A HOLD VENTURE.—There is now ling at the
foot of Vine-street, East-river, a snail yacht, with the prit
and historical name of Charter Oak. She is sloop rigged,;
and her limo, judging from the way she sits on the water,
are everything that could be desired to insure speed and
' bearing. Thu Charter Oak is now taking stores on board,
the owner having determined to start for Liverpool in the
courts of next week. This is an undertaking of great
daring, as will be perceived from the diusemione of the gal-
lant little sloop, the length of which is only 40 feet, and the
burden 23 tone. Her CIIDVANI onetime of mainsail, jib, fly-
ing 0, gatf topsoil, equaresail awl studding sail—epreading

tive of Stamford. Connecticut, end a ship-carpenter
by profewion. lie inlorma us he is only twenty-
seven years of age, but he eertaiuly looks much older,
fur flute is an air of experience about him, much of which
has doubtless been acquired during half-a-down voyages
across the Atlantic on board the Phrenix, one of Kermit
and Carew's line of Liverpool packets. Mr. C. Webb's crew
will consist of the mate, Mr. W. A. Tucker, two seamen,
and a cook—five hands in all, including officers. He carries
