4 THRILLING SKETCH.

The war had broken out between Eng
land and France; Bonaparte had broken
the treaty Of Amiens; all was cons,erna-
ton among our countrymen in India, par
ticularly those who had valuable cargoes
at sea, and those who were about to return
to their native land. was one Of the
latter class; SO joyfully accepted pas

yet remaining neutral in our quarrel.
So faras luxury went: certainly found
her very inferior to our Indiamen; but as
sailor, she was far superior, and in point
Of discipline, her crew was as well regu-
lated, and as strictly commanded, as the
crew Of a British man-of-war. In fact,
such order, regularity and implicit obedi-
ence, never could have believed to exist
on board merchantmen.
The chief mate was one of the finest
young men ever saw. He had lust been
promoted to his present post-not from
the mere fact Of his being the owners son,
but really from sterling merit. He was
beloved by the crew, amongst whom he
had served, as is usual in the Danish SER
vice I'VE years, and was equally popular
with his brother officers and the passen-
gers returning to Europe.
The only bad character we had on board
was cook, a swarthy, Unlocking Portu-
giese, who had managed somehow or other
daily to cause some disturbance amongst
the Seamen. For this he had often been
rePrinnanded; and the evening when this
sketch opens he had just been released
from irons, into which he had been order
ed for four and twenty hours BY the chief
mate. for having attempted to poison a
sailor who had offended him. In return
for having punished him thus severely the
irritated Portuguese swore to revenge
himself on the first officers.

yard arm. This however, was not the
case; and we all, therefore, felt puzzled
as to the meaning of the scene.
We were not long kept in doubt. The
second mate read from the paper which
he held in his hand the full powers dele
gatee to the captain to hold courts martial,
and carry their sentences into effect, the
law in similar cases, &c. Sc; and called
on the prisoner to know whether he would
consent to be tried in the Danish language.
To this he willingly assented; the court
was declared open.
The flag was suddenly Withdrawn from
the face Of the corpse; and even the mons
ter who had struck the blow shuddered
as he beheld the calm. almost seraphic
look Of him whom he had stricken.
The trial now proceeded in the most
solemn manner. Evidence of tbs crime
was adduced, and the deed clearly brought
home to the accused. / confess that my
blood turned cold when ! saw the knife
produced which had been used as the ms
trument of the murder, and the demon
like smile Of the prisoner as he beheld it,
stained as it was with the blood Of one
who had been forced by his duty to pun
ish him.
After strict investigation, the captain
appealed to all present, when the prisoner
was unanimously declared guilty.
The officers put on their hats and the
Ecaptain proceeded to pass sentenced

Your reporters detailed for the purpose, after two
days attendance in Baltimore, for the specific OBJ
ject of recording Mr. Webster's opinions of the
Philadelphia nominations, ask leave to report:
That, on Monday evening, the rain prevented
the meeting, and it was postponed till the follow
ing, or last evening; that on Tuesday morning,
Mr.. Webster (having been troubled for some days
with the prevailing complaint of the season. was
found SO far indisposed as to be recommended by
his physicians to forego altogether for the present,
his purpose of campaign speech in Baltimore.
And he did so, and, promising on some future oc-
casion to repair the disappointment, he left in
the two O'Clock boat last afternoon for Phiadel-
phia, on his way home, with his family.
The meeting, however, was held, and the night
being fine there was a congregation OF several
thousands of people collected in Monument square
against the appointed hour: The Balhmorians ex-
pected help from Washington but of all the
speakers they had to spare out of congress, only
Richard w. Thompson, of Indiana, went over

night, talking by the hour to the multitude, amid
constant cheers, laughter, and applause. (See

II is thought by some that Mr.. Webster did moi
very deeply regret his inability to address the

that he would Just as soon first consult the pulse Of

Death of DIR. Durkee, &c.
Charles F. Cloud, editor of the Baltimore Argus,
has succeeded in securing the democratic nomina-
ton for the office of Sheriff, which nomination is
usually considered equivalent to an election. AL
though an untitled private in the Maryland militia,
he out-generaed his two principal officers, Colo
mel Davies and Colonel Hickman, both of whom
were candidates for the nomination. His nomi-
nation gives great satisfaction to the wings, who
think he will be much easier beat than either of his
competitors would have been, the nomination ha-
wing been secured by packing the ward meetings
with the friends of the nominee.
The laying of the cornerstone of the Washington
Monument, on the fourth of July, at Washington,
will attract an immense concourse of citizens from
this city. No less than four Of our military COM
panies have determined TO be present. and large
association ofyoung men are forming for the same
purpose.

physicians, died yesterday, after lingering illness
of several months His disease Is said to have
baffled the skill of the whole fraternity of the city.
