Detailed account of the burning of the Alvarade — Masked Batteries on the Florida Coast. It was recently stated that the U. S. sloop-of-war Jamestown, Commander Green, seized and burned the bark Alvarado, off Fernandina, Fla., on the 5th ult. It appears she had been captured by the privateer Jeff. Davis, and was stranded on the Florida coast eight hundred yards from shore, to prevent her re-capture by the Jamestown. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in a letter dated "Off Fernandina," after giving an account of the pursuit of the Jamestown and the stranding of the Alvarado by her crew, says: Soon after she stranded, her boats were lowered, and her crew escaped, carrying with them, no doubt, all available valuables, and leaving the bark with all sail on, to drift farther in shore, in the vain hope of afterwards getting her off or discharging her cargo in boats. By this time the Jamestown had got near enough, it was thought, to bring the bark within range of he

Everything on shore exhibited the greatest excitement. Companies were seen marching along the beach, pieces of artillery drawn by horses, and mounted men galloping hither and thither, made quite an exciting scene, and crowds of people lined the beach, anxiously awaiting the result of an attack. The boats of the Jamestown were now called away, armed and manned, and consisted of the launch, officered by Second Lieut. Flusser, (who had command of the expedition,) and accompanied by Assistant Surgeon Cleborne, and Lieut. Hewston, in command of the marines; first cutter, under command of Lieut. Phythian, accompanied by Acting Master Chisholm; and third cutter, in charge of Midshipman H. B. Tyson. As soon as the enemy saw the boats Iroisted out they were seen to arm a boat with a small piece of cannon and a party of men, evidently with the intention of boarding the bark and defending her against any attack. At the same time the shore batteries opened, it was at first thought, with the i

d upon them, fortunately without doing any injury; under this fire they reached the vessel's side, the balls falling pretty thickly over their heads and around them; and in a few moments the crew, headed by their gallant commander and followed by the rest of the officers, reached her deck without any opposition.--She proved to be the bark Alvarado, of Boston, from the Cape of Good Hope, and had been captured only a short time before by the privateer Jeff. Davis, and was now on her way to Savannah, Ga., with a prize crew on board, and had as prisoners the captain and his wife. All the ship's papers and instruments were secured, and then finding it impossible to get her off, it was decided to set her on fire, which was efficiently done in three places, and as her cargo consisted of Manilla rope, hemp and wool, she soon became enveloped in flames. About this time a gun was fired from the Jamestown, and the signal of recall hoisted. Before leaving the burning vessel the Stars and S

ion to listeners so enchanted that, like Adam, whose ears were filled with the eloquence of an arch-angel, they forget "place, all seasons and their change." Washington Irving, in the account he has given of his visit to Abbottsford, says of Sir Walter Scott, that his conversation was frank, hearty, picturesque and dramatic. He never talked for effect or display, but from the flow of spirits, the stores of his memory, and the vigor of his imagination. He was as good a listener as talker; apprethat others said, however humble might be their rank and pretensions, and was quick to testify his perception of any point in their discourse.--No one's concerns, no one's thoughts and opinions, no one's tastes and pleasures seemed beneath him. He made himself so thoroughly the companion of those with whom he happened to be, that they forgot, for a time, his superiority, and only recollected and wondered when all was over that it was Scott in whose society they had felt so perfectly at ease.

the wisdom of "Hudibras" that he caused himself to be introduced in the character of a private gentleman to Butler, author. The witty king found that author a very dull companion, and was of opinion, with many others, that so stupid a fellow could never have written so clever a book. Addison, whose classic elegance of style has long been considered the best model for young writers, was shy and absent in society, preserving, even before a single stranger, a stiff and dignified silence. Goldsmith appeared, in company, to have no spark of that genius which alone shone forth so brightly in his works. His address was awkward, his manner uncouth, his language unpolished; he hesitated when speaking, and was always unhappy if the conversation did not turn upon himself. Nearer to our own time, we have many authors whose faculty told twice. Sheridan and Theodore Hook were men of infinite jest; they "could set a table in a roar;" and fill pages with pathos and wit of such a quality t
