summit, near $50 feet, and the latter

on the margin Of the river. What added
much TO the novelty of the sight, was a.
Dotit 1900 Indians encamped IN their

perfect in every particular. that we may

Familiar with the finest webs OF Asia,
We can confidently assert, that the piece
before us is equal 10 beauty, evenness,
and much superior in the finishing, to the
fine mails Of Hindostan.
This piece is the first experiment made
at the factory Of Messrs Thorp and Sill

From Irvibg's Sketch Book.

The following impressive and disastrous
story, was related by the Captain Of the
ship, to the author Of the Sketch Book, on
his passage from the United STATES to
England.
As was once sailing said he, g 10
a fiae stout ship across the banks of New
foundland. one of those heavy fogs. that
prevail 10 those parts, rendered il impos-
sible for us TO see far ahead, even 10 the
day time but al night the weather was
so thick that We could not distinguish any
object at twice the length Of the ship. I
kept lights al the mast head, and con-
slant watch forward to look out for fishing
smacks, which are accustomed to lie at
anchor on the banks. The wind was
blowing smacking breeze, and We were
going at great rate through the water.
Suddenly the watch gave the alarm Of a
ssail ahead Fit was scarcely uttered be-
fore we were upon her. She was small
schooner, at anchor with the broadside To-
wards us. The crew were all asleep, and
had neglected TO hoist light. We struck
her Just a-midships. The force, the size
and weight Of our vessel bore her dowr
below the waves: We passed over her
and were hurried on our course. As the
crashing wreck was sinking beneath us,
mad glimpse of two or three half naket
wretches, rushing from her cabin they
just started from their beds TO be swallow
ed up 10 the waves: we heard theii
drowning cry miugEing with the wind
The blast that bore it 10 our ears, swept III
out OF all farther hearing. | shall never
forget that cryl 1t was sometime before
we could put the ship about, she was IN.
der such Roadway. We returned, al
nearly as we could guess, to the place
where the smack had anchored. We
cruised about for several hours in the
dense fog. We fired signal guns. ant
listened if We might hear the halloo Of any
survivors; but all was silent; we never
saw or heard any thing of them more.
