Oregon dispute, and as nearly all the opposition peper are croak ing about the terrible devaatatioo which wilt be made by John Dull, from one end of the coast to the other, it would not be irrelevant at this time to recall aome of the reminiscences of the laat war of 1812. " Many of the events of that period may never have been known to the grea ter part of the present generation,' and those who survived that struggle may probably have forgotten' tfie'ni."' ' ' " ",v". ; ' ""' ' v The great cry now is, that' we are not pre pared lor a contest with the greasiest naval power in the world ; and such woe also tho cry in 1312 , the party then . opposed to that was wishing its to wait until we should have ships enough to cope with the Navy of Great Britain. II we had done so, we should have continued lo be the object of the insolence of that nation, not only to this day, but probably for centuries to come. , At that time every opprobrious epi thet was bftstownd upon us by the press of Eng. land in the esme manner as it is now done ; it was said that 'the Yankees could not be kicked into a war,' and even Canning expressed his contempt for our 'half dozen fir built (rigatea with a few yards of striped bunting at their masts head,' which fir frigates' and our whole commercial marine were, according to his opin ion, to be swept immediately from the ocean; but before that war ol only two and a half years wss over, John Bull discovered his mistake, aa will be seen by the following documents, one of which, giving an account among many meet ings held in various parts of the kingdom, on the Ftihject of the captures of British vessels by American privateers, was called by the Lord Provost of Glasgow. , Thieiaa rich document and ppaks for itself. The next is an extract from Sir Charles fiapier's speech delivered in the House ol Commons, which proves that their Lnrdfhips of the Admiralty issued en order to all the commanders of British frigates to run away from one of these fir built frigatea cf ours, whenever she should be met with. ' The re maining' documents show, that in that short wsr we took Irom John Bull 2260 morchant vessels and 62 national ships, his Navy at that time being as follows: ' ' v' ' 1 In commission, vessels of all classes, 683 Vessels building, " - 71) Vessels in ordinary, i' '215 As soon as John saw that we attacked bis more vital parts his commerce and were in a fair way of 'nweepinj it from the ocean,' and that too with only 240 vessels -of war, most of which were privateers, he waved his 'tine qua non,' and made the peace of Ghent. ' If in those day we could do the prodigious harm to Eng land which we certainly 'did, and compelling hbr to seek that peace, how immeasurably more could we injure her now, 'with a double popula tion, greater wealth, greater resources, and hundreds of the finest eliips in the world, which could be turned into powerful privateers in one month's time .

Sic, at Liverpool, to consider of a represents tton of Government on the subject of the numer ous capture made by American cruisers, Mr. Ghulktona proposed an address to t ha Lords of the Admiralty; but aiter many severe observa tions that representations had been made to that department, without redress, Mr.Clesr pro posed an address to the Prince Regent,' which alter warm opposition on the part of Mr. Glad-' stone, was earried. The' address conveya a censure upon the Admiralty. ' Subsequently, its counter address to the Admiralty was voted at another meeting, to which Mr. Croker replied on the 3d in si., that an ample force had been uiider Ute order of the Admiralty, command ing the western stations, and that during the time the enemy's depredations are stated to have taken place, not fewer than three frigate and fourteen sloop, were actually at sea for the immediate protection of St. George's Channel, and (he western and northern parts oi the Uni ted Kingdom.' , ," ' . ';' ' ' ,' " In the memorial of the merchanta, &c , of Liverpool to the Admiralty, complaining of a want of kufikieiit, naval protection against A' merican capture, they speak of privaieert de stroying vtaeeja, aa a novel and extraordinary practice, which they say I hey are informed, is promoted by pecuniary rewards from tbe Amer ican goverament, and they wish measures) adop ted to prevent as much aa possible the ruinous effect of this 'new system of warfare.' ' At a very numerous meeting of the merchants, rpanufacturers,'phip owners and underwriters of the city of Glasgow, called by a public advert tisqment, and held by special requisition to the Lord Provost, on Wednesday, 7ih Sept., 1814, the Lord Provost in the Chair, it was, vaunt- , Rtoltd, That the purober of American prt. yataaf wjth which eur cbannela havabeeo io fested, the audacity with which' they have ap preached our caosts, and the succesi with which their enterprise has been attended, have pro ved Injurious to our commerce, humbling lo our pride and discreditable to the directors of the naval power" of the British nation, whose flag, till of late, waved over every sea and triumphed over every rival. . . . , That there is reason to believe, that in tbe short space of less than twenty-four months, above eight hundred vesaels have been captured by the power, wboee maritine strength we have hitherto impolitically held in contempt. That, at a time when we are at peace with all the rest of the world, when the mantenance of our marine costs so large s sum to the coun try, when tho mercantile and shaping interests pay a tsx for protection under the from of con voy duty, and, when in the plenitude of our power, we have declared the whole of the A merican coast under blockade, it is equally dis tressing and mortifying that our ships cannot with safety traverse our channels, that insur ance cannot be effected but at an excessive pre mium, and that a horde of American cruisers, should be allowed unheeded, unvisited, unmoles ted, to take, burn, or sink our vessels in our own inlets, and almost insight of our harbors. , That the ports ot the Clyde hsve sustained severe loss from the depredstions already com mitted, and there is reason to apprehend still more serious suffering: not only for the extent of the coasting trade and the number of vessels yet to srrive from abroad, but as time ia fast ap proaching when the outward bound ships must proceed to Cork for convoys, and when during the winter season, the opportunities of the ene my will be increased, both to capture with ease and escape with impunity. 1 . That system of burning snd destroying every article which there is fear of losing a system pursued by all the cruisers, and encouraged by their own Government diminishoa the chances ol recapture, and renders the necessity of pre vention, more urgent; ' ' That from the coldness and neglect with which previous remonstrances from other quar ters have been received by the Admiralty, this meeting reluctantly feel it an imperious du ty, at once to address the throne ; and there fore, that a petition be forwarded to His Royal Highness (he Prince Regent, in the name and in behalf of His Majesty, representing the above grievances, and humbly praying that His Royal Highness will be graciously pleased to direct such measure to be adopted a shall promptly and effectually protect the trade on the coast of this Kingdom, from the numerous insulting and destructive depredations of the enemy ; and that the Lord Frovobt be requested to transmit tbe third petition accordingly. 1 - That the thanks nf this meeting be given to Mr. Ewing, for the ability with which ha pre pared and introduced the business of this day.

' ' ' Sir Charles Napier seid he was far from thinking that the , present constitution of the Board of Admiralty had given satisfaction to the naval service. . The changes of the members of the Board of Admiralty entailed considerable ex pense on the country, for no sooner wss a body of men installed, than they changed moat of the regulations of their predecesror. As an in stance of the bad e flic u of the navy by a Board of Admirals, presided over by a civilian, be would state, that at the end of tho last wsr the guns were in such a bad statethat when fired, they would scarcely hit an enemy. He might also mention, that during the latter period of the American war a secret order was issued that British ships of war should, not engage A merican frigates, because the' f rmer were in such an inefficient 6tste. One captain after the receipt of this order, in coming in contact with an American frigate turneJ up bis crew1 ant) told them that he had directions not to fight, for he was determined not to keep the order secret.

UUflersID I Ilk j . - " I f i From tbe Albany Evening Journal. . "'' One evening, about ten daya ago, the mail sleigh, four in hand, en route from Binghamton to Utics, drove away from the village of Nor wich in double quick time. The night wss heavenly the moon shone bright aa day the sky wss without a cloud the air was clear and calm,' though cold the sleighing excellent and all combined to promise a rapid and plea sant drive to Utica, about fifty miles distant. The passengers were four in number, three gentlemen and one lady, called to Utica by in dispensable business. They were unknown tn esch other, but were destined, as the sequel showed, to become acquainted by an unexpec ted event. Nothtngoccurred of moment until about three o'clock in the morning, when the sky became atiddeuly overcast, snow fell, and a Northwester set in, which increasing every moment, toon blew a heavy gale, enveloping, at intervals, the sleigh and team in a cloud 0! snow, and driving its rparklinga on the passengers, who were seated inside of a large deal box cover,' with oilskin curtains at the entrance. . " It was soon apparent that the track was filling op, and had become very heavy ; the movement of four fine horses wss slow and labored, and the sleigh rolled and its joints and knees creak ed like those of a vessel in a stormy sea. The moon had now set, and nothing could be seen of the road but tho top raila of tba fences. No body spoke a word, but allef that a catas trophe was at hand. , Tbe team now bolted, and the driver, a first rate fellow, and fitted for any emergency, requested the gentlemen to alight, as "he was fast in the snow drift," ; They were soon out in four feet of snow. The team then started, and after wading some fifty yards the gentlemen resumed their seats, all the worse for this exit, for they had filled their boots and over shoes with snow, and were shivering with cold, not having obtained the glow which long con tinued exercise, even in a very cold atmosphere. is sure to give. , They had proceeded e very little farther when, with a bound and sudden lurch, the sleigh heeled over and capsized down a elope All inside was fairly knoofced into pi. Valises and bandboxes, hands aadjfeeel, heads and noses, all comminglel in glorious confusion, each per son mistaking hia neighbor's limb for his own and the lady undermost for in the philosophy of stage upsetting the laws of specific gravity are completely reversed, tbe lightest bodies be ing aure lo fall lowest. There she lay, so wrapt up in furred cloaks that she might easily have been taken for a carpet bag, well filled, and passed over as baggage. , . . The pissengers found themselves encased I a square box five feet deep, dark as a dungeon with the outlets at the top. Through this the gentlemen clambered with little difficulty. Eve ry eflbrt was then made by the p&isengcrs and driver to right the fallen vehicle, but to no pur pose, in truth, they were all too much psraly std by the cold since ascertained to be 18 deg. below zero to do anything io that way; Tbe attempt was therefore abandoned. "A consultation was now held, and it was re solved to lake refuge in the first habitation that could be reached. But ttue to American in stinct, sympathy for the helpless and distressed the lady was not overlooked; she was carefully extricated from the sleigh and placed in chargi of one of the party, who pledged himself to con duct her to a place of safety. The driver mount ing one of his wheel horses, plunged , with h team into the snow, bound tn Paris Hill post office, some two miles off, and the two young pasaenpers the whole party being ignorant ot the difficulties tube encountered, or they would not- have separated started for the nearest house, suppoeed to be about half a mile off ; they found it a long one. 1 '. The lady and her conductor were now alone, entire strangers to each other, and thrown into juxtaposition by ' an nnforseen event, which made a snow di ilV the place of their first ac quaintance. . . . , , v .! . '4 ' The entlen an over his knees in enow, in troduced himself as J. S. V. R of the city of Al bany T the Indy, in no better plight, announced hernt!f (0 be Mis A. R. of Norwich, Chenango county. Hi overture was.brief and very cold her reception aa abort and more chilling the was freezing; but what order could be expec ted in the frigid ceremonial of a anew drift! ' .... 1 . i -.-i . i i ' The pNxpect around, waa cheerless enough. The ignorance of Mr. Y. R. of tha localities the darknie the intense cold the boundten waste uf deep and trackless enow tba great distance to tha nearest dwelling and tha cer tainty that no aaeistsoce would coma until day light, full two hours off were stern realities which were to b met and overcome. v A sleepless oigbt, three hours drive, confined ia one' position, without fire or refresaateata of any kind, and the exposure in tha drat snow drift, irVff comfortless preparation for aa emer gency like thia. No wonder hieconrldanM wa- I:? rb, 'Jft ftfil-i under these withering influences ; bat there waa na use in despondency. .., His own condi tion, and tha shivering fragile before him, warm ly indeed clad, against the effects of external cold, but noway prepared for immersion in deep snow, admonished him that no time waa to be lost in conducting her with all haste to a place of comfort and repose. To regain the sleigh wis the first suggestion, but do it was now impossible. Its only entrance waa at the top of the box cover, and that was bove her head. To climb up the smooth sid., was impracticable, and encumbered as ehe wr.s with clothing, and sunk in the snow, to lift In r up was beyond the power of one man ; be-id 4 she recoiled from taking shelter in that dark ca vernous hold. To advance, then, was the on! alternative. Mr. V. R proposed it to her the consented at once, for she was of a resolute, en- thusisastic temperament ' For word was the word, with a titter she wa ded ietp into a heavy mass cf snow which lay directly across the road. She struggled along through this aome ten roads, and then sank down helplessly fixed. Her conductor was t t hand, however, to encourage her with his voicr , and raised her by the aid of his hsnds. Sbe wss soon extricated and again tinder way. Another eight rods were passed and again she bp cam a fixed, and was again relieved, and again, and again, snd again. And auch was tbe procen until some half hour had elspscd, and a quarter of a mile was gone over. Matters now became terioos ; the Isdy waa nearly exhausted, she spoke with a faltering voice, breathed hard, and panted like a deer run down by the hounds. A dead atop, for many minutes, was now unavoidable. It was at that crisis that a candle ahona front a distant window, announcing tha arrival of tha other passengers at tha most accessible dwel ling. It was indeed a cheering sight, and a bea con light of safety to tha way worn travellers. Its effects on Miss R. wss electrical ; it. Teani muted her drooping energies, and aha proceeded with renewed strength. Oue or two strug gles aud the drilt was passed. The e-iow was still kaaa deep, but the footing waa firm and evea, which was a great relief, the difficulty in a drift being that one foot sinks deeper thn tht other, producing a staggering and unsteady pa it, and frequently falls, wearisome in the extem. A half hour mora brought them to th fmi-o of Mr. Simmons, 12 miles Smiihnf fj'irs. uUro they were received in the kindest manner. They were conducted into a warm stove room, beds offered to each of the passengers, but ac. cepted by the lady only who was provided with every comfort her Condition required by tho kind hearted Mrs. Simmons. An excellent breakfast was then got ready for the whole par ty by Mrs. S. and her two daughters, of which all partook with appetite. At dsy-lijjht the driver rallied the neighbors, whose sturdy arms eojn righted the overturn, snd shortly after breakfast tho aleigh drove up. The passengers resumed their seats, and arri ved at Utica some five hour after usual time, not much worse, except the lady's hands, for tha adventure in the anow drift. In thia reminiscences ot the dreary night, though most of the details form rather a gloomy picture, there are bright spots on which tha memory of the gentleman will delight to dwell . He will uotsoon forget the unwavering conf) . dence of tha lady in hia' pledge to rescue lit r at every risk nor Iter burst of gratitude wlivn drawn from a slough of snow she would ex claim, "Oh ! air, how shall I thank you ,fnr this kindness! I should perish without four aid." Nor can he pass by the touching incident of th gloves.
