with an outer silver case, made as the outer cases of pocket
watches were sixty or seventy years ago, so that its appear-
ance is of a gigantic watch. In winding it up it was usual
to pass the left arm through the opening for the face in the

outer case of a pocket watch on the left thumb when winding.
A Chilian gentleman coming in one day, and seeing the case
thus suspended, exclaimed, " Que cosa para freer Huevos."
It is now on board the Calliope, and will, in all probability,
return to the place of its construction after an absence of so
many years, and that, too, without having circumnavigated
the earth by only the very small quantity of longitude be-
tween the most western meridian, reached by the Bounty in
erldeavouring to double Cape Horn, and that of Santiago,

been sold at 12s 3d. No alteration in Tar. The sales in Montreal
Pot Ashes are trifling, but holders of New Ashes are very firm, and
the largest importers are unwilling sellers at 805. Pearl ashes are
in less demand, and although 30s is the price generally required,
there are sellers at 29s gd from the quay. 106 bales Cuba Bees'
Wax are reported at £7 per cwt. Hides —Some extensive sales
have been made, at rather lower rates for Brazils and some des-

No sales reported in Argols, Cream of Tartar, brown Tartar,
Persian Berries or Annatto. Nothing done in Madders, Madder
Roots or Quercitron Barkr The small stocks remaining of Olive

An improved demand has appeared for Fish Oils, and an advance of
fully 208 per tun has been realized for Seal and Whale ; the sales
amount to about 120 tuns ; Cod Oil is held for a higher price, but
no advance has yet been realized; the quantity offering for sale is

generally the Distillers require 525. In Palm Oil little business has
