Experiment, however has cvei turned many a plausible theory; and so it did in the present instance.

Jn the latter we learn li.ere were thirty noiesoflhe United States' Branch bank at JNew-Orlean? for one thousand iloLrs each, and seven thousand dollars of the bank ol the Slate of Mississippi The Public would do well to be on their guard when 9uch paper is ofiered by persons under suspicious circumstances.

Henry Gambles, master, owned at Newcastle, frorn Londonderry, bound to Quebec, with 285 passengers, and a crew of 15 person, sailed on the 4th of June from Londonderry nothing occurred until the night of the 1 9th of July, when at 1 2 o'clock, one of the seamen called out from ihe forecastle that there were rocks on the lee now. Instantly all was confusion on board those below ru-hed upon deck an a'tempt was made to tiick the ship, but the wind was so light, and the ground swell so great, that it failed the ship backed on the rocks, and in less thau ten minutes, was completely broken up. A scene of the must harrowing description then took place. Three hundred human beings were strug glmg for existence. The boats, tilled with people, v.eie upset in the surf, and the few saved, the captain, mate, 3 seamen, and 27 passengers, clung to part of the wreck, or were fortunately cast by the waves on some cliffs.

COEEEE. The general etTcct of coffee upon the nervous coaU of the stomach, is unquestionably

a gentle stimulant ; and as most substances of (hat class have to a certain extent a tonic power, it may be safely recommended to individuals whose powers of digestion have been debilitated by stimulants of a more pow erful character, such as fermented liquors, wine, spirit, Sec. The custom of taking coffee after dinner, and just before retirement to rest, is bad; because its stimulant property on the nerves of the stomach exerts a power destructive to sleep; it promotes an activity of the mind, and gives a range lo the imagination, which prevcntsself-forgetfulness, that
