In his monthly contribution to the ‘ European MaU, “ Anglo-Australian ” gives an account of the BaiJmg of the ship Earl of Dalhousie from Loudon to Adelaide with immigrants, and describes a “ new patented introduced for the first time, in berthing the married people. From the description given, it is evident that the plan is elaborate and ingenious ; but, as the writer says, “it is almost impossible to convey a clear idea of the arrangements without the aid of a plan and sections ; hut we may add that the object sought seems perfectly attained b y the new arrangement—viz., that each couple snaH have a dressing and mess compartment communicating with their berth, the whole accommodate, 011 in each case being perfectly separate from the remainder of the passengers, thus insuring thorough privacy, and this without adding to the space already allowed. The Earl of Dalhousie is the first Ship fitted in this way.” We are delighted to hear tbat so decided a step has been made in the above direction, and hope that if the new system proves a practical success, it will be adopted in all immigrant ships trading to the Colonies.

Those on hoard endeavored to secure the snark with a harpoon, with which he was struck three times, but each time got away. The last time the shark became so infuriated, doubtless through the loss of blood, that he went away a distance of a quarter of a-mile, turned and ran at the vessel with au its strength, striking heron the port bow with rsr, forco that (beingonly in ballast trim) she heeled over. The shark at the time seemed stunned M it lay on the top of the water for some minutes, out a breeze at the time springing up, those on board were not able to catch him.
