| Capt. Warner, on a vessel called the John
| O'Gaunt, off Brighton, which he sank by an invsi-
| BILE agency, the secret Of which he anxious to
sell to the government, has created more than or

threw "cold water" on the project. Captain War
has the alternative Of selling the secret of his
"invisble sher' and his " long range" to any other
power; and having failed, it s said, in coming to
an arrangement with the King OF Russia, he
would be glad, no doubt, to negotiate with Mr.
Tyler, Mr.. Clay, or whoever may be the next
President, for the purchase OF his secret, on terms
| more favorable than he demanded from Sir Robert
| Peel-namely, E4O0O00.

ishes northwards in Great Britain. The highest is

caused by the shorter lives of The miners. The
county Of Lancaster has mean OF &c. the lowest
county, in which Ii Tpool rates at 20. Human
lite in Devon is on average, therefore, 20 years
longer than in Lancaster, and 80 longer than in
| Liverpool.
RUSSIAN GoLD.-The Aurora, Russian frgate, at
Gravesend, brought account OF the Russian gov

finer than the standard. A portion OF II will be ap-
