is the captain of the boat. None Of
the pilots have anything TO do with

The bOatkeeper must serve three years
before he can be admitted TO be examined

une he loses his position he must begin all

one. He must have a thorough knOwl-
edge of the coast tides, etc, for hundreds
of miles around New York harbor. But
even after he has successfully passed his
examination he has not arrived at the
summit of his ambition. The first year
of pilotage he is granted license TO pilot
vessels drawing under sixteen feet, the
next year vessels drawing eighteen feet or
under, and in the third year he is obliged
to pass INSTRUMENTATION, after which
he is entitled to pilot vessels of any
draught, and is then called branch or
full pilot
The pilotage differs according to the
draught of vessels, vessels Of small draught
paying much less than vessels OF large
draught Consequently it often happens
that there is much maueuvcring between
captain and pilot. The captain, who wants
his pilotage to be as small rs possible, Will
try TO make the draught of his vessel appear
small, while the pilot, or the other hand,
will endeayor TO find out the true draught

DIR. Cutler also secured m additional
grant OF two townships for university,
with a prOyisO that one mile square in
each should be set apart for common
schools and one for the support Of relig-
iOus institutions. This was probably the
last measure directly appropriating ma
tional treasure or land for religious pur-
poses; for, though the Constitution does
not in terms forbid it, the spirit OF
that clause has effectually done so, and
now the most that can be secured, even
at remote Indian agency, is ground

took place between the pilot and the cap
tain Of ship once sailed To Liverpool

pilot boarded our ship in st. Georges
channel, and was a short, stumpy man
wrapped up i'm the short beaver coat
which is generally worn by English pilots.
After he was taken on board the captain
called the chief mate aft and gave him an
order. The pilot, who was walking the
poop deck. turned short gave the captain
whitening look and said: Il ami charge

the order was COuntcrmandcd. When

came off. Then she pinned n shawl
around her shoulders, threw aside the

her hair as vas her wont in her W
