The Cargoes of Vie Wrecked- Vessels. 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. The etirgil'uf the St. Andrew will, we be
lieve, be-landed in bi4t,r coedittori than could rea
sonably have been expected. The woolen goods
-will be quite spoiled, out those of silk and cotton,
though damaged, will be in tolerable condition.—
As the hull of the Pennsylvania has, from the first,
been under water nit flood tide, her cargo is, of
•ciurse, very seriouilly damaged, whilst no small
quantity of-it has beio plundered by the wreckers
whoselected this file ship as their special prey.--
We are assured, th t the value nf the cargoes on
board the St. Andreiw and the Penusyluarita was
not less than £400,U 0, and might reach 300,000.
The Crusader's car o is valued is from L'60,000 to

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. The inn was
formerly the residence of Colonel Msxartall, to whom
the property 'oelongs. The reasons whicb have placed
Gretna, Green amongst the roost famous of British
villages, are not to be'disCovsered setts architectural
merits, or in its eminerice•of vuralecenery. In iti
immediate vicinity, you have, it ia,true, the valley
of the &Ca, with its luxurant•wood and crystal river.
(in the banks of the same stream lies the wholes.
scene of Sir Walter Scott's "Young Lochinvar."
and indeed the poet could nut have'chosen a spot in
'every respect more aroupriate than tins for a "run
away marriage," sn as to cause
"Mounting 'mong Gnomes of the Netherby elan."
or more convenient fur • •
"Rscrig and chasing on Canobie
'rho' the lust bride of Netherby ne'er could they seer"
Amidst • all this magnificence, however, of local
scenery, yno may bus in vain fur the pert whicit the
village of Gretna Green contribute's . to render itself
worthy of a name. • Some ratter roalluiust lead the
monster to the discovery of the metre!.

Krin'a Patent fur Preveaing bry-Rot.
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

ding to this ten million. I . 7tOttll ' fOr coal left ADO

wasted in the mines. 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.

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.
