to the United States. The London Telegraph
ofDeSember 29th, 1868, publishes a gra phic
account of the foundering at sea Of the Ameri-
can steamer Starry Banner, with the loss of
one hundred and thirty-two lives. The do
scription was evidently composed by highly
poetical individual, who styled himself Mr..
Lionel Van Buren,, chief officer, but the gross
improbabilities related should have been suf-
6cient to put the London newspapers on their
guard. "The hail stones were as large as
good sized potatoes" and passenger, Henry
Joy, Major in the United States army, per-
formed such feats as jumping overheard and
saving three ladies, bringing them back to
the ship by holding two with his teeth, and
the third under his arm. The Starry Banner
with her bows stove in, and bulwarks shatter-
cd to atoms, was given up by the captain and
crew to the mercy of the waves, and then is
reported as being "hove to" i'm order to per-
NIT the launching Of the RATS constructed by
Major Joy. The London newspapers ere ex-
pressing their indignation at being deceived
by this malicious hoax. In reality there is no
such steamer as the Starry Banner.

A Great Peace Enterprise.

The London Atheneum, referring to the
field of enterprise which India presents for
civil engineers, mentions the enormous irri-
cation works which the British Govern
ment has decided to undertake in that coun
try, and the cost of which is estimated bv
the superintendent at q hundred and forty
millions of dollars. A beginning has been
actually made in different places, but the
great want is said to be civil engineers who
can plan and dig canals, build dams, tanks
ana reservoirs, construct embankments and
improve river channels. 1t is stated that
IN Central India there are nearly 124, ,OOO.-
600 acres to be irrigated; in Hindostan
100000 acres still Grave water; in the
Mysore district the old native structures
are being disinterred with view to their
restoration to use; the food canals in Scinde
are to be converted into perennial streams:
tank to cost 100000 is among the works
now going ON in the Deooan; two canals
leading to Calcutts are to be made--one
from the coal mines Of Rsnegunge, the
other from the Ganges at Rajmehal; an
other from the Jumna, near Delhi. will
water the Muttra and Agra districts: and
the Sutlej canal, first projected in, 1861, is
now to be put in hand. In Burraab. em
bankments are to be made, and an enri.
neering officer has been sent to sec what
can be doae with the Irrawadi. Every
where indeed, the fertilizing and refresh
