REMARKABLE CAsE.---While the steamer Briton
was lying at Stranraer quay on Tuesday, the men engaged
in cleaning out the hold, when at the farthest extremity of
the ship, underneath the bows, to their astonishment found
three flue lambs, doubtless part of a former cargo, huddled
together behind some boards. One of the lambs was in a
very weak
n condition, but the other two when brought out
showed more lively symptoms. They had been on board
the Briton for the space of seventeen days without any food
whatever.
