THE ART OF (NoT) SINKING

Why do so few young ladies learn TO swim
They miss 1t sadly, in such neglect of an art at
once easy, so healthful, so invigorating and so
useful. We know of more than one of the most
fashionable bellies of New York to whom the GEN.
sure for this neglect has application and who
could on emergency, their lovers, if neces-
sary, as is related by the Erpress day or two
ago, which tells of " an incident which occurred
at Glen Cove yesterday, and which does infinite
credit TO two or three persons there, one of whom
is young lady, but little more than Id wears of
age. young man. while bathing there, got be-
yond his depth, and being unable to swim was
sinking fast, when he was perceived by Miss
Willis, daughter of VIM. III. Willis, of this city,
The girl was an expert swimmer, and being in
the water at the time, quickly as thought she
darted for the sufferer The drowning man
caught the girl with all the strength of a dying
man. and the girl in turn made an effort to extri-
cate herself by biting the clenched hands that
held her fast. She unable to do so, and both
were about TO be drowned, when they were hap
PLY discovered by some laboring men near by and
saved"
Why do not the ladies who preside over the
numerous extensive boarding schools in this city,
while they teach their pretty pupils so many
peaceful accomplishments, as well as more solid
requirements, place it also in their power at least
TO save their children, if the occasion of sudden
fall into the water should ever make it necessary
They may not perhaps be tempted into the water
TO save either lover, husband or self, but what
woman would not be willing TO learn 10 swim
even in the L" lake of brimstone'' to rescue her
child Thomas's floating bath at Castle Garden
affords all the facility needed for the purpose
and, indeed, in its different divisions, leaves no
excuse for any body TO remain ignorant of the art
of swimming-to say nothing of the cost and
pleasant refuge it affords from the diurnal heats

days are compelled to endure

LATER FROM MEXICO.

We are indebted. says the Mobile Herald of
the 18th inst, 10 gentleman of this city for the
following extract of letter received by him from
Pensacola, dated the lth instant:
"The French brig Mecurie has Just arrived
from Vera Cruz, bringing dates of the 9th ult.
No war had been declared at that time, but the
Americans were all leaving.
"There is another brig just coming in. She
is supposed to be the POrpoise."
The Water Witch was to have left Vera Cruz
on the 18th or goth ut., and ought 10 have been
at New Orleans some days ago.
As to war, we have it on good authority, says
the Mobile Herald, that no declaration will be
made until Mexico shall have received an official
notification of the contamination of annexation.
Months will elapse before this can be DONE That
such declaration will be made is now reduced
TO certainty. In the interim Mexico will be
able to see what she can do in the way of making
something more destructive than mere shooting
of paper pellets.

SEAMEN.

We recently mentioned the depIorable state of
our commercial marine, and the scarcity of sea-
men necessary to our national defence, GROWING
out of the anti commercial policv which has been
pursued since The war. The heavy tax upon
shipping and ship building, and all the discour-
agemens of commerce. have kept down our
marine TO point very little above that which it
occupied 25 years ago. In answer 10 this the
Cypress states:
The .Ne,rs ought to know that one Of IFS own
party-Ttomas III. Benton-has been doing all
in his power for many years past, TO break down
the efficiency of our naval and merchant marine
by destroying the best and only good nursery of
seamen we have, in the fishermen of New Eng
land
"The only good nursery!" Had we met that
assertion in Chinese primer, w would instant
ly have ascribed its origin to the Cypress, be-
cause it is one of those reckless assertions in def
ance of all truth and reason which peculiarly
characterize that print. New England employs
l2,OOO men in fisheries. There are 900
American seamen in the foreign trade, 10000
in coasting vessels, and Is 900 in whaers Yet
the cod and mackerel fisheries are the only good
nurseries," according to the Cypress, and with
eqnal hardihood it alleges that Col Benton tried
TO 6 break down the efficiency Of the naval SER
vice. That is to saw, there are imported into
the United States near 100000 bushels of salt.
which paid 10 cents duty of this 100000
bushels were consumed by fishers. who obtained
drawback on exported fish equal to the duty on
the salt they used. The farmers, and pork and
beef packers used the other 100000 bushels,
and were allowed drawback on their exports
of beef and pork. Col, Benton simply proposed
that the salt duty should be repealed and with it
of course the drawback. Thus all who use salt
would be put on the footing of the fishers. and
they would be better off than before. He also

benefit them, and this the Express, with nefTabe
impudence. calls " seeking to destroy the only
good nursery for seamen.''

PRTVATEERING

We are not little surprised to see among our
contemporaries, some who seem to have become the
apoOgists, if not the advocates of doctrines upon
this subject most Numerically opposed to our in
terests, and we think to the interests of humanity
throughout the world. The position assumed is
none other, than that we are bound to respect the
authority and character of foreigners, who may
choose to volunteer under letters Of nsarque and
reprisuI to destroy our commerce and carry on the
business Of prvaeerng, for the purpose of plumber
ing. Now take these principles of National
law to be clearly settled that all nations are bopnd
in time Of peace TO do to other nations all the
good, and in time of war as little harm as thew can
do, consistently with their own real and proner
interests. That whatever unnecessarily increases
the evils of war is to be reprobated as in violation
of the law of Nature and of Nations What. let
Us ask. is to be the effect of the doctrine that
Foreign Privaeers are to be protected by COM

A VALUABLE TABLE.

James M. Garnet, Esq, of Essex county. Va,

Iable.-A box "a inches by 16 inches square
and y inches deep, will contain barrel, or TO-
