GRRYTowN, Sept. ii, 1851.
The 10th day of July dawned with its usual splea-
dor myriads Of feathered songsters filled the air
with Their sweet melodies the placid waters in the
Bay of Bluefelds were undisturbed by a single
ripple and the little niggers sat on their launches,
grhinning with pleasure. and waiting for sunrise
the spell was broken The sound of . horn was
heard from the distant hills startling the quiet cit
zens of Bluefeids from their slumbers. The signal
was answered from every hill and rivulet in the
vicinity. These sounds were followed by the bark
ing of dogs, screechng of parrots and bleating Of
goats, until all the discordant sounds known 81
earth seemed mingled together in sweet confusion
The martial music approached nearer and nearer,
and increased in volume, until fancied that Pha-
roah had risen from his slumbers, and was about to
enter Bluefelds in his flaming chariot to be present
three hundred halfnaked Indians made their ap-
pearance at the main entrance that leads to the
palace. The Princess had arisen from her couch Of
tiger skins, snd was standing at the m Ain gate Of
the palace, barefooted, and devouring q raw plan
tain The King soon made his appearance, ana
addressed his subjects in the following eloquent
language :-"Me big King My sister 60 marry
niger Me no like it. Nisgssrr disgrace indian
could say no more. Overcome with grief, he en-.
tered the palace. threw himself upon pile Of dried
hides, and there relieved the anguish Of bis soul ~
Messy ven" G me- bic Kur feel so much bad cos
my sister marry niger, how common Mexican feel
when hun dog die r.
The royal palace was tastefully decorated with
highly scented hides. Every preparation being
made for the celebration, the Princess entered the
palace hall unattended, except by her pet goat.
Her beautiful black hair, creased with possum fat,
hung in rrousion over her shoulders and contr
finely with her splendid dress, which was made Of q
coffee sack. On the middle finger of her right
hand she wore rich and costly tin ring, msds
from a sardine box. The guests were al assem-
bled, but the happy lever had not yet arrived.
The Princess became impatient, and went to seek
him She found him playing at marbles. She
accosted me thus" Jim, weddin all ready an you
no cum ~ Jim replied "that he had cum to tho
clssion not to marry cos if he did Victory woodn't
Civ her no more penshun." The Princess was ter
riied: but lucky thought struck her. Jim"
said she, "bimeby my buther die; then you'll be
King" The words had their effect. Jim threw
his arms round the neck Of the Princess; their lips
pulling bull out Of the mire They proceeded to
tho palace. The King had thrown OF his India
rubber crown, left the throne (Which was whis-
key barreD, and vamosed.
The ceremony being over, bull was led forth to
be slaughtered The poor creature was supported
on each side by two stout men, whilst third gave
the fatal blow. The animal yielded up his life
like good bull, and as all gentemanly bulls ought
to do, whose carcasses are to be devoured on like
occasions.
The throne was now tapped; the whiskey flowed
came to an end; the last drop Of whiskey was
drained from the Thrones tremendous blast was
blown from the rams horns of the Mexicans Of the
Kings household, and the grand party broke up.
Jim is luxuriating at Bluefelds, waiting for the
King to die. He says is his contention to visit
the Nited states rs soon as de equinomical storm
be ober."
