ADVENTURES OF A CHRONOMETER.—The chronometer
which was in the Bounty at the time of the mutiny has at
length been discovered, and given up to Captain Herbert, of
her Majesty's ship Calliope. A few particulars relative
thereto will, we are assured, be not without its interest to
our nautical friends. The chronometer, marked " Saroum
Kendal, London, A.D. 1771," fell into the hands of an
American, who touched at Pitcairn's Island, shortly after
the mutineers had settled themselves there. It was stolen
from the American captain on the ship's passage from Juan
Fernandez to Valparaiso, and next made its appearance at
Conception, where it was purchased for thee doubloons by an
old Spaniard of the name of Castillo, who kept it in his pos-
session till his death, which happened lately at Santiago,
when his family sent it to Captain Herbert, to be conveyed
to the British Museum. It appears, on being taken to be
repaired by Mr. Monat, of Valparaiso, that it was in a com-
plete state of preservation, without the least mark of wear in
any part of it. The escapement palates are rubies fixed to
the verge of the balance by screw collets. Mr. Monat speaks
in high terms of the beauty of tha yorkmanship. The chro-
nometer is five inches in diameter, with three dials on its

for hours, oae for minutes, and

one for seconds,

unions there were only 3 which had no issue. The number
of deaths is about 332,700 yearly, which makes nearly 25,592

MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS.--A natural-

near the mouth of the Rhone,

writes as tollows During the inundations, we have seen,
on the banks.of sand, in the middle of the waters near this
place, numerous wild bulls, horses, foxes, polecats, rabbits,
rats, and other animals, usually hostile to each other, con-
gregated together without doing each other any harm, and
among them, a great number of snakes. A man, who had
taken refuge in a tree, found it impossible to prevent several
snakes from making themselves a shelter under his clothes."
STATISTICS WORTH KNOWING.—In Great Britain the
number of individuals in a state to bear arms, from the age of

among the women are, in proportion to the men, as 50 to 54.
The married women live longer than those who continue in
celibacy. In the country, the mean term of the number of
children produced by each marriage is four; in towns the
proportion is seven for every two marriages. The number of
married women is to the general number of individuals of the
sex, as 1 to 3 ; and the number of mat tied men to that of all
the individuals of the male sex, as 3to 5. The number of
widows is to that of widowers as 3 to 1 ; but the number of
widows who marry again is to that of widowers in the same
case, as 7to 4. The individuals who inhabit elevated situa-
tions live longer than those who reside in less elevated places.
The half of the individuals die before attaining the age of 17
years. The number of twins is to that of ordinary births, as

ADVENTURES OF A CHRONOMETER.—The chronometer
which was in the Bounty at the time of the mutiny has at
length been discovered, and given up to Captain Herbert, of
her Majesty's ship Calliope. A few particulars relative
thereto will, we are assured, be not without its interest to
our nautical friends. The chronometer, marked " Saroum
Kendal, Londou, A.D. 1771," fell into the hands of an
American, who touched at Pitcairn's Island,_ shortly after
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-12-29

his words. He says,—" He held in his hand the testi-
mony of a British sailor, a man in the same rank of
life as the peasantry them Selves. A teetotaller, and,
therefore, a man worthy of credit; and his testimony
was, that when a vessel visited Port-Royal, and re-
mained four or five weeks, the captain thought himself
well off if he returned with one-third of her crew. Such

is the climate to which they were about to be entrapped
by the Emigration Society." A stay of " four or five

weeks," at an inclement period of the year, on the most
unhealthy part of the coast, is considered sufficient to
justify the assertion that Irish labourers could not
work four hours in the day in the interior of the
island ! Preposterous !

The assertion that the emigration system is " a sla-
very akin to that of the Hill Coolies " contains two
distinct falsehoods. It is false to allege that the Hill
Coolies are reduced to anything like a condition of sla-
very in any part of the West Indies. It is equally
false to assert that the Irish emigrants will be required
to do the same work, or will be p!aced in the same con-
dition, as the Hill Coolies. It is also a falsehood that
" the Hill Coolies cannot work beneath the sun of the
Mauritius or British Guiana." There are official docu-
ments extant, which abundantly disprove these lying

statement

s. The Hill Coolies are so satisfied with their
treatment in British Guiana, that they are anxious to
lave their friends and relatives out to share their lot.

It is truly sickening to read the palpable and flagrant
falsehoods which are daily put forth to delude the popu-
lace on the subject of the West Indies, and especially
with reference to the climate of those colonies. These
falsehoods can only originate in consummate and inex-
cuseable ignorance, or in deliberate villany. One thing,
however, is satisfactory—they carry with them their
own refutation.

We rejoice to find that the Soup Committee have
put forth their annual appeal on behalf of the poor,
-and that subscriptions. to a considerable amount, haVe
been already obtained. Owing to the severe weather
which we have lately experienced, and the non-arrival
of foreign vessels in our port, employment has become
scarce; and the consequent privations under which
the labouring classes are suffering, loudly demand the

benevolent Lid of those who are placed in affluent
circumstance:,. We trust that the appeal, which ap-
pears in another column, will not be made in vain, but
that a sufficient amount will be speedily realised to
preserve the poor of the town from the aggravated
horrors of hunger and starvation. As there is every
prospect of a protracted frost it is probable that a
larger outlay than usual will be called for.

" As all these gentlemen belong to the class who, as Dr,
Eady says of himself, do good by stealth and blush to find

might otherwise incline them to keep back. We shall begin

wherever it could be found upon the high seas. MA cargo
of the wrecked v,eesel, .which he had intended to have landed
that day, consisting of flour and coffee, he retained as lawful
spoil. It may be mentioned here, also, that Mr. Treat, our
agent at Mexico, has abandoned all hope of treating with
that Government, and returned to Vera Cruz, on his way
home.

A few days after this the San Antonio parted company
with the sloop of war, and went on a cruise. On the 2d
inst., in the afternoon, she came in sight of the above-men-
tioned prize. She set a flag of the United States as signal,
which the Anna Maria answered by running up Mexican
colours.. The San Antonio then lowered the United States
colours, and fired a gun to bring the Anna Maria to, at the
same time running up a Texian flag. The schooner imme-
diately lowered her colours, made all sail, and bore away.
The San Antonio gave her another gun, shotted, across her
stern, when she hove to, and waited for the man-of-war.
The San Antonio came alongside, and ordered the captain to
come on board with his papers. On finding from the ves-
sel's, manifest and register fhat she was Mexican property,
he declared her a prize, and sent her into port, under Prize-
master Fuller, as stated above.
Yesterday evening the case was brought before the Court
of Admiralty, the Hon. A. B. Shelby presiding, and all the
necessary testimony taken ; but we understand the judge has
determined to .hold the matter under advisement until after
his return from the circuit, which will not be' until February
or March next, when the final decree will be given. In the
meantime it is understood that he will issue a commission
this morning to have the vessel and cargo appraised and sold
as perishable property, the schooner being at present in a
leaky condition. Her cargo consists of 124 bags of coffee,
291 bags of flour, 21 boxes of dry goods, and 2 barrels of
spirits of turpentine. There is no question, we think, that
she is a lawful prize.
N.B. It is the opinion of Prize-master Fuller and Mid-
shipman Slaughter, who came up with the prize, that the
report of the steam-ship Zavalla having met with an accident
on the bar at Tobasco is without foundation, and that the
Mexican steam-ship Argyle, which resembles the Zavalla
somewhat in size and appearance, is probably the one that
has sustained the injury, if any vessel has, in that vicinity.

THE UNITED STATES.

The Great Western, Captain Hosken; arrived at
Kingroad on Thursday last, bringing dates from New
York to the 9th inst:,' inclusive. The Great Western
accomflished the voyage in 14 days
.10 hours.: She
brought 69 passengers, and
,nearly 200,000 dollars in
freight. Her departure from New York was delayed
from the Bth to the 9th, in consequence of a dr'eadful
snow-storm in the United- StateS, which rendered the
roads impassable, and prevented the arrival of the
southern and northern mails for three days. Owing
to the same•cause, notwithstanding her detention, she
did not bring the Presidenes message. The following
are the most important extracts from the papers which
we have received :

TUESDAY, Dec: 8-6 p.m.—The late severe storm, by
causing an interruption in the arrival of the mails, has been
matter of much inconvenience just on the departure of the
steam-boat for England. It has also prevented the arrival
of many passengers expected from Canada to go out by the
steamer. In consequence of this, she has been detained until
to-morrow. Some further sales have taken place of bills on
Europe at yesterday's rates, Bta9l on London, and f.17af.5.15

THE POEMS OF LADY FLORA HASTINGS

The last verses of Lady Flora Hastings were written in
May, 1839, shortly before her melancholy departure from
among us. There is a dirgelike ton(
cation, which is sufficiently ' '' •

" Break not by heedless w, rd the spell
With which that strain bath bound in(
For the bright thoughts of former years
Are thronging fast around me.

Voices long hush'd are beard agair

Smiles that have pass'd away

Beam on my memory, as once'
They bless'd mine early day.
Hopes that have melted into air,
And sorrows that have slept—
And betiding from the spirits' land,
The loved—the lost—the wept.

My very heart is young again,
As in the days of yore ;
I feel that I could trust—alas
As I may trust no more."
