that the questions put to him by his Lordship were evidently

which had been shipped in his Modesty's ship Andromache,
Captain. Sheriti; and Bluisont, Captain Hickey, rind whether
the same was the actual priiperty of the :vanish flosern-
me iit, or any of its anthorities, these two shipa being then on
the coast with it on hoard. The impression remaining on
the mind of the Captain of the Ontario was, that could Ins
Lordship will ascertain thia latter point, It was his intention to
intercept these ships, and seize the pniperty. So soon as
thin report was made to Commodore Bowles, he proceeded
roucil Cape Horn in the Creole."

On Friday last the Ninme, Lumly
bound from Castlenutin to Liverpool, and freighted
with corm left the hut Lour of Jungle to proceed on
her voyage. The day was unusually fine, however,
shelutd not get any coneLleratle dstance outside the
harbour, when in the view eta considerable num-
ber of spectators, she was seen to go down suddenly
head fit:mite:a, wiLlout even alloWing time for hoist-
ing out the beat. The melancholy consequence was,
that the entire crew, consisting of eleven bands,
met a watery and awful instantattectis grate, us there
was Ito possibility of assistance than the shore.—
What renders this circumstance yet mote tragical is,
that five or six oC the sufferers had but very lately
deserted their sliip•in a sinking state outside Dingle.
The vessel was freighted by Christopher Galwey,
Esl. of Killarney. It appears remarkably providen-
tial that the mate of the Harmony lately wrecked
at Rosbegn, anti who was the only sun ivue of the
crew on that occasitre had actually paid a part
aids passage money to this ship, bit was induced
at the instance of Collector Twiss to forego the
money and proceed by a ditil:rent route.
111 r. Henderson has discovered, in New Siberia,
the claws of a bird measuring each a yard in lem.,etb ;
and the Yakttts assured him, they had frequently, in
their hunting excursions, met with skeletons, red
even feathers, of this bird, the qai Is of which were
large enough to admit a man's arm. This is a fah
in support of the tradition, that the earth was for•
merly inhabited by giants; fur men not exceeding
ourselves in staturewould have been helpless against
birds of prey of this magnitude. Captain Cool, men-
dons having seen a monstrous bird's nest in New
Holland, on a low Farley island in Endeavour River,
With trees upon it, and an incredible number of sea
fowl ; he found an eagle's nest with young ones,
which he killed, and the nest of some other bird, of
a most enormous size ; it was built with large sticks
upon the ground, and was no less than eis and
twenty feet in circumference, and two feet eight
inches high.
A young girl has been asmssinated in Paris umler
circumstances of great atrocity' After the murder
was committed, and the plunder secured, the ref-
flans set fire to the bad, in the hope of thins destroy-
lag all macs of their crime. Happily the flan:ts
were soon extingeished, and there is every reason to
hope the wretches trill be brought to justice.
A servant girl in a 'Eddie-home ia Silver-street, Cam-
bridge, having disputed with her mistress. on Friday
evening, left the house, and was the next unreeling found
in the river. An inquest WAS held WI the body and a
verdict of Lunacy returned.
The New Providence Gazelle Says,—‘f It !nun
afford much satisfaction to the inhabithnts of the
Colony to learn, that it is again in agitaticut, and
that strenuous endeavours are now used, us well by
the merchants interested in its commerce, P.S by
those concerned in that of Jamaica, to have this
island made a depot for a trade with the United
States. We .have seen a cup;' .of a Memorial that has
been presented to the Lords of the Privy Council,
fox the consideration of :natters of trade in the Plan-
tations, on the above subject, in which the conveni-
ences and benefits to Jamaica il'orn such a measure,
are particularly stated. Private letters encourage
the hope, that the object will be attained; but it
may be feared, that unless it be so in a permanent
way, no advantage will be derived from it, the Go-
vernment of the United Snit(' being apparently de-
termined to accord with no temporary measures, as
has been evinced With respect to the free ports of
Nova Scotia. The Jamaica interest having made
itself a party in the appliteation,we may now iuduige
the hope of its meeting serious attention and final
success."

The end of next month it the time mentioned
when the Members of the Yacht Club are to as.
setnble titr the purpmie of cruising. They will then
be enabled to hy in a supply of title and r:/:50,7,
