The Marine Armor,

A diver has succeeded in reaching The
wreck ofthe steamer Atlantic, sunk in Lake
Erie in one hundred and fifty feet of wafer.
The following interesting description of the
means by which this extraordinary feat was
accomplished, we take from the Buffalo
Commercial:
"The marine arrnor consists of perfect
y air tight India rubber dress, topped by a
copper helmet with clear, thick plate of
glass in front. The pipes which supply aud
exhaust the air, lead from the top of this
helmet. The pumping requires much la
Dor; four and sometimes SIX men being en-
plOyed upon it at the same time, and com
PEELED to work hard at that. A great pres
sure of air is experienced by the diver upon
his lungs equal to rs lbs to the inch, and
very few individuals could bear it for any
length of time. When depth of ten feet is
reached in the descent, the dress becomes
entirely emplied OF air, collapsed 10 the body
causing pressure all over the diver equal TO
the heit of a ten pound weight, excepting as
to the head, which is protected by the cop
per helmet. The difficulty in breathing now
becomes great, and painful sensation is ex-
perienced by the diver, the jaws becoming
distended, and the head seemingly splitting
This continues until after descending anoth-
er len or twelve feet, when the pain is re-
leved, the diver feels comfortable, and ex.
periences no further inconvenience. When
about sixty feet below the surface, hundreds
of the legitimate inhabitants of the water sur
round The diver, nibblhg at their strange
visitor, as though lie were food for the fish
es.' After reaching sevenry-tive feet, all is
perfectly dark-a black, impenetrable dark
ness-and all electric fame plays around the
inside Of the helmet, caused by the friction
of the pump. At about one hundred and
sixty feet The water is very cold, being in
the present season within fouror five degrees
Of freezing

Frank Pierce.

The Exeter Ne'os Letter, neutral paper, in
Ginning strongly to whiggery. says:-
GEN. FRANK PIERCE and lady, were the
guests of Robert Means, Esq, of this town, on
Friday last, where the well-known hospitality
of the entertainer was not wanting. Gen. p,
in the course of the day, called upon one of our
citizens who has reckoned in years gone by,
such men as Daniel Webster and Lewis Cass,
among his callers.-Freese Dearbon, ESQ.
Should it be Gen. Pierce's destiny to fill the
lofty station to which he is nominated, we VEN
ture the assertion, that the gentlemanly traits
of character with which he will grace that posi-
ton, will bear favorable and honorable compar-
ison with that spri, of enlarged generosity joined
10Th Republican simplicity, which characterized
some of our first Presidents.
The Congregational Journal, a religious pa
per, published at Concord, N. H., speaking of
Hawthorne's Life of Pierce, says:-
Of Gen. Pierce's political position and prin-
ciples we have nothing to say; in other res
poets we apprehend men of all partirs who are
well acquainted with him, will admit the bog-
raphy does him simple justice.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have been favored by a
friend with the perusal of an article in your
last issGe, relating 10 History of Gardiner

responsible on the part of the AGGRESSION, to
give him any claim on notice. Besides this,
his ignorance, as displayed in quoting Scrip
ture, In his opening sentence, exhibits him as
one whose ambition outruns his knowledge
And more than both the other reasons, the
general, indefinite nature of the charges he
presents against the book. would justify me in
treating his contemptuons attack with silence
This should do, were it not that he is so
definite as to fant my genealogical sketches,
and on the ground that he has detected errors
in the account Of one family, proceeds to deal
IN most wholesale and reckless sneers. He
says, "the author nearly takes leave of times
realities, and INDUCES in flights of fancy much
too extravagant for common life, and coldy
talks of strange events which Munchausen in
all his marvellous wanderngs never met. He
strides over whole generations at bound at
tachlng to one century characters and deeds
belonging to another" &c. And again he
says, sit is too wild in many of its details, to
merit passing notice, though possibly some
items contained an 1t may be correct r'
Now to all this it is sufficient to reply, that
while it is undoubtedly true that there are err
rors of data in the book, the astute critic does
not mention one. Besides, every genealogical
fact contained in the book, was obtained from
some member of the family referred to, who
ought to be supposed to know the fact whereof
he affirms. At any rate, the compiler ought
not to be held responsible. And it is altogeth-
err probable that in the family account where
ga Reader" finds such sad mistakes, he him
self is no better authority than that quoted. If
members of the families whose data are re-
corded are not cognzant of the facts, com
piler might be excused from going to strang-
er for information
| cannot follow your correspondent into all
his gratuitous vituperation, evidently caused
by other considerations than those relating to
the truth or falsity of the book He will find
most of its facts resting on authorities referred
to in foot-notes, and authorities, too, which
are competent to testify to the facts stated
The compiler is willing to rest his reputation
on them, believing that in relying on them, he
has been able to furnish book containing as
few errors as are usually found in first edi-
ton of a work of the kind. ]. w. HANSON.

MAN BURIED ALIVE. An Irishman, says
Virginia paper, who died suddenly on the

opened the coffin, and found the man turned

MAcKEREL. The fishing season for mack
erel IL fast drawing 10 close, and there are
but few weeks left before the vessels will
have TO be hauled up. The returns of muck.
erel this year, at this port fall short one half
of what the receipts were last year at this
time. This is owing mainly to the trouble
at the bay of St. Lawrence, the vessels being
obliged 10 keep farther from the shore than
they heretofore have done, for fear the offers
of the cutters would say they were within
the limits and seize them. Not being allowed
to fish in the Bay Chaleur is another cause,
as our vessels in years past have sometimes
obtained full fares there, and would have
obtained them this year, could they have
been allowed to fish there. Last year at
TINS time, many of the vessels had returned
from their second trips, but now there are
many who have not returned from the first,
ana there will be few who will make more
than two.
Inc prospect for the remainder Of the
season Is not very favorable and if those
vessels cow at the Bay return with more
than nan a fare, they will do better than is
anticipated. The fish at this season tend
mostly IN shore, and at best fishing grounds
there are always 2or cutters who will
keep the Americans off, and they will there
fore not be able 10 do much
The qualify Of the mackerel this season
has been different from those of former wears.
Those brought from the Bay have been yery
large and handsome, and command bioh
prices while those taken off our coast have
been smaller and not of so good quality.-
Sales have been made this week of several
cargoes Of Bay mackerel at the following
