The NAVAL COURT ENoUIRY-AsroUNpINe
DIscLosUREs-We call the attention of our readers
to the report, in another column, of the proceedings
OF the Court OF Enquiry on the conduct of Com.
mander Mckenzie, OF the Somers,
If the disclosures this inquiry, and the astound
ing and extraordinary narrative of Mckenzie do
not asonish the whole community, we know not
what will, Only think of commander, after exc.
cutting three men, and ordering three cheers for the
American flag, then saying to his crew that they
should also "Give cheers for God almighty" The
singular mixture of folly, Stiffness, and blasphemy
IN his narrative, is most extraordinary Onefact is
now certain, the identity of this narrative with the
article In the ''Courer and Enquirer is perfect and
complete.
We leave the public to Judge of this awful affair."
and to wait for the rest of the evidence AS no
copies for the newspaper press were allowed to be
taken by the Court of this extraordinary Nara
tlve" the only FULL correct, and word -for-word re-
port is only to be found in the "Herald," as was
taken down by our reporter from the lips of Mr..
Hoffman.

ANIMALS AND GIFT BooKs-Reader, if you re.
CURE an elegant Annual for presentation to your
lady-love, wend your way to the bookstore of the
Langleyss', Chatham, opposite Chambers street, and
our word TO you, you will thank us for the sugges.
ton. Some idea of their choice collection may be
formed from glance at the costly display of rich
and superb works of art which illuminate their win
dows; and which seem to indicate any thing but
want OF business enterprise in these ''hard times"
We guess the secret of this-ther prices are in ac
cordGnce t0ih the times. We need not say go, but
we do say don't all 60 at once!

IRON SAFEs-It is a wellknown fact that those ar
tlcles improperly called Safes, made of oak plank
and.covered with sheet iron, are about as unsafe
receptacle for books and papers in case of fire as
can well be devised.
We yesterday saw the fragments of one of those
mlscaled safer, taken from the ruins of one Of
the stores consumed in the confagration on the
night OF the 18th instant the contents of which were
entirely destroyed. We have coed reason to believe
that these objections will not apply to Wilder's Pa
tent Salamander Safes, but would recommend to
those who have use for safes to call on Mr.. s. c..
Hewing, l39 Water street, and examine the trial
safes and Committees report and also avail them
selves as we have done with one of these property
preservers.

inducement to the public to attend the course, which
are not given Free but for which all are required to
pay; and of course having paid tor the privilege of
hearing those persons lecture, whose names have

quietly for little while This has been caused by
the dangerous illness of Sir Charles Bagot. AS, how

motion. But we presume that the Governor will
