[From the N. Y. Mercury.]
A THRILLING INCIDENT.
tfome years since, in one of my passages to
India, we were laying becalmed near the Equa
tor, or in the parlance of the forecastle—the
"horse latitude." Heavy clouds, surcharged
with rain, were hanging down, and apparently
almost touching the ship's mast heads;'the night
was d irk, end a long southerly swell made the
old ship tumble about much more than was
agreeable to either passengers or crew. The
pale, blue compassant was flitting from spar
to spar, cr in the beautiful language of Falco
ner—
'•High on the masts with pale and livid rays,
Amid the gloom portentous meteors blaze,"
making the darkness still more impenetrable.
Six bells of the first watch had been struck,
and now the rain began to fall, in the way that
it only does between the tropics;, loud peals of
thunder broke over our heads, and the lightning
flashed around us, illuminating the ship fore
and aft.
••The ethereal dome iu mournful pomp array'd.
Now buried lies beneath imperious shade;
Now flashing round intolerable light,
Redoubles all the terrors of the night."
At this time the danger from the electric
fluid was so great, that the first mate ordered
all the watch to go under the shelter of the
poop, so as to be less exposed to danger, and
<at the same time ready in case of an accident,
and on no account to go forward near the an
chor, or to stand in the way of the chain top
sail sheets. We had thus remained in a close
body until near midnight, the thunder and
lightning becoming more and more terrific,
quailing the hearts of the stoutest men on board,
when lo! the ship's bell on the forecastle, gave
one loud peal.
"Who is that at the bell," cried out the
mate.
"No answer." Dong, dong.
"Forward, there! what do you mean, by toll
ing that bell!"
All was silent for a moment, and then ano
ther toll louder than before. "Go, some of you,
and see who is tolling the bell;" but no one
seemed inclined to obey the order. "Why don't
you move?" he said again, "are you afraid to
. go?" "Let him go himself," said an old tar, "he
is better paid for it than we are."
The party were huddled together like a flock
of sheep, probably thinking there was safety in
number. "What can it be?" said one. "Old
Davy Jones will have somebody in his locker
before long," said another. "Aye boys; this
comes of letting the passengers shoot the mo
ther Carey's chickens," said a third. "Its Bill
Young's ghost," (alluding to a youngster who
had died a few days before,) whispered a young
lad who stood trembling by my side; "he was
always fond of striking a bell."
The excitement was now so great that the
boldest heart seemed struck with terror; and
.rmen who had braved every danger of the seas
for years were apparently paralyzed and nerve
less. Peal after peal of thunder broke above
our heads, the lightning ..flashed and hissed
around us, the rain poured down as if a second
deluge was coming, and every moment we ex
pected the electric fluid would strike the ship,
and wrap her in a sheet of flame. At intervals
went the bell—dong—dong—dong—making
tire scene more appalling.
For a few minutes there was a cessation of
the rolling thunder, and the mate thought this
a good opportunity of discovering the unknown
bell-ringer. Advancing a few paces, he said,
"Come men, we will go in a body, and so find
I out who is amusing himself witli the bell."—
'■So saying, lie led the way, and we all followed
rather closely packed, and a great inclination
for eacli one to be the last. In this way we
had readied the main deck, when one of the
most intense and withering flashes—no, not a
flash—but a stream of lightning sealed up our
eyes, and was followed by a volley of thunder
which broke directly over our heads, shaking
ihe ship to her very keelson. As soon as we
recovered from the shock, a rush was made for
the quarterdeck, and there we stood breathless
and horror-stricken dong— dong— dong— '
dong. "Ah! hear that sir?" said one of the
men; "its no use tempting God and Bill I
Young's ghost. A shark was along side this j
evening, which bodes no good, and some poor I
fellow will have to leave the key of his chest I
with his mess-inute before long.
A breeze of wind at this moment taking the j
ship aback, the order was given to haul the j
mainsail up, preparatory to bracing the yards
round. Now, although sailors have agreatdis- j
like to encounter anything in the shape of i
ghosts, invisible hell-ringers, Re., they never
think of disobeying an order when tlicy know j
it is for some necessary duty. Away started '
the whole party, the clew garnets were rove
through the windlass holes, (I must speak tech
nically)—dong—dong—dong—the ropes were
grasped, but just as the word was given to haul
up, a hurst of thunder, louder than the roar of
ten thousand heavy artillery, rent the air, si
multaneously with a most vivid flash of light
ning, and every man was prostrated on the
deck; how long I lay there stunned and blinded,
I know not, but on recovering my feet, I began
to feel around me, when my hands came in
contact with a rope yarn stretched fore and aft,
; from the cook-house to the foremast, and as 1
pulled it, the hell began again such a succes- ;
sion of sounds that completely astonished me;
Aiut by tracing along the yarn, I found one end
fast to the tongue of the bell, and the other to
I the finger of one of my messmates. Jemmy
McD , who was snugly seated in the cook's
iioal bucket, taking a comfortable snooze in the
| galley. It being his turn to strike the hours
during the watch, lie had adopted this method
! TO shelter himself from the storm, and a loose
i Tope swinging across the deck with the rolling
lof the ship, caused all the alarm. Master
| Jemmy only escaped tasting the virtue of a

j rope's end, by pleading unconsciousness of
i the storm above and around him. How he could
! have slept under such circumstances always re-
I utained a mystery. When daylight came, we
1 found the sails much scorched, and the main
| royalmast shivered by lightning—nothing but
I the torrents of rain which fell during the night,
' saved the ship and all on board from certain
, destruction.
How TO RAISE Goon APPLES. NO branch
i of rural industry is more neglected than the
I cultivation of good fruit, and none will pay
j the farmer a higher profit for the labor be
' stowed. We shall rejoice if the following re
marks from Mr. R. L. Pell, of Ulster county,
j N. Y., who recently received a gold medal
from the American Institute, for the best Fruit
! Farm, shall aid any of our country friends to
improve their orchards:
I To the Committee on Fruit. Farms:
j Gentlemen:'—Being desirous to compete for
! the premium to be awarded by the American
! Institute at its Sixteenth Annua! Fair, for the
1 best Fruit Farm in the State, I now abide its
rules, and offer, at the request of Mr. T. B.
W., its worthy and very useful Secretary, my
mode of managing.
For some years I have been experimenting
I upon the apple tree, having an orciiard of 20,-
i 000 Newton pippin apple trees; I have found
| it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed
the bearing year, and consequently it has been
my study to assist nature, so as to enable the
| trees to bear every year. 1 have noticed that
it bears more profusely than any other tree,
I and consequently requires the intermediate
| year to recover itself, by extracting from the
J atmosphere and earth the requisites to enable
lit to produce. If unassisted by art, the inter
vening year must necessarily be lost. If, liow-
I ever, it is supplied with the proper sustenance,
it will bear every year.
Three years ago in April, 1 scraped all the
j rough bark off a few of the apple trees in my
j orchard, and washed the trunks and limbs
! within reach with soft soap, trimmed out all
i the branches that crossed each other, early in
June, and painted the wounded part with white
lead, to keep out the moisture, then split open
i the bark, by running a sharp pointed knife
j from the ground to the first set of limbs, in tiie
j latter part of the same month, which prevents
the tree from becoming bark bound and gives
; the inner wood an opportunity of expanding,
j In July I placed one peck of oyster-shell lime
; around each tree, and left it piled about the
; trunk until November, when 1 dug the lime
jin thoroughly. The following year I collect
ed from those trees 1,700 barrels of fruit, some
of which was sold in New York for #4, and
: the balance in London at $9, per barrel.—
| Strange as it may appear, they are literally
i bending to the ground with the" finest fruit 1
! ever saw, a specimen of which is before you.
j The other trees in my orchard, not treated as
j above, are barren, next year being their bear
, ing year. lIOB'T. L. PELL.

| MESSRS. EDITORS —Taking a very deep in
terest in the affairs and prosperity of the great
j American Republican party of the U. States,
: and believing the cause, as far as this city is
concerned, would be much advanced by the
plan which 1 herewith submit, you will please
i give it a notice in your valuable paper, that it
i may reach the persevering and influential men
1 of the party, who will carry out the idea con
j tained successfully. It is simply this: let there
i be a mass meeting called, to take place in a
; month or two, in some large and commodious
■ building, (as for instance the Holliday or Front
J street Theatre,) which might be handsomely
j decorated for the occasion, and invite distin
guished members of the patly from Philadel
; phia and New York, as well as our own citi
zens, to address the meeting on the principles
of the party. Such a course, I think, Messis.
I Editors, would create a party in this "city of
s Monuments" that would outnumber even those
of the larger cities. A. M. H.
I THE WHITE HOUSE IN 1784. A Mr. Wan
sey, whose published notes of a tour in this
country in 1784 have recently been the subject
i of notice in the American papers, gives the fol
lowing description of a breakfast at the White
House:—
I "Mrs. Washington herself made tea and cof- i
| fee for us. On the table were two small plates
| of sliced tongue, dry toast, bread and butter,'
j but no boiled fish, as is the general custom.—
i MissCustis, her grand-daughter, a very pleas
| ing young lady of about sixteen, sat next to
her brother, George Washington Custis, about
j two years older than herself. There was but
| little appearance of form; no livery. A silver
; urn for hot water was the onl3' expensive thing i
;on the table. Mrs. W. appears to be some- j
| thing older than the President, although born j
j the same year, short in stature, rather" robust, ;
I very plain in her dress."
; IMPORTANT DECREE, Isy a Decree of tho
i Portuguese Government, the following Islands

the wharf, turner of Light and
Pratt streets, EVERY MORNING, (except Sunday,)
at H o'clock, per splendid Steamer NAPOLEON, I
Capt. Ross, to Chesapeake City, thence 14 miles |
| through the Canal to Delaware City, in first class j
I I'ackel Boats, commanded by gentlemanlv and expc- I
j rienecd Captains, and thence by the splendid Steamer I
PIONEER, Capt. Ilildtrbaek, and arrive in Philadel- '
pltia early the same evening.
The public are assured that (notwithstanding the j
l false reports in circulation, of this line having been t
1 stopped,) it is, and will be continued, and no exertion ,
; spared to give comfort and speed lo passengers. The 1
only change that has been made is in jilaelug the '
! Steamboat PIONEER on this line in the stead of the
{.Steamboat Portsmouth, because of a popular Preju- I
dice (justly founded) against this last named boat.
Mr. Itces lias been all along and still is the Agent, in
Philadelphia, of the only Opposition Line.
LOOK OUT FOR IMPOSITION! The Portsmouth
Line is run by a "Monopolizing Campatiy" for the |
purpose of putting down the regular opposition. If;
you wish to keep the fare reduced from $4 to I
; go by the Steamer NAPOLEON, and no other. Tbe
accommodations by this line arc warranted to be equal j
to any running.
The Line by NAPOLEON and PIONEER was I
commenced in June, by the individual enterprize of
our own city anil Philadelphia, and it is hoped that a
generous public will sustain it against the Portsmouth
Line lately started, and run (there is good reason to
believe) by the Rail toad Company's agent.
