FROM ALVARADO.

New YoBK, March l3.-We learn by
the schr. Dolphin, from Alvarado, that a
most tremendous gale was experienced at
that place and the adjacent coast on the
nth ut. The u. S. schooner SHARK,
Lit. Comdt. SteOen., after having experien-
ced series OF boisterous weather, put in
10 Punta Aotona Lazardo, the only harbor
or the Coast. Captain Stevens then pro
ceeded to Alvarado for the purpose OF in
vesligating the Circumstance of the deten-
ton of American property 10 the Castle of
ST. Juan de Ulioa. He LETT Alvarado on
the morning OF the gale, with Lieut.. H. H.
Hobbs, for the Shark, but was compelled
to put back.
Capt. Russell, of the brig MERGED Of this
port, and another gentleman, who were
going to the Castle to claim quantity of
brandy, merchandise, &c. encountered
the gale about Is miles from the port,
they Immediately bore up for Alvarado,
and by uncommon exertions effected a
most miraculous and providentiai escape,
by running in through the breakers on the
bar.
10 the morning of the day on which the
gale occurred launch was sent from the
Shark, TO assist in getting of an Eng ish
scbr which got aground The night before
on a rect. Her crew consisted of the mae
ter, Mr.. Thompson. the Boatswain, Mr..
LOngiel. and seventeen men. The next
morning one OF the men arrived at Alvara-
do aud intormed captain Stevens that ne
was the Only surviyer Of the crew OF the
Sharks launch. He stated that they sue
ceeded in getting the English schooner of,
and Mr.. Thompson piloted her inside the
reef TO the anchorage near The SharK =
The hoatswain with sixteen men were lett
10 weigh the stream anchor Of the Shark,
which had been taken 20 the schoOners
assistance The gale commenced soon
after the anchor was weighed, but they
were compelled to drop IT, and held on
till the boat began 10 fill, when they slip.
ped the cahls, and kept before the wind
for the shore, and within halt a mile Of
which sea struck her and she cspszed.
The Shark and English schooner put 10
sea on the evening Of the gale, aud the lat
ter had not been heard of when the Dol
phn sliled. The Shark was off Alvarado
and bound into Punla Antou Lizardo.--
Capt. Stevens had been informed that 8
more OF the launches crew had been saved
and arrived al Puuta. The launch was
on the beach at Salina, and would be got
off as soon as the weather moderated.

US to believe' Every candid mind wild

north on the Missouri question--or the
part he took on the tariff the course to-
win the affections of the south, But
his course on each win exact from his
worst enemies, the concession Of the
purity of his motives.
Mr.. Giles could not, had he been,
disposed to do Justice and speak tho
convictions of his sober judgement;
have pointed to any subject whatever,
from which he could have SO incontesI
tably proven the fact, that America has,
never produced any other politician

what was, at the origin of them, the un-
popular side of the question. and all Of

Mr.. Giles is driven 10 admit one of
the two facts--that those measures are.
intrinsicaly right, and that Mr.. CLAY

there is no middle ground--the side of
each ofthese questions which Mr.. Clay
took, was either the wrong side or the :
right sidc--and he is welcome to have j.
it either way either equality falsifes
his charges against Mr.. Clay. But bis
charges against Mr.. Clay prove mo-
thing, as regards which is the right or
the wrong side of either subject. 1t is I
sufficient that they were not popular

THE SABBATH.

We copy the following. says the New
York National Advocate, from an English
paper:
The Jewish Rabbs and Elders have met
in general assembly at Platskow, and have
decided that the celebration of the Sab
bath shall be changed to the Sunday"
The above cannot be true. Consider
ing the Sabbath as political as we'll as
-eligious institution, intended not only as
a day Of rest for man, but humanely for
servants and animals, it may not be of
much consequence what day is selected
1t is an affirmative precept, however, F." Six
days shalt thou labor, and the seventh day
thou shalt rest - and there is no diversity
of opinion throughout the world, that Sat
urday was the Sabbath Of the Lor,l-the
day on which he rested-the day which is
always sancti6ed by the chosen people
The celebrations of the new moons the
observance of many of the ceremonials
and the computations of time, depended
upon Saturday being, as it ever has been
considered the Sabbath day. The Coun-
Gil of Nice. in balloting for a religion, and
changing the Sabbath. give no reason for
the measure, excepting expediency. The
religion in itself has been productive OF
much good, in enforcing the obligations OF
morality, and encouraging acts Of charity
and good will; but there never appeared
to US any reason for altering the Sabbath
and class of Christians, called Seventh
day Baptists, still keep Saturday instead
of Sunday particularly in Connecticut
1'rhese reports must be always receive,
.Iwith caution and doubt. That which ha
existed 5582 years, will not be abandone,
at this day.

From the Nantucket Enquirer.
NAVAL. ANOMOLIES.

How comes it that such gross chronoIo-
gical blunders are admitted into our naval
vocabulary? We hear of Alexander ar
rived at Boston-a place not known With
in 5000 years of Alexander's time; and of
the f'eIcrophon in Buzzard's Bay, or of
the Cleopatra of 400 tons burthen, bilgcd
near Tuckernuck.
Why are vessels Of the feminine gen
der ?-We read of the King George hav-
ing lost her bowsprit-the Queen Char
lotte sprung leak-the John Adams stove
in her bulwarks--the Lady Adams shift
ed her ballast--the Juniper foundered il,
the Gulf of Mexico-and the Emperor on
her beam ends.
The geographical, astronomical and po.
litical blunders are still more gross. The
United States has put into Holmes Hole
the North America bound round Cape
Horn; the Chesapeake cleared out for
London; the Massachusetts blown off the
coast; the Mediterranean high and dry or
