NELSON'S CROWNING VICTORY Rail in the Alexander, passed under the stern of the Orient, and anchoring inside on her larboard quarter, raked her, and tormented her sails with musketry. Our last shin to arrive in the melee was the Leander, which had been detained by the disaster of the Culloden. She tried to anchor athwart hawse of the Orient; but the Franklin being so near her ahead that there was no room to pass, she took her station athwart hawse of the Franklin, so as to rake both the French ships. Victory was aJready certain. The third, fourth, and fifth French vessels were captured about half-past eight. Meantime, the crew of the Vanguard had been almost wild with despair at a severe wound Nelson had received, lie bad been struck on Lite forehead by a piece of langridge shot, and the hlow was at first supposed to be mortal. Our hero, however, refused to be taken down to the cock-pit to be ten ted before his wounded men, and, soon after the wound was dressed, wrote a few words of a despatch with his own hand.

From Harper's Weekly. THE PLEDGE AT SPUNKY POINT In 1798 Nelson set sail for Egypt in search of the French fleet, which had slipped out of Toulon and eluded our blockading squadron. On the first of August he came in sight of the low sandy shore of Egypt, crowded with windmills, and saw to his great, joy, the tricolor flag flying on the forts of Alexandria. Q S.

The French fleet had been detained there by Napoleon's special command, but unable to enter the neglected and almost ruined port, Admiral Brueys had moored his ships In the bay of Aboukir in a close and compact line of battle ; the headmost vessel to the northwest, lying close to a shoal, and the rest of the ships forming a curve, along the edge of the deep water, so that they could not be turned to the southwest. The fleet consisted of thirteen ships of the line and four frigates, carrying one thousand oue hundred and ninety-six guns, and eleven thousand two hundred and thirty men. The British had also thirteen ships of the line, and one fifty-gun ship, carrying altogether one thousand and twelve guns, and eight thousand and sixty-eight men : but then the British ships, it must be remembered, were all seventy-fours, while the French had three eighty gun ships and one thre3 dockcr of a hundred and twenty Office, corner of Exeter and Warren Streets.

It was while Nelson was writing these few words that the greatest and most awful catastrophe of the battle occurred. About nine p. m. Are broke out in the Orient. The unfortunate ship had been newly painted, and many oil jars were lying on the poop. Theadniiral, almost cut In two was lying on deck. The spreading crimson of that conflagration lit both fleets as if hell's doors had suddenly opened. About ten p. m. the Orient blow up a shock that made every vessel tremble. Many of the officers and men jumped overboard, and clung to floating Hpars and wreck. Bome were saved by our boats or dragged in at the lower ports by their ever generous enemies. The majority, however, bravely stuck to their (.hip, and fined away till she went down. An entire and awful silence followed the explosion, a silence so deep that it wa» only broken by the sound of tne falling masts. About seventy of the crew were saved by our seamen. "Among the hundreds who perished," says Bouthey, "were the commodore, Casa Bianea, and his son, a brave boy only tea years old." They were last seen floating on a shattered mast, and they perished in the whirl-pool of the sinking ship. Bhe had on Doard six hundred thousand pounds, the plunder of Malta. The burning wreck seriously endangered the Swiftsure, and a portfire fell into the maintop-royal of the Alexander. Physicians and Dentists C. M. WIliLIAMH, Moat Markets Weat Pittston, Her T AMPS !

As our squadron moved into action, ,he batteries poured on them shot and shell, while the French lleet opened within half gun-shot distance, and opened a steady fire from the starboard side of their whole line. It was a terrible gauntlet to run. but our men being employed in furling sails above and tending braces below, to make ready quick for anchoring, bore it carelessly and in perfect silence. About half past six, p. m. Foley led the way in, the Goliath struggling for the pest of honor with the Zealous. He had planned to lead between the French and the shore, thinking that th« French guns on the land side would most probably be neither manned or loaded. In trying, on the very edge of a shoal water to fix himself on,the inner bow of the Guerrier, his anchor fortunately hung, and before all was clear the Goliath had drifted to the second French ship, the Conquerant. Captain Foley therefore anchored by the Conquerant's stern and inside of her, and a'ter ten minutes' busy work, shot away one of her masts. Hood in the Zealous, seeing that Foley had got his work comfortably in hand, took his berth beside the Guerrier, and in twelve minutes knocked her dumb. PITTSTON, All work warranted JJR. E. B.

The furnace, was now, indeed, heated seven times hotter then it was wont to be heated ; in a few minutes every man at the flrat six guus of Nelson's ship was either killed or wounded, and three times were the same guns cleared by the French lire.

They soon, however, hurried up, the fiery Trowbridge first, in the Cuiloden, eager for action ; but in the dark in spite of careful sounding, she got aground, nor could the Leodara and the Minotaur brig in any way succeed in extricating her. Bhe, however served as a beacon to save the Alexauder and the Bwiftsure from a shoal, where they would Inevitably have been lost. Captain Hallowell in the Bwiftsure bearing, down with the regulation four horizontal lights at the mizzen-peatc, suddenly came on a ship with no lights showing and sails loose.

The Bwiftsure at once took her place in the dance, and opened a steady lire on the quarter of the Franklin, and the bows of the Orient, the French Admiral's flag ship.

Until the damage sustained by the brain and the physical system generally is repaired, he does not expect the conscience and the will to obtain full control over the actions of the patient.Scranton »• *.
