"No need, replied the captain. ~

other moment, the Demon commander
was IN our hold. On the removal of the

prison. but 1t only fell on the part imme-

freedom Of small cabin to herself

side OF Margaret ere the merciless buc-
cancer descended. We almost inserted
ourselves into the wooden wall of our
hiding-place, and literally drew down
the sacks upon us. The captain felt
about the apartment with hishand, some
times pushing it behind the sacks, and
sometimes feeling under them. And
now he passed his arms through those
which aided in our conceament. Gra-
cious Heaven his hand discovered the
countess garments he grasped them

but at this moment his foot struck against
the cosket for which he was searching.

ON Margaret slackened, i contriyed to
pass towards his hand a portion of the
old fiag-cloth SO as to impress him with
the belief that it was the original object
Of his grasp. He dragged it forward,
and let it go. But he had disturbed the
compact adjustment of the sacks; and
as the vessel was now rolling violently
in tempestuous sea, terrible lurch
laid PROSTATE our treacherous wall of
defence, and we stood full exposed, with
out barrier between ourselves and the
ruiiian commander of the Demon. To
us 1t now seemed that all was lost, and
leaned over Margaret just to afford my
own bosom as slender and last defence.

REMARKS.
We have now arrived at that period of
our history when the settlement of the
town ofNewport first commenced the
land fronting or the harbor where
Thames street now is, was then an inn
penetrable swamp, which circumstance
so discouraged she settlers, that they
once concluded to locate the town near
the Beach; but on further survey they
found the roadstead altogether unsafe for
shipping, which obliged them TO resort
i. again to the spot where Newport now
stands; when they sounded and Examin-
cd the harbor, and finding it safe and
commodious, they concluded TO encoun-
ter the swamp and establish the town on
its margin; then they voted, that it should
be built upon both sides Of the spring,
and so by the sea side southward. The
place thus described was n running
= spring, and was in the place where the
fountain is now, on the west side ot
Spring street, short distance soutl
easterly from the State House. The
stream from this spring run about Noril
, West into the river (as il was then called
which now runs under the Jail, and abou
this spring, and on both sides the stream
running down into the harbor, was in
tended for the place to commence build
:, ing the town. BY their saying both side
, the spring, we understand us meann,
: not only the source but the stream

" built upon which ran TO the harbor, AN,

An AdroH THGc-Two or three
mouths ago, the bar of the City Hotel
was robbed of several hundred dollars
after the house was shut up for the night
and the usual watch was Kept until the
house was opened in the morning, SO
that no person could enter without be-
ing seen or heard by the watchman.--
Suspicion then rested on one of the wait
ers named John Kelley, but no, suffic-
lently strongto justify his arrest, hat he
was discharged by the proprietor of the
hotel from his employ. Night before
last about S4OO was stolen from the
same place in a similar manner no
particular person. could be suspected of
the robbery, the house being secured
and watch kept as usual during IL.
night, and no person could have conf
mitted the robbery unless they were
well acquainted with the situation of the
house. Fortunately one of the notes
stolen was post note for $500, which
induced information to be given at the
different lottery and exchange Offices of
the loss. On mentioning the loss of the
note in the lottery Office of Mr.. Bush, in
Broadway, last evening, they promptly
stated that they had few minutes be-
fore changed 1t for man named John
Kelley, waiter in the American Hotel,
(waiters are frequently sent with large
bills to get changed, and MIR. Bush
knowing Kelley TO be one, did not at
first suspect hlm.) The police officers
went immediately in search of him, but
did not succeed in arresting him until
this morning as he entered the hotel
where he was imployed. On his way
to the police office he made desperate
attempt to escape, seeing there was no
hopes to extricate himself that way, he
very adroitly tore off his watch fob and
threw it down, which was seen by the
officer, who picked it up and which con-
tanned the money given in exchange for
the $500 note. He denied any knowl-
edge of the money and of his changing
the note at Mr.. Bush's office.
How he got in the City Hotel is un-
accountable, unless he entered it before
twas shut up for the night and conceal
ed himself and came out afterit was o.
pened in the morning. He is committed
to answer the charge at the present
Court Of Sessions. On him was found
a silver patent lever watch, which he
does not satisfactorily account for.-New
