Itnay be interesting to some of jour readers to know something about the place where the Irish Patriot, Mitchel, is con demned to linger out his days in confine ment on board of a prison ship. They are truly named "Hulks," and I would add loathsome hulks, too. I was once a pri soner of war, and confined on board of them, arid have a most vivid recollection of those floating castfes. The Bermudas, or Somers' Islands, are a small group, situated about half way be tween Nova Scotia and the Autilles, and about 600 miles from the American coast, or from Cape Hatteras. During the war of 1812, it was the head-quarters for the British army and navy on the American station. It was from the Bermudas that the army under Gen. Ross sailed for the Chesaneakc, and for the attack on Balti more- It was also from the Bermudas that one division of the army, distimed for the attack on New Orleans, depared, under the command of Gen. Keene the division under Gen. Gibbs, for the same destina tion, sailed from Jamaica. These Islands are about 25 miles in length, and about 20 broad, anil are divided into about 40 Is lands, the sea running through them in every direction, forming bays and inlets on almost everv side.

The "Ardent," 64, was situated in the bay, about 4 miles from the navy yard at Hamilton, and 3 miles from the tanks, at the head of a long and dangerous reef of rocks which extends from the eastern end of these Islands for about 30 miles, in a kind of semicircle, running all round the western side of the Island. Inside of this reef, and near the head of it, lies the "Thames,'' a large, dis mantled ship, her lower masts only stand ing, looking like three stumps sticking up and a bowsprit sticking out, looking like a dog's tail cut off. This is the place where the patriot Mitchel is incarcerated. This hulk, the "Thames," has taken the place of the "Ardent,' which has been hauled into the docks at Hamilton. Confinement in one of these hulks is bad enough for sailors, who are accustomed to a wet jacket and hard fare; but for a lands nrarr, who has been bred in scenes of refine ment, it is, absolutely, unendurable. Mis fare is the condemned provisions of the British navy, and that which is not condemn ed, an American dogwould turn up his nose at; the scefiery is the constant dash of the ocean against the rocks, laving it into white foars ; shut in-on the south by high hills, and on the . west open to-the broad Atlantic, but locked in by that impassable reef that no vessel dare-venture near. During the war of 1812 to 1815, I was captured by the Lacaedemonian frigate, and carried into Bermuda, where I remained a prisoner of war eighteen months, and was, for a time, confined to the "Hulks." I know them well, and when I was first crowded down into the gun deck of that loathsome craft, I thought my days were numbered. There are very few -persons that can form the slightest idea of an en trance on board of a: prison ship. I had been partially initiated before, having once been picked up at sea by the Melpomene frigate, and once before captured n the coast of France, -and sent on board the hulks at Portsmouth. On- entering the gangway, your mess is called out, and if jthey are not near at hand for your protec tion, you are pretty sure to' loose your "kit." f , 1 he hulk at the head ot tot.

The Goree was a general receiving ship, where the pirate, the privateersman, the sailor, and the landsman were all thrown together. Afterwards, the -American prisoners were transferred to the Ardent, sixty-four, in the upper bay, where the Thames now lies. After a few day's confinement on board of the Goree, I was transferred to the Ardent Nothing' but stratagem can ever relieve the unfortunate Mitchell from his position. In the passage up, inside of the Reef, at least four hundred guns could be brought to bear upon anyvessel that should. venture in, and those at a high elevation. The . uenect Darner to anv approach direct from sea There is no passage through the Islands any other wav, except for small boats, and they would have to pass through the harbor of St. Geoi-e in order to reach the upper bay. After remaining on board of the"Hulks'' for some time, I was fortunate enough to get my parole, and lived on the Island of tot. George until after peace was declared. I he inhabitants of the Bermudas are a very pleasant, agreeable people, and the women are beautiful. The air is pure and whole some, and the fogs from the banks of New foundland bleach their delicate white skins until they are so clear that the blue vein' can be seen through them. Like the West India Islands, sea-bathing is a constant custom with both males and females, and bays and places protected by the iuttino rocks are allotted to the females, where it would be a sacrilege for a male to enter There are many handsome cedar grove, which are considered valuable, and, in iact, they are the only tinner valuable rais ed on the islands, except for home con sumption. Bermuda is a famous place for fishing whales sport around the Island at certain seasons ot the year; anil as for the table, there is noplace in the world, in the same latitude, that equals it. 1 he great boast of the Island is the gruper, winch are caught with hook and line on the coast, and the water is so clear that you can see them take in the bait, in five fathoms. I can not illustrate on paper, or portray the excitement it creates in watching the motions or me nsn, wnen ail tneir move ments are distinctly seen with the eye. fisn ponds anu traps are frequent, and some of them are very large, and contain large quantities of fish, which are always on hand to supply the market, when the heavy gales, which last sometimes many days, prevent the government from taking the usual supply. At some future time I may give you some of my own adventures in these Islands, with an anecdote of the natives: but I don't choose to mil ring while describing the tion ot the vagaries in my own situation and condi unfortunate Mitchell, who. I imagine, I can now see picking the worms out of his coarse brown bread, on the -un-deck of the "Thames" hulk. M. R. CATCHING A TARTAR." The whigs of Mobile, Ala., lately invlt-. ed the Hon. S. S. Prentiss, the "famous, southern orator,, to come up to their help against Cass and Butler. He accepted and what followed is related in the follow extract: After passing a high eulogy on Old Zack, he touched upon Gen Cass and Geiv.. Butler men, he said, distinguished above the ordinary level, and an honor ta anyf party. Gen. Cass, he said, he knew per sonally, as a man of sterling worth, anji possessed of those high moral qualities atu. qualifications that stamped the gentleman, and scholar j for his early daring in defence of the rights of his country, and the receni proud stand he took in reference, to ths Quintuple Treaty, while minister at th. Court of St. Cloud, he admired the man, and the patriot. The whigs looked dumb founded, and reasoned among themselves,, whether or not they had been bit in seaJx ing to New Orleans for - Prentiss. How-. ever, he continued. For this reason,, said Prentiss, I could wish in my heart thafc Cass was a whig. He then touched uyon, lSutler: and here is a man, said he, that I love with my whole heart a nobler spirit, or one of loftier daring, lives, not (and; here you might have heard the democrats, scream and hurrah for miles ) but he couldi not help regretting most bitterly that he should have to vote against him; and i$ Gen. Butler was only on the ticket with," Taylor, he would lahor night and day to-, elevate him; he didn't care if he was a'de mocrat. On the whole, I thought his speech, would do; and if the whigs Vere satisfied with it, I'll swear the democrats were; and) I only hope that Prentiss may continue tcs add ress the people, for he makes as good 2. uemocratic speech as he does win o'- V Great Corn Field. A traveller writes to the Toledo Blade, from the. Wabash Val ley : 44 1 viewed the 1000 acre field of corn (on Wea Prairie,) of the Hon. H. L. Ellsworth, late Commissioner of Patents, were this yearj 60,000 bushels will proba bly be raised without hoeing, simply ploughing the corn two or three times. I may say, too, that I saw 5000 acres, all adjourning. Corn is raised by contract, for 4 to 6 cents per bushel, taken from the field. Hogs a re raised on clover, oats and corn, and it is not unfrequent to find farms with 1500 of these grunters. On the Grand Prairie, no less than 10,000 cattle, fron one to four years, were feeding in different herbs, for the Eastern market one herds man taking care of two to four hundred, for a compensation of ten cents per head, per month. nterestin'T Important Decision. An uecision aas lately ueen made ay judge Rogers, of tlie Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania, in reference to the rale awarding da mages for lands taken by rail roads. It appears that in three cases at the Court of Quarter Sessions, excessive damages had been awarded, viz : to Mr Heiter, for 2 acres and 53 perches, St, 750; to Mr Mc Clure, for 2 acres and 6 perches, gl2G3 ; and to Or Reiley for little more than3 acres, Si, 850. The following is an extract from tlie opinion of the Judge, reversing the judg ment below : . VThe jury appear to have overlooked or disregarded the nsle in estimating the damages, viz: a fair and just comparison of the value of the whole tract through which the road passes, before and after tle improvement is made. Is the proper ty benefitted, or is it injured by the im provement, is a most material inquiry. If benefitted, the owner neither is, or ought to be, entitled to recover any compensa tion whatever ; if really injurred, not a mere fanciful injury, compensation is to be given to the amount of the tained.

On Saturday last we had the pleasure of attending a public din ner at Goldsboro. It was a right tall affair in several re spects, and particularly in reference to the number of people fed (say 1,500 and a certain pie w hich was served up. Barbacued beeves, shoats and lambs are common affairs, and they were there; a pie, however, composed of one hundred and twenty chickens and two shoats,' is not a common thing ; but they had just such a pie at the Goldsboro dinner.
