ever, from the captain's account, that the shark had so
thoroughly digested the law arguments of the learned
counsel, they. can render him but little further assistance
before the Courts. The bones of this huge monster of
the deep- have been presented to the Secretary of the
' Home League," in this city, as they may suggest some
new branch of omestic industry.—Southern Paper.
