As some men were clearing a cesspool in Wellington-street,
St. Benedict's, they found, at the bottom, three chamber lamps,
which appealed of great antiquity. Not supposing them of any
value, they were sold at a small price. One of them being sent
to a jeweller's shop to be cleaned., it was discovered to be silver,
of curious workmanship, and at least 300 years old.—Nortvich

EmicriANTs.—The accounts which have been received at
Elgin, relative to the emigrants who went to America this seat
son, give little encouragement to others to follow their example-
By the return of a person who went out to America, along with
mpny.others from this part of the country, we learn that Mr.
Skirving, from Forres, is no more. Mr. "James Thomson and
two of his daughters, and Mr. John Thomson's wife, did not
survive many days after their arrival in America • and a young
man, a son of Mr. Thomson's, was so very ill, when the person
we allude to left that country to return home, that he was not
expected to recover. It is melancholy to think that it is not
vet.four months since these two brothers, with their families,
left this country. where they had plenty of employment, and
sailed for America in the best of health, taking with them up-
wards of £5OO each, and,that in all probability there are not
more than two or three alive out of the eight persons composing
the two families. We never advocated emigration, as we al-
ways considered that the man who had a suffietency to pay his
passage, and support himself until he could cultivate land, or
otherwise establish himself in a foreign country, could have laid
out his money with greater advantage and benefit in his native
country. When any person prospers in America, we are sure
to hear of it ; but it is seldom we hear of the miseries which
many of our countrymen suffer when they go there. unless in
cases such as here stated, where whole families are almost swept
away. Strange are the tales which have been told concerning
the sufferings of the passengers, in some of the vessels which
left this country for America this season. In one instance the
passage extended to nine weeks, with storms and hurricanes all
the time. 0 ten did the captain and sailors give up all hope of
ever being able to reach the land, and so impressed were the
sailors and passengers with the awful situation in which they
were placed, for such a length of time' that they firmly believed
there was some person on board who had committed-murder;
accordingly lots were cast, and the lot fell on one from this part
of the country; but it yet remains to be known whether any
charge of that description could be laid against biro.—Elgin
