THE BARON OF RENFREW.

The following is a copy of a lettessfrom the Agent to Lloyd's
at Deal, dated Oct. 16, on board the steam ship James Watt,
proceeding for Harwich :
" Sir,—For general information, I beg to state the follow.
ing particulars of the ship Baron Renfrew, from Quebec, un-
fortunately getting on shore on the Longsand, and of the mea.
sures adopting for her preservation. On the morning of the
13th instant, I left the Downs in the steam-ship Tourist, in
company with the James Watt, and boarded the Baron Ren-
frew, near mid channel, off Folkstone: one of the Cinque
pilots, named Underdoun, being on board from the pilot cut-
ter, and another named Brett, having come off from Dover,
offered to take charge as second pilot. Both pilots, on being
consulted as to the ship's course for the Thames, were decided-
ly of opinion the South Channel could not be attempted. but
that the course round the Knock and Longsand, and up the
Severn, was theproper course, from the great quantity of water
the ship drew ; and on being questioned us to their knowledge
and competency, they both declared they were well acquainted
therewith, being experienced in taking men of war and other
large ships up and down the Severn. They were consevently
put in charge, and we proceeded round the South Foreland.
and through the Downs, with the wind from the S.W., towed
by the two steam ships, making the Beacon buoy of the Kentish
Knock before dark, and afterwards the Galloper Light.—
At about half-past seven, p. m., we made the Sunk Light,
with a light breeze still from the S. \V., steering a N. and
by E. course. About nine, p.m. the water shoaled to nine
fathoms, the flood tide running with great violence, which it
appeared the pilots in charge did not allow for, although it
was remarked to them the ship was evidently drifting towards
the sand. The best bower was then let go, when she swung
round and grounded by the stern, every possible exertion was
then used by the steam ships, and the crew on board the ship
in carrying out other anchors, and adopting every practicable
measure to get her into deep water, but without avail. Simi-
lar exertions to get her afloat have been used since, and this
day being fine, one of her bower anchors is carrying out.to
keep her from forcing higher on the sand. Several gentle-
men connected with the ship are proceeding with me to
Harwich anti the • neighbouring ports, to procure vessels to
lighten the ship. She is now quite upwright, the Sunk Light
bearing N.W. about five miles. Should the weather continue
moderate, great hopes are entertained she may float next spring
tides. The City of Edinburgh steam ship remains to afford
assistance, and to take advantage of any favourable circum-
stance which may arise. The wind is westerly at present, and
the weather fine.

TRADE WITH MA DElRA.—EKtract of a letter
from Madeira, dated the 29th of September :—.44 Lately several
British vessels arriving here, from Liverpool in particular, have
invariably been put under quarantine, owing to their bills of
health not being certified and endorsed by the Portuguese Con-
sul. Without the said documents (regularly signed, &c.) the
vessels are not allowed to have any communication, until re..
visited a second time by the health officers and doctors, &c.,
which not only causes great delay, but subjects the owners to
an extra expence of about 51. sterling.
MILDNESS OF Till SEASON.—A number of ap-
ple-trees in different parts of Poole are now
covered with a profusion of blossom ; many of'
them have also a quantity of young fruit. on
them. In a garden belonging to Mr. T. Strong,
at Seldown, there is a tree bearing two crops
of apples at the same time. An apple-tree in
an orchard at Cannington, near Bridgewater,
was last week in full blossom. Two apple-trees
at Walton now .present the singular appearance
of fruit in its three stages; blossoms are abun-
dant, in many instances the fruit is set, and a
quantity is quite ripe. It is expected that much
more cider than was anticipated will he made in
Devonshire this year ; the apples improved con-
siderably towards the latter part of -'the season,
and are generally full of juice and finely-flavour-
ed. At this time there is in the garden of a gen-
tleman residing near Ilford, an apple-tree with a
great number of blossoms, and a bed of stra4-
berries in full bloom. The latter is also tht,
case in the garden of Mr. Alderman ATAINB,—...

.EAtracts from the illonting Pap.crs„ Oct. 18, 1825.

tTilt TIMES:]

ht appear' to be expected by some persons,
that-the manufacturers of this country will suffer
trincy:froni the new system introduced by Mr.
Nuskisson, of admitting:foreign goods before pro-
hibited,- or at least diminishing the obstacles to
their consumption here, by lowering the importa-
tion diities. This fear has been expressed by
people with the means: of intelligence at their
command, and it has'been intimated by them, as
we are informed, thafMiniiters having begun to
share in the. apprehension ,of a mischievous fo-
reign rivalry with our manufactures from the re-1
taxation of the old prohibitory system, are about
to' stop short in the course which they have
themselves so recently recommended, and to
check the further progress of commercial free-1
. The cause assigned for this counter-revo-J
lution in our mercantile policy is, that other
European powers—as France for example—in-
stead of imitating the new system of Great Bri-
lain, by lowering her import duties,has continued,
or in some cases increased them, thus repelling
our, advances, and excluding us from her mar-
ket; while she is received into ours. Such is
the statement made to us. But this conduct on
th'e part of France cannot, we conceive, he up-
held in argument, as a ground for acting upon it,
in the- direction, and to the extent, required by
our.correspondents. It is, on the contrary,- our
earnest hope, that Ministers, having already con-
sidered the wisdom of the new policy, before
they adopted it, will again reflect maturely and
prOfoundly, before they abandon it and resume
the old.—The first question that must occur to
every body is, whether Mr. Huskisson must not
haVe- been prepared at the outlet, for the very
circumstance abOve alluded,to—namely, the per-
seierance of other Governments, at least for a
season, in the prohibitory system which he has
pronounced to be incompatible with the future
welfare of this manufacturing community ? The
argument employed by the 'Right Honourable
Gentleman was decisive upon that point. " The
" advantages of the change," says he, " will
" be such to Great Britain, that other coun-
" tries will at last find their interest in fol-
" lowing her example." This argument sup-
poses an intermediate state of things, during
which other countries would continue to en-
force the system which we had abolished. It
supposes further, that England would thrive
more vigorously in consequence of her increased
liberality, and in spite of her neighbours' conti-
nued or increased prohibitions, since it is on the
evidence of our success thus promoted, and sub-
sequently to the experience of it, that Mr. Ilus-
kisson assumes the probability of their following
the same course. If, then, Ministers were not
unprepared for the repugnance exhibited by
neighbouring states to the reception of an im-
proved code of principles from this Government
in what concerns the-affairs of commerce, why,
we ask, should the same Ministers be terrified
by the fulfilment of their own predictions into a
sacrifice of the policy which they recommended
at the moment when those predictions were ut-
tered ? We are far from saying that there can
he no circumstances under which it would be
wise (9 abandon an experiment which it had been
very wise to institute. Ministers, moreover, on
thWoccasion, foreseeing a single fact, were not
to be understood as pledging themselves to esti-
mete beforehand all its possible consequences, or
obstinately and desperately to abide them. But
has.any thing yet occurred, or is any result yet
threatened, which would justify the British Go-
vernment in swerving from the road on which it
has. so lately and so confidently entered, much
more to retrace it ? No such indicatieas, we
confess, have yet been brought under our notice.
It .is fair to acknowledge that the particular
clueitiOti on .uliich the alarms of our friends have
been conveyed to us, is that of. the silk
trade, as modified in all its bearings by the
recent reduction of duties. We do not yet
share. in those alarms. The reductions of
duty were of two kinds. The heavy and most
preposterous tax on the import of the raw mate-
rial was lowered so as to bring the article home
to the manufacturer at a far more moderate price.
This,. at least, no Englishman could object to;
arid on Mr. Huskisson's authority, the effect upon
the 'French manufacturers was to excite in them
an extreme apprehension frOm the rivalry of the
British silk manufacture in foreign market's all
oVe4l..!ht world : there is no reason, so far as we
haie•.heirrd, for bellying that their fears have at
all subsided. But there was a second change in-
troduced by Mr. Huskisson, viz.—the substitu-
tion of a duty of 30 per cent. on the 'import of
French silks into England, in place of the old
probillitory law, by which the silks of France
were confiscated on importation here. Against
the possibility of a consumption of French silk
manufactures in England, arising out of this re.
pear of the prohibition, a loud cry has been
raised that the British silks are to be ruined.—
We:torbear to speak harShly orsuch complaints,
which are natural to all descriptions of manufac-
turefS, and proportionably common among them
-7staiiich a degree, thatif they were to legislate
for the country ,there would not bea square yard
or no aVoirdupoiS pound, or a gallon measure, of
any'-foreign manufactured article adMitted into
tlie:gnited.Kingdoni,' from any quarter of the
glo'b'e. But to return to the silk trade :—lt is
known, that since the redUction of our import'
duties on raw slits. the'. rrench Manufacturers
contiritie to he,T frightened at the competi-
tion ' of Brisiab f* silks in • 'foreign markets—
in those kir example, of 'America, and some
parts • Off,Europe, where' the silks of France
and..pedant! are received on equartefrms as' to
duty. ".,'Can there, then, be common sense in sup-
posing, that if England has even the slightest
chance of
,selling her silks- abroad; where they
are liable to the same duties with those of French
izsannfiscfnre, the some silks will not' be able to
maintain themselies in the'British market, where
they' are protected by a duly"of 'SO per cent.,
and free frOrn the' charges of coovexance ? We

might rest the question on that single argument,
as to the probability of danger to our silk manu-
factures from the competition of France in the
home market. But it is due to the subject to
take it up shortly in another point of view. Even
if the English silk trade were to suffer—that is to
say, that if with a protecting duty of 30 percent.
Englishmen could not supply the demand of
their countrymen on such terms as to secure a
preference for silks so protected, such a manufac-
ture ought to be abandoned to its fate, as impos-
ing an unjust tax upon the whole community, and
as exhibiting an unanswerable proof that British
industry ought to be turned into sorise more ap-
propriate and productive channel. There would
be no end to the folly and iniquity of our
commercial code, if the Legislature were to
pursue this scheme of bolstering up unsuccess-
ful manufactures, and cutting. off the comforts
of the people generally, for the sake of the
capitalists dealing in a given branch of trade.
—lt would be another version of the obsolete
system of bounties, which has long been exploded
by all sound statesmen, but which some wiseacre,
it seems, is now importuning the French Govern-
ment to revive in favour of its own silk trade—so
persuaded are the French that their silk manu-
facture will hardly sustain itself against the com-
petition of the English under the new scale of
duties, while the English themselves profess to
fear a similar danger from the same duties to their
manufacture. If Ministers now retrace their
steps upon any such representations, they will
pass sentence on their own knowledge, as well as
on their firmness and consistency. If they once
renew the old .race of monopolies, this country
will be the first to suffer. Being the most ad-
♦anced in the greatest variety of manufactures,
England would always be more secure of her own
home-market for the great bulk of manufactured
goods than any other state in the world. If
her neighbours will be dealers in monopoly,
her being so too will not cure the evil, but
will superadd to it, against herself,, a well-
combined system of smuggling from every
port of Europe. Instead of again curtailing
the bounds of that commercial freedom
which they have begun to extend on every
side, let Ministers complete their work by
that single and crowning measure which would
at once vindicate their own sincerity, and stop
the mouths of all murmurers at the difficulties
under which our manufacturers labour, by abo-
lishing the monopoly in the supply of bread.—
That vicious and fatal monopoly it is, which
lends a sting to every complaint from our manu-
facturers, and plausibility to their prophecies of
ruin. When they talk of the dear bread and
high wages of this country giving an unfair start
to foreigners against her, they have reason on
their side, so long as that vile solecism in legis-
lation, the Corn Law of England, is supported :
the manufacturers therefore ought to change their
note—they but palliate the Corn Law while they
solicit congenial monopolies in their own behalf.
"No Corn Law" should be their cry, and then
" No Favour."

[BRITISH PR ESS.I
It has been said that the character of the Ro-
man Catholic Church has been modified and me-
liorated with the progress of knowledge and by
the influence of public opinion. We would ad-
vise those who are, by this representation of the
improved condition of the Roman Catholic
Church, disposed to regard it with more compla-
cency, to read and con,,ider attentively the bull of
excommunication fulminated last month by the
Pope against Dr. Vet, who has lately been elected
Bishop of Deventer, in the Netherlands. Because
this clergyman has conceded some point in the
dispute now pending betiveen his Government and
the Court of Rome, he is denounced in round terms
as the chief of the schismatics of Utrecht. 66 We
•therefore," says this memorable document, " ex-
communicate and anathematise the said William
Vet, and all those who have taken any part in his
culpable election, and also those who have assist-
ed by their power, care, consent or advice, either
in his election or enthronement." The bull then
proceeds to interdict the excommunicated Bishop
from performing any of the functions of his
episcopal office. In perusing this instrument, we
are reminded of ages which we thought had
passed away for ever. But what gentle and'per-
suasive means his Holiness endeavours to bring
back the stray sheep to his fold ! An anathema is
issued not only against the schismatic prelate, but
all those who have favoured or even permitted
his election. This denunciation includes the
King of the Netherlands, without whose express
consent neither the election nor the enthrone-
ment could have taken place. We see, there-
fore, beyond all doubt, that the 'pretensions of
the Papal Court are unchanged and unchange-
able. The bull of excommunication fulminated
against Dr. Vet, is the assertion of an authority
precisely similar in principle to that exercised by
the Popes of other days in absolving subjects
from their oaths of and deposing Kings.

[MORNING HERALD.]
There is scarcely a day which does not afford
proof how much the degree of public interest
attached to events and circumstances depends
upon their novelty. Of this a striking instance
may be observed in the voyages of discovery to the
North Pole. The first Polar expedition, under
the command of Capt. Ross, was, for its hour,
the common talk, to the exclusion of every other
topic. It was a matter of national interest and
gbsry. This expedition failed, and the failure
was regarded as a great national disappointment.
The next expedition acquired, from peculiar cir-
cumstances, an interest which nearly compensated
its want of novelty. That too failed ; and the
public attention visibly flagged. A third expedi-
tion was fitted out, to which public attention was,
in comparison with the former, but feebly drawn.
It is now some months since a portion of this
squadron (if it may he so called) of discovery,
returned
home, having failed of its object from
unavoidable causes. The disappointment was
but slightly felt—if at all—and hardly talked
of. • It is true there was still the main force
under its popular and, interesting Chief, Captain
Parry.
Well; Captain Parry has just returned
—he too, having failed, with the loss of his ship,

but happily not with any loss of his gallant crew,
and the news will probably be forgotten in two
days! Here a question arises—Are these polar
expeditions hopeless—or supposing them not
hopeless, but reasonable and practicable, are
they worth the risk of gallant lives for the
sake of the passage which it is supposed may
be found ? With regard to the first ques-
tion, there is no one point upon which the
general mass are less competent to pronounce
—viz. the chance of success. Two persons
of undoubted authority have written anonymously
on the subject, opposed to each other, not only in
their opinions, but in their circumstances and cha-
racters—the one a professor, reasoning only upon
abstract study and science—the other an ex-
perienced traveller, of great research, and with
all the information which the Admiralty could
afford at his command. The former, who might
be expected to overlook difficulties under the
unobstructed guidance of philosophical theory
in his cabinet, despaired of success : the other,
who might be expected to discover and even
over-rate obstacles, not only thought success
practicable, but well worth the pursuit. Well, 3
expeditions have been sent out—the three experi-
ments have failed—and the conclusions of the
philosopher are borne out against those of the
man of office and personal experience. With re-
spect to the second question—the value of the
undertaking weighed against its hazards—there
can be, on reflection, but one opinion. Suppos-
ing the discovery of the north-west passage at-
tainable—even though the advantage in a trad-
ing view were null, or nearly so, yet the discovery
would be of great importance, as an accession to
natural history and geography—to civilization
and knowledge. It is probable another expedi-
tion will be sent out, inasmuch as (according to
the accounts published) the last expedition
leaves the question precisely, or nearly, where
it stood before.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the 16th inst. and the Etoils
of Sunday, reached us last night by Express.--
Their contents are of little importance. Accord-
ing to letters from Smyrna, of the sth September,
the American squadron had sailed from that
place : its destination was supposed to be Na-
poli di Romania, and it was imagined that the
Commodore was authorised to enter into negocia-
tions with the Greek Government respecting the
cession of some islands in the Archipelago, as the
price of immediate co-operation in the contest
against the Porte. There is no doubt that if this
proposal had been made before the Protectorate
of Greece had been offered to this country, it
would have been instantly and gratefully accepted.
--As it is, the Government of Napoli is bound to
wait our answer before it agrees to any terms,
however advantageous they may appear to be.—
Should we not avail ourselves of the preference given
us, then indeed it will be for the present Rulers
of Greece to decide which is likely to prove the
most safe and beneficial, the protection of Rus-
sia, or that of the American Union. Perhaps
both may be accepted, and in that case the Ame-
rican flag and the Muscovite eagle may ere long
be expected to meet in the ancient capital of the
Coustantines. For it would be idle to think that
the Emperor Alexander, on being called upon to
protect, organize and give Greece a King, would
any longer hesitate to march his armies across the
Pruth : and it must be recollected that the Ame-
ricans have no commercial interests or connec-
tions to prevent them from following the dictates
of their conscience and their hearts, and taking
part openly with a gallant people in its struggle
for independence.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We have received New York and other United
States Papers—the former to the 29th ult.
Through this channel we have advices from the
Havannah to the beginning of September, where
another plan of insurrection had been detected.
But will the Authorities of the Island he always
equally vigilant, or rather successful ? The dis-
affected matter is probably spread through the
greater body of the population, and both exter-
nal and internal circumstances —,rve to extend it
incessantly, and give it a more rooted cha-
racter. There are in the first place the abo-
minable vexations and sullen jealousy of the
local Government, goaded too by instructions
from Spain. In addition to this cause of discon-
tent, the trade of the island has been for some
time rapidly declining, partly by means of absurd
regulations, and partly through the seizures made
by Colombian and other South American cruizers.
On the other hand, the victims of Spanish mis-
rule have before them the glorious lot of the
Continental States, and that they will not inces-
santly strive to throw off the badge of their pre-
sent degradation, is a supposition so ridicu-
lous, that we should be ashamed to combat it
seriously. The late armament, that sailed from
the port of Ferrol, may check this feeling for
a time; but that it will be able to suppress it
long, is wholly nut of the question. The
news from Peru in these Papers is not later than
that we were already in possession of, therefore
the speculations upon the subject of Callao re-
quire no comment,particularly as they seem to pro-
ceed from a
partisan of Spain more than from an
impartial observer of the relative situation of the
besieged and besiegers. Rodil, it is true, had
the presentiment of the halter, with which he has
been threatened, to urge him to the most despe-
rate defence ; but as the majority of his 'asso-
ciates have not time same ticklish inducement, they
will probably leave him one day in the lurch,
and deliver both him and the fortress into the
hands of the Colombian troops. As no other
matter is noticed, we may reasonably presume
that nothing had lately occurred in any part of
Peru capable of impeding the great work of her
I politica! organization.

[NEW TIMES.]
We regret to say that several parts of Ireland
are fast returning to that state of turbulence by
which they have been so often before disgraced.
Various instances of outrage were noticed in our
Paper of yesterday, and we have to-day the
painful, task of adding to the list. This subject
is touched with a master's hand and poet's fire

the splendid Ode with which oar columns are
this day honoured. Though the name of the
highly distinguished author be not subscribed to
it, the " seal and impress" of his genius are too
manifest to be mistaken. His moral dignity, and
the severe indignation with which his Muse, has,
on more than one memorable occasion, chastised
the insolence of Vice, stamp a peculiar character
on his lyrical poetry, which will be recognized
in the present verses by every reader of taste and
feeling. There is equal energy and pathos in
the expostulatory passage in the first stanza :

How Jong shall Night
Bring to thy harmless Dwellers, in the stead
Of natural rest, the feverish sleep of Fear,
Midnight alarms,
Horrible. dreams, and worse realities?
The contrast between these miseries aad the ex-
ultation felt throughout Ireland at the presence
of the King, is finely touched ; and equally well
managed is the transition from the hopes then
formed, to the means by which alone those
hopes can be realized. Authority must controul
the bad and protect the innocent. To 'the acts
of power must succeed the labours of love. The
truant sons of Ireland must return " to their
deserted hearths"—(and here the Poet at' a
stroke demolishes the whole fabric of that " bab-
bling philosophy" which proclaims the absentee
a benefactor, or at least no source of injury to
his country.)—The Ministers of our pure and re-
generate Church must wield the spear of reason
and the sword of Scripture ; resisting alike the
-misdirected zeal of the Romanist, the hatred
of the sous of schism, and the fouler purpose
of , the unbelieving crew, In conclusion, the
Poet augurs happily of the fate of Ireland, (in-
dissolubly leagued for weal or woe with Britain),
from the pledges that she has both received and
rendered. He reminds her of the venerated
names of Englishmen whose graves are in her
keeping, and gratefully confesses that to her
we owe, an Ormond, a Boyle, a Berkeley,
a Burke, and a 'Wellington l From this brief
outline, it will be seen that the Ode on Ire-
land is framed on the models of classical
antiquity, preserving a unity and simplicity of
subject, throughout the variations of sentiment
which succeed each other with equal beauty and
nature, from the opening remonstrance, to the
closing expressions of admiration and gratitude.

~ASORNINO CHRONICLE.]
'We find that some of our observations on Co-
roners are corroborated in a work on Medical
Jurisprudence, to which we have before had oc-
casion to refer :—" As the office is attended with
many unpleasant duties, gentlemen, in these
nicer times, have shrunk from its performance,
and it has consequently fallen into disrepute ; and
too frequently, into low and indigent hands.
For though in great counties, and some populous
places, it is held by very worthy and experienced
men, yet in remoter parts it is to be feared that
it is 111 exercised ; and at least, that the persons
holding it have not the learning and practice ne-
cessary for its due execution. And this in all
probability is an increasing evil ; for an office
once falling into disrepute, and only propped by
the addition of emoluments to be derived from
fees (per job), generally becomes venal ; and
there is now too much reason to fear that
decency may be outraged by the ill-timed
activity of some, as much as justice is
defeated by the corruption and supineness of
others, who have of late been chosen to this once
ancient and once honourable office. It is, there•
fore, to be wished that some legislative measure
may correct or prevent this evil, by restricting
the elections to persons duly qualified ; and by
appointing medical assessors or inspectors, who
might usefully assist the Coroner in the discharge
of his ditties in cases of inquisition of death." The
following' passage confirms (if any confirmation he
necessary) the arguments for the publicity of In-
quests, as it is difficult to imagine a close Court sitt-
ing in an open field :—" It was evidently the ori-
ginal intention of the Legislature that the Coroner
should view the body on the spot where it was
found ; that he and his Jary might judge as well
by the inspection of the body, as by an examina-
tion of the surrounding objects, whether the de-
ceased had died by violence. And Sir Wm. Black-
stone says, ' Ile must also sit at the very place where
the death happened.'-1 Com. 348. And this
should certainly be done in all possible cases, for
the state of surrounding objects most frequently
will testify more strongly than any other evi-
dence. Modern fastidiousness has introduced the
custom of removing the body to some public-
house, even when the death has happened in an
ordinary dwelling. This, if not illegal, is at
least improper."—Medical Jurisprudence, by
Paris and Fonblanque.—Vol. 2, Cap. Coroner.

DUMBNESS CURED BY STEAM.-Betwpen two
and three months ago a young girl, who belongs to a respect-
able family in Edinburgh, lost her voice and. became com-
pletely dumb in consequence of an inflammation of the lungs.
The most eminent of the Faculty there declared they could do
nothing for her. Her friends resolved that she should take the
advice of Sir Astley Cooper ; and about a month ago she em-
barked on board the Edinburgh Castle steam-packet for that
purpose. The machinery of the engine became deranged on
her way, and an alarm was spread amongst some of the female
passengers that the boiler was about to bunt. The fright of
the poor girl was so great as to have a powerful effect upon
her disorder. She cried aloud, and suddenly recovered the use
of her tongue, which she exercised sufficiently, until her return
home, no doubt under the apprehension that if she did not,
there might be danger of a relapse.

VEGETABLE CURIOSITY.---There is now in the
possession of Mr. EVANS, auctioneer and broker,
of Hereford, a specimen of Nature's vagaries,
which rivals the most extraordinary of those re-
corded in Captain IVlasiby's Greenland Voyage.
It grub upon the top of a fire tree, lately felled
in a wood belonging to Lady Rodney, and pre-
sents a most wonderful (accidental) profile re-
semblance of a pheasant. The head was unfor-
tunately cut through before the character of the
crescence (for such wit consider it to be, though
formed of wood and bark) WBS discovered ; but
the parts are accurately united. The neck and
form of the body are beautifully defined ; and the
disposition of the rugce in the bark indicate the
natural arrangement of the. plumage. Two pen-
dent and flezible substances are very exactly
placed for the legs, and two others give a most
imposing image of the tail. It is about half the
size of the bird which it so unaccountably re-
sembles, and is, probably, wholly 'Unique.
