CAPTURE OF BURGESS. —We gave, last week, an
account of the arrest, and subsequent suicide of Elder,
the accomplice of Burgess, the forger, together with the
escape of the latter in a boat. Our accounts by the Great
Western communicate his arrest, examination, and com-
mittal by the authorities al Boston.

THE SCREW PILE TannTnousE.--This lighthouse in
Belfast Lough, stands about a mile below Gannoyle,
a here the water is never less than nine feet, and the floor
of the house is placed upwards of twenty feet above low-
water mark, amply allowing for any rise or swell. The
ground beneath is, to the depth of six fe?t, loose sand and
gravel, resting on tenacious bine clay ; screw piles of three
and
.a halt feet circumference are here sunk to the depth
of sixteen feet, upon which the superstructure is firmly
secured, to form a basis for the erection of the house;
this is a novel building, and is intended for a pilot house,
and is fitted for this purpose with fifteen commodious
sleeping berths, with separate apartments for the captain
and his mate. The light can be seen only at six miles
distance, lest it should be mistaken for any of the great
lights along the coast. The platform on which the house
stands is in diameter thirty-three feet, while the house is
but twenty-six feet—thus leaving a commodious prome-
nade three and a half feet wide all round, from which the
pilots can descry vessels arriving. The whole expense of
this important erection, including the lighting apparatus,
was but £l3oo.—Mining Journal.
