Nrw-YoRK, MAY l3.--Ycstcrday, sea far
ing man OF the name of John l.. Skeese, was
brought up To the Police, under the following
circumstances. He had shipped on board the
brig Harriet, at Campoachy ,boundto Baltimore
being a stranger 10 the concern, and n con
siderable quantity OF cochneal was brought
on board. Tire owner fearing the pirates,
enrca'ed the captain to put TO sea before the
people on shore knew what he hal on board.
This Skeese begged permission to go on
shore tor his bedding, and would take no retu
sal. He obtained an hours permission TO be
absent, and came on board, and Just at dark
the captain got under way. In going out Of
the harbour, It being dark and rainy, the cap
tain ordered Skecsc 10 keep look out for
sunken wrecks aud Skeese, instead of guiding
him correctly, led him to within twenty yards
OF the sunken wreck with the evident inten
ton OF destroying the vessel The captain
discovered his danger nst in time to avoid it,,
and he threatened the mate seriously tor his
conduct. Jus, at that moment the supercargo
told the captain that through the haze of the
night, he discovered Il piraiieal boat making
Tor the vessel--the captain ordered the euus
10 be cleared for elton, and the mate assisted
with alacrity. The supercargo brought up the
Captains pistols, and laid them on the hen
coop, when Skeese seized them, and threaten
ed to shoot the captain; he ran forward aud
hailed The boat i'll Spanish, telling them to
come Oh board, and swearing he wonld have
the Cochinea At this time the boat was
within 30 yards OF the ship, when fresh
breeze sprung up, and she escaped. skeese
was secured by the crew, brought back to
Campeachy, and wns sent in irons OH hoard
the Susanna, Capt. Tier, for Havana, which
ship was wrecked onthe Collorda, and Skeese
escaped. He was found yesterday on board
the brig Elizabeth, stnFges, for AIvarado,
shipped as mate, and was brough, up aud

POETRY.
[For the PAenir Gazette.l
To A MOTHER,


On the Death of a beautiful Child.
You have seen when the flowers of the morn
were enclosed,
On some delicate leaf, a soft dew drop reposedi
Have you marked how it trembled, as fearful
to stay,
Then fled with the beams of the morning a.
way
Or ere by the beams ofthe morn it was drain'd,
Twas swept by the blast from the leaf that
sustain'd;
Have you fancied the fow'ret in silence has
mourn'd,
That the gem its fair bosom no longer adorn'd'
o let not thy memory too deeply revive,
The scenes which her pencil will picture too
true,
Nor hopelessly grieve, for the joys that are
gone,
Nor sigh that they fiedike gem fthe morn;
For though hard is the soil where thou'st IA
ted to grow,
And the cold winds of sorrow oft over it blow,
Thou brighter and fairer shall bloom in bow
er,
Where no blast shall e'er sever the drop from
the flower. NJ.
