The Dead Calm at !Sea.--In The year
1879, the East India Compauy's ship Mar
quis Camden, on her homeward bound
voyage from China, when just clear of the
well known Straits of Sunda, experienced a
dead calm, which, strange to relate, contin-
ued for an uninterrupted succession ef ~
days. The thermometer ranged during the
whole period from 9S' 10 1922 Fdhrenheit,
in the coolest parts of the vessel; and
nought but the unflnching bravery of the
Commander, tempered wiih that generous
humanity which sought to alleviate the ships
company's sul!erings, could have saved the
latter from The commission of The most
thoughrless extravagancies. The phenom-
enon was endured, however, with patience I;
and one morning the spell was broken, to
the unbounded delight of the prison-bound
crew.

Pirates taken.-The U. s. ship Cynne,
on her recent voyage to the Mediterranean,
spoke the Hlbernia, CAPS. Cobb, who in
formed Capt. Percival that the English brig
Isabella had short time previous been
robbed by Pi'ates, not many miles from
where the two ships then were. And, ac-
cordingly, Capt. p. determined, if possible,
to overhaul The rascals, aud bring them to
justice. Touching at the Western Islands,
he there learned that the pirates were bound
TO Santa Cruz, Tenerffe, for which port
he sailed Immediately, and on his arr ival
found the pirate in the harbor, at anchor.
Information was given to the English Con
sui, and the pirates were taken aud put in
prison tn meet their trial at Santa Cruz.
