An article in a late New Bedford paper mer-
its the attention of all Captains of vessels. 1t
states that the inattention Of homeward bound
vessels, from beyond Cape Horn, (others might
be included) to the collecting and preserving
shipping intelligence from those seas, has often
been the subject of disappointment and regreG
in cases, too, where consideration of common
pursuits and reciprocity of interests would, it
might be supposed, have furnished sufficient
motive for obtaining such desirable informa-
ton, and afforded an ample recompense for any
slight cost Of trouble it might have occasioned
The list of whale ships furnished by Captain
Barrett, of the brig Frederick, arrived at Alex
dria, presents strong contrast to the general
heedlessness of which we have been speaking.
And although it gives later intelligence of but
few of our ships than has already been receiy" d;
yet the careful attention to the subject, which
it discovers, cannot be 100 highly commended,
and must, doubtless, be gratefully appreciated
by those Of this place; and elsewhere, who are
interested in the Pacific whale fishery

The Princeton Patriot very justly remarks
that those who lead the opposition in Congress,
as we'll as in New Jersey, do not profess to lead
it against particular measures. They say in
plain prose, that they aim at men; and that no.
thing can satisfy them, and nothing shall salts
fly them but change of men. In the ranks Of
this opposition, says the editor, we see stand
ing shoulder to shoulder political men who a
few short months before were not believed by

The Emperor Alexander being on Journey, in
the year 1924, to of the remotest provinces of
his domlnions his carriage broke down on the way,
and he was obliged to stop on the high-road Hav.
ing extrcated himself, the Emperor left his attend
ants employed in endeavoring to repair the damage
and proceeded slowly on foot. He was soon over
taken by General D****, who was also in attend
ance on him, and who Immediately sprung out of
his own carriage, to offer the of it to the Empe-
ror. Alexander, however, desired him to get in
again, to hasten forward to the next post, to expe-
de the preparations for continuing his journey, and
to wait bis arrival
The General obeyed, and had not gone far, when
an elderly Russian woman, of the peasant order,
came up to the Emperor, and in free, though not
a rude manner, thus addressed him:
OLD WoMAN-Do you come from Petersburg
EMpERoR-Yes.
ON WoMAN-You belong perhaps to the EN-
peror's suite
EMpEnoR-Id do.
OlD WonAS-Have you brought for me letter
with money, from my son
ENPGRoR-No; who is your son
ON WomAN-Hey don't you know my son
and yet say you belong to the EmpcloI's suite p
Why, he is warmer of the stoves in the winter pa
lace
The Emperor was amused with her vivacity and
her freedom, and asked her to give him some more
information respecting her son.
She told him, that he had always been in the habit
of sending her 70 roubes out Of his salary as
she, from her age was incapable Of earning much
for herself This year, however, be knew the
Emperor had intended to travel through her vii
lage he had written to her to tell her, that he
would send the money by one of the Emperor's at
PENDANTS on the journey.
EMpERoR-You are quite right, mother | recol
lect now your son did not give me the money, but
to another of the Emperor's servants You are mis-
taken also as to the sum, which is not 70, but 500
roublcs.
On WomAN-Are you in earnest
EMpERoR-In good earnest. If you will go on
to the next post, you will there find the officer
Alexander then gave the old exact de-
scription of General D****, so that she might be
sure to know him, and added-Be sure you make
him give you the 500 roubles. ~

what must be her sufferng?'
A flush OF the deepest crimson everspread the
countenance OF Morton, then, bursting INTO "a
hysterlcal laugh, he himself directed my atten-
ton to IL, as he exclaimed bitterly: Do you
not see how my impotent pride rushes to arms,
when a friend would look on the wretchedness
that will ere long be food for the cold eye of an
Implying world ? and yet and he held me
