People have been busy, silica the subsidence of the storm, in saving goods from :he vessels stranded during the tempest. Bootle Hay has, for several days, been crowded with revenue officers, porters carters, with their lorries, unloading the Oxford. and other ves eels wrecked there. "Flats and other crafts have proceeded to the wracks on the Banks, to- the pur pose of bringing up as much of the cargoes as can be saved.

SCOTL IND. Gretna Green.—The follipaing description of tins once famous place for manufacturing runaway mar riages. may lionise some of our readers. The palmy days of Gretna were the middle of last cen. eq. : and up till some ton or-a dozen years back, when persecuted votaries of Hymen began to nod their Way .to other points on the Stotish border, where marriages in the fast and looae style, could be performed with equal facility. These are over— the gliiry of Gretna has beeoute dimmed, and mue•h of its occupation gone, through the operation of -Supciititendant Registrars," and "Licensed places for celebrating marriages." Gretna Green is of itself an insignificant little' village. nine miles from Carlisle; on the mail route to Glitagoka. and not more than one mile from the bridge of 6tiark, which joins the two countries. It is composed of a few houses, which might easily be enumerated one by one in a singles breath. - You have the parish church, a simple and Unassuming little pile by the road side, and near it a manse, o‘ residence of the clergyman; then the parish-school, andunder the same roof with it.,•the sebraul.inasier's neat, unadorned, and modest dwelling vnext a farm house'. and small 'incensed depotof tea, tobacco, and snuff, a cottage or two, and a carpenter's workshop, and lastly an inn and, posting huuse.

In iti immediate vicinity, you have, it ia,true, the valley of the &Ca, with its luxurant•wood and crystal river.

Having been prevented attending at the opening of a fungus pit in the Anti-Dry-Het Company a Yard, David street,, nit Weducially Last, we take the following aecotint boil the Arimeheeler ehrum cle of 6aturday : ••Aininiest the articles placed in theapit 7th, 1id37,1 were various kinds of timber in thin &sada prep:Wid w nth the anu-dry -rut soluoue, ropes, twine, sacking, and canvass; and articles in an• unprepared state, but corresponding in every other respect with those which were prepared, were also deposited therein, in order that the action of the anti-shy-rot process might be the inure satisfactorily shown.- - The pit was clewed. in the presence of several gentle men who signed a certificate to that effect, and the key of the pude k by which it was secured was placed in the heeds of Mr. Hiwkshaw, of the Bol ton Railway. On Wednesday last, the 7ditinstant, the pit was opened in the presence of a numerous body of 'gentlemen, amongst whom were Samuel Evans. E4q., the Ixtroughreeve, George Wood, Esq., and J. Woullain, Esq.. the constables of the town, several eminent architects and builders, including Mr. D. Dellhouse, jun , Mr. T. W. Atkinson, Mr. Tattersall, Mr. Welt's, and Mr. Edwards, and many gentlemen who felt interested in the success of the eiperirni ut. It may be neces.ruy to state, perhaps, that the bottom of the pit was thickly strewn with pieces of wood, which the dry-rot hail .reduced to a state of decomposdion, and every facility was given, in the manner in which the articles were deposited, for commuidcating the infection to the prepared as well as to the unprepared. The result, we are hap py to say, was quite as successful as could have been anticipated to the parties who made the experiment. With respect to the timber, which consists of spruce deal, soft Anierietin elm, poplar, American ash, A merican birch, and American oak, the boards which had been subnutted to the Kyanising process wei found to be perfectly sound and untainted, while those which were unprepared exhibited in various degrees the•progress of the disease, The American oak, in particular, afforded most satisfactory proof that the valor of the process has not been overated. Theeprepared plank was of a fine dark colour, with out the slightest sy inptom of decay. while the un prepared was rotting away must rapidly. A piece of very coarse wrapper, such' as is used for nail-bags, was reduced to a state of decomposition, while the rorreeponding piece. which hail been Kyanised, was sound in every part except at the edges, where it is supposed it had not been prope.ly situneed. An other specimen of wrapping; and some soft park ing -rope, unprepared, were completely decayed, while corresponding pieces were us sound and perfect as on the day they were put into the pit.— Two balls of thin twine exhibited the effects of the principle perhaps more forcibly tnan any of the other articles, the unprepared being reduced to a lump of manure filled with small red worms; while that which had been prepared was perfectly sound, and appar ently stronger than ever. The only point in which the expeninent could be suspected of having failed was in the case of a very thick piece of rope, which was decayed at the ends, although it had been im mersed in the tank ; on inquiry, however,' we find that the rope was merely dipped in the solution, and not natured as it ought to have been; and therefore, the experiment, so far as this is concerned, cannot be considered a fair one. .1t was objected by one of the architects who wit nessed the opening of the 'pit, that the pieces of tim ber were not large enough to test the preparation, and he expressed some doubts as to the impossibili ty of saturating a biro beam. The answer to this objection, we think, is easy ; the object of the ex periment-was to ascertain whether Kyanised timber is capable of resisting' the infection of dry -rot, and whether the piece used be large or email, appears to us to be mute immaterhil. It is a fset proved beyond, the possibility of doubt, that timber, of any thickness, may be saturated with the solution; hut the nee of thick timber -in an experiment like this could not have produced satisfactory results, unless the pit hail been allowed to remain closed for two or three year*. The doubt, however, will nowebe most effectually met by another experiment. The timber taken out of the pit was again replaced in it yesteiday, togeth er with some pieces of a thicker description, an some bleached calico, and it will not be opened again until twelve months 'havilAcepired. We had ai med forgotten to mention, that an old silk handker- chief, which was put into the'pit, after being dipped, in the solution, was found to be unimpaired, not on ly in texture, but itt colour."—Mining Journal. Probable dandies; of English Coal Bede In the firth edition of Mr. Bakewell's /n/roduc lion to Geology, kid published. there are some re. marks on the demotion of English coal. iq addition' to the,observations made in the former editions of the work, which were quoted in evidence given on the subject in a committee of the House of Com mons. Afteanoticing the report of the committee, which estimated the annual consumption of coal in Great Britain at twenty-two millions seven huriti'ed thousand tons, Mr. Bakewell proceeds to Olwierie . "The increasing deuitual for coal in the iron for mica, and forsteam navigation and steam ealWagcs, will probable soon raise the quantity- of coal annual -43r. consuaredto.thirty IM tons: Without ad ding to this ten million.

A bettei idea of the teinsunttu tion of coal will. perhaps, be , fanned by stating the quantity of coal burned in thg,flureedis of ontehouse only (Messrs. Guest, of Myrthey' Veiled, ill Main organshire„) which is 970 tons per day, ar - 100,000 tens yearly ; the amount of ire* produced is 50,000 tons. This is a larger , quantity of lam than was Inaeleby ell the fertiacia; in r theirt Britain and Wales iti the year 1700. andirvettl , dAhe qtrurfity of iron at preseht mule in Sentkied,:tvhich- in 1827 w as only 311,500 tons. Surely when such en immense quantity df.coal is retpirrsi fur- demestie use and manufactures, it cannot he *rise to entourage, or. even to admit\ the t 'expart of coal to foreign pans: The coal so exported, exclusive of that toireland and the colonies, is 500,000 tone annually. The duty on exported coal was entirely taken off in 1835, to,satitify the emit landed proprietors in the north of England. I have before stated that the coal in Northumberlaud and Durham would at the present rate of consumption be exhausted in 350 rears. Ad agent of one of the northern proprietors, in his ev idence before the House , ot 14 minions, extended the duration of the northern coal fields to 1,727 years. estimating that there remained 732 square miles of coal in Northumberltted and Durham still tin e rought, awl that, thet‘erage thickness of the• cpal is tucker feet. In this calculation it sertuttet4 bye been assumed that each workable bed.of coal eitetels under the whole coal field, but man) of the best and thickest beds of coal crop out long before they reach the w e stern termination of the coal diatrkts, or are cut off by faults or dentidattons. : P'retfissor Buck land, iu his evidence on -the su/ljort, estimates the duration of the coal at the preseht rate of consump tion to be 400 years. Professor Stalgysick, aho is well acquainted with the coalStnita of Northumber- land and Durham, had eternities] persons of great experience. gave his opinion respecting the duration of the coal in these counties , as follows :---.1 am my self convinced that with the' present increased and increasing demand of ceid,'4oo - years will Untie little more than the name of our beet coal seams; and he further adds, ' , our northern coal field will probable to on the wane behle 300 years have elapsed.' ''• Mr. Bakewell concludes his remarks on this aus - by ohserving that his former anticipations, that improved methods of burnitig coal would be disros - cued, have been realized tort great extent; in proof of which he alludes to stateineots nit.de at - the last meeting of the British Association at Live/11501, of the use of the cubit or -dry coals of South Wales, by employing the hot blast, -in surfeiting ironstone, which coal it had formerly been *tempted to- use for that' purpose without success. .'lf," cohtinues Mr. Bekevrell, "the use of the hot blast is found ev s ery where tosuceeed, the consumption of coal in the iron furnace will be tedueed-one hnif. It may, how ever he doubted whether this reduction will equal the increasing demand for coal for steam-vessels and rail-road carriages, and the various manufactures of Great Britain."—Farmer's Meg.

A KNE Y It is scarcely .necessary to inform our readers that I the Killarney lake's are three in number, and di stn- • gutotted as the lower, middle and upper lakes. Each of these presents a character of scenery totally unctfrom the others. Tile lower one, which is stud ded with rocks, wooded islands, coverett•vb ith a va• risky of evergreens, is chiefly distinguished for its ele gance and beauty—the: upper one, which is the sub-, jest of our engraving, for its wild isublimity and gran deur. The middle lakerombines, in a great degree, the cleiraewristies of the other two. It is not our in tention in the present number to enter on a descrip. live sketch of this enchanting , region, to which we shall haye frequent opportunities, of returning. We prefer indulging our readers' taste forlegendery lore, by presenting them with the Wowing beautiful tra- , dition, as told by an accomplished Englishman, Mr., T. H. Bayley, author of so many delightful lyrics: There was once van a time, near the western coxed of Ireland, a romantic valley inhabited by a few peas antic a hose rude cabinrwere surrounded by the most lux 'anent trees, Ind sheltered by mountains lising almost perpendicularly on esreryside. • Ireland has still many green vides, but there is not one so deeply, so securely matted •among the hills, as the one of which we speak. Add the depth of the deepest of these lakes to the height of the loftiest mountain that timers above us and you may /den, form some idea of tihedoep seclusion of this forgotton valley. .„ Nash was the prettiest girtin the little village.
