ACROSS EEHE OCEAN.

The last twelve months nave "Nnessed many TX
elements in the Metropolis OF the world-events
before which The sickly inventions OF romance. even
including the yellow Covered School Of Litera
tQre and the iinely-wrought incidents Of the novel
ISL sink into insignifcance. New-York is emphat-
ically City Of Exctenents. Our population, liv-
log as it were in the very heart OF the world feel
strongly the pulsations which originating here
agitate the remoes extremi,ies OF the system; and
by being constantly in motion and crowded with all
kinds of sensations, the energy Is excited to
it's highest possible capacity-dynamized, as the
Homuopathis,s would ray, to its t~othousand'h
potcncy-crealng fever which is constantly boil
ing and eiiervescing Thus it has passed into
proverb among the stad people of Philadelphia
Boston. aud the other beautiful and romantic coun
try towns by which the Metropolis is surrounded,
that New. Yorker is always crazy Perhaps he is;
bat every body is badly of in this respect as
his neighbor we all get charmingy together, and
never suspect that we are not reel straight iorward,
people.
This little piece Of Physiology and Natural His
tory being satisfactorily disposed of-and you ill
remember lha, Godfrey Crayou began the History
of New York with dissertation on Cosmogony-
we will remark that Of the many excitemcnts sui
iered and enjoyed in New'York during the past
twelve months few have given rise 10 more mystery,
speculation, curiosity anxiety gossip, wonder and
astonshmeni than the voyage otthc Pilot boat Will
LIAM J. RoMER across the Atlantic And this is by
no means surprising. The bare idea OF such tiny
Queen Mab's barque this starting off on trip
over the Atlantic in the midst of Winter, in il
self we'll calculated TO excite curiosity and strongly
enlist public sympathy. Such daring enterprise,
we venture TO assert, cannot be found In all the re-
cords of navigation and the gallant and dauness
voyagers who were engaged in it have purchased
Immortality at the expense OF a few weeks OF suiter-
ing and prvation, and as the Just reward oil their
courage and perseverance. The Mysterious Clip
per having returned safely into port after many
had almost given her up lost, and thus become as
it were permanently identified with the history OF
the times, we have thought that full and complete
account of her voyage compiled carefully from her
Log ana the notes of The Man in the Glazed Cap,
would be an acceptable Offering TO the public.
TO show how universal the excitement re-
yarding this vessel and her voyage, we copy the
following articles from the various principal journ
ols published about the time other departure. They
are interesting as mere matters Of record as well "a
nm amusing illustration of the variety OF style and
talent employed upon the columns OF The Metropoii
