Dream. some ninety years ago, there flourished in Glasgow a club of young men, which from the extreme prodigary of its mem bers and the licentiousness of their orgies, was commonly called the 11011 Club.— Besides their nightly or weekly meetings, they held .ine - grand anneal Saturnalia, in ;sm hich each tried to excel the other in drnakenness and blasphemy ; and on these occasions there was nu star among them utilise lurid light was more conspieuotis than that or young Archibald 8., who, en dowed with brilliant talents and a hand. softy person, had held out great promise iit his boyhand, and raised hopes which had been cOmpletely frustrated by his sub sequent reckless dissipations. Me morning after returning from the annual festival, Mr. Archibald B. having retired to bed, dreamed the following dream : , tie fancied that he himself was mount ed on a favorite black home, that he al ways rode, and that he was proceeding to ward his own house—then a country seat einhoweted by trees, and situated spun a hill entirely built over, and forming the eity..—when a stranger, whom the darkness) . of night prevented his dis tinctly descrying, suddenly seized his horsisis Mine saving, "you must go with me!' .

But with a cry of agony, she an swered, that there was no rest in hell; they must ever toil on at those very plea sures; and innumerable voices echoed through the interminable vaults, •" there is no rest in hell I " Whilst throwing open their vests, each disclosed in his bosom an ever-burning flame ! These, they said, were the pleasures of hell ; their choice on earth was now their inevitable doom I In the Midst of the horror this scene in spired, his conductor returned, and, at his earnest entreaty, restored him again to earth ; but. as lie quitted him, he said— „ Remember! in a year and dilay we meet again !" At this crisis of his dream the sleeper awoke, feverish and ill; and, whether from the effects of the dream or of his preceding orgies, he wee so unwell as to be obliged i to keep his bed for several days ; during which period lie had time for-many seri ous reflections, which terminated in a res. lotion to abandon the club and his licen tious companions altogether. He was no sooner well, however, than they all flocked around him, bent on re covering so valuable a member of their society ; .and, having wrung from him a confession of the cause of his dejection, which, as may be supposed, appeared to them einineutly ridiculous, they soon con trived to make him ashamed of his good resolutions. Ile jinned them again ; re sumed his former course of life, and when the annual saturnalia came round, he found himself with his glass in hits hand at the table ; when the president, rising to make the accustomed speech. began with saying, •• gentlemen, this being leap-year, it is a year Ind a day since our last anniversary," &c., &c. The words struck upon the young man's ear like a knell ; but asham ed to expose his weakness to the jeers of Ins companions, he sat out the feast ply ing himself with wine even more ltherdlly than usual, in order to drown his obtrusive thoughts : till, in the gloom of a winter's morning, he mounted his horse to ride home. Some hours afterwards. the horse was found, with his saddle and bridle on, quietly grazing by the road-side about half way between the city and Mr. B.'s house; while a few yards off lay the corpse of his master Now, as I have said in introducing this story. it is no fiction ; the circumstances happened as here related.

"Hold a moment," interposed Zed, put ting forth an srin as long as a rail : "I know a Christian cannot fight ; but I belong to a denomination who believe infallingirom grace—and," continued the convert, plant ing his foot more firmly on the earth, and ' towering up like a giant in the moon-light, his arms falling back to en angleoffortv-five degrees, - "if I should fall from grace,' l here he lowered his voice .to a tone of ominous solemity, and sadvanced three paces to wards his retreatedassailants—"lf I should fall from grace, too be to you.

On their arrival at their destination their :mu blew began, and in their march to Lake Tiberias their boats had to he transported over the most formidable mountain gorges anti heights, and to be lowered down pre cipices with ropes. But these difficulties were surmounted with true sailor skill and perseverance, and on the Bth of April, the two Fannies, each with an American en sign flying, were afloat upon the beautiful blue water of the Sea of Galilee. Em blematic of its Master, it alone of all thingi arround them, remained the same. .List as the Apostles saw it when our Saviour said to it, "peace, be still," this little band of rovers now beheld it. • The navigation of the Jordan was found to be the most difficult and dangerous, from its frequent and fearful rapids. Lieut. Lyr,elt solves the secret of the depression between Lake Tiberias and the Dead Sea, by the tortuous course of the Jordan, which, in a distance of sixty miles, winds through a course of two hundred miles. Within this distance Lieut. Lynch and his party plunged down no less than twenty-seven threatening rapids, besides many others of less decent. The difference of level be tween the two Seas, is over a thoustitod feet. The water of Jordan was snobet to with in a few hundred yards of its mouth. The waters of the sea were devoid of smell, but bitter, salt, and nauseous. Upon entering it the boats were encountered by a gale, and “it seemed as if the bows, so dense was the water, were encountering the sledge hammer of the Titans, instead of the opposing waves of an angry sea." The party proceeded daily with their explorations, making topograpical sketches as they went, until they reached the South ern extremity of the sea, where the most wonderful sight that they had ybt seen a waited them. "In passing the mountain of Ozdom, (Sodom,) we unexpectedly and much to our astonishment, says Lieot. Lynch, "saw a large, rounded, turret-shaped col umn, facing towards S. E., which proved to be ofsolid rock salt, capped with carbon ate of lime ; one mass of chrystalization. Mr. Dale took a sketch of it, and Dr. An derson and I landed with much difficulty and priteured specidienit front it." The party circumnavigated the lake, returned to the place of their departure, and brought back their boats in as com-, plete order'as they bid received them at New York. They were all in fine health. This is a specimen of the skill, system and discipline of the American Navy. No na tion in the world has Stich a Service.

SIR : In reply to your letter of this day's date, requiring information as to the truth of a statement published in the Globe newspaper, of a sea serpent of extraordi nary dimensions having been seen from her majesty's "ship Dtedaltis, under my command, on her passage from the East Indies, I have the Inittor to acquaint you, for the information of my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, that at 5 o'clock P. M. on the 6th of August last, in latitude 24 deg. 44 min. S., and longitude 9 deg. 22 min. E., the weather dark and cloudy, wind fresh from the N. %V., with a long ocean swell from the 8. W., the ship on the port tack heading N. E. by N.. some thing very unusual was seen by Mr. Sar toris, midshipman, rapidly approaching the ship from before the beam. The cir cumstance was immelately reported by him to the officer of the watch, Lieutenant Edgar Drummond, with whom, and Mr. Wm. Barrett, the master, I wag at the time walking the quarter-deck. The ship's company were at supper. On our attention being called to the ob ject, itstvas discovered to be an enormous serpent, with head and shoulders kept a bout four feet constantly above the surface of the sea, and as nearly as we could sp. proximate, by comparing it with the length of what our maintopsail yard would show in the water, there was at least sixty feet of the animal a /hut (Pewi t no portion of which was, to our perception, used in pro• palling it through the water, either by ver• tical or horizontal undulation. It passed rapidly, but so close under our lee quarter, that, had it been a man of my acquaintance, I should easily recognised his features with the naked eye ; and it did not, either in approaching the ship or after it had passed the wake, deviate in the slightest degree from its course to the S. IV., which it held on at the pace of horn 12 to 15 miles an hour, apparently on some determined purpose. The diameter of the serpent was shout 15 or 10 inches behind the head, which was, without any doubt, that oil snake ; and never, during the twenty minutes that it continued in sight of our glasses, was , below the surface of the water; its color a dark brown. with yellowish white about, the throat. It had no' fine, but something like the mane of a horse, or rather a bunch ofsea-weed.washed upon its bark. It wa s semi by, the quartermaster. the boatswain's mate, and the man at the wheel, in addl. lion to myself and officers above mention. I am having a drawing of the serpent made frein a sketch taken untnediatly after it was seen. which I .hope to have neatly for transmission to my Louie commis sioners of the Admiralty by to-morrow's I have, &a.
