She has plenty of men, and fine men they are; all dressed in red flannel shirts. and blue trousers; some of them have not taken off their canvass or tarpawling petticoats, which are very useful to them, as they are in the boats night and day, and in all weathers. But we will at once go down into the cabin, where we shall find the lieutenant who commands her. a master's mate and a mid shiptnan.

The master's mate's name is Tomkins; he has served his six years three tunes over, and has no* outgrown his ambition i mhich is fortunate for him, as his chances of promotion are small.

The toper sat in his landlord's chair, In a heavy sleep ho merged all care; he dreamt of the juleps and cocktails that passed His gullet that morning so sleek and so fast.

"1 am weary of dozing," the toper soon cried; "A cocktail I'll have, and I can't be denied; And landlord be sure to have plenty of mint, I'll be drunk before nicht or the in't." A julep soon followed the cocktail's track And Brandy and water too close at its back, And the Toper soon found the Elysium of Earth Was the sofcst bricks on the landlord's hearth. 0, the Juniper Tree!

If you have, you must have been delighted with the view from the saluting battery; and, if you have not, you had better go there as soon as you can. From the saluting battery you may look up the harbor, and see much of what I have describe at Plymouth: the scenery is different; but similar arsenals and dock-yards. and en equal portion of l our stupendous navy. are to be found there. And you will see Gosport on the other side of the har • hour, end Sally Port close to you; besides a great many other places, which, from the saluting bat tery, you cannot see. And then there is the Southsea Beach to your left. Before you, Sptt head, with the men•of-war, and the Motherbank, crowded with merchant vessels;—and there is the buoy, where the Royal George was wrecked, and where she still lies.the fish swimming in and out of her cabin windows: but that is not all; you can also pee the Isle of Wight,—Ryde, with its long wooden pier. and Cowes, where the yachts lie. In fact, there is a great deal to be seen at Portsmouth as well as at Plymouth; but what I wish you particularly to see, just now is a vessel holding fast to the buoy. just off the saluting bat tery. She is a cutter; and you may know that she belongs to the Preventive Service by the num ber of gigs and galleys which she has hoisted up all round her. She looks like a vessel that was about to sail with a cargo of boats. Two on deck, one astern, one on each side of her. You observe -that she Is painted black. and all her boats ere white. She is not such an elegant vessel as the yacht. and she is much more lumbered up. She has no haunches of venison over the stern; but I think there is a leg of mutton. and some cabbages hanging by their stalks. But revenne-eutters are not yachts. You will find no turtle or cham pagne; but, nevertheless, you will, perhaps. find a joint to carve at, a good glass of grog, and a hearty welcome. Let us go on board. You observe the guns are iron, and painted black. and her bulwarks are Ivice for laziness; but ho was born so—and there. fore it is not his fault. A revenue cutter suits him, she is half her time hove to; and lid has no objection to boat service, as ho sits down always in the atern.sheets,which is not fatiguing. Creep ing for bibs is his delight, as he gets over en little . ground. He is fond of grog, but there is some trouble in carrying thd bumbler so often to his mouth; so he looks at it, and lets it stand. He i says little, because he is too lazy to speak. He has served more than eight years; but as for pas sing—it has never come into his head. Such are the three persons who are now sitting in the cabin of the revenue -cutter, drinking hot gin.toddy. "Let rue see, it was, I think, in ninety-three or ninety-four. Before you were in the service, Tompkins." "May.be, sir; it's so long ago since I entered •that I can't recollect . dates,— bu t this I know, that my aunt died three days before." . "Then the question is o wlien did your aunt din?", "Oh! she died about a year after my uncle." "And when did your uncle die?" "I'll be hanged if I know !" • "Then, d' ye see you've no departure to work From. ' However, I think you cannot have been in the service at that time. We wore not quite so particular about uniform as we are now." "Then I think the service was all the better for it. Nowadays, in your crack ships, a mato has to go down in the hold or spirit room, and after whipping up fifty empty casks, and breaking out twenty lull ones, he is expected to come on the qunrlcr.deck as clean as if he was just come out ofa bandbox." "Well,there's plenty of water alongside, as far as the outward man goes, and iron dust is soon brushed off. However, as you say, perhaps a lit. tie too much is expected; at least, In five of the ships in which I was firet.lieutentint, the captain was always hauling me over the goals about the midstiipm©n not dressing properly,as if I was their dry nurse. I wonder what Captain Prigg would have said, If he'd seen such a turn-out as you, Mr. Smith, on his quarterdeck." ' I should have had one turn.out more," drawled Smith. "With your °twat-elbows jacket, there, heh!" Continued Mr. Applehoy. Smith turned up his elbows, looked at ono and then at the other; after so fatiguing an operation, he was silent. "Well, whore was 1? Oh! it was about ninety. three or ninety.four. as I said, that it happened— Tomkins, fill your glees, and hand me the sugar, how do I get on? This is No. 15," said Apploboy, counting some white lines on the table by him; and taking up the piece of chalk, lie marked one more line on his tally. "I don't think this so good a tub as the last, Temkina, there's a twang about it—n want of juniper—however, I hope we shall have bettor luck this time. Of course, you know wo sail to-morrow." • . "I presume so, by the leg of mutton coming on board." "True—true--I'm regular—as chick-work.— After being twenty years a firablieutenaut,one gets a little method-4 like regularity. Now the admiral has never omitted asking me to dinner once, every time I have come into harbour, except this time. I was so certain of it, that I never ox. peeled to sail, and I have but two shirts clean in consequence " "That's od.t. isn't it? and the more so, beciauoo he has had such groat people down ham and has Wen giving large parties every day." "And yet I have made three 'seizures, besides sweeping up those thirty-seven tubs." "I swept them up," observed Smith. "That's all tho same : thing; yonker. When you've been a.little longer in the service, you'll find out that the commanding officer has the merit of all that is done—but you're green yet. Let me see, where was I? Oh! It was about ninely.three or ninety-four, as I said. At that time I was in the Channel fleet—Tomkins, I'll trouble you for the hot water—this water's cold. Mr. Smith, do me the favor to ring the bell—Jern, some hot water" "Please, sir," said Jem,who was barefooted, as well as bareheaded, toucing the lock of hair on •bla forehead, "the cook has capsized the kettle— but he has put more on." 'Capsized the koala! bah!—very well—we'll talk about that to.morrow. Mr. Tompkins, do me the favor to put hint iii the report; I may for get it. And pray, sir, how long is it since ho has put more on?" "Just this moment, sir, as I came aft." "Very well, we'll see to that to•morrnw:—you bring the kettle aft as soon as it is ready. I say, Mr.Jem, is that 'fellow sober?" "Yeas. sir, he he sober as you he." "It's quite astonishing what a propensity the common sailors have to liquor. Forty odd years have I been in the service, and I've never found au7 difference: I only 'wish I had a guinea for ov. cry time that I have given a fellow ' seven.water grog during my servitude as first lieutenant, I wouldu't call the king my cousin. Well, if there's no hot water we must take lukewarm—it won't do to heave to. By the L—d Harry: who would have thought ift—l'm at No. 16!--let mo count— ves! surely I must halie made a mistake.—A fact by heaven !" continued Mr. Apploboy, throwing the chalk down on the table. "Only one more glass, after thlr—that is if I have counted right— I may have seen double." "Yea," drawled Smith. "Well, never mind—Let's go on with my eto. ry. It was either in the year ninety-three "or ninety-four, that I was in the Channel fleet—we were then a•bre ' aat of Torbay." • "Here bathe hot water, sir," cried Jem, putting tUe kettle, down on the deck. '?rery well, boy. By-the by, has the jar of butter come on board?" “Tee, - but it be brOke 'all down the middle; 1 tied him up with a rope yarn.” "Who broke it, sir?" "Coxswain trays as how he did'nt." "But who did, sill" "Bill Jones gave it to me, and I'm sure art how I did'nt. • • '•Then who did, sir, leak yuul" "1 think it be Bill Jones, sir," 'cause he'a fond of butter, I know, and there be'very little left in the jar." "Very well, we'll see to that to-morrow mor. ning. Mi. Tomkins, you'll oblige me by putting the butteijar down in the report, in case it shnuld slip my memory. Bill Jones, indeed, looks as it butter wouldent melt in his mouth—never mind. Well it was as I said before—it was in the year ninety•three or ninety fear, when I was in the; Channel fleet; we were then olfTurbay, and had just taken twc, reefs in the topsails. Stop. before I go on with my story, I'll take my last glass—l think it's the last; let me count—yes, by' heavens I make out sixteen, well told! Never mind, it shall be a still one. goy, bring- the kettle, and mind you don't ?our' the' hot water into my shoes, as you did the °Oyer night. There, that will do. Now, Tomkins, fill up yours; and you, Mr. Smith: lot us all start fair, and then you shall have my story—and a very curious one it is,' can tell you; wouldn't have believed it myself:Wl hadn''t seen it. Milne! what this? Confound it! what's the matter with the toddy? Heh, Mr. Tompkins?" Mr. TomPkiris tasted ( butt lam the lieutenant, he had made it very stiff; and, as he had also ta- kon largoly'beiore, he was, like him, not quite so clear in his discrimination: "It has a queer twang, ow; Smith s whaus it?" Smith took up his glass, tasted tho contents! "Salt Water," drawled the midshiptrian. "Salt water! so it is, by heavens!" criod Mr. Apploboy, "Salt as Lot's wife!—by all that's infamous!" criod the master's male. "Salt water, air!" cried Jam, in a fright—ex. peeling a salt eel for auppor. "Yogi air," replied Mr. Appleboy, tossing the content's of the tumbler in the boy's face,—"salt water. Very well sir—very well!" . "it warn't mo sir," replied the boy, making up a piteous look. "No r sir, but you amid tho cook vane tbor." "Ho svas not ao very much diaguiaed, air," re plied Jom. • "Ohl very well—never mind. Mr. Tompkins, in case I should forget it, do me the favor to put tho kettle of salt water down in the report. The scoundrel! I'm very sorry, gentlemen, hut there's no means of having any no.ro gin.toddy r i-but never mind, we'll see to this to-morrow, Two can play at this; and if •I don't salt-water their grog, and make them drink it, too, I have been twenty years a first-lieutenant for nothing—that's all. Good night, gentlemen; and," continued the lieutenant, In a severe lone, "you'll keep a sharp 100k -out, Mr. Smith—do You hear, girl" "Yes," drawled Smith, "but it's net my watch; it was my first watch, and, just now, it struck ono bell." "You'll keep tho middle watch then, Mr. Smith'' Raid Mr. Appleboy, who Was not a little put out; "and, Mr. Tompkins, let me know ee soon as it's daylight. Bay, get my bed made. Salt water, bynll that's blue! However we'll see to that to morrow morning." Mr. Appleboy then turned in; so did Mr-Tomp kins; and so did Itr.smith , who had no idea. of keeping the middle watch because tho cook was drunk and had filled ,up the. kettle .with salt wa ter. As for what happened in ninety-three or ninety-four, 1 really would inform the reader if I knew, hut I'm afraid that that moat curious sto ry Is never to he handed dawn to posterity. 'rho next morning, :Mr. Tompkins, as usual, forgot to report, the cook, the jar. of butter, and the kettle of salt.watar; -and Mr. Applohoy's wrath had long been appeased before he remem bered them. At daylight the lieutenant came on dock, having only slept away half of the sixteen, and a taste of the seventeenth suit water glass cif gin -toddy. Ho rubbed his gray eves, that he might peer through the gray of the morning; the fresh breeze blow about his grisly locks, and 'cool ed his rubicund nose. The revenue cutter,whoss name was the. "Active," cast off front the buoy; and, with a fresh breeze, steered her course for the Needles' passage. 'CITAPTMIt 111,-COTTER Tqt TfIIRD Reader! have you been to St. Maloes?

Aro All alike, nasty narrow holes, only to bo entored at cortni . n times of tide and certain winds; made up of ba sing, and back-waters, customs-houces, and tuba. rots; just fit for smugglers to run into ' and nothing more: and, therefore, they are used for very little else. • i Now, in the dog•hole called St. ALIToes there is some petty land, although a groat deficiency ofmarine scenery. Rut never mind that: stay at home, and don't go abroad to drink sour wine, because they call it Bordeaux ; and eat villanous trash, so disguised by cooking that you cannot possibly tell which of the birds of the air,or beasts of the field, or fishes of the eon, you are cram ming down your throat. "If all le right, there is no occasion for disguise," is an old saying; no de pend upon it, that there iv something wrong, and that you are eating offs!, under a grand French name. They eat every thing in France, and would serve you up the head of a monkey who has died of the.atnall.pox, as singe a.la petite ye. role—thatia, if you did not understand French; if you did, they would call It, tete d'amour a.l' E. thiopique, and then you would be even more puz. zled. As for their wine, there is no disguise in that—it's half vinegar. No, nu! stay at homo: you can Bye just as cheaply, if you choose; and then you will have good moat, good vegetables, good ale, good beer, and a good glass of grog— and what is of more importance. you will he in good company. Live with your Itiondt, and don't make a fool of yontaelf. • I would not have condescended to have noticed this place had it not boon that I wish you to ob• 1 seise a vessel which is lying along the pier wharf, ' with a plank from the shore to her gunnel. It is low water, and she is aground, and the plank dips down at such an angle, • that it is a work of danger fo go either in or out of her. You ob s-rye that there in nothing very ramarkahle in her. She is a cutter, cud a good , sea-boat, and sails well before the wind. She is short fir her breadth of beam, and is not armed. Smugglers do not arm now—the service is too dangerous; they effect their purposn by cunning, not by force. Nevertheless, it requires that smugglers should be gorid seamen, smart active fellows, and keen. witted, or they can du nothing. This vessel has not a large cargo In her, but it ie valuable. She has some thousand yards of loco, a few hundred pounds of tea, a few bales of silk, and about forty ankers of brandy—just as much as they can land in one boat.
