The commander who had been pre-

compliments to General Santa Anna, and

The time draws nigh, dear John, thai

sci is not superabundant. No one is

It is not all gold, dear son, that glitters
Ihave seen many star from heaven fall,
and many a staff upon which men have
leaned break. Therefore give thee this
advice, the result of my experience:
Attach not thy heart 10 any transitory
thing. The truth comes not TO us, dear
son; we must seek for it. That which
you see, scrutinize carefully; and in re-
gard to things unseen and eternal, rely
on the word Of God. Search no one so
closely as thyself. Within US dwells
the Judge who never deceives, and whose
voice is more to us than the applause Of
the world, and more than all the wisdom
of the Egyptians and Greeks. Resolve,
my son, to do nothing TO which this voice
is opposed. When You think and pro-
ject, strike on your forehead and ask for
his counsel. lie speaks at first low, and
Iisps as an innocent child; but if you

and be willing for her sake to be hated;
but know that thy individual cause is
not the cause Of truth, and beware that
they do not ,become confounded. Do
good for thy own satisfaction and care
not what follows. Cause no gray hairs
to any one; nevertheless, for the right
even gray hairs are to be disregarded.
Help and give willingly when thou
hast, and think no more of thyself
for it; and If thou hast nothing. let
thy hands be ready with a drink
of cold water, and esteem thy
self for that no less. Say not always
what thou knowest, but know always
what thou sayest. MOI the apparent
deVout, but the truly deyout man

who has The fear of God in his heart
is like the sun that shines and warns,
though it does not speak. Do that
which is worthy of -recompense, and

squndroa-santa Anna Passing the
Rlaekadiuz.

Lieut.. Semmes, in his "Seryice
Afloat and Ashore" gives the follow.
ing interesting account Of the passage
oI Santa Anna through the Ameri-
can blockading squadron at Vera
Cruz. 1t will be recollected that the
commander of the squadron was es.
pecially instructed by the President
to allow the Mexican chieftain 10
pass freely:
"Early in August, while the squad
ron was lying at anchor under Green
Island, keeping watch and ward over
the enemy's city and castle Of Vera
Cruz, the seaman on the lookout al
the masthead OF the ST. Mary's, then
cruising on the blockade, deserted the
smoke OF a steamer. As this was
not the regular day for the appear
ance Of any Of the English mail
steamers-which had been permitted
TO pass in and out Of the beleagured
port without question, the English
Government pledging itself for their
faithful conduct as neutrals-the
smoke OF a steamer was a novelty in
this now lonely and deserted part Of
the Mexican gulf. The st. Mary's,
in due time, placed herself in a posi-
ton TO intercept the stranger 10 her
approach to the city, and, as the lat
ter came up within hailing distance,
she ordered her to "heave to-" while
a boat was being sent on board Of
her. The boat being in-readiness in a
few minutes lieutenant jumped into
her, and, with a few strokes of the
oars from the sinewy arms of his
seamen, placed himself alongside the
steamer. 5l-ilrrr..r f--
The steamer being evidently a
merchant vessel, the lieutenant was
surprised to find himself received
with much ceremony and courtesy
at the gangway. Making bis way
on deck and explaining the object OF
his visit TO the captain, he was intro
duced into the cabin, where he was
ushered into the society Of a circle Of
gentlemen, evidently Spaniards or
Mexicans IRON their olive complex
ions, black hair and eyes, and pOin-
ted and curled mustachios. 1t was
obvious, also, at the first glance, that
most, If not all these gentleman, al
though dressed in plain or citizens
clothes, were military men, and per-
sons of bearing and distinction. AZ
ter moments pause, the captain, al
though he had purposely prepared a
surprise Tor the boarding officer,
turned towards him. and making a
graceful motion with his right hand
al the same time, In the direction of one Of
the gentlemen, who, though Of ordinary
height and fgurs. seemed, BY his com
manding air and manner, to be the chieI
of the party, said, "Allow me to present
You, sir, to General AatOnio Lopez de

back at first in little surprise, bus soon
recovered himself, advanced cordially

A correspondent Of the Albany
Evening Journal, says

-A a correspondent OF use Alodu,
Evening Journal, says
In one Of my letters some timt
since, | referred 10 a matter which
had excited much interest here; tht
opening Of the lock Of celebrated
English Inckmaker by the name o
Chu66s, by an American by the name
OF Hobbs, who has on exhibition the
celebrated American lock patented
by Mr.. Newell. Chubbs published
several articles in the Times, giving
challenge 10 Hobbs or any one else
TO open his locks. Mr.. Hobbs pro-
tessed readiness TO try, in tho pre-
sence of respectable gentlemen, other
locks OF Chubbs. On Tuesday last,
22d inst, Mr.. Hobbs, in presence oI
several gentlemen, opened one ol
Chubbs' locks, which was placed on
the door of one of the vaults Of the
State Paper Office OF Her Majesty's
Government. The time occupied in
opening the lock was twenty-five
minutes, and in ten minutes more he
re-Iocked if, leaving il apparently in
as good condition as when opened.
This matter has assumed the more in
teFest from the gasconading tone
which has been assumed here by the
English papers, and they will trust
be satisfied in this case, as in that oi

be beat.
The statement of the trial, as given
by the English themselves, is, that a
number Of gentlemen were invited to
be. e.present at 81 Great George street,
Westminster, to meet Mr.. Hobbs for
the purpose Of affording him an op-
portunity of operating upon the lock
which some months since was placed
upon the door Of one Of the vaults
Of the State Paper Office. Sew
eral gentlemen assembled, among
whom were Mr.. Porter, Secretary ol
the Board OF Trade; Mr.. Peabody.
Mr.. Schenck, Engineer; Mr.. Bell,
and others. The lock having been
examined and found TO /, be fairly
locked, Mr.. Hobbs produced from bis
waistcoat pocket two or three small
and simple looking tools, and within
TWENTY-FIVE minutes from the time ol
commencing, the bolt OF the lock

ftwas then suggested that Mr.. Hobbs
should turn the bolt back again, and
