Favourable winds andl smooth seas had hitherto been ourl constant attendants, and everytltingl on board conspired to render Ihel confinement and monotony of a 3 long voyage less annoying than; they usually are. The cabin pawl senger consi<led of Major and Mrs’ li~â€", a new-married couple ; Miss P , sisterto the latter; Mr. D‘ , a young ltisltman; and my- self. Our captain was a man of pleasing manners and liberal ideas, and formed an important aequist- tion to our party, by joining in all its recreations. and ali'ording every facility to the indulgence of them. Much at our time was spent in com versatton, and in walking on deck, and when the dcws ol'evening obligPd us to descend to the cabin. the captain would olten entertain us with a relation 01 the various dangers which he and other per- sons had encountered at sea, or de- tail. with great gravity, some ofthe prevailing superstitions of sailors. l Although he possessed more gen- eral intormalinu titan ttsuaaly falls to the lot of seafaring persons, his mind was tinctured with some of their weaknesses and prejudices. The ladies of our party had a great taste for natural history, and wish- ed to obtain spvt-itnens of all the most interesting kinds of sea-birds. They had several times requested the captain to sltoot one of mother Carey's chickens, that they might take a drawng from it ; howuver, he always declined doing so, but never gave any satisfactory reason tor his tnwillingness to oblige them in this respect. At last, Mr. D , killed two of the birds, after having several times missed who'e flocks of them. The cap- tain seemed very much startled Where the cankerworm of sorrow Never eats into the heaxt, Where the hopes hrizhf for tomorrow, Never receive the killing dart. \Wm would wish to call him back I'nm this world of sin and woe ?

Though we saw no land, every- thing proved that we were in the Wes! India seas. The sky had, within a few days, begun to as- sume u more dazzling aspecl. and long ranges of conical-shaped clouds floated along \he horizon. Land birds. wiih beautiful plumage often hovared round the vessel. and we sometimes fancied we could dihCOVt‘rH Vegetable fragrance in the breezes Ihal swelled our sails. when he saw the animals drop on‘ the Waves “Will you have the goodness to let down the boat to pick up the game 3?” said Mr. D ' . “ Yes, six," replied he; “ if you’ll go of? in her, and never re- turn on board this vessel. Here is a serious basiness. Be assured we have not) seen the end of it”, He then waiicd away without ol‘lering l0 give any orders about lowering the boat; and the seamen, who wilnessed the lransaclion, looked as if Ihey would not have obeyed him had he even done so. ' One delightful clear morning, when we Were in hourly expecta- tion of making the lane, some dol- phin-appeared aslern. As the wea- ther was very moderate, the cap- tain proposed that we should fish for them ; and a great many hooks Were immediately hailed for that purpose by the seamen. We caught large quantities of dolphin, and ol another kind of fish, and put the whole into the hands at the steward. with orders that part should be dressed for dinner, and part be distributed among the crew. th‘n the dinner-hour arrived. We all aserbltrd in the cabin, in high spirits. and sat down to table. It beingh’t. Genrgv’s day. the cap- tain, who was an Englishman, had ordvrt-d that everything .tehould he provided and set forth in the most sumptuous style. and the steward h:.d done full justice to his direc- ttons. We made the wines, which were exquisite and abundant. cit- culate rapidty, and every glass in~ creast'd our gaiety and grand hu- mour. white the influence of our ll'ln‘lll rendered the ladies additinn- aHy amusing and animated. _'l‘he captain ret'narlwd that. as there were two clarlkmot-plavers among the crmv, we ought t0 have a dance upon the quarter deck at sunset. This pmpnsal was received with much detight, particularty by the fumalvs at our party; and the cap- tain had just to-‘d the servant in waiting to bid the musicians pre- parethemsetves, when "the mate entered the cabin. and said that the man at the helm had dropped down almost senseless, and that an- nthnr of the crew was so 1“ that he coutd scarcely speak. The captain. on receiving this in- fcrmalion, grew verv pale, and seemed at a loss what ‘0 reply. At last he starwd liom his chair, and and hurried up line gangway. Our mirth ceased in a moment. though nune of us appeared to know why; but the minds of all were evidem- ly occupied by what they had just heanl, and Major L-â€"-â€"â€"remarked wilh a faltering voice, that seamen were very liable 30 be taken sud- denlv ill in hot climates. After a little time, we sent the servant to inquire what was going forward upon deck. He relut‘nvd immediately, and informed us that the two sailors were worse,and that a third had just been attacked in the Sume way. He had scarce- ly said these words. when Mrs. I; gave a shriek. and cried um lhat her sister had fainted away.â€" '|‘his added to our Confusion and alarm; and the major and Mr. I) trembled so mdch. that lhey were hardly able to convey the young lady xo her staxe mom.

I found the. mate stretched upon the top of the companion, and ad- dressed him. but he made no repiy. The man at the helm was tying a rope round the tiller. and toh! me he had become so blind and dizzy, that he could neither steer, nor see the compass. and Would therefore fix the rudder in such a manner, as would keep the ship's head as near the wmd as_possible.

I watched it for some time. and ob- served its conclusive motions graâ€" dually grow more feeble; but its form soon became undistingnish ubEe amidst the foam of the burst- ing waves.

All the people on board were to me the same as dead and l was tossed about. in the vast exhanse of water, without a com- panion or fellow-sufieror. I knew not what might be my fate, or where I should be carried. The vessel. as it carcered along the rag- ingdeep, uncontrolled by human hands. seemed unonr the guidance ofa rvienlless demon, to whose ca- prtcns its ill-fated crvw had been mysteriotmly consigned by some supcrtor power. I was titled with dread lest we I was filed with dread lest we should stril'e upon rocks. or run ashore, and often imagined that the clouds which bordered the hori- zon wore the black clifis of some (lesnlule coast.

As some boys were playing;r togethur in a court leading out of Edward street. Brighton, a dispute took place between them about the number of " notches ” one of them, a lad named Richards. had made whilst playing “cat and clog."â€" Ri'zhards declared he had scored more than hic companions had, credited him for. and high words and‘ bad language were indulged in on both sides. At length Richards ll<-w mto a violent pas- slott‘ and said. “ May God strike me blind il l have not scored more than twenty 1” He had scarcely uttered the adjnmtiun when he threw up his arms and exclaimed. "Oh, I can’t see," and begged one of his companions to lead him home. This was immediately- dune. and on examination it was found that a thick film had over spread his eyes, completely ob strncting the sight.
