[From the St, Louis Democrat. ] LATER PROM THE PIKE'S PEAK GOLD MINES—UNPA- VORABLE ACCOUNTS—THE GOLD SCARCE AND HARD 70 GleT—MINERS RaSTRREND 30 Tan aTares. ‘A gentioman who reached ity on Saturday ovening, having left Leavenworth City on Tuoaday evening, the 2ist, brings us the latest news from Kansas and the gold mines. He boca feed pgepevantn ayaa ber of the ‘cold seckers had roturned to Leavenworth and Lawrence, Who relate that the reports about the gold at Pike's Peak are not wear 80 favorable as Lapa a lished. Our informant saw but one of the mi- ners, and he says that he did uot get any gold at all, though he believes there is gold there, but it will not to dig for it, It can only be reached by the best machin- ery. According to his statement, a number of the companies at the mines were about dis! and coming home. He says those who winter there will have a bard time of it, as the climate is very change- able, and the extremes very severe. He instances tho 4th day of August last, when ioe formed at night the thickness of the glass of a tumbler, and inthe daytime the sun was excessively hot. Other accounts, says our informant, were very discouraging, and pmpany about to start from Leavenworth have given up their intention of going until they hear more favorable news. We received by mail yesterday tho Kansas City Journal of Commerce of the 22d, which contains favorable news signin, communicated by Captain Southard, of the Minnie Relie, who got his news in Lawrence on the first of the week from & Mr, Cadwell, who had just arrived, Tho news obtained by our informant, as above narrated, is probdabiy later than that brought by Cadwell, and we ad- vise the feverish gold seekers of Our city to wait a littio longer before making the venture. It is possible that all previous accounts from the border are exaggerations got up for speculative purposes by cunning traders. On the other hand, it may be that the unfavorable news we pub- lish this morning are the misrepresentations of persons sentout by greedy miners to discourage emigration and easing competition at (he mines. ‘The following is the news by Cadweli:— Capt. Southard was in Lawrence the first of the week, aud beard the report of Mr. Cadwell, who had just ar- rived at Lawrence, on his way to this city, for the pur- chase of his winter's supplies. ‘The whole town of Lawrence was listening to bis reports ce the gold regions of the Arkansas, and also con- ss of the gold hunting party that left no last for those placers. Mr. Cadwell left the Lawrence party at work on Cherry creck, previded with a very poor outfit of mining imple- ments, but with plenty of provisions to do them ull their winter's snpply arrived, When Mr. Cadwell left this party was making from $10 to $80 each day per man. They had previousiy been dig- ging and exploring in other localities, but bad not made more then from five to eight dollars per day each, and when they arrived at Cherry creck they were on their way to the settlements of New Mexico for the purpose of wintering Finding, however, that Mr Cadwoll and party were do- ing 80 well, they concluded to remain upon Cherry creck during the Wi They accordingly pitched their tents and went to Work, making, as we Lave said above, from ten to thirty dollars a day per man. 3 iweil further reports thet he has every confi- ‘¢ in the richness of these gold regions, and believes that the gold will be found as plentifully deposited among the puishes and in the streams of the Rocky Mountains, as iu S.milar localities among the mines of California. Mr Cadweil is now engaged in attending to some busi- ness of a private character, aud when he has this arranged he is to purchase his outfit for himself and party, and ro- turn with all possible despatch. It ws rather late for miners now in the mountains to re- ‘tates for provisions and tools, and it is there. fore possi that Mr. Cadwell is tho last man wo shall ‘see this fall from whom we can gather any more definite information. The Approaching Gladiatérial Display—Visit to Ye the Troy Times, Sept. 28.) A gentleman who paid a visit to Morrissoy at bis train- ing quarters on Sunday, furnishes the following informa- tion respecting this now notorious individual, and tho sixbts he witnessed :—He says that arriving at the Abbey at about 2). M., be was informed by one of the trainers that Morrissey was outou his usual afternoon jaunt, of tome five or six miles, and would not be back till five. The intervening time was therefore consumed in conver. sation and sight seeing. There was a consiant stream of visiters arriving during the afternoon, and at one time our informant estimated the number of carriages to be seen in the vard attached to the hotel at about iifty, while the number of visiters present could pot have been less than 500, The bar was very liberaily patronised, but there ‘was no disorderly conduct about the premises during any ‘thon of the time, hor even a drunken person to be seen. o character of the crowd was dive |, embracing re- Spectabie tradesmen and clerks, not aa respectable horse- jockeys and hostlers from the city, less respectable gam- bicre, a few least respectable loafers, overal butchers and curtmen, any quantity of boys from’ fourteen to eighteen years of age, and a few farmers from the surrounding country se occupied their time in various ways— some whittling, more chewing, some smoking, and ail taking. Of course the principal topic und discussion was the approaching fight, and the nearly upanime opinion of the crowd was that Morrissey ld prove the valiant hero of the ‘grand encounter."’ The location of the Abbey on the banks of the Hudson, and the surrounding scenery, are mueed beautiful, and were the place properly fitted up it would be ous of the most attractive spots in this section (country. Now, however, everything bears the marks { decay, and were it not for the fact that Morrissey is training there, nubody would ever think of tarrying for @ moment at the place. Gur informant was in the dress- ing room of Morrissey when the prige fighter returned. He was smoking a segar, and having his back to the door, Gid not notice the entrance of the would-be “champion."’ ‘The tirst intimation, therefore, which our friend received that be was rianuing in the presence of the distinguished hero, was the request on the part of one of the trainers to “put out that cigar.” What coald have prompted the singular request, our friend was at first unable to under- stand, for bet a moment previous the author of that xame request Was engaged in the same delightful occupation. Looking around, however, he beheld Morrissey sitting upon his bed, When the problem was readily solved. he lungs of that individual were ton delicate to en counter the noxious exhaietions of the ‘weed,’ and #0, of course, “out'’ went the gogar. Morrissey sat for a few moments bis couch, (evidently considerably fa- tgued from he walk, Shepherd, who had ac. companied him, appeared quite fresh) when he submitted bimself to a vigorous rubbing down. The crowd dowa Were now in the greatest state of excitement, and gathered around the stairway in anXious expectation of the pearance of the fighter. Presently their wishes were gratified, and Morrisey came forth—not, we are bound to th the air Of a conqueror, but in a meck aad modest, One gentioman heard to exclaim, “1 rabic of him now ‘® modest,and that's som jorriwey Lad much difficulty in making bis way h, and was evidently greatly annoyed at the imper- of the crowd.

The appearance of Morrissey in very mach changnd Few would recogniee him in the street. The evidence of hard work i plainly visible upon hie person, and the diminished size to whieh be has been reduced very enfavorably strikes the observer. A number of gentleman remarked as he came out that he looked | like an ordinary sized man,” and some could scarcely be made to thik that the person they were gazing upon was the redoubts ble Morrissey. His fentures aud hands are browned by a substance which is tse for hardening the flesh, and this alone very much changed hia whole ap- pearance. The luxuriant growth of whiskers which for merly adorned the face of the “champion” is now all gone, and even “the hair on bis bead’? is kept down close tw his poll. He wore asiouched hat and quite ordinary clothes, and looked for all the world like @ back woot*man from Grafton, or a hardy “‘beip” to some farmer, tanned by exporure to the sun and worn down by hard work. Though the outward appearances of Morrissey {ily com: porte with the idea our informant had provionsly formed formed of him, yet a closer inepection satutted him of the great muscular developement of the man, and his conse quent powerful strength.

Her travelling Majesty, always on the move, has bugied herself 'u the recesses of Scotland; tho mombers of tho Cabinet are scattered, no newspaper knows where, and the political machine is entirely in the hands of in- dustrious subordinates, whos knowledge of routlue is adequate to its management. Happy the country when the trade of a politician dries up; for, like uadortakers, a good time for them is a bad time for tho rest of mankind. Commercially, everything looks fall of promi funds are rising every day; bullion is hourly increasing at the bank, and good dividends aro generally declared by joint stock companies. The autumn trade is brisk, and cod projts ave realized. In France and Germany a ro. vival of confidence is steadily beginning, and all vestiges of the late crisis are gradually disappearing. It is sap- posed that by next spring, at farthest, trade will be stroag on its legs again, and that past losses will be rapidly re deemed. We have lately had a flare up in the “city” that has attracted pretty general attention, from the ample re- ports of it that have appeared in the daily journals. It may have some interest for your readors, from the fact that one of the parties in the squabble is a well knows American—J. R. Croskey, Esq., late United States Con sul at Southampton, This gentieman entered into an agreement, some two years ¢, with a company here who were the pioneers of a ‘of eight first class steamships, that bid fair to rot in the docks for want of employment. Mr. Croskey, by bis xetivity and infueace, succeeded in chartering all these fue vessels to the East India Company for the transport of troops to India, and the protits of this enterprise were enormous. No sooner did this same bankrupt company find themselves in the possession of large recel ‘than they grow greedy with sudden prosperity, and began to lay illegal claim to the fair earnings of Mr. Croskey, guarantoed by the dis- tinct clauses of his agreement. Mr. Croskey, with that cool determination characteristic of Americans at home or abroad, resisted this rapacious spirit, and regular battle began. Mr. C. stood quite aloe, and bis antagonists were Heb men of high commercial standing. Public mectings of the shareholders were called, aud Mr. Croskey was bit terly abused by his oppoveuts, who were obliged to admit, nevertheless, that his energetic. management had en riched their coffers and saved the company from ruin. In spite of intrigue and detraction, Mr. Croskey eaimly stood his und and maintained his rights, till, secing (hat clamor no effect, a truce was proposed and a compromise ef- fected, by Which the firet claims of Mr. Croakey were acknowledged. He comes off, therefore, not ouly victor in this quarrel, but the fortunate possessor of some $200,000, honorably acquired in the brief space of two CATR. The Americans here, amouget whom the courtesy and uM benphalty of Mr. Croskey is proverbial, have al taken ively interest in this affair, and rejoice that the Yook agile has not been put to gruff roar of the famous British lion. The streets of London are all placarded with the announcement of Piccolomini’s “ Farewell to Eng land,’ which is to como off on the 28th inst., at the Crystal Paiace—a glorious locality for so stirring an event in the theatrical world.

Your argument in their favor I consider un- answerable, and rogard the general adoption of your ad vice a8 only a question of time, The people will soon demand the accommodation, and then it will ultimately, if not immediately, be granted. Every effort has been made to prevent the running of Sunday excursion trains in England and Scotland, but the people have triumphed over the paritans, and every Sunday such trains leave their principal cities, laden With those who, “‘cabined, oribbed, confined’ during the rest of the week, are able, on that day, t recreate body and soul in the groen fields and balmy air of the country. The same matter has recently been agitated in India, ‘and is now understood to be settled in favor of excursion trains on Sunday. A brief statement of the facta, whieh I have taken great pains to find out, may be interesting to your readers. ‘There are two railways open tn India—one in the Pres! deney of Bengal and anctber in thet of Madras. In both localities the qucetion has been agitated, but in the latter, it has been connected with another, though similar ques tion, vir—that of ranuing special troin any day of the week for the accommodation of s we attend the festivals of their religion, Upon application for such a train to leave Madras on Sunday morning, at 6.20 A.M., (according to the demands of the oocasion,) Jenk{ne, the railway agent and manager, aseented; pro: vided only, that Lord Harris, then at the hea! of the local governme no object But Lord Harris, who belongs to the angelica! = ar it is called in England, and who ts conseqnently a Sabhatarian and very much ubder the induence of Dr. Duffand the other miseiona- Tie utterly refused to give his consent.

Finally, the whole correapondence on the subject, with the remonstrance of Dr. Dufand hie assomiate missions Ties, was sent to the Home Directors. They replied, re buking the principles npon which Lord Harris and his counei has acted, but declining to rescind that action, 80 far ae it related to Sunday trains ‘This inconsistency is remedied by the home government.

Cireumstances over which I have no control doprived me of sending you the news relative to the changes which have taken place daily, not alono in this city, but in every s chon of Mexico, On tho morning of the 25th ult. this garrison was turned over by General Moreno to General Marin, who held also the grade of Commodore of the Mexican navy. This latter commanded the steamer- of-war Guererro, whon sent from Vora Cruz to the aid of Genoral Garza, while beseiging Tampico some months ago; bot Marin put in at Tuspan, and there joined the reaction- ists, and we presume for this act of foalty to that party he was appointed to take the command of this departe- mento. But Genera! Moreno, previous to relinquishing his power, held back the official documents to hand over his command, and planned it s0 as to place the town in the possession of the Constitutionalists or liberal party; and to prove to the world that he was a Mexican full of duplicity, the stores of the garrison had been transferred to the forts, 80 a8 to provide them with supplies for two or three weeks, and not be dependent for, their supplies ‘upon the city, as they had not confidence in Gen. Marin Joining the liberals, and thought ho would defond tho city against their encroachment; and the intriguers and Moreno: took this precaution. ‘The troops in tho forts, as usual, received their blood money, namely a bribe of $3,590, while thoir formor chiof Moreno received $25,000—quito a large sum for a half breed, who knew how to avoid danger better than to lead. Marin had just time to issue his circulars to the different foreign consu!s when the first cry of federation commenced from every fort outside and west of the city. Tho subal- rns and soldiers took advantage of the time whon their { officers were paying their respects to the new Gene- ral,and in a moment they became masters of the forts. Just at the moment of thty affair, the Amorican Consul and another geptteman were ridmg out in that direction, when 4 soldier addressed them ut the first magazino, saying “Atras, Sr. Consul,” 43 he, the poor feilow, was stationed there with a lighted match in hand and a twelve pouader ready to be touched off, pointing into the town. Of course those gentiemen took the hint, as death or victory seemed to be the determination, ‘The firing then commenced in earnest. Meanwhile a shot from a diffe- rent direction came in close proximity to those gonticmen, neither comfortable nor ploasant, It had bocn aimed at some officers that wero in the act of regaining tho shelter of the hospital,so that they might make a stand against the Desiegers and suppress the treason that had bocome so fearful. The work of death and carnage then became fearful, and all the families—old and young, mothers and children, and old. men bowed down with age, and that direfal companion, poverty and want, staring them in the face, and even the wives and *children of several officers of note—fleving to tuke refuge at the United States Con- sulate; for his house has at ail times beeu open to the poor and the strangers of every nation, Tney sheltered thom selves in his warehouses, together with bis own family, who could not remain up stairs in the house for the bails and missiles that were flying in every direction, doing the work of death. Gen. Marin rallied his men inside, and about 400 still stood by his orders, Inthe meantime the fight became general from the west end of the garita, amid the terrific sounding of bombs aud cannon; it being then extended from the magazine to the Plaza de Los Arrieros; while in the meantimo cannon, muskets, pis- tols, escopettes, and all the instruments of death that they were masters of were at work, and death and de- striction were im every street at the west end of the city. Somo shots were promiscuously fred, while others were well aimed, and the town seemed to all intents and pur- poses doomed to be sacked, seeming as if death and de- struction had claimed Tampico as its own. This seene w of the 26th, with but few moments cessation. dawning of morn we saw the American flag unfurled by the hands of a gallant young Frenchman, chief clerk of Mr. Chase, the United States Consul, and who nobly threw it ont to the breeze while the missiles of death were play- ing around bim and onthe people there. There is an abiding faith in that It has now, undor the same roof, sheltered them for weeks and weeks, during all the Jate and fearful struggies at Tampico, and we hope that their faith and trast may be sustained by the government of the United States. If not, her citizens must not only suffer, but in the end may porish, with these vile leaders, whose sole aim, at least of the majority, 1 power and under. 3 By sunrise the battle had become concentrated in the Plaga de Armas, which is the heart of the city, and thore stands the principal church, in which General Marin’s men had sheltered themselves—the garrison being in an old frame house ip front, but the besiegers were reinforced by two hundred mounted cavalry, atl at pine o'clock A. M. the victory was achieved; for those fresh troops com- ing in from Caravajal’s command «t Altamira, soon heiped to complete the work, and the besieged sarrender- ed Lo the besiegers, so that the revolted party became the masters of the city. This reinforeement was under the command of Capis- tran, a detachment from Caravajal’s ; then come white flags inevery direction. Meanwhile the new in- comors saw tho American flag suspended from the Consu late of that nation, and gave it three hearty cheers: “Com via la bandera Americana y vireo el Consul Americano.’ The balls had fallen about the house and office of the Consulate like hail, yet so far as we leara no injury was done to the premises or to any who sought shelter there. ‘Then came tho intense moment of anxiety—fearing the disorder of the troops and the ferocity of the desperate soldiers. Still, by the prudence of their leaders there have. not been any depredations up to this date committed. But tho horrors of that night! which for death and carnage bus no parallel in any of the late revolutions. ‘There is one thing to be regretted—that up to the pre- sent no vessel under American colors haa mado hor ap- arance since the old Fulton and her gallant oonmander fen this place.

Refore Judges Davies, Sutherland and Hogeboom Ser7. 30.—To day an appeal was taken froma decision of Jndge Daviee at apecial term, in the case of Junius &. Lewie agaiat Panic! Dodge and Charles F. Batnes, giving the proceeds of a cargo of grain, provisions and covwton which was on hoard the ship Joseph Walker to Lewis, which was partially burned on the night of the 25th o December , 1853. The owners of the ship abandoned her to the un dorwriters, and they accepted the proposals of Thomas Bell to raise her for seventy five per cont of the proceeds of all he should raiee, Bell & Lewis, after various alvor. tive attempts, abandoned the work; and as the work be. came & noizance, the Mayor, Fernando Wood, mae a ron- tract with Walter K. Jones, by which the latter agreed to remove the wreck and cargo for $13,000. On the 9th of & Barnes entered into a contract with Annual Foir of the American Institute. “The fair of the Amerkean Institute, now open at the Crystal Palace, is receiving’ its usual amount of popular patronage. The tout ensemble inside of tho Valaco is very fine, though there is no partidgilar feature about it, nor any one articlo on exhibition that is unusually grand or peouliarly impressive. Many of tho heavy articles, oape- cially pieces of statuary, have beon in tho building for years, and still stand thore in their accustomed places. Ou entering the Palace, tho first that attracts one are the tables of beautiful dowors and Que fruit on the right, sur- rounded by a neat, close fence of young evergreen trees. A large, long table is occupied almost exclusively by dif- ferent varieties of dahlias. Several other tables are covered with specimens of grapes, plums, quinces, oranges, peaches, pears and apples. Some of these fruits are superb and very tempting to the crowds who daily look upon them longingly. There is also quite an assort- ment of garden vegetables, such as bocts, turnips, car- rots, cabbages, pumpkins, ‘squashes, tomatoes, &o., &o. A-variety of sugar beets, and also some mangel-wurzles, are of huge dimensions, and could never be cooked whole unless a large furnace was preparod for their accommoda- Thore are tn the samo enclosure some glass boxer, giving piscatorial representations. ‘routs, eels, turtles and other aquatic denizens were sporting along over arti- ficial rocks. Passing from this enclosure to the right you enter a storehouse of farming implementa. Ploughs, mow- ing machines, sawing machines, indeod every article ever ‘used in cultivating the soil is there preseated, not in one variety alone, but in every form and shape that humaa genius can devise, Thia section of the exhibition must be very interesting to husbandmen. At the farther end of the Palace considerable machinery is at work: several kinds of steam engines are in ogeration to show the peculiarities of their construction and mov mont. Then thore are other machines driven by steam; asmart looking young man at one place is knitting hose by steam. Near him is an institution for manufacturing chairs. The party attending it takes a solid block of pine and in a few seconds presents in its stead quite a reapect- able looking chair, which being sawed out of a solid block of wood has neither seam nor joint. On tho cast side of the Palace there is a large collection of miscellaneous articles, such as stoves, mantel pieces, statuary, sleighs, wacons, fire engines and the like. Some ‘of the mantel pieces are very beautifully wrought, while but few persons in these times could afford to ride in such carriages. ‘The galleries have a little of everything in them. A moderate number of pianofortes are on exhibition, some of which are finely toned and beautifully wrought. ’ Beda, chairs, tables, dressing cases, are well represented as to numbers, and as to quality they are good, bad and indif- ferent. Models of schooners, yachts, ahips, steamers and every kind of sea-going craft are represented in great num . The Great Eastern too is there and very woll worth inspection. So far as the paintings are concerned, there are some very fine views, but this department of ‘the exhibition is badly filled up and must be classed below par. In the picture gallery there is one ease of wax work which has been wrought with great skill and taste; itis placed ina prominent position, and none should visit the fair without enjoying a good look at it. Perhaps uo little thing elicits more regard from the public than some card board models of houses; they have been very neatly and skilfully got up and are, indeed quite a curiosity. Trinity eburch, with all ts pride and pomp, is there presented in card board. ‘Though this fair of the American Institute is not equal to some of its pre- vious ones, still it will well pay a curious visiter or one interested in the arts or husbandry for his entrée. Board of Emigration Commissioners. Tho regular weekly meeting of tho membora of this Board was held at the Worth street office at three o'clock ‘Tuesday afternoon—President Vorplanck in ie chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and cou- firmed. ‘The Preset laid a letter before the Board from Jules Berrian, the foreign clerk at Castle Gardon, aking for an increase of salary. Captain Crasrres said the man was a faithfal officer, and at the time of his appointment a promise had been made to him that as s00n as he became moro useful his salary would be increased. He therefore proposed that be be paid $600 instead of $500 por annum. Mr. Carrigan asked if the Captain would suggest any other place from which the required sum could be takou. Captain CRABTREE Was hot prepared to say. Mr. CaknicaN said he would havo to oppose the in- crease, for the Board was not in@ position to increase salaries at the present timo. Mr. JRLuNGmats thought it was a me\ier of justice, for the clerk had beeu promised an incccase, and ho was @ very useful man, inasmuch as he spoke all’ the languages or emigrants. If they did not raise his salary they should reduce the others, Mr. CarniGax said that after paying their debts the Board had only $7,000; and to show that they could not afford to raise salaries, they were about to turn outa poor man, who had been ten years in their service, with a helpless wie and family, on the edge of winter, because they could not pay him $40 a month. yuotion for an increase was not passed, and the mat- ter dropped. An application from an Italian emigrant for assistance to retard to Genoa was favorably received and « small donation granted. ‘The following is the regular weekly statement:-— No. of emigrants arrived to Sopt. 22....... 0... 6+ 60108 No. of emigrants arrived since to Boyt. 29... . 1168 - 61,523 145187 1868, 1,059 87 1,16 Disbursements , Balance of commutation fund......... anaes ‘The Board then adjourned. as per previons accounts to 565 28 Have we Slavers Among us?

We give the story to-day, as it ‘On the evening of Friday, the 17th inst,, while the pilot boat Eclipse, of this port, was off Montauk Point, persons ou board of her saw in the moungiade, ata distance, in the direction of the Long Island shore, a vosse,—clther a brig or bark—with topaail aback, as if intending to lie to until morning. The pilots believed her to be an iawacd that the vessel had disappeared, and at al ol the morning a beat with nine men in it pulled alongride, and the men wero received on board. them were Portuguese and part seemed to be Americans. They first told the story that they be longed to the bark Elizabeth, of Ks , Me., and that Scoee of her having eprung aleak they abandon. Upon being questioned closely, however, they told ano- ther and a diferent story. They sait that they had been sent out by the owners of the weasel to take her to come convenient spot to seattle and sink her, in order to get the insurance money on her. They said further, that besiles their own boat's crow, thirtoen other men from the rosso! had token the other beat, and landed on Long Islaed. They wished to be brought to this city and landed, and offered to pay Whberally if the pilote would br: them over, This was, however, declined; but as they ur- gently desired to be pet somewh re on this’ side of the Sound, and Captain Rogers did nt wish to have his Veesel encumbered as it then was w th passengera—stran. kore, at that—he fealty ut bring thom across, and landed them at Wateh Hilt Jat point wae chosen, as the wind was more favorable to making a landing there than at this city, The man who — seemed to be the leator of the strangers, and who ated himself to bavr seem the commander of the slemed versel, paid a the pric of their passage over six Spanish doubloous, a cmim with which ail of the party seemed to be amply sippliod. boat, a cood yaw!, and « epy glase were aleo given to the pilot, and in the bottom of the boat was found a and crucifix. After landing his passengers at Watch Hill, Capt. Rogera retarned immertiately to the place where the strangers had said they bad sunk thoir vessel. They found her about fifteen miles southwest from Montank Point, She was readily discovered, and proved to be a fine brig, well found in every respect, and as far as could be seen. a superior ressel. She was painted Diack, with varnished masts and gilt trogke; her yi were painted black. Her stern lay much higher in the eater than her head, the ballast in her having evidently slid forward, leaving ber light aft, and sottling her bow upon the botton. The name on her stern, which was aboot three foot under water, read, “Fiiza, N. 0." Her foro royal mast appeared above the top of the water, and her maintoyal and topgaliant masts were out. Her sails were all eet. No efforte were made to do anything to- wards raining ‘he sunken vessel, ns the duties of the pilots prevented epending more than a very brief time near her, and the siaver, for slaver she undoubtedly was, lies there now on the bottom. We say she was undoubt. edly a slarer, because from scraps of conversation be. tween the men taken on board the pilot boat, the pilots who overheard now and then a word, are saticfed that such was her character.
