States, when some aflfiirs of importance re qimred my spee.ly appearance in Italy. I engaged a passage in a vessel which was aoult to Riil freom Charleston, laden witi Cotton, ror Marseilles. The ship was conainded by Capt. S., who was also the owner of the4 enrgo. Without any note-worthy occurence, we had arrived within a few days' sail of the c0nis of Spain, when we spoke a ship which hal just come from Marseilles; the vessels exelangel the latest pnpers of their respec tive Countries, used went on nanini in their several courses. When the French papers were opeied within our schip. our captain read with unetxpeCte'd delight. that so siall was tIhe sUp)ly of cotton in the nauket, and so strang the demand for it, that the next vesse'l that arrived with a frcighat ofit, mnight cointld almost tiny price whichi the ava rice l the owner should dictate. The cap tain perce'ived that lie might, pretty certain ly. relize a splendid foinue; a considera lion which filled himl with the most enthu smnstic joy. .very Sail was expanded to the wind, and we advanced with the great e"t rapidlily. On the' following morning a light was descried apparently directly in the course which we were makinig; as we proceeded briskly, however, it 1ell to the south of us, I iad we perceived that it was a ship on fire. lhe light increawed every moment, and the I signal gtuns fell upon our cars with distress- I ing ra pitlity. The captain was at this time i Paing the (leck, as lie had dtonle almost I consiaily since the intelligenrce had reach ed linm from the passiitg vessel; for the < restl..,smess of expectalion scarcely allowed h, im to repose, flor i isoment. Ilii eye was lirere'd resolttely towar-l the niorth, and althouig he' light non glared unshunable, and tle fretaeur shots could inot he uithard, i and the commot ion anid exclaiations of the pass-ngers cotld not he imnotteed---his glainces never fel iIupon the object which engiiss'eLd aill others. After a ti-w moinetats of intense wonder I and excitement among the passengers and I crew at liesilence of' theeaptain. the steers- t man called to iam and asked i' we should J tot turn out to the distressed vessel; but the ruely ordred i to solicitation of the whole coipantiny on board, I wenit till to the captain aud said to him that I deemed it nmy duty to inform him that ihe universal desire of the crew was that relief shou d lie given to the burning ship. lie replie'd with a1gitationa that the vessel I could not Ie saveel, ialil should only lose the n% ind ; anid inteidiately went tow to tie clIin and loc'ked tlie dour. He was a kind hearied man by nature, and oi ordinary occasions feiw% woutll have takcn greater trotlelmr to bIenaefilr a fellow beintg. But tle proelac of riche- was too much for his vir tue: the hope of' great gain devoured all the I better feclings of his nature, and made his heart as hard as stone. The crew, ini this condition of things, hail niotlitig to do iaut to lament the master's cruelty, aid submit to it. They watched the4 liery mis, conscious that a large com lian of their biathiern was perishing within their siltli, who, by their efrorts, tight probialay lie sur ed. It wits not for several , liurs that the clitain appeared again upont toe deck. al from ihis appearance then, I i:giite that a he coanflict during this solitude iurist h:ve been severc and trying. I stood e u hn as lie catme i). Ilis face had a igid, yet arious look; tle couantenatace of a man wiho baved, vet feared somie shock. Ilis bjac'k was turneid toa the qlnarter from %n I'elh we caie, :and1 iU that position lie ad dlressedt meit calmn'lv some inliflerent obtserva tions. While the conversation went on, lie cast ftalieasent hurried glances to the seouth aind easI, till his eves had swept the whole horizou. and lie l:nl satisfied himself the ship was no loeret' inl view When we eelied our dest ination, I found a ship jist prat'frinug to sail liar lorenee. anda I tooak tiy passage, leaving tfie capataini tea dispose of' his carge, at his pleasure. Abaoat eight aioenihs after' this, wheat I had ralriost foargotteni the occt'turee. I was sit titag ini the priv"ate panrlor eaf at Lotidon hotel, when a letter wias putt itato mny hiatnds rom Ciapt.

M. ship--..My beurcrt beat und my frame shivered ut ? read every n ord of tie article. The vessel which I had passed the duy before had seen the light from a great distanee annd immntedi Itely rut back to render aissist 'ance, but ar rived too late to rescue moro than two or the crew. They reported that a vessel passed to the north of them within half an hour's sail, but paid no regard to the repea teil .nals ; upon the corn mmander' o tal t ship, thne article concinded, must rest the loss of two hundred persons. Aly peace of mind was gone forever. Wherever I went that day, I was haunted 4y remorse. I retired to bed that I mnigtn rorget in sleep the tort tires of the day ; hut a1 terrible dream brought belbre ity ind tihe whole scene of the con flagraeion, wii h a roar f sngual guns. I awoke with horror. rhrice on the same night did I compose ,nyscit tosleep, anl thrice was I awakened by tie repetition of the drenn. For many nurs ott tihc succeeling day my spirits were thockingly depressed, but life gav conpany which 1. frequented gralually restoredi mtfe Q serenity, and by night I was tolerabiv :oaposed. But the evening again brouglnt error; the sanie vision rushed upon mvy nind ani racked it with agony wheneverl I 1el1 into a slunber. Pereciviinng that it I rielded to this band of tortnentors I shouhl inickly be maddened by sull'ering, I resilvedl o struggle with remorse, and to hard .en tiy eart against conscience. I succeedied al vays when awake, in mastering the VImtU :on, but no powert otn earth coull slnield ne from nine tornents of sleepn. Inin-iniog it length that tie prostrate posi:ion of my >eds was one cause of the vividness of my% Ireams, I took the resolution of slteepin'r npright in a chair while ny servant watched >y Inc. But no sooner dfl finy head drops Ipnn my breast in incipiennt sliunner, thaln Ine fire again tortured my brain; the om1in1 runS again rang npon mny ear.

Mammoth IBone.-In the exeavatioi of j tie Brunswick mid Alatamiaha Canal,theire t has been discovered, about live Mailes frOmla t this place, a large deposite of hoie' of x. j traordimiry size, and in a reiairkable state of preservation. Several vertebra',of eight inehes in transverse diameter, have been discovered. Teeth, inl which the to,) is 9 inches in the longer diameter, and 5 inatees inl breadth, anid about as large as a niau's hat, have also been excavated. Th t were evidently of* a molar character. There have beet fonnd also smaller teeth of' itore solid structture, wviti pointed crowns, and apparetly belonging to (omne Carnivorous aninal. Porions of l:re tusks l:ve also been excavated, of the perfect striututtre of ivory. These last wereamuch eriiihiled, but to judge by the size oft the circles inark ed in the ivory, the original diameter of tlif tusks could not have been less than ten or twelve imehies. It is probable tat tire priii Cipal deposite of bone- has scarcely been reached as yet, though1 several Car ll1ad s have been excavated, all that have vet been discoveied were wilihin six feet oftie sur face. They lie mostly rnhebledded in a blue clay. Thus far they have not been fin covered with care. and ni notes have becn taken of the relative positions in whichi the diflerent species of* bones have been brund. hi ftture the excavations will procced with the attention die to the discovery of such curiosities. We believe they are the fir.t of the kind that have been found in Georgia. Specimens will bo forwarded to $ Scientifie Soeieties, and we wait tho result of their examination with great interest.

The color near the ship was of a dead white; this brightened as it rceeded from the ship tin til, towards the horizon, it became a silvery hue. No horizon was however, visible, but the white color seened to ascend tonsards the zenith, becoming constatuly more hril lianti and dazzling so as to obscure the stars which had been befere fully visible. The sea becatie quite siouth, anid the ship per fectly steady, as though in a ealm, nor could any appearance oi'her cnt tinig tlirotglh the water be discerned: notwith-istandin which, the wind still coniitnued to blov., and the ship to advar:ee as rapidly as eL tore. The water when taken utp in a bitel: did not difrer from the ordinary sea wate ; it became phosphort scelit oi heiui :atituted but not more so tlan usual; no phosphoreb cence was visible in tie sea itself', being, most probably overcome by tie color of t ie water.
