Her owners, we believe, nally changed her name to her present one, the Garryowen, after having` ...._-1- - losing two men in a gale of wind on Lake Erie, during a furious gale on Lake Ontario she car- rieyd away her fore-top and main-top-masts, with jib and ying jib-boom, and all her top hamper, lost her quarter boat with three bands, stove to pieces near I-lumber Bay, and was with dnfculty saved from foundering by being towed into" that port through the means of a friendly steamer. From this time her fame for ill-luck was fully established, and the greatest ditculty was expe- rienced in nding officers or crew to man her. Old sailors would view her wall-sides, shake their heads ominously, and vote her a coin for some crew yet, and months often after elap- sed before she could procure a crew. It is most probable that to the defect in her build, for she was certainly no model of naval architecture, and to the circumstances that the superstition connected with her obliged her owners to put up with a very inditferent set of men as sailors to navigate her, that the most of her misfortunes are really to be attributed to. This no doubt takes away some of the romance of her history, but is probably the true solution of the mystery of her unusual ill-luck. In the fall of the year 1860, on the 24th of November, during a. heavy gale of wind and sleet, and during intense cold weather, the ill;-fated vessel went ashore at the head of Wolfe Island, and the captain, with every soul on board, perished. In the position on the shore at Wolfe Island the vessel lay for some time, when she was purchased as she lay by Messrs. Comm 3: Co., of Kingston, and once more she was started as the bark Stork, but her career under the name of that lucky bird of the Hollanders was till destined to be unfortunate, and so poweiful had her fame for losing men her. and no ___ _._._,,. -........, nun sun. nuns: nuu crippling of one or two others. This circum- stance at the time was, with the superstition which attaches to seafaring men, considered a. bad omen, and old bsrgemen shook their heads, and prophesied for her an eventful ind unfortu- nste career, These predictions proved so for true that, while pursuing the quiet career common to vessels of her class she was twice run into, suering more or less damage from the collisions at each occurrencer and during one of these mishaps she lost 3 man, who was drowned, knocked orerboad- from n blow on the load during tl.e dis tste r. With a name for bad luck ass barge already t`:lll.llal1Cd she passed into the hands, we believe, of Mr Jas- Morton, of Kingston, who had her taken to the ship-yard at Portsmouth, cut, and lengthened, and finally turned out as the [,t'optll:'t' lnkerrnnn, It would natumlly be supposed that the tuulign Inuence attaching to her as 8 barge would have ceased with her conversion into a propeller- But no! she was is doomed vessel from her cra- dle, and her very first trial trip as n. propeller was attended wi:h an accident which caused those present acquainted with her former ill~l'.thte as a barge to remark thatit was of no use ulter- tng her make or shape, the devil himself was in her very timbers. As she neared the wharf, where a. crowd was Waiting her arrival, and when close to the dock, her heavy forwarl spear dropped with a crash among the crowd, killing r one person on the spot, and seriously wounding one or two others. Alter sshort career as ll propeller, during which two of her crew were lost overboard on Lake Untnrio, the unfortunate vessel nally blew up in Toronto, killing several, and injuring seriously others of her crew. Her career as B propelier terminated, she next ap- peared as the bark Tornado, and upon the day of her launch the fates appeared so Tar propi- tious, that the weather was fair and lovely, and she left her place of repairs for the water with- out an Accident, and decked with her new bright spars and snow-white csnv`ss, she appeared to be on the fair road to redeem her unlucky character. Notwithstanding the wall sided look of the craft she rode the water like a duck, and had rrathcrs. , sen-going appearance, a crew of the best sailors to be procuredin Toronto gave her a preference. and 9. captain, cunning in his profession, was found to commend them.

Mary Ann Ilurphy, an elderly ledy,who has been for nearly _a year a stranger at court, appeared again this morning, and was charged with having been drunk last night. In answer to the charge she acknow- ledged to an unsteadiness of gait last night, but stated that it originated entirely from a chronic weakneas of the head, eutailingza peculiar and disagreeeb'e dizziness, which all but her most intimate acquaintances took for signs of intoxi- cation. She could, if his worship wiahed, pro- done a respectable lady friend of hers-a sort of Ire Harris-who would vouch for the truth of her assertions. ' The magistrate declined to en- tertain the idea of receiving the evidence of the estimable lady referred to, but allowed the pris- oner to depart, after admonishing her to take better care of her head In future. Jane Watson, a_ well known old vagrant, out ofgaol yesterday, was remanded. to allow of her being sent off to -her friends `ltrthe Province of Quebec. Mary Sheppard, well known to -the police, and her friend, Hannah H. Reed, were_ch~arged with stealing a pair 5f ladies boots each, from the store of It A. Sutherland, Princess street. The prisoners managed to steel the articles cleverly enough from hair Sutherland : shop, but as the t was afterwards found to be not altogether aetio- faetory, they repaired to an exchange. In answer the prisoners stated that boots in Toronto, but as he the make of Ir Sutherland,.he gave informa- tion of the circumstance to the_ police, when the elfurte of the indefatigable detective was put in requisition, and resulted in their `arrest. Both prisoners stuck to their tale of the purchase of the boots in Toronto, but preferred the megig: trate s disposing of the case to a committal to 3 higher court, and accordingly they were both aent to gaol for three months each. reeeivedthe sentence with a burst of tears, but 8heppard`took the matter very coolly.

Lastly, the atatoment that the play was ul~i. mately abandoned, each side heartily disgusted with each other, conveys a very false impression. The proposition to discontinue the playing came from Mr Dunn, Crtptaiu of the Wide Awalzea, fully a quarter ofnn hour before it was carried into e`.-ct; and the object was to enable the vi- .-itors to avail themselves of the invitation of it trip to Prescott, of which they had been advised prior to their arrival.

An- other `British subject was illegally arrested by the Spaniards at Matanzas, and sentenced to he shot. On the very day appointed for his execu- tion, Cotnmoiore Phillimore entered the bar- bour on board the iron-clad frigate Defence, and demanded bisimmediate release. The Governor consented, but the volunteers said that if the prisoner was set at liberty they would murder him in the streets. Thereupon `Commodore Phillimore landed with a. strong party of sail- iboats.

' l A speciesmi nature-painting has lately come into vogue among decorative artists that deserves mention. They who notice p.pet-hangings in imitation of wood-panel ingmajr have seen some modern specimens, in which the grain of the wood appears with a delify far beyond the reach of art. In some of even the cheaper de- scriptions of Oak stained papers, all the veins and bre-marks are reproduced with exquisite beauty and a reality thst_puzz1es everybody` I who does not know how thevwork is done The fact is, that the wood-grain prints itself. A nely marked plank is taken, and its surface, after being perfectly. planed, is treated with a chemical preparation which has the effect of opening the pores of the wood and, at the sam - time, of thoroughly hardening the fibre. In this way an intsglio printing surface is obtained, from which fsc-similes can be worked by bus- dreds, jut as from a steelor common plate eu- grsving. The natural impressions are as far beyond the combinir-gs and scratchings of the hand-grsiner as photographs are beyond the works of the silhouette-cutter. Where it is de- si'ra`ble to exhibit the grain on an irregular sur- face, the paper copy is used as a transfer; it is wrapped around the receiving ohje;-t while the colour is moist,,and then withdrawn, so as to leave its impression behind it. The inventors have called this process zylbgraphy; a. name, by the way, which has already been applied to the wood>engraver a art.

The cheque novnproducod made on the 10th January, 1868, in-favour of Shay, was lrreguln.-, as the money due had before been transferred to the creditnf Hamilton by himself. During his gab- unce, the second cheque was drawn by Reitfcn- stein, who had the authority to sign in his ab- sence.

The inquiry is as yet. incomplete, save in respect ofoue district-_- that of Bristol, Somersetshire, and Glouces- tershire; but in this part of the country, which has been thoroughly examined, there is the gratifying result thatonly one seventy-ninth--or one fortieth,v accorzling to the tlepth tnken-hatl been exhausted. It`, then, this district has been worked for so many years with only an exhaustion of` not tl litlclll part of its computed store of` coal.it is manifest, without working out the Rule of Three sum, that the supply in this part of the country, at any rate, is to all intents and purposes illimitable, and we ltuve no reason to suppose that the case" will be (liffereut in most of thelotlter (lis- tricts. This;-we repeat, is a satisfactory conclusion to arrive at after the rather gloomy view of the question taken by Mr Glarlstnue, Sir W. Armstrong, Mr Jcvons, and others.

I [I0 UHIU HJCM UI IUC llllllllllh of the exhaustion of the coal-elds of Eng- land, which was more than hinted at, created it sensation, and a searching inves- tig-ttion was naturally insisted on. Mr El- Hot, a member of the Commission, says that the exlmuatihility of our coal-el(ls Li('pcn(il:(i upon the question at what depth the coal could he worked, and this in turn was measured by the heat . at which human labour could be exerted." `This, as the lntcst and best information we have had on the suhjt-ct, is very encouraging. It indi- cates that the supply of coal in depth, and the power of working it by machinery,- may be relied upon to extend to limits nowhere as yet approximated to. The heart of the earth at great depths will. it would appear, be the only obstacle to fol- lowing theconl in n downward direction. But with rapid improvements in ventilating nnd coal-winning" machines, it is prolmbie that, so far us the temperature of the earth is concerned, worlg may be carried on B enormous depths. As to the expense of operations at great distances below the sur- face, the new inventions' now being intro- duced promise to economiee the working ot coal mines, 1-0 as to balance the increased outluy on tnachincry and plant. The next point was as to the supposed waste in the t_-onsumption and mode of winning" our cool. There can be no doubt that we have been and still are very extravagant in the use ofour fuel, and anyiuiprovument. worth ntontioning in this direction must he of low nnd tedious growth. But in respect of the loss accruing lrom the rude method of working the mines there can unquestion- ably he :1 great saving effected.

The continent is not honour of the achievement. because people do not get. enthusiastic over familiar evems_ Still the enterprise is important in the light of the competition which it will create and the advantage whichswill accrue therefrom to the mercantile and general public. The interest of the a.lTair is heightened also by heifliculties which are being thrown in theliway of landing the cable in the United States. The U. S. Attorney-General has posed landing of a subsidiary cable on the coast of `Massachusetts; and Cyrus Field of the Atlantic Company is raisingn. ferment against the French Company, and denounc- ing Erhgnger, one of its directors, as a. rebel agent, for his connection as aibanker with the Confederate loan.
