The Sea Serpent CaugM.-Thc
Yarmouth Register says that the far
famed sea serpent has lately visited
that port, aad was chased up mar
row creek and caught. He turned
out to be Horse Mackercl, measur-
ing over eight feet in length and
weighing 316 pounds. The Register
Gays:
1t is the opinion Of experienced
fishermen that this is the fish which
has given rise to the belief in a sea
serpent. When it is running at its
ordinary speed in search of prey it
moves along just under the surface Of
the water, producing a wave which
rises up in series of corrugations for
about one hundred feet in a straight
line. before it falls into the ordinary
spreading wake produced by a body
moving through the water. This ap-
pearance in moderate weather SO
closely resembles that of huge ser
pent moving over the surface of the
water it is difficult. even for those ac-
custemed to the appearance, to real
ise that it is nothing but a wave, and
It is not strange that, when seen for
the first time. it should strike the be-
holder with terror.

Daniel e. Siekles again.-"No x, "
the New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, in his letter Of
the 10th ult., writes:
Shortly after Sickles was acquitted
several wealthy political friends of
his in this city started subscription
for fund to pay his travelling ex-
penses in Europe until the commence
ment of the next Congressional sess-
ion, by which time it was hoped that
the unpleasant notoriety attachingto
the man would have greatly subsidized,
and that the adventures of travel
would have repaired his shattered
health and spirit. The fund was to
have been $4,000, and $4,000 was
subscribed, and the subscription was
still going on, / understand when the
news of Sickles reconciliation with
his wife alienated his friends and put
an end to the movement. One Dem
ocratic politician had set down his

sar there would not have been an

FRIDAY MORNING, Sept, 16, 1859
FExr OF ENGLrsH WOMEN, ETC


FEEr OF ENGLISH WOMEN, ETC
"Eothen." the Liverpool correspon-
dent of the Mobile Aduertiscr. says !:
"The ladies here do not dress as ex-
travagantly as our American ladies,
but what astonishes American visitors
is the very large and ill-shapen feet
Of the former"
English women look more to gem
eral health than 10 the beauty and
symmetry Of hands or feet. Pedes-
triau and equestrian exercise is all
the rage, and hence nowhere in Eu-
rope. save in Northern Sweden,
where
'-The damsel who trips at daylight
Is shod like a mountaineer"
are there to be found so many sound,
healthy, rosy-cheeked women.
In our country our women are beau
tiful but decay and die early. A
lilly white hand, tiny foot, a snowy
complexion. are considered elements
of beauty. but to get all these, health
10 sacrificed by their tight shoes. ex-
clusion of Gods bright sunshine and
invigorating air.
In door existence saps the founda-
tions of life, and youth and beauty
fade rapidly. Many of our women
would suffer the torture of a Chinese
shoe, or the amputatiou of toe, as DO
the ladies of Lima, so they might dis .
play little feet by holding up their
dresses at imaginary puddles.
In England, the reverse of all this
is seen. Out-of-door exercise pre-
vents decay, and woman of forty
compares favorably with our women
Of twenty-five. Little feet are made
to put on thick shoes and walk for
miles, and little hands are made to
handle the reins and whip on horse
back.
The great fault of our country wo-
men is that they overdress. They
arc literally smothered in silks. sati1s
and Aounces. Simple patterns. ex-
qusitely fitted to the person is the art
the French women employ to render
them externally attractive. 1t may
be a want of gallantry to say it, but
our men are better dressed than our
women, for which assertion we beg
that our fair friends will not appeal
to ut least any more potent weapon
Of punishment than the indignation Of
their lustrous eyes.

FRENCH Policy IN THE PACIFIC
The French have deserted the Mar
quesas Islands, and have also re-
moved their military establishment,
at Tahiti to New Caledonia. BY this
course they are so much the nearer the
British Colonies in Australia. being
but within few days sail of Sydney
and Melbourne.
In the event of a war with Eng
land this will be great advantage to
France. The highest English mill
tary authorities have given it as their
opinion that the Australian coasts and
cities cannot be defended by fortifi-
cations, in consequence of the i'm
mense extent Of bar shelving there,
which would allow ships of war to land
troops at almost any point, and take
the cities in the flank or rear. The
Australian people are aware of this
and every time there is a rumor of a
war they tremble in their boots. The
banks ofthe Australian cities are glut-
ted with gold, and a descent and cap
ture by foreign army would be at
tended with considerable acquisition
of ''the sinews of war;" We have
no doubt, therefore, that the near ap-
proach of the French to the rich Eng.
lish colonies is not withou: meaning;
if it be such as we have intimated,
the idea is very good one,- {.

out in the middle and turning in at

Thus cut in two, huddled up and sur
rounded by an impenetrable wall of
rope and Zouaves, the enemy would
either have been crushed to death, or
would have thrown down their arms
and surrendered ct discretion.
But suppose, for the sake of argu-

PATENT AMALGAMATING RIFLES
Patent Issued Maroh 1st 1s5e

Patent Issued March LIST. 1859.
The invention consists of forcing Quicksilver into
blocks of wood, which false bottoms for
sluiees, thereby giving Quicksilver surface until
the blocks are worn out. As the blocks are gradu-
ally worn by the gravel, fresh supply of Quicksil-
Yer is constantly exposed ready to amalgamate the
gold that comes in contact with them.
The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the
blocks, are of simple construction and durable. On
man press in one hundred pounds of Quicksilver
in az day, which will give hundred feet of Quick
silver surface, and the process is easily learned.
The shop cost of the machines, are from $14 to
$50, according to size.
