The Blockade OFF Charleston.

A naval officer of the squadron employed in
blockading the port of Charleston, recently
addressed communication to the Times,
showing some OF the peculiar difficulties con-
nected with the service, and pointing out facts
that show the blockade to be far more efficient
than the commanders on the station and the
Navy Department receive credit for. He COM
planned, and We suspect not without justice,
that, "much is said and loud complaints are
made in the papers when vessel successfully
runs the blockade, but people seem rarely TO
hear Of the blockade when prosecuted with
vigor and success, and when valuable prizes
are being frequently TAKEN" He adds:
81 have now been off here sixty days with
this steamer, forming one Of the blockading
squadron, and during that time not a vessel has
got successfully in; and but one vessel, the
steamer Hero, has got out, which happened in
dark, ioggy night, when it would have taken
fifty instead of twelve vessels to have success
fully blockaded Charleston, for one couldn't
possibly see the distance of quarter of a mile
"You may recollect that in the war of 1872,
when the harbor of New London, the mouth
of which is not more than mile across, was
blockaded by the English squadron, under Ad-
mral Hardy, that BiddIe, in the sloop-of-war
Hornet, under sail, successfully ran out through
the blockading squadron, as close as they were
anchored.
% thick and dark was the night that the
Hornet, as she passed the Admiral's ship,
could hear the sentries call the "All's well,'
and yet the vessels could not see each other.
"The entrance into the outer roads of Tou-
lon is not more than two miles across, yet the
French ine-of-battleships, with their sails set,
and as big as four story-hoUses, used to run
the blockade of the English ships even when
guarded by the sharp eye of Nelson, and his
active, vigilant subordiDates."

How Rothschild Brought the ssOld Lady OF
Threadneedie Street, to her Manners.

An amusing adventure is related as having
happened to the Bank of England, which had
committed the great disrespect of refusing to
discount bill of large amount, drawn by
Anselem Rothschild, of Frankfort, on Nathan
Rothschild, of London. The bank had haugh-
tily replied shat they discounted only their
own bills, and not those of private persons"
But they had to do with one stronger than the
Bank. "Private personsw exclaimed Nathan
Rothschild, when they reported to him the fact.
'Private persons9 will make these gentle
men see what sort of private persons we are"
Three weeks afterwards Nathan Rothschild-
who had employed the interval In gathering
all the e5 notes he could procure in England
and on the Continent-presented himself at
the Bank at the opening of the Office. He
drew from his pocket-book e5 note, and they
naturally counted out five sovercigns, at the
same time looking quite astonished that the
BaronRothschild should have personally troub-
led himself for such trifie. The Baron exam
ined one by one the coins, and put them into
little canvass bag, then drawing out another
note, a third, a tenth, a hundredth, he never
put pieces Of gold into the bag without scrupu-
lously examining them, and in some instances
trying them In the balances, as he said, "the
law gave him the right to do" The first
pocket-book being emptied, and the first bag
full, he passed them to his clerk and received
second, and thus continued till the close of
the Bank. The Baron had employed seven
hours to change e2l 900. But as he had also
nine employees of his house engaged in the same
manner, it resulted that the house of Roths-
child had drawn e210,000 in gold from the
Bank, and that he had SO occupied the tellers

Everything which bears the stamp of eccen-
.tricity has always pleased the Eng lish. They
were, therefore, very much amused at the lit
tie pique of Baron Rothschild. They howev-
er laughed less when they saw him return the
next day at the opening of the bank, flanked
by his nine clerks, and followed this time by
many drays, destined to carry away the spe-
Gle. They laughed no longer when the king
of bankers said with ironic simplicity, "These
gentlemen refuse to pay my bills; / have
sworn not to keep theirs" "At their leisure
only notify them that / have enough to en-
ploy them for two monthsr' For two
monthsw eleven millions in gold drawn
from the Bank of England which they have
never possessed" The Bank took alarm
There was something to be done. The next
morning notice appeared in the journals that
