From the London Literary Gazette. mS BARGE'S CREfV. Alongside of Joe Henderson pulled Pat Diggory, but never was there a more unfortunate wigiit upon the face of the earth, or rather upon the bosom of tSie ocean ; for, according to the poets, the earth has its face, rhile the ocean has its bosom; or perhaps the ocean is the bosom of the earth no matter; but, as I was saving, never was there a more unfortunate wight than Pat Diggory from the comty Kildare. Pat was cast upon the world before he was much bigger than a Munster Paratee; but, as to how he came into being, who were his parents, or whether he ever had any, could never be discovered. The fact is, he was found one morning sprawling under a goosebury bush in the little garden at the back of the cot-

was obliged to wander from cottage to cottage, and pick up a potatoe wherever he could find it. At last he fell into the pow-

ideas, and at the same time kept him very

spare in food. Often did he get thrashed for being hungry, and his back suffered punishment for the faults and misfortunes 01 .as belly. Every mischief was attributed to him. Every morsel that the old cook ap

plied to her own use, rat was condemned for stealing, and got flogged accordi. gly.

If the children broke the pitcners, capsized

the buttermilk, or stole the cream, Pat only was blamed. Once he got thrashed because a horse kicked him, and nearly broke his leg. At another time he was severely punished for tumbling out of a hay loft aiid dislocating his shoulder; till, wearied vith nis servitude, he bade his master good day, determined to try his luck elsewhere. Cork was iiis next destination, and having arrived, he was hired to attend a hunter, and both were to be hired by any sea ofiicer who was

Run, Dermot, run and call thy father, for sure Saint Patrick has sent him a chemnim from the clouds swate crature, how it twiddles its oggles; run, Dermot, run." A'sray straddled Dermot with all the rapidity of a two penny posU and shortly after vards down came Father O Twig. This reverend gentleman was a true son of the Church and as much like his mother as two peas, for in appearance he closely resembled a moving cathedral with a short steeple ; and, although a minor canon, there was always a great diilicult' in making him go off. Not but that he discharged his duty faithfully and his general report was good, for the father Iras a kind soul. Down came Father Q'Twig, while Judy stood with her hands upraised, shrieking to all the saints in the calendar. "Qch botheration,' cried the Father, "what's the crature squalling about? Arrah be aisey, and dont make such a habbaboo. What's the matter, what's the matter wid yees?" "Oh joy to the hour," said Judy, "sure and has'nt Saint Patrick sent you a beautiful cherubim now." "Be quiet, Judy," returned the Father, softly, "be aisey, or you'll frighten it jwav. By mv

worst used. When Pat first saw the ocean,

and the bulwarks of old England proudly skimming o'er the liquid element, his heart began to bound with joy. 'Henceforth,' said he, 'my -ia Ave land shall be on the briny wave.' Accordingly he entered on board the frigate, and was appointed servant to the purser; but they laughed at and scouted him so much that he soon cot sick of the sea, even before he was sea sick. In about three weeks orders came for sailing, and Pat was obliged to hold on the nippers while heaving up the anchor. This he didn'l mind, but he couldn't see the use of holding the end ofa handful of rope yarns, and so he dropt it and run below to his master. 'Why an't you on the main deck, Paddy ?' inquired the ship's corporal, laying on his cane, 4 Why an't you at fhe messenger, Paddy ?" another thump. 'W!; it's the matter?' axed the purser 'matter, Sir? cries Pat, 'by my faith Sir, and I'm tired out with the ship, and every body abuses me. When I first did myself the honor of becoming your servant, and taking you for my master, I was proud of serving a real jontleman, and would do for your honor by night or by day, or all day long, though they call you nip cheese, and say vou chate them out of their allow-

From JVoafis Advocate. Police.-Oii Thursday the officers brought up an old offender, as a confirmed drunkard and vagabond, one who had been often arrested and permitted to run loose, upon promise of amendment. While his commitment to the Penitentiary, for four mouths, was making out, he begged to say a few words; and being an intelligent man, he delivered himself in the following manner: "May it please your honor, I am an Englishman by birth, and have been frequently drunk in old England, but never punished for it.

to cive him a token of remembrance at least

once a day. Being sent aloft on a particular occasion w ith a couple of foxes, to seize a small block on the top-sail yard arm, he used the first fox, and then made a slip bend

and fell overboard. It blowed a gale of

wind, and the sea running very high; but the boat w as lowered from the quarter, and after some time, succeeded in picking him up, and he was brought aboard almost exhausted, with the remaining fox still in his hand. 'You scoundrel,' cried the captain; how came you to be so lubberly as to fall?' 'Faith, your honor,' replied Pat, 'the boatswain's mate told me to let go with my hands, and hold on with my toes, and so 1 tried it, your honor, but it was only done to desave me, bad hick with him.' 'A. id what are you doing with that fox in your hand? 0h! your honor, I took care of dat, for I was afraid the boatswain would thrash me iff left it behind.

He did not live, however, to complete this, and the present volume consists chiefly of selections from his Notes, which are edited by his widow The venerable author of fhe Man of Feeling, Henry Mackenzie, is at present encaged on an autobiographical work, which cannot fail to be eminently interesting to the literary world. Except Bentham, Mr. Mackenzie is, we believe, the oldest living author in Great Britain. Johnson, Goldsmith, Gibbon, Reynolds are all within his recollection ; and in his own country, the great names of the Gregories, Beattie, Cullen, Reid, the Monroes, David Hume, Robertson, Adam Smith, Blair, Karnes, Tytler, Monboddo, Black, Logan, and many others, must all be familiar to him as household words; Mr. Mackenzie, notwithstanding his great age, is as fully in possession of all his faculties, as he was at ya and twenty: and as his latter years haye been passed among" 1.2 !)!Q" est iiterary characters of our own day, such a work as his cannot fail to be one of the most interesting ever published.

The Appollonicon. There is an interesting description ofa noble Instrument of this name in the last London JVew Monthly Mu valine, from which we extract the following curious and interesting illustration of the mode in which sound acts upon the air: "Some of the lower notes, and therefore the most powerful of all, cannot be heard at. all in the room in which the instrument is placed. They cause they whole rocm5 and indeed the whole building to tremble f n a sensible and almost visible manner; but yet yow cannot distinguish the sound. itself. In fact, you can feel it, but not hear it. But on pla ring yourself in a yard at a little distance from the building, and thus bringing yourself within or, as it should rather seem, withow the proper sphere of the sound, you hear it with tremendous loudness. This seems to us the rriost striking illustration we have ever met with of the theory which inculcates that sound is propogated through the air in circles. One can in this instance., almost see it agitating the air tumultuciisly; so as to shake every thing within the range of it, till it reaches a Certain point, and then, as it were, condensing itself and becoming, audible, just as the rays of light, transmitted through a sheet of falling rain, become condensed and visible only at that particular point where we see the rainbow-''
