      The master of the Mar ; Anne , of Glasgow , commusicates the following to the editor of a Glasgow paper : — . .. .. Sir , — -I have Just reached this port on a voyage fr « m Malta and Ltibon , and my atttntien having been called to a report relative to an animal Been by the matter and crewof H . M . S .

The mate told ma that when in lat . 411 S ., long . 10 . 15 , E ., ™ pa ^ * ™ cr til tj ' p h s „

      wind dead aortb , npon the 20 taof September a mjst extraordinary animal had bean seen . From his , desoriptlon it had tbe app'araic * of a huge serpent or snak » , with a dragon ' s h * ad . Immediately npon its bsiog seen , one of the deck guns Was brought to bear npon ' it , which having been charged with spike nails and whatever other pieces of iroa could be got at the moment , was discharged at tbe animal , then distant only about forty yards from the ship ; it immediately reared its headia the air , and plunged violently with his body , showing evidently that th caarge had taken efJict . The Daphne was to leeward at the . time , but wore about on the starboard tack and stood towards the bruie , which was seen fuming ani lashing the water at a fearful rate . Upon the bilg neiringjhowevst , It disappeared ; and though e « 0 j y t , . , * t

      evidently wounded , maia rapidly off at the rate of between fifteen aid sixteen knots an hoar , was judged from its BDpeuir-e several times npaa the it * face . The Daphne pursue ! for some time , but the night coming on the master was obliged to put about and continue his voyage . From the description given by' the mate , the brute mast have been nearly 101 feet long , and his ac ; count of it agrees in every respect with that lately , for . warded to the Admiralty by the master of the Dalalus . The packet of letters to Boston , I have no doubt , contain the fall particulars , which I suppose will be made public .

      death , and who had been for ' m ' iny year ' B before ' oofi . neoted with the family . From this servant the . senous charges against Mrs Smith ( or Parsons ) have arisen .

Peck and Fernie , surgeons , of KimboltoB , and Mr Poster , ' of Huntingdon , 'for the purpose of a post mortem examination .

      suffocating him ; his handB were tied together with a stout twine , and a cord was passed aoroaa his body , from one side of the bed to the other ; completely tying him down .
