The nineteenth century may now be said to have attained middle age, and in the brilliant noonday of its intellect aiH science the impor tant events that marked the tdose of its prede cessor are becoming dim and indistinct, like the vanishing images of a dissolving view. Pro- 1 gress has been so rapid since the pence that a wider chasm intervenes between 1789 and 1851 linn any dividing the preceding centuries : much more than half a century appears to separate us from the eighteenth. But a stirring and troublous period lies before this interval. Life, doubtless, was more rife with interest and excitement to those whose youth belonged to it than il is in this calmer age. One feels that the "old people" of to-day have more of a "his tory in their lives" than our age will have; and even while we acknowledge with devout grati tude the blessing of peace, it is pleasant to listen to stone- of "'the War-time." One even ing, while sitting with a relative of our own, gazing on the waters of the Channel, which mere trembling and quivering beneath the rosy sunset, we expressed some such sentiments, and after agreeing in our opinion that life in those days was more animated by hope and fear than at present, he added, smiling, "For instance, in '97 I narrowly escaped hang ing?" We were much surprised at such a declara tion from one who, at the time he spoke, was a brave and distinguished admiral, and eagerly asked the "how and why" of the adventure; and he toid us. We regret that we cannot re call the exact words of the animated relation, but we will try to give the substance as nearly as possible. In 1797 mutiny broke out among the seamen atSpithead—an inexcusable crime in the opin iou of naval, men, but which he who related the story palliated in some degree, by candidly acknowledging that in those days the poor fellows who were guilty of it had great and just cause for complaint. They were not only ill-paid, but their food was of very bad quality; many captains in the navy were harsh and tvranical—as, in consequence of the perversi ty of human nature, will always be the case; and tiie men w hose blood was freely poured out in the defease of their native land were, to say the least, neglected and uncared for by their rulers. Oh happy consequence of peace and advancing knowledge ! these men are now well fed, have the means of instruction afforded them, and homes provided for them, when re turning from "the dangers of the sea," they are discharged and sent on shore. The muti neers at Spilhead dreamed not of such advan tages as these. Admiral R was a junior lienutenant on board the Saturn when the mutiny broke out: but promotion was very rapid then, and though bearing that rank he was still only a youth in his teens. Probably the mutineers had discov ered, aitd in a measure appreciated the kindli ness of his nature, for exempting him from the thraldom of his companions, whom they had confined in the wardroom, they fixed on him to bear thpir propositions and their threats to the port udmiral—swearing at the same time, that it he did not bring them back a favorable answer tiiey would hang him on theyard-arin! He was obliged to obey their will, of course, secretly resolving, however, not to give them the opportunity of fulfilling their kind inten tions by returning to the ship; but the young officer calculated too much upon being his own master. He \tusput on shore at the Point, and proceeded at once to the admiral's house in the High 3treet. The naval chief gave him a good nutured and cordial reception, and listened patiently to the message he delivered from the mutineers, which was to the effect that they must have an immediate advance of wages, good biscuit, pork, &c., or that they would carry their ship over to the French. "Goonboatd again, sir," was his reply, "and tell these gentlemen that none of their demands cati be listened to till they return to their duty : inlorm them also that the moment they attempt to weigh anchor, hot shot will be fired on them from the Isles of Dogs, and their vessels and h nnelves sent to the bottom. The lieutenant bowed and left the office.— Outside he paused. He was going, in obedi ence to his superior, to certain death. It was a fearful trial of courage and professional dis cipline A mother whom he idolized lived at sjo great distance; he would at least bid her a last farewell. But the admiral, aware of the sacrifice he exacted, so much greater than that «l periling life by mounting "thedeadly breach,' had followed the poor boy, and lightly tapping his shoulder, told him he would walk with him to the beach. Thus, even the last look at home, for which he longed, was denied him. A water man's wherry conveyed him to the ship. It was May—a bright, glorious May, such as England used to enjoy "once upon a time;" and very sad were the feelings with which the young officer looked back up< ■ the retreating town, and round on the glad, sunny.waters aud blue-tinted I»le of Wight, deeming that he beheld them for the last time. Occasionally, also, he told us, his eyes would revert, in spite of his endeavors to forget it. to the fatal yard arm, distinct with ail its tracery of cordage against the clear blue sk v. He gained the ship, wan received onboard, and conducted to the forecastle » here the chief mutineers had assembled. Here he delirered his message.— They were greatly enraged, and commanded 'lint not to repeat the admiral's threat of sink ing the ship to the crew. He replied simply '.hat it was his duty to obey (he orders of his superior officer. Their looks and words 'hreatened him at first wiihinstant and summa ry vengeance; but alter a short consultation oey agietd to try him by a court tnarlial, and proceeding aft, ordered him to be brought be tore them. It was a fearful sccne; the men *ere terribly excited, frightfully ignorant, and beli. ved that their cause required a victim Tbe courage of the you'h bore him through •he trial, however. bravely. He ventured bold ly to reproach them with their guilt in con founding the innocent with those whom they looked upon aa their enemies; taunted them with the cowardly mjuetice of the deed tbey THE DAILY MiFXTUH contemplated,and persisted, in Oppo.iijon to the riiitrlenders' commando, in repeating the admiral'* message to the crew. He was heard by the officer!* in the ward-room, and their loud cheers when he spoke probably pave him fresh courage. The ringleaders becoming alarmed at the effect his words and bearing might have on the Biitish instincts of the ship's company, condemned him to be hung in two hours' time, and ordered him to prepare for death meantime in his cabin. There a new and singular scene awaited him; one of the seamen had taken possession of it, opened his lockers, and finding some brandy, had been drinking till he was perfectly intoxicated, and lay in the sleep ofdrunkenness 011 the floor, which was strewed and littered with the lieute nant's clothes, books, &c. A deep oath es caped the lips of the ringleaders nt this sight. Throughout the fleet the mutineers had foibid den drunkenness on pain of death; for, fully aware of the peril of their position, they kept up among themselves a terribly severe discip line. They were raising their insensible com rade in their arms, and coolly preparing to throw him overboard, when, aware from their words of their intentions, the condemned offi cer struck one of them to the floor, and stand ing over the again prostrate drunkard, declared that while he lived he would not see men who had sailed beneath the British flag guilty of murder! The mutineers paused, touched probably by this generous defense of a foe—for the insensible seaman had been peculiarly bit ter against the officers—and after a muttered oath or two they left the cabin. The lieutenant remained alone with his dis gusting and unwelcome visitant, and the two hours following he described as the most pain ful of his life. It was less the fear of (tenth than the destined mode of it which tortured him: not that he was insensible or inditicient to the blessing of life, for he was t>y n .iuie of a happy, joyous temperament, and fair pros pects of advancement were before him; but in "war-time" existence was held on such a pre carious tenure that the idea of death in battle would scarcely have troubled his equanimity. Two hours waiting to be hanged, however,is a far different trial for courage, and we have never read or imagined any thing more pain ful than the description which the aged admi ral gave us of that (to him) endless period of time. As if to add to the horror of his posi tion, the silence-on board was so great that it appeared as if he could hear the pulsation of his own heart, while the low snoring of the di unken man struck with painful distinctness on his ear. At last the bejl struck the fatal hour, and steps were heard on the ladder. His door opened; he rose prepared to show no symptoms of faltering courage, when the lea ders of the party advancing, told him "that the people had taken his case into considera t on. and as they believed he individually had no ill-feeling toward them, and as he had re cently given proof that he cared for the men, thev had changed his sentence from death to flogging! He must therefore prepare to re ce.ve three dozen on the following morning. My kinsman, with the ready humor that never deserted him, returned thanks with mock gravity for their clemency, and begged them to carry his compliments to the gentlemen who sent them, and assure them that he could r.ot have believed he should ever have felt so much satisfaction at the prospect of a whipping.— The men, always susceptible of fun, laughed. From that moment he was safe! Falstaff wise ly despairs of gaining the love of Prince John, ' because he could not make him laugh;" the young lieutenant acted as if he possessed Shakspeare's knowledge of human nature when he awoke by his jest the slumbering sympathies of the sailors. He was detained a prisoner, but no further notice was taken of the threatened flogging. The mutiny subsided on the 16th of May, when Parliament passed an act to raise the seamen's wages, and the royal pardon was bestowed on the mutineers; not, however, be fore some sacrifice of human life had ensued, as Admiral Colpoys. on the recommencement, of the mutiny on board the London, had or dered the marines to fire on the people, and three seamen fell. The funeral of these un fortunates was described to us as a singularly impressive and touching spectacle. The townspeople were feaiful of some violence or riot on the part of the sailors when land ed to bury their dead,and consequently closed their shutters and retired into their houses.— The mournful procession moved therefore through deserted and silent streets on its way to the village church-yard, in which the vic tims were to be interred. But there was no cause for alarm. The men walked silently and solemnly, two and two, after their slain comrades, astern, quiet sorrow legible on their weather-beaten faces; and nothing could ex ceed the reverence and propriety of their con duct beside the grave. It is a quiet, pretty village church-yard in which these most par donable rebels have their resting-place, not far from which is the large grave where 300 bo dies of those who perished in the Royal tieorge are buried. One can scarcely ferbear wondering at the little real mischief which proceeded from this alarming mutiny. It afforded, on the whole,a noble display oi the principal characteristics of the British seaman—the liolic-epirit pecu liar to him manifesting itsell even when he is most sadly and seriously in earnest. A cap tain of marines, who was especially the object of the mutineers' aversion, was brought on shore by them, and compelled to parade up the High-street to the "Rogue's March," which was drummed before him. He w»s a tall, gaunt old mau, with a singularly long neck. The day after his expulsion from his ship, the crew sent a man to his house with a message, ordering him to "come on board again and be 'hanged 1" The unpopular veteran sent back his compliments; but considering his throat unbecomingly long naturally, he did not wish to have it stretched: he declined, theiefore, accepting their invitation. The men. went away laughing. The people and the times were both extraordinary. Ob!

RICHMOND. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 8,1852. LOCAL MATTERS Examination or the Teedeoab Feeb School.—The truitee* of this noble institution held their annual examination ot the scholar* attached to It, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Between 60 and 70 scholars were in attendance, together with a large number of the friends of the school and the relative! of the scholars. The scene was a delight u one. The faces of the children beamed with p eaaant excitement acd happiness; and the girla in particular, arrayed in white and adorned with wreaths ot oeautiful flowers, looked like a bloom mg garden of young fairies The exercises were opened with a pertinent and pleasing speech from Lu «J W M». a Charming girl, of about 8 years ot age. Col. Elhs, in behalf of the scholars, then pre sented a splendid bible to Mrs. Burton, t e superin tendeat, a. a token of respect and affection on their part towards her. Mr. E. took occasion to allude, in a very happy manner, to the self sacrificing and indefatigable labors of Mrs. 8., while engaged as preceptress to the school during the last few years- The Rev. Mr Hoge made a graceful acknowledg ment of the gift in behalf of the recipient—taking occasion, in the course of his remarks, to affection, ately advise the children. The different classes in reading, geography, mental and practical arithme tic, grammer, history and astronomy, were then examined, exhibiting great proficiency in their •everal branches of learning. A little cherub of a boy, named Nicholas Carlile, about 5 years of age, then gave an address which elicited much applause. A dialogue between Charles Murry and Lucy Bobz followed. A song was then sweetly sung in honor of the Tredegar Sunday school, of which most of the scholars were members. Then came the coro" nation of the Queen of May, a sight upon which the good spirits hovering o'er the tiny actors, must have beheld with celestial joy. So much innocence!— So many guileless and merry hearted performers ! — The scene led us back to the days of early child hood, when we, too, walked proudly one of the envied guard of the blushing, beauteous Queen — Days of purity, of holy joy, uncorrupted by world ly selfishness-undarkened by the blighting pre tence of life-cares and sorrows. Choice books were then presented to six of the scholars who were the most distinguished for good conduct, punctuality and diligence, during the ses sion of the school Their names were Mary Mur ry, Ann Maucb, Mary Mauch, Lucy Wicks, and Nicholas Carlile. The first four received Bibles, and little Nicky a book called the "Little Speaker," a very suitable gift to such a youthful prodigy — Small presents were then distributed among the different scholars, and with the benediction the ex ercises concluded. We certainly shall look back upon our visit to this school as a green oasis in the parched desert of reportorial labor. This school is part and par cel of that vast foundation of general education upon which the superstructure of our republican form of government rests. We hope that the trustees of this school may find it a thriving ward. They cerainly are entitled to great credit for their labors in sustaining and building itup. We under stand that the funds for its support accrue, one third from the State, one-third from the city, one third from private subscription. We hope to see these free, public schools multiplying. Their pro pagation is intimately connected with our civiliza tion and our Christianity. The rising generation are to be the future rulers, for weal or wo*, of the destinies of America. How importan then is it that the seeds of wisdom, of intelligence and of virtue should be sown broad-cast in the field of their minds, that they may grow into a future har vest of wise and intelligent action for our country! Obatobio of Absalom.—This splendid Oratorio will be performed once more to-night, for the ben efit of Mr. 3. evens, as the reader will see by refer ence to the advertisement. The objection to the execution of Absalom, at the first exhibition, were such ai are incident to every first performance. The performers, all excellent, wanted that confidence in their own powers which practice alone can give. They feel backward in "laying themselves out," as the phrase is; that is to say, in giving to the music all the force and ex pression which it is capable of receiving. We were not present at thesecocd exhibition, but a contem porary asserted that the improvement was very great, and several good judges have assured us that it was surprising. We have not the least doubt of the fact, for there were many good voices, and a l-irge amount of good taste among the artistes. All taat was wanting was the proper degree o'' confi dence. We had previously had no conception that there was so muca musical taste and execution to bs found in this city. The only difficulty has been removed. The com pany have been daily practising together—they have encountered the first shock, and worn off the first disagreeable leeling. They are now, we leam, able to do lull justice to themselves, and we feel assured they will do it We expect, for ourselves, and we take the liberty ot saying to the public, that they will find this evening prepared for them, a musical entertainment of which any city might feel proud. The exertions made by all the parties concerned to artbrd us such a delicious enjoyment, surely ce serve the warmest response on the part ot tiie public. We expect to see a crowded house. CHESTEBfiELD Ciecuit Coubt.—The special called term of this court commenced on Monday last. It will be recollected at the last session of this court that Worinley was tried and convicted of the murder of Robiou. A motion for a new trial was made by Wormley's counsel, and it wa* agteed that the trial of that motion should take place at this term. Accordingly, on Monday, Robert G. Scott, Esq., opened the proceedings in an argu ment supporting the object ot the motion, and was followed by Mr. Finney for the Commonwealth. The argument wa* continued by the remaining counsel yesterday. In the case of Reid, indicted jointly with Worm ley for the murder ot Robiou, but tried separately, he nas been set to the bar lor trial, in custody of the jailor, and a jury is now being iinpannelled. R G. Scott is his counsel. Music on th* £<)cabe. —A correspondent re mind! us that it is high time for the Armory Band to rvcoamence playing on the Square on one or two nights in the week. We have no doubt they would be very glsd to do so, provided they could be compensated for their trouble. Has our corres pondent made any effort to raise the proper sum by subscription or otherwise I That is the one poiut indispensable. StjtAUNo.—Nelson, s'ave to iJaTtttelVuftiaifc, on Tuesday stole a lock off the cellar-coor of Mr. Mas chiener's house, on 19th street, an £ waa on yester day punished for his roguery with fifteen lashes. George, slave to U hotxias Bates, stole % bhx of candles from the market-wagon of Wlilisna Bur net, on yesterday morning, and was ordered by | the Mayor 39 lashes, weQ laid on. | 4> W 1 * • li^r Poisokino.—A slave named PhilHa, belonging to Philip White's estate, and hired out to Patrick But ler. administered a dose of poison in the shape of morphine to an interesting little son of Mr Butler's on Tuesday morning, at about 8 o'clock. As soon as the cause of the sudden sickness of the child was surmised or discovered, the proper remedies were administered and the boy's life was saved He is now rapidly convalescing. The female fiend who attempted to commit the atrocious deed, was ar rested and brought before the Mayor yesterday, but her examination was postponed until this morning, owing to the absence of material witnesses. Dischabged.—The continued case of Reuben Slater, who is in the employ of Mr Hough,and was arrested with three passes on bis person—one of them ot a suspicious character —was taken up by the Mayor on yesterday, and H. stating that he fur nished the negro with them, Slater was discharged Presentation.—On Tuesday evening Meters. McMann, Ryan and Bray, gentlemen residing in Madison Ward, presented officer Yarrington with a beautiful rosewood cane. The head was of fine gold, with the name* of the donors inscribed upon it.— It was presented as a mark of regard to Mr. Yar rington tor his efficient services in keeping the peace during the day in the vicinity of the Basin We can only add to this slight tribute of respect our opinion, that we think officer Y. fully deserving of the compliment. He is certainly one of the moat efficient of our smallpolice force. Fin*—We have been informed that Rice's Mill, situated some five miles down the river, on the Man- Chester aide, was destroyed by fire at 9 o'clockTues day evening. The light from the burning building was distinctly perceptible here, and drew out aeve ral of the fire companies. Dischabged—James Brodewick, found by the watch at half past 12 o'clock, Tuesday night, asleep in Main street, and txken to the cage, was on yes. terday discharged from custody. Peter Franciseo arrested in default of free papers, was discharged by the Mayor on yesterday, upon promising to procure them at the next t«nn of the court. John, slave to Turpin & Seabrough, found trespassing upon the premises of Mr. Pemberton, Tuesday night, was* discharged by his Honor, yesterday, with an admonition. Out of Tback.—A negro, named Richard, hired to James Thomas, was found out of track, by the watch, on Tuesday night, and attempted to elude arrest. The Mayor sentenced him to receive ten lashes. Fined.—Several persons were fined for the im proper conduct of their teamsters and for placing nuisances and obstructions in the street K. KK.t.M t & CO., SUCCESSORS OF F.
