THE SAILORS ON SHORE.

Toni say, Jack, W here can body come
ath' wart the Savings Bank as they call il (?
Jack.-Saviags Bank, do you say faith
that's past my reckoning. What would
hey be at there, ship mate
Tom.-Harkee Jack, as our Captain was
paying Us off says he, Tom, what will you
do with all this money! Says |, that's
something more than have thought about ;
but between sky larking and Jolly boys, I'll
soon be rid OF it. Well, says the Capain
and how will you manage TO m'ke he pot
boil, when you are sick and old? Would il
not be better for you to lay by the whole or
part of the money, which you have earned
by so much bard duty, TO make yourself
comfortable when you are on your beam
ends Aye, sir. says |, but if one gives tito
our owners, ten chances to one but they
break. If we lend it to messmate, or
leave it with our landlady, it's all one, We
never have any good of it. True enough
Tom says our Capt. but if you put il into
the Savings Bank, you are sure of gettiog il
again when wanted, & that too with interest
So you must know, Jack, I've been over
hauling what the Captain, has told me, and
am resolved to just stow away my cash, and
instead Of carousing ashore, ship with the
Captain for next voyage.
Jack Bravo, shat,er my limbs but
thought just SO of the Captain when we
were with him last year. Was'ent he
always doing something to make us com
Portable ! But how comes it he did not tell
us of the Savings Bank then?
7om.-Avast, Jack, the Captain could
not tell US oft for the bes, reason in the
world, it was not under way.
Jack We'll, full allowance and fair
weather, say |, to the hearts who planned it.
Why, Tom, body has something to work
for now. Money at interest, and as safe as
ship in dry dock. Give me the ropes end
if don't put what sinners I've left in with
you. Come along Tom, we'll hail every
thing We meet till we fad this Sailors Snug

In suit of sables, and with care worn brow,

Newly invented Wheel Carriage.
We have Witnessed, within day CT two,
the newly invented four wheeled carrisge,
which lately excited so much interest in
Scotland. Upon inquiry, we fad that its
properties are, cheapness in the construc-
tion, ease in travelling, and nearly total e.
vasion of duties and tolls. BY great me-
chanical improvement in the axles, one
horse performs the work of two with the
most perfect ease; and by single ingen-
ious contrivsnce, the horse can be, in the
event of an accident, simultaneously re-
lieved from the carriage. by the will of the
driver. The easy riding in The carriage a.
rises from the peculiar formation of the
perch; and superior to every mode in the
elastic effect /; as in every other way, the
rider is subject to continusl jerks; but in
this, the effect is acomplete swinging or can
ting motion, elevating and depressing; SO
that, under any shock that it can be liable to
il would be impossible to unsest the driver.
A more elegantly constructed conveyance
we have rarely seen. We understand it runs
so easy, that the traveller may write in i,
going eight miles per hour, on rough road.
II is not heavier than gig, and built at less
expense. The springs are Lakewood, lined
with whalebone.

Bucaniers.-We learn, from good authority,
that the band OF pirates, who have so long infest
ed the low er part Of the Mississippi and the adj
jacent lakes, have established themselves to the
number of fifty, on a piece of land between two
small b; yous that empty into lake Barai aria.
They have put themselves under the command
of the noted Mitchell, whose life was long since
forfeited TO the offended laws. 1t is ascertainsd
that they now engaged IN building a boat
doubtless with the intention of renewing their pi-
racies that they have a large field under culti-
walton, in which corn and other articles of pro-
visions are raised in great abundance, and that
they have plentiful supply OF live stock. 1t is
said that they have fortified themselves with
something like a breastwork and some cannon OF
small calibre. Among the eviis intIcted upon US
by the late hurricane, it is none OF the smallest
that il frustrated well planned expedition fitted
out against these pirates by the commander OF
the naval forces on this station. The principal
vessel intended for this service (the Erebrand)
was lost when she was on the point of sailing,
and il IS feared that iico others, which formed a
part of it, hare shared q similar l0is. What then
RENAME to be done Shall this horde OF outlaws
and ruffians be permitted to exist on the soil q
the state, and perpetrate their grimes with
impunity Is there no means OF ex.rPating lhem
Ia the absence Of naval force : We trust the
governor will cause the authority OF the laws 10
be respected, to which end the constitution mas
pIaoed the military force Of the state at his dis
po.aI and il that should not be sufficient. he
knows that call upon the commanding officer
Of this military department would be promptly
