From a London Paper. ADVENTURES OF A FEMALE SAILOR. The following adventures of a young female, the subject of ihe present article, are so truly genuine, and so extraordinary marvellous, that we cannot refrain from recommending the perusal of them to the attention of our readers. An incorrect statement of the facts appeared in the papers during the early part of the week, but the annexed account being publicly adduced before the Lord Mayor, leaves no doubt as to its authenticity. His lordship, having read the statement, directed M'Lrian. the inspector of the city police, to make

inquiry into the circumstances, in order lint, if the rjirl required assistance, it might be rendered to lier without subjecting ner 10 aunojanur. iutI,ean thought that the best thing he could do, after Wing heard the story of the girl from her own lips,.was to bring her to the mansion house, and introduce her to his lordship. He accordingly appeared before the Lord M33T, accompanied by the girl, the captain of the vessel in which she came to London, and several gentlemen who felt an interest in .the remarkable details of the fact. Captain M'Entire, of the Sarah, from Belfast slated that he met the girl, whose name is Anne . f . . .. t . Al Jane Thornton, at St. Andrew's in North America, j

She was dressed in sailor's clothes, and had all the told me of it. I can bear testimony of the cxtraornppearance of having been brought up to that cm- dinary propriety of her conduct, and I ask her ploymcnt. He engaged her at nine dollars a again whether I have not acted properly towards month, to act as cook and steward, and considered her, particularly from tho moment I became acthat she was what she seemed to be until few jquaintcd with the secret which she was so anxious days before the arrival of the vessel in thc port of not to have disclosed. London. It appeared that some of the crew had ! The girl said that she was in gratitudebound

suspected her before she was seen washing in her j berth, from the circumstance of her having repeat cdly refused to drink grog. The Lord Mayor. It has been reported that she was ill-treated by her captain and the crew. I wish particularly to be informed upon that point. Captain M'Entire said that ho would call upon thc girl to say whether he bad not uniformly treat ed her with' kindness; and whether, when her sex was discovered, the degree of kindness and care was not increased? The girl declared that Captain M'Entire had acted towards her with humanity, and had desired her to complain to him if any of thc crew treated her harshly. She had been, in the course of the vovafo, struck by some of the sailors, because she could not work as hard as they did a thing she found it difficult to do in a gab of wind; hut she did not tell the captain, as she determined to en-1 durc as much as possible without grumbling. The Lord Mayor. Is it possible that this mere girl for she cannot be more than sixteen or seventeen years of age performed the duties of a seaman? Captain M'Entire. It is, my lord. She peformcd them to admiration. She would run up to ' hand the top-gall int sail in any sort of weather, and we had a severe passage. Poor girl, she had a hard lime of (it. She suffered greatly from the wet, but she bore it excellently, and was a capital seaman. The Lord Mayor. Is the account of the romantic pursuit of the person she was said to be attached to correct? Is it as true that she went to America aficr the captain who was said to be her sweetheart. M'Lcan said that the account she had given to him corresponded with that which appeared before the public, but would herself mention the particulars. Captain M'Enlire stated that lie had no doubt of tb correctness of her statement. She was not at all given to loquacity; on the contrary, she did the duty of a seaman without a murmur, and had. infinitely a bottci use of her hands than of her tongue. This description of thc female sailor seemed to he accurate. Her Iftnds appeared with truck brown leather gloves, and it was by repealed cjuestioning the Lord Mayor got from her tiie facts of which thc following is the substance. Anne Jane Thorton stated she is in the seventeenth year of her age; her father, who is now a . wid6ver, took her and the rest of his family from Gloucestershire, where she was born, to Donegal, when she was six years old. He was owner of stones in that part of Ireland, and in good circum stances, and was always affectionate to her. gjjo V i rc'-reltcd tint she had quitted her borne, for her departure, of which she had given no previous nolice to her father, must have caused him many a sorrowful hour. When she was thirteen years old, she met Captain Alexander Burke, whose father i csided in New York, and was owner of vessels there; and before she was fifteen they became strongly attached lo each other. Soon after Alex:mder Burke was obliged to go lo New York, and sue loose me rcsomuon loioiiowmm. ne emitted her father's house accompanied by a maid servant . . . . . . and a hoy, and having procured a cabin boy's lrcss she cxerled herself to get to America. She succeeded in her object. The servant maid and hoy took leave of her immediately upon her cmbarking, tho latter being charged with a message to her father, informing him of her intention. By degrees she became reconciled lo the labors of her new employment, but she beheld with joy the shores of New York, where she thought her labors would terminate. The moment she landed she went off in her cabin boy's dress, to the house of ".Captain Burke's father, and said that she had work - cd under lhe Captain's orders and wished to be engaged by him again. It washy tho fuher of lhe young man that she was informed of the event which placed lhc elernal barrier between them, and she retired from thc house disconsolate, "America was, however, no place to look for sym - nTiimcs. in me oeiiei mai me sen. wmcn no cfonni 1 ' her .affection for Burke recommended lo her, was a more probable mode ol existence than she could adopt in the dress of her sex, she applied for and obtained a situation as cook and steward in the Adelaide, and subsequently in the Rover, in which latter vessel she sailed to St. Andrews, where she fell in with Capt. M'Entire. The Captain of the Hover had engaged to take her to Belfast, but he received an order from the owners to sail for the West Indies; hut ag she was resolved to return lo her father as soon as jKissible, she refused lo accompany him. For 31 months she had been engaged in these remarkable adventures, and participated in the most severe toils of the crews, of which she formed a part.

The Lord Mayor. Are you not weary of so harrassing a life. The girl. Yes, I am anxious to get home. I hope and believe my father will forgive me for the sorrow I have caused him. I have had my own sorrow tor. Captain M'Entire. Tarn anxious to pay her the wages I owe her, and I never had any idea of giving her less than I agreed to pay. The Lord Mayor. How did it happen that you fancied the sailor's dress, well knowing that by assuming the appearance of one, you pledged yourself to perform such terrible duties.

The girl. I couldn't think of any other way, and I did the duties as well as I could. I underwent a good deal. I travelled from East Port, in North America, to St. Andrews, by myself, a distance of seventy miles through the woods. I walked all the way. The Lord Mayor. And without sustaining any ft injury? The girl. I received none. I knew the sailors clothes would carry me through safe, and at St. Andrew's I met Captain M'Entire. Captain M'Entire. It was but a few days ago I learned that we had a girl on board. 1 was the . 1 .1 1 T. 11 ir -n t-v last person in the vessel who was informed of the fiict, and I could scarcely credit the mate when h to acknowledge the kindness and humanity of the captain, who instantly paid her all that was due to her. The Lord Mayor. I shall give direction that you be taken care of until I hear from your father, to whom I shall write to-night. You have done him great wrong by abandoniug him under any pretence, hut you have suffered bitterly for your disobedience, and I trust that you will, by your future attention and care prove to him that your affection is as strong as your courage in such circumstances of danger and toil as you have been placed, it has been so immeasureably beyond that of the rest of your sex in modern days. Many gentlemen to whom I have spoken on the subject looked upon the case as the coinage of the brain, but the investigation has, if possible, added to the interest of the story. Captain M'Entire-mentioned to the Lord Mavor that thc proprietor of the Cooper's Arms, in Lower Thames street, where thc young woman was lodged is a respectable pe rson, m whose house she would be properly laken care of, and his lordship dcsircd that she should remain in thai asvlum. The girl then retired, having gratefully acknowledged her thanks for the humanity and solicitude of the Lord Mayor. She is of low statue, and her limbs are very firmly knit together her face is cornel)' her eyes are dark and brilliant, and her teeth ore extremely white. The hardships to which she has been so long exposed have cornplelely tanned her lace nnd neck, but the sailor i.. i: i i -i .i . the natural color of her skin is as white as snow The female sailor, Ann Thorton, whose romantic history lias appeared in the papers, is all tho go in London. The proprietor cf a minor theatre has offered to pay her a guinea a night to appear in a character got up for her in a piece already prepared for representation. A celebrated artist also appeared to be allowed to take her likeness, and many proposals offered lo nay largely to exhibit her. A correspondent of the Richmond Whig who is lauding the good old fashionable dancing, cotillions, contra dancing, &c. and denouncing waltzes, says: 'The other evening I was at an old friend's in the country, ho has twro lovely daughters; beautiful os the buds of the moss rose, pure as the snow drop, and modest as the cowslip. Their education has been of that sort which once placed the maidens of our state, throughout her borders, upon that proud pedestal of purity, grace, utility and good sense, whence I fear the race of the present day are about to be dashed down by the rude hand of licentious innovation. I read your remarks upon waltzing to j him, and explained the nature of the dance. Now. I .--W V -w- . . j said i, wnen l had limshcu reading, how would you like to see the profligate arms of some Sir FoppinFlutter, rivited about the waist of one of your sweet girls! Sir, said the old gentleman, rising from his ! sCat and clinching his sunburt fist,' "tho'rascal who j dares to linger the ribs of Mary or Kitty, except a licilc v;hi!e before the parson gives him his pass- ; port, shall feel tiie weight of these knuckles." j "Yes, yes!" continued he, "I know well enough what such clawing will come to." IIAADS OFF. I Hockey Jiountains. I his range ot Mountains, ! the highest in North America, except that of ihe ' .... . . . 1 Cordilleras, extends from 70 degrees North Lati- ! tude to Mexico, upwards of 40 degrees where il is continued, under the name of the Cordilleras. In 70 degrees they are so elevated as to be covered with snow most of the summer. Some of the Peaks are supposed lo be upwards of twelve thousand feet, and the base three thousand and five hundred above the sea. The Southern part of the Range is called the Masseme Mountains. A peak in this part of the range is seen at an immense dis i tance on the plains of the Arkansas and Texas. ! From this range flow the River Colorada into the ! Pacific, the River of the North into Mexico, and the j Red and Arkansas Rivers into the Mississippi. The distance of thc Hockey Mountains from the Pacific, is said to be about the same as thai of the j Alleghanics from the Atlantic; but tho extent and i height are far greater than those of thc Allcghanies. rim nrnn u ihnir 15 rmmpnsp. 1 wv - have not been thoroughly explored; but they are isaid to be of primitive formation. It is supposed j that some of the peaks arc volcanic; but it has not been ascertained that this is the fact. The dis tance from St. Louis, at the Junction of the Missouri with lhc Mississippi, to the Hockey Mountains, is two thousand and five hundred miles, &, from thc western settlements of Missouri, eight or nine hundred. There is a hell of woodland for two hundred and fifty or S00 miles from lhe Mississippi, and then begins extensive plains reaching to thc fooloi these mountains. These plains are mostly barren deserts, like some parts of Arabia; and arc visited or possessed by buffalos, elks and other wild animals.

Some branches of tha Missouri River run a great distance among the mountains; and the gates of ihe River, so called, seem to have been formed by the rustling of the water from the higher parts of the mountains to the plains below. The banks of the river, in the mountains, are twice the height of the mountains on North River, near West Point. The chasm is one hundred and fifty yards wide.

1 he range is frequently called the Oregon Mountains. It is nearer to the Pacific ocean than ! to the Mississippi river; and the Oregon has its j rise on the Western slope. Their black and pre-! cipitous appearance has eiven them the name by which they are generall Amnvn in lha U.

The passage to Louisville is generally performed in days, and to New Orleans in from 8 to 10; returning, nearly double this time. Tho ordinary speed of tho boats is 12 miles an hour down the river, 0 up. The editor cf thc Gazette also remarks, that a family emigrating to the west, consisting of 15 persons, (9 adults and (3 children.) with three horses, a waoomsnd a wagon load of baggage, effected a passage to St. Louis from Wheeling, for 100 dollars, embracing six cabin passengers, (with servant,) and eight deck do., the deck passengers and horses being found by the emigrants.

FORCKRY AND DETECTION. A Young Man of very prepossessing and genteel appearance, about 23 years of age, was brought to this City from Louisville, by tha .Marshal of Cincinnati and lodged in Prison, on Sunday morning ht-t, charged with passing a Forged draft, at Columbus in this State. The check was negotiated at the Clinton Bank at that place, and purported to have been drawn bv the Decatur Hank, Al., upon the Union Bank, N. York. It called for S'lH'O, which amount

was paid for it, SIt00 in Clinton Bank Notes and $2000 in a draft upon the Pheenix Bank, N. York, The latter draft was subsequently discounted t an IJnge Office in this city.

Indiana. e find in tho Baltimore American an account of a report, addressed to the Legislature of Indiana by thc Trustees of an institution? c.Mabiuhed by the State fortius instruction of teachers ofeoininou schools. This report present a melancholy picture of the condition of that State, solar as education is concerned. It represent?, that, in Is.'i:!; about one fourth part only of the children, of suitable nge, attended .school: that only one in six- of the children can read: only one in nine knows how to write: one in a hundred only t Indies geography, and a ttill smaller proportion nre acquainted with "grammar. The people complain that they find it extremely difficult to procure suitable teachers; and that thoso whom thy are compelled to employ, ara iu general both depraved and ignorant.
