A MAN OVERBO R. Br IKE SARVEL. It was one of those thunder and light ning gales at night, when, for a moment, all would be as light as day, and a mo ment after, so dark, that you could not see an oar's length from the vessel. The cap tain was forward, and all the hands, ex cept the cook and myself, was aloft. The abip was pitching madly, and the waves were toppling up sometimes as high as the yard arm, and then dipping away with a whirl, under our kneel. that made every timber in the vessel quiver. The thunder was roaring like ten thousand cannons, and every now and then, as 1 said, half the sky would split up in a stream of fire, that glared over the tops of the waves, and glistened on the wet deck, and the spars-lightning up every thing so plain, that I could see the men's faces at the main-top, and catch glimpses of the reefers on the yard arm, clinging like death-thou all wopld be horrible dark ness. You could hear the spray spitting against the .canvas. and the great waves breaking on the . weather bow, and the howl of the wind through the rigging, and now and then, when a gasket gave way, and the sail bellied out to leeward, you could hear the canvas splitting like the crack of a musket. You could hear, too, the captain for'ard, screaming out orde-s, and the mate in the cross-trees screaming 'em over, till the lightning cane, and the thunder-both together, and deadened their voices, as if thc'd been a pair of little chairpiug sparrows. It was in one of the flashes, that I saw a band on the yard-arm lose his foothold, as the ship gave a plunge, but his arms were clenched round the spar. Before I could see any more, the blackness came over me, and the thunder broke with a crash that half deafened me. I thought I heard something like a tiny howl, as it died oli, and sure enough, at the next flash of light niag which came in a moment, what should I see on the top. of one of the waves along. side, but Tom, Meeks; the lightning glar ed on his face, so that I could see the look in the poor fellow's eye. As good luck would have it, he had caught hold of-one of the studding-sail sheets, as he .fell, and as we pitched. I could see it slippidg off the coil upen the I shoutied like mad-"Man overtoard!" and had just time to catch the rope, when we could see nothing again. I was a boy, then, and coul'l'nt hold by the rope; the sea was too-high, and the man too heavy for me. I shouted, and shouted, and shouted. ind felt the sweat starting all over my fore head, as the rope slipped out through toy hands. Poor Tort had been our mess mate for a year, and wq, all loved him. Presently the captain felt his way aft, and took hold with me, just as the coil was nearly spent, and we pulled upon hint; and the cook came, and we three hauled together upon him. Poor fellow ! it must have been des perate work for him; for the ship was drift ing at a prodigious rate, and we pulling at the same time; but he clung like a mar.. By and by, at a flash, we saw him on a crest three oars lenyth away from the vessel. "-Hold on, my man," slhouted the cap tain. --For God's sake, be, quick," said the man, and he went down in a trough of the sea. And we pulled the harder; and the captain kept all the while calling to him to keep up couragne, and hold strong. But in the hush we could hear 'I'om say: "I cant hold much longer-l'm most gne !" We called out the more to him to hold on; and presently got him where wye could almost lay hold of him, and were only watiting for a good lift of the sea, to bring him up when thie pour fellow groaned out: "-It's nci use, I can'r, goodl bye !'" and a wave tossed the end of the rope clent upl upon the bulwatrks. At the niext flasha we saw him going down uder tlto water. I never shall forget htowi he lotkedl, for we saw htitt platin, whent lie said "Good bye!" anid let go his hoald. CoxrEstrr FORt A 'Taro.-Int 17S, a getlemtatn was about to ittduce Lord Lauderdale to General Arnold, when the fortter exclaimned. "What! theo traitor A rnold ?' This hasty remark caused a duel betweent thie parties. They mtet on the 2d ofJutly, Lord Lnuderdale attended by Chatrles J. Fox, Esq, anid Benedict Arnold by Lord Ilawke. Lauderdatle re ceived Arinold's fire utthurt, anid refused to returtn it. On heitng asked -why ho did tntt, ho replied, '1 leave him lor tito exe cutioner!' The1 seconds retired for a few minutes, atnd said that Lord L: mtust tire tat General Artnold, or retract the expres sion Ite had used. Th'le noblemant theni re plied, 'that lhe did ttot citme out to fire at Arnobl. attd if lie (Arnold) wtas not sa. tisfied, lie mightt fire at htimt till he wsas.' This ended the qu arrel,-l'oor Arnold lived and died a disgraced moan, even in the eyes of the English.

Every one here talks of the Cuba expe dition, as if it had really been well con certed and arranged. and was still to be prosecuted in opposition to the orders and vigilance of this Government. There cer tainly has been a concerted effort to get up an expedition.for the purpose of revolu tionizing this Government. But it is not yet known that many persons of capital, character, or means were en-gaged in it. It is said that two hundred and fifty thou sand dollars were to have been raised in the city of New York, chiefly by mer chants, in aid of' this, enterprise, but the names of no respectable persons have yet been given. In Baltimore, and in this city, there were agents busy in. promoting the scheme. In New-Orleans and Mobile efforts were made for the samo objects. General Worth was offered the ;comrnand of the expedition together withr the pro mise of one hundred thousand dollars, as a bonus for resigning his commission in the service of the United States. But there is .no reason to believe that he listened to the proposal... Several officers, now and late of the U. S. army, also'received flat tering. proposals for the furtherance of the 'same project. But it does not appear that the confede rates had secured any efflicient aid in Cuba. It is the opinion of intelligent Americans who passed the last winter in Cuba, and the opinion is confirmed, as' I understand by our Consuls in Cubs, that the.Islands gen'erally, do not desire a revolution, and will resist it. There has always existed, however, a combination against the gov ernment, and several persons-have at dif ferent times been arrested, or compelled to fly, as conspirators for its overthrow. They have ntit. tidiong themselves, any men of erbinencejas leaders. Gen Loper, who was condemned to death, but- had previously escapel to New York, is said to have been distinguished as a 'soldier in Spain. The Spanish troops in Cuba, are not at all concerned in the movement; but, perhaps it tnay have been the intention to bu' them over. In fact it. is more than 'probable, ibat if the revolutionists -should make an attempt, aided by afdw thotirand adven turers from the United States, it would' be a miserable failure, at least under present circumstances.' Some yrgung Cubg Cre leirrho hWir s'eeiierrthei''Ths'iitonsof their government, are now in the United States, and have no doubt, been the chief promoters of the movement here. It is the general impression that the project will be abandoned- for the presept, in consequence of the prompt measures-taken by our- gov. ernment for the preservation of our neu irality. The Tariff' question has recently been discussed by politicians of both political parties, assembled from ditrerent parts of the country at Ne wport. They have agreed. it is said, to recommend specific duties, in stead of the present system of ad valorem duties on sugar, iron, coal, cotton and woollen liabries. But in miy opinion, the next Congress will not essentially modify the present TarifT. SKarcT or Kossu'rn.-From n letter in the New York Tribune the following s:riking sketch ofKossuih, the loader of the Hlungarian patriots, is copied lie looked paler andl mtre suflering than usual. A glass of medicine stood at his side, from which he tasted from time to time, as if it were the means of keeping itp his physical existence.

G N: TAYLor AND iT-u TAnRIFF.-Gen. Taylor, while at Pittsburg, was waited on by a deputation of manufacturers, who addressed him on the subject of the Tar rifT: . The President replied that the subject of the tarrifr had engaged his earliest at tention, and that he was thankful to re ceive all information bearing upon that im portaut matter. The Secretary of the Treasury hai been engaged in collecting information, and the Executive would he prepared to recommend to Congress such improvemntets in the present syjstem as would encourage all. the great interests of the coun try. and at. the same time insure stability. fte believedthcre were certain articles which required proteclton; but as this govern ment was in the first instance organized by mutual concessions and compromises, he trusted the same spirit would yet prevail, and that the people of the country would be willing to meet each other half-way in all measures of tle general welfare. Sta bility in the tarriff was what Was re.uir ed; and that could never be efl'fecte' by ruing any interest. - The Executive would be preparced to co-operate cordially in any amelioration of the present system.

The great Architect of the Universe, in the mechanism of the heavens and the earth, with its pro ductions, animate and inaninate, displays a power and skill which human hands and human wisdom may attempt to imitate, but which they can never equal or ap pranch. Next to farmers, mechanics are the most numerous and the most important class of the community. Whatever promotes their interests, of course promotes the .interests of the public. They, like farmers, have great facilities and great induceinent to become taen of science au'd sound knowl edge. Every mechanic in every opera tiou hrings into use some principle of sci ence, which principle it is of coirse, his interest and his convenience to understand. Every apprentice boy, no matter how assiduous or how vigorous his emnployment, if lie spends a few minutes daily in useful reading and other modes of improvement, is certaiu to be a man of future influence and respectability. That apprentice who seeks most assiduously the interest of his employer, promotes most effectually.his own interest ; as character is ilie best capi tal a young man can hate for the coin mencement of business. . Mechanics, like farmers, make safe and enlightened statesmen. They are welled. ucated for legislators, and for other. offices, because educated in schools of experience.

The tiife and two, darghters proceeded to Washington city to join Mr. Wm. Mitchel, brother of the pa triot, who has a- government clerkship there. Mrs. Mitchell's worldly circutn. stances are said to be far from .prosperous, and the Philedelphia American truly says: "There will be thousands here to wel come her and to express sympathy in her misfor tunes. Her conduct throngiont thq .tryiny scenes through which she hats passed, was noble as an exhibition of wo matn.-ty re;ionution. tetdcrness and fortitude, and worthy of the husband from whose side she has been seperated." A STRANGE and Fatal Accidctt occured on Saturdatv, to Mr- John Burk, of the firm of Burk & Powel; who have a stone quar ry on Ridled creek, Deleware county, Pa, A few days previous, a stone, weighing per haps two or three tons, was displaced and lodged uponi a. ledge of rock, where it ras very delicately balanced over the quarry pit. On Satuirday the workmen had par takan of their noon meal under it, when Mr. Burk was suddenly alarmed by a creaking noise over his heart, and ins'aItly hounded forward, but stunmbled, and the stone rolling over his leg,' mangled it from the knee joiit downwards.
