Briefly | told him my reasons, and
springing up, he despatched his chill

| hurried to my lodgings, and, seizlng
my pistols, returned to Smiths. A
large crowd of armed men were at his
house. Informed Of the cause of the
alarm, they were willing, to a man, to
attemptthe recapturc ofthe brig. In
tending to surprise the mutineers, we
look only one large fishing-boa capl
bic of carrying more than twenty
men. About that number embark
ed with me, armed either with mus
kets Or fowling pieces With regular,
but rapid strokes we left the shore.
AS we approached the brig, ! desired
the men 10 pull as slowly as possible;
in order thai the noise of the oars
might not betray us. 1t was now
quite dark the moon had set, and the
stars were yelled by the clouds. We
made fast, and all gained the deck
without discovery. We rushed into
the cabin, and soon made the mGti-
neers (who were all asleep prisoners.
They were evidently intoxicated,
which accounted for none Of them be
ing awakened by the noise we made
in entering the vessel. The blood OF
the captain and sailor was still on the
floor, but the two others were not to
be seen. Tortured with the dread OF
their having been also murdered, and
at the sasle time hoping they might be
confined on board, | eagerly question

were in the hole. We found them
there, tied in such a manner tE4t it was
impossible for them to move. In a
moment they were released, and |
clasped my friend in my arms, who
was almost bewildered with the sud

lives had been spared on condition OF
giving orders for large sums OF money

crew, after taking out the most valu

land in the boats. They would then

FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE.

Friendship is a dangerous word
for ladies. 1t is love, full fedged, s.
only waiting for a fair day to fly
The above remark is one which,
for its sentiment and truth, is perfect
ly characteristic of its author. 1t was
dropped, as a casual observation, by
the immortal Byron; and he who OBJ.
serves the conduct OF friends may a
muse himselfhy finding It's correctness
every day proved by all around him.
A lady in love never processes in,
difference for the objec. of her choice;
but. on the contrary declares that she
@teeisa sincere friendship FOR him L
think the poet might have given a less
limited range, and brought both sexes
into the sphere of his remark, since it
is equally applicable to one as to the
other. Love appears to be a subject
which can never be worn out, aud
one which furnishes more converse
ton among certain classes than all O
theirs put together.
L have known a young mar who,
for months together, apparentlyihought
OF nothing excepta woman, nor drea-
med of aught beside connubial felicity.
Her shadow accompanied him in the
morning, and Of her name he sung in
The evening. The face of Nature was
beautiful only S % far as it furnished
objects for comparison with his Du'.
clnea. The rose he admired, because
It's fragrance was like her breath; The
peach, with its crimson tints, excel
led by the colour of her cheek; and
the sloe Of the black thorn was not un-
pleasant, for its JET We'd with that of
hereye:its brilliancy was like the sparN-
ling OF the diamond, and its flash, if
offended, sharper than the lightning S
CLEAN athwart the Heavens. If the
tempest roared, and the wind, let loose
swept over the earth, he could fancy
the music and echo of her voice in
the signing ofthe breeze, and see her
image reflected in the dashIng OF the
wave.
No subject could be mentioned on
which he would not Immediately give
her opinion. and no opportunity oil
mentioning her name did he allow to
pass UnImproved. henevcr he took
up his pen, it was. but to write "Per
dition catch my soul, out | do love
thee" and yet never wouldsacknow
ledge hat ne felt auy oiher regard than
an intimate Friendship.
The hero OF Ccrvantts argued the
| power ofnecromancy with not more
seriousness than car wight did that Of
his friendship; nor did SHucho follow
Ms master with more Jealous fidelity
than was shown by cur infatuated 10

INTERESTING TO NAyTGATORs.

INTERESTING TO NAV!GATORS.
We copy the following article from
the Nassau Gazette, for the purpose Of
giving information respecting the ma
viga,ion in the Bahamas. The differ
ence existing between Mr.. BIouu,'s
chart, and that mentioned below, is
matter that will in all probability, be
speedily adilsted, and the proper way
to accomplish this object, can only be
effected by informing the party in fault
Of his errors.
Although it must be admitted that
every shipwreck which occurs among
these islands, produces some gain to
the Inhabitants, in saving at least a
part of almost every wrecked vessel or
her cargo, we have constantly endca'
vored to point Out where any danger
Gus reef or shoals may lie, SO soon as
it has come to our knowledge, general
ly through the information Of the able
Nautical Surveyor, who is still engag-
ed in the service assigned TO him by
the Lords Of the Admiralty. We I'M
derstand that Mr.. Blount, of the Uni
ted States, in his Book on Nautical al
fairs, has thrown out some illiberal and
unjust remarks on the wreckers Of The
Bahamas, and have lately learnt that
his sailing instructions respecting these
islands tend to mislead his own coun-
trymen as well as others. As an in
stance of this, the American steamboat
General Santander, which arrived here
from Norfolk, about three weeks ago,
was observed early on the morning Of
her arrival, at anchor very near the
Light House, in such situation as
that, if it had not been very moderate
weather, she would most probably have
been lost. The master of this vessel
stated that, agreeable to Blount's in
structions, he ran in towards the light,
until he got soundings, and by that
time he was so near the shore, that the
breakers were heard, when he came to
anchor. Now, the fact is, that in a
North direction from the Light House,
Mr.. De Mayne lays down soundings, in
IA fathoms, only quarter Of mlSe
distance; but to the eastward OF 1t,
the soundings run farther out, SO that

tier East from the Light House, 3 Ia

the consequences have extended seriously to

the affairs of one another, which leads to the
malicious propensity Of guessing that this and
