7He Sea Surhent-oncc more I've do not know, but that we must give in to the ex- istence of his snaky majesty which has been so often vouched by the most respectable wit nesses, that (the speculatons of some natur- alist to the contrary notwithstanding 1t hard ly seemed possible to doubt it. Almost eve- ry season, rumor is alive about his appearance in some bay. cove or channel, down east, and "along shore;" and the story comes accredited by the most positive declarations of the most trustworthy people. On Saturday last it seems, he made his second appearance this season off Boar's Head, Hampton beach. His exhibition was witnessed by eight or ten spec tators, one of whom gentleman of our &C., quaintance, on the carefulness of whose ob- servation we implicitly rely, gives an account ofhis appearance, which resembles those al- ready furnished of this strange sea monster.- He says that he was distinctly observed at distance of or 400 yards, and appeared to be about 15e feet in lenght. He was dark in color, and presented a number of protuber- ances along his back, thirty or forty of which was counted. These protuberances appear ed to be foot in size Near his head appear ed what resembled horn or fin. The view was distinct, and confined fifteen minutes while the animal coursed slowly along parallel to the beach. That these appearances were presented by one and the same animal, our informant has no doubt whatever. When first observed the animal was making for the beach, and having arrived at certain point,

 suddenly turned, and with continuity of mos

 tion which could not have been occasionef oy

 a shoal of fish The impression received by

 our informants were nearly those ot every

 gentleman present; all of fwhom are willingto

 attest to their belief in facts substantially as a | bove stated. .-Newbnryhor Heraldi
