lid, but the man who confronted Kenneth
—perhaps feeling that his honor was con
cerned; grasped his heavy handspike tight
er, and-raised it with an oath: They were
net a foot-apart. \ The man a strong scwol-
log butevidendy a determined fellow, was
erresised by those behind, and Kenneth,
with his left arm twined around the rope,
4nd his foot on one of the blocks, was ne-
-cessarily draws close to him. He saw
the weapon raiaed, and heard the oath. It
roused the devil in his nature—all the
fierce passions of a Highlander kindled at
the resistance offered to him, atid the jeop
ardy be was in. He put the pistol to the
man's very brow, and cocked it. 'Throw
down that handspike!' he cried, or by the
Gvd above us, I will shoot you through
the head!' The man saw the youth's pale
lips and sparkling eyes, he heard the clear
click orthe pistol—he felt the cold barrel
touching his brow; he was no coward—yet
bis heavy weapon sunk down by his side
—for he felt it was death to hesitate. And
be was [right, for had he not done so—
had he wavered, even for an instant, as
mule as the sea waves were around them,
the pistol would have rang before his eyes,
and a bullet would have sunk into his
brain.
'Now, hold on, men! hold on,' shouted
Kenneth, to his patty, who had watched
the issue of his threat in silence. All this
passed in a few minutes. The ship was
running fast out,of the Firth, dragging the
boat along s ith her. The passen g ers had
no longer, recourse to tilt eats, but 801
showed a determined front at the vessel's
side, while the seainen, who had also
caught the spirit of resistance, kept crowd:
log all sail upon ttte ship. The fficer,
all this while, who knew it was a service
in which no half pay or pensions were al
lowed for broken bones, sat cowering in
,the boat, shivering with terror at the ra
pidity of the I.,otion and the prominent
part which he seemed likely to share in
any measutes of warfare Yet both parties
held their own—the assailants kept their
holti, and the ass.riled their attitude of de •
fence. The ship continued rapidly run
ning out to sea. toe ;notion of the boat be , .
came more - violent, which with the fatigue,
began to relax in some degree the efforts
of the boatmen to hold fast by the vessel.
These, indeed, were now assisted by Ben
Blinker, who, heedless of the fierce glan
ces that opposed him, grasped the thick
black lope over thf , head of one who seem.
ed by frequent looks to the boat and the re , .
ceding shore, to be losing relish lot the
-chase. But the sun was fast sinking, the
passengers becoming mote confident and
more determined in their resistance, the
officer Still remained passive and fixed as
it were to his seat, and Kenneth saw, after
all his efforts the prize passing from his
grasp.
'lt's no use, master, muttered the brown.
faced boatman,' turning round his head,
'we can't get on board the ship.'
'No use, no use,' cried the other three
and the officer together.
'Hold on,' cried Kenneth fiercely, 'hold
ori.--01Ecer, you must spring on board
with me.'
r'No, no; impossible,' cried the officer,
turning J et paler at the proposal; and more
firmly grasping his seat.
'Stand up and hold on,' cried Kenneth.
It's an affair of more than life or death
Stand up, sir, and do your duty, and be
prepared to spring, on board after me.'
'No, no,'cried the officer, trembling both
at his own sit4.tation, and the importunity
of the other.
'lt's no use, sir,---'
( Stand up,' shouted Kenneth, grasping
him by the throat, 'or, by Heaven,
strangle you where you sit.'
The officer was a tall, strong man, with
bone abd muscle that would have comman
ded respect even in a prize ring, but the
instincts of his nature cowered before the
superior courage of the youth who threat
ened him, and, quailing as ho was, lie rose
to obey. But no sooner had he risen from
his seat than the violent motion of the boat
which his former position now made new
to him, caused him to stagger, and tAltieg
excuse in this he sank down main in the
boat. One of the boatmen at the same
moment released his hold, and suddenly
reebmed his seat; the passengers gave a
loud jeering laugh of triumph.
'Maddened at what he saw and heard—
young, bold and active, and with every
feeling now strung to fury, Kenneth des
tetmined to make another effort to regain
the deck, or at least, not to suffer himself
to ba defeated in his object by the apathy
of those around him. W hispering Ben to
keep fast hold he let go his own. and
bending down in the boat, pulled out the
plug, a round piece of wood filling up a
hole b t the bottom for the water to escape
by when the boat ia hauled upon the beach,
and throwing it far over one side, once
more resumed his grasp of the ship.
In rushed the water and up sprang the
officer, while the swing, round faced boat
man, turning his eyes for a moment to the
boat,-twined as it were his brawny arms
round the rope he held, and with a face
pile with sudden fright; shouted in a
voice of thunder. 'Hold on men. for your
lives; the boat is sinking. Hold on like
grim death!' The boat almost instantly
filled with water, and the officer had bare
ly time to grasp the neck of the last speak,.
er when it dipped and sank.
-On still rushed the mighty ship, cleav
ing and whitening the green waves, with
these beings clambering wildly to her side;
the most determined of her passengtrs ap.
pawing unprepared for such an act of des
perate resolution, and standing for a mo•
meet in stupid wonder. 'Faking advan

.4,16 Dancing Societies.—A paragraph
the the N. Y. "Deutsche Schnellpst,"
from a Munich paper, says:—`in this puce
where heretofore dancing has been the (a -
vorite recreation, especially among the
young folks, but little has of late been done
in that line. Our young men have come
to the conclusion that dancing is an
moral amusement, and that tobacco amok
ing and I eer guzzling, and of course their
consequences, aro much more innocent
and creditable. Under this idea, several
'Anti-Dancing Unions' have lately been
formed, and their results were forcibly
brought to my notice the other day, on
seeing a young man in broad day light, stag
ger across ihe street, and fall full length
in the kennel jiiq before me. On raising
him up and asking him where he came
from, he stammered out, with a thick
tongue: "From the—hic!—Anti-Dancing

The Largest Steamer Yet.—The Alba
ny Journal contains an account of a new
boat, to be called the Knicket becker,which
it is intended to ply on the Hudson river.
Her length of keel is three hundred and
eleven feet, width of beam 31 feet, depth
of hold 11 feet. Besides the ordinary
berths, there will be state rooms for more
than two hundred. This magnificent boat
is being built by Isaac Newton, Esq. of
that city. Possibly, his object in building
so large a craft i 3 the same which actuated
Sam Patch when he jumped off Genesee
Falls; merely to let people know ''that
some things can he done as well as others."

DOMESTIC COTTON GOODS—THE FALL i
IN riucEs.
AN INTERESTING STATEMENT.
The revolution which is going on in this court• .
try ana in England,with regard to the cotton mans
ufacture, is indeed extraordinary. The N. Y
Herald gives a list of prices of domestic cotton
goods in Boston, such as brown ahirtings, sheet.
ings, drillings, jean and negro cottons and linseys,
at different periods, by which it seeing that trio
average quotations in Agnst 1939, were_ 13 cents
per ya,d,and in May 1833, 9i cents. The aver
age lowest price in December was 8.600 cents,
while it is now 7 .700 cents. This reduction, ar
gue,, ihe writer, is the true reason of the ability of
New England people to exp irt minntactures.
The raw material. it slivull be recollected, has
fallen at a still gi eater ratio. Thus, in August

and 60 cents a pound, now sells at 3'2 and 33. The

The lettliag Passion ,S7ronz, hi Death.
—When La wr-mcc was lying stretched on
the de:•k of the Chesapeake, mortally
wounded,and the immortal spirit was about
quitting its frail tenement, his list dying
injunction was—'Don't give up the ship.'
\1 hen Bainbridge lay struggling in death,
on th'• bed of sickness, his memory rever
red to the stifling scenes in which he had
many years before bone an active part.—
fie imagined hirusel i I command of a g a l.
lant vessel, surrounded by his officers, in
the eve of an engagement—and summon
ing, all his energies fur a final efforr, he
exclaimed, Call all hands to b oar d th e
enemy !" When Porter. in a foreign land,
was sinking into the grave—his body worn
nut by the exposures and hardsips to which
it had b-en subjected, for a period of many
years, in the service of his country —in his
last moments he directed that his body
should he buried at the foot of the flag
staff. that even after death the glorious
stars an stripes of America might wave
over him.
A Seulptoo:4 Model.
In one of our English Journals we find
recorded the following death of a singular
character—an old man in his 96th year, by
the name of John Ennis, who, it appears,
was considered one of the finest men in
Europe, and had amassed a little indepen-
dence by sitting as a model for all the pin
cipal sculptors and painters of the present
day, foteivi as well as English. He en.
joked excellent health, and wore his beard
nearly to his waist for scriptural subjects.
in which his portrait may be seen at the
Royal Academy, and other institutions.
Not long before his death, Mr Relines,
the scu'ptor, waited upon him, and retries.
ted permission to take a cast of his face for
a bust, but. this he refused. The old gen
tleman, it seems, always purchased his own
provisions, and, a week or two afterwards
he left home one morning for Covent Gar
den Market to purchase vegetables. On
his return, whilst crossing Soho square, he
was for the first time in his life suddenly
attacked with illness, but bore up against it
and managed to walk home. On entering
the place he exclaimed. 'I am struck with
death.' His (laughter desired burn to let
her run for a doctor, but he peremptorily
refused, saying be never had occasion fur
one and never would. In five minutes af
ter he was a corpse. The Coroner and
jury, on viewing the body, expressed their
;admiration of the symmetry ,if the deceased
!person; the beauty of which will be perpet•
uated in countless models both in painting
and sculpture.—Bost. Trans. •
The St Louis Gazette of the 20th says:
—"By a passenger on board the Weston,
we learn that three men_yvere struck down
by lightening at Weston, on Sunday last s
and of them died instantly."
MURDER ON ThE RI t R bRLAWARE.
The Coroner wil engaged daring the greater
part of yesterday, on board of the stoop Peracve
xanee,Captain Warren, at the Rai . road wharf,
Southwark, cx uninine, into tire circumstances of
the death of a hand aboard that vessel, a c4lored
man, about twenty-five years of oge, named
liam Fisher. It appears from the testimony elicit.
ed on the examination, that on Thursday last - the
sloop Perseverance was sent by Captain Warren
in charge of a man named Thomas Hansey, or
Hanser, (who sometimes goes by the name of
Ander,on,) up the river Delaware for a load of
sand. Fisher, the deceased, and a man named
Elihu Ridgway, were employed to go as hands
and a min named John Evans went with them fur
the purpose of getting employment up the river.—
They dropped anchor at Richmond, and Hansey
and Evans went ashore. While they were gone
Fisher took up the anchor arid hoisted sail. :his
was discovered by flansey and Evans who ran to
the shore rind hailed to Fisher to stop. The lat
ter paid no attention to:them, and the vessel pro.
corded up the river. Hansey ran along the
' hank, while Evans got the small boat and at
tempt , dto scull after the sloap. The latter find
ing that he could not overtake her he returned to
Philadelphia and informed I aptain Warrer.—
II insey, in the meantime, after running along the
ha.ik for two or three miles, hired a man to take
him 'o the sloop and got aboard. He made an at
tempt to le' g the anch,r, when Fisher seized him
around the waist to present him. He then picked
up a tLind , pike and heat Fisher with it dreadfully
over the head arid lace, Ile als r struck Ridaway
severiil tun•tv in he scuff's, and the latter subse-
querit'y letl the vessel.
On Friday, I vans was sent tack to the vesse
by Captain Wa• ran, and reached her the same
evetong. -She was ut the time lying near Brides
burg. !Linsey was found Mainz, on the Hatch,
and expressing great satisficCem at seeing Ev
ans, went on to tell of a fight between Fisher and
Ridgway. Fisher was found in his birth. He
came on deck a short tune afteruards without
speaking, and immediately went hack again.—
'l•h it night he rested well. The next morning the
anchor was we g' ed and the vessel procee:ied to
Dontle's Ferry—i id in the course 07 the day the
anehor was again weighed, and toward, evening
droape I at the N. W. Bre ich
Fisher, on Stturday, was bad, an was brought
on deck and his 6tct washed and face bathed, and
some water given to him. The vessel had an
chered at the last place above named in cause ,
(pence och7s increasing illness.
The night grew worse and worse every mo
tile:et, and Eat na .at up with hitn. Towards
midnight Evans fell into a doze and was aroused
by the death ri.t.th's in the injured maws throat.
Hanley was awakened and informed of Fisher's
situation, bat he refused to believe it and contin_
