THTRTY-THREE CHEERS FOR CAP
TAIN BARTLETT.

The following account of the alteration
between Captain Bartlett of the shin Claren.
don and the officer of the British steamer
Buzzard is furnished by Captain Nichols, of
the baIque John Howe, who obtained il from
Captain Bartlett, and is in substance as fol-
lows: "The steamer ran in rs near as was
deemed prudent, and then fired several guns,
(blank shots,) which Captain Bartlett under
stood, of course, to be a request for him to
show his coors. He paid no attention, how
ever, to the demand. In short time he saw
two boats lowered away and manned by fifty
men, with any quantity of small-arms, when
he Captain b. took his ensign and laid it on
the cabin table. Soon after the boats arrived
alongside, and the commander Of the steamer
in person came on board, when Captain B.
received him politely, but protested against
the proceedings and would not allow any of
the men to come on board, threatening to
shoot the first that attempted it. Captain b.
and the British commander then proceeded to
the cabin, when he Che commander of the
stenmer,) commanded him to hoist his en-
sign. He replied; "there it lies upon The ia
bic, and if your commission is worth enough,
hoist it yourself"
The British officer, pistol in hand, COM
menced pacing the cabin, saying that he
would seize the vessel and take her to the
port of New York; to which Captain B. re-
piled, that was exactly what he wanted him
to do; when, whether by intent or accident
Capt. b. was struck on the breast by the
hand which held the pistol. Captain B. then
presented his pistol and said: "Sir, keep your
hands off me, or will shoot you" The Off
Ger replied: al did not lay my hands on YOU"
when Captain B. rejoined "You did, SIR
The officer inquired if the sugar on board
belonged to Capt. B.; when he replied-"I
never owned a hOgshead of sugar in my life"
The same question was asked in regard to
the launches, (bOats for conveying the sugar
from the shore on board and the same reply
given. The officer, completely cowed, pro-
ceeded on deck, and, after reaching the deck,
in perfect rage beloved forth-"Lower
away the gangway ladder" when Captain B.
quietly said :-"Sir, did you order that ladder
to be lowered, or did you request it to be
lowered ?" when the officer said-"Wil you
please have it lowered" Captain d. then
gave orders for it to be done, and the British
er departed without having accomplished his
nnrnnsp

SERIOUS APPREHENsloNs OF WARE; IS
said, at Washington, that Lord Napier has
given it ms his opinion that the Derby Minis
try will take ito stand upon the fright Of
visitation" rs absolutely essential to the
suppression of the slave trade-a work to
which both governments are soIemny
pledged. If so, the President has declared
his purpose to give orders to seize and bring
into port all British armed vessels, attemp-
ting to carry out such mistaken notions.-
So, should these statements be true, and the
British government does not rccedc, COLI
sion can scarcely be avoided.

The English Bin Illustrated.

Mr.. ]. W. Gordon, in recent speech at
Danvillc, in this State, illustrated the
operation of the English Bill, and the ''free
choice" conferred by it, in the following
humorous and capital style:
"An old lady, said Mr.. Gordon, 'shad
thirty-two daughters and sable gentleman
she called Cuffy. Cufy and thirty-one of
the daughters were in the house, and one of
the daughters, the younger, fair virgin,
was out in the wilderness. y storm arose,
and the young damscl directed her footsteps
towards her mothers house for protection.
The thunder rolled above her head, and the
sharp lightnings flashed across the heavens
as she reached the door and demanded ad-
mittancc An old eunuch, James, met her
at the threshold and told her she should ex-
ercise her own pleasure about coming in
she was perfectly free to do as she pleased
but, says he, if you come in nosp, YOU
must sleep with Cuffy; if you will not, you
must remain out till YOU have grown older
and stronger.
The fair daughter spurncd the degrading
condition and returned to the wilderness
again, and forthwith the old lady and her
other daughters threw up their hands and
shouted, ''Hurrah for Popular Sovereignty
the daughter has been allowed to do as she
pleased, and refused to come ini" "And
vet, said Mr. G., ''the old lady turned round
and bawlcd, You're in favor of negro
| equality-you want to associate with mig
gers, aud make them your equals"
And thus acts the Government towards
Kansas. The Administration were willing
to allow Kansas to come in eff she would
agree to sleep with CRffy;" if not, she must
! stay out till her population increases to
$4,000.

BefrothaI

There was, in last Fridays Gazette, an
advertisement the like of which has rarely
if ever, appeared in an English paper We
refer tic advertisement of Bctrothal,H y
which would take place at the house of the
lady's father, where the "high-contracting
parties would be happy to see their friends.
The3custom is almost unknown in America
where engagements are gencrally short, and
marriages occur before pa and Ma know
that the tender passion exists and is recipro-
Gated. But IN Europe, and in Germany par
ticularly, the bctrothal is as much of an ia
stitution as the bridal is here When the
various difficulties that bcsct lovers there, OF
birth, of nation, Of means and prospects, are
duly surmounted, and the parties are ready
to plight their faith, the day for the bctroth-
al is said, and the friends are notified Of
the fact through the columns Of newspa-
per- generally. When the company is as
selnbled, an appropriate ceremony of plight
lug their troth is performed by the lovers,
aud then an entertainment is given, in
which the conlestiblcs and potab.cs are usu-
ally more abundant and more substantial
than at our weddings. Thenceforth, till
their nuptiais, the lady and gentleman are
emancipatcd somewhat from the constraint
imposed On social life.
i traveller describing the custom, speaks
with much fersor of the Difference which is
everywhere paid to the betrothed Hcrc,an
engagement is considered matter whkh
il is not untruthtul to deny, and the engag-
ed persons arc subjected to raillcry-as if
to marry were foolish, and 10 promise to do
50 a theme fur nirth The traveller referred
10 found that there was shown to the be-
trothcd q general torbearance and delicacy
d, consideration, which rendered it possible
for the lady and gentleman to-cXchangc and
indulge ia those little attentions to each
other which are the life of what we call
conrtst.ip With would be possible sand
natural in the society of Shakspeare's he
roes aud hcroineS, but IN our own Ancri-
can society would te regarded as indicatin:,
a foolish head and u very soft heart
! For many reasons we should like to see
the German betrothal become an institution
among us. " 10 Knows but that it may be
transplanted to the Western world, and
ladies seize the morning papers to lind who
is betrothed, with as much eagerness as they
now do to read the list Of marriages and
Deaths CA Gazette. .....-

ARTIFICIAL CIGARs.-The steadily ad-
vancing price of tobacco has been met and
meaSuraby counteracted, by the production
Of artificial cigars which answer all the
purposes OF the genuine article, SO long as
the smoker is kept in ignorance of the sub
stitution. y large German importing house
recently received an invoice Of foreign CT
gars which We're appraised by the New
York Custom House at S3 per thousand
The importer was dissatisfied, and asked for
re-appraisenlent, which was granted and
under oath Of the dealers, the cigars were
admitted at valuation of 81 so per thous-
and. The evidence produced showed that
not a particle of tobacco entered into the
composition of the cigars-they were
wholly composed of oak and other leaves,
I soaked in strong tobacco ley. Thousands OF
this Sophisticated article are annually I'M
ported into tlis country from Germany, and
smoked up without the consumers having
j the least suspicion Of the cheat, SO complete
/ is the imitation.
