SILIEN'T NATION Il► AMERIC4.-At a late assembly
of the deaf and dumb, the Abbe Sicard mention-A
the discovery of a nation in the northern parts of
America, which had no language, but used signs as
the medium of expression. A remarkable circum-
stance is, that the signs employed by this silent race,
are nearly the same as those devised by the Abbe for
the instruction of his pupils.

ISLAND OF Mons.—The island of Mors, situated in
the N. W. of Jutlam!, and separated by the great
gnlph of Limfiord, which penetrates far into the inte-
rior of this peninsula, deserves to beam, the sub-
ject of special notice ; though hitherto in a manner
unknown to the Danes themselves. The population
of it is about eight thousand persons. A language
peculiar to itself is spoken in it. A glossary has
lately been published containing 700 words unknown
elsewhere. This information will interest those who
investigate the northern laeguages.

TENDENCY OF Curears.Nrs.---0n the nth of Decem-
ber, 1807, Mr. W. Somerville, a Midshipman in his
M ?jesty's service, was off the coast of Wexford, in a
prize, at the distance of about ten leagues. Recollec,
ting an old story of a watch
,having been hove over-
board in Spanish America, and taken up in Old
Spain ; he, in a frolic, wrote a letter to his father, re-
sident in Dublin, which he inclosed in a bottle, and
threw overboard. To his great astonishment, about
a fortnight afterwards, he received a letter from his
father, stating, that the letter had bt•en picked up on
the shore of the island of Anglesea, by a fisherman,
who took it to the Rev. Mr. Rakets, Rector of
Tyguine ; and that that Gentleman had transmitted
it, in an envelope, to Mr. Somerville, of Dublin.—
The correctness of this statement may be relied on.
It is well known that the current sets nine hours out
of twelve up the Irish Channel, which must have
caused the expeditious passage, the distance being up-
wards of 200 miles.

Sta IslAc NEWTON, just before his death, modestly
observed,--“ I do not know what I may appear to
the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a
boy, piaying on the sea shore, rnd diverting myself
in now and then finding a smoother pebble, or a pret-
tier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth
lay all undiscovered before me."

In the reign of Henry lII.* Jew fell by accident
into a privy on the Saturday, which being his Sab-
bath, he would not suffer any one to take him out ;
and the Earl of Gloucester not only permitted him
to remain in this filthy condition his own Sabbath,
butdwould not suffer any one to take him out on the
Sunday, by which cruel joke the Jew was suffocated.
A hog, only 13 months old, fed at Lord Cawdor's

whole, 10171 b.

Hospital, on the body of a bpy named Willis, who
had fallen into a copper of boiling water, at the work.

Thursday a shocking accident happened at the
manufactory of Mr. Hart, coppersmith, in the 80.
rough. One of the workmen was employed under
large copper, finishing the bottom, when one of the
standings unfortunately gave way, and the copper
fell on the poor naan, and literally tore one of his
arras from the shoulder. No hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
