George AugustUs Bala, editor of Temple Bar, and author of an armful of books upon' all subjects—readable books, too, if sometimes .rather flimsy in material—came over to this country, last fall, as ." Special Correspondent" of the Daily Telegrap4, an enterprising, well-written, unscrupu lous, out-and-out organ of the sympathizing party in England, and of the Secession party in America. We have often won dered why this Telegraph., aiming at being the rival of The Times, should have taken up the policy of The Times as regards this country, particularly as the sentiment of the &lash people, of the masses, as distin- guished from the British aristocracy, who are the . few, has been, from the first, un- equivocally against slavery. Perhaps,the Rothsebild influence, known to operate on The Time; has also been brought to bear on the Daily Telegraph. Mr. Sala's letters from this country are desultory and 'entertaining, crowded with platitudes and paradoxes, diffuse and chatty, showing more experience in than know ledge of the world; exhibiting a refresfiing verdancy as to this country and its people, and manifesting a veryamusing ignorance of war in general and particularly of war in the 'United States. There is a great deal of gas in them, and surprisingly little informs. : tion. Now, Dr. "Russell, when he wrote about the war, treated •of a subject with which his e:speriettee in the Crtmes, and n India had made him familiar. There- fore, he Made no mistakes, though he some- times was one-sided ilnd unfair in his re flections, and blundered in his accounts of battles which. he had not. seen. Mr Sala, in the early part of his sojourn here, chiefly exercised' his pen and his powers upon two subjecti—the high charges at the Brevoort House, where he stopped, and the various hospitalities-of-New Year's day in New York, wtdeb,'judging by the man- ner in which he wrote about them, must have affected him in.the usual manner. Perhaps it has never occurred to Mr. Bala that the Daily: Telegraph people started him off to this country for the purpose of becoming a rival to " Manhattan," the ly- ing correspondent of, the Standard, com monly known as . the - M - rs. Gamp of the London press. If so, it was unfair to Mr. Sala, who lea man of - genius, while "Man- hattan" was simply-an ignorant, bouncea ble, sordid osercenerY_ Mr. Sala took a trip to :Mexico, where he did not likelis entertainment; in fact, we understand the French Officer in command intimated that his room would be prefera- ble to his company there, and he has not yet finished his description of the . voyage. The last of these .letterswhich we have seen is in the DaiVg' Tede.:qraph of July 20, and shows " Our -Special Correspondent," on board a steamboat front Havana, -near- ing Vera Cruz; after a - -pleasant voyage. Here, as we desire to. exhibit how pleasant ly he can write about nothing, are his re flections upon. being•at. sea : ' , Pray tell me whether yonknow anyplace besides the sea where you can eat four meals a day, to say nothing of to oiled bones or anchovy toast as a re lish to your nightcap - before turning in, and enjoy them ; where you may drink a moderate allow ance of grog without' dreading a headache the next intoning ; where there le no postman to bring your letters, no newsboy toiling your daily journal down • your area ; where younre safe tYom your advisers, and beyond the reach of your mother-in-law—l have known great numbers of people, but I never knew a man to take his motheirdn-law to sea with him;- where it doesn't matter a farthing token whether the Ltheraleva out orAtte Tories are. in ;• What IS the price of colisols, or what Kr.

Here is a ,sly evidently at one of Queen Victoria's sons, at which many English readers, sitting round Cockney tea-tables, doubtless will shudder, with a turning-up of their eyes in loyal horror: "The most miserable person I ever saw aboard ship, rot being a victim toisausea, was the eon of a mighty monarch. His exalted rank prevented him, of course, from mingling with the other pas engem ; he was hedged round by tutors and go vernors, who wore under strict orders not to allow hie Ellehness to smoke ; he was not even permitted to enjoy the society of his species at the public table, and two state•rooms had hten knocked Into one to form a dining-room for him ; there was no .body on board with a handle to his name whom he could ask to Mutter. The poor lad must have had a eyeful time of it. When became on deck to take the air, he used to sit aloof, looking very like a sick Monkey. What would he not have ;given to be al lowed to smoke a coloreds clam, to indulge in t wen ty,minutes, skylarking, and ,to pitch his tutors and governors overboard 1 ,, Here we may introduce a bit of the par ticular humor, which has made Mr. Sala a favorite with the immense class in Eng land who take up the newspaper merely to be amused " One diecontented spirit there certainly was on board the Conway. He was a Frenchman, and a very eleyer Frenchman to boot ; but he was an inveterate grumbler. Of course with such a band of sympathy between us, the foreign gentleman and your Commissioner swore eternal friendship, and • grumbled in unhon. He had an idea that the sa loon stewards on board—who were mostly bright mulattoes from the British West India Islands— despised him because he was an alien. Yen I ask him for ye mestarde, , he complained to me,' zey turn to one slde, and say, Darn French. , Yen I call more beeftake I hear him vlsper to ze ozer eboundrel, Vat for 'he want more meat, ze dam French 1' Ce sont des miserables,. Monsieur 17Y stateni ma patrie.' Ons the subject of the skiving accommodation on board the Conway, he was, if poseibfe, more bitter.' ' You eve hear,' he would ask me, of re Pirarttri.--ordn nave been told of ces horrtb/es wansardes sous les toils at Venice, in the Duggy's Palace.

Deus interim" ma foi, c'est d mourir d'asphpie. , Our readers will probably agree with us that, in such writing as this, a very little humor can be manikged so as to go a great way. Like most Englishmen, Mr. S. has a good deal to say about cooking. His idea of pepperpot" is tdo grand to be omitted : Byremember what a Moat of gratulation broke frerri ua when, 'On a certain Thursday, the head steward annionced that there would se pepperpot t.comer row. Pepperpot I Aha I Do you know what it is i Take of the flesh of sheep and oxen, and goats, and of the fowls of the air, and of venison and game ; and. aa a baste or stock, use plenty of caasarup, watch is the inspiscated juice of the maniocs end simmer the whole down with chiles and otheri het Ppieee. Simmer it for days. dimmer it fi.r y ears. l' he brave old calabash we had for our peppe , porin tic Ounwe , y was as old, I daresay, as the ship% bell—that brazen tooth from wtich you can te.IL Ler age. I should not wonder if it had served some wealthy 'West Indian planter locg pre vim to the Lmancipaon At, came original ly from Congo, where t it had o been and used la the rays terious rites of °berth.- They do say that a plump negru baby is a moat succulent addition to this most dainty dish, All la flesh that comes to the Sala bash." Mr. Sala confesses that the SPaniards on board were very abstentious ; "the English ate tremendously. It is quite a mistake," he says, "to suppose that the heat of the tropics takes away your appetite, or that something light and cool—cold lamb and salad, for instance, or corned beef and beet , root—are the best fare you can have for dinner. I have a distinct recollection of the mighty consumption of rump steaks, mutton chops, curried rabbit, and eggs and bacon, at the captain's end of the table.on board the Conway." And,he adds : Curry and pepperpot, and the, thermometer as high se the premium on gold in-the States ;:ay. and Doff Gordon's sherry at dinner 'and chanips;gnis— .. which, for all its deceptive Mein% is a lay - heating wine -- .and brandy pawnee at night ' for thirthasting of Aweeftearte 'arid wives. And' all thtrewhile tbe :TrugeliDons took nothing but coffee, or a:little:thin "Vatedan wine ! much Minted. Never llyed there PO reckless a race as these Anglo•Sazons. They are beliy gods,' wrote an Italian traveller in Hindos tan. They cram themselves until they burst. The ilindoo lives on rise and vegetables; but the English India—what do they dot They eat a sheep at breakfast; they eat a. bullock et dinner; they drink a barrel of brandy; and, then they say 'Ohl we are RI ; , and the English doctors give them a pound of calomel. And ;then they eat more sheep and bullocks, and drink more brandy. and die; and the climate—the Innocent climate—bas to =mew it all.'" As Mal, Mr. Sala has a few hits at the Americans. He complains that he found them uncourteeus, which he did not mind, and says : "But for all this their tacitur— nity puzzles me. Were they 'as sulky before the war ? Tell us, Mr. Trollope--- tell us, Mr. Dicey. I ask because the ma joiity of Americans I have met in Europe were garrulous enough to talk the leg off an iron pot." We have before us, in the.Dagy TeEe graph of July 2Gth, (and hereby thank a worthy Ynglish sojourner here for the use of his file of newspapers,) Sala's ex perience and impressions of the celebration of the Fourth of July in New York. It is amusing and extravagantl—a view of a peCuliar celebration through the minify ing end of a Cockney telescope. We in tend noticing if some_ day next week. Tennyson's "Specimen of a Translation of lUe:lliod." Those who have read Mr. Matthew Ar nold's lectures relating to the translation of Homer will remember some criticise:LC.l:m the qualifications of Mr. Tennysonfor such an enterprise, in which the writer denies to Tennyson the quality of simplicity in the sense ill which it is, attributed to Ho mer. When these lectures were written, we are not - aware that any attempt atra_ trans lation of - Homer had been made or, at any rate, had been publicly made, by Mr. Tenny son. But in his last volume there occurs a beautiful "Specimen of a Translation of the Iliad in Blank Verse." It has the merit of simplicity and also of a wonderful close ness to the original. Twenty lines of Ho mer are rendered in twenty-iwo lines of faultless English verse,with a literal fidelity to the meaning of the original words, whiCh could hardly be surpassed in the plainest prose. This "specimen" is the more interesting from the fact that it in cludes the famous, moonlight scene passage, from the Iliad, so well known in PoPe's version of it. We 'dive both translations below. The passage is found, in the origi nal, at the end of the eighth book of the Iliad, lines 554, 562: TRIVNTSOW. "Many o, fire before them blazed; As when in Leaven the stars about the moon Look beautiful when all the winds are laid, And every height comes out, and jutting peak -And valley, and the immeasurable heavens Break open to their blithest, and all the atm% Shine, and the Shepherd gladdens in his heart; So many a fire between the chips aniistream 01 Xant hue blazed before the towers of. Troy. d thousand on the plain." • " And beamlng fires Illumined all the ground. As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night I O'er heaven's clear azure spreads nersacred ll,ght, When not-a breath disturbs the deep serene, And not cloud o'ercasts the solemn scene; Around her throne the vivid planets roll, And stare unnumbered gad tee glowing pole,' O'er the earls trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain's head; Then shine the vales, the rocks In prospect rlseq , A flood nf glory bursts from all the skies ;p The 00118Ci0738 WAELLDI3, rejoicing in the sight, Eye the blue vault, and We , s the useful light; So many flames before proud Ilion blase, ' And lighten glimmering Nautilus with their rays ; The long reflections of the distant tires • - Gleam on the wails and tremble on the spires. A thousand piles the.dusky horrors gild, -• And Shoot a shady lustre o'er the field.'_', These lines by. Pope are sonorous and have their own merit ; but their merit is 'Wither simplicity nor truth to nature nor fidelity to the original. Wordsworth, in sp4king of the period of English poetry. between the appearance of Paradise Lost and Thompson's Seasons, says : " To what a low state knowledge of the most obvious and important phenomena had sunk, is evi dent from the style in which Dryden has executed a description of nights in one of his tragedies .(The Indian Emperor), and. Pope in his translation of the celebrated moonlight scene in the Marl., in thehabit of "-attending accurately to de scriptions casually dropped from the lips of those around him, might easily depict these appearances with more truth. Dryden's lines are vague, bombastic, and senseless ; those of Pope, though he had Homer to guide him, are throughout false and con tradictory. —The verses of Dryden, once_ highly celebrated, are forgotten ; those of Pope still retain their hold upon public estimation—nay, there is not a passage of descriptive poetry, which at this day rinds so many and such ardent admirers. Strange to think of an , enthusiast, as may have been the case with thousands, reciting those verses under the cape of a moonlight sky, without having his raptures in the - least disturbed by a suspicion of their absurdity." If we do not mistake, there is one par ticular in which both of the translations above quoted are at variance with nature, viz in representing a night which is-illu minated by a full moon, and which, at the same time, shows all the stars and the depths of the heavens with especial clear ness. Whereas, it is obvious that, in point of fact, when the moon shines in. full bril liancy, there is such a veil of light drawn over the blue of the sky as to render the stars somewhat obscure, and that on such a night the " immeasurable heavens" do not-reveal their depths and "break open to to their highest." But it is interesting to find, on turning to the origirial, this apparent inaccuracy is not the 'fault of the translators, nor is it attributable to. Homer. The only passage 'which con veys the idea that the light of the moon is especially brilliant, is the one included in the fourth, fifth, and sixth of Tennyson's lines—as far as the word "highest." • This, in the original, as now printed, is enclosed in brackets, as indicating a passage which is :`corrupt, spurious, or misplaced, But the same lines are found, evidently in their proper place, in the sixteenth book Of the Iliad, lines 209 and 800, where they are beautiful and have reference (as we understand them-) to the'sweeping away of a thick cloud from the face of the sky. Leaving these lines out, there is nothing in the passage above translated which presents the image of a full or -especially brilliant moon. It lends additional beauty to the scene to introduce the moon. But it is in troduced only as one among many lights, and the force of the simile consists mainly in the picture of the vast number and the brightness of the heavenly bodies. Were the moon full or nearly so, the. eye would cease to remark either the number of the stars or their brilliancy.—Boslon Advertiser. An Artist'is yite in Borne: Our artiste, especially those . of the' • gentbiktirkx, will be interested in this acenint of Barbara Churchill's life as an artist in Rome. It is from. Bliss Edwards' admirable novel, "Barbara's His tory : • " In Rome the artist feels impelled to stapfOrever and beat rest. Eta - him, other cities lose their old attractions; modern art, progress, personal ambi tion, cease alike to be of importance in his eyes; effort and emulation pain from him like mere dreams; 'he walks amid alt orld of art in ruins,' and would lain loiter away the remainder of his days among the wrecks of this antique world. Nor. does he even_ feel that a life thus anent were nn- • worthy of the allius that is in him. Self-forgetting, reverential a sorbed, he stands In the presence of the ITrunsfiguration , lite a mortal be.fore the gtds. II ever be chances to look back Upon his' rimer avdrations, it is with a sense of inferiority that la nilther humiliation nor envy, nor despair ; • but only lassitude of spirit, and the willing homage of the soul. Thus be comes L 9 lire more ill the past than the present, more in the ideal than the real. 'I bus, too, all that is not Rome grrtilually loosens its bold upon his heart and hie imagination. He feels that certain statues arid pietures are henceforth necessary to him, and that pertain ruins have ba scule almost a p art of hilibeing. He could scarce. ly lire away from the Vatican, or the Campidoglio, or the sweet vid face of Beatrice Cenci lu the Bar r•ei int palace; and not to be within reach of Cara- Baths, or the solemn corridors of the Oolos ;cum, would be exile unbearable. In this mood, he sillier a the years to go by unheeded, and voltuiteri blots his name from the book of the Future • for art is to bum a religion, and be, like a monastic dove ' ee, Is content to subatitete worship for work. But tor the strong tie binding Me to the present, and but for that lave which had of late become more to MO than art or lame, I should h€ve yielded ut terly to the influences of the place.

Sometimes, when the morning was: et or dull, we peered, a few pleasant hours in - the studios of the Via alarguttai - where the artists: • most do congregate,' or ' loitered our time away among the. curiosity shops of the Via Condotti. Later in.the.day, our horses were brought round, and we rode or drove beyond the walls, towards Au. temme or Veil ; or along the meadows behind the Vatican ; or out by the Fountain of Egeria, in sight of those ruined aqueducts whioh- thread the brown wastes of the Campagna, like a funeral procession turned to atone. _Then, when_ evening came, eto piled the loge upon the hearth and read aloud by turns ;or finished the morning sketches. Now and then,if it were_moonlight, we went out 'again ; and sometimes, though seldom, dropped in OIL hour - at the opera, or the Theatre aletestaalo. • ! pleasant morning 'of youth, when: these things made the earnest business of oar lives; when the choice of a bronze or a o ameo ()coupled our thoughts for halfaday,„and the purchase of a mosaley .was matter for our gravest consideration; when the TEseeht g of a. poem made us sad, or the sight of a palnting'oulekehed the beating of our hearts, or the finding of some worthless relic- tilled us 'with de light! • We could not then conceive that we should ever_know more serious cares than these, or take half .the Interest, in Ilylngnten and women that we :took-in'the Seiplos'and Setvilli of old.

'Mrs. Margaret Leonard, who was recently re. leased from Castle Thunder and lett Richmond on the 12th instant for her home in Boston, makes the following statement of the circumstances attending her capture, her treatment while in.the rebel lines, and her experience in other respects : My husband, Newton Leonard, volunteered, in January last, in the 2d Massachusetts Heavy Artil lery. When his company was ordered to the seat of war, Freoeired permission to go with his oomPany as laundress. The regiment first went to Norfolk, Virginia, and feom*thenee was ordered to Plymouth, North Carolina. This place was captured on the 20th of April by the rebels, with all that was in it; including my trunks, over which the rebels and our own men had a quarrel for the posses sion, but the rebels got them. The rebels gave me nothing balk, nut even a hat for my head.' I had nothing only what was on my back. They seized all the money, goods, and everything else they could take Irons our men.• There were a gcod many wounded at Ply mouth after the• battle, and they left me there tour weeks irs the hospital as a nurse. At the end of that time I was taken to Anderson. .vile, Ga., in box cart. They kept me ten days there and treated me kindly. My husband was al lowed to visit me every day. This was the- only place at which they showed me any kindness. At the end of ten days they, took me to Riehmond and lodged me In Castle Thunder. I arrived fit Rich mond the 9th of June and remainedthere until the 12th of August. All the rations the prisoners have - in Castle Thunder .are corn - bread and water and rotten bacon. They have. not half. enough to eat. For the test five weeka they gaveMe no soap, not so much as would wash my hands. They keep what they call deserters, spies and Yankee bushwhack eta in Castle Thunder. There are not many prison ers nos in Richmond ; but there' are twenty-seven thousand at Andersonville and lilacon, Georgia, and they are 'dying very' fast of scurvy, chronic , diarrhoea, anddropsy. Tf they. are not soon released there will not be many left to release. While I was at Ana ereonville I saw them burying OUT prisoners every day.' There are no prisoners now at Belle Isle, and very few in the other Richmond prisons. There were only two other prisoners . in the female department of the Castle with me. We lied mat. tresses of straw to sleep on. Dr. Lugo is confined to a eel), and the rebels say he is a spy, and la going to belrong. 'They used to put him in a Deli at night . and lithim out in the daytime, bat now they keep bins there night and day. Col. Fry has a ball and chain fastened to him, be. pause they have tr.:suspicion that he was a spy. .We could hear Grant's cannon at Petersburg every day. We used to get the Richmond Examiner every day, and read -in it that Grant was dead. The rebels thought he was for about a fortnight. The people of Richmond have nothing to eat but corn bread and bacon. The rebel officers at Castle Thunder have only the same and some vegetables they get out of a gaiden they have t here. 0/187EL G.eatUul..Mo.-11.18 place, where the Pope is at the present moment staying, Is situate at eleven miles from Rume, and allies the reign of Urbain VIII. has been the favorite country rest-_', dence of the Pontiffs. Prom the elevation of the site the air is excellent, and the view of the Medi terranean extends from the Circe promontory to Olvita Vecchia. The lake Is celebrated in Roman history; Plutarch gives details of the piercing of Mount Albano for obtaining a supply of its waters, and the Roman aqueGuct may still be seen intact alter a lapse of two thousand years. Domitian had naval battles represented on the lake, and added the sumptuous villa which now belongs to the Bar. bruin! family. Gonna/Moe is believed to have }liven the lake to the Church of . St. John the aptist, which ha had erected at Albano. A. pleasant villa 'seems to have existed titers ° in the middle ages fur the Emperors when they came to Rome. • Later, the chronicles mention a fortress, An Ganoulphi, on the shores Cl the lake. A family ot that name existed in Rome in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. An Ott; Gandolphe was sena tor ot Borne in 1123. The 'fortress afterwards be, came the property of Savelli; the lake then belonged to the Abbey of Grottaferrata. The celebrated Car dinal Mersarota built the town of Castel Gandolfo with the remains of ancient Alba. Pins II:, in his commentaries ' speaks with admiration of the pano rama 05 Castel Gandolfo, of which the lOU, in the form of an amphitheatre, formed an enchanting spectacle. Sixtus V. raised Castel Gandolfo into a duchy for Bernardin Savelli. the Apostolic Cham ber having paid 150 000 crowns to the creditors of that family. Clement by the copal& torial decree of 1601, incorporated Castel Gan dolfo with the temporal demesne of the Holy See, and included it expressly in the bull of Pins V. de non Weudanas Donis Ecclestz.. Nothing shows that Clement VIII, ever though,. of Castel Gandolfo as a country seat. Paul V....wh0 rent:lend the country more salubrious by draining the Lake of Tome, had the celebrated Villa Mon dragone erected at Frascati. It was reserved fur Urbaln Vlll. to definitely choose Castel Gandolfo. Be had the place built and the garden laid out, and opened the shady roads which lead to Albano and the convent of the Uapuntnes. He went there every year, and a large number of his bulls are dated from that place; among others, tile bull for the erection of the Vatican College. Alexander V. enlarged and completed the Pontifical Palace, constructed the ex ' tenor wall es a defence, and built the parish church dedicated to St. Thomas of Villeneuve. Clement XI , jionediet XIV., and .Clement seen showed a special predilection for Caged Gandolfo, which rest deuce was also recommended to them by their phy elcians. In 1802. the Apostolic Chamber sold the lake to Prince POnlatowski. The macre, as is well known, contain excellent eels.—GolignanPs Mee sen ,er. TICE REMATIIIB Or Ali IRISH ELlC.—Portions of four skeletons of the above extinct animal have, within the last few days, been exhumed in the im mediate neighborhood of Banbridgl Ireland.

Seven miles from Berryville we passed an old gentleman in a carriage, who as sured us that the ?mate was clear; Halt a milltbb yonileoldier in Confederate uniform, watr-Aeels wal quietly along therein', withhislackethurig upo arm. He bowed respeotfullyas. we passed, but I moved on more quietly and cautiously. Sud denly, from out oL the oak woods, a squad of horse- - men, unmistakably -gray; appeared before me. 'Who are soul—and where are you _going pl said the Captain. I told him who I was, which saved him the ;necessity of.pmesing any questions as to n here I vigis going. They led me away into the woods, warning Inc not toapeak alodd, except when gees- Mined. , We rode quietly for a short distance, when one tiding by my side asked the time of day, and kindly proposed to take chargiof my watch for me. 1 handed it to him without reluotance, simply ask ing him to take good carepf U. • " Your. pooket book, too," said he; " those follows will steal it (pointing to the gray backs about him) if you don't." "Certainly," said 1, and handed him my pocket boolr, "Haveseumo more greenbacks'!" said he. I assured film be had them all. Whereto will all this kindness grow, thought I, as my-eyes fell upon a picket , rope, strapped up with a coat, behind the Saddle of.eme ofthem.' Another came up and kindly offered toll ake care of my breastpin for me.- I told bite I thought it would - be safe, but ho immured me that it wouldn't, and I accepted his kindness.

A.Perilous Trip. "tuff - Brim TEE RAPIDS OP TUB ST. LAIVREISCR IN 41. Eutivp. The Prescott (Canada) Telegraph has the following account of a hazardous exploit : "During the latter part of July two men, named Violet Jones, of 'the - Pus!leer Guards, and Robert Weledi, , of Mr. Barker's exchange office, Prescott, left here on a trip to Montreal; intending to ran the rapids of the St. Lawrence.* They started in a lapstreak .skiff, twenty-one beet long, three feet ser. inches beam, and carried with them two pairs of oars, a sail and a tent, with the necessary I cooking apparatus, aut., for camp life. . They sae-• ! ceeded in running - the Gallops, Rapid du Plat, and ' the north channel of .the Lung Sault as far as the point the Same evening. Being afraid to venture the remainder of the •ellannel, they carried their boat and traps.across the island to the head of the South . -Channel, but the darbellages was so intense that they considered • discretiorithrThetter part of valor,' and they camped on the island alt-night. The following -morning, they '.packed': up their duds,' and made' another and this time,. sucoessful. attempt, accom panied ! by .the cheers of about twenty people who had congregated upon the shore. The peril of the undertaking Will be betterunderatood when we state that the swells.waahed over the boat, half tilltng with water, one of whieh.struck the man at the oars (Welch) in the .fhco, almost depriving him of his breath. They then ran to AegansbUrg, whore they laid over-a day. *: • ' Next morning the Coteatt-Rapids were passed in beautiful style, and . they aeon-reached the,Oca_ . dars, the most splendid, rapid of the whole lot to ran.' The Slit Rock nerly finished our-adventur ers. 'Being unacquainted with'.the channel, they took the north shore, and when only about one hull dretLyarda off, in a very swift current, they saw 'ahead graham a tall of about seven rect. By hard pullivg and good steering, howerer, they succeeded •in making the Old Look,' on the 'north side, when an can broke, fortunately just as they were within :reach oft the lock. They here struck an eddy and went back to the head, when a passing raft pointed Oat theePannel. and amid some; good swells they , " Then came the Cascades. flare they were ad vised bye gentleman whom they met not to attempt to run them, Bathe Cascades had never been ran by anything entailer than a batteart, and he w as sure they • would be drowned. Notwithstanding. this they determined .to . proceed,_ and were anxiously watched In their perilous journey fly the gentleman above spoken of, The first pitch was passed safely ;* at the second: however, the boat went down, an s truck—whether, the bottom or a rock they could not, ot course, say. She, however, raised, they supposed by the force of the current, although filled with wa ter, and was carried about thirty yards to a friendly rock. The moment they struck still water the boat £ , upk. The rock before spoken of, however was near, and, though small;here they bailed oat ' their boat and prepared to start again. Mounted on this lonely rock they took ,a . view of the 'situation,' be. trig anxiously dealrous . to 'change their base' but no assistance could there reach them, and noiens miens, they bad to take to-their boat again. A point ahead was selected, and they determined if the boat should swamp in the rapids ahead, they would stick to her as long as she wits kept up by the cur rent and their lustily-plied oars, and then abandon ing her swim for the point. Altlitugh badly tossed, however, she still kept up, and, about half filled with water, bravely she came out of this latter peril. They reached the point. bailed their boat, hoisted sail. and started across Lake St. Peter, seachlng the Nun's Island that night, where they camped. This was a good day's work. Seven rapids, large and small, were passed, and two lakes, melting a distance of about seventy miles ; and. although wet to the skin,' they slept soundly, reeling _thankful, it is to be hoped, to a bountiful Providence, to whose pro tective hand they, in a peculiar manner, this day owed their lives. The next morning they reached Caugbnawaga, and were here strongly advised by a gentleman from the Montreal Telegraph and others against attempting this now danger. But they had passed through so many perils safely they had no notion of quitting their sell-imposed task until they had ocinpleted it. :They aocordingly did run the Lachine Rapid. and ran it safely and without ad venture, thus making the entire trip from Prescott to Montreal -in a Skiff of one hundred pounds weight, with about five hundred and twelve pounds load, including baggage, their own weight, etc. "Jall'the rapids were run at cm first. The reason for this Islthitt a better brace may be obtained with the oars in this positlon—the bolt being at the cam plete command of the man at the oars, who, besides, goes down facing the danger.
