T. W. KING Chief Officer Of the Washington.
On board Of the Washington New York harbor May II,
1850.
The circumstances incident upon the rescue
Of the passengers of the Winchester have been
detailed, and the affair reflects great credit
upon the officers and crew of the steamship
Washington. But there were some eccentri-
cites on the part of the officers of that steam
ship, when she was at quarantine, which de-
serve public reprimand, and which would have
excused errors much more fragrant than those
which P. W. King charges upon the HERALD.
In opposition to all precedent, our ship news
collector was refused permission to board the
Washington. This was offensive to the public,
who have the right to expect the earliest inteli-
gence in all matters OF public Interest," On
account Of the conduct of the officers OF
The Washington, the interesting intelligence
which she brought was withheld from the
public during fourteen or fifteen hours; and
when they did receive it from the HERALD, it
was given precisely as our reporters received
il from the officers of the ship. They now en-
dcavor TO throw the blame o. their own blum
ders upon the HERALD.
We were aware that the Washington was a
slow vessel, but we did not imagine that her
officers were so excessively slow as to keep ina
portant news fifteen hours, md then, twenty
fcur hours after its publication TO deny that
their previous statements were true.
The mere fact Of the publication Of the cor
reciion IS matter Of no consequence, and for
the sake Of correct news, to obtain which is the
reward of all our labor, we feel glad that il has
been Published, and give it prominent place

on, in conversation with me, while the
grants were depending, for the bill was
passed in the Christmas holidays, when
I had gone to Virginia, and took the op-
portunity of calling upon that great man
which his regard for liberty, abroad as
well as at home, and his far-seeing sa-

retire. The Duke of Orleans, brave
general in the republican armies, at the
commencement of the revolution, was
handed to the throne by Lafayette, and
became the ''citizen king, surrounded by
republican institutions And is this.
Lafayette was constant and sincere. He
was republican himself, but deemed a
constitutional monarchy the proper gov
ernment for France, and labored in that
form in tie person of Louis XVI. as well
as that of Louis Philippe.
Loaded with honor, and with every
feeling of heart gratifed in the noble re-

Horseback Exercise.

Riding on horseback is, perhaps, OF
ali others, the most manly, elegant and
efficient form of exercise. In the first
place, it cannot'be taken without being out
of doors; then it enables you to breathe a
larger amount of fresh air than if walking
because you pass through a agreater space
in less time, and consequently greater
number Of layers, or rather sections of
fresh air, come in contact with the nostrils,
with less fatigue. Another advantage is,
that all the muscles of the body are ex-
ercised in moderation, and to certain ex-
tent, equally SO. And then again, while
thus exercising, and while every step for
ward gives you a fresh draught of pure
outdoor air, the mind is entertained by
every variety Of objects, new things being
constantly presented. The only thing to
be guarded against is feeling of chilli
ness; this is essential, for every chill is an
injury; whether man be sick or we'll, a
chill will necessarily be succeeded by a
fever, and fever is disease
Horseback exercise, to be healthful
and highly beneficial, should be active-a
"hand gallop," or trot; and, if practi-
cable, different road should be travelled
every day, SO that the mind may be di-
verted by novelties, and thus compelled
away from bodily ailments.
The English, as a nation. are a stout,
robust, hearty race. The nobility have a
long list of names who have lived to the
age of seventy, and even ninety years.
but horseback exercise with them is ma
tional amusement many of them make a
ride on horseback as much matter OF
course as daily dinner Almost the on
ly gentleman seen on horseback in New
Orleans. is English merchant, showing the
power of national habit, and its inhu-
ence abroad, as well as at home.
If parents could be made to compre-
hend the full advantages Of constant
breathing of pure Of air to their children,
and would be at pains to impress their
young minds with its high Importance;
We're they to pay more attention to their
physical training, requiring them to take
active exercise, four hours, every day, on
foot and on horseback, there would be
some probability that, Notwithstanding
heats and impurities of a city atmosphere
those children would grow up in health
fulness, and live to good old age, in
stead Of paleing away, as they do, long
before their prime, growing prematurely
old, from a constitution blasted in the
bud.
