LOSS OP A CLYDE SHIP AND ALL HER CREW.—Yee-
toads, (Thursday) afternoon, we received intellisenes of •
vessel belonging to the Clyde having gone to pieces on the
west end of the islaed of C.II. We have been seeable to learn
her name. Ezell on Monday morning last, the vessel, a
bargee, was observed by several persons on shore driving
under • heavy gale towards land. The greatest fears were
entertained for her safety, as it appeared that the ship
was perfectly unswayable in the heave tee running at
'he time. She ultimately struck on a small island or reek
which lies off the farm of Crosip ,11, occupied by Mr
Wiesen. This rock or Island is nearly an acre in eaten',
and is situated about slaty y rds off the meinland, • strong
current ruocing through it.. narrow channel between
them. It appear that the unfortunate barque bad got
onto this current, as she Wrack on th end of the rock at
right &maks with the coast. Tee moment she struck, her
masts ail went overboard with the shock, and the vessel
almost icstawly went down. Eight seamen were ohs. reed
to lower, and gat Into • boat, but they were instantly
swamped, and not a soul of those on board were
saved. The vessel soca went to pieces, and a lore qu attity
of her cargo and wreck has been washed ashore.. Her
papers, we are informed, have also come satr:rc ; but OUT
inionnutt could not furnish us with the name of the vessel
or that of the firm who owned her. We undesrtand that

away, "nu taken charge of whatever has come ashore. The
ship appears to have had on board a large wtantity of mien
featured good*, as several halos of checked, striped, end plain
calicoes base come to land. Last nii.ht no ootice of the
disaster bad reached the underwriters' room here. It is
believed she was outward-bound.—G favors North British

TESSA-Corn TABLETS FOR TOMBSTONES.—In
taming over the loaves of a new work on pottery and por
°dein, we are incidentally led into the &Baum the% the an
dents almost anticipated that ten. cAta—• sort of pottery,
in fact—would be an excellent, beaus a cheap and dura-
ble, material for funereal moaaments and tone:stases, for the
poorer classes, if insciibed with the names and genealogical
correlations of the dead before exposure to the pottery Sm.
Aced we most here further strengthea the argument ageiost
the virgin n rvelty of cur own suggestion by a brief allusion
to a recent discovery of and -.nt customs, still more to the
point than any, it may be, to be gathered from known re-
cords. even when the volume alluded to was • ritten. In
the Ethnological sub-section of the BMW' Association, lately,
Majir Raerliaon stated that Mr. Layard had, at Karnali'.
penetrated into a camber which appeared to be of the same
clam as the " house of records," noticed by the prophet
Ears, where was found the copy of a decree of Cyrus, per-
mitting the Jews to return from eaptivity. In this clamber
Mr. le-yard and, is terracotta, tables piled up from the
floor to the ailing, sad representing apparently the archives
of the Assyrian empire during the long historical succession.
Mr. Liyard had packed, by the last accounts, five casts for
transpat to Engdsad ; ard these only occupied ono /WM
goner of the apartment. Mere, then, we find that terra-
: Gotta tablets inscribed with everlasting records, like Job'.
writing with a pea of iron in the rock, to tar from bring a
novelty, are scold as any of the oldest records of human in-
genuity.—TM Ilmiider.
PHENOMENA Or 711 E OCEAN.— Daring the voyage
of the bargee Harvest, Captain Lackey, of New Bedford,
' ?neatly returned frogs a whaling voyage, the fact was wet,
fled that Vie tides ahout the Polynesian Mande do not follow
the Newtonian law of variation. At the tensest of Captala
Lackey, of l !suite were obtained from two intelligent indi-
viduals, who have for twenty years resided asoag the
Society Islands, to the following statessent:—" That the
time of high water takes place between the hours of eleven
and one o'clock, witnout any variation, unless caused by
winds. The different phases of the moos have no eiGet
whatever is changing the time of high.weter. At the tull
and change the tides are from six to eight isehee higher;
the fall rise being about two feet." Another iaterevting re.
salt of the voyage was the obtaining of deep-ses soundings
in the vicinity of the Bermuda Islands. We quote from the
narrative. us published In the New liedford Mercury :
Here, is Let. 27 10 N. Mag. G 2 45 W. on the 20,h of
April, 1830, the surest fend being Bermudas, bearing N. W.
by N., and distaat 345 miles, water blue with much golf-
weed, weather calm, no earreat, the boat was lowered ; let
run am, lead, sad found bottom in 744 fathoms. April 16,
let. 27 31 N., beg. 60 3 W., Bermuda hearing N.W. by N.
300 infirm, goaded sad got b moon Is 466 fathoms. April
20, let. 29 20 N., lung. 64 11 W., Bermudas N.W. by N.,
160 miles, sounded and got bottom in 620 fathom. The
time cc:spied in ramie' out the Has varied from 20 to 30
Wash a. The line was constructed thus: First 100 fathoms
five parts of shoe-thread; woad, fear parts; third, three
parte; fourth, two parts; remainder single. The lead
weighed about 51hei ; the whole wound upon a light reel, and
held by bead. In this process of obtaining soundings th^
lead is Mt to be hauled up."
