A MAINDECKER's DESCRIPTION OF A FLoGGING.
The boatswans mate is ready, with coat off

Carefully spreading the cords with the fingers of
his left hand, the executioner throws the cat over

now uncovered herculean shoulders of the man.
His flesh creeps it reddens as if blushing at the

until the first mate weared with the cruel en-
ploymen', gives way to second. Now two doz-

robbed him of all self-respect; there he hangs, a
pitied, self-despised, grooming, bleeding wretch;

boatswan, sulenly return to their duties ID
Such was the scene witnessed on board the
Macedonia on the passage from London to Spit

scene at sea, only carried sometimes to greater
length of severity. Sad and sorrowful were my
feelings witnessing it; thoughts Of the friend
ly warnings of my old acquaintance filled my
mind, and / inwardly wished myself once more

Vain wish should have believed the warn
ing voice when it was given. Believe me, young
man. you will often breathe that wish, if you ever
wander from fathers house.
Flogging in the navy is more severe than in the
army though it istoo bad to be tolerated there,
or indeed any where. Other modes of punish
ment might be successfully substituted. which
would deter from misconduct, without destroying
the self respect Of the man. | hope the time will

From yonder green valley what legions advance!
What sounds from the rocks are rebounding;
On the banner of freedom the sunbeams glance,
And loud the shrill bugle is sounding.
And if you ask what you there behold!
IT'S gathering for HARRY, the true and the hold
See see the proud phaanx arrayed for the fight,
All fear from our bosoms dispelling!
Our true-hearted Wings maintaining their right,
And the glad shouts of freemen swelling.
And if you ask what you there behold!
IT'S gathering for HARRY the true and the bold.
Before our brave legons the traitor, the knaue,
And hosts of the spoilers are quailing!
Our CHAMPION is destined our country to save,
And freedom shall live though despots assalling
From age to age it shall be told,
