neglected the work that Sir Walter set him to do
One morning, while engaged in his library labor,
word was brought him that his man had return
ed, after a two days spree. Sir Walter dashed his
pen down on his desk, and in great anger ordered
the son of Erin to be sent to him Immediately Pat
entered like humbleness personifed, and Sir Wal
ter poured out the vials of bis wrath: ''Y ou un-
thankful dog,' said he, "here have been putting
up with your misdoings, and forgiving you from
graces, than you take advantage of me. But this is
the last time, sir: we must partP 'tWell," said
the gentleman from Ireland, "if we must part, I'm

ARE THE JAPANESE LIKELY TO BE CoNvERTRd?-
Rev. C. S. Stewart, Chaplain to the frigate Mag
ara, writes long letter to the Observer describing
the voyage of the Japanese Embassy homeward.
He INDUCES in faint hope that the usages of Chris
tian worship on sbipboard have not been without
their effect on the souls of the benghted Pagans.
Mr. Stewart says:
"While there is no direct attempts made to pros
eyte, | am happy to say there is much in the reli-
gious services on board our ship, calculated,
think, to be suggestive if not impressive to them
and to lead to thought and inquiry to the truths
and spirituality of the Christian religion. We have
regular worship at which the whole ships company
attend, the quarter deck, every morning and
evening, well as the public services of the Sab
bath, when congregational singing by the officers
and crew, and a sermon, are added to prayer. This
worship is open to the free observance of the Japa-
nese, and is regarded by them with respectful at
tention and interest At first, the princes, when
on the deck at the time the ships company were
thus assembled, retired to their apartments but of
late they often remain spectators.
''Tbe protesting Christians among the sailors, a
dozen in number, hold a prayer-meeting on the
berth-deck every evening. 1t was commenced the
first night we were at sea, after leaving New York.
Many of the fifty servants attached to the Embassy
have been attracted to the vicinity of this BY the
singing of hymns, and, doubt, have informed
themselves OF the nature and meaning of this new
aspect to them OF the religious observance of Chris
tians. The ambassadors and their suite are fire.
frequently remembered in prayer at these meetings,
and as have seen aud another of the japanese
stand and look ,1h seeming ,oonder at the group of
sailors bowed down upon the deck in prayer, have
been moved, more than once, to tears by the sim
plcity and earnestness with which these converted
sailors have interceded with the Saviour in their
behalf, that the light of His truth and 'the power
of His grace might be manifested among these Pa
gans, and in the nation to which they are return
ing.

PETER COOPER AS MASTER OF CEREMONIES.

Among the curiosities of the evening was this ex-
ceent, worthy gentleman-in his silvery locks, and
not very courtly form, acting as Beau Nash, or
Master of Ceremonies. The Baron had him as his
Mentor for the Quadrilles, and provder of partners
Some do say the venerable Peter had in his pocket
the picked list of the fair ones, who have been i'm.
mortaized by touching the Baron's gloves in the
dance. At one time, the Patriarch Peter, mounting
the dais, requested the crowd to disperse so that
dancing might commence But excellent as Mr.
Cooper is at many more important things, he does
not shine as Beau Nash, and his urgent requests
In the 'silken wonders" which surrounded him, had
not the least effect upon them. Everybody was
determined to the Prince dance, and this could
not be done at distance.

DEATH OF GREAT ARTIsr.-Mr. A. Van Beest, a
native of Holland, the greatest marine painter in
the world, died the evening of the 9tn inst, at
st. Lukes Hospital, Fifty third street. Little IS
known of his history even among his most intimate
friends he at one time belonged to the Holland
Navy, and subsequently served on a government
commission in the Russian service. He visited in
the course of his voyages Lapland, Greenland, and
nearly all the polar regions, and not content with
studying the phases of the billowy element in the
polar seas, shaped his course thence to the tropics
lie has travelled in Egypt, Arabia, and almost
every portion of the habitable world, and his life
has been of that vicisstude that shpwreck has not
spared him, and many of his eloquent sketches of
wrecked barks and drowning sailors clinging to
the mast are from actual observation. His works
are world-renowned, having reputation in
Paris than America, and his marine views are
priced above all others. No other artist could SO
faithfully depict the phases of the ocean. Never
at home save ON of strife, his spirit seems to
partaka of the nature Of the restless sea-moon
fitting to and fro in the tempest sky. His largest
finished picture on exhibition now is the Capture
| of General Armstrong" He leave gigantic ma
rine sketch upon the easel and many small gems of
art that will be highly appreciated by connosseurs

| fame-regretted by the world at large.-Ne,O York
