Relics of Captain Cook.

Relics of Captain Cook, the great English navigator, have been discovered at St Petersburg. The relics were given to the governor of Kams-

■ chatka, Honolulu, by Captain Cook's party after the death of Cook. These relics were sent by the governor to St. Petersburg, where they remained until two or three years ago, when the boxes containing them were opened, but no one knew where they came from. Luckily a professor In Bt. Peters university, who had been at Honolulu. recognized them. The relics are very choice, although there Is nothing new amongst them except a black feather helmet, which la a rare curl osity.
