REMARKABLE PRESERVATION. -- Capt. Chester, of the whaling ship Ann Maria, of Philadelphia, on her late voyage round the East Cape, met with the following adventure: -- One of his boats having fastened to a whale, a second boat, in which was. Capt. C. approached and drove a second dart into the monster. In his agony, the whale rushed with great rapidity through the water, when the rope attached to the harpoon caught Capt. C. round his leg, and drew him overboard. At this critical moment he seized a knife sticking in the gunwale of the boat, and thus armed was drawn under water. The rope soon made a turn round his body. In this situation, moving rapidly down, he first cut that part of the rope around his body, then cut the rope fastened to his leg. Being thus relieved, he rose to the top of the water and raised his hand, grasping the knife. Some distance from the boat he was discovered by the crew, who hastened to his rescue, and took him on board almost exhausted. Philadelphia Gazette. -- [We have only to add, that the Captain is said to be a relative of the celebrated Major Longbow.]

She is the property of the builders, and will carry about 180 tons.

The two gentleman were plunged into the sea, together with Mr. Hamilton, a respectable young man in the employment of Mr. Knox. -- The Major, who has but one arm, was saved by the exertions of his nephew, and when he had placed him in safety on the shore, the young gentleman, with a heroism and philanthropy which is beyond all praise, dashed a second time into the water, and succeeded in bringing in the body of Hamilton, but his humanity was unavailing, for life was extinct. -- Mayo Constitution.
========================
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. -- On Thursday se'nnight, as a driver of Mr. John Mouritz was returning with an empty jaunting car from Carrickmacross to Dundalk:, he fell fast asleep in the car, and the horse, going too near the edge of the road, upset the car and man into a dyke of water -- where they lay for some time till aid was afforded by persons returning from the market, who saw their perilous state. -- The man lay till Sunday morning, when he was found dead on the floor, after having fallen out of the bed, which was about three feet high. -- Drogheda Journal.
========================
ANTIQUITIES. -- A few days ago, some men who were at work in a bog, in the neighbourhood of Iskaheen, discovered, at a depth of about ten feet beneath the surface, a variety of manufactured articles, all of them of brass, and some of them entire, others imperfect. Among them are a number of spear-heads, seemingly adapted either to the chase or war, and mostly in excellent preservation. There are also several rings of 1½ inches in thickness, and 3½ inches in diameter, to which are attached, by grooved hoops, (extremely well executed) remnants of plates also of brass, studded with nails. The plates are thin; and we can imagine them to have formed parts of cuirasses, or shirts of mail, which were lined inside with leather. The most singular relic in the collection is a hollow instrument or vessel, oval at the mouth, where it is 1½ inch across; 3¼ inches long; and terminating in a sharp-edged crescent. It has one handle towards the open end, like those to be seen on Etruscan vases. There are also several pieces of thick wire, both plain and. twisted, out of which such nails as are in the plates might have been made; and, besides, there is a lump of metal, apparently containing, dross, of about 2lb. weight, which evidently has received its present form from having been run into a mould. The brass of which the above articles consist, differs from modern brass in this respect, that it contains much less copper and is far more durable. It is also free of copperas, and admits of a very fine burnish; and, in short, appears to be of the same consistency as that of other brazen weapons which have been discovered in our bogs. -- Derry Journal.
========================
SUICIDE. -- ON the 26th ult. an inquest was held by Wm. Burrows, Esq. Sovereign, in the Cavan barracks, on the body of John Devlin, private of the 59th regiment. It will be remembered, that some time since, Sergeant Devlin put a period to his existence in those barracks. His brother, John, as appeared in the evidence before the Coroner, became quite altered in his manner and habits from the period of that lamentable event. Melancholy and abstracted thoughtfulness took complete possession of him; he avoided his usual intercourse with his comrades, and was fond of walking into the country alone. His Officers treated him with the greatest kindness, and his comrades voluntarily released him from his duties on guard. On Tuesday night, after retiring to rest, he arose, complained of illness, and taking his razor from a shelf, placed it under his pillow. Being defeated in his purpose that night by the vigilance of a comrade, he next morning succeeded in his desperate design, by discharging his own firelock into his breast, while apparently busied in cleaning his gun -- the ball entering the pit of the stomach, passed through the right lung, and out at the shoulder blade. He survived only three minutes. A verdict of "temporary insanity" was returned. On Thursday morning, previous to the departure of the detachment on its route for Dublin, another man who had been a sergeant, and was reduced some short time before, made a similar attempt on his life. but being detected in time, he was marched off a prisoner with the detachment. -- Enniskillen Chronicle.
========================
THE VALUE OF NOTHING. -- In the present great dearth of novelties, when the answer to every question of What news? is necessarily, "nothing," we have thought it might be as well to show; how valuable a possession this same nothing is. -- "Nothing"is more important, than the latest news! -- "Nothing" is more valuable than bread and meat to a hungry man. -- "Nothing" is more desirable than money. -- "Nothing" is more sought after than wealth. -- "Nothing" is more estimable than a good character. -- "Nothing" is more charming than a lovely woman. -- "Nothing" pleases a politician better than success. -- "Nothing" rejoices the greatest number of persons more than health and competency. -- "Nothing" gives an editor more gratification than pleasing his readers. -- Here is "Nothing" repeated nine times, yet it is still "Nothing." -- Since then "Nothing" possesses a worth which cannot be multiplied, it is no wonder that it is of such inestimable value. In offering, therefore, this delectable article to our readers this morning, we must give them great pleasure and happiness, since whatever they may be in search of, they are sure in "Nothing" to be more gratified than in having every thing they can desire.
