As for this man, sir,’ pointing to Sam, ‘ I only wish that you, sir. \es, you—possessed a heart equally brave and honourable. This man. whom you have stigmatised,and would have punished unjustly, preserved this ship and the lives oflier oﬂicers during the late iiisurrectioii- at Spitliead. "l'is true, for the time being, the ,captain was deprived of his command, and this man elected by the delegates instead; but such was his excellent conduct in restraining the seamen from acts of violence, or even trivial insult, that the duty was carried on by the. ollice'rs with the same attention as before; only, in one thing they were all determined, not to lift an anchor till their grievances were re- dressed ; and perhaps—but that has been settled.

_ " 'I‘he newspapers inform us that the Capitalists ot England do not know how to invest their money to advantaoe, and that they are lending it on appl'OthetI secu- rity. at Id and 2 per cent. What a pitv it is that they are not iiitormed. through some authentic channel, of the mine ot wealth, which surrounds this lslandd’rom which our neighbours, the subjects ot the United States, are obtaining a very dit- tcrent sort 01 percentage for their 'capi- tal!

As many as one hundred sail ot‘Ainc- rican decked tishing vessels have been counted at one time in one of the nume- rous harbours ot this Island, while not a single vessel with a deck belonged to that harbour.
