My suspicions copostning the schooner Belle have been substantially realised, “he is intended to run the block. ade. Though not welt, she bas been handed over fora term to Captain Keanedy and [ér, Keane, two of my fel- low passengers from Havens. The captain is the gentle- man cCubem Lapel ney kad as holding a commission in the rebel service,” With are undoubtedly asso- ciated a Mr. Algalie, wh te an and another young geatioman, whose same I have oot retained in my memory—both also passengers by the Beile, and they are all anticipating @ prosperous trip to Dixie. My reasons for arriving at this conclusion are as follows — ‘Tho other evening while seated under the piazza of the Victoria Hotel, enjoying the cool air, Captain Watson, commanding the Beile, came up in great tribulation and evidently much excited. He was accompanied by the captain of @ Britioh vessel im port, whose acjusintance he bad recently made, In answer to the usual What's the news, Captain?” Captain Watson replied, half out of breath, ‘No mews, sir, but) what coticerns myself, and that tof 80 seri: ons and singular a charecver that I can hardly make ts out.” “What is it all about?” was my rejoinder, Upon this Captain Watson ‘informed me that on the previcas evening, while at supper with the other cap ‘tain, on board the Belle, Captain Gordes, one of the pagsengers who came with us, came on board. This yeu Uleman had established bimselt on board the Beile by the express invitation of Captain Watson himsel(, on the score of Gordon being a seafaring man, and the conse- quent willingness of his host w save him the ex- pense of a heavy hotei bill. While at supper Captain ‘Wateon overheard a Spanish sailor apply to him « moat opprobrious epithet in bis own language, in reference: to the captain's having caused the steward to be sent to prison for a month for geiting drunk and neglecting bis duty. Captain Watson went forward to remonstrate, in seafaring fashion, with the man, upon which Gordon ac- companied him, declaring that he would bave no more trouble on board the vessel, adding that bo was captain of ‘the vessel; that he had been sent on here to Nassau to take charge of ber on her arrival here, and that vext day the two gentlemen to whom she had been handed over would be on board, and show tbe captain the necessary document establishing the autherity of him (Captain Gordon). Watson was, of course, taken somewhat aback at this cool statement, mide in such an abrupt manner; for, said he to me, the owners of the Helle took me out of another schooner in their employ, and, unsolicited by mo, | put me iv command of the Belle, Further, on the morn. ing when we le(t, Mr. ——, one of the owners, came on | board and said he left the vessel unreservodiy ia my A HERO, ee. Besides, if he (Watson) waa to give up charge tw Gordon, why, rend the latter on board the same venselas passenger | Wo Nassau? Why give Watson+ch arge of ber atall? At | all events one thing wos clear Gordon could show no | Geor authority on the spot, and was only on board | Captain Watson. He did not | om bard on sch torma, | for Captain Wateon ordered him on shore, bag and bag | @ge, then abd there— an order that was duly complied with. Next morning the two gentlemen to whom the , Schooner had been turned over went on board, accompa Bied by Captain Gordon, when they showed bim a letier j SOM the owners, stating that she bed been so handed ‘over. The gentlemen at the same time toformed Captain Watson that they had really givea the command to Cap- tala Gordon. Watson, however, would not yield bis @ommand on such questionable authority. Nothing less ‘than a letter from the owners to himself would satisfy Bim on this score; nor has be receded from bis position (, | yet, and there the matter rests, | In justice to Captain Watson I can say that he proved | himeelf quite competent to retain charge of the He was always attentive to his du tes, amd took very little rest at pights, his at tention being directed to his charts and the courre of In fact, unfitness has pot been alleged againat , him.

Perhaps some vague suspicion seizes on the watch and the alarm is given, Ali hands are called to quarters; but what then? Two or three guns are fred wide of thetr mark, and the blockade breaker is eut of bare’s way before ber range can be got, the persons on Doard laughing heartily at the manner in which they have ‘done the damned Yankees.”’ In this manner large steamers have been known to successfully rup the block- ade and to arrive here with cargoes of cotton, Witness the steamer from Charleston itself ou the very eve of ab attack on the fortifications at that place, as 1 mea. tioned in my former letter. THE BLOCKADE ARKANGAMENTS. Te conversition with a Union gentleman @ day or two ogo he expressed his opinion that the blockade was all wrong; that it was institated at the wrong place. Ho ‘was of opinion that Nassau was the proper port to biock- ade—of course keeping the legal distance of one leagve from shore, As Nassau is the depot of articles contraband of war from Kurope to the South, and of cotton from the South to Europe, he argued that a strict blockade at a short distance from this port would either result in the cap- ture of the blockade runners or break up the contraband trafic altogether. But, he proceeded, the procera would be an expensive one, and would necessitate as strict e surveillance over the Bermudas as over New l’rovidence; for, unless this were done, the persons engaged in the {l- leit trade could remove their sphere of operations from here to Bermuda jn a couple of weeks. But, to my mind, there is ‘another objection to a blockade of any port in these seas or of the Bermudas, That ts, such an act would be regarded by Great Britain as a casus bellé on the part Of the United States. Besides, if you remove the block- ade from the Southern ports, or reduce it to & mere paper odlockade, neutrals would be enabled to run in and out of those ports with impunity, taking any sort of cargo out and carrying anything in Bot contraband of war. LOW OF LUORY RUNWERS. fo mueh for disquisition. Now fora few facts which I have been able to glean during my sojourn here The magnitude of tbe operations tn the way of blockade run- ning may be faintly estimated by the following statement, embracing a period of two months.

And hero the Ad miral was placed between two fires, for scarcely had he gone when « steamer came in loaded with cotton, A | great deal of fuss was made at the North at the supposed neglect of Amiral Wilkes in permitting this steamer to ran {nto port with ber rich cargo, while the good folke of Naseaa were chuckling with detight at the manner ia which the Admiral had been deprived of bis prey. Now, what are the facts of the case?

THR RLOCKADE KUNWERE, Tn my last T mentioned some of the principal charec- teristics of the chief blockade runners at thin port, ‘There are some minor luminaries that revolve around these central planets as sateliites. Among them is John J, Tartle, who keeps a store in the principal street of Nassao. Mr. Turtle is a tative of the island, and owns some schoovers that trade between this island and Jamaica, toning Inagua in the way, unless they happen to be engaged in the more profitable businers of wrecking—or ‘racking’ an it in atyled in these islands, And here the readers of the Hxnatp may pardon me if I digress (or @ moment in order to nequaint them with « characteriatie of these honest islanders, at once creditable to their sense of devo tion and (their procitvities towards No.1. It is said of them that every night at family prayer they conclude with these words :—'‘And mayest Thou vouchsafe to send use rich rack and all bands drowned”—the word ‘‘all’”” being drawled out to a length that would be rather incon- ‘venient to Gen. Hooker's army. Of course, I don’t vouch for the truth of this story.

Me, too, has acquired con- siderable wealth since he entered on so lucrative a branch Of business. ‘Tun corron vara, Bpeaking of the quantity of cottoe on thie gentieman’s wharf, reminds me of @iact that was brought to my uo- Lice by a geptioman who ls fully cogniaant of the matter.

Consequently holders of the article are aot willing to part with it at present, but are bolding on in the bope of better prices, yRorivs of TRB reor.s. Im the meantime the people of Nassau are jubilant be- cause they are making money. Wages of day laborers have rises (rom thirty-seven conte to one duliar per day, but, then,’the price of livingghes risen im almost « corres. ponding ratio, People here speak of the present pron- perity of the istand, bat such prosperity sppesra te mete be both Betitiows and factitions. It Is not bas.d on any substantial fovedation, for when the war is chee! the trade of the port will be resiricted, as of oid, wwe rather questiouable business of wrecking, aided by the Gshing up of sponges aud the collecting of woch and theils.
