Rios. 1.—The fears of a hostile visit from the ships of England end France, enter- teined by our governor, were so great, as to in- duos him this summer to have large quantities ofstones sunk in the channel to our harbour, so as to reveal the entrance of at least the ships of t line. And, indeed, this measure of precaution has been executed with such succeu,ns entirely to impede the nevi tion. Now that the British ships are with rewn, several loeded mere t vessels endeavoured to leave the port, but the obstructions were found to be insurmountable, end after several at- tempts to get out, the ships were obliged to re- turn tc the port end discharge their cargoes, sotne of them having suifered considerable da- inege from bum ing on these artificial rocks, though the captains knew exactly where they were situated. The entrance to our port may therefore be considered as totally impervious to hostile shi s of war, end, in the event of a peace‘, wil require a vast amount of labour combined with great expense to clear away the obstructions, end restore our harbour to the status giro ants bellunt. .

They are of forged or hem- mered iron plates, four and a half inches thick, lined inside wit wood, and will measure i500 tone. From actual experi- ment, it has been. proved that the will be impervious to any shot or shell. The con- struction of these engines of war is a very dlfiicult and expensive task.

Tire Cussittitr: PiicrtsI'l"s Doom 0 R.tissu.—Most of your readers (says a cor- respondent of the Cliseliire Counsel) have doubtless heard of Nixon, the Cheshire prophet. In looking over the pro hecies attributed to him the other day, I nd the following, which is to say the least, curious at the present moment:—'‘ The cock of the north shall be made to flee, and his feather shall be no plucked for his pride, that he shall almost curse the day he was born.”— Cheshire Couranl.

Sssasrorcn, alias S:vAs'roPot., alias Sewn- -roi-ot., (or by what ever name the place is to be spoken of.) in “ A Woman's Journey round the World," written by Ida Pfoifler, there appears the following allusion to this stronghold of the Russians. "29ih Sept.—To-clay we stopped at the strong end beautiful fortress, Sewastopol. The works are partly situated at the entrance of the harbour. end partly in the harbour itself; they are exrcuted in massive stone, end possess a number of towers and cutworks which defend the entrance to the harbour. The herbour itself is almost entirely surrounded by hills, end one of ilie safest and most excellent in the world. can hold the largest fleets, end is no deep, that the most gigantic man-of-war can lie at anchor close to the qusys. Sluices. docks, and qusys have been constructed in unlimited splendour end magnificence. The whole of the works were not quite finished. end iliere was an unparalleled nctiviiy apparent. Thousands of men were busy on all sides. Among the workmen I was shown many of the captured Polish nobles who hnd been sent here as a punishment for their attempt in 1831, to shake off lhii Russian yoke. The works of the fortress end the barracks are no large that they will hold about 30,000 men.”

WILLIAM -i-ii: l-‘ounrii.—Hie Majesty, when a midnhipmnn, was present at a ball at Halifax. Nova Scolis, and being struck with the charms of a young lady piesent, selected her for hie partner in n contis dance, at the conclusion of which he -igbingly told her, that if he should ever _stlein ower, she need only send him a copy of the music of that dance accompanied by a request, end that he would, if possible, attend to any demand so euihenticetd. Years rolled on ; the lady married, became a widow, ande ‘grend- mothcr. Prince William Henry became King William IV. , and on the return of Mr. Stanley from Spain in I835, he expressed a wish to enter the llritish Army, on which hie grand mother forwarded a copy of the music to his Majesty, accompanied by a letter reminding him of hie promise, end concluding by asking for an ensigncy without purchase for her grandson. In a few days she was honoured with an auto- graph letter from the King, stating hie perfect remembrance of the dance, end the promise referred to. end hie intention to accede to her request with respect to the nomination of her grandson to an cnsigncy, which accordingly took place in May i835. Captain Stanley joined the 7th Regiment at Madras the name year, end has served with it ever since.

It is stated, that Lady Franklin has resolved to expend the last remnant of the fortune coming to her by her husband's will in fitting out another expedition for the quarter mentioned by Dr. line.

SINGULAR Cwsr or A Wttnctr.—The propeller Cincinnati, while on her trip from Chicago to

nwego, was can ht in the gale of week before last, on Lake I uron. During the storm a heavy hawser, with a lightline attached, which was called ready for use on the forecastle deck, was washed overboard by the sen. Soon after this, the engine of the propeller stopped on its centre, and all the eflorts of the en ineer and his men were insuflicient to move it e ther way. On examination, it was found that the hnwser had been caught by the screw, and wound com- pletely about it, in numerous complicated coils. Axes and chisels were procured, and the at-

m t was made to relieve the screw of its bur on, but before this could be done, the un- manageable craft went ashore on the Canada side, where she now lies. Probably no wreck was ever attributable to such it cause before.- Cliicago inter.

Tiit: Arruroii DONATION.-—Th0 splen- did legacies of the late Samuel Appleton of Boston, have recently been distributed by his executors, so that the amount and the direction of the bequests are now known. The aggregate sum distributed in two hun- dred nnd ten thousand dollars. The largest bequest was $50,000 to Harvard Univcsity for the erection of a chapel; $l0,000 goes to Amherst College for a Zoological Cabi- net; $10,000 for a University in Wiscon- sin; $15,000 to Dartmouth College, to com- plete the Appleton Professorship; $10,000 to it School of Design for F emulss, and $10,000 for Education in Liberia.

Citironnis Ice Minirsr.—-Ice sells at three cents per pound in San Francisco, and three companies have been competing for supplying the city. The first was the Boston company, which brings its ice from Boston by way of Cape Horn; but this long voyage renders it difficult for the com- pany to sell ice cheap, and consequently its depot at Sacramento has been converted into n grist mill, and the company itselfis said to be about used up. The second is the Sitka lce Company, which obtains its supplies from the Russian possessions. The third is the North-west Company, which also gets its ice somewhere up the northern coast. Those two sell much cheeperthan the Bostoniitns, and are gra- dually getting possession of the market.
