Tuesday, June 10 Went aboard brig Watson, of Sed-'wick and bound for Portland . State of Maine, loading at Dickinson's wharf with pitch pine lumber for ship-buildmg. Toe captain, F. A. Allen, a real thorou 'hbred down-easter. of rough exterior, but a good hearted fellow only 27 years old. He ordered me aboard, and was going right off, but that was the last I heard of sailing that day. Dropped out into the stream at night cabin hot and musquetoes thick great large black fellows, as poisonous as a rattlesnake no sleeping done of course. Wednesday Morning, June 11 The crew went to work bracing and securing the deck load, which occupied a part of that day and two others. Great deal of work to be done about a vessel crew hardly ever idle except some times at sea before a cracking breeze. But the crew of this vessel is the deadest we ever saw. Two men, and two boys well grown and they move just like they had the rheumatism. The Captain and Mate can do more work than the whole four. One fellow in particular, with a broad fat face, looks and moves like he was cursing the day when Adam sinned. The mate gets 23 per month, and the seamen 10. The steward or cook is a black fellow belonging to New York. He is only tolerably nice. He makes good sour light bread ! Thursday, Jne 12 stea mer came along side just before sunrise and tnwed us and a schooner down 15 miles the wind dead ahead, and a fresh gile. When the steamer left, hoisted sail and beat down to the mouth of the river. The mate's cap went .overboard, a right new one woriK-t 50. A man on tjie schooner lost his hat overboard,-, and- jumped into the schooner's boat to go after it. He got the hat, but was left so far behind that when we got down to the inlet, instead of going to sea, we had to lend the schooner our boat to go back for him ; and so we laid near the inlet all night. Here it was very pleasant the stiff breeze quieted the musquetoes, and one could sleepwel'l. - There'are five lights ranging round the inlets, and several up- the river. The constant roar of the waters is like the near approach of a large steamer. A few minutes after we anchored, the smokers or fumi gators came aboard. (In consequence of a num ber of negroes having been kidnapped from Wilmington in vessels, a law was recently passed that every vessel should anchor at the mouth of the river, and be smoked before going to sea, for which they should pay 3. This is very annoy ing to Captains, and they swear at it no little.) The smoking is done by taking some carbonate of lime on a plate and pouring on it an acid that raises asmoke like that from lime when water is poured on it. I may be mistaken, but I don't believe the duty is very strictly performed. Friday, June 13 Pilot came aboard at 3 o'clock p. m. , to take the brig over the bar. (The pilots see hard times and don't get too much for their labor ; but there is, we think, some ing wrong about the system of pilotage. The pilotage of a vessel from Wilmington to sea is about 19. Well, when a vessel takes a steam tow from Wilmington down to the inlet, as a great many do, she n obliged to take the pilot along too, although he is of no more use than a fifth wheel to a coach, because the steamer knows the channel. In these cases the pilotage is an imposition that ought to be remedied. The vessel has to pay the steamer 20 for the tow. We have always thought a vessel should not be obliged to take a pilot unless she needed him. Just as well compel a citizen to keep a horse when he h is no use for him It is a bur then upon commerce. When the pilot is aboard, the captain is not master of the ship. The pilot is responsible, and gives his orders accordingly.) The wind this morning, (what little there is) has-hauled round to the west sky clear. The pilot often before he starts out. goes along the channel in his boat and sounds the depth of the water with a pole. Had not been to sea two hours before there was "one monkey sick." The breakfast went to" mother Cary's chickens.' So Friday, Saturday and Sunday, sick as a dog. Wind almost dead ahead, ship rolled heavily. Could eat nothing, nor drink. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, not sick, but a dizziness of the head that made food repul sive, and created a feeling of abandonment. Thursday morning, 19th A dead calm. Felt like going ou decit, and looking round could take a soda cracker and a little wine and water, weak. (Everj one who goes to sea should take a pound or two of soda crackers some loat suar, a little wine or brandy, and perhaps a few lemons The water on ship board u insuf ferable without something to modify it. Oure was taken from the Cipe Fear river just before starting; and three days at sea it had much the smell of bilgewater, the ye!low dirty tinge of rainwater, and slimy settlings at the bottom like the mother of vinegar. The sailors say river waer is better to take to sea than spring water the foirner gets cooler, and the latter warmer at sea.

Beginning now to be able to partake of the Cap tain's fare slightly. Every day and three times a day, it is corn beef.-Irish potatoes, sour light bread, West India pumpkin or squash, firkin butter toIerabte. sofWetimes' an imitation pudding with a few raisins in it; sometimes dabs fried in lard ; molasses the invariable sauce. Tea and coffee for breakfast and supper but made of the water it is made of, a new hand earruot drfnlf if; I woufd several times have given a quarter for a glass of good water. But the best I could do was to have arrow root tea made as a general drink, and that was hardly to be forced down. The captain' itf learning to play the violin. At a-ny other time this would be a nuisance, but now it is some relief to the dull monotony of the roar ing waters and the creaking ship. (We had as well here put in a few general re.narks. This vessel is owned in Sedgwick, Me., by five or six persons. She cost 7,000 new, is in her fifth year, and has paid for herself twice over. She now takes out from Wilmington, 95.000 feet of sawed lumber, say at 10 per thousand, makes her cargo 9,500. For carry ing this to Portland, say 1000 miles, she gets 700. (The Captain say she ought to get 900.) Her port charges at Wilmington and Portland, pay ol seamen and officers, provisions and so on, will amount to about 3S0, or one-half; so that for a trip of four weeks- the vessel makes $3SQ clear for her owners. The captain "cal'lates" it takes about 700 a year to keep her in order, and she will run about nine years with good luck. Without thorough- repairing. This will give some idea of the profits of merchant vessels. My . passage from Wilmington to Portland is 15.) Saturday, 21 Rather calm, to-day, and it takes nearly all the day to go round Cape Cod. The weather is cool, and has been for five or si days. A thin man needs a cloak around him all day and good covering at night. Stfnday, calm and foggy made no progress. Exceedingly dull and wearisome onboard. Monday morning foggy, but a good breeze and fair. Walked into Portland harbor by 10 o'clock. Foggy and raining. Left the old brig and went ashore in double quick time. Leave for Boston to-morrow. W. II. B. A SINGULAR, STORY.

On her passage from Ireland, the vessel in which young John and his family were passen gers was castaway. For some time all on board was threatened with death by famine. At length lots were cast for a human victim to appease the pangs of hunger. The lot feli upon the venerable grand mother of that noble boy Mrs. Margaret Duncan. Unwilling to resort to such a horrible remedy, the ship's company resolved to postpone the dreadful death for a few hours. The hopeless period again arrived, when lots were again cast for a sacrifice of life ngnin the lot fell upon the same lady. By common consent another respite was granted, the same ordeal was to be passed. Strange to tell the third time, that agetl lady was doomed to die.

Duncan for the ministry of the gospel. That prayer was probably heard- for as tin: lady appeared on deck to render up her life, a voice from aloft announced the welcome tidings Sa"l O!" A vessel hove in sight came to their relief, and in safety they all reached Philadelphia In that city, the venerated grandmother performed her vows.
