YOUNG WA TS UN.

We extract the followitm account from Mr.
FEAttohl'S 'ketches of' Americo, which are just
published :
" A dry previous to my departure from Pittsburgh, I
called at Carey's porter.huase; Mr. C. stepped forward,
and pointing with his band to • young man, said, Mr.
Watson, Sir.' For some mins/les I did not comprehend his
meaning. The person to whom he directed my attention
sat in a corner, silent, ►erious, and indifferent: he was short
in stature, and mean its appearance. Guess my surprise
when I was informed that this Mr. Watson was nu other than
young Watson—he, concerning whom, tilt some months,
oar a hole country was in • general ferment. 1 felt some
curiosity to know the history of a iwrson so singularly
thrust iutn premature importance. Hit appearance greatly
disappointed me, net ou account of the poverty of his dress,
for that I presume results at present frum circumstances
beyond his control; hat I hail imagined young Masao to
be adoring, bold, enthisaiastic, indiscreet young man. He
dues not seem, however, possessed of any uue of these qua-
lities: he is reserved. nut trim constraint, but habit, and
habit of a kind that more Isespealss an absence of Palest
than the attendant of mind. The ship Venus, in which be
went passenger, was hauled to ue Dover; Lavender •ad
another How-street officer went on board, having certain
formation that ba was there. His face was painted; be
had on a farmer's frock-coal, stuffed, shoes without heels,
looked stouter, shorter, and younger than described in the
proclamation. He went on dick upon knowing that officers
were looking fur him. When lie was standing by their side,
Miss Wilson, • cabin passenger, fainted. Lareader, ignorant
of his person, told him to hike care of the lady. Examined
the trunks of all the passengers, not excepting that of
Watson, who coritinned supporting Miss Wilson. 'fbe
officers did not believe but that be was on board, their
lamination being positive: they at length whispered to
each other is his bearing, " Ile is nut Isere; they de-
parted; the ship gist under way; Ise conversed with all
concerning prune Watson. Upon arriving in America,
Mr. Husby, son of Doctor Cushy, who was a cabin pas-
senger, inquired of w Engin:lnnen in New Vint, if
young Watson were in America? acing answered in the
affirmative, he asked' By what The Vents..'—' No,
that is a mpubsib/r, for I Caine in the Ventia.'—' He err.
faints rant.. in the Venus.'—' Under what name Thomas
Oh, I knots the boy Brinson rely well; we
used so call him the proud farmer.' He has got • sans.
bon in • school, gad receives MIL per annum; is little
known, and less regarded. Americans, who have heard of
him, either care nothing shoat, or despise him fur the
!Political part which be has taken. he these few lines you
have the paiticulurs of a young man who has excited, iu no
small degree, the public attention. He slid not express the
least gratitude fur the extraordinary assistance which, I
presume, he must have recei►ed. I asked myself, during
his coormsation, is it possible that this is an individual,
one of the (oatmeal among those, to guard against whose
mighty machinaf Ministers suomlidell the birth iieht
of Englishmen ? But, however, SO it was; sod in this per-
son we have by 110 means a novel instance of inexperience
combined with fanaticism, neither of which qualities would
perhaps ever have been called into action, had it not beta
for the exiatclice of ass order of things which deprives a coo.
siderable iscrinsu of our population of the actual Begun-
ries of life."
