TIIE SEA TIGER. The scaling schooner l'acilic, which arrived at this porta few days frince. brought heme the kull apd hide ol a sea tiger, taken near the South Georgian islands. This brave tenant of tho deep, measured seven feet in length, and girted three and a half when killed. The general shape of the head is that of the common seal, with the exception that it is mor elongated, and the sockets of -the ryes deeper and broader. It measures tiftocn and a quarter inches from the extremity ot the nose to the great hole of the occipital bone. The length of the lower

jaw. from the chin to the point of aritr.ota'ion with ttie iipperjaw bore, is elevt'.i and a half inches. A straight 'line dr iu n from one articulating pro cess to the other, measures su inches. The number of teeth is Ihirty-lwo, l of which arc tusks. The largest tusk is an inch and a quarter long, and one inch sn urcumterence at its base. In each jaw there arc ten grinders, which immediately after emerging from their eckefs. aredivKi-' d into thrM- uis'U'U conical portions, the rentrnl division be ing more than rial; a?i inch 'onir, and the two latter ones the lourih of an inch, all terminating with sharp smooth points. Ti e skin is covered wilh thick short hair, of gray color on the hack, and spotted w i'.h black and white on the abdomen. It has short, strong dippers, and moves with surprising velocity in the water: all its motions in that clement beinx indicative of creat strength."

T!e crew of the Pacific M t.re -quently chased by sea ticers, w h : th.ey were cruising in their boats. Oe one oecasioe, when two of the meswere -.t a considerable distance from ib.e sc'ore, and from vlie shooner, a ti;er nearly twenty feel long, and si in tion, and immediately purged the boat with all possible speed; when no got within ten or twelve feet he leaped fcr the boat, at the same time exposing bis teeth with great rage; but failing to got into the boat, he made a furious attempt to upset it. At this moment one of the party lodged a musket ball in his body, but this only served to augment the animal's fury, and he again attempted to spring into the boat, and had it not been that he received a se vere blow from a lance, would have succeeded, He still kept up a battle with unabated courage and violence, repeated his efforts, and seemed resol ved that neither the power nor weap ons of man should prevail against him, and it was not until the second and third balls were lodged with him that he was overcome. At another time some of the crew were three miles from the schooner in their boat, when they saw a large tiger follow in their wake. It kept at a distance from the boat and betrayed no disposition to annoy the party, which circumstance, induced them, at that time, Iq pursue him; but they soon found, that their iguorancc of the character of their enemy, had led Oiem into iminent danger, and that they were likely to pay dear for their'temcrity, for the tiger prepared himself for Ihc battle, and gave chase to the crew, who immediately pulled for the vessel, and it was with extreme difficulty they succeeded in keeping him out of the boat, or from upsetting it. Some of the. sailors tasted the milk of the sea tiger, w hich they killed, nnd found it excellent. . It has been supposed that the sea tiger nnd the walrus are the same; but they differ in several respects, such as the number, size, shape, and relative positions of the teeth, and in tho form of the head, which latter, in the walrus bears a strong resemblance to that of the human specfe

Slavery. Fxtract from the Debates in the Virginia House of Delegates. MR. GIIOLSON said, Mr, Speaker. 1 have beard ef these lights before but I have looked for them in vain I have never seen them The wretched md misguided fanatick, who excited the horrors of the late Southampton massacre, thought he saw them. It proved however, a delusive meteor, and conducted him to death, and now, all his lights, and ull of his inspirations, are shrowded in the darkness of the grave. j Northern lights have appeared incendiary publication have scattered their illuminations among lis, to conduct the slave to massacre and bloodshed. But these are not lights of the age, nor lights from heaven: it is the 'glare i f Avprnus a darkness visible,' in the light of which, demons and devils alone . delight to dwell. I most ardently hope that those northern lights will not be disregarded or overlooked, by the Southern republics of this Union. Sir, they must be cj tinguished or tho most melancholy consequences will en-sue. Already, I fear, their machinations have succeeded in infusing into themindsof our slaves, a spirit of restlessness and insubordination. These arc the true authors.af all our apprehensions and unhappiness; and . , ...... t , m u,u vol Ul lupon my vovernment to interpose all tho powers at its command, to shield and protect (hem from the evil. The fanatical miscreants are not only violating the statutory laws of Virginia; they an; violating the soundest and ! jusicst principles of international law its-elf, and weakening, and breaking asunder those. kind and amifcable relations w hich should ever subsist between sister States of the same confed eracy. Among civilised governments, it', friendship with each other, when a j citizen or subject of one power. excites j sedition or rebellion in another, it is j u;i cause of complaint on the part'of ii'e iniured government and I know i t" it 1 r i ii os e .:! mice moues oi rearess: me gov otanerd of the offending subject must e:'1 pui ishbim itself, deliver him up to iiio .nrircd government to be punish , consequences, oir 1 nave too mucn i expect for certain northern govern ments within this t nion, to believe they will, upon reflection, tolerate any longer, the publication and circulation of the dangerous and incendiary pro ductions which have of late issued from their press. If however, in this I am disappointed, and if from the pe culiar organization ol.the governments under which we live, thore is no mode of peaceable redress recurod to us, declare, on the responsibility of the public station I occupy, that rather than submit to the continuance of evils like these, without the hope of redress I would anneal to war and deem it the lesser evil. We arc not responsible for the existence of slavery amotrg us. It is here, and no reproach on the one hand or regret on the other, can avoid it But it is'thc duty of a just, wise and virtuous people, to mitigate its evils to the utmost extent ol their ability and to make it subservient to tho best pur poses of society; and on this ground thalengt investigation. I v: ill not dis cuss the abstract question of the righ of slavery; but I will say, that the slaves of Virginia are as happy a la boring class as exists upon the habita ble globe. They arc as well fed, as well flothed, and as well treated. In health, but reasonable labor is requi red ol them m sickness the arc nurs ed and attended to in time of plenty they live in waste in time of scarcity they donot want they are contented to day,ad have no care or anxiety for to-morrow. Cruel treatment of them is discountenanced by society: and tin til of late, their privileges were daily extending. Among what laboring class will you find more happiness or less misery ? Not among the serf ant laboring poor of Europe! INo, tr nor amourr the servants to the North of us. Our slave population is not on Iv a hannv one. but it is a contented J in

peaceful, harmless one. For the last sixty years, while riote, seditions, rebellions, revolutions, blood shed and convulsions have marked the histories; of the fairest nations upon earth, while licentiousness and anarchy, and tyranny and despotism have held their alternate sway, governments been crumbled into atoms, and empires torn from their deep foundations -what has been the history of the internal condition of the State, in which we live? Sir, during all this lime, we have had one insurrection and to a faithful history of that, 1 beg leave to call the attention of this House for a moment. I do not wish to paliate the horrors of that occurrence, but 1 wish to show -to this Hovse, and this people, that none

of its characteristics arc of such a cast as to destroy a sense of scrutiny, or to attach suspicion , to the slave population. What is its history, Sir? An ignorant rebelious fanatic,conccived the thcideaof insurrection. He succee ded in involving four or five others of us immediate neighborhood, in his de signs they commence the massacre they traverse a region of country containing hundreds of slaves; but neither threats, promises, nor intoxication could secure more than from forty to fifty adherents they remain embodied something more than twenty-four hours then disperse without being forced are taken without resistance and are at last hung n the evidence of persons of their own class and color. Is there any thing in this history, Mr. Speaker, to justify the belief, that this whole class of our population is corrupt, treacherous and dangerous? Sir, in opposition to this solitary occurrence of insubordination, I could present to yon innumerable instances of the most steadfast fidelity, and devoted loyalty ut it is unnecessary sutlice it to say, that I believe it a happy, and where well regulated, a harmless population. EXRACT. It cannot be that earth is man's abi ding place. It cannot be that life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity, to float a moment upon its waves, and sink into nothingness. Else why is it the high and glorious aspirations, which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever wandering about unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth and then pass off and leave us to muse on their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which "hold their festival around the midnight throne,,, arc set above the grasp of our limited faculties: forever mocking us with their unapproachably glory? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and then taken from us; leaving the thou sand streams of our affections to llow back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm wheie the rainbow never fades where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that 6lum ber on the ocean, and where the beau tiful beings which pass before us like shadows, will stay in our presence Ibr ever. An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie; for an excuse is a lie guarded. No man should become the trumpeter of his own fame. The wonder we often express at our neighbors keening dull company, would lessen, if we reflected that most men seek companions less to be talked to than to talk. -o::::::::oA DECLARATION OF LOVE, You I love, nor think I joke.
