coasters, the shadow of noble ship was discovered

larger, if brought on by winds which had
not as yet driven one breaker to the shore and as
it grew larger and still larger, streak of cloud
seemed to rise out of the bosom of the and
spread round the horizon towards the setting sun.
That little cloud began to gather blackness as
it spread abroad the sea-fowl flew screaming from
the water; the light shallops that glided peacefully
off the shore, seized the first breezes, and spread

an old weather-beaten Captain, who sat lollng
against pillar of the portico; "and yon ship has
not sufficient ong to weather it, if it comes on as

The ship was in full view for, as if its crew
had caught the presage before us, they had been
crowding all sail to make the narrows before night ;
steady breeze now bore it along at a rapid rate ;
but the clouds gathered even more rapidly upon it.
Still but little anxiety was felt-it was sight ma

added submity to the picture AS if in the conf
dence of being able to reach place of safety, the
vessel stood in towards New York, and though the
sun disappeared in its setting among the clouds,
and the wind whistled around the mansion, and
drove the breakers into furious clamor, the point
seemed yet within reach.
Suddenly the scene changed A huge mass Of
blacl1ness that hung over the sky, seemed to break
up; violent gale set in and, when too late, the
interchangeable mariners attempted to make off. From
the moment the ship changed her course, anxiety
and fear seemed written on every brow; which were
increased each minute. But she made head way,
apparently worked to admiration and we at last lost
sight of her, in the thick gloom of gathering clouds,
and the darkness of the approaching night.

Her life seemed to depend upon it, and reluctantly
stepped out Of the boat, and helped to carry her al
most senseess to the mansion, while she illfeeby
raved about the storm, the ship, and Henry. We
conducted her to her room, and having given her in
charge to the domestics we both determined to go
over to the beach.
The scene was of SO novel and mysterious ma
ture to a stranger like myself that the hitherto for
bidding vister broke the mysterious silence he had
before observed, by the single observation, "Poor
Henrietta, she once loved foolish sailor boy, and

SCHILLER. TIE POET.

literary coantrymen. The rules of the rench dra

town, on Tuesday last,was walking with
Lady to whom he was engaged to be
married, in Park street, he received a
shot in the leg from the musket Of some
one of Militia Company who were at
at the time of his passing, firing in the
course of their drill. The knee-pas
was shattered, and the surgeon found il
necessary to amputate the Iimb.--The
man has since died.
The trial of the PARKERS, for the
murder of man at the west end of the
city last winter, came on before the Su-
preme Judicial Court at Leachmere
Point yesterday. The jury have re-
turned their verdict this day, and brought
them in guilty Of murder.
