few who can only pride themselves upon
being the patrons of literature and art
who hold periodical assemblies Of the nota-

the amusemenls are conv ersatiou and mu-

the course Of the evening, and sandwiches,
cake, and wine at eleven o'clock. SuPpers

Battle of Plattsburgh.

We extract from an article from the
pen Of William Walsntt, In a numbe. of
Whilneys Requisite. the following an
ecdoie Of the battle Of Pstlsburyh:
The nigh, preceding Tho battle was
stormy and dark. The enemy, taking
advantage Of the weather, advanced in
body, and built battery on prominent
point near the bank of the Saranac, and
within close muskci.shot of all the A.
merican works--so near, indeed, was it,
that their picks could be distinctly heard
as they labored induslriousy through
the night and storm. A young officer,
named McGlassen. proceeded TO the
headquarters of Gen. Macomb, aud
stated the case TO him. asking the priv,
ilcge Of taking the work. The General
replied that it was dangerous under
taking, and that the men could not he
spared as they would be wanted on
The next day. McGIassen acknowl-
edged that all was true the General had
stated, but represented the greater dam
ger OF The enemy occupying such point.
and within musket shot of the Generals
own quarters. General Macomb then
asked him how many he wanted, and he
replied that he would go with as many
as he could get, but tha, he would like
one hundred aud fifty. General Ma
comb said that one hundred and fifty
could not be spared. but that he might
have sixty, and MEG lassen said he would
take the battery with that number. Gen.
Macomb then wrote an order for sixty
men.
McGlassen went TO his post, showed
the order to the commander, and called
for volunteers. Hundreds sprang for.
ward, eager to 60, but he could take no
more than sixty. and from the whole se>
lecled that number. He ordered them,
every man, 10 take the flint from his
musket, aad fix the bayonei. They
then advanced, crossed the river, noises
lessly, aud proceeded quietly through
the small wood TO The work. At cer-
tain distance he ordered halt, and pro.
ceeded cautiously alone TO secure the
sentinel, after succeeding in which, he
returned, divided his little party into two
divisions, one OF which he ordered 10
take circuitous route, so as to attack
on the opposite side ; the other he led
himself, and calling out in laundering
voice TO " charge on the front and rear !"
they rushed, with all the noise possible
for the few number to make, upon the
enemy. They wefe altogether taken by
surprise, and surprising themselves sur
rounded by overwhelming numbers, took
TO their heels and fed like sheep. In
vain their officers tried to Tally them
paDic-siricken. there was no stopping
them and even The officers were borne
sioug with The frightened mass. With.

sen spiked the cannon aud returned to

pose thoroughly, and without losing a

tbs PoPE's PnEsENT-It has been
widely announced that the Pope has
blessed a quantity Of baby linen, and
forwarded it as present TO the Queen
of Spain, for her infant. Some Of our
lady renders are perhaps curious TO see
list OF the articles, which is the gift Of
one who has taken the vows of celiba>
cy. The Madrid Herald of late date
thus satisfies curiosity natural to the
sex most interested in the matter
1.-THE offerings Of the Pope TO the
Princess of the Asturias are enclosed in
a large ebony box, inlaid with pearl,
They consist of sheets, of embroidered
cambric, trimmed with Brussels lace
OF handkerchiefs of the same material
Of pillow cases, trimmed with lace, OF
gold edging Of quantity Of gilt edged
diapers Of several embroidered caps
Of quantity Of all s,rts of infant re-
quirements, either embroidered or firing
ed with gold ; and cradle lined white
walered satin. upon which are WORKED
the Pope's arms. All these articles are
of an extreme finish and delicacy."
