" Cowes, Sept. 3.

at Waterford, I have made further inquiry respecting the repot t
sent you on Sunday, and find that it is entered on the log-book
of the American schooner Osprey ; and, therefore, those prts of

the narrative that are so happily falsified Must have been the ef-

were seized at the time of their escape from her. Even now

they cannot be induced to believe that their shipmates have not
perished. On Sunday they applied to the CLrgyman of this
town, who returned thanks to the At.sootrrr for their providen-
tial escape. Nor will any one who has witnessed the awful of
of ships running on board each other in a gale, be astonished
at the impression it made on these men." •

Bring an assemblage of I tetory, Geography, Ilingraphr, and
Natural Knowledge; the whisk costing about twelve poundsi
but furnishing a stock of info' manna and amusement for twenty
frailly fire-sides during two or thresvittrers ; and an inexhaus-
tible source of pleasure and prdlit, fur occasional reference,
for ever.
If the funds permit, two or three good Dictionaries slay be
added of Theology, Biography, History, Geography, and Medi-
cine; or any cheap and compendious Cyclopedia, for *hlcb pot-
pose the Methodical Cyclopedia, in detached Dictionaries, seems
admirably adapted.

The fichoolitratter, the Parish-clerk, or any settled young
man of steady and studious habits, is best adapted to keep the
books, and register their deliveries and returns. Chce a year a
new book may be introduced, to add novelty to the collection ;
and thus, In a generation, a delightful Mule library would be
accumulated.

CANAL NAVIGATION.—The tread-wheel has been
applied by M. VAN HEYTHUYSEN to the propelling
of barges on ranals. The object is to obviate the use
of horses. The apparatus is made light and separa-
ble from the barge, and it is found that two men can
propel a barge by it, at the rate of five miles an hour.
