PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 23.

Every day we must add something fresh—some new variety of a hundred times repeated story—to the catalogue of marine barbarities

We have thought of pasting them in a row, in order to see, at the end of the year, their length, (which we imagine might festoon the whole semi-circumference of the Legislative Hall;) but the idea discouraged us from the undertaking. The extract which we now make, respecting the fate of Mrs. Aliston reminds us of another transaction connected with the New Orleans' pirates, which was lately communicated to us by a resident of New Orleans, who had every opportunity of knowing the particular facts; and which we do not remember to have seen in print. In 1812, a packet sailed from New Orleans, bound, we think, to France, in which a number of ladies and fewer gentlemen embarked. Among the former was a French lady whose known wealth was perhaps the cause of a disaster, which in all its details is still left to be imagined, though there is little doubt of its nature. Some months passed away and no intelligence was received from the vessel or its ill-fated passengers; but as a married daughter of the lady whom we have just mentioned, was one morning walking the streets of New Orleans, she saw (and fainted at the sight) her mother's jewels on the neck of a woman whom common fame reported to be the mistress of Lafitte This man stoutly denied that he had any hand in the deed by which they fell into his hands, but alleged that he won them by gambling with the pirates, whose seat was then at the Island of Barrataria Vessel or passengers were never seen or heard of; and if their bodies were suffered to have a grave in the Ocean unpolluted by those ruffians, it is not doubted in New Orleans that they were each and every one murdered. Whether the fifteen recently reprieved, or any of them, were stained with this piracy we know not; but we presume the facts can be ascertained; and if mercy be allowed to them, it will be so much the greater, but if punishment be demanded, it will be the better deserved—Union
