ed to pieces in his fall. All this he repeats without
a smile upon his countenance, and he expects you
to believe it but you may balance the account,
for tell him what absurdty you will, he receives it
with the utmost credulity and is convinced of its
truth. His courage is undoubed, for he will stand
on the deck undismayed amidsthe blood and slaugh-
ter of battle; yet shore he is seized with indes-
cribable apprehensions at the sight of cofin.-The
wailings ofdistress find ready passport his heart;
but to disguise the real motives which prompt mme-
diate aid, and he'll swear that the object of his char
ity does not deserve single "copper" yet he gives
ia pound, with only this provision,-that the indi-
vidual relieved does not bother him about gratitude.
You may know him from thousand; for in his
dress conspicuousy neat, and his standing and run
ing rigging in exact order, yet they are arranged
with certain careless ease, as if he had but just
come down from reefing topsails.-The truck of the
mast head does not sit better than his tarpaun hat,
neither does the shoe upon the pea of the anchor fit
tighter than his long quartered pumps.-Grog is his
ambrosia, his nectar and he takes it cold without
sugar, that he may have full smack at the rum.

DESCRIPTION OF A TAR OF THE OLD
SCHOOL,

The real tar has a language peculiarly his own,
and his figures of speech are perfect soppcr-knots
to the understanding of landsman. II he speaks
Of his ship, his eloquencc surpasses the orations of
n Demosthcncs, aud he reves in the uxurcs of n
metaphor. The same powers of elocution, with
precisely the same terms applied to his wife,
and it is n matter of some doubt to which
crosses the greatest portion of his acctions-to him
they are both lady-ships. Hear him cxpatiatc on
his little barky, as he calls his wooden island though
she may carry a hundred -and-fifty guns and crew
Of thousand men. "Oh she's the tleetest of the
fleet sits on the water like duck stands under
her canvass as stiff as a cruch and turns to tho
windward like n witch ~ OF his wife Inc observes,
" What clean run from stem to starn She carries
her tgalrnt sails through every breeze and in work.
ing hank for hank, never misses stays!' He will
point to the bows of his ship, and swear she is as
sharp n wedge, never stops at a sea, but goes
smack through all. He looks at his wife, admircs
her hcad-gear and out-riggcrs, her braces and bow
lines, compares her eyes to dolphin strikers, boasts
Of her fancy and fashion-pie and declares that
she darts along with all the grace Of bonctta.
When he parts with his wife to go a cruise, no
tear mostens his cheek, trcmuous agitation does
discredit his manhood: there is the honest pres
of the hand the ervent kiss, and then he claps
on the topsa-haards, or walks round the capstan
to the lively sounds of music. But when he quits
his ship, the being he has rigged with his own fin.

brcczcs Of heaven should

How many hours has he stood at that helm and
watched her coming up and falling off and when
the roaring billows have threatened to cngulph her

WOMAN.
Sweet tender sex! with snares encompassed round
On others hang thy comforts and thy rest

Sweet, tender sex! with snares encompassed round,
On others hang thy comforts and thy rest.
Nature has made woman weak that she might
receive with gratitude the protection of man. Yet
how often is the appointment prevented How of
ten does her protector become her oppressor e
ven custom seems leagued against her. Born with
the tendcrest feelings her whole life is commonly a
struggle to suppress them Placed in the most fa-
vorable circumstances, her choice is confined TO
few objects, and unless where sngulary fortunate,
her fondest partialities only a modification of
gratitude. She may reject, but cannot invite, may
tell what would make her wretched, but dare not
even whisper what would make her happy; and in
a word, exercises merely negative upon the most
important event of her life. Man has leisure to look
around him, and may marry at any age, with al
most equal advantage, woman must improve the
Hceng moment, and determine quickly, at the
hazard of determining rashy The spring time OF
her beauty will not last--ts wane will be the signal
for the flight of her lovers and if the present oppor
tunity is neglected, she may be left to experience
the only species of misfortune for which the world
evinccs sympathy. How cruel, then, to increase
the misery Of her natural dependence How un-
generous to add treachery to strength, and to de-
ceive or dsappoint those whose highest ambition
is our favor; and whose only safety is our honesty

DEAR SIR-Our last respects of the 10th instant
We have the pleasure TO to you that the
second nsalment ofihe Ncapolitan Indemnity has
paid ut Naples, amounting TO $40 200 ducats. This in
cludcs the interest established upon the favorable
principle in the first instalnent.
The mode indicated TO for this instament, by the
Neapotan Minister of Finance, was that these funds
would be deposited in the Bank, and that we were TO au
thorise person at Naples To withdraw them We
consequently have complied with this in giving our
correspondent in that city such authority and sending
TO him receipt to be delivered ut the Treasury in the
form before approved by the Minister of Finance.
In order To divide the chances of advantage order
ed onehalf of the proceeds of this nstamen be
United TO us, which is doing in bills upon Paris
London and Marsellcs. The other half we intended
drawing for upon Naples; but owing being the
moment for the payment of the dividends upon the Nea
polan stocks, the Coupons for this ne gotang
at n lower rate which causes bills 10 remain low, and
without any demand We shall therefore postpone draw
ing, until more advantageous moment.
In the transaction of the whole of this affair you may
rely upon our best attention being given to il.
We remain, very respectfully, dear sir, your obt
wants, Signed, WELLES ~ co.
