On rising. he surprised them not httie'
bv Informing them that he saw big guns
a, the bottom! A second descent increas-
ed their surprise and joy still more, for on
risiup. he was bearing In his hands "sow
as they called It, or . mass Of silver OF
the value of several hundred pounds ster-
ling. Tidiurs Of the discovery were nm
mediatelv conveyed to Capt. PhipPs, wno
: repaired to the place, and on leaving car
ried with him ''thirty-two tons OF shVe.
bullion, besides large quantity OF gola
and Jewels, over which the pillows naa
been rolling for more than halt century.
On arriving in England, such was nus ex-
emplary honesty, that, partly by faihiiinS
his promises to his seamen, and consclen-
tiously paving over to his employers all
their dues, he had left for himself but
little more than sixteen thousand pounds
sterling. -,
Capt. Phipps WIS now the observed OF
all observers. In fact, the lion OF the court
of St. James. Liberal offers were MADE
by the English Navy for him to rename
in England; but he had too great an affec-
ton for his native New England. for nm
to think of permanent residence IN any
other couutrv. The King was SO pleased
with him. that he told him to ask whatever
he pleased and it should be granted. IL
will be recollected that the Colonies were
suffering at this time severely from arbitr-
arv measures of the Home Government
their Charters wrested from them. Govern
ors appointed by the crown sent out to rule
over them etc. Forgetting personal az
grandizement, he besought for New Eng
land, that her lost privileges might be re-
stored to her. The King shook his head.
That was too great boon to be granted,
he said, anything but that His next re-
quest was, that he might be appointed
High Sheriff of all New England; hoping
that by means of his deputies in office he
might be able to furnish the people with
conscientious Jurors which says Cotton
Mather. in his history of New England,
was ..the only means the New Englanders
had left to secure anything that was dear
to them After considerable trouble,
expense and delay, he obtained his ap-
pointmcnt: but there was free opposition
enkindled against him. which at one time
ran so high, that he came very near being
assassinated before his own door. About
this time, he made profession of the relig-
ion of Christ land was publicly admitted to
one of the Churches in Boston, on which
he is said to have remarked"I have had
awful impressions OF the Lord Jesus,
.whosoever shall be ashamed OF me, OF
him shall the Son of Man be ashamed etc.
As is the fortune oil all in high stations. he
was surrounded by enemies, who kept con-
stantly preferring charges against him to
the King, who, though satisfied OF his IL
deity, ordered him to appear in England,
He obeyed the Royal(mandate. The cal
umnies were all silenced, and the pros
pect was very flattering, Of speedy re-
turn to his native land: but Providence
had accomplished its design, his earthly
mission was completed. He was attacked
by malignant disease which terminated
his life 4.

Playful Pistol Shooting.

New YORK, Feb. II.
About ten o'clock Friday night the folly
of allowing lads to NEEDLE with firearms
was painfully illustrated in Jones street by
the instantaneous killing of Jesse Wicks,
aged 10, by his cousin Jesse r. Clark,
aged IA. The lads were belfelows. and
Clark had undressed and got into bed, and
was amusing himself with cooking and uu-
cooking revolver which he kept under
his pillow at night. Wicks, who was UNI
dressing, asked to see the weapon, and as
Clark was handing it to him he made n
jocose remark to Wicks, This the way
one would treat robbers, at the same time
aiming the weapon at his (Wlcks) head.
The revolver was cooked, and an invoun-
tary movement on Clarks part, discharged
ii, and Wicks fell shot through the tore
head, and stone dead CLARK, who was ter
ribly effected was arrested The parents
of the bows are in humble circumstances.

the FIRST National bank had been entered
and the vault robbed of about 100000 in
currency belonging to the bank, besides IA
quantity ofbonds and valuable papers, and
it is said quite an amount Of special de-
posts.
The bank was entered by cutting through
the hall floor of the second story. immedi-
ately over the vault The burglars then
made breach through three feet of ma
sonry. They then cut the rivcts Of sheet
OF boiler iron with which the vault is lined
and descending into the vault. The safes
inside, containing money, bonds and valua-
bic papers, were charged with powder and.
by means Of Il small rubber hose, train
was carried to the top Of the safe, where
a small pistol screwed to an old ledger was
arranged 50 as to set it off
a string attached to the pistol passed out
OF window of the second story to the
street below. The clock in the bank
stopped at seventeen minutes past two NJ.
at which time il is supposed the burglars
fired their train. The door Of the safe was
wrenched from its hinges There is no
clue whatever to the perpetrators but one
