Dunboe, Coleraine, July 26, 1841.
Dear Sir,—l have this day received your's of the 23d
inst., conveying the. very gratifying intelligence that the
Bard of Managers of the Shipwrecked Mariners' So-
ciety had made the truly magnificent grant of 231. for
the shrviving widows and orphans of the five men who
perished lately on the shore •of this parish. I cannot
find terms to express my deep sense of gratitude to the
Board, not merely for the promptitude with which they
have replied to my statement of the truly distressing cir-
cumstances connected with the disaster, but for the truly
liberal donation they have 'been pleased to award. It
shall 'be my effort, and it is my duty, to see that it is
posed of, together with about 30/. collected in my parish,
to the_best.advantage ; and also to make known to the
unhappy sufferers, as well as to all my - parishioners and
neighbours, the bounteous gift of your Society.
Believe me to be,
Your's very faithfully and obliged,
• (Signed) - F. B. MONSELL.

prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz.

The Breslau Gazette reports the following ex-
traordinary cure, performed lately at Grcefenberr6 :—A
person, aged forty-eight, who had been in the Austrian
civil service, was brought, from the loss of his wife and
children, and other afflictions, into au almost hopeless
state of nervous fever. Ever other remedy having been
tried in vain, he went to Grcefenberg, to place himself
under the treatment of M. Preissnitz. He had an almost
unconquerable aversion to cold water ; but without first
consulting M. Preissnitz, he was induced one day, when
the thermometer was at 24 degrees of Reauinur (86
Fahrenheit), to take a cold bath. This brought on an
inflammation of the brain, and the sufferer became so
violent that it required six men to hold him. In this
state M. de Preissnitz adopted the following system:—
Though perfectly delirious, he was bathed in the river for
15 minutes, and then carried by main force in a raving,
state to a bath, the water of which was at a temperature
of 12 degrees R. (56 F.), and there detained nine hours,
from one in the day to •ten at night, M. Preissnitz re-
maining with him all the time, and keeping his head
constantly cooled with water at 71 R. (48 At the
end of this period the cold fit came on, and violent
shivering ensued. In this state the patient was carried
to his bed, where he fell into a tranquil sleep, which
lasted till next morning. On waking, his senses were
perfectly recovered. An eruption came out over the
whole of his body, and terminated in pustules, which dis-
charged humours, and contributed to restore him to a
state of convalescence. The treatment was applied in
presence of an English, a Swedish, and an Austrian
physician, all of whom declared the cure miraculous.
On the same day, M. Preissnitz, by the same means,
cured his Own daughter, a child, of a nervous fever, and
next day she was seen playing on the public promenade.
Her Majesty's ship Belleisle (74) arrived at
Cove last evening at seven o'clock, and anchored nearly
opposite traulboline. The Indus (80)' is looked for
hourly. She will be followed by others, and it is ex-
pected that our harbour will, in a few days, present the
spectacle of several men-of-war floating on itsiwatus.—
