ladfor some years bestowed their pa ron
lige,. semi-annually, during court-week,
, uPot“he Union. Hotel, of Tallnpoosn, was
'Captain Simon Suggs,whose deeds of
val
or and of strategy are not unknoWn to the
public. • The . Captain had "put up" there

'P . f,'the microcosm that bears the name of
'Mtor—rnid, 'in short,' was so ' cretierallY
useful, accommodating,' and polis, that
nothing short of long-continued and -nft-re
peated failures to settle his
,liills, could,have
induced mine' host to consider Suggs, in
any oiler light than as the best frit - na the
"Union" or, any other house ever had.—
Bid alas! Captain Suggs had,frem one oc
casion, to nraither, upon excuses the most
plausible, andlvith .protestations of regret
the. most profound, invariably left the lilt
larder and warm beds of the "Union" wi:h
ont leaving behind the sli,, , litet pecuniary
remuneration. For a long time 'the pa
tient inn-keeper bore the imposi ion wi.h i
patience that indicated some hope of even
turd payment ; But year in.and year out,
and the money did not come. Mrs. Den

her husband, and argued the necessity of d
a tziVerit-keeper's collecting his dues, if ho

"Suggs is a nice,man in his talk," she
said; "nobody can fault him, as far as that's'
concerned . ; bUt smooth talk never paid for
tour and bacon ;" and so she recommend
ed to her leaner hall that the "next time"
summary measures should be adopted to
.• secure the amount in which the Captain
was indebted to the "Union Hotel."

The Centrihntions to . knc,wledge
ed throughtt he instrum( v of United
States navel forces ere 1416 , ;trifle( ieted
and warmly tick nowledg«l by the sc4ras '
of Europe. A writer in the last number I
oldie North British review expresses the !
opinicn that Lieut. Lynch deserves, rind
the hope that he will obtain, the gold med
al of the British Reyal Ceograillical
duty, for his discoveries in the Holy Loud,
white conducting the expedi:ion de spateh- ,
ed to Palestine in the Supply. The slime;
writer elm ractelfze , ( the enterprite as,
praiseworthy and liberal, in every vny
most creditable to the United States gov,
ernine nt, r rid emit acting advantageously ,
well the "unutterable enc.:unless" ()Hite
British government in similar ma Hers.—
This seems a harsh stigma en his own
country from a writer apparently not giv
en [(reprobation, but candid and sensible;
especially when we hear in mind the sac
rifice of and property hereto'Ore incur
red, and witness the undiminished energy
and persevering toil still exhibited in at.
tempts to discover a northern passage to
the Indies. Nor, in thisconnexion, should
we overlook the coast surveys, prosecuted I
undrr the direction of the British admiral
ty along every shore, whose results accu
rately end minutely presented on well en
graved charts, accessible to navigators of
every country, indicate to the mariner the
peril to be shunned and the refuge to be
sought, and develop information which
multiplies wealth, and diminishes the haz
ard attendant on.its pursuit.
That portion of Lieut. Lynch's explora
tion which is of chief value .& importance,
relates to the river Jordan, between the
lake of Tiberias and the Dead Sea. Only
one European,l4,eYer performed the pas
sage down the EiVcir from sea to sea be
fore it was explored by the American, end
he, Lieut. Molyneux, of the British ship
Spartan, like our own lamented Dale, on
happily fell a victim to the climate, and
died before he had an opportunity of,im
parting to the public the fruits of his ob
servations. The foresight evinced by
Lieutenant Lynch in the equipment of his
expedition, was signally vindicated by the
perfect adaptation of his boats to the navi
gation of the Jordan. These, two in num
ber, had been constructed at home, one of
copper and the other of galvanized iron.—
They were built in sections, so as to be
taken to rieces if necessary lint transporta
tion over, land. Willi the view, however,
of transporting them entire, if practicable,
b ou t carriag es w( provided wi.lr, as was
supposed, t he requisite htuness for b rses.
