The above is an engraving from a daguerreotype like” is ness of Cpt, John Rathbone, who was washed overboard and lost from the packet ship Columbia, on tho 13th of last January. This sketch docs not do full justice to the face of Capt. R.; it is probably impossible to do so in a wood engraving; but its general accuracy, all who know, will admit. It would be difficult to convey to an engraving the benevolent, happy expression that was always to be seen in his countenance Capt. John Rathbone was born in Stonington, Ct, and entered upon a sea-faring life at an early age. He com. manded a small coasting vessel during tho last war with Great Britain, and was one of the foremost in managing the torpedo affair, with a view of blowing up the British fiset, at anchor off Stonington. In this enterprize he is said to have exhibited great coolness and daring. He subsequently commanded several shi mong them the packets Crawford, Talma, Kentucky, and Nashville, and has made voyages to nearly every port in the known world. In one of his voyages in the Crawford, during a tremen- dous hurricane, the ship struck on the Bahama Banks She had a large number of passengers on board, and the Every one seemed to give way to the expectation of being lost, ex- cept Capt. Rathbone himself. With the greatest perse, verance, coolness, and presence of mind, he succeeded in landing safely every person on board, and his conduct on the occasion has been spoken of in the highest terms of commendation. Ceptain Rathbone was appointed to the command of the Oxford, one of the old line of Liverpool packets, in July, 1834, end remained in her until May last, when he, a Great power. The simple fact of the case, as now exhibit- | ed in England and Ireland, is this. A few great mer- | chants have by means of the bank, and their own great | credit and princely power, been supplied with some mil- | Hons sterling, at 3 and 334 per cent By this facility, they have been able to obtain a complete control by their agents, on every spot in every parok the. world, over the whole bread market; and‘ the consequence is, they | sell as they please, and ship and transport as suits them, and rule with unbounded power over the market, and it may be added, over the and sustenance of millions of | people, who all the while have not the least idea of the | cret power which affects them every day of their lives, | inn! ng and carried on by a nw knowing’ ones ina | parlor Whata tremendous imperium in imperio | | ank power, acting behind the scenes, almost un- een and unknown, which, nevertheless, controls the every day purchases of the poorest and meanest family, and by an invisible magic, makes every man pay when | he buys bread contribution to therm |, The people in England are lamentably and strangely | ignorant upon this subject, so well known and so tho- roughly agitated in the United States.

N¢ decided has taken place in the theatre of war. The Americans have been exceedingly unfortunate in their naval operations. They seem to be novices in this kind of work. ‘They have lost some very valuable ships, including steamers, and a considerable number of men- ‘The war lingers, the expenditure increases, and the prospects are disheartening. But there is another curious and adverse ture—in short, an extraordinary —_ Tho desertions from the army’ of Gen, Teylor, at Monte rey, are not only numerous, but alarming.

This same This isnot very valorous or Gignited conduct on the part ofthe American commander. What object could the alcaldo have in buying the services of such consum- mate scoundrels asthose which General Taylor brought with him, not to conquer, butto plunder an uahappy country ? If there men have deserted, who can the true reasons? They possibly have rude notions, as every American has, ef the duties of citizens in a free hey may conscientiously believe that every lear right to benefit himself whenever an ‘tunity occurs. What are the army, Polk, er Tayler ? Perhaps the citizen has been atinted in bis pork, biscuits, and pumpkin pies. Perhaps the rum had run out. Perhaps he thought that the erg a side was, by all the rules of pure citizenship, the first he ought to abandon. We confess that we are unable to speculate upon the consequences of this wer withany confidence. We must say this, however—If Mexico can be conquered, which is doubtful, we cannot sec what benefit can pos- sibly arise to the United States. To conquer, ina mil- party, which, though formed out of all parties and sects, exercises great power and influence, has attributed the famine in Ireland to the Divine judgment, in anger be. the grant to Maynooth Col and because of pension given by government to Father Matthew.— And they have raised a sum of monoy to profit by the oc- casion of Irish suffering, to conve: th testanism. By such acts they go en adding to the shame and disgrace which already cover them wherever their eae ae aia @ only agitation of any consequence going on now, is an effort to obtain ar nction of t en was transferred to the Columbia, which was built ex Pressly for him. He was inthe Oxford during the great gale at Liver- pool in 1887, when the Pennsylvania, St. Andrew, Vic- teria, and a number of other vessels, wore lost. On that trying ocoasien, when his ship wes dragging her anchors, and rapidly drifting ashore, his coolness, deci- sion, and admirable management, saved the ship and every person on board. Captain Rathbone possessed a remarkable disposition, We have heard it stated by an intimate friend of his, that he had known him asa ship-master for a period of thirty. one years—had been associated with him at sea and en shore, at home and in foreign ports, and had seen him under various trying and difficult circumstances, but upon no occasion had he ever known him to lose his pre- sence of mind, or exhibit a particle of ill feeling or temper towards those under him. ‘Tho loss of such a man is truly a calamity. For the last thirteen years he has been identified with the Liverpool packet service; and who is there among the whole mercantile community or sea faring men who didjaot know und respect Capt. John Rathbone? To know him wag to love him—and that he should have perished in the woy he did, far from his family, his friends, and his kindred, is indeed heart rending.

[From the New Orleans Picayune, Feb. 26.] The schooner Cora, Captain Btring, has arrived from the Brazos, whence she sailed the fore- noon of the 19th instant. She brought over ten pas- sengers, among whom was Dr. Hardy of this State, who esbeen stationed for months at the mouth of the Rio Grande as Post Surgeon. From intelligence kindly com- municated by him, and from the Matamoras Flag of the 18th inst. we derive the following information. The intelligence we have before received of the prospect of an action at Saltillo is confirmed. All Gen, Butler's outposts are said by the Flag to have been driven in, and the attack, if maée at all, was expected during the first few days of February. Dr. Hardy is of opinion that Gen. Taylor's command at Saltillo would exceed rather than fall short of 6,000 men. Of course, there was no fear as to the result. Many believed that when the Mexicans found him in such force and so strongly posted, the idea of an attack would be abandoned. Very many officers were still of opinion that Santa Anna meditated no serious blow in that direction; that the movement of a division of his army thither was but a feint, and thet he will lead the main body of his forces to Vera Cruz. Sana Various rumors have reached the city by this arrival, | some of them to tho effect that a general engagement had teken place. To none of these do we attach any cre dence. ‘A good deal of apprehension is felt at Matamoras of an attack from Gen. Urrea. This officer is understood to be je of the mountsins, at the head of 4,000 troops. Of the 000 are not to be surpassed in the Mexican service; the remainder are irregular cavalry or ran- cher Colonel Drake has the command at Matamoras,where an In regiment is stationed. Ono company of ri ides had bi ached from it to relieve Captain Lowe, ‘of Fort Brown. A company of regular ortly expected to ere that post. Col. Drake had provided muskets an ammunition for the use of the citizens of Matamoras in case of an attack. He had sent to Point Isabel for several pieces of ordnance for the defence of the city, ond Captain McDougall’s company of Indiana volunteers had been converted into a corps of artillery and din the Plaza. We infer, from all can learn, that the danger threatening Ma- tamoras was not deemed very imminent. All accounts ‘rom that city to Monterey is a peril- i rable force mouth as ra- e troops would be conce: rapidly as possible, but we ar y nt gentleman that it was not surpoees the © 18th March. ‘A Mons.

Itimay be, therefore, that we | shall not receive intelligence from ‘Tampico for some days to come, unless brought hither by a government transport. We do not learn that the Conradine brought avy further news of the movements of the army. MILITRRY AFFAIRS, [From the St. Louis Organ, Feb. 23.) ‘The Tioga arrived here yesterday, having on board Company H. of the 1st Infantry, under the commend of Capt. Plumer, Lieuts.

On the way two men deserted, and one, Richard Monohan,fell overboard on night before last and wag lost. T'wenty-one recruits under Corporal Lynch, arrived also on the Tioga, bound for Jefferson barracks, whence they will be transporte after the necessary delay, and will join the army of Oc- cupation.

To the mortification of the King, the Northern Courts have,it is said, sent an imper-tive demand, requr- ing an absolute renunciation of the throne of Spain on the part of France for the Duke and Duchess of Montpen- ier, or any of the Orleans dynasty. ‘Thus tho very ob ject of so much labor and oxertion is snatched also said that the boys have a decided fondness for the sport.

Accordingly, a very mild and gentle tone on these exciting topics has been observed to prevail in the Chambers—-the Deputies of France are effectually gagged; it is not of much consequence, how- over, for they were before but mere puppets in the handa of the Ministry, who pulled the wires and guided them all, quite harmoniously and obediently. The government and finances of Spain are ina stato of | great confusion and disorder, and there is little, if any, doubt that Austria and the other groat powers will soon find a pretext for quarrel both with France and Spain, to restore the two bunisbed legitimate sovereigns, viz:— | the count de Montemolin, to the throne of Spain, and | Henry of Bordeaux, to that of France. Indeed, a geno- ral report has spread like wildfire, throughout the satter country, that the great Northern Powers were preparing to declare war egainat France, and put down the revolu- tion of 1830, an unceasing eye sore to all legitimate mon. archs. We may, indeed, be prepared to hear soon, of strange doings in Europe, and great disturbance of the balance mow existing. Cracow was the beginning of the monarch revolutionists—and when once a single stone is luosened, or removed from the arch of political morality and good faith, the whole edifice it supports, must soon fall to piecos. ‘This is a law ax constant, both in private and public affairs, as the motion of the planets and other heavenly bodie A serious quarrel is seid to have begun between Aus- tria and the Pope, owing to the Pope’s having rejected 0 Bishop whom Axstria had nominated for consecration. s- | Tho Pope is justified by every reasonable mind, for the ter; John Q. ms and Bayse N.

Why? Because it it rofitable to carry what are called breadstuffs. A charge of 14 shil- lings 6d. on a quarter of wheat, and 6 6d ona barrel of flour, is an excellent profit to the owners of ships. The cotton, of course, re! behind. We know it to be little less than a full average crop. There will be an inundation of its produce sooner than is ex- pected. We have watched the cetton market now for many years, as politicians,- quietly looking on, but we never knew « cear of assumed, and, asthe brokers call it, of well ascertained deficiency, in which the Ameri- cans did not delude and impose upon the Live im- porters and Manch: ufacturers. ‘© assert that this deep game is in play at this moment. The money which America is extracting fro for her corn and flour, enables th culators t id back their cotton. In short, they cannot send it. The ship- ping is otherwise and more profitably aged. But as svon as the turn comes, und it must come befere man; weeks pass over our heads, the farmers of England wil open their stores, corn must fall, and cotton will come in like a flood.
