p AN Iron Bag. I'VE yesterday visited
the iron brig Josephine, Capt. Chas. Wor-
ham,, of 218 tons register, which was butt
in Liverpool, and whose hull is entirely
constructed OF iron, about One-third of AZ
inch thick. The sheets Of iron are laid
over each other, and rfveted inside on a
strip or bar of iron, SO that the outside has
the appearance of beng one piece. She
has three separate holds, divided by sheets
of iron, so that ifone part of her should be
come injured, the vessel would still be- safe
The cOmpasses of the v, ssel are protected
by magnets 80 arranged as. to- produce a
magnetic current, which prevents the at
traction of the needle by the iron. She is
in every respect beautiful craft, and as
she now sails under Yankee coors, we Eave
no doubt Improvements will be made on
her.---[N, Orleans Pic. = 81

1t is said, upon the best authority, there
has been serious mutny among the
knocking glrIs," recently returned from

for full disclosure Of the ''grand secret"
We hope, for the sake of u great many good

INFLUENCE OF THE GALLows.-Tbe ne
gro, Garrett, sentenced to be hung at Mar

Etherton, was executed on Friday week,
in the presence Of the greatest concourse If
