The sea at short distance from the shore here. has presented some remark able appearan- ces during the past week. On Tuesday last |. about 4 oclo'k in the afternoon. about low wa- ter, the sea for about 30 yards from thA shore, and along the 'ast from the cove to the Bay "f Nigg. appeared of purple color. and continued to darken as the afternoon advanced. Our i'm dormant who, with large number of fishermen observed the appearance, thinking it might arise from the rsfection of the sky, went GU, in a boat and examined the water. To his as. tonishment he found the boat actually in sea of purple, and the water of glutinons nature, containing 90 much coloring matter that is it actually dyed red whatever object it touched. No effiuvia could be perceived arising from the water. As the tide rose the celpretl water packed closer in shore. and continued to be. come darker and darker. Next afternoon the same appearances were observed to oe cur, but not to such an extent. We wish some of our scientific friends would afford us clue to the cau.e this phenomenon.
