The loss Of the President, if that noble
vessel be losl, ought not to create any
want of confidence in steam navigation,
for many Of our finest ships OF war, of the
largest size, and commanded by the most
skilllul, and in every respect, the most
able of our naval officers. have been lost
by laundering at sea. For instance, in
1907, the Blenheim, Of so guns, and the
Java frigate, of 36 guns, both foundeIed
ulr the Isle Of Madagascar, and every soul
on board perished.
The Blonheim had 700 men on board,
aud was commanded by the brave Sir
Thomas TuwbrIdge-oue Of Nelson's ia.
vorile capalns--and who was moi only an
excellent seaman, Of great talent and ex
periencp, but an officer Of science aud
iueXhauslble resources in every kind Of
difficulty and danger, On board the Blen-
helm perished Lord RosehI! and Captain
Elphiustone, the son Of the chairman ol
The East India Company. Not parii-
Gle Of either the Blenheim or the Java
was ever found or heard Of-and the la'-
ter had about 300 men on board-so that
in the Two vessels thousand lives were
lost. In 1871 The ST. George Of 90 guns
and the Defence, Of IA guns, pelshed in
coming only the short distance oft Bal
tic 10 England.
The two ships had about 1900 men on
board, and Of this immense number only
Is were saved. The 81. George bore
the flag Of Rear Admiral Reynolds, an
officer Of the highest merit, and who,
with respect TO seamanship. nautical SCI
ence, experience aud undaunted courage
and fmtitude, had not his superior in the
British Navy. The details uf the loss Of
The ST. George are truly hearirending to
peruse. even at this distance Of time
Scarcely plank Of either Of these i'm,
meuse vessels was ever found or heard
of. Sn numerous we're our losses by

two pieces. Now the good trick was 10

ously awaited il. And the conjurer
said .,..
Now gentleman, which hat shall ! put
the bread and cheese under?"
The landlord pointed out his own hat,
wishing his own hat 10 take part in the
trick as well his bread and cheese. 1t
being so arranged, the conjurer said
"Gan'lemen, have ealen the bread
and cheese, and now | will bring it undek
the landlords hat" and Immediately
placed The hat upon his head and said
Nov you perceive il is uDdep>the hat,
without any deception" amidst shouts Of
laughter from all the company except the
landlord, who was minus three pieces Of
bread and cheese, which he did not seem
to relish.
The conjnrer left the house without
making any collection Of the company,
being we'll satisfied with tue landlords
generosity.
