\ LARGE ISLAND RISING FROM THE SEA-The cap
tain Of the CHILEAN brig TUJai Cain, arrived in Africa,
has made n affidavit, that, during his voyage from
the port Of Valparaiso TO Africa, in lat. 81 40 S,
long. 13o 20 W, he found himself alongside an
island extending ". and 5. about 10 miles. and from
200 TO $50 feet high; that the island appeared TO have
been recently thrown up, and was OF 4 whitish ap-
pearance; he furthermore stated the water about was
very much diseoored. They sighted the island very
early in the morning, and were in sight of it until
night.
Church Acknowledging IS now made easy by
an experiment just completed in Trinity church, in
New York. Ii consists of a paraboloidal reflector of
sound placed at the back Of the pulpit, of which the
speakers mouth is the focus. \ stream of sound is
thas thrown 70 the most remote point Of the church,
and bv its side flow fills the whole body of the build
ing. The structure is quite ornamental and in har-
mony with the general architecture of the building.
All great public buildings, whether for singing or
speaking, may have a similar arrangement adapted
to their use.
Pen AND INK PoRTRAIT-The following is n pen
portrait of the Dictator of Sicily, a. given by a sur
geon whose services had been accepted as a volun-
teer in his service: He is as gentle as a dove, and
has n mild, placid cOuntenance. He has rather the
gentleness Of a woman than the ferocity of n soldier.
He commands in an under tone, and, when every
body around him is full of anxiety, he Is as cool rs a
cucumber His dress Is simply n red flannel shirt,
rather the worse for the wear, a pair of gray trousers.
and a black wide-awake, n beautiful sword; no coat
or blouse.
COMMERCE or THE UNITED SrATEs.-A statement
has appeared in the Washington Constitution, which
shows a total of exports from the United States for
the fiscal year ending June go, 1860, if the figures
are rightly given, of 500, 167 ,4C1 against S361, 1877
209 total imports, being as excess of exports amount
ing to S3S, so, 252. The imports are only about one
million larger than the corresponding total for 1856
Z, but the exports, if the summary is correct, are up
wards Of twenty-seven millions larger than for any
previous year in the history of the country.
\ MAGNIFICENT STREET IN NEW ORLEASs.-A New
Orleans correspondent of the Charleston Mercury
writes as follows The improvements on Canal street
are still continuing, and when finished it will be the
most magulnlceut street III the Oultei states, II not
in the ~wOrld-Jeing eight miles in length, extending
from the Mississippi River TO Lake Pontchartrain,
and nearly 200 feet wide, with a parteTre promenade
in the center of 40 feet ia width At all the grand
Already Clay's monument stands at its junction with
St. Charles. and II Is now proposed TO erect a SPLEEN
did monument to Fulton, to be placed at the head of
the street, fronting the Mississippi. The design, it is
said, has already been made and accepted by the city.
This street i the great promenade, and the fashiOna-
bic side IS crowd cd every evening.
1T. HuNrEK DAvIDsoS's Boar APPARArUs-The
boat lowering, detaching, and attacking apparatus,
lately invented and patented by 1t. Hunter Davidson,
of the United States Navy, has been again tested by
the Government. Commander Craven. in his late
official report Of the summer cruise of the Plymouth, |
says that the life-boat was lowered in twenty-five
seconds from the alarm OF " man overheard and
when the ship was running eight knots through =
rough sea. The boat picked up the ~liie-buoy which
had been let 60, and returned to the snip before the
ships Roadway had been stopped, and consequently
before a boat rugged with the old plan could have
been started TO lower. The boat was drawn up and
secured to her gripping again in one minute, and the
ship was under all sail ON her course. This i almost
incredible and yet 1t Is true. The dangers of the sea
seem TO be entirely overcome in this SIMPLE appara-
tus. invented by an American Lieutenant.
Coal BRAxDY-Among the inventions of later
years the existence of which is not generally known
as IL might be, Is I" coal brandy \ weekly paper
states that, owing TO the moulding and rotting of
the grape, French brandy makers have adopted BIZ
tumiOus coal a a substitute. They distill a potent
spirit thl7 Sta nHSh - huuS H4tiS Il
able for the production of two kinds Of fre-one for
the comfort Of man, and the other for the destruc-
ton of his health, his senses and his SOUL Large
quantities ofalcohol distilled from coal and doctored'
with certain chemicals TO give it the Cognac flavor
are now exported from France to England. Coal
brandy is the latest adaptation of the good gifts Of
Providence TO the purpose of pOisonmongers that has
come to our knowledge. Coal tar has been long used
for the flvoring of whistles but a liquor with a
coal basis is a specimen OF chemistry which might
