About the year 1874 iuring the war be-
tween the British in India, and Tippoo. who
was aided by French force, Bernadotte,
then youth, was taken prisoner: of whom
and of the comm ndant that had him in
keeping, Col. Wilkes, in his Sketches of
the South of India, gives the following re-
markable relation.
Among the wounded prisoners was
young French Sergeant, who. particularly
attracted the notice of Col. Wangenheim,
commsndant OF the Hanoveriaa troops i'll
the English service, by his interesting ap-
gearsnce and manners; that he ordered the
Young man to b. conveyed TO his own tents,
where he was treated with attention and
Kindness until his recovery and release.
May years afterwards, when the French
army, under Bernadotte, entered Hanover,
General Wangenheim, among others. al
tended the levee of the conqueror. You
have served . great deal, said Bernadotte,
on his beir,r presented, "ani, as under.
stand, in India" Il have served there"
sat Cuddalore ~ g was there" 'Hsve
you any recollection of wounded sergeant,
whom you took under your profeciion in the
course of that service 20 The Circumstance
was not Immediately present 20 the Gene
raj 5 mind; but on recollection, he resumed,
II do indeed remember the circumstance,
and very fine young man he was; have
entirely lost sight OF him ever since, but it
would give me pleasure to hear OF his well
fare" "Thatyoung sergeant, said Berna-
do,te, ''1ras The person 1cko EO;o has the hon

public opportunity OF acknowledging the
obligation, and will omit no means within
his power of testitying his gratitude to
General Wangenhein."

The oceans calm, and the winds are asleep,
There is not wave on the face OF the deep,
And the water all gilded with sunbeams APP
pears
Like the dimples Of infancy smiling through
tears.
All silent around, save the death Of the oar,
And the echoes at intervals waited from
shore;
Save the note of the sea birds as onward
they glide, :,
And the pebbles that whisper when touched
by the tide.
Above US the sails almost mc.ionless lie,
81 fiin is the summer breeze murmur'ng oy:
The pillows, disturb'd by our boat, gently
Like the soft waving down on the breast OF
the dove:
Where the rays Of the sun are reflected
most bright,
The vessels seem launch'd OIL an ocean OF
light;
While some on the distant nOrlLon aPP''''
Like meteors illumined and floating IN air.
When we gaze on the waters, how little
we know,
Ofthe floods that, unfathom'd, are frownlng
below;
Or who that now looks on this glitterIng
form,
Would dream of its terrors in whirlwind or
storm!
How many, encouraging visions Of bliss,
Have embarked when the day seemed as
tranquil as this,
And thought not of storms or OF dangers 10
come,
Though they lurk'd in the breeze that
seem'd waiting them home

The fish taken by capt. Rich, and which
he brought to town and exhibited yester-
day, is of the Mackerel tribe, and is the
Thunny or Horse Mackerel. II is not re-
markable nor rarely met with. The in
quiry naturally arises, can this fish, or any
number OF them, be the monster SO often
described as Sea Serpent? We answer
decidedly, no. The existence of some re-
markable animal in our waters last summer
particularly near Cape Ann, was proved
by the most satisfactory testimony, ard
the appearances which he presented are
not in any degree to be accounted for by
supposing any numbers Of the fish now
taken. The descriptions which we have
had this season Of the Serpent, have been
less consistent and satisfactory, and I'M
doubleday often exaggerated. But neither
those exaggerated descriptions nor the err
ror of persons who by mistake have been
pursuing what had nothing Of the remarka-
BILE and characteristics appearances OF the
Sea Serpent, ought TO lead us to suspect all
former testimony. On this subject we are
happy to publish the following remarks OF
correspondent -
Communication.
Mr.. HALE-Since the great excitement
ocsasioned last summer by the appearance
on our coast of an animal supposed TO be
marine serpent, public expectation has
been on the watch for the return OF so ex-
traordinary a visjter. Whether the same
animal has since been in our waters, or
Thether the name Of sea serpent has been
this year applied to objects unlike the orr
gina! one, is point on which opinions dill
fer. 1t is not surprising that to persons
prepared TO seek this aquatic monster, al
most every unusual marine phenomenon
should be identified with the expected SER
pent. Various animals Of large size have
been described in our newspapers under
the name of sea serpent, some with their
heads equalliag ships boat, others with
tails elevated to prodigious height, but in
most instances evidently distinct from the
animal of 1917. There can be little doubt
that the spouting of whales, and the tumb-
ling of porpoises have in their turn perso-
mated this monarch of the seas. Lastly,
after public expectation had been excited
to a high pitch, by the reported successful
termination of three weeks chase Of the
| monster, we have nothing served up to sa-
Ny our eager appetites, better than a
! Thunpy Fish, ten or dozen feet long.
