THE LATE PIRAc1Es, Slc.--Some Of the
papers, we observe, are blaming Commodore
PORTER, and tho other officers on the West
India Station, for allowing of the recent pira-
cics i'll that quarter, and even SO SO far as to
imputc the piracies to their want Of due ac-
tivity. Ii we understand the facts correctly,
this is very harsh and unjust treatment. The
one or two piracies Of which We have lately
heard, being all that have taken place for
months, have taken place within the mouths
of rivers, where the miscrcants, watching
their opportunity Of a vessels being bccalm-
cd, or nearly so, push ont from the shore in
small row boats, complete their nefarous
enterprises, and return with their booty,
without the possibility of any United States
vessel seeking them, they taking good care
to keep snug while The armed vessels are in
their neighborhood. It is as impossible for
our vessels 10 dc.cct the offenders, as to pre-
vent the crime they rctiic to the country af
ter the commission oft, and are Unidentified
with the rest OF the population. The govern
ment Of Cuba, with every advantage Of juris-
diction, civil and military, and organized
force, and with an earnest wish 20 prevent
or punish these miscreants, cannot do it.
How, then, can onr Naval Officers, spread
ov CT an OCEAN, filled with a thousand islands,
be expected to prevent every case of villany!
The pirates nave certainly been driven from
the high seas by the exertions Of American
and British cruicers, and are now only heard
Of in very rare instances, in the bays and ri
ycrs, in hooks and byc-placcs, where, as We
have said, ourcruizers are absent, and where
nothinG but perfect police on the shores can
prevent or detect thcm. II IS not lair to
blame ournayal oiIicers for what they cannot
control, whilst, in the service OF securing
those seas, and conveying ourtrade, they are
submitting to every hardship and privation,
and RAINING greater actual risk Of life from
the disease OF tho climate, than they would
be liable to in . war with tic greatest naval
power of the world. 1t is melancholy tG
lhinl:, thar in the space Of little more than
! one hort year .Ehg officers cf our -ayy
have fallen sictimsto the severity of this SER
vice. One thing more VIII We whisper in
the Gar Of our frie'ads i'll the commercial ci-
/ tics, some Of the H-sscls whic' are plIndcr-

ing an article he was in search of, he took
advantage OF my absence, and ventured to
use lanthorn and there remains no other

in this way to quantity of straw used for

O'Clock, and the discovery was not made un-
til half past S. BY this time, the fire, as it
proved, had communicated with the hold,
and no doubt the whole after part OF the ship
was burning when the smoke was first disco

OF seven children, having at the time OF hef
death three brothers and three sisters living,
an OF whom were separated from her BY the
FATALITIES OF civil war, except one sister,

Unparalleled E&cahe.-On Sunday, the
18th inst. Mr.. John Sill Of Bethany, Genesce
county, while travelling with a horse and
wagon on tie Lake road, above is Mile
Greek, in the town Of Hamburg, fell over a
prccipicc Of $50 feet.
The circumstances as related to lis arc as
toliow MIR. 5. wa, riding on two-horse
wagon, withouu boz, t'rawnby single horse.
and coming to !; mad lolc in the middle OF
the road, With . stump on thc side opposite
the Lake, tie morse turned out Of the road
upon the very brink, ard while Mr.. S. was
| endeaVoilng to rem him again he stumbled
and precipiiated tlen all TO TIE bottom o.
this tremendous height. The horse was Kill
led instantly, and the wagon demolished
but incredible as il may appear, Mr.. S. cs-
capped with his life, and without a broker
bone! About half way down there v as
projection Of some feet in the bank, upol
which they touched in the fall. The beach
Of the Lake where MIR. S fell, is composed
of stone and sand. He remained insensibl,
for about two hours after the fall soon afte
his recollection returned, he was discovered
by some raftsmen, who rendered him th
necessary assistance. Mr.. S. passed through
this village last week i'll the stage on his wa,
home. The last that he recollected pre-
vious to the accident, was his cndeavors t
extricate himself from the wagon.

oaaintance, rubbed himself backward and
forward against the gratings of his den, and
appeared highly delighted. Notwithstand-
ing the urgent request of the keeper, that
he would not rashly expose himself to dam
ger, the man begged SO earnestly to be let
into the den, that he was at last suffered to
enter. The emotions Of the animal seemed
reused in the most grateful manner. Fe
rubbed against him, licked his hands and
fawned upon him like cat, and in no respect
attempted to injure him. The man remain
ed there for two or three hours; and he at
last began to imagine there would be some
difficulty in getting out alone. Such was the
affection of the animal towards his for
mcr friend, and so close did he keep
to his person, that his escape was almost
impracticable. With some care, however,
he got the tiger beyond the partition which
divided the two dens, and the keeper watch
ing his opportunity, dexterously closed the
slide, and thus separated them.
