The following oil-kill:. account has been taken final a Bom-

occasion, when it became estingnished, and never could have

quenched his thirst in seasons of long draughts, and the skulls
of hia departed companions were his only drinking vessels.—
The diseovery made of him from the Queen Charlotte was
portly accidental ; the ruck was known to be desolate and

on an evening, tracted notice, and produced en inquiry
which proved fortunate to the forlorn inhabitant of the rock,
in procuring his removal to Nooalteevah, whither Mr.-Powell

town of Lyons has this year exported silks to the amount of
more than 60,000,000 of francs.
The-most interesting literary intelligence which could be
announced at the present moment, is the ensuing publication
