With great precipitation,
And should he find us here tonight,

The boat was at the landing
And with the drenching rain their clothes
Grew wet where they were standing

His wrath was turned to swearing.
For by the lightning's angry fash,

One lovely hand held all his cash,
And one was round her lover
Come back, come back he cried in wee,

aon the goth April, 1851, at six A. NJ, saw
two full rugged ships lone about 800 tons' me
other 350l on an iceberg, high and dry. the 'oi-
ger one on her beamends, head TO tbe wese

over. nearly upright both vessels apparently
abandoned. The Renovation was then about
al miles 10 the eastward of Cape Race, and the
;ceberg about FIVE miles northwest. The mas.
ter was sick in bed, and when called him and
stated that tw o vessels were in sight on an ice
berg, he was too unwell TO take any notice,
and answered, Very we'll , therefore did
not like TO take the responsibility of bearing
up TO examine the vessels. The log on board
the Renovation was kept by me, and those cir
cumstances were entered by me in the log

Young, 1.-THE owner at North Shields
Mr.. Simpson has furnished the Admiralty
with sketch of the vessels. both of which
were painted black. The man at the wheel
on board the Renovation has also been exam
ined, and corroborates Mr.. Simpsons state
ment.
We leave our readers TO draw their own con-
illusions from these statements. II is probable
that the appearance of the two ships was an
optical delusion, caused by the double refec-
ton of the Renovation from two surfaces of
the iceberg to which il IL said they were at
tached, as, if the objects had been real ships,
some other vessels would have seen them on a
coast so much frequented as Newfoundland is
by fishing and trading vessels.

CHINA.

A rebellion, which seems 10 be Of very
bloody description, is in full progress in the
Celestial Empire. From the accounts received
by the Franklin, it would seem that the rebels
were every where successful. On one occa-
on they enticed the Tartar tgovernment)
troops into an ambush, and slew 6000 of them.
How many besides were taken prisoners, or put
aors de combat the account does not say. On
another, Tartar General, having provided
1000 chosen troops with fire cartridges, endea-
vored to surprise the camp of body of rebels
in the night, and set it on FIRE. The rebels.
learning his intention, ,sent body of troops
to lie in ambush upon his path, and rise upon
his rear. The plan succeeded so well that the
Tartars were completely routed. and returned
to their camp, having lost $500 out of their
1000 men. In one district they had united
with certain mountaineers, and had body of
10000 men. In consequence of the scarcity
OF provisions, the government troops were de-
sorting by thousands. A Tartar General hav~
ing marched out of the city ofLoon gon to sur
prise body of rebels, they got in his rear,
took the city, and fortified it, SO that they could
not get back again. The most important of
the victories, however, yet gained by the rebels,
was one in which, by various stratagems, they
draw Tartar army of 10000 men into an am
buscade, and after killing vast numbers, took
5000 prisoners.
The following paragraph, from Canton pa
per, we suspect, explains the whole cause of
the rebellion

lowing news: He states that, in consequence
OF the farmers of Sze-chuen province having

or five lie on the south side of the Chez king
hill; after the men had dug space more than
600 feet, thew suddenly found a wall of bricks
and stone before them, piled up SO well that
they appeared to have been done by men,
When these materials were conveyed from the
tunnel to the foot of Chez. king hill, the work.
men found that they looked like stone and yet
not stone, and of various sizes; in shape some
resembled an OK tongue, some were like mans
fist, and others resembled bricks, and they were
all covered with yellow mud; some of the
workmeE then took them and had them wash
ed and broken, after which they saw the white
substance very different from bricks and stones
They thought at first that they were pieces
Of copper or lead, bit after careful eramina-

When King Teen-,ch got this silver, he used
it in purchasing paddy and rice, which he
