rii"c'W •""trn once riding through Pipping Forest, then frequently the ecene ol highway robberies, wring for no one, fearing no harm, wnea he suddenly fell tn with a couple of as pretty women as any in the county of Essex- The ladies were i6 the greatest distress. They bad just been robbed and plundered by a couple of foot pads, armed with pistols and dirks, two men of enormous strength, who had gone off across the country, carrying with than the parses, watches, and trin kets of the fair damsels, whose postillion and manservant had not dared to interfere,—C—— had no weapon with him, except his riding cane he, however, clapped spur* to his hone, and started off in the direc* tion pointed oat. Hecarae up with the robbers and single-handed seized them both, and loJged them in Chelmsford jail. They wet# tried, convicted and transported.

The daring which Mr. G—- diplayod in thus encountering and conquering two armed men, beesme the theme of the whole country. His health was drank at all the public meetings. Families who had hitherto been unknown to bit*} flocked sround bim, weer to make his acquaintance. Songs were even trolled in honor of his noble exploit. While, on the other side of the question, the preacher* and free booths vowed deep revenge if ever thev caught him. His death war •aid to be a solemnity determined on by tb^e gentry which throat being repeated to ear friend. Mr. C-—-&f»e determined for the future to follow the exemple ifiis neighbors and never again travel unarmed. Months, however, rolled by, snd no attack wss made son or mansion. The rogues were evidently sncoontoring oneofsuch determined courage.

One winter evening about 7 o'clock Mr. C—with fire other gentlemen, well crammed into the stage coscb, eame to a sudden halt. The door was thrown open and the muzzle of awe

-inruM through the aperture by an individual with a mask, who,after 'hoping that he did'nt intrude,' de{itnanded their watches and purses when lo. tbe six imssengcrs, including Mr. C- aUfiough they had ^pstols enoughamongst them to stock it moderately ex nensive armoury, quietly delivered up their cash and valuables lo this single footpad.

The story got abroad the tale was lold with gasti by those who had envied 'a former splendid feat and additional verses were composed to the song written on bis courage. Jokes were cut at his expense. It was in vain that ho raved and foamed. He took the wisest step, and left the country.

I quote this story as a sort of pendant to a very sim pie case of strange analogy/which came under my ob eervation in Bengal.

Tom Philan (so let us call him)

as good a fellow

os ever drilled a company of sepoys or uttered a good pun at a company's meas table. Brave and generous, like almost all bis countrymen, Tom was fool hardy. In a word, be was a regular out end out 'Tipperary

%a* evening, having exhausted every other topic for belting, wo were trying our utmost to see who could jump highest, when Lindsay backed himself for twenty gola monurs, to touch the top of a high folding door. The offer was accepted* at)d my friend took his spring lie succeeded in accomplishing the task, but as he descended we remarked he had suddenly turned deadly pale, and gasped for breath. The cause was, however, uppircQt he had touched with his fingers a Corbra do Capella which had been lying at frill length on the top edge of the open door. So sudden had been the motion, that the snake had not had time to inflict bis mortal bito, but, pushed (rom his airy position, had lal len ou the floor in tho midst of us.

A scream burst almost from every lip, and a regular, 'sauve qni petti' took place, many rushing out of the room, and even the house, fancying themsclvtfi pursued •by the foil reptilo. Not so, however, Philan who happened to be present whip which was lj' ly up to tlte Cobra miration of every one present.

On one occasion, returning along the Bund at Berhtm pore, fa high ateep ban* erected to keep out the 'Stiver,] which was so narrow on the top as to allow of only one person walking on it, tolerably well primed willi liquor, proceeedod by his kidrautgar carrying a lighted torch, Tom suddenly checked the song he was "rbellowing out on seeing his servant throw down the ns, torch, and rush into tho stream. By the light of the istill burning brand lie beheld a Codiu Capella already 'dancing on its tsil ready to spring at him, its spectacled

^eyee banning like two red-hot cinders, ita head raised, .^its every joint in motion. Tom did not like the looks S^sSof bis eneuiy, but stilt he scorned to fly so, dmwtng ,1'fhu sword, he manfully sitae kod the serpent. How be managed it no one ever knew, not even himself but certain it is about half ad hour afterwards he was found lying fast asleep on the body of the enake, the lioad of the reptile having been foil clo&n off by a stroke of Tow's sabr*.

But pt

t\isilk

perhaps theceolest. (be Wtoet determined proof bf «l»s resolution, was ode that happened a lew days before ,'fl was introduoed to him. Philan, like many others in

India, choose to keep up many ol hie European habits, 'and amongst others, that of preserving neatly fitted •jjfup dressing room, with a table, on which he was able to have constantly displayed the silver ornaments and [mother of pearl handled roxots, contained in a splendid *, 'jcase given to him by an old aunt, when he sailed from-

Europe. His boots were rangou with cow along the wall, his whips hung round, sporting prints studued resemhad a

the chuoam blin, wj

jng ....... igulnr English looking dressing room. Now ono morning Tom was pulling a a suddenly felt something in it* it

on a boot, when

when

he sudSenly felt something in it. It was eold and clammy the chill of its nature struck through the thin

stocking he wore* It moved, it writhed it was eved(|tuly a snake. Who can'imafmie, lar 1MS, portray, the agony of the poor fellow, who at once believed he was a dead man! Some men, indeed I may almost jay every one, would have paused under these circumstances, or attempted to have withdrawn his foot. In -oilher of these esses death would have been the instant result. This all flashed, with a rapidity wisich nothins bot.thought possesses, across the mind of Tom The enako was under hie foot, evidently pinned down, striving to turn iisell in order to bite. Heiat oncessw his only hope. He pulled on the boot with considerable swiltness, and starting up, stamped on the iron edge ol the Venitian blinds, continuing to do so with the very fury of despair for nearly a minute, to the surprise and horror of hissurdnr, who thought his master had suddenly gone mad. TTwn sinking, overcome with agitation and fatigue^on the chair, ho ordered the man lo pull off his boot. He did so, when out rolled a small green snake, one of the meet deadty of its kind, crushto at am to el

The man who had accomplished such deeds mi justJy looked upon as one of the bravest men in India. I dined, shortly after this last exploit, with Tom Philan at his mess. The dinner passed off with much festivity. Many had been the proofs of daring rooounltd to us of members of tho corps present, sad many the boast of what they intended 10 do, when suddenly young ensign wtko was raising from the table, turned round and utiored a piercing scream. We looked back, every eye waa directed towards the spot on which he had ghtncod, when to our horror, we saw au enorraoua snake slowly crawling towards us. lu another instant every soul had risen from his place, and were flying away acroca the square In front of the cantonment aa fast as our legs would carry us. Tom Philan lea the van, shaking with fear, as if the monster were already coiled round hie limbs. A few minutes* reflection emboldened some of the party to return.

servants, nocuous.

CANALS IN CANADA.

The Providence Journal conlains a letter from a friend travelling in Canada, in which the following notice ia taken of two great works of internal navigation in that Provinces—

The works to Which I refer are the Saint Lawrence and Rideau Canals. The Rideau connects the St. Lawrence with the Ottawa, terminating a few miles below Kingston. It strikes the Ottawa at the foot of Chaudiene Falls. Its length is one hundred and thirtyfive miles, it breadth is without limit. The construction of this canal, if it may be so called, is peculiar to itself and is the only instance within my knowledge of a water communication on the same plan* It is entirely formed by connecting a chain of lakes by locks and dams, instead of making excavations. Neither a tow-path or road is necessary, as the navigation is performed ex cluaively by steamboats* and barges towed by them, similar to those on the North river. On the summit level of the canal is Rideau lake, about twenty-five miles in length. It is two hundred and' eighty-three feet above the Ottawa, where it enters that river, and one hundred and fifty-four feet above the St.

Lawrence at Kingston, where the water is on a level with Lake Ontario. Forty-seven locks are required for the ascent and descent, which are built on a scale sufficiently large for steamboats to pass. Their length is one hundred and forty-two feet, breadth thirty three foet. They are built of large blocks of si one, in the most substantial manner. In order to make necessary levels, twenty dams are required of great strength and durability, which throws back the water to a great distance, converting some hundred thousand acres of forest lands into lakes. A great change has consequently been produced the natural appearance of the country. In several instances, says Mr. Taggart, the engineer, a dam not more than twenty-four feet high, and one hundred and eighty feet wide, throws I lie rapids and rivers into a still sheet abovo it for a distance of more than twenty miles. The dams also back the wa^_ ters up creeks, ravines, and valleys and in* stead of making one caual, they form nume rous canals of various ramifications, which will all tend greatly to the improvement of very fertile country. Much of the land drowned by the raising of tho dams is of little value far less than the cost of making excavations. The Rideau canal was made by the British Government at an expense of about two and a half millions of dollars. One important object which the British Government had in view in making so great an outlay was to complete an inland communication, of the greatest importance in times of war. Without this channel, all intercourse by water would be cut off, and supplies could not be sent from one section of the province (o the other.

Tho Stf Lawrence canal is another great work, built by the province. Like the Rideau, it is adapted to ship and steamboat navigation, But from all I can learn, it has proved a bad speculation, and of very little use, as steamboats now pass down the rapids along side of it, with perfect safety, in one tenth of the time it would tako to pass thro' the canal. In returning, they pass up the Ottawa river, and through tho Rideau canal to Lake Ontario. W.

The British cart now send their steamboats or schooners from tho sea, by means of the Rideau and Welland canals to lake Michigan. 1 have seen several vessels on the St. Lawrence, loaded with tho produce of Illinois and Michigan, on their way to Montreal and Quebec, and if necessary, they might pro* cued to England.

From tie Boston Mercantile Journal. I THE CHBWLESS VESSEL. A mysterious circumstance occurred on the shores of Rhode Island about tho year 1760, which caused much remark and speculation at the time and the mystery connected with the incident has not been explained to this day.

Early one pleasant morning in autumn, ft vessel was seen by the inhabitants of the Island of Rhode Island, standing in under a press of sail towards Narragansett Bay. It was a square rigged vessel, and as she approached the shore many conjectures were made respecting her character and name. At length sho was recognized as a brig, belonging to Newport, which was expected from England about that time. About 11 o'clock A. M. she had approached very near the is* land, and many of the inhabitants had gathered on the beach to welcome her safe return, and cheer her as she passed along. The course of the vessel was onward, directly towards the shore, and when the anxious people expected to see her kept off the wind, and steer in the direction of the harbor, to their surprise and alarm they found tbat no change was made in her course, atd not a sail was taken in.

They bailed her bbfieeelVed no answer.— They proclaimed her danger, and warned those QU board to change ber course, or the vessel would be wrecked but even this elicited no reply. It was then remarked much to the consternation of the assembled islanders, that not a soul could be seen upon decks. No human power seemed to direct her motions, and in a few minutes the vessel struck the beach within half a dozen yards of the wondering crowd!

She was bo&rded immediately by men eager to learn the causo of this strange proceeding They found afire atill burning in the camboose, the kettle on, and arrangements made apparently for breakfast. The table in the cabin was set as if for the officers, but no person was found on board. The only living thing visible, was ft slut with ft litter of pup» pies. The long boat was missing, aodnad recently been hoisted out, as was evident by the tackles on the yards, but the baggage of the crew and officers had not apparently been disturbed, and the vessel's papers, and the captain's writing's were all found in regular order. The questions were asked where are the crew Why did they leave the vessel But these questions have nevar yet been satisfactorily answered. None of the, crew of that vessel were seen or heard of from tbat time

Conjecture, of course, has been busy at work, but the facts furnish slight grounds for an hypothesis, and whether the

.. proverb stares one Tu!l in the ffce. But go where we may. and in what shape or form shall we find the timos so sadly changed Ss in the sractioe of medicine. Does a man catch a serious cold—he must take a dose of calomel and jalap—should he have afoul or bilious ^omach, it will take a box of blue package of neat little powders, impregnated wit all infallible mercury, to relieve him. A twinge

gout—a limb swelled with rheumatism—a pain in the side—a severe headache—in fsct, almost every spccies of disease to which human nature is Habte, however slight maybe the attack, tbls universal poison is em ployed to relieve suffering humanity—not only em ployed, but a heavy expense is sctuslly incurred by the sufferer for prescribing, or ordering from the apothecary, this wonderful mineral, in all its (Gyetijfied forms.

Let us look at the resolt. In New York, with ation of 300,000, we have upwards of 7000 deat per annum. In this intelligent oity, then, where most people are so careful of their healths as tq confine them selves during the slightest sttsck, snd cut ia advice, we hate about 25 deaths among every JOOO inhabitants. Mark the contrast! I can point out a single town in New England, within 24 hours ride of New York, containing 4000 inhaWtaats, where then does not occur ten deaths within (he year—and many of

uently called 20 mi lee distant I may farther remark. i$ acoHtcimtciou* *m—for be never attempts the treatment of a ease that be does not anderstaad.

I might adduce a thousand instanoee where the happy effects of my O«N

PHCENIX BITTERS, have been plainlv manifest in desperate eases—tosay nothing of their almost universal approval in ordinary attseksof disease, I do not otfor my medicines to the public as infallible—or as possessing any mysterious ingradients-^l offer them solely as good vegetable preparations, which I solemnly believe will by a fair trial, conquer most of the prevalent* diseases of the day. I have in ray office, at 375 Broad way, indubitable proofs of this fsct. Thousands of my fellow citizens, in all parts of the Union have voluntarily sent me statements the most flattering, of their experience in tbe use of the LIFE PILLS & PIKEN1X BITTERSmsny esses in this city and elsewhere, I have personally attendedall whieh have proved favorable to my previously formed opinion, that in nine cases out of ten, among tho ordinary diseases Wnich our phieicians univeraally treat with preparations Irom calomel and other minerals—a good vegetable medicine would be far preferable.

One woft], then, of sdvice. The LIFE PILLS & PH(ENIX BITTERS are solely vegetable. In their operation, they act powerfully, upon tbeaecretions,snd thas tend to equalize the distribution oreirculstion of the blood throughout tbe system—removing therefrom all bad humors, and restoring even to the complexion of the invalid a pleasing glow of health, which he afterwards retains There are many young persons of sedentary occupations, particularly females, who an often afflicted with an oppression of th« internal organs—which is generally the effect of an ureoual distribution of the blood, consequent on tMr employment. Such afflictions, though slight in themselves, too often, by insensible degrees, lay the foundations of tarborcles in the lungs, ana other maladies, which show themselves only when arrived at an incurable stage. All who value health, will take warning from signs liks these, and never rest till the equilibrium be restored— It is by culpable negleet in each slight esaes, that many good constitutions sre mined, and imny nervous
