Last Cruise Of the Wasp.
A Thrilling Tale.

By J. L. DOW, ESQ.
| The wind that rings along the wavo,
The clear unshadowcd sun,
| Are torch and trumpet to the brave,
Whose last green wreath is won
The dashing hilow heaved and fell.
Wild shrckcd the midnight gale,
Far, far beneath the morning swell,
Sunk pennon, spar and sail.
70. w. Holmes.
1t was n lovely evening in midsummer, in
tho year 1914, when n sloop ot'war appeared
Off the chops Of the English Channel, and
stood in towards the silent shores of Corn
wall. The gentle breeze from the ocean
now sighed through the neatly fitted rigging
OF the bcllgcreut stranger, and the faint rip
pie at the bows gave evidence that she was
slowly gliding ahead. The waves seemed
to creep in long uubroken sweils before her,
AMI the lingering glow of sunset as it glanc-
ed from summit to dark green summit, SEEM
ed like the smile ofdying day upon the roll
ing prairies ofIllinois.
Her light sails, from sky 10 w1ter-sail,
swellcd beautifully to the rising shores OF
merry England, and the starry ensign of the
free streamed calamity over the quarter deck;
her ports were shut in; silence equal 10 that
of torsaken bark, reigned through her halls
of thunder, while solitary battle lantern
cleaned at the cabin door. The tread ofthe
orderly on duty, alone gave evidence that the
gallant vessel was not a spectre slji,-"some
galleon freighted with the dead."Eto after
hour rolled away. The land now began to
grow more distinct while the haze of morn
ing settled deeper upon the shadowcd water.
At four 4. NJ. light flash appeared where
the shade of the land and the moou-lit hillow
mingled together, and then one after another
the cleaning sails of Il ship of war hove in
sight.
BEAT to quarters r Numbered the com
mander ofthe American vessel, and then as
quick as thought the silence ofthe quiet YES
sci was broken by the shrill notes Of the fife,
the tapping of the drum, the tread of armed
men, the tricing up ofports, the rafting Of
cannon shot in the racks, and the running
out of heavy pieces of Ordnance.
The chase now showed English colors,
turning swiftly upon her heel, and ran up the
private signal ofthe channel fleet.
"Show them the star" cried the immortal
Blal<ely. "Forecastle there"
"Aye, ave-" replied the masters mate.
caro- YOU all ready with the bow gun"
"AII ready, sir"
aLuff it is, sir" said the old salt at the helm.
''Stand by forward-Fire !"
The sloop yawned gracefully at the COM
mand ofthe trumpet, and displayed her en-
sign, which had been hidden by the noun
tain of canvass that lowered before it. A
heavy roar followed a volume offire aud wool
v smoke from the American vessels bows,
and then a sharp and cracking sound from
the chase-as though heavy body had fall
len from great height upon thin lattice of
laths, and had passed through accompanied

ing hody, The poor woman lay silently in
her bed fearing her turn would come next
She heard low mutterngs among the men,
from which she soon gathered that they were
debating whether they should murder her
too, as they feared she might have it in her
power 10 betray them.
One Of them said he was sure she was fast
asleep, aud that there was no occasion to
trouble themselves more: but TO make sure of
this being tue case, one came to her bed side
with candle in his hand, aud the other with
the knife. She kept such perfect command
over herself as not to betray in her counte-
nance any sign that she was concious of what
was going on. The candle was passed close
TO her eyes; the kuite was drawn across close
TO her throat; she never WINGED, or showed by
any movement offeuture or limb, that she
apprehended danger. So the men whisper
ed that she was soundly asleep, that nothing
was feared from her, and went out of the
room, removing tie sack which contained
the body ofthc murdered man.
How long must the night Of horror have
seemed TO that poor lone woman? How
frghtiul was its stiffness and darkness. The
presence ofmind which had SO astonShingly
enabled her to act pl,t TO which she owed
her lite, sustained her all through the trying
scenes which she had yet 10 pass. She did
early hour, but waited till she heard the fans
lily astir for some time. She then went down
and said she believed she had over slept her
scf, in consequence ofb1ing greatly tired
She asked where the pedlar was, and was
told he was in too great hurry to wait for her
hut that he had lett siNpence TO pay 10,
| her breakfast.
/ She sat down composedy to that mcalnnC
/ forced herself TO partakc with apparent APP
petite ofthc food set before her. She appear
ed unconscious of the eyes which, with deer
scrutiny, were fixed upon her. When the
meHl was over, she took leave Of the family
and went ON her way, without the least ap,
/ pearance of discomposure or mistrust. She
/ had proceeded but n short way,when she wa.
Joined 10y two strapping looking women; one
look was sufficient TO convince her that they

DISTRESSING OCcURREScE. We have Just
learned some particulars of n most distress
lug occurrence which took place four or five
weeks since, in or near the township of Bull
strobe in the County ofDrummond, by which
Catholic Priest and one of his parishioners
met with a melancholy death. II appears
that the Priest received message from n
neighboring settlement or 10 miles North
Of This residence, requiring his assistance in
regard 10 some school matters The way
lay through an unsettled township, by new
and unfrequented road. The Priest with two
others, set out towards night, having first
called at a store and without eating, drank
some ardent spirits and took bottle with
them, under the impression probably that it
would assist them TO resist the effects of the
cold and fatigue. Having travelled several
miles through the deep snow and mud, the
three all became bewildered, turned about in
the road uncousciously and walked towards
the place from whence they set out. Soon
after one of the men gave cut and laid down
IN the snow-the Others struggled on for a
while, when the priest gave out also and sank
exhausted to the ground. The third trayell-
ed on for an hour or so, when he found he
had turned upon his track and came back to
the priest, who was still alive but unable TO
speak. He started again in the hope ofreach-
ing the house they had left, but soon gave out
exhausted and benumbed. The morning fol-
lowing several men started from Stanfod, in
the same direction, and came across the
priest just rs he had breathed his last, the Vi
tai parts ot'his body being still warm. The
man who first became exhausted, was found
quite dead-the third had succeeded in reach
ing within mile and a half of a house; he
was found speechless and nearly dead; bu,
being conveyed to the house, he was revived
and related the melancholy facts above reel

ARRIVAL OF TIE GREAT BRITAIN.
The steamship Great Britain arrived at
New York, on Tuesday the 2lst inst, at
s o'clock, A. NJ.
She brought 81 passengers. Her news
is three days later.
The markets appear to be firm.
The sales of cotton, since the sailing Of
the Cambria, were 1900 bales. No
change in prices.
Flour was selling for 26s. and 2ss. duty
paid, and a fair demand
The money market was easy. Stocks
The crops in England and France look
we'll.
A disposition is manifested on all sides TO
give the new ministry a fair trial.
The Son of Mehemet Ali, the heir ap-
parent to the throne of the Pharaohs, con.
tinuesto to excite good deal Of attention in
England. He is feted in all directions-is
present at all sumptuous entertainments Of
which the British metropolis is the scene.
The French Press contain commentaries
on the breaking up Of Sir Robert Peel's
ministry.
La France observes that the fall Of Sir
Robert Peel has the air of triumph, and
this is so much the general opinion mani
tested by the Paris journals that we shall
be extracting from series Of eulogies
without enough variety to render them in
teresting.
Lord Brougham declares his intention OF
opposing the new administration to the ut.
most of his power.
There is no news of importance from
Ireland since the sailing Of the Cambria.
Some ofthose horrid murders, which have
hitherto made that country kind of Acalde-
ma, have been lately perpetrated in the
county of Cavan.

NJ The Washington Union. a,l,d;n,

o. The Washington Union, alluding
to tho statement Of Sir Robert Peel, that
Great Britain had rendered her services as
a mediator between the United Stntes and
Mexico, says: "We have always stated
more than once that no offer Of mediation
had been submitted to our government, and
we feel ourselves authorized to repeat the
declaration. Sir Robert Peel was no doubt
under the impression which he avowed; but
no such offer has been made, and we doubt
very much whether the able Minister Of
Great Britain in Washington has yet re-
ceiyed Instructions to this effect"
