NAVAL "REMINISCENCES.

About year previous to the decla-
ration OF war against Great Britain, the
English trlgate Macedonian arrived at
Norfolk, where her commander, Capt
Garden, and his officers, were treated
with all the hospitality for which the
citizens OF that city are distinguished.
The frgate United States was then w.,
ing there, under the command of Com
modore Decatur, between whom and
Capt. Garden the customary civilnIes
passed. A dinner gwen to Capt.
Garden, on board the United States,
the comparative merits of the two YES
sells became the theme OF remark, in
which Capt. Garden maintained with
some warmth the superiority of his own
new and beautiful ship Decatur, with
great deIIcacy, replied that lie should
sincerely regret the contingency which
should Place them IN attitude oil mulu-
al hostility, and waved the subject

The following is an extract from the pam

alive to the Trial Of Knapp.
Mr.. WEBSTER, in the close, said he had
come as citizen of Massachusetts to this
place, as one Interested in the lives and pro-
perty of his fellow men: as one wishing to
protect the lives Of his fellow citizens in the
silent watches Of the night; TO assist in de-
velopiDg the circumstances appertaining to
the most extraordinary facts connected with
this most barbarOus murder. So little had
ever been known of crime so deep in New
England; so uncommon was il that a citizen
of out own, bred Up under the religious in
situations and wholesome laws Of the land
should commit so fell a crime that announce
meUt of this strange occurrence had spread
universal alarm through every fibre Of the
community it disturbed the repose of every
man who laid his head in peace upon bis pill
low. There were no bursts OF passion in the
prepetrator to soften the atrocity Of the deed !;
all was done caculatlngly, calmly, cody,
skilfully. There was no lion of passion in
his path The object was money--the crime
murder; lie price blood the tale of silver
was counted out, the price fixed here is the
money, there is the victim. Here is a new
face given to murder, new character given
TO the grim visage of Moluch; no knitted
brow, no bloodshot eye nf passion disfirured
the couUtenance OF the assassin but all was
calm, smooth, and uDrufiied {; no common
mark of depTavity was there, The venom was
deep as it was Internal there was no rush.
ing Of blood TO the face, but all was done in
deiberalion Of purpose and with consumaie
skill and execution The Truth here could
hardly be credited, but still every fact would
be placed beyond dispute /; the villain could
almost be seen entering the house, tresdiug
the deserted rooms, ascending on feathers,
alone, the noiseless stairs opening with
stealthy and velvet tread the chamber Of bis
