Advertiser, which he found it almost impossible to
suppress. Expressing our hearty delight at his en-
ioyment, briggs burst forth again in such q boisterous
roar. briggs is one Of the most equable of mortals,
YOU know, and is very seldom carried away by i'm
pulse, J as very naturally excited in US a slight de-
gree Of indignation, at what seemed to us a ht'ie
rudeness. Knowing the usual placid temperament
of our friend, we could not but exclnim in SURPRISE
with, perhaps, o tincture of displeasare, " what, on
earth, is the occasion of this sudden overturning OF
your eauanimity : Pray, do allow US to enjoy q part
Of your apparent delight. or we shall leave you to
your fate, which seems to be one that will soon re-
ouire a coroner's inquest" briggs, who is one OF
the rolitest of men, made a violent effort to master
his mirth. and so far succeeded as to say, with much
concern. . Excuse me, my dear friend. for what as,
must confess, apparent rudeness. You know me
too we'll. I am sure, to believe l would willingly
wound YOUR sensibilities, or give you pain, but why
will they do so? What good reason can there be for
putting such ornaments into a paper You know l
think everything of the .ddrertiser, and l usually
peruse it with q degree of satisfaction that leaves me
in the best of humor for the rest of the day. But
look ut that he cried, holding up the paper embel-
lished on its first page with the representation Of a
man playing billiards. " Can you blame me, sir, for
laughing at that grotesque picture /? Do you sup
pose any human Ociu& d cScI SuAy VI ouSA NJ
attitude as that . True as fate, his right leg has
been cut of, and has been stuck on his left, and he
locks more like a man making an attempt toswim,
than like one in the graceful attitude of a billiard
player" briggs was right and we conceded with
him so fully that our indignation vanished.
The TELEGRApH.-This enterprise, which has now
been conducted for some two years, has proved itself
of SO much public benefit that there is scarcely man
in the community who would not regret to see it dis
continued. Yet we understand that it will have to be
discontinued soon for want of support. Quite a num-
Der of our residents, who have heretofore aided it,
have withdrawn their support. If those who are d.
rectly concerned in shipping, do not feel interest
enough in it to aid in supporting a marine telegraph,
we had better take a step backward and sit in the
shadow of darkness and marine ignorance, as in for
mer days. when clippers went past the port, laughing
at the temerity of those who undertook to start after
tkea, only when they came off the anchorage.
BARK JUNIoR.-This bark has become famous in
marine history. from the bold and daring mutiny of
Plummer and his associates, whose trial in Boston
so long excited public attention. She was fitted
out again, and cruised during the summer in the
Ochotsk. On leaving that sea, she was spoken, and
Captain Rowley desires us to report him with 450
bbls., and that he was bound to the New Zealand
cruising ground. We learn also that a seaman CT
board the bark had attempted a disturbance, and
threatened to cut away the ships rigging. No no
tice was taken of his threats until he was found in
the act of cutting the rigging. He was then put in
irons, and it was the captains purpose to put him
ashore at the first port where the vessel might touch.
1t would seem that the influence of Plummer's insub-
ordination follows the vessel.
HARBoR DIsCovERED.-Capt. Freeman Of the Ty-
bee, informs US that while cruising at the north, in
search of whales, his boats entered a large bay in
N. Lat. 81. O5, Long. 1862 20, and about 100 miles
W.. of Cape Thaddeus. Nearly across the mouth of
the bay an island stretches, on the northern shore of
which is excellent landing. The bay has several
arms, is large and spacious, with Q to Is fathoms of
water, and vessels can lie in safety in any weather.
the 18th of June, when discovered, it was found
entirely free from ice. The captain has too much
modesty to give it a name, but as it is not noted on
any chart to which we have had access, we will
it Freeman's Harbor.
R-The Concert given on Friday evening last by
Hasslocher and Waldau, was well attended.
Those who are better judges of music than We, say
that finer musicians have never been among us. Mr..
with the piano, and Mr.. Waldau with
the violin. appeared perfect masters of the art to
which they are devoted. No one could sit and hear
them discourse music, without being fascinated with
its charms. We trust that they will soon give another
to our citizens. An advertisement of
these gentlemen appears in another column, to which
We would call attention.
Our HARBoR.-On- Sunday last our harbor pre-
ented a fine appearance. Over one hundred vessels
in port. most of which were large ships and
PARKS, and from the mast heads of nearly every vessel
were flying. Such a display of bunting is sell
lom seen in any port. Over two hundred flags of all
olors, and nations, were fying-some of the vessels
three and even four.
WHALE Boat FoUND.-On Friday morning last,
8 the steam tug Pele was going outside to tow a
essel into the harbor, Capt. Mcintyre observed a
Vhae boat drifting, about four miles outside the reef.

FOLLOWING SUIT.-The whale ship Morea, was on q
fonday last sold by public auction. Messrs. john |
on & Foster became the purchasers for the sum of q
$40. From present appearances she is destined to 7
hare the same fate as her predecessors. the .Nsua 4

HAWAIIAN CONSUL IN BosToN.-The President of
ne United States has recognized Henry A.. Pierce, t
So, as Hawaiian Consul for the port of Boston. v
[r. P.'s long residence at the islands and intimate \
usiness relations with them, render the appointment t
ne of peculiar fitness. o
MIrcHELL's MISsTRELs.-This company, seven in Il
