A Briti'h officer now in this cntirtry asserts in a com- 

 munication pubUshfd in a southern paper, that the .4- j 

 merican ship of the line North C'aroUna, rated at 74 

 g;uns, can throw a heavier weij;ht of shot at a broad- 

 side tlian any other ship in the world. The Hrilish 

 ship Lord Nelson, rated at I'iO guns, and carrying Vid 

 he tnys. throws only S.'C-l lbs. ofthot, while the North 

 Carolina heaves 3588 llis. at a broad side, without her 

 pransway guns. The largest ship in the world, he adds, 

 was the Spanish Admiral's ship ^antissama Trinidada. 

 sunii olTCape Trafalgar, by Lord Nelson; and she did 

 n"t throw a heavier broadside than the .North Carolina.

We learn that within two or three weeks, as many 

 as forty head of cattle have suddenly died in this town 

 and its vicinity. This mortality is supposed to have 

 b,;en occasioned hy some poisonous substance eaten by 

 tbem while vegetation suffered so much from the 

 drought. The work of death was very rapid ; in some 

 instances, cattle dropped down in the yoke, and in five 

 minutes from the time the first symptoms of disease 

 were discernilde, life became extinct. It is understood 

 that no cases have occurred since the late showers. 



We are infi>rrafd that in two instan-'es the t^crsons 

 employed ia skinning cattle which had died suddenly. 

 have lost their lives froai the infectiou tak *n from them.
