MANCHESTER CoTToN MARKET, April "a
Confidence is again returning, though perhaps
not qnite so quickly as some might wish, but
slow and sure is a good maxim. There has
been great frmness in every department Of the
gray cloth market this week; and in some cases
a trihing advance, and on 7-Ss most respectable
houses demanding Sd advance, about equal
to per cent. The demand for this description
of goods is indeed large, and, from appearances,
likely to continue, as buyers are now anxious to
contract, but which manufacturers slow to
meet. Should the staple continue low for some
time to come, large, steady remunerating trade
may be with confidence expected. In the Yarn
market, too, there is much more life, and as
was the case last week, any thing adapted foi
the east, is ready of sale at the very full rate:
of last week, and in a few cases for very prime
1-S at above those rates. There is now more

OLD IRONSIDES ON A LEE SHORE.
BY AN EYE WITNESS

1t was at the close Of a stormy day in the
year 1885, when the gallant frgate Consti-
tuition, under the command Of Captain Elliot
having on board the late Edward Livingston,
late minister at the Court Of France, and his
family, and manned by nearly five hundred
souls, drew near to the chops of the English
Channel For four days she had been beat
ing down from Plymouth, and on the fifth,
at evening, she made her last tack from the
French coast,
The Polynesian. [volume] (Honolulu (Oahu), Hawaii) 1840-1841, 1840-06-27

The watch was set at eight, p M. The
Captain came OH deck soon after, and hay
ing ascertaincd the bearing of Sicily, gave
orders to keep the ship full and Bye re-
marking at the same time to the officer of
the deck, that he might make the light on
the lee beam, but, he stated, he thought it
more than probable that he would pass it
without seeing it. He then turned in. as
did most of the oilers, and the starboard
watch
AT a quarter past nine, p NJ. the ship
headed west by compass, when the call Of
"light D !" was heard from the foretopsail-
yard.
"Where away" asked the officer of
the deck.
Three points on the lee bow" replied
the look-out-man; which the unprofessional
reader will readily understand to mean very
nearly straight ahead. AT this moment the
captain appeared and took the trumpet.
"CaIl all hands, was his immediate order
"All hands!' whsted the boatswain.
with the long, shrill summons familiar to the
ears of all who have ever been on board of
Il man-ol-war
=" All hands - screamed the boatswain's
mates; and ore the last echo died away, all
but the sick were upon deck.
The ship was staggering through a heavy
swell from the Bay Of Biscay: the gale,
which had been blowing several DAYS. had
increased to a severity that was not TO be
made light of. The breakers, where Sir
CIoudesley Shovel and his fleet were de-
stroyed in the days Of Queen Anne, sang
their song of dcrth before, and the Dead
Mans Ledge replied in hoarser notes be-
hind us. To go ahead seemed to be death,
and to attempt to go about was sure de-
struction
The first thing that caught the eve of the
Captain was the tured mainsail, which he
had ordered to be carried throughout the
cvening-the hauling up of which, contrary
TO the last order that he had given on leaving
the deck, had caused the ship to fall off to
Reward two points, and had thus led her
INTO position on lee shore, upon which
a strong gale was blowing her, in which the
chance of safety appeared to the stoutest
nerves almost hopeless. That sole chance
consisted IN standing on, to carry us through
the breakers of Sicily, or by close Craze
along their outer ledge. Was this destined
to be the end of the gallant old ship, conse-
Grated by so many prayer and blessing
from the heart of nation?.
why Is the mansail up, when ordered
1t set - cried the Captain in tremendous
voice
"tinding that she pitched her bows I'M
der, | took it in, under your general order,
sir, that the officer of the deck should carrv
sail according to his discretion" replied the
Lieutenant in command.
"Heave the log" was the prompt COM
mand to the masters mate. The log was
thrown.
"How fast does she 60 -
Five knots and half sir.''
" Board the main tack, SIR"
So She will not bear it," said the officer
Of the deck.
