The Philadelphans are getting madden and madden.
They gave us yesterday the first letter Of the re-
doubtable pirates name. NJ, with devil Of
dash after it, as they sometimes do the bills Of the
play, when they wish to designate the monster in
FrankeRsten.
o this big NJ, with the big DASH all the other pi-
ratcal captains, who sprung into existence in the
brains Of the Philadelphans have been obliged to
SINK into tneir congenai snaue.
This big M with the long tailed dash, be il known,
stands for one Mitchell, who has an accompce il is
said, called Brenncr. Mitchell and Brenner! Surely
the pirate mongers cannot have got Nina and Brenda
from SCOTS pirate and robbed tho little dears of their
peticoats and converted them into the grim heroes Of
the seas! Should not wonder.
Having made up their minds as to the pirate, the
next point with the PhlladephaSs has been to
somebody. They accordingly looked round and
pitched upon one Benjamin Blackman. Perhaps
they thought that as he had black name, he mast
be Of black nature. He is in custody. This is
ly the beginning. They must arrest more yet Ev-
cry man with large black whiskers in the city of bro
therly love- had better shave them oil at he
must expect to be placed in limbo.
A Revenue Cutter has been despatched, il 10 said
from Norfolk in pursuit Of the phantom ship. Blu,
the PhladeIphisns out do all they will hang two or
three suspicious characters and then they will settle
down calmly.

one hour before she was run ashore, by Mr.. Thomas
Johnson, Of the James Avery, pilot boat who ass-
ed Capt Barr fhs wanted pilot. The latter said, II

and stood clear OF the land and the shoals; but the
Jersey eafer the Louisa ashore and had the wind
not been kept down by the fog, she would instantly
have gone to pieces, and all on board pcrished
In coming up 10 the city the James Avery spoke a
schooner, the master Of which informed Mr. j. OF the

daicly landed and walked over the beach to the as.
sis,anse Of those on board the barqus Captain Barr
requested Mr. to make for this city and send assist
