The following interesting sketch ana remjuiacence ofthe old fcSugar house" in Liber ty street, New York city, used -by the British in the Revolution as a prison for confining American .Piisoners, and in which

4he most painful and appalling sufferings were endured, have been published in a communication in the New .World,, from Grant Thorium otherwise known as Laurie Todd. V ' ' THE OLD SUGAR-HOUES PRISON . "When ihe Americana had possession of Fort Washington, aud on the North River, it beis 2 the only post held at that time on York Island I belonged to a company,,, of Light Infantry, stationed there on duty. The American Army having retreated from New York, Sir William Howe -determined to reduce that garrison, to the subjection of the British if possible. Our detachment at that tima were shor t of provisions, and as 3en. Washington was at Forte Lee, it was a difficult matter to supply ourselves from the enemy. . .There lived on the turnpike, within a mile of our post, a Mr. J. B. This man kept a store well supplied with" provisions ana groceries, ana comnveu to seep nimsew neutral, selling to both parties; but he was strongly suspected of favoring the British by s?ivin?z them information, &c. Some of our officers resolved to satisfy themselves: and if they "found their suspicions just, they thought it would be no harm to make a prize of his stores, especially as the troops were much in need of the m. From prisoner, and clothes stripped from the slain, we had always a supply ol British uniforms for officers and privates. Accordingly three of our officers put on red coats, and walked to friend B'a where they soon found the color of their uniforms was a passport to his beat wines As the glass went round his ljyal adeas began to shoot forth in - royal toa3ts and sentiments. Our officers being now sure of their man, I was one of a party who went with wagons, and every thing necessary to ease him of his stores. , i "On the following evening, that matters might pass quietly, we put on the British uniforms. Arriving at the House, we inform ed Mr. B. that the army were in want of all his stores, but we had no time to make an mTentory, being afraid we might be intercepted by the Americans: but he must make out his bill from memory,carry it to the Commis sary at INew lork, and gel his pay. Ihe landlord looked rather serious at this whole-' sale way of doing business, bu t, as the wag-1 ous were loading up heTuund remonstrance, would be in vain. In less than an hour his -whole stock of eatables and drinkables were on the road to Fort Washington. - By the direction we took, he suspected - the trick, and ahrmed the outposts of the British' army. la ' fifteen minutes we heard the sound of their horses' hoofs thundering 4 along behind U3; but they weie-. too late, and we -got in safe. - He got his revenge, however.'for in three days thereafter the fortress was stormerVby Gen. Knip'aausen on the north, Gen. Matthews and Lord Cornwallis on the cast, and Lord Percy, and Sterling on the south. So fierce and successful was the attack, that twenty-seven hundred f us were taken prisoners, and numoers 01 tuem, wuu myseii, marched into New Yoik,r arid lodged m the' Crown street (nor Liberty street J sugar house. " ... ' .' . , "It is impossible to describe the horrors of, that prison. It was like it healthy man being lied -Co a putried carcass. I made several attempts to escape, but always failed, and at last begin to yield to despair. . I caught jail fever, and was nigh unto deaih.- At this time 1 became acquainted with a young man among the prisoners, the wretchedness of - whose lot tended by comparison to alleviate my own. He was brave intelligent and kind. Many a long n weary- night he sat by the side of my bod of straw, consoling my sorrows and beguiling tho dreary hours with' his in teresting history. . Ho was the only child of , his wealthy and doling parents, and had received a liberal education: but despite of thcimies and tears, he ran to. the help of his country against. -the mighty. . Ho had never hcared from his parents since .the day he left their roof. They lay near his heart but there was one whose image 1 was there - as wiihthe point of .a diamond.. He, Joo, had the fever in his turn; and I then, as much a3 iii me lay, paid back to - him my debt of gratitude. - "My friend,1 he would say to me, 'It ou survive this dreadlul hole, prom ise you will go to the town cf II Tell my parents and Eliza I perished here a captive, breathing the most fervent prayers for their happiness.' L tried to cheer him by hope, feeble as it was. . 'Tell me :' not,', he would add, 'of the hopes of reunion; there is only ont world where the ties of anection will never break.-and theie, through the meritsof Him who was taken from prison into" judg ement, foroursin?, I hope to meet them "The crisis over, he began to revive, and in a few days was able to walk," by leaning on my arm. We were stsndiug by one of the narrow windows, inhaling the fresh air. on a certain day, when he espied a young woman trying to gain admittance. After parleying for some lime, and placing somethin:? in the hand of the sentinel, she was permitted to enter this d.eary abode. - She was like an : angel among, the dead. ' After -gazing eagerly around lor a moment, she flew to the arms of her recognized lover, pale and altered as he was. It was Eliza." The scene ' was affecting nr. the extreme. And while they wept, clasped in each other's arms, the prisoners within, and even the iron hearted Hessian at the dofcr caught the infectioni She told him she received his letter, "and informed his parents of its contents; but not Itnowing how to return an answer with safety, she had travelled through perils by land nd water to see her Henry. "This same Hes3ian - sentinel had served us our rations for months past, and from long intimacy with the prisoners was almost considered a friend." El:2a, who made her home with a . relative in the city, was daily admitted by the management of this knid hearttd min andjthe small nourishing notions she ' brought in her pockets, together with the light of her countenance, which caused his to brighten whenever she appeared, wrought . cure as if by a miracle. His parents arrived, but were not admitted inside. In a ifo-.v days thereafter, however, by the help ofj

an ounce or two of gold, and the good feel-f be

ings of our Hessian friend, a plan was concerted for meeting them. His turn of duty was from twelve, till two that night- - The sicnal which was to lock, and unlock a cer tain door twice, being given, Henry and my - - ... . self slipped out, and ctept on our bands and knees along the " back wall of the Middle Dutch Church, meeting the parents and Eliza by the Scotch Church in Cedar street. As qtuck as thought we were on board a boat, with two men and four ears, en the North River. Henry pulled tor love, I for life, and the men for a purse: so that in thirty min-J mips f(.r IPHcIncr ih siiaar house we - stood nn thpJerspv shore. -. v-- '--- "In less than a month Eliza was rewarded for all her trials with the heart and hand of!

Thus the old man concluded.- simolv addin? that he himself now, enioved a full share of all earthty blessings, with a grateful heart to the Giver of all good. . , j ". It 13 well to snatch from oblivion a spot so interestins in revolutionary tradition as was! the sugar house prison in Liberty street. J Wit ton fiftV feet to the east-ward of the Middie Dutch Church, is that snot on which stood the bastile. into which manv entered but from whence few returned.

It was the knell of their departiu hour. Before the bell again tolled tor one, they had gone to happier climes. - . " . , - ' Since writin? the above, the relisious services in this church have come to a .final close. The workmen are now engaged in fitting it up for a Post Office. The walls wilt probably not be altered: and from their thickness, and the durable nature of stone with which they are built, under the fostering care of the government, the building may yet stand many centuries, as a. landmark whereiu the English cavalry kept a riding school, and wiihin fifty feet of which once stood the sugar-houje prison of Revolutionary memory. . . , ' ; ' THE FROZEN CREW.
