A species of coal was found in abundance, which burnt very well, 
a specimen of which we have seen, thus affording the means, if 
wanted, of replenishing the fuel. The rise and fall of the tide is 
about twelve feet. Shrimps and penguins are beyond all concep- 
tion numerous. The islands, headlands, &c. have been named, 
and the observations ascertaining the latitude and longitude, from 
repeated experiments, found true; so that we may soon hope to 
see a correct chart, from the surveys which have been taken, on 
the arrival of Captain Smith, in the Blythe, who is shortly ex- 
pected.—Part of an atichor-stock, evidently Spanish, being bolted 
with copper, and bearing certain marks, was found on shore, and 
is presumed to be the only vestige now remaining of a 74-gun 
ship of that nation, which sailed from Spain, bound to Lima, 
about eighteen months or two years ago, and has not since been 
heard of.

SUBMERSION OF THE VILLAGE OF STRON, IN BOHEMIA. 
As reported in a Letter from M. Winkler. 
The village of Stron, in the estate of Fermian, in Bohemia, 
was situated on a decliyity, in the N.E. of the valley of Eger, 
about a league above Saatz, partly near the river, and partly in a

border to this gorge, were the church and parsonage-house, and
