ingly apparent in a circumstance that oc-
Cured at the battle of Navarino.-After
the action, a wounded Turk threw himself
into the sea, and after swimming for some
time, laid hold of the Alcone. The men
on board perceiying that it was man
whose arms were broken and hanging
down, took him on board. He made a

off. Mr.. Martineng, the the chief sur

and sat and smoked his pipe looking about
him all the time. AS soon as he had done.
without saying a word, he plunged into
the sea, and swan back again to his own

sandstone quarry of Corncodale Muir,
about two miles to the north Of Lochmaben.
in the county of Dumfries, are numerous
and distinct impressions of feet, which
leave no doubt that this rock, while IN a
soft state, had been trayersed by living
quadrupeds. Casts taken from some Of
these prints are in the possession of sew

made by the toe than the heel, the forcing
forward of the sandy matter of the rock,
by the downward and scarcely slanung
direction in which it is remarkable that all
the animals have traversed this singular
lcclivity-and, in the largest specimen
found in a different part of the quarry, and
the well defined marks of the three claws
