"'i”:'' FORBies vaai rrr*ciUtcd for.tho PhiladolpltijOS^i^t^Bullctiiijl —--The Marseilles papers arfefitlefi-*/ itta -ablalls on the snbject of threatening letters addressed, to merchants of that city. Inondcase at.least these menaces were accomfp&nied with-more serious attempts. W&find in ;a " journal of Marseilles the following story, "which 'seems to be Spiced for the warm-weather: Mens. R, a rich merchant of the town.has had a long-life of good luck overshadowed by . a .circumstance which savors of romance. , About five or six days' since 'TOatt&me R.- re ceived, in her husband’s absence, a letter, in Which she was advised to have ready 20,000 bancs to pay over next day into the hands of a woman y?ho would be found In a certain' place, in default of which a misfortune would arrive to her and her family. Mme. R. communicated the letter to her hus band, and thought little of it j After dinner next\day, Mons. R. was quietly sipping his coffhghythe garden, when a porter arnyed with a magnificent volume .which he‘handed, to the merchant. Mons. R., unable to guess from whence such a pre sent could come, and astonished at its weight which seemed extraordinary, instantly sus pected some menace. He therefore examined the book with particular care,- and observed that the leaves were glued together. Sepe rating the pages with extreme caution, he give egress to about 300 grammes of powder. The letter of the day before recurred to the memory of all present. The safety and suc cess of his first-examination emboldened tfio operator, who, wishing "fo trace the matter to the end, gutted the book to make an autopsy.@-The foliowihg articles were found ■within the covers: Gun-cotton, a half dozen balls, and two mercurial fulminating cap sules, tied together by a thread. On opening the book the.thread would break, operate a spring, and set fire to the gun-cotton. M ms. R., manned, ran without loss of rime to the procureur imperial, narrated the case, and learned that he was not the first to suffer 1 bom the same thing, but that a band of malefactors was making the city its head quarters. Not mnch comforted, Mons. R. returned home, and next day received the following note: ‘ “Monsieur: you have brought up a com plaint before the procureur imperial; trouble thrown away. We are perfectly safe from the researches of the police. We do not fear it, and the proof is that to-day it is no longer 20,000 francs,but 30,000,which we demand of you. If this gum is not paid down to us, you, your wife, and certain members of .your ‘ family, will be assassinated.” This menace has not yet been put in ex ecution, although Mons. It; has not produced the ransom demanded; but he has reason to believe that Marseilles has become a branch establishment of the Abruzzi. ' The threaten ing letters all come from the same person, who signs Bandolini. One of the letters de clared that a perfectly organized association 7was formed in Marseilles, and had fixed on j eight merchants to be levied upon, each for a sum of 25,000 francs; it affirmed that a few j of these demands had been“Shceded to with a I good grace, and that those who resisted would i beDd before long. The recalcitrants were j marked for assassination. j The police are searching for the criminals: j but have found nothing up to the present time. The French papers are constantly finding curiosities that London people know nothing about. In the London suburbs there are said (by French reported to be shops for the sale of dirt diluted into mud. These establish ments are called splashing houses. A swell who owns neither lands nor dogs, but who has a credit with some tailor and can make a pretty good figure,announces to alibis acquaintances that he is off for the ohase. He quits his lodgings saying that he shall be ab sent eight or ten days, and buries an obscure part of the city. On the day fixed for his return he puts on a hunting cos tume of the most .admirable cut, and strolls towards the splashing house. There, for the modest sum of three shillings, he causes him self to be splashed from head to footr. These singular shops have m.ud from every county, principally from those where the chase is the best- They are luxuriously fur nished with mirrors and a wooden horse. The bargain for the mud is made with the greatest gravity. On the appearance of our daDdy the groom of the establishment asks: - “From which county does the wish to return? Staffordshire? Derby*- 1 shire?” “From Kent" ' , v “All right. Please to mount. ” The sportsman bestraddles the i automaton pony, which begins to strike out with its fore and hind feet, trotting, stamping and sprink ling itß rider with mud with the same irregu larity as a veritable hunter stretching across fields. The splashing received, our fashion able pays the fee, glances approvingly in the mirror, and, riding-whip in hand, betakes himself to Bond street, Piccadilly, or Pall mall, where he flaunts his speckled costume, - that people may think he has just returned fiom a superb hunt. It is evident that, until the mud is dried, he is careful to guard him self from the contact of passers-by, who might derange the symmetry of the painting. - 'ln fact, tne proprietor in England is the ■veritable king of the country. Let him spend and spend again, his ruin is never complete. . Some Binecure in India is is ready to repair wholly or partiajjy the broken fortune. It is ''only necessary to be credited among the land-owners to • have an unlimited run among tradesmen of every class ; and the parfc.of the splashing is'to extend this credit For the greater number of those who see ,him go by the crust of mud is, if not a proof, at least a presumption that our swell is a pro prietor in one or other of the counties of .England. Let him next day present himself at the shop of .some merchant •who lias observed, him gie evening before, and he will .be welcome ; he may order whatever he likes. Elegants are spoken of who by <3int of great expenses, loans, and a final touch of the splashing-horße, have married heiresses. Others, less fortunate,, let ■ the match bum out and bring up in prison when they have not time to escape to the continent. , Whether success or failure forms the finish of - the adventure, it is none the less true that the idea of the splashing shop is one of the “dus tiest” developments of the English “puff.” Tlie Now ProcesH of Mummification, Ft.ov.ence, Italy, June 20, 1808. —Some few months since c tbe French, and Italian papers were full of descriptions of Prof. Marini’s discoveries of the process of mum mification, petrifaction, and. his/ methods for restoring mummified bodies, or portions of the B»me, to their original volume, color and appearance. The English papers pooh poohed the accounts; decided a priori that they must be exaggerated. Our curiosity was aroused, and, availing our-elves of an introduction, we visited the professor in hie modest abode, and spent yesterday afternoon in examining his specimens and itf'-listening to his explanations; and as his labors bid fair -mot only to advance science, to protect Students of anatomy from its attendant dan gers, but also to alleviate human sufferings, we feel no doubt that the subject is one fraught with interest for all classes and all countries. The first specimen the professor showed us was the fbotof an Egyptian mummy,of which he half remained in its ho Other half was restored to its normal • •*■': ... * '’. „ y • f ‘SIZA*,- ' :V>\ y ~' r ‘V/ v Ssplor, form, fflmejrflona and supplaDuSssi ohptting the windjrtwouid Bolding .a candid behind the footiAOi/sea the transparency of iiieriofr,the BjrSfltowsof the hard,-enbatances. pprfiwited by a tlbbon and! healed, with the inscription: “Fied il l'etat sec ’til le 29 Janvier, 1808/.

La maia eat a l'etat sec, C. Sapey;” arid lower down: “Le 25 novembre, 1804. 'Cette jnain a repris sa, flexibility et tous lea carpetCres qu’ elle pre sente il l'etat frdis, C. Sapey.” ~ On. this. hand Nelaton experimented. Hitherto it has been impossible to inject the arterieß with wax or other substances used in anatomical studios, ’on account of the saltß Which form in the arteries themselves, pre served by hitherto known; whereas by Marini’s system a corpse may be injected with the substances necessary to facilitate a peffect study of all the arteries, even after many years of preservation. Considering the number of students who annually lose life or limb in the act of dis secting, if Marini’s system shall denude the corpse of its venom and present a harmless subject >to the student, for this gain alone humanity Will have cause for gratitude. Ac : cording to some of the most cele brated anatomists this point is al ready gained. . f “Where, writes Pro fessor Corrado Tommasi, “Marini has ramhed the Bummit of art in anatomical pregpfauphs, is in the which he obtains the pre servation of animal tissues in a fresh state. Amongliis'preparations he possesses an arm detached in September, 18G4, from a corpse in the JEcole pratique of Paris (bearing the seal .and signature of Professor Sapey), which seems freshly severedfrom the body to which it belonged. rAJI tfch'organs which enter into . the composition of this member —skin, tissue, nerve, muscle,'etc.—have preserved thesize, color, consistency and supplenes s of a fresh corpse not yetyrigid. This arm may be desiceated to-day, and be used for an ana tomical demonstration precisely as it was Xtsed three years since in the Practical School of Paris. \ ‘■‘Nor is.this process~nf'Marini applicable \Boiely to partial fragments of the human form, since he preserved-for an entire year in a fresh state the corpse of Protessor Martini, of Cagliari, previous to petrifying it, and four nipnlhs after death dressed it, and had a pho tograph taken so perfect.and expressive as to delight all those to Mirtini was known. In the experiments performed be fore the commission of the Medical Academy of Florence, Marini arrested the already commenced putrefaction of the corpse of a four-years’ child, restoring to it all the appearance of freshness, which' it still maintains despite the intense heat of last year’s summer. The brain, the spinal marrow, the most delicate tissues of patholo gical formation, are perfectly preserved with all their normal appearance, and apparently forever. A microscopic examination of all these preparations demonstrates that the ele ments of the tissues have suffered no variation of form or dimensions; possibly one observes a Blight opacity, especially where albuminous matters there is no coagulation even of these substance?, no granulous ap pearance in the coilfants of the cellular ele ments or of their derivations.” •»ES* NK The photograph of Professor Martini to which Tommasi alludes I enclose, leaving it to those who see it to say whether it appears to have been taken four months after death, as the sets apd documents of the municipal ity of Cagliari prove beyond all doubt that it was. These two process® of transitory mummi fication, and the preservation of animal tis sues in a fresh Btate,' are obtained, by the im mersion the body in liquid composed of vegetable subßtancesfwhose component parts are M.firini’B secret, jealously kept hitherto, to the displeasure of the medical faculty, who fear that, like Segato, he will take his dis covery with him into the grave. On this point I ventured to question him, and he as sures me that haß no such intention, that he has already declared to the commission of the Medical l Academy of Florence that he will reveal his secret to them, and afterwards to the public as soon as they shall present their re port on the experiments of which they have been witnesses. As usual, Marini has not proved a prophet in his own country. Even as in the case of the brothers Lollini, it was left for the Professors Tardieu and Nelaton to proclaim to the world the excellence of their surgi'cal instruments, and to award them the first-class gold medal at the Paris Industrial Exposition, while Italian surgeons persisted in exaltiDg ttawsuperiority of the Charrif re manufactory, and the Italian Government in supplying the army and navy from the same, so it was to Nelaton and his confreres that Marini had to look for any official recognition of his Wonderful discovery. But a worthier motive than this 1 natural pique keeDs him si lent yet. 'His experience in the substances best adapted to preserve inanimate matter from deeay led Marini to experiment on ani mate matter affected, if we may so express it, by premature decay, by death in life. In the hospital of 8. Maria Nuova, in Flor ence, with the consent of the attendant snry geons, Marini applied his lotion to several patients affected with cancer, ulcer, and similar diseases. In the first place,this lotion was Applied to a foot covered with ulcerated and bleeding sores, or, as the Sperimentalc expresses it, large fungous masses abun dantly sanguineous. The ordinary method adopted by Dr. Rosati and by his predeces sor, Professor Paoli, had not succeeded in bringing about any useful modification of the wound which could point to the hope of cicatrization of the surface. On the con trary, the rapid reappearance of the fungi after their removal pointed<tp the necessity of operation. Marini's liqukf*was tried for a month. Rapid and profound were the modi fications that ensued. At the end of the month two-thirds of the affected parts were cicatrized. Professor Marini absenting him self from Florence, the application was dis cor/tinutd. In a few days the wound broke out afresh, "rization proceed one step. applied, the pa tient has r< i lost during the professor's In the cf lent the liquid produced, ie of time, cica trisation of which had de fied all otl er the quotation of other ca one of which he requested ' te Bociety from whose pre >fe to "watch add examine, I iht he had ap plied the W 3 of his own re lations affit of the tongue ; that said ci proceeded with frightful n iths, and which, ' according is", .co.uld not he extirpated, 'rested by the applicatioi 1.

His preservation of animal food is also a usetul invention; meat desiccated _in one year has begn eaten the next, as his liquid has no smell and no deleterious effects.] ' His petri ficatibns -are the most curious, thotfgh perhaps of least practical utility,of all his” discoveries, as aby animal substance once reduced to a state of petrification cannot be restored to its fresh state as when only mum mified or dried. He showed us petrified livers ofhuman beings and animals, a petrified me dal of Garibaldi's blood,a petrified rabbit,etc., etc.; strike them with a hammer, and they give the ring of stone, and,, like stone, they break into fragments if bit hard enough; but they are not as cold as stone,’and, if you hold a light behind them, they are transparent at the edges. As big. laßt specimen, the Profes sor aocovered a small table standing! ip the middle of the room, which,to all appearances, was made of Florentine mosaic encrusted iu the ordinary cement’ Pointing to the bright red bits, he said: “That is human blood, that bullock’s, that fowl’s. ” Those purple hits are liver:, those,, lights; -those, lungs; that'is bile; . the cement of the whole is human brain.” We. laid oqr hands on this extraordinary conglomeration and found it less cold than marble, 1 but to the touch of the hammer it. gave forth a similar soundi A similar, though far more elaborate, table was presented to the Emperor of,the French, who" was deeply interested in Marini’s dis coveries, which he caused to be thoroughly investigated by Professor Nelaton;’ ,/In Unstable, composed of bloOd, bile, liver, tissues, brain, four human ears are encrusted; in the centre is poised a woman’s foot, which preserves its natural color and transparency, the whole bearing an even and brilliant radish. It has been sent by the Emperor to thqOifila Museum, whence it is to be trans ferred to the Museum bf Natural Hißtory. Ration. What Senator Yates says of General Grant. jffeorge Alfred Townsend has recently had aninterview with Senator Tates, and inter rogated him as to his reminiscences of Grant's military career early in the war, with the fol lowing result: “Grant,” said the Governor, “came down to Springfield dressed in common-working doilies. He looked very much as'he does now, ordinary,taciturn, unpretentious. When be presented himself to rad he said: ’ “ ‘Governor, the United States educated me. 1 want to be of use to her now that she is in dapger.’ yates aEked him what he wished to have: “,‘ADy place where I can be' useful,’ said Grant; ‘it don’t matter much.’” The system at that time was to commission officers who had raised companies. Yams, hurried and overrun,told Grant to look in again. After a few days Grant, whose money had nearly run out paying hotel board, dropped in agaiD, hat In hand, and asked Yuj.es if anything had turned up. “Can you write military orders?” asked the Governor. ' “Yes!” “Well! I’ll give you a desk in my offiee and you'll'find plenty to do.” , “There,” said Yates, “Grant worked away satisfactorily, though my hands were full and everything was more > or less disorganized. I had no time to observe him, and he was never forward to apeak. Afterward I put hiih in > the Adjutant General’s office, and although we did not know it particularly at the time, we have found since that he laid the founda tion there of what is now, probably, the best Adjutant General’s office in the United States. • Before the war it was nothing. Daring all this time Grant was seldom in my mind. I h'ad too much to do to 1 keep personal watch over every officer in the State, and did not look out particularly for the coming man. But Grant made no mistakes, and I saw that his West Point knowledge was.useful to us. “Near by Springfield there was a large ramp, termed Camp Yates, containing twen ty thousand, perhaps. It was a source of annoyance to me. I could not find anybody to,keep the men subject and see that they were made clean, properly fed and taugot the germs of organization; I sent Grant out i there and pretty soon complaint ceased. Then I sent him on a tour to various camps through the State,but still I had no command io give him under the krbitary system of giving only those places who had raised organizations. He went away, at last, to vis(t Covington, Kentucky, where his father lived. I did not tike to see our Illinois boys enter the service of another commonwealth, and I found a chance directly to displace a colonel, or rather to send bim to a different cbmmand, and theil I telegraphed to Grant: “ ‘Will you take command of me —m reg iment ? Answer. Richard Yates.’ “Grant replied : “ ‘I will 1 Start immediately. , ‘U. S. Grant.-’ “He arrived promptly and took the posi tion. . Still, I had no exalted expectations pf ‘'him. He was not a brisk, nervous, attract ive man. Hlb face and figure were not so . staking that any bodj could pick him out of a tioop, like Saul, and he did not say enough tO„ interest me. Out 'of two hundred and ‘ eighty-two, colonels that I commissioned I thought it as probable that two hundred and eighty-one of them would become famous as Grant. i .. ", “He did one thing, however, which I have since thought was significant of his future . good sense and enterprise. His regiment was the most,demoralized one that we had in Illinois. It had, become .insubordinate and. allowed to'go tp seed. Grant started tlii pro cess of breaking it' id: by, compelling it to, march across the: State of Missouri, ana he was the first of our colonels who had econb -1 my and pluck enough to save ns the delay expense of railway transportation in this manner. In' this march he stopped straggling •and orchard-robbing by a device original, gbodHiumored and effective. Ho made every Straggler carry afence-rail in line, and as the march itself 'was tolerably laborious, the fence-rail did its Work. He made a flue .fighting regiment of those men.” <■ After speaking on, many other trivial'mat ters, Gov. Yates said, in conclusion: “Gero worshipDers will be disappointed In Grant. I don’t take it to be any stolidness of mine that failed to perceive genius in him. 1 ‘ Nobody else did. His genius is not ostenta tious not dramatic. It is the geniusof accom plishment that, he has. When his work is done, there it is, done; and there is the man, except for the work,* ordinary as before. I don’t make up for this error of perception by : visiting the General twice as much now as 'before; but in the light of his achievements I feel the same'confidence, .and satisfaction in ■ him , that all the people feel The Democrats feal it too; he has no enemies ip our State but .pdlitfcttl ones, and one or two personal ones, like McClernancL We will elect him with 1 eaße.” limAIL IIHV ' r I, «... i. . ... i 1 WfeW.slipßlßi- sW&dIK. \ ImporterjmdjPealejtljh ' i;.- LINE® MID!

[Correspondence 61 the San FrancUco Bulletin.] Steamship Nevada, or-r tub Coast or Guate mala, June 3, 1868 —This morning we were favored with an extraordinary phenomenon, such as has been rareljMVitnessed in any latitade or in any ocean, exciting the commingled admlratloh, fear and astonishment of all. hands on board. TVlthin the' brief epace of an hour, between eight and nine o’clock, no 1 less than three large water spouts were visible from the ship's decs, all near enough to arouse dread apprehensions as to the possible consequences. One of them, the most formidable, made directly toward the vessel, moving from the west toward the sun, and appa rently leaving no chance for the escape of the' eirip except by changing our course, which was done ’ without loss of time. Another- fol lowed directly in our wake at about the same ' speed as we moved,' and Only say a quarter^, of a mile behind, tor a time leaving it altogether problematical which would win the race. While this question was pending, as may bo readily Imagined, the mind of every person on board, not excepting even veteran officers, remained in painlul suspense. No precaution was neglected -which tended to insure the general safety. As a' primary movement, the big gun was got In readi ness to attack the strange visitor, should It ap proach too hear, hoping to break the suspended column ol water while yet at a thereby avert the threatened deluge. The scientific wbrld, equally with your readers, may like a description more In detail, as the phe nomenon may well be ranked among the iatest of modern wonders. Avoiding technical phrase ology, X will premise as follows: ' \ * This morning, June 3d—tut. 13 50 N., lon. 91 o? N W., air 86 deg., barometer 27 79—while the sun -was partially obscured by considerable masses of showery clouds, two water spouts were seen some two and a half or three miles due west, the ship’s course being we6t northwest. They seemed ■slowly to approach the vessel, the water beneath them being in great commotion, partly from at- . mospheric disturbance, and in part from the fes tive gambols of an enormous school of porpoises,e -which appeared to have-chosen this arena for their exploits. A heavy, dark shadow rested over the surface of the water, except In the com paratively small Bpaco at .the .terminus of the spont, which for i convenience might be called a huge eea serpent suspended between earth and heaven. At this point of contact, at the base of the column, the spectacle of a seeth ing cauldron, or ,a section of the “cave of the \ 1 winds” at Niagara, clouds of vapor being drawn ■ upward with tprrific violence. Above rested a heavy penumbra of dark cloud, moving slug gishly, until, at last, after an interval of fifteen or twenty minutes, the serpentine column, at first -upright and rigid, could hold together no longer, so oblique was the angle of Inclination, and the whole fabric suddenly vanished from sight. The companion spont was separated only by a short distance, but was of less magnitude and disap peared almost simultaneously, after perforating evolutions corresponding with.thoße already de ecribcd; and where lately : the sea foamed with Tage, calm now succeeded, with nothing-to mark the spot except swarms of gulls, attracted It may be, by carcasses, of dead fish, ~ „ The temporary alarin bh'shlpboard Immediately subsided, and conversation relating to this extra ordinary Bptctacle was "beginning to flag, when , your correspondent observed a small pear-shaped cloud forming overhead, of a whitish ashen color, and watching,carefully- through a glass, noticed v presently that the stem began slowly- to drob'or ' • ■ elongate, At the tinge—as,testified to by several ■ witnesses—there was no perceptible disturbance ' ' of tho water beneatjjj but within five min ' utes .light _ feathers of spray began to fly from tire »crest of the waves ,at a dis tancojiftrhxceeding 1;000 ydffls, which'might caSily have bcen mistaken for ftio? splash of a ,por poise or the blow of a and alinost.Tlmme diately upward and descending funnels of vapor, the latter very dark, met in mid-air, form ing a close connection, the shape beinfe’serpen tine as before, attended by a gontly undulating nSovement .from" one. extremity to the other.

And whaV ever may be the opinions of others on this sub ject, it is at least true of Captain Kelley that he came so near going “up a spout” or down—it Is immaterial which—that he has no desire to try it again. In regard to a controverted topic I desire, in this ’pla.ee, only to’fjuole the authority of Prof. Brock lcsby of-Trlnity College, Hartford, Ct., who says of waterspouts: ‘‘The torrents of rain, by which this phenomenon, is”oftcn accompanied can be accounted for by the rapid condensation of vapor tlffit ocenfs wfiTnrtbewarmbutnid air of the sea flows inward to the vortex,of the whirl, and these ' combine with the cold ntr of Ihe'upper regions of the atmosphere which! descends to, fill the partial - vdtq.” w is ‘ somewhat opposed .to- thq ‘commonly) accepted, theory that ' the heavy Volumes of wafer which fall from spouts inre originally dra.wn, qp from the sea by tho rotary motion of a whirlfvlnd, in obe dience to the law that , nature abhors a vacuum.

Prince Borghese, one'of the princi pal proprietors in that district, still manages to go to and from his villa between Porto D'Anzio" and‘Nettuno without the risk of being stopped in the long and dreary forest drive between Cecchina and the sea. The prince makes nse of a small steam yacht, which he recently purchased from a Russian nobleman, aßd so be gets snugly and safely down to FiUmieino, and then, coasts along to Porto D’Anzio. thus eluding tbe predatory plots and plans of brigands in ambuscade. Hitherto these scoundrels limited their operations to country districts, but we have lately had an instance of their actnaliy venturing into a large town for the .purpose of carrying off some of the principal inhabitants On the night of the 31st ult., seven armed brigands entered Vel letri, chief town of the province, and strongly garrisoned, and stopping an individual they encountered in the street, ordered him, under immediate penalty of death, to indicate to them the residence of some rich Instead pf becoming their guidd then .and’ there, the person, under a plausible pretext, deferred doing so until the following night, when he engaged to conduct them to a very profitable adventure. But whether' he revealed the appoint ment Or not, the mavi-esoidllo of gendarmes, Rotti, got to bear of it, and discovering the place.and tbe.liour went there with.a detach ment of his men under Captain CapaUna, and succeeded in arresting six of the brigands, all of whom were natives of Cassaldieri, in tbe quondam Neapolitan territory. This coup de main has greatly delighted the lnhabi tanta of Yelletri: whose vineyards Mid casini, even just outside'-the walls of the town, 1 had lately become unsafe places to visit. A. Ye All’s Casualties at -Sea. The statistical committee of Lloyd’s have pub lished an analysis of wrecks and casualties during the year 18G7 as compared with 1866. It results from’-their returns that the total number of casualties last year was 12,513, against .ll,7ll in 1860. The total losses were 2,343, of which 105 were steamers, in 1867, against 2,234, of which 115 were steamers, in 1866. The cases in which the cargo was entirely lost numbered 1,168 last year, and 1,946 in 1866. The loss of life in 1867' con trasts .very favorably with that of the year preceding, the total being only 1,346, against 2,644 in 186 G. The committee, how ever, observe that the. returns on this bead are still most imperfect, the actual number being in excess of that 'given in various ta bles. The month in which the fewest losses have qccurred for the past ten years is July, the heaviest being November. • An elaborate geographical summary of the wrecks ani casualties, arranged according to the voyage performed,show that of the entire list oflocal losses, numbering last year 2,343,20 per cent, occurred in the fjritish islands; while of the other-sections, the heaviest—that which in cluded the Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia— contributed only 3 per cent. The Cape colo nies, the Persian Gulf, Australia, Polynesia, California , and Greenland appear to have been almost blanks as regards total wrecks of foreign going ships in 1867, although they supplied a few cases of constructive loss. In the British islands the number of vessels raised last-year, after sinking, was 32, and in the rest of the world only 20. There were five cases tof loss from piracy in 1867, and is in the year preceding. g BALTIMORE IMPROVED BABEBUENIN G FIBE-PMCE HEATER MAGAZINE Aim IL'IiXTHI37AT IH B DOOR 8. , The most Cheerful and Perfect "Heater In Use.
