MAcKEREL.- Picton Chronicle of the Sd
inst says the immense quantities of mackerel
have, within the past few weeks, swarmed
around the shores of Cape Breton. In Arichat
Harbor, in a single week, sc two thousand bar
rels were hauled, and twenty thousand barrels
might have been taken with ease, had there been
salt to cure them Large quantities were also
being taken at st. Peters and other places along
the coast. These mackerel are small, being
about the size of summer herring, but are very
fat, and are considered more valuable than the
large No. spring fish -

A SINGULAR SPIRITUAL MAN1FEsTATIoN.-It's
well related anecdote, and though perfectly
original, the substance of it, we fancy, has been
more than once experienced, in every night, if
not in every day life, by those who have had
any experience in Caudle manifestations:
A lady-fr who was inclined to believe in
spiritual manifestations, was awakened one
night by her husband coming in, and when he
spoke, distinctly heard three raps, apparently
upon the wall of the chamber. She asked, g Is
there a spirit PRESENT. No answer. She then
insisted that her husband should question the
mysterious visitor, and to crafty her he did 80,
although an unbeliever els there spirit
PRESENT." Tap, tap, tap! ssDoes it wish to
Communicate with me J" Tap, tap, tap! Is it
matter of Importance 20 Tap, tap, tapl" A
host of inquiries of a like nature were made, all
of which were responded to by the three mystic
rious taps; Mrs. j at interval putting
questions, but receiving no replies At last,
her husbands curiosity became aroused, and he
arose, struck light, and commenced thor
ough examination of the apartment, the 'smys-
FERROUS knockings'' whenever he opened his lips,
but remaining obstinately silent when Mrs j.
interroeated &c the spirits" AT last on APP
preaching the bed, the taps waxed furious and
faster, and, upon raising the valance, the
esprit was discovered bodily in theshape of
is favorite bob-tailed terrier Sam, -
who had eseonsed himself under the bed before
his master came home, and whenever spoken to
would make Vaughn of his stump tail; and
this appendage, striking the floor, produced the
spiritual manifestations" Sam was forth
with obliged to "yamos the RANCH and gave
no more manifestations that night Mrs j.
is one of the most amiable of her sex, and is a
great admirer of '.Old Knick;'' but, if you
should ever come to the Mound City, and be in
troduced, as you value your eyes, don't mention

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.-The Mediterranean
Submarine Telegraph is now nearly complete.
The first yart of the line, connecting the Islands
of Corsica and Sardinia with this continent is
already done, and the chief manager of the en-
terprise (Mr. John W. Brett,) assures me, and
in fact he has so reported to the Governments
concerned that the line across the Island will
be in order within few days, SO that tele-
graphic communications may be opened by the
first of August The second part, that between
the Island of Sardinia and Cape Bon on the
French coast of Africa, is rapidly progressing
towards termination, and, it is confidently be-
leved, will be completed by the middle of the
next month In all probability therefore, Paris
will have telegraphic communication with the
French African possessions by the first Of Sep
tember. 5=u .,4=
The company is now in treaty with the British
Government, to run the line from Cape Bon to
the Island of Malta, whence it is proposed to
carry it to Alexandria, and thence on across
Asia to Calcutta, and the British possessions il
India The company engages to extend the line
to Malta within six months, on the terms made
with France and Sardinia for the other line,
viz: exclusive privileges for fifty years, and an
annual subsidy of G10 ,00o-for which Govern
ment correspondence is always to have prece-
