Jacob's Scencs 1in the Pacific Oceanl. We caught a distAnt glimpse of Moa. At eight r. ,N. the sky cloud ed over, and became as black as the cook's funnel. We furled the light sails, close reefed the topsails. and made all snug. It was a dismal night ; the thunder roared and crashed around us as if tho heavens had been rent asunder ; the chain lilhting circled around, and seeming ly played over our spars and i igging. We stopped the chain-holes with Cai van, to prevent the electric fluid from entering our magazine. The rain noured down in torrents, and filled' the stern-boat assfasc as one could bail it out. By the glare of the lightning our crew cotld be seen standing in line upon deck, 1assiv-_: buckets of rain-water from the trun,, The second day 'Irter this, in the afternoon, we were sailing to the eastward, close along the coast of Papau, which is here fortned of beautiful elevated lands, covered with the verdure of perpetual summer, anid v.atered by purling stcans cf eier, cold water. A great many came off in hand some canoes, with one outrigger, for the purpose of traflicking with us. They were naked, with the exception of ornaments hung about their per sons, and were stout, savage looking 'men, of a (lark copper color, with hair somewhat longer and straighter than the wool of the negro. Each canoe contained a goodly supply of powerful bows, arrows, spears and war-clubs, all of which, combined with the physical appear ance of these natives, designated them as a race of fearless warriors. They seemed friendly, and we thre w them two lines over the stern, and entered into trade for cocoanuts and jasper stone adzes. They in-ited us politely to come on shore, and said that, in one moon they would bring us plenty of -.ortoise shell, pearl shell, ostrich plumes, ivory, camphor, ntut .megs, edible birds' nests, palm oil, d1iamond, etc. The wind now freshened upI and ,our headway increased, so that the .canoes sheered about, endainge;ing their outriggers, and were obliged to Jet go the tow-lines and drop aster-n. We now arrived at the month of a noble bay; it was a "newv discovery-!" 'X'ho land was elevated, picturi-eju, *tnd verdant. 'Thei east point of the bay was a denuded red clay and i-ocky bluff, from which put off a shoal. With the usual daring of our captain, we boldly entered the bay, arid steer ed for its foot with all sails set. WVe ,now sighted a beautiful small bay, or mouth of a river, that extended to the eastward from the foot of a gulf. On the beach we spied a gireat miul titude of warriors, hurrying along pith bundles of war imiplemnent~s, and Aepositing them in canoes, which .they lanched inuto the water, and put off for the vessel from various coves aind inlets. One war canoe, .commanded by a celebr-ated brave, .was towed, by one of our lines, near the stern. Our captain stood1 upon the tr-affrail, eyein g the acctumulalrting dlangers; and thinking that, when we anchored, and thme crew wereo aloft fulinug sais, the host of the savages might he tempited to piick the sailors oef the yards like so many black birds, lhe Iidet rinedl to hiave a clear course =2ii0 comA~in-" to. n o to fr:dt the natives away for a brief period he gave orders to fire a blank cart ridge from the six-pounder. Thc gun thundered over the water ; but the effect was different from whal ho had expected. It was my ' trick' at the helm, nn(l I was astonished to see the captait fall down besido me, while his tele scope struck my leg violently, and something whizzed overhcad ! Th< savage warrior in the canoe asterr let go of the tow-line the instant h heard the report of the cannon, ani seizing his bow aid arrow, let fly al the captain, who fortunately dodge(d a barbed arrow which was aimed at his heart. The canoes put off in great num, bers ; and the natives were so well armed and seemed ao hostile, that wc deened it safest to retrace our course and stand out to sea. The wind fell away, but we crept slowly towards the mouth of the hay and again approached the war canoc commanded by the savage brave. Ho now showed signs of friendship by holding up two'-cocoanuts ; but the instant he came witijo ; oi the Captain, who stood, ltlthe quiar ter, lie dropped his nuts and seizerl his arrow and bow, aiAd, wNith a frightful scowl of deliance, was wabout to twang it, when the captain level led his rifle and shot him down. The treacherous warrior,utteringa shritk, fell back over the gunwale of the canoe, and, colling overboard, suInk with the bow and arrow in his grasp. The natives who maimed the caine did not appear to take part wN ith their chieftain, and they now idl leaped overboard and heldl their heads above water. under the lee of their boats. We olher ed them no injury, and-, soon dropping astern, they ngaiu jumped into the canoe and paddled tor the foot of the bay. Aii 0n inease fleet of war canoes nonened Iylfdt'li yarri ru 111 amie pouring out of the river, and statev iln full 1,ursuit (f ou r de. voted craft, like a nwigltiy billow, while from every direction advaned smaller fleets, all concentrating ahiend ald off the beams, to aet in concert uitli the king's flotilla. The wind was quite light, an it was impossible for us to escape. The ea; tain very justly remIrLed, that a retreating enemy eiboltlieLs the pursuers.' We accordingly turneld about, and steered for the foot o! the bay. 'The king's flotilla hore down upon us, the narriors chanting the n :i song in treiendous chorus, w hiel was taken up and rolled user the bay, by thousands of voices, acccOn4 paiied by the sound of tun-tuns, war conchs, and the soul-stirring, quick chorus, of the Ilat side of then padlle blades steuck violently agaiusi the side of the canoes. Now and then, between the chorus, the king andh principal braves stood upon tie out riggers of their resiectivo canoes, and, with javelins in their handmts, de livered speeches to cheer their fol. lowers to thme onset. So great wa.~ the din that the captain was foreci to use his speaking troompet tu be heard. I hadl heard of thme Immdiains wair whoop, but never before hle realiz. its terrifying influence. As u e wu ere silent, and returned nto aitsweiit~ yell, dhe savages touk us to bet st feeble andi few in nounbers that dhey could d0 as they pleased wiith ius. ' F'ore and minain top-ment, st ations. cried the captain. 'A rmutrer*, iimaa the arm-chest !' range forty iuskets omn thle trunk and forty on the wind lass .' shot thme eighiteeins with the largest canister of mnusket-his ! A hIarge canister 'onitainled two hiun dred and fifty halls ; a single di.+ charge would th us carry terrtible h a voc from an eighteen poundecr amsid a host of savages within imuskel shot. l'The crisis had now arriredl ; the kinug's flotilla closed ini upon us ; anl with a terrible yell, tme wa ruro launched a volley ofI arrows at ow vessel, that, bristled in die how awlm rigging. They seemed to think t hem selves and their atrrows quite intvinci ble, and expectedl to se us, hk thc( whale when hamrpooned, go into omt flurry.' It was now our tumrn ti chant our war-song. 'The crew stod ranigedl along their stationis ; eaeh tman had1( a cutlass swinging by his ida pair of boarding pistols ini hi: belt, anid near by stood his pike. - 'Yaw her off handsonmely !' saih the canptain t1 m; - keen thn hroad side parallel to the fleet ! Give them a ball from the six-pounder, to spalsh the other side. * Boom !' This ' war-yell' check od for a moment the impetuosity of the warriors ; but upon looking around and seeing that no injury had been done, they took it for granted that it had only been a spout, or groan, or death throe of the 'sea monster,' with whom they expected soon to have fine sport. The king and braves now urged their followers again to onset with their energetic harangues. Again they closed upon us, and discharged a volley of ar. ows, which slightly wounded two of out crew, and one grazed my head too near for couifurtable and composed rellection. ' Rake the fleet with the broad side!' roared the captain. We gave a salite accordingly. For a brief space the vessel was shrouded in smoke, and we remained in doubt as to the amount of dam age we had d(oic. The war-yell had ceased, and now as the smoke dis persed, we saw a scene of fearful de. vastation. Many of the canoes were shattered into peices, which, floated abota upon the water, clasped by hu tanu arms, while son.e were riddled and fast sinking. All the natives not disabiled had jumped overboard, and their heads were bobbing tip and down nder the lee of their respect ive canoes. This is a feat always performed by the warriors when worsted, even when engaged in coi bat with men like themselves. By this iianotivre they are shielded frot a directed arrow, and can occa sionally pick off an adversary the samW as Americai Indians in I tree lighting' or skulking. Onl the ea nLues and fragments lay the dead and dying, groauing in agony and stuipi.:aLttig for mercy l:aate'onipdste bir 0 of h sli itd.i ippear to be awaire of ie dreadful slaughter we had cem itted ; for still they pressed on ward, chanting the war-song! They did not discover their sad mnistake until it was too late. Our ctrew had beemie alarmed, and in reckless Ih'eIIZy*', loured0 volley upon volley ot' iusketry anong the warriors, even atier they had leaped over h)al-rd. I is worthy of particular note. that one noble chief stood up at I1u1l ngtl in his canoe, and paddled sael~y to the shore, being proof agaminst our iullets. The clear blue water of this beau tifil U.v vas dved with the blood of tma'.1Ny a wariri ; and as the groans and gurglinlgs of tle mortally wolllal iose ipon the eni, and we loiked aromiI upon the spectacle, it was app1all ing and heart sickening The firing had ceased, and the warriors Were ffctlially dispelrsel.

The following paragraphs in refer. ence to the politeness of the French we find in the editorial correspond. once of the Albany Eveting turnal; 'We had not been in France twen ty minutes before our ideas of French politeness received a shock. French men permitted ladies to clamber into the 'diligence' unassisted, and com. pelled them to occupy the poorest ents wbe in the, cumborsome ve. hiele. I I are never yet met with an American-not even in the wilds of the W t--who would not offir a lady omnibus. They may be polite in a ball roomn, but they are not polite in that for which Americans are most celebrated, and which, in my poor opinion, nfibrds the most conclusive evidence not only of true politeness, but of goodness of heart. A nation whieb ha an instinctive veneration 5)r 'God's last, hest gift to man,' and which maifests that veneration by the iost delicate attentions on all occa Sion, cannot he 1ar from the verge of civilization. 'I took particular notice of this characteristic or wlhat I had been ,aught to consider the mest polite na tion in the world. I have seen a woman stand ten minutes at a rail road offiee. (jostled on all sides by mu11stachoed getitlemen,) endeavor ing to procure a ticket, No one seemed to feel called upon to make room for her, or to aid her in any % aY to get out of the crowd. I have SeeI another stinggling to get into a car, with a chil l and satchel in her armiis, surrounded by a score of Frenehmen, who couly watchecd her fruitless eflrts, but madeo no proffer of assistance. I have seen others roughly pushed back that a polite Frenichiman might first make is exit out of an omnibus. But I did not see an~y one offer to assist a lady, either m lher- ascent to or descent fr-om an~y public cor~veyance. I have seen ladhies roughly j stled from the side walks on: the IBoulevards-where, if any where, you mightr look for polite niess-and' in crossing from Dover to O)stend, and fromn Ioulogue to Folke stone, I have Eeen Frenchmen stretched out at full length upon so fas, while ladies could find no places to) set down. But I never saw a F~renehmnan discommode himself to 'h'!ige a lady. All this may seem apocryp'hal-and so I would have deemed it but for the evidence of my own senses. 'A'nericans may be ignor-ant of ma ny of the highie: branches of polite new; b~ut if one of' thme ' Universal Na tin' should treat woman as cavalier ly as Frenelhnen treat them, there is not a backwoodmsmani east of the Rocky Mountidns who would not volunteer to pitch him into the Alis sissippi. 'Nor is this inattention induced by want of appreciation on the part of the ladies. I never saw gratitude more genailly expressed than when a venerable P'hiladelphian, with gen uine Yankee promptness, extricated a lady, with a pretty ittle frespop ia bility,' from a crowd at a raik~ station.
