Frauds of Foreign Manufacture
erS.

The Boston Courier notices a remarkable in
stance of fraud committed by foreign nanufac-
turers upon the Bay State Shawls As is very
generally known, the Bay State Mills at Law
renee have acquired great reputation for the
Manufacture OF this article. They are known
all over the country. They use a particular
label on each shawl, the most prominent and
striking part of winch consists Of the arms of
the Bay State. Some foreign manufacturers,
who desire to imp Sc their shawls on purchasers
as the sha wis of the Bay State Mills, and do not
ecnuple to appropriate to themselves the reputa-
ton which has been gained by that company
through its fidelity and skill, have simulated their
trade mark, and placed it on shawls sent into
this market. We are glad to see that they dc,
not dare to forge the name, Bay State Mills
their attempts being confined TO the arms and
engravings, and size and general appearance Of
the label, and calculated to deceive those who
mske ony cursory examination. As these
shawls are in very general favor in this section
of the country, and the counterfeit may find its
way thiihe-, our merchants will do well TO be
sure to purchase the genuine article.-Bosion

Lafes. from Sir J. Ross-Ersraordinary Flight
of Carrier Pigeons. We have learned from a
private source that on Friday last two of the
carrier pigeons taken by Sir John Ross, when he
left the port of Ayr, and some of which were
IN be despatched home in the event OF his either
finding Sir John Franklin. or being frozen in,
arrived at Ayr, finding their way at once to the
dove cot which they occupied previous to being
taken away. The birds we understand, arrived
within short time OF each other but neither Of
them, we regret to be informed, conveyed any
thing in the shape Of letter or note of anykind.
One oflhem, indeed, which may have had some
document attached, was found TO be considerably
mutilated, its legs having been apparently shot
away. The time they were liberated by Sir John
Ross is Of course uncertain, but taking into Con-
sideration the well known powers OF flight pos
sessed by the carrier pigeon, 1t cannot be very
long since they left our gallant countrymen
The arrival of authentic news from the Arctic
regions will be looked forward to with additional
anxiety, from the probability which has now a.
risen that some tidings may have been heard of
SIR John Franklin. Independent, however, Of
the interest which Otherwise attaches to the ex-
traorjinary fight OF pigeons, it will be regarded
by naturalIsis as a most remarkable incident
We do no, reco!lect Of any parallel TO it. Tie
distance the creatures must have traversed can
not be far rom 20O0 miles, and as they travel by
sight, and not by scent, the fact is the more ex-
traordinary. Sir John Ross, we believe, took five
pigeons with him, which i: may be remembered
were stated Ia the last accounts received of hun
to have been at that time all alive, so that still
three are TO be accounted for.-.North British
