SUPPOSED WRECK OFF CAPE HoRN.-0n the
2lst of March last. the clipper ship Hornet,
Captain Mitchell, when between Cape St
John and Cape Horn, passed through q field
of floating candles. The Captain first noticed
them early in the morning and for several
hours after, the ship kept passing them in
considerable quantities. At the time. the
wind was blowing a heavy gale from the
westward. Captain Mitchell thinks, from the
fact that there were no boxes. nor pieces OF
boxes, or other wreck, in sight, that there
must have been a wreck and the boxes DASH
ed against shore in order to get the candles
in the loose position. At the same time. there
is possibility of their having been thrown
overheard by n vessel in distress, and the
boxes broken up by the sea.

ing you that have on hand and for sale FORTY Ma
Chimes thirty of which tenhorse and ten Of which

got up to order, and cannot be surpassed in any
spect, as to beauty, strength and duraby-the frames
being very substantial and strong, with much larger
Tanning Mill and more depth Of Seve, with Cast Sleel
Slaftng, and not liable to spring, adding much to the
steadness Of the running Of the machine, The Cyln-
der Of the Ter Horse Machine is thrty-two inches.
Each machine has with it Trucks Horse power Levers,
and the usual amount of Extras, which made and
fitted expressly for each machine, making them less
liable to get out Of order than any other machine in
the market.
Being aware Of the many false plans and deep-laid
schemes that have been taken to defeat this most wor
thy machine which up to the present time has never
known its equal either in Threshing or Cleaning
grain; and as means have been used to defeat the
sale Of the same, by II bogus machine Of very nfe

that no GENUINE Pitts Machine be purchased
