ALWAYS BEHIND TIME.--Any

behind time. The "bead OF the col.
umu" never arrives anywhere at the

EXTRAORDINARY FrsH.-A writer in
the New York Tribune, giving an
account of a voyage from Portland
to Mount Desert, relates that his
party sailed into the harbour in Pen
obscot Bay and commenced fishing.
We were, he says, catching whit
ting pretty freely when, just as it
was growing dark, an exclamation
of surprise from the Assyrian cali
ed us to his side. He had caught
what we at FIRST supposed to be
conger eel, but on looking closely,
it proved to be q fish of the sculpin
family, and of an entirely new and
strange species. 1t was so queer
and savage-looking that none OF
us ventured to touch it or take 1t
from the hook. We inspected and
measured it while the Assyrian held
it at arms length, and, after we had
satisfied our curiosity, the Profess
sor brought out keg of alcohol,
over which he held it, and, cutting
the fish line, let it drop into the pre-
serving fluid.
Its body was shaped like that of
an eel, but its head was square and
blunt. with an almost human face.
1t had stately stoney expression
in it's dcep-set eyes. Its length
was thirty inches andits circumfer-
ence eight inches; but its most re-
markable popularity was its color,
which was a CHASTITY white, except
at the tail, where it shaded into q
rosey hue. There is no fish like this
described by any writer on ictbyo-
logy. and none of us had ever seen
anything of the sort before. The
piolt, who had fsbed in our waters
for more than half a century, de
clared that he had never seen Of
heard of such a creature in all his
experience. Subsequently during
n cruise we showed it to a great
number of fishermen, none OF whom
however, had ever seen any fish lik'
it. On turning in that night w
left our baited lines hanging Owe
the vessels side, and in the morn
ing found we had caught a fish re
sembling the other in everything
: except that it was of a lead colol
: instead of pale white.

The ESCAPE OF Hon. WILLIAM
Preston FROM DRowSINe.-The Lou
isville Journal Of Wednesday, gives us
the particulars Of the escape of Mr..
Preston, our Minister to Spain. 1t
says:
BY a letter received in this city yes
terday from Hon. William Preston,
our Minister to Spain, we learn that
on the I'd inst, he sailed with his fsmi-
" from Marseilles in Spanish vessel,
on his route for Madrid. They had
not proceeded far when the vessel
struck . rock, and all the passengers
we're in imminent peril. Col. Pres
ton placed his wife and two daugh-
tiers in one boat, three daughters in
another, and embarked himself with
his son in q third. The ladies were
all landed in safety, but the boat in
which the Colonel and his son were,
was stranded on a rocky shore ; the
young gentleman was thrown out,
but was rescued by the inhabitants
who had gathered on the beach. The
Colonel himself was drawn back three
times by the recsding waves and un
dertow, and though eventually h
was saved, by the desperate exertion'
of Maltese and Catalan boatmen, h
was in an apparently lifeless condi
ton. Restoratives were efficiently
administered, and We are pleased t.
state that at last advices the Colone
and all his family had entirely reco'
cred, and had gone back to Marseille'
This fortunate termination Of an az
cident, which was so fearful in its pc
lis, will carry JOY to the many friend
Of our distinguished townsman.

LAMoRcIERE AND CrALDINI.-A Ia
ris correspondent, referring to Cial-
dini's defeat of Lamorciere, and the
surrender of the latter, at Ancona,
says:
A curious circumstance is rela-
ted by Lamorciere's friends. When
the General was youth, at the
Dcole Polytechnique, his antlpathy
to a certain Cialdini his classfel-
low was so great, that twice he
preferred missing his class, and &C
cepting q lower place in conse-
quence, in order not to come in con-
tact with the object of bis dislike.
| In class hours, at table, in the time
of recreation, there was constant
occasion of broil and antagonIsm
between the pair. They fought once
with small swords, and Cialdinl
was slightly wounded in the shout

morciere to a comrade one day
"unlcss it be that he has the evil

is near, as if he were destined, a.
some time or other, to cross my
path" By singular turn of events
the pair never met again for years
after the departure of both from thu
Ecole Polytechnique, until one day
on the Lake of Genoa, when OF
landing after q promenade in tn
little steamboat always plying there
Lamorciere happened to raise hi
eyes as he placed his foot upon tn
plank, started so suddenly that tn
. plank twisted round, and he wa
plunged into the water. He wa
soon extracted unframed, althoug
drenched from head to foot. "Tha

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NATCaEz.-
The most destructive fire of the sea-
son, took place about IL o'clock on
Thursday night, in the row of frame
building on Union near High street,
and resulted in their complete destruc-
ton. The flames were first seen issu-
ing from the roof of the house occu'
pied and owned by Mrs. Mary Dixon,
and extended to three other houses
occupied by families, viz Jerry Bald
win, Esq.-house belonging to the es-
tate of Jared Bunce Mr.. w. Nc
Murtry and Mrs. Ashby, double-build-
ing at the corner, owned by M. M.
Love, Esq. Owing to the dry wealth
err, and the slight decay Of some OF
the buildings, the flames spread rapid
". but by the incessant labors of the
firemen, the flames were stopped with
out further loss than above mentioned
The large double brick house adJoln-
ing Mrs. Dixon's, occupied by Mrs
