i YouaG AMERICA AFLoAr.-The 7. S.
Mail steamer Atlantic, Talbot master, ar.
rived here on the 9th inst, from Key
West. We derive the following interest,
ing narrative from her gentlemanly pur-
scr VIM. Poole A few days since, boat
from the English Man-of-war Scourge,
boarded in the harbor Of Cardenas
the American ship Clarendon, Capt.
Bartlett. The English officer ON reach
ing the deck of the Clarendon, demand
ed to know why Capt. Bartlett did not
set his colors, when he saw boat from
a man-of.war approaching. Capt. Bart
lett replied tartly because it did not
suit his convenience" The EnglisIlman
demanded to see the ships papers,
Capt. Bartlett refused to exhibit them.
The Man-ofwar was then hailed, and
despatched two boats with armed crews
to the American ship. Capt Bartlett
hoisted in his gangway ladder, and seiz-
ing revolver hailed the boats and inform
ed them that the American flag protected
his ship, and that the first man that at
tempted to board the ship he would
kill. The English officer retired in dis
gust, without making good his threat to
search the ship. Capt Bartlett is quite
a Young man-not over tWenty-six years
of age. He has shown himself true
American, and we commend him to the
notice of our brothers of the press
throughout the country. We under
stand that, had the officer made good his
threat of searching the Clarendon, twas
the intention of Capt. Bartlett to have
abandoned her, and sought redress by
an appeal to the President
. The British steamer Styx called in
Kew West las week for water, The in
tercourse of the officers with the citizens
there was not of the most agreeable
nature. The English officers stated that
in searching our vessels, they were but
executing their orders, nevertheless,
they expected to be recalled, upon COM
plant Of our Government. We trust
Mr. Buchanan will make no complaint,
save that which thunders from the gums

THE PLEA OF 1ssAsrrY.-A negro in
Louisville broke open box belonging
to a eomrade, containing three silver
dollars, and stole one of the pieces
Having been araigned for tue theft,
the usual plea of insanity was urged,
the counsel declaring that no sane man
would take one and leave two dollars
behind Wherenpon the Cuffee that was
robbed, exclaimed with great emphasis
-" Massa, | tell you that nigger amt
crazy; he broke my box open and took
dc dollar out. Now, if be had broke
open de box and put dollar in, den I'd
say he's crazy His argument was con-
elusive, and the tlief vas sent up.

sg- 4 dashing fellow, who seemed to
think he manifested his superiority by
the disdain he exhibited OF anything like
courtesy to the humber classes of socie-
ty, was driving his wagon one rainy
day when he came to a toll-gate, and
haughtily asked what was to pay. "Ten
cents if you please" said the civil gate
keeper. Instead of handing the money
to him. our aristocrat threw qnarter Of
a dollar carelessly on the wet and mud

Great Race from the South to tie Norta
The Lexington (Miss.) Advertiser, Of

We understand that very interest
ing race has taken place from New Or
leans to New York, by three different
routes, to test by which the shortest
time can be made The race commenc-
ed on last Monday morning from New
Orleans One of the jockies started by
way of Mobile; another by the Mississippi

less parsonage than James Robb, by
the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad
On last Monday night, about 10 o'clock,
Mr., Robb in all extra stage provided for

new Code was not in existence, we

EVER SPEAK IN TONES OF KINDTEss
BY wM. RoDERICK LAWRENCE,

Ever speak in tones of kindness
To the sad and weary heart,
Never let an unkind answer
Cause the bitter tear to start,
For how many spirits broken
Crushed beneath worId Of care,
Have been cheer'd by kind words spoken.
Cheerd their weary load to bear.
None the human soul can fathom,
None its mysteries explore;
'Tis a wonderful creation
Launched on Times eventful ahorp;
And while earth it's wings shall trammel
Few the pages we may read,
But in glory we may view it
When from mortal vesture freed.
Like an instrument of music
tits delicately strung,
Then ne'er let o note Of sorrow
From it's tender chords be wrung;
But may gentle words awaken
Sounds Of JOY and peace, and love,
Such as angel choirs are breathing
In the courts Of light above,
Then e'er speak in tones of kindness
To the soFrow stricken heart,
And ne'er let q word or action
Cause the bitter tear to start;
For how many spirits broken,-
Bound beneath load of care,
Have been cheered by kind words spoken,
Cheer'd their daily cross to bear

The Great Eclipsc.-sir John Parking
ton has offered to place vessels at the
disposal of men of science for observing
the great eclipse of the sun, which will
take place in September next. This
eclipse will be total, and it's astronomi-
cal appearance will be the best in South
America, particularly about Lima. 1t
is anticipated that an astronomical ex-
pedition may be organized, and in this
case, foreign astronomers would be in-
vited to join the expedition.
