In order to load the coal boat on the Lehigh canal, a short but steep inclined' plane of about one hundred and fifty foot in length, is made at the chute which nuis from a station house on the side of the mountain, to a largo circular revolving screen. To the loaded car is attached a rope which d raws irb an empty car, and, arrived at the screen, the lower end ot the car is suddenly unbolted, and the coal is shot with great velocity into a hopper ; this conveys it directly into the screen, which has three large cham bers, through which coal of as many sizes is riddled out, and shot, by scup- j pers, into just as many boat, waiting i for dilf'erent descriptions of tho article. A few months since, a Yankee of the! genuine breed, tpiite inquisitive, but more verdant than a Yankee should be, gain ed the station house, and gazed with wonder at the contrivances. He peculiar ly admired the swiftness with which the loaded car descended and emptied its load, and the velocity with which it re turned to give place to another. Shortly his attention was attracted by seeing a lalwer mount one of the full cars about to make the descent. " Going to slide T inquired he. " Yes, going to chute ; won't you goT " V al, I guess 1 11 stop a bit, and see you do it." The car swiftly descended, and, ere it reached the hopper, the passenger jump ed off safely. " Do you do that often V inquired he of one of the laborers in the station house. " Oh, yes, continually,' was the wag gish answer, " you know most all the boatmen are single men, and as they of ten have orders for 'family coal,1 we al ways send down a married man with every car of that kind, to let 'em know-" " Walnow, du tell," uttered the eastern man. The more the Yankee looked at the apparatus, the more did he become con vinced that it would be a great thing to go down the steep in that way some thing that he could tell " to hum. Plucking up courage, he approached the superintendent. " That beats slcddin down hill, don't it r " I 'spose it does."' " You couldn't let a fellor go down-, could you V ' Why, do you think you can jnmp off in time ?" ' Yes, I'm reckoned considerable of a jumper jumpin docs me good ; I once jinniH.'d off a hay mow thirty feet high, aIltl made me so suple that I'm give . . . .1 - . t.- u..n in to ue uie uebiuuuucr iituiuiiuu tuwu- ship." " Well, get on, and take care of your self." Suddenly the car moved off, and our friend found the speed so fearful, and the declivity so great that he was forced to stoop down and grasp the sides of his vehicle for support. The place where the laborer had leap off was reached, but the Yankee was not in the position to jump ; he had to hold on, and run- ning down a descent tliree times as steep as that which he had come, a sudden click shot the bolt, and, with a violent force, out went the contents, Yankee in cluded, into the hopper. "Murder! get me out stop the coij sarn !" shouted our hero, as he felt him self sliding ' down the hopper to the cylinder. "Murder! stop the consara I'll bo killed." But the motive power of ; the consarn " was water, which had no sympathy with those who pursue knowledge under difficulties, and those who saw were too distant and too much convulsed with laughter to yield assis tance. Into the screen he slid, landing on the top, and as he felt himself revolv ing with the coal, he grasped the wires in desperation, to prevent himself from j being rolled to the bottom around tne wheel he went, and our friend's sensi bilities were touched up by a plentiful shower of fine coal dust riddled through from all the chambers. He managed to get one eye open, and saw with delight that the cylinder was only about fifteen feet in length, and he forced his .way forward to the owning with desperation but it was not altogether auccessiul ; an other revolution of th wheel had yet to bo borne, and the next time he reached the bottom he was ihot out of the scup pers into the boat beneath. To the screams of laughter with which his ad vent wa hailed, our hero said not a 184G word, buC getting; onf ah old! f ladkcr- . chief, robbed the . dust, out of a eyei 1 and, .srirreylng " tom'apparel and , bruised, battered, scratched and cut Hml$ , hft raised Jiis vein,' to kndw as what quality of anthracitt he had been deli ' Tcred when, smashing hU,rflnant.of , a hat over his eyes, he stumped off. mute ' tering, u broker andsereenedtjf tntrrJd Ay " ' -, . -t w c-.-A vi'i.!' ; - - . t " t"f, 1 , 11 W V id' r.l SINGULAR FORTUNES OF AH IRISH OIBL.Vj-i t. , V Arriongst other legends atixitd6teip(' , a romantic kind which Mrs. Blancktey records, we fiml a story of an EtaprlfesS ojt Morocco that is quite as good : a"nyi '.iff thing furnisried by the novelists. Truths " in this casej is quite as good as fktion; and a grcBtdeal rniirc impressive. s Mr. Clark told me the following curious story : That when he was at Alicant a galley arrjved, which had just escaped firorrty Tangiers, whh the first or .fatorit p(0 of Muli Marunncd. tho late Emperor of Morocco, who haa lately been assatairv atcd by his rebellious son, Muli Ismael,, This lady, who, with her attendants, was seeking a refuge in Spain, wat orig inally a Miss Thorhson, ofCork, ana when on her passage from that ctty toOi diz, on a matrimonial expedition, she had lieen captured by a Moorish corsair, and made a slave. Her first intended bride groom had been a Mr. Shee, an Irish merchant settled at Cadiz, who during a visit which he had mode to his native country, had Income acquainted witty and Attached to Miss Thomson, who possessed great charms'; but as some impediments existed to their immediate union, they parted, having first plighted their troth ; and with the Understanding that, at some future period, she should join him at Cadiz, as it would he injuri ous to his commercial interest for hfm tft absent himself again from the field ,of his speculations. , ,!o The lady, in fulfilment of her promise sailed to join her future husband ; but as just narrated, her destiny was changed! by the capture of the vessel she was id by a Maroquin Corsair, which carried her to Fez. Here Miss Thomsou was1 detained as a slave, and closely con fined, until a report of her urommon beauty having reached the Emperor Mali Mahomed, she was by his orders renjov ed to the imperial palace, and every in ducement held out to her, to embrace the Mahomedan faith, and to accede to the Emperor's desire of making her his wlfft Whether it was by persuasion, pflron) conviction that her fate was irrevocably decided, her various scrnples were oVer come, and she became the wife of Muli Mahomed, and subsequently the mother of two sous, who bore the names, the el dest of Muli ismael, and the younger of Muli Mahomed. She was the most fa-i vorcd of her imperial husband's wiret for he had many besides ; and the num ber must have been great, as I hav6 heard both from Mr. Clark and ili, R mans, who were at one tim? established as merchants in Morocco, that the Em peror Muli Mahomed actually formed regiment composed entirely of his own ' sons, to the number of 523, most of (hern being blacks. Mr. Clark says that this wonderful fated lady, when ne saw her, in Spain, was dressed in the Moorish costume ; and, strange as it appears, sbd seemed in all respects to have adopted the taste of the" new country in prefer ence to those of Christendom ; for she af terwards returned to Morocco and there ended her days ' "v. MR. BANCROFT AND SENATOR RtrST.' 'Potomac,' the excellent correspond ent of the Baltimore Patriot, writes td tha paper as follows : Perhaps there never was a man trea-' ted worse than Mr. Bancroft has beetf! People somehow or other if ill not like him. On the Saturday previous to the adjournment of Congress, when the Pref. " siuent and Cabinet were at the Capitol Mr. Bancroft advanced, with his own peculiar manner, up to Senator Rusk and offered his hand to that genUemao, Gen. Rusk drew himself up in all the dignity of his nature for he .is a very fine specimen of a man and said, Sir; I shall not shake hands with any each person as you are. I do not consider yott a gentlemen." " 5 The insulted Secretary repaired . to Mr. Walker and told him how he had been treated by the Texas Senator- Whereupon Mr. Secretary Walker sought out General Rusk and Undertook to chid him (sorQewhat gently though) (or hav ing insulted a member of the Cabinet !'
