Thanks to the good management of Lt.
Lynch, tho whole cost of this scientific
exploration or the Dead Sea was but sev
en hundred-«donors. V
From the letters oi Lieut. Lynch. quo-‘
ted by Lieut. Maury. we transcribe the
lollowing interesting facts elicited by thel
exploration : ‘ j
The bottom ol the Northern half of this
sea is almost an entire plain. [ta merrid
innul lines at n short distance (mm the
shore éctirt‘e vary in depth. The deepeat
sounding». thus tar 188 lathouts. (1128

eroll an incrustation ol salt, but the inter
mediate one Is Holt mud with many rec
tangular crystalr—mostly cubes—of pou
salt. At onetime Stellwaget’u lead bro’t
up nothing: but cry-tale.
"The Southern hall of the sen is no shal
low as the Northern one is deep. and (or
untiourlh of itn entire length the depth
does not exceed three fathoms. (18 lcet.)
lta Southern bed ltnit presented no crys

Uz'lmo. in the space ol an hour our loot
prrnts were coated with Ct'ySlhllZßllOll.

the result ol its survey will tnlly sustain
the scriptural account at the cities of the

The loss of life is not so great as it was
represented yesterday morning. Several
persons adult. and four or five children,
who were missing, were discovered, much
to the gratification of their relatives and
frtends; but one fireman belonaing to this
city was killed. in consequence of the en
gine to which he was attached running over
him. and another fell or slipped from one
of the ferry boats. and was drowned.
The appearance of the city this morn
ing, in the neighborhood of the conflagra
tion. (says the N. I’. Harold.) would melt
the heart of any one. ’I he churches and
church-yards were filled with furniture,
embracing every household article. from s
tea-pot to a sofa—from n child’s chair to a
massive bureau. The streets were covered
with broken glass, legs of, chairs & tables,

ked with carpets, mattresses. feather beds.
. and crockery. 'l‘he suflerers were search-1

escaped destruction.
