A CURIOUS SEA TURTLE.

Yesterday forenoon about thirty
miles south east of Sandy Hook, spe-
cies of sea turtle, weighing upwards of
eight hundred, was taken by the crew
ofthe pilot boat schooner Young Pilot !;
he measures three feet two inches
round the neck, is seven feet long,
eight feet in circumference, and seven
and half feet from the extremity Of
one fin to the other-is coal black all
over, and has FIVE ridges on his back
resembling the sturgeon. When
struck with the harpoon, he took a
sIanting direction from the boats yawl
and soon run out all the line to which
it was made fast, and came well nigh,
taking the boat under. After strug-
gle of about two hours, they succeeded
in securing him, and this morning he
was landed, at Cof1e- House Slip. He
is said to be Trunk Turtle, native
OF the East Indies, and is the first OF
the kind ever seen on this coast. II
was purchased at the price of fifty dol.
lars for the Museum, where it may be
seen and examined.

EXECUTIVE ENERGY

Great must the talents be, and un-
corruptible the fame which passes
through this life in an cleya,. d situation
without being blasted by the foul
tongue Of scandal. The names of JEFF.
ferson and Madison have long become
objects OF lidicule and reproach, when
spoken Of by the ups,art politicians of
the day. Want Of energy and want of
nerve, have been thrown in their teeth
from every direction. The story has
got into the mouth Of one, and echoed
BY all the rest. This might have
passed current some time ago, but
l presume it viii lose ground now.
BY hte Intelligencer, We find that
no less than thirty Gun boats have
been ordered to be put in commission
for the defence Of our ports and har.
bours. This was the most appropriate
time At which such step could have
been taken--at time when we expecI
