We have seen curiosity, recently
found by Mr. Steubcn Taylor, among for.
reign ballast, on one of the wharves iu
this town, which. we believe, is withouta
parallel. 1t consists of the Cross, the
Crescent, and the Papal Crown, distinctly
in hard chalky substance, re-
sembling fine indurated mortar. The
perpendicular beam Of the Cross is one
inch and five tenths in height, and one
eighth of an inch in width. The trans.
verse beam is nine tenths of an inch in
length; of the same wedth with the per.
penlicular; crossing it about three eishths
of an inch from the top. The Crescent
is at the foot of the Cross, on the left side,
with its horns turned from tits chord
measures four tenths of an inch, and is
parallel with the perpendicular OF the
Cross. The Crown is an inch below, or,
viewing it as in perspective, is some dis
|tance in front of the Crescent, with an in


dex pointing towards it from darker payt
lof the stone, resembling thick clouds oil


smoke. All of these figures consist ola


brown silex, which forms contrast with


the stones in which it is imbeded, similar


to that Of ink with paper. Journal.
