JACK ASHORE AND IN FUNDS.-The Boston
Chronicle says that on the Sth inst the crew
OF the u. >. frigate Cumberland, to the number
OF hve hundred men, were paid off and dis
charged The sum required for this purpose
was about Sl55, 900. The business of paving
On commenced at ten o'clock and was conclu-
ded at one. Commodore Gregory, who had
etfectually prevented all intercourse of the
land sharks with the sailors from the moment
OF the arrival Of the frigate, took the precau-
ton not to admit an individual of that class
into the yard.
The expedicnts Of the sharperS to gain ad-
mission were rather smart. Some of them
S''ught to gain admittance by changing their
dress and assuming the characters of yerdapt
mem from the interior, but the ruse was to no
pu rpose. Com. Gregory, who was himself
once IA man before the mast" was disposed
to protect the men from the operations of the
land sharks. All of the crew were perfectly
sober. There were men of all ages-fron TWEEN
ty to sixty years, Many of their relatives
were present, and provided them with car
riages to convey them to boarding houses and
their homes.
Some of the men received eight and nine
hundred dollars, pile larger than thew
had ever seen before in their lives. They had
been absent in the Mediterranean three years
and three months, and received of course SIS
per month. One old sailor informed us that
on that station, n man could enjoy himself in
port whole week tor single dollar. He did
not, however, define his idea of enjoyment
Captain HARDWOOD stood by and saw all his
men paid off, occasionally giving a few words
of wholesome advice. In the afternoon about
200 of the crew proceeded to the Old Colony
depot to take the cars for home.
Orders have not yet been received in regard
to the Cumberland, but her stores are now be-
ing removed for the purpose Of having her in
readiness for survey

He called the Institution the '.child of his af-
