He sprang from the shop-board and ran down with his comrades to the beach to gaza on the glorious sight. -The tailor boy suddenly inflamed with tbe ambition to be a sailor, and springing into a boat, be rowed oft to the squadron, gained the Admiral's ship and was accepted as a volunteer. Years after he returned to bis tlive village, full of honors, and dined off bacon and eggs, in the cottage where he had work-rd as a tailor's apprentice. - Cardinal Wulsey, ! DeFoe,' Akenside, and Kirke White, were sons of butchers; Bunjsn was a tinker, and Joseph Lan-'Castar basket-maker. Among tbe great names identified with the invention of the steam engine are those of Newcomen. Walt and Stevenson; the first a blacksmith, the second a maker of mathamatical instruments, and the "third an engine fireman. Dr. Button, the geologist, and Bewick, the father of wood engraving, were coal miners. Dobsley was footman, and Ilolcrofl a groom. Baffin the navigator, was a common seaman, and Sir Cloodesly Shove, cabin boy. Ilerchel played the oboe in a military band. Chantrey a journeyman carver, Etty a journeyman printer, and Sir. Thomas Lawrence the son -of a tavern-keeper. Michael Faraday, the son of a poor blecksmilh was in early life apprentice to a bookbinder, and worked at that trade until he'reac&ed his twenty second year; be oow occupies the very first rank as a philosopher, excelling even his maeterj: Sir Humphrey Davy, in the art of lucidly expound-. ing the most difficult and obstrnse points in natural science. Not long ago Sir Roderick Mur-cbison discovered, at Thurso, in the' far ' North of Scotland, a profound geologist, in the person of a baker there, named Robert Dick. When ' 8ir Roderick called upon him at the bake bouse, in which be baked and earned bit bread, Dick delineated to him, by means of floor upon a - board, the geographical features and geological t phenomena of his satire country, pointing ont the isa perfections io the existing maps, which he . Lad ascertained by travelling over the country ia bis leisure hours. On farther inquiry,, Sir Rod crick ascertained that the hamble individual be- fore him was sot only a capital baker and geolo-? gist but a first rate botanist, 44 1 found, said the Director General of the Geographical Society, Jto my great humiliation, that thjs baket; knew r.ia finitely more of botanical science ay, ten times ' more, than I did; and that there were only some twenty or thirty specimens of flowers which . be '.lad not collected.

Close behind the siogle boatman was seen a large rover, filled with men, whose presence was announced by a continued firings at him of whom they were in s.ch a determined pursuit, holdior on their wav until they were under the very guns of the ship. "2ow, by my soulP cried Stewart, "may I be shot if I don't teach those fellows a lessdn. Stand by Mr. Rogers," be added, addressing a favorite gunner, "to throw a Kttle grape into that fellow. An instant later a wreath of smoke curled up from the side of tbe ship, and as the report went booming over the water, the iron messenger sped on its way, crashing into the pursuing boat, se rerely wounding two or three of her crew. She- nstantly turned to put back, at the same time that the fugitive reached bis destination, and came up the side into the presence of the officer of tbe deck. He was an elderly man, with a stout frame and bownTsh features; but it required but a single elaoce from tbe lieutenant to see that he was English or American. As soon as . k , , i. he was sufficiently recovered from his over-exer tion to breathe he went on to tell his story, to which Stewart listened with much excitement. he newcomer was an American citizen, named James Collins, a native of New York, who, with bis daughter, bad been taken irom an American vessel at the same time as its commander and crew, two years before, by an Algerine pirte. His wife had since died, aad he and bis daughter had been enduring since bis capture all the hoc rora of. a hcpeless and aggravated captivity; but the worst part of the poor man's story, and that which moved Lieutenant Stewart the moat, was the announcement that bis daughter, a gentle and beautiful pirl, was on the eve of being forced into a detestable union with tbe very wretch who had booght her and her fat her' as slavea.,. ! "My aony at these circumstances cslminated not two hours ago," finished the father, whea I cctrai.41 fled. By dint of exertion I managed to reach the water side, and embarked before the persuers could prevent it. But though I have succeeded in reaching this place of safety, my pool Alice is still in tbe power of her tormentor, exposed to his vengeance;-1 am almost crary . at thinking that she may even now be subjected to a fate worse than death. If I eouU only guide a boat's ere w, under your orders" : - , . "Onei moment," icterrnpted Stewart, "stay where you are until I have seen Commodore Pre ble.' " - ; ' . One moment the youesT lieutenant was engaged with his commander in the Cabin, and then be came forth with a stern smile of satisfaction-on his features. Ten minutes more had not pas sed before a cutter, with twelve chosen men, pushed off in the darkners, with the lieutenant and the stranger in the stern, and rapidly struck ont for the shore. , V - "Our owner," said Mr. Collins, 'resides in the western part of tbe city. There is a coast guard established, but I do not apprehend that we shall hare any especial trouble from that source. I think we can land below, go up the street to tbe house, and carry off my child, and all without losing a man." Tbe boat landed, after twenty minutes of rapid progress, and at a small wharf near the Geleta, in the western part of the town. Tbe arrival was certainly observed, but not a great deal of attention was bestowed upon it by .the stupid Alee-rines. . Leaving part of hie men in the cutter with orders for them to He down under the wharf Lieutenant; Stewart and the remainder of his force followed the footsteps of Mr. Collins, who led the way rapidly, op tbe intervening streets. On arriving at the prison, an old, dingy-looking structure, extremely spacious, having all the loos-ness of the Moorish style, the party discovered that silence and darkness were the principal fea tures of the scene. Not a sound was heard nor a word ottered. The whole building was desert ed. . The aeronr of the father was extreme. "Obr my child! my childi" he cried, no longer able to control the terrible emotions which bad been surging through his soul during the last hour, -"shall I never see thee tnorrT :' A Moorish slave came around from the rear of the building, and assured his fellow-captive that the girt had been carried off by the master, and that no one was at homo save himself. But as the lying rascal ottered the concluding words, a wild shriek was heard in the chamber, and, the next moment a young and beautiful girl of sev enteen summers appeared, at one of the frort windows, looking like a spectra ia ser garments of spotless white."''- ; ' " ' -'' - : rMf child, my Alicein axalaimed -llf.

It seemed as if all Algiers had turned out to witness tbe triumphant retreat, the streets beiag filled with thousands of men and women collected together br the brief context at tee Jioor a noose, bat not an attempt was made to intercept the progress of the party, the Algerines contenting themselves with scowls and denunciations. Ten minutes later the rescuers were at the cutter, twenty mine tea more and the entire paity were safely back to the Constellation not having lost a man.' The ; young Lieutenant received the hearty thanks of bis superior, to say nothing of the gratitude of Mr. Collins and bii daughter whose family proved to be of conse- VT i Ne Yorfc5 re assured that Charley Stewart never was happier in bis life than when Miss Alice was united to one of bis "ehoms," a noble hearted lieutenant, now a com mod ore, who fell in love with the rescued maiden during the. Constellation's homeward passare. Bank Bobbed of 17,8S2. On tbe night of the 2d instant the branch Bank of Tennessee, at Clarksville, was enterel and robbed of 17,882, most of which waa in twenty dollar gold pieces, principally new gold? The locks to the doors were all as they were left locked th night before. It is supposed the locks were picked.. Thus far - no xluo has been bad to the discovery of the robber, nor is any particular person suspected. A : reward of $ 3,500 .. is offered for the discovery'of the thief and recove Tbe Southern Conyention. The Legislature of Virginia will, it is believed, threw a wet blanket upon the proposition for holding a Southern Convention with a view to the consideration of the expediency of a separa' tioo of the Southern States from the Union. Mr.' Barbour has made a report from a special committee on the subject, in which he takes Governor Wise's ground, that the State of Virginia can best protect her rights by remaining within the Union. ' " 1 . ' Iroa Uarters' Conrentipn. ;!- ' A large convention of iron masters, furnace men and capitalists met in Portsmouth, Ohio, on Tuesday morning of last week.' On e. call of delegates, it appeared that nearly every furnace and iroa interest in Kentucky and Ohio was represented. After organization a statement was made of the iron interest of the two States, from which it appears that the yearly average pro f dace of pig iron from sixty-two furnaces was 155,000 tons per annum; value of cold and hot blast metal, $4,650,000; population supported by furnaces, 31,000; hands employed, 6,200, 4c In the afternoon the committee to whom the matter was entrusted, reported a memorial to Congress, in which they represent that the iron manufacture is in such depressed condition as to render the capital invested scarcely remunerative, and that relief can only be afforded by a specific duty on the import of foreign iron. Tie Chicago Scandal Case. . The newspapers have been , filled for some days with an account of a scaDdalous erVm.coM. case, which was said to hare occurred in Chicago, between an ex-member of Congress and the wife of a prominent banker. The names of the parties are now given in the Court records of Chicago, for an application for dirorce. Isaac H. Borch was the plaintiff and Mary N, Burch was the defendant. David Stnart was the ex-member of Congress '. alluded, to. He was formerly a resident of Detroit, and was always regarded in the light of a Mgay deceiver." Mrs. Burch, like Mrs. Sickles, has made a confession ofguilt and reduced it to writing in the presence of a notary, the Chicago iVess and Tribune says that Mrs. Borch now retracts her statement which she avers, was ' extorted from her, and that the defence - will attempt to drive the petitioner to furnish evidence outside that so-called confession, if any such evidence exits. , . . . ; The DeTiltrief orCampheae. : , At St, Thomas, Franklin county, Pennsylvania last Senday, as the ReV.

I trust thai we will go on in our efforts, day after day, until we do effect an organization, and proceed to perform the duties which we were sent here to discharge, that the great heart of our country will cease to pel. sate with the anxiety which now causes it to throb j and that we will each, in our own appropriate sphere, do what we can to m.eke ourselves more worthy of the inestimable blessings which can only be enjoyed by a free and united people." The northern Democracy. We make the following extract from the eloquent speech of Hon. Mr. Pry or, ef Virginia, which he lately delivered ia tbe House of Rep resentatives. Ia its spirit and tone, it cannot be too highly commended. Mr, Pryor says : The truth is, that the Kansas-Nebraska Bill was susceptible of a various reading. -Obvious enough on its faee, like a palimpsest, it contain ed matter of grave import beneath the surface We of the South said the principle of the bil' watjhst t: rpplj of a Territory mi fffrt jiele mine the question of slavery in t&e exercise of State sovereignty, and in the act of organizing a State government.'. Others maintain that the principlepf the bill recognized the right of the people, by an act of Territorial legislation, to determine the question of slavery. It is a palpable, important, and, I apprehend, irreparable, difference of construction.' However, since, for our interpretation, we have the authority of the hig-eat judicial tribunal, there is reason to hope it may eventually pravaik- But, be that as it may, I protest against the assumption that an opinion on Territorial power shall be made a test of political fidelity, f I can' a&derstand how the enemies of the Democracy may employ and aggre-viate the issue as a wedge Jo rend asunder the unityi of our party ;"but I cannot comprehend how any Democrat ran assist in the suicidal operation. I a all political organizations there must be some ope questions.' It is impossible to enforce an exact conformity of opinion upoo every subject of speculation. The policy of the Democratic party has been to tolerate a difference of opinion in this matter of Territorial power. :'; V' . :"- ' '; ' The appointment of General Cass, the recognized . author of the squatter sovereignty dogma, to the chief place in tbe present Democratic Administration, provoked no" complaint or remonstrance from the Democracy of the South. I am for adhering to this judicious policy this "salutary neglecUl I persist ' in my own opinion ; I will battle for its recognition by the Government ; but I will not be so mach the bigot as to sacrifice my friends, my party and my country to the idol of tny peculiar speculations. In the story of the last . siege and. capitulation of Con-stantinopla there are- many mortifying illustn-tioes of human depravity; but no circumstances of thai frightful episode so shocks the sensibilities and abashes our pride at the pertinicious alterations of the degenerate Greeks, aver frivolous issues, in the very , agony of the struggle, and while the barbarian hosts were thundering at the gates of the city.
