THIS MYSTERIOUS BELL. ' It wai a dead calm: the sun beamed bright and beautiful upon the oeean, in sitting gbry, and all life aha animation had given place to that overpowering listlessnesa, which none can form any conception of, but they who have ex perienced a iong-oonuauea oala ateea. 1 .; upon lie commenced his career in Connecticut, at six years of age, as a vender of candy, ginger bread and cherry rum ; and was so successiui as to be as good a subject for a heroic hymn from some yankee Homer, as was Hermes, whose predatory exploits, four and twenty hours after he was born, have been celebrated by the bund old man of bcio a rocky isle." xJy tbe way, continues tbe Keviewer, we should like to know what kind of State this Connecticut real ly is. If we are to take Barnum's word for it. the division in which be and bis were raised was a mere colony of sharpers every man, woman, and child attempting to outwit, over- - .J a - r a .i. : :ui a tJSrSS-J tb its queer system of infant ethics, Hr -- - t u Z Kr'iel ! i . outdone by modern Connecticut. The next exhibition of adroitness was to im pose upon the public, as the nurse of Washing ton, a miserableold negress Joice Heth whom he taught to lie and sing psalms. Finding the visitors diminish, he suborned the Press, and Joice Heth was represented as an automaton, so ingeniously constructed as entirely to have deceived tbe public, the conversation apparently earned on by her having proceeded from tbe ex hibitor, who was a ventriloquist. His next de caption wa the celebrated Mermaid, which was instantly exposed here by Dr. Bach man, and cheated the Charleston people of but few cop per, notwiuutandingtbe credulity of some of the daily papers, in ridiculing whose gullibility a writer, who still holds a funny pen, made his first happy effort in versification, flis next cheat wasUeneral lov. Ihumb, who, instead of being the dwarfed man he was represented to be, was in reality a smart child of five years of age. The artful dodger was so adroit as to impose not on ly on the wonder-worshipping American public, but also upon tbe Court and Cabinet of Queen ? Now 1 1 m'l nee m m l i difference between the Know; Koihingi, who say openly that they wont any German an office, nd the Democrats, who ry ibev are entitled to tlif ob, but. take good enreii.ot to p.ive them any but keep all for liiemelve?; but what differer.cn there is, is in tii vr r.f U.e Know N jtinngs, .wluvact honestly ntont it, and practice what they preach ; and 0 for proscription, I don't see that, as a Ger man, 1 am any more proscribed by the Know Nothings, than, hb a Whig, 1 was proscribed by i he Denun'.raifc. So, Mr. E iitir, yon may put that in your Dutch Deinocrutic p' and smoke it. If there is any democratic tirman in this city that didn't proscribe ma and my party as n iiign, l kuuiv linn m n?e oim pointea out; that's all 1 And if they can't tind any,' let them talk no more to me about proscription. When they had the power, th"y proscribed both na tives and foreigners, unless they would fall down and worship th demon rf Democracy, 'and now tb:it they find ithemselves in a minority, they wh ne about proscription ' But 1 not only love my adopted country, and mean to do all I can to serve its interests, but I am under greater obligations to the natives than I am to foreignersand therefore I mean to vote with them. I have b?h three times ruined since I, Lave been here twice by fire and once by robbery and have been three times re-established in business, and every time by the native Whigs and Democrats ; and no fellow-countryman of mine ever yet lent me any oid in my distress, aud therefore they have no claims on me to support them for offices that. by the way, they will never get ; 'And if an of y countrymen are weak and silly enough to let the democrats Use them as tools for their own purposes, up to the time of the election, and then be laughed at for iheir folly, they may do it, but they don't oatch me in any such trap. But there is another thing that made me a Know Nothing, and that is, that I was carried into the culvert" by my brother German, Mr. HeDry Miller, where I "saw the Elephant, " large as lite. In tbe month of September last, I was in Baltimore with him, and he took me up to , the German Roman Catholic Church, where I heard the Priest preach in the German language from 11 o'clock to 1, on politic, with ' a newspaper in his hand, from which he would read, and then address his congregation, and be told them, in my presenoe and hearing, that those who did not come up on the next Sunday aid pledge themselves to vote for candidates x tl at certain parties were to nominate that week. (tor the Maryland election that was to come off on the following month of October.) would no li nger be permitted to claim Jesus as bis broth er, or Mary as his sister, pointing at tbe same time to the pictures of Jesus and the- Virgin Maty. If I had not been satisfied before, this w ould have been enocgh to convince ma of the dangerous influence of the Priesthood, and the 1 unfitness of Roman Catholics to govern this ctuntry ; and that the two matters of Politics and Religion, or Church and State, were too much mixed up with that denomination of Christians, to command my confidence ia the selection of proper persons to discharge publio duties. .That ibe foreign Roman Catholics of this country should be opposed to tbe A.aowJNuth ioes is natural enough ; .but if there is any rea- son why loreign rrotestants oi wnicn i am one) should be. 1 have yet to learn r and will thank the editor of tbe Anzeiger, if he will condescend " . to inform Jne.

" I hear it too. 1 hfr sailors seemed to nave noticed it also, for they were hushed, and listening. , The captain went aloft, .with bis glass, and looked J - . - a .

The sailors stood upon the forecastle in anxious groups, all but the old man, tbe singular expression of whose features I had remarked in tbe morning. He sat alone Upon the windlass, with his hands folded, and bis eyes intently fixed upon the deck but still bespoke not.- -Various conjectures were ha zarded among-as, but none that satisfactorily accounted for the noise. The afternoon passed, and tbe sun again-set. while the tinkling sound still came floating over the waves. It was late before sleep closed my eyes that night. ' When the morning of the next day dawned. the captain went again , to the mast head with bis glass, but no sat) appeared upon the hori zon yet still the ceaseless bell was olainlv to be beard, while not a breath of wind was to be felt. Noon came; and stiU the calm continued, and the sound approached nearer and nearer wben, on a sudden, the: captain from the top cried out, "1 see it now but what it is. heaven only knows : it does net look like any craft that iS . 1 I & Mm ever we qAaa oi man lasnioned. We all rushed to the forecastle, and in si lence awaited th approach of this strange nav igator. It came careering over the water with a rapid motion,: and as it drew near exhibited to our wondering case Sj single black mast rising from th centre of what seemed a bousm and solid block of Wood, but without yard or sail, nor did any living creature aonear unon it. I proposed to take the boat, and board it but the sailors shook their heads, and the captain was silent. Determined to discover tbe moaning of thin phenomenon, I jumped into the boat, intending to scull toward it. when the old -sailor seeing my resolution, declared he would go with me-r and the captain, after a moment's hesitation , also joined us. We rowed swiftly onwards to meet the dbjest of our curi osity, which was now within half a mile of the ship, and in a few minutes were sufficiently near to perceive the bell, the ringing of which bad anuounced its coming, at the top of the mast. - It was green and rusty, as if with age, and the sides of the nOa-descrint hart m covered with barnacles, and Ungled masses of aea-weea. immediately beneath the bell, which still swung from 'side to aide with deafening din, was attached a deep sea line, passing over the side and descending into tbe water. The moment our boat touched this strange Vessel. the bell ceased to toll, aud the floating mass be came immovable. We gazed upon it, and upon each other in amazement ; and at length the captain, in a low and tremulous voice, proposed to return : but the sailor said. "No 1 it An evil hour when we met -this accursed" (bis voice sunk-, and I could net distinguish what he uttered) " but we have met it, and we must not leave it thus. Let Us haul unon this line." We did so for nearly twenty minutes, but with great difficulty, for it seemed as if some pon derous body at the' extremity resisted our efforts. At length, the profound stillness that had hith erto prevailed among us, was broken by the vadium, wuu ioukcu uowo into tne water, and exclaimed, "Gracious heavens! what have we here?" We followed with our eyes the motion of his band, and saw a large objeot glistening white beneath tbe waves, and appearing like a gigan tio corse, wrapped in aVhite cloth, and bound with cords. "Now may heaven shield us I" said the sea man, in a-busky- voice, "it is the shrouded de mon of theses V As be spokry bo drew bis knife from bis belt, and in an instant severed the line.

His fast and crowning successful speculation was tbe engagement of Jenny Lind to sing in America.

The n A. it . ... xweviewer says-v; "tie represents nimselt now not ouly as opulent, but as being a man of high consideration; and he attributes his oo&ition to practices inconsistent with common honesty. ' Is he right, or is be wrong, in bis estimate : We woutd tear he was right, judging from his appointment as Chief Director in the effort to sustain, by flaunting flags, and flaming address es, the New York Crystal Palace, were it not that that was in itself a stupendous humbug. Among every enlightened people df modern time, it has been deemed important to hold up to the young, for their admiration and imita tion, examples of virtue and nobleness of cha racter; but the New Yorkers seem disposed to reverse this rule and woe betide the young Qothamites, when their fathers thus apotheo sise successful trickery : it may reasonably be expected of them, that, true to their training, they will prostrate themselves at the shrine of Mammon 1 Barnum now resides near New York, at his Villa of Iranistan, built from tbe model of the pavilion erected by George IV, at Brighton. j He bas become an improver, and delivers lec tures ; and, on a deliberate review of his career. conceives that he bas a just and altogether rea sonable claim to be regarded as a public bene factor to an extent seldom parallelled in the his tories of professed and professional Philanthro pists! ! !"

The first will draw large assemblages, by exhibiting a little African, striped from head to heel from its birth ; whereupon Parker will deliver thril ling and electrifying Lectures, pronouncing it no luma noturce. but a marvellously significant revelation ; while Sumner will discourse very morally and religiously npon the end justifying tbe means, and the Higher Law authorising the omission of the word "not" from the saying of tne son oi airacn, mating it read : "Uce THE SAD FATE OF GENIUS. The Parisian journals and our own foreign letters have recently been filled with notice1? of the sad and uWimely death of that brilliant French feuilietonul, M. Gerard de Nerval. Here is a most strikiog melancholy illustra tion of the truth, that the heritage of geuius is often a life of sorrow, and frequently a death of eelf-inflicied violence. This writer possessed a most brilliant imagina tion, a beautiful and forcible diation, sharp powers of analyzation, and these qualities were all crowned with the beautiful flowers ot tanoy and the mature fruits of study. Occupying an undisputed rank among the most gilded ot tnat bright galaxy ol intellects, the Iivingautnors oi France, he was recently found, in the dawn of tbe day, hanging lifeless from a beam in a half demolished house, in one of the most obscure quarters of Pans. The event was so hornoie, and the subject of it so distinguished, that for a moment all Paris stood aghast ! While vet a mere bov of eighteen, ne oau mado a translation of tbe celebrated laust ot Goethe, which elicited from that great rival and friend of Schiller the compliment, that he com nrehended mora nerfectlv his ideas in the par aphrase of M. de Nerval, than he had himself expressed them in the original. His literary career was a brilliant triunmh. He was court ed and caressed by the reviews, the theatre and the press of Fans. After enioymg for a penoa theBe triumphs of the intellect, and no tri umphs are more intoxicating and gratetui, that indefinable longing and unrest, whicn onar aoterises great parts, led bis steps to Germany There, where the brilliant Madame de Stael had proceeded him, when banished France by Na poleon I, and had for the first time opened to the! world the rich mines of German genius and learning, De Nerval spent several years. .In the study of the wonderful monuments which that nation has created in the dominions of art, and which are equalled in their grandeur only by the remoteness and variety of the fields from whioh their materials have been collected, he gradual ly forgot that quick practical style and delicate consciousness of the ideas and requirements of general society, whioh smile at sentiment and ideality, and mark the French school. There he became affected with the mysticism of the Roeicrucian philosophers, well known in Germany, two centuries ago, as the pretended discoverers of the philosopher's stone. After the example of these dreamers, he himself became a dreamer, and left tbe cold skies of Germany to luxuriate beneath the gorgeous sun of the East, in the occult sciences and in cabalistic lore. The lifr of De Nerval in the East became a continual weaking dream. The indolent imag inative atmosphere of the Orient, the study of magio, with its attendants of sorcery, enchant ment, devils and departed spirits, and the su peradded passion of love, which at this time seized upon his soul, proved too much for bis intellect, and he became temporarily deran ged. Recovering soon from thia shock, his imagi nation still displayed that magnificent profu sion of riches which had before characterized it. But theoourse of his former studies had unfitted hirai forever for the practical and real things of life. Whether goaded by poverty, or in a moment of temporary insanity, or from that sad and dreadful conviction which some times seizes upon the most gifted minds, that tbe cup of life has been drained to the dregi he put an end to bis existence. - VV e call attention to the sad consummation oi'thecareer of this brilliant and erratio man as a w arning and as a consolation as a warning to like gifted spirits, tbat no extraordinary endow ments, no high-Boaring geniu3, can afford its possessor the sweet fruits of a philosophic and tranquil life; and tbe consolation of a calm and peaceful death, which is not reigned over by those sober and reasonable views of this werld nnd the next, which govern the lives and soothe the death of the great mass of humanity ; as a consolation to those who sometimes repiningly envy the costly gifts of talent which Providence has lavished upon their more favored fellows and denied to themselves. There is a system of compensation running through all the acts of the Almighty. If these extraordinary men sometimes soar very high, they often, too, sink very low. And the very light from Heaven, which should have lighted tbeui to happiness, often bunds ana conducts them to misery. They have their moments of intense gratification and purest pleasure, and their months of deep despondency and gloom. While the mass of mankind is not blessed with the joys of the former.it is also exempt from the curse of the latter, and pursues, in calm and steady enjoyment, the golden mean of life.

He has left nothing for his worst enemy to do ; for he has fairly gibbeted himself. No unolean bird of prey, nailed ignominiously to the door of a barn, can present a more humiliating specta cle, than Phineas Taylor Barnum. as he ap pears in his own auto-biography. Con. AMERICAN RESOURCES. Many of our people, says the Montgomery Journal, and even men who profess to be states men, are very much in the habit, in a sort of Bo abdil vein, of defying the whole world, without the slightest apparent thought of our means and resources to make good our vaunts. England and France, and all mankind generally, are challenged to come on, with a promise that they shall be essentially thrashed, &c. Many, mis led by this gasconade, are not aware of the ut ter defenceless state of all the important points of our country against the modern means and appliances of warfare. The application of steam to marine batteries, making them independent of wind and tide, has changed the whole feature of coast warfare. The matter is one of definite calculation. Batteries that can throw a hun- area pounas oi oia iron, in the same time, to their antagonists' ten pounds, everything else being equal, must inevitably, and in brief time, sweep the latter away. Of course, no foreign or other powers could conquer our country but they might, such is the neglected state of our limited defences, in a short time, effect immense destruction of life and property. No military man can doubt but that even half of Napier's fleet, recently in the Baltic, could enter New York, and particularly in East and North rivers, and off the Battery, could infilade and sweep tbe whole city, and in twenty-four hours burn and - raze it to the ground. A still smaller fleet of armed steam ers, ascending the Mississippi and laying broad side with the levee, could, in a few hours, can nonade with their heavy batteries and sweep New Orleans into the swamp. The immense misery occasioned by this destruction of life and property would not be confinod to those localities, but would be seriously felt through out the country. Congress however adjourned, making but slight appropriations for tbe de fence of important points, though there was a large surplus in the Treasury. ' CHANCES OF PEACE KING OF PRUS SIA. From the London Morning Chronicle, March 15. The conseqnences that were anticipated from the death of the Emperor Nicholas have by no means been realized. That eveut, which was hailed, as tbe prognostication of peace, bas, if possible, added fresh complications to the al ready entangled thread of European politics. It i has arrested the warlike preparations of Aus- any ! tria, endowed with renewed ale the tortuous most intuitive. The English intellect is less ra nA hut. mnre nere verinff : less sudden, but more sure in its deductions. The quickness and mobility of the French enable them to find en joyment in the multiplicity of sensations. Ihey speak and act more irom lmmauiuiu uDpiowivu. than trom reflection aou meuuauuu. iuj therefore more social and communicative; more fond of society, and of places of public resort ana amusement An Englishman is more reflective in his habits. He lives in the world of his own thoughts, and seems more self-existent ana sen dependent. He loves the quiet of his owu apart ment ; even when abroad, lie in a manner makes a little solitude around -him, by his silence and reserve ; he moves about shy and solitary, and, as it were, buttoned up, body and soul. The French are great optimists : ttiey seize upon every good as it flies, aud revel in tbe passing pleasure. The Englishman ia too apt to neglect the present good, in preparing against the possible evil. However adversities may lower, let the sun shine but for a moment, aud forth sailies mecurial Frenchman, in holiday dress and holiday spirits, gay as a butterfly, as though his sunshine were perpetual : but let the sun beam never so brightly, so there be but a cloud in the horizon, the wary Englishman vep tnres forth distrustfully, with his umbrella in his hand. The Frenchman has a wonderful facility at turning small things to advantage. No one can be eay and luxurious on smaller means ; no one requires Iobs expense to be happy. He practi ses a kind of gilding in his style of living, and hammers out every guinea into gold-ieat. tne Englishman, on the contrary, is expensive iu bis habits, and expensive in his enjoyments. He values everything, whether useful or orna mental, by what it costs. He bas no satistao- tion in show, unless it .be solid and complete. Everything goes with him by tbe square toot. Whatever display he maices, tne aeptn is sure to eoaal to the surface. Tbe Frenchman's habitation, like himself, is open, cheerful, bustling and noisy. He lives . i , i -. i r 1 I in a part ot a great notoi, witu wiub pori, paved court, a spacious dirty stone Btairoase, and a family on every floor. All is clatter and chatter. He is good-humored and talkative with his servants, sociable with his neighbors, and complaisant to al! the world. Anybody has access to himself and his apartments ; his very bedroom is open to visitors, whatever may be its state of confusion ; and all this not from any Deculiarlv hospitable feeling, but from that communicative habit whioh predominates over his character, The Englishman, on the contrary, ensconces himself in a snug brick mansion, which he has all to himself ; locks the front door ; puts bro ken bottles along his walls, and spring-guns and man-traps in bis gardens ; shrouds bimkelt with trees and window curtains ; exults in his quiet and nrivacv. and seems disposed to keep out noise, daylight, and company. - His bouse, like himself, Las a reserved, inhospitable exterior ; vet whoever gams admittance is apt to find a warns heart and warm fire-side within. The French excel in wit; the English in hu mor ; the French have gayer fancy, the Junglish richer imaginations. The former are full of sensibility, easily moved, and prone to sudden and great excitement ; but their excitement is not durable ; tbe English are more phlegmatic not so readily affected ; but capable of being aroused to great enthusiasm. The faults of these opposite temperaments are, that the viva city of the French is apt to sparkle up and be trotny, tne gravity oi tne .ngiisn to seme aown and grow muddy. When the two characters oan be fixed in a medium, tbe French kept from effervescence and the JLnglish from stagnation, both will bo found excellent. This contrast of character may also be noticed in the great concerns of the two nations. The ardent Frenchman is all for military renown : he fights for glory : that is to say, for success in arms, lor, provided the national flag be victo rious, he cares little about the expense, the in justice, or the inutility of tbe war. It is won derful how the poorest i renebman will revel on a triumphant bulletin ; a great victory is meat and drink to him ; and at the sight of a military sovereign, bringing home captured standards, i . i i . . i i ne tnrows up nis greasy cap ia tne air, ana is ready to jump out of bis wooden shoes for joy. John JtSull, on tbe contrary, is a reasoning, considerate person. If he does wrong, it is in the most reasonable way imaginable. He fights because the good ot tbe world requires it. He is a moral person, 'and makes war npon his neighbor for the maintenace of peace and good order and Bound principles. He is a money making personage, and fights for the prosperity of commerce and manufactures. Thus the two nations have been fighting, time oat of mind, Which the SSoatii-wind lias grant shore, ssr. ,m'ri...i.ii uralfKn. thv presence And set rafi to thinking ot tWe, Evemor!

WU- Herald. Western Cabinets the imperative necessity of pursuing the war with vigor, and of not aban doning ono item of tbe preparations that are in course j of progress. The tfmperor Alexander has, in this instance, ottered an example to his enemies; for, while pacific protestatiefns will be indulged in by his diplomatists at Vienna. the ste'rnest preparations for war are being car ried out irt bis dominions. His manifesto to the Imperial Guard, which he commanded when .Oesarewitch, breathes a martial vigor scarcely in accordance with the ideas of peace which, hiB accession to the throne had inspired. The recent changes in the military administra tion of the army implies, on the part of the Czar, a determination to wage war with the best resources offered by his Empire. The appoint mentof Hudiger, Osten-Secken, Read andLudg er, to the most important commands, testifies to the admirable judgment of the new Emperor, although, as a measure, their nomination, which will awake tlfo susceptibilities and jealousies of the Russian party, may be unsuccessful. Not withstanding the attitude of the Czar, we rely firmly on the future, and are confident that be fore many weeks have.pasBed, the Allied Ar mies in tn Crimea will have rivalled their he roic feats of the past year, but with more deter mined Jesuits, and that a stable and honorable peace, which no Conference can give, will be conquered within the walls of Sevastopol. 11 n a crowd looking at the body of a man killed on a railroad, a fat Dutchman remarked: "In the, nridsiof life, we are in det."
