She is about forty , years of age ; abd in mentioning the names of some of the distinguished men she had entertained at her father's house added—"but for the last seven years I have been—very much-out of the world." There was a young girl,in the Asylum who also attracted much attention by her beauty of person and 'elegance of dress. - She did not appear to be over seventeen years of age, and there was not the slightest indication of lu nacy, or even of "irregularity," about her. She stood in the door of her room, which was adorned with flowers, gracefully ac-; knowledging the bows of the visitors, though no one presumed to speak to her. She wore a beautiful wreath of peach and cherry blos sums in her dark hair—the only ornaments •' appropriate to her rare and touching beauty. Thinking of theffair Ophelia" and the heart broken "Bride of Lammermoor," andall the delicate feminine hamstrings that were ever ' broken by soriow or sin,we left the beautiful: Lunatic, and for hours afterwards, every.: sound seemed a moan, every breeze a sigh t , l and even the "drops of the morning" which glistened in the flowers looked more like tears of sadness than gems of joy. ECCENTRICITIES OP TUE STARS. At a meeting of the Berlin Academy of Sciences held on May 31 last, the venerable Alexander von Humboltanade an interesting communication upon some observations of singular movements of fixed stars. It seems that at Triest, January 17. ISSI, between 7 and 8 o'clock P.M., before the rising of the moon, when - the star Sirius was not far from the horizon, it was scen'to perform a remarkable series of eccentric movements.— It rose and sank, moved left and right, and sometimes seemed to move in,a curved line: The observers were Mr. Keane, a student' in the upper class of the gymnasium, and Mr. Thugutt,a saddler,both certified to be reliable persons. a The family of the latter also beheld the phenomena. Mr. Keune, with his head leaned immovably against a wall,'saw Sirius, rise in a sight line above the roof of a rie!gh; borint,; — litruse, and again sink out of sight ' behind it, and then again appear. • : . Its motions were so considerable that- for_ some time the beholders thought it WAS a lantern suspended by a kite., it also varied' in brilliancy, growing alternately brighter and fainter, and now and then being fbr mo meats qt itr invisible, though the sky was perfectly clear, pAs far as it is known- this phenomenon has been remarked but twice be fore, once in 1799, from the Peak of Teneriff, by Von Humboldt hirriself, and again nearly fifty years later, by a well informed'and tare.: ful observer, Prince Adalbert of Prussia. CD — THERE is a perennial nobleness. and even sacredness, in work. Were he ever so benighted, forgetful at his 'high ealling,theite , is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works; in idleness alone is there' perpetual despair. Doubt, desire.• sorrow, remorse, indignation, despair itself-- r all these: like hell-dogs, lie beleaguering the soul of. the poor day-worker as of every . -man ; but he bends himself with free valor against his task, and all these are stillech—all these shrink murmuring far off into their caves. 0:7" THOSE only-are fit to goiern others, who are able to govern themselves'. A tho rough knowledge of oneself leads directly to the knowledge of mankind at large; forin ward examination is the parent of outward " observation. The last l thing we ought to re sign in life, is the right of thought—the first thing we ought to resist, is any attempt to enchain it ; and acting thus, we may be as sured that however "cabined, cribbed, con fined," its energies for awhile may be, the light will break in upon us at last. 0:7 CINCINNATI ROWDYISM takes the lead. The Commercial of that city says a gang of young men and boys on Satuaday last as-, sembled in the Presbyterian graveyard, went to the family vault of -Wm. D. Jones, and effected an entrance bv tearing down the" back wall, broke open the coffins deposited' there and took a skull, placed it on the , end of a pole, and using a portion of the bones : as castanets, formed a procession and park ded aronud the streets.
