BELIZE, SEPT. B.—The Othello has met With a
misfortune, having been struck by lightning on ThursdeY:
the 24th of August, at about 11 P.M. The main royl
pole was shattered, and the splinters fell on the deck.

starboard-side, which carried away the remainiPg part of

The prices asked for cheese at the late fairs have
been so high, that few purchasers could be found ; owiag

ACOUSTICS.-Many opinions of the probability otf
conveying intelligible sounds to great distances have beeo,,,
different times entertained. Mr. Dick of Glasgow, la Phil
Christian Philosopher, thinks it highly probable, that P!.
means of acoustic tunnels a clergyman sating in his ovir
room in Edinburgh might address a congregation in Muss':
burgh, or beikeith, or even in Glasgow. And Mr. Curt,P;
speaking of his acoustic chair, a model of which is 'a
Adelaide-street Gallery, states that intelligence may be COII,I
veyed by it from St. James's to the Houses of Lords 'll.lO
Commons, and from London to the Castle at Windsor. ve
the same principle, a song sung at the Italian Opern-btifse.
might be heard at all the other theatres in London.--.1'

who begin to be ashamed of their spouting ally. frh t 6,,
Aberdeen Observer, a Tory paper, thus speaks of this ran
ing hypocrite and his disgraceful proceedings :—" We der
such meetings, as those which have been got up un",-6
Mr. Crotty's auspices, as worse than useless. It cannnt,,
expected that Roman Catholics will be converted fronl
errors of Popery, by casting ridicule and contumely °t;
doctrines and observances which they have been taught,

posed, without bringing them into collision with ,_
