NAVAL DEPOT,

CT The following is extracted from an "intcrest-
rlg letter from an officer Of the u. s. Macy, 10 has
friend, member Of Congress dated at flashing
ton. Sept IL, 1885," recently published IN that
highly valuable paper the Baltimore Weekly Reg.
ister j
"The most eligible spot for a yard of the
proper kind is at Newport, X. |. Nature
has there formed one Of the finest and most
capacious harbors in the world free from all
distractions by icc--casy Of access to the
largest ships--diflcult to blockade--of CEN
trail stua,ionGsecure from all external at
tacks, and at all seasons of the year il has "a
free and open egress to the ocean. Newport
may be so fortified as TO defy the whole unit
ed power OF The BRUSH navy, and our ships
OF war lay at the same time in perfect socur-
i'y within sight Of lhe ocean. A yard at this
place, provided with dry docks and all other
necessary conveniences, would DC capable of
accommodating the largest ships we may cv-
er build, and. when defended by the neccssa-
ry foruhcations, would be conducive at the
same time TO great and most important ma
lional benefit. For, besides preventing an
enemy from possessing himself Of position
that IN all respects would be of great advan.
tage to him and highly injurious to US, we
should be enabled 10 avail ourselves Of it as
an eFectual protection for the navigation
from thence to New.Y York, Long Island Sound
and The Vineyard, and thus to prevent few
hostile frigates from cutting of the commu.
nication by water between our southern and
northern States. Indeed no place in the
world, will venture TO say, offers greater
facilities and advantages for naval establish.

RECIPE FOR A COLD.

From the European Magazine, Of July, 1901
The late DIR. James Malone's recipe for Cold, which
he most strenuously recommended.
Take large tes.cup full OF linseed, two
penny.worth Of slick liquorice, and quarter
oi pound of sun raisins-put these into two
quarts Of soft water--let il simmer over the
hre till II is reduced to one. Then add to II
quarter Of a pound Of brown sugar candy,
pounded, le.spoon foil of old rum, aud a
tablespoon full Of good vinegar or lemon
juice.
NoTE.-The rum and vinegar or lemon
Inice, are best 70 be added only to that guam
tity you are going Immediately to take, for IT
1t is put into the whole il is apt TO grow Hat.
Drink baIf pint a, going to bed, and take
little when the cough is troublesome.
This medicine generally cures the worst
ef colds in two or three days and II taken
in time, may be said to be almost an inialii-
bic remedy. IL is a most sovereign and bal
ssmic cordial for the lungs, without the op.
eniug qualities which endafgeF fresh colds IN
going out. j, has been known TO cure colds,
that have teen almost settled IN eonsump-
lious, 10 less than three weeks.

The capture of this ship begins to be Sc
riouslv doubted. 10 addition to what is
said under the Charleston head, of her ha-
wing been lately spoken at sea, it is stated
by gentleman from Norfolk, thar Mrs
Decatur has written to her father in that
place, that the letter she received was not
in her husbands hand and that all the Iet-
ters bro't by the British flag boat that put
into New London, appear upon comparison
tn have been written by the same hand
If this be true, & if the Pilot who carried
the ship TO sea from N. Y declares that she
went clear without ouching any bar or shoals
on the coast, the probability Of he reported
captures being ho0c is plausible enoueh
But why are the PHILADELPHIA and N York
papers silent. on the circumstance of the
resemblance in the hand writing of the let,
,ers, and the decIartion of the p ilot respec,
ing the Presidents getting clear off the land
These circumstances were sufficiently in
teresiing we think TO excite interest and
stimulate enquiry but we do not recolIect
to have seen word on the subject in any
New.York or Philadelphia paper. The
trct OF the POmoaa's being IN the harbor of
Nassau with troops on board, carries con
siderable weight with il. Our readers will
call to mind hat several of the letters re.
ceiyed in New-York, &c. as being from the
captured officers of the President, were da d,
ed on board of oh NJ. :. Pomona" Now,
unless there are two ships Of THAI name on
the British Navy list, this contradictory &C .
Count of the Fomona's station and employ.
nent is alone sufficient to render the re.
ported capture doubtful. Upon the whole,
