Tie steamship Caledonia, Captain Mcclellan
which lef; the port Saturday. 2d instant. At r
VI, arrived NJ Halifax Al quarter 20 seven p. W.
N the 7tn instant, after most tremendous rough
passage with some damage TO the padde.boNe'
and the loss OF her li;. boat. The third otfl er ara
-srpenter had their legs broken, and nine seamer
wero badly injured She lay to hitytwo hours
Il was doubtful whether the third officer would sur
i've his wound. The Caledonia arrival at II Al
lax was looked for with great Anxiey. and When
she was announced below, crowds OF people crowd
ed the wharf 10 inquire into the cause OF her ce-
lay. The passengers never expected to see hait
fax, nor any other port.
We understand that Mr.. & Wells Comstock,
Young man in the employ of Messrs. Comstock <

THg ELEcrRo-MAGxxrlc PRiSrIvc TELE-
GRAPH.--A remarkably curiou. instrument, bear
ing the name of the Eectro-Megnetc Printing
Telegraph" is exhibiting al the Polytechnic l'@ti-
tution. The object Of this invention Is to convey
/ information from one ace 10 another by means
OF the electrical current in such way, that words
or sentences transmitted from one locality are IN
simultaneously printed in another however distant;
and this. too, without the agency OF any person IL
the place IL which the correspondence is to be
forwarded The means by which this cSiraordi-
nary effect il produced arc simple enough. Three
wires for the passage OF the electric fluid are first
laid between any two given places. IL one end
OF these wires is attached plate with one
revolving hand. which !. kept IN mouon 10y
spring. peg stops the hand when required an.
the face OF the dialplate centan the letters oil tho
alphabet separately arranged in circle, each let
ter having small hole in the plate, Immediately
unde meath il, into which the peg is placed, when
the revolution of the hand is to be arrested. To
the other end o: the wires Is affixed a small frame
work. ana int il arc introduced cylinder, round
which the paper to be printed on IS placed al.o,
wheel having the letters OF the alphabe, arranged
irl-t f,lla
All these rcvolye horizontally and simultaneously.
the wheel with the letters being placed between
the ink roller and the cynder for paper. Motion
Is communicated to these pats BY pair OF electro
magnets attached 10 them aad communicating viii
the wires Thus, il the word thee is to be-
printed the hand on the d!al- plate i allowed TO
revolve uat il reaches the letter 7, beyond which

stopped the printer place. bis finger on a spring
attached to the plate, whicii allows current OF

which can hardly be explain. without diagram

might DC attended with sreai success The length

would BE- the same. There are some minor par
