 "And there were muskets long and short,
 The ramrodless and rusty,
 Aad hil,iess swords and fli"'less lOckSs l
 Yet faithful true and trusIy."
 It seems the {" YOrlkeFs'' have had real st turn Out'' in the .s traiaing" line, which by all accounts must have added net little tO the fame of the Nations {" Bulwark,' espC cially of that part of it which lies encamped in the "heautifIl province of New Neder- landts." The rags were literally taken of the backs Of" fat Jacks ragged regiment tO deck the personages of these valiant descend ants of the Knickerbockers who were won't to defend themselves against the encrOachments Of" cOdfsh-eating. mOiasses-daubing" yankee neighbOrs. How would the heart of the val. iant Peter the Head-strong," and that of Anthony Van Corlear, his lusty trumpeter. have swelled within them could they have reviewed this splendid array ofwarriors arm ed to the teeth in the antiquated brooches of their ancestors. The following sketch from an eye. witness, may give some idea of their appearance:
 "New- York has been all alive, at what is called the parade of the Inyincibles,--a body of men opposed to militia trainings, and de- tsrmined to make burlcsque of all parades. It was general turnout of the barefoots in this city, military masquerade, which cap- ped the climax of all ridiculous things. Fal- staf's invincibles were no touch tO theNl.-- Every thing that would make the troops look like Satan's grand army was put on the heads, backs, legs, and bodies of the men. Some were painted, nhers had artificial boards as long as Lorenz0 Dow's, others with paper huNo their backs, large checked trowsers and over shirts, every thing in short, that could look like fun. But they behaved well. and the tolerant laws of New-York will not touch them for their fancy in dress. The same farce was played off in Albany few days since."-N.H H. Reg.
 Mina, the Imposter.-We learn, from the Barnstahle Patriot, that this man, who may yet perhaps rxpiate his crimes on the gallows, acquired some notOriety during a short resi-. dence at the Cape. He made his first ap. pearance at Brewster, in Barnstable county, bearing letter of introduction from Mrs Chapman tO some of the most respectable in- habitants. in which he was commended as very estiinabla young man, A gentle. man of Brewster introduced him to the High SheriF of Barnstable, who, s,ipposing him to
 
 much attention and politeness He was rep. resented as being exceeding rich, and the son of a- Mexican NObleman--and his dress was in accordance with his pretended rank.
 While at Brewster, he prctended to have lost various articles of jewelry, and pocket book. containing $500, which he advertised only at the solicitations of his friends-.ob. serving. that it was "to0 small an amount tO notice." This was the cause of almost e,npty ing his slender purse, 1" until he could make draft upon Boston Bank" Small sums were very readily handed him, but '.any thing short of a thousand dollars was of no consequences" A gentleman asked him the " time of day;" he immediately took out his watch, and insisted'on presenting 1t to the in- quircr, but it was refused. The watch was afterwards proved to have belonged to Mr. Chapman. He soon left Brewster fOr BOs. ton. having solicited the hand of respects. bIe female in marriage. She did not accom-. pany him to the city. but followed soon after with brother. Fortunately for her, her happiness and her friends, Nina was arrested soon after he arrived ins Boston.
 He IS represented as a finished gentleman in his conduct and department, and 1t is said, that not word or action ever escaped him, derogatory to the bearing ofa mat sSf rank.

 Nullifcation. "A Corresp oudent of the New-YOrk Courier and Enquirer says that the Boston members of the Free Trade Conven- ton were the strongest for Notification !-- { He says,-
 "YOu will be surprised when [ tell you that ! the South Carolina Utllifers are sane, reason able men when compared with those from | Boston. During th;s latter debate. it was the greatest difficulty in the world tO prevent one of these Boston gentlemen from getting Wlsl and "letting slip the dogs Of war"-opening [ the very chambers of the tempest and hurri- l cane. There is comical anecdote told of the three true blue southern nullifsrs laying | hOld-one on each arm, third by the tail of { bis coat--and keeping one Oflhe red-hOt Bos- lon nullfers quietly in his seat, in spite ofhis attempts to make . flaming speech.
