T BAWSEK MARTINGALE. ,j One pleasant moonlight night, as the good ship Conch Shell, having passed thr equator, was sfowhr wending hr waj lo . ward the Cpe of Good Hope being: dost : haukd in the trade Intttudes, the watch gathered on the torecasile. and Sara (tiison. wno iovea a miory oemrr iuui iiti jnnK,ip - pealed tu bis watcltinates for the- relation ; of some interesting naratire, or striking td Yenture, to enable ihem to pass more pleas iintlj the hors of their watch. - r t Come, Jatk" GriTnsbJr,, said , he, :jrou ' were alluding the other day to an ugl crape jroa gut into once, by being enga ged in a revolt at sea. -Suppose you giv 7 us the fcicts, and . the conaequences such 4 , relation may serve a levson to us, ami teach us to sheer off from the , rocks on which you were nearly wrecked. Sueh yarn wtit lend us hand -to pass the time ; which begins W grow hea,vy.' ; 'To be sure it will,' exclaimed David . Hun toon, who also liked full Well to see a .yarn on stretched and Jack will spin it ' 1 know, with pleasure, even should it prove as long as the pennant halliards.' Jack. Cnuisby made no very strong ob Jection, and on being further urged, con semed to gratify the wishes of his ship mates, and leaning back against the hrH of the bow sprit, and assuming the liirni ed manner becoming his important pom tion as a story teller, proceeded as follows . I once shipped on board the shiy Whip poorwill, Captain Stanway, on a ivoyajre to the Mediterranean. The VVhippoorwill was not a bad vessel, and the captain and officers were not the worst of men ; and I reully believe if the. ship's company had conducted themselves properly we should tiave been a contented and happy set of fellows, and there would have been . no in aurbordination or trouble an board : for ii is a well known saying, and one which is as true as the sun dial on a ship's capstan, that good sailors make -good officers. But unfortunate ly for peace in the cabin n J in the f.recastle, there were two or three old rnan-of-war's men on board, real hard char acters, who had been kicked and cuffed bou the world, until they hated every oo dy in it, even themselves fellows case iiurdened by salt water, who delighted in a row, were uivgntteful for good treat ment, and rebelled against order and dis cipline. To keep such chaps straight re quired a strong curb, the whole time, as firm and as taut as a martingale stay to a jib boom. I 'But Captain Stanway, although in ca : ses of emergency, not deficient in spirit and resolution, wa rather an easy man, of a kind disposition, and loth to resort un necessarily to vigorous or violent measures "This was soon seen by 'the clocksetters' in the forecastle, who resolved to take advan tage of it. Instead of checking their pre sumption and impudence at the first going off, he allowed them to get such headway, that it was hard work afterward to bring them to. A very common error on the 4art of some shipmasters.' 1 'These fellows were lazy, impudent and all-natured thorough grumblers of course When on deck they were slow about their ''work, and unfntthful in the performance of it and always gave short answers and ulky looks to the officers. When below, they were always complaining of the hard usageand holding up the Captain anil jnates to the ridicule and contempt of the rest of the crew and haranguing their watchinates on the folly of submitting without resistance to ib authority of such a know-nothing set of officers. The influ ence of these woKWein fellows, operated mischievously on the minds of their ship mates, mstly young men, who, j without any will of th ir own, allowed themselves lo be led by the nose by the rascals. In--deed, the chief subject of conversation in the forecastle, was the tyrannical conduct nd the folly and weakness of those who had authority on board and it was not long before every manf: myself among tb Test, conceived himself to be most harshly and unjustly used, held the inmates iff the cabin in utter contempt- -and felt desirous to shirk his duty as fnr as possible and pro- Toke and annoy the Captain' and mates Until patience with them ceased to be a vir "tue. " - : ' "' ' ' I 'Matters continued in this pleasant and agreeabte condition during the remainder of the passage. There was open war be - tween the forecastle and the cabin and although we- showed our independence, plated the old soldier and run athwart the hawse of the officers whenever we got a chance, we gained little by the bargain. but came off second best, as must always . be the case in such a contest In a word, -shipmates, we were 'worked up' or! every tack, and led a real dog's life which per haps, was as good as we deserved . 'At length we arrived at Marseilles, and one day after we had been about a week -in port, we irot up a reeuiar row on board the Whippoorwill, which after both mates- had got their eyes bunged up, was put an end to by the interference of the gens d' krmes, a set of long-limbed soldiers,' with --big coses, heavy sabres, and cocked hats. These fellows treated us with little cere- . raony, and lugged us off to jail, where we "were kept on a short allowance of bread and water and garlic, until we bitterly re gretted our ' foolish refractory conduct, humbled ourselves to the officers whom we bad abused, and promised better manners: But this little affair did not sweeten the dispositions of either party j and on the homeward bound passage 5 matters and jtbiegs looked decidedly dark ae Dick Rumpus said when he capsized a bucket ofblack paint down the cabin skylight, when the skipper, and his friends were at dinner.' At last we trhftiaged ' to kick up c -m pretty a shindy, on board the- good ship VbJppoorwill,as any grumbling, growling eld salt would desire to see. , , , , l belonged to the statboard watcbJ Wa were washing decki one- mdrniugras -we wtre 'drawing -'ug with George's bank. - It was in the month of March the weath er was cold arid dreary. , Mr. Bufford the second; 6ate, who always had an eye to his own comfort, w,as rejoicing in a dry pair of woolen stockings and cowhide shoes afraid of wetting nis leet, stepped as gin gexlj about the decks, as a midnight rob toer in Havana. 1 bis was noticed by Lehi Jackson, one of the old man-of-war's men" who seized rhe opportunity to pay off an old -grudge by accidentally dashing two or three gallons of 'cold 'refreshing. salt water .ibout his drumsticks, which-made him ca Lper like a dancing-master, and swear like a jury man. - ' ' i :- J 'You ill-manriered scoundrel I What did you do that for V said Mr. Bufford, af- er executing a pigeon-wing, wrncn woubi have made his fortune on the stage. At this moment Mr.' Bufford'. rage was increased by' perceiving S'malicyuis grit in JncKsoa a priix, wniie Deprave a elv wink to one of his a-atchmates. This con vinced him that the accident was an inten- tionnl tnsuh ; his temper was ..iroused to 'be nighest pitch, and on the impulse of. the moment he gave the grinning Jackson dowse on the chops, that sent him stag gering. against. the bulwarks, and trans formed the grin of satisfaction into a frown of fury j 'Hal that's your play, is it 7' hissed Jackson between his teeth, as he recover ed nis footing, and clenched his fists, rush ed toward the officer, who stepped bark few puces and Seized a capstan bar, wub A-hich he would have beaten inv shipmate to the deck and extinguished his daylight, for ever, if 1 had not caught him by th- rm and prevented the blow. Upon this Vlr Buffird called loudly for assistance, tnd 'the next moment Jackson clinched him, hu?ged him -in his powerful rms and tfter a brief struggle ihrew him with vio lence down into the lee scuppers. Mr. Brooks, the ch:ef ma e, alarmed b- ihe noise on deck, and the cries of Mr Buf ford for assistance, now came tumbling up from the cabin, followed immediately by captain Stanway himself ; the watch be low also hastily left their leaky bunks w the forecast. e, and hastened to the scene of action.- The battle raged with'fury, fir Mr. Bufford had risen, and again grapplett with Jackson, while lJhil. Dawkitis, a i old messmate and covy of Jaekton's, had lack ed to the hr;l officer, who was endeavor ing to return witn interest tne lett-nanuea compliments which he received, but being a man of small stature and strength, was decidedly getting the worst of it. 'Captain Stanway on coming on dck saw at a glance that the state of things was alarming that the crew were in mutinous condition, and h;s mates wen likely to get a drubbing and he returned to bis stale room for his pistols.. Before you could say 'marlinspike be was again on deck, where he found tbat Mr . Brooks had been finished by a facer from Phil Dawkins and lay sprawling between the pumps. Poor Bufford fared but little bet ter; indeed he was handled in a very rough and unceremonious manner by Lem Jack son. Dawkins, seeing the captuin, with determination in his eye, and a pistol in each band, coming to the aid of his offi cers, armed himself with a handspide, and confronted him. As Captain Stanway pre sented the pistol and threatened to kill the first m&n who disobeyed his orders, Daw kins, a powerful fellow, branlish-d the hnd8pikeas if it had been a belaying pin, and supported by Jackson, dared him to fire. 'Captain Stanway fired Phil. Dawkins dropped the handspike, uttered a groan of asony, and fell teavily on the deck i ne report of the pistol, and the fate of their un lucky shipmate, brought the rest of th- crew to their senses; and the mates, bruis ed and bleeding as they were, rangeii themselves by the side of their captain Jackson, myself and two others were at nce clapped in irons. in which respectable an ! comfortable position we were kept, un til the Wbippoorwill arrived in Boston md hard work the remainder of the crew had to mnnagetbe shin with nearly half jibe ships company laid up in lavender. 'I he wound which Phil Dawkins re ceived was a severe one but it did not kill him outright. When we arrived in por he was sent to the hospital and whether he lived or died. I nsver knew or cared. Charges of revolt were preferred against J ickson and three others of the crew, in cluding .myself. Jackson-was found to have been the leader in the affray, and was sentenced to imprisonment for a couple of years, the second mate and the stew ard both bore evidence that I caught Mr tiiifford by the arm, at the moment be was ;oingto demolish Jackson with a capstan bar. I was ordered to quarters in jail for seven mon:hs; the two others, not having taken an active part in the row escape' more easily. In consideration - that thev had been two or three months in jail a waiting their trial, they were discharged nd I've no doubt became wiser if not bei ter men. So'you see, shipmates,' continued Grims by, '1 have had some experience in rel tion to the consequences of cutting capers on ship board It may be a silly prejudice, but I -candidly confess tbat I don't lik this lying in tail. and 1 don't care who knows it to be shut up in a cell ai close as a pump well, and cut off from all exer cise fresh air and fun with short rations, and not a dron of grog. Experience is a good teacher: and you won't catch me en gaging in a revolt, or even a row, on ship board, without sufficient reason; for a jail. I say again, is a dreary place at best an pld ship with a continual leak, miserable grub, hard usage and a drunken skipper to boot, is a palace in comparison to s prts-w on.- Ue8Kiesy this, -might prove a worse matter than tbat a hanging matter for ght " I ' know and 1 am exceedingly ticklish about the ear. No, shipmates, the only way in such cases is1 to do as the bar nacle did whenr be was boiled -gnn and bear it, and whenever you- But Jack Grimsby's moralizing Vemarks. which were gettin? rather prosy, were cut short by a gnifTorder from the chief mate to lay ail and take "a small pull at the weather fore-top-sail brace and lost for ever! ., ; . -.

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION DKKAD FUL Lo.-S OK LIFE On Tuesday afternoon, an alaim of I fire was -sounded which proceeded from North stre t let ween Fetaud GtaikJ streets. Un proceeding fo the spot u e found that Urge urt k bt.ildt g, a K d J tne JcnersjOii. ts.ock, owned and occu pied ly Cornelius Ooherty, wholesale; and retale liquor dealer, ISo. 324 ISorth street, had become fired by the accident al explosion of enmphene or gas. Ow ing to the combustible nature of the slock and'matertals, the premises became a mass of ulames in an almost incrrdi ble shott space of time. But the most painful , part of our report is the recital ut t ie loss of human life. lu the rear of Jefferson Block wpre four new wooden baibimgs, erected in what is called Everett Place. These in.l the main building were occupied by forty-eight families. Such was the progress of the fire that it was impossi ble for all to escape through the jdacr of egress from the back tenements, which w a a very narrow arch, and a distress ing loss of life ensued. The first body rescued from the rum was evidently that of a boy some fifteen years of age, but he was so charred and and disfigured that recognition was out o thi qtu-stiou. Three other bodies were next taken from the ruins one nearly all censti med supposed to be f males. The '' oly of a small boy was also taken out. laving the head on, hut .the feet entire ly gone, and was horribly undistinguish able. Margaret Sweney, wife of John Swee ny, leaped from the 3 story of Doher ty's building to the pavement, breaking her right arm and one of her legs. She was taken t the hospital, and shortly after expi'ed. Aged about 60 years M iry Collins, wife of Daniel Collins, jumped out of a third story window of the same building, and was instantly killed. She. was aged about 64 years, ;tnd leaves a family af children. Three firemen -were at work in Bar ber's alley, upon a ladder, wheu a chim iey fell upon, them, killing one and in juring the other two., The dead man's name is Charles W. Warren, , second officer of Franklin Hook and Ladder Co. No 3. His skull, was badly frac tured, and his lefV leg was broken. 4e breathed about twenty minutes. He was unmariied, and was injured at fire in Roxhury on the 5h ot uly. fie was an ex -member of old 13. Newall Harding, Jr., and Philip Haeketr, hosemen of Bariroat No. 21. were somewhat injured from the same C use. J, VW Regan, hoseman, of No. ltf had hia foot mashed from another accident Au old woman named Margaret Donovan, and her, three children, are believed to have comprised some of the victims. - VV have counted eight dead persons up to six o' clock, and others are belie v- 1 to be beneath the ruins. One heap of charred remains is counted by som as two. and are believed to be mother and child. If this be so, the numbet must be' nine. ' The total loss of property will not be less than $90,900, while the loss to hun dreds of poor families is incalculable, Since writing the above, we are in formed that three of the bodies are those of Ellen keeler, aged 45 years, and Mary and Catherine Keeler, the . daughters of Ellen. It is supposed that they were all together at the time of the fire, and tost their lives in attempting to escape at the front of the ' house, were destruc tion was' mot certain. - - ? . RBLS.
