Pretty good number, or else not.

•Owrowa Ideas are not preaeotedalooe in regard to this furl, lor we have bee* * informed by wealthy

traveller* who have visited WaUtlBy

rape sad nearly ell In this country, that the bathing

ben le not extolled at any other place.

Among the important items at

bathing place, are the lacfliUos for saving from drowning such as may chance 'to bn overcome by the breakers. In the usual bathing at Cape Islsmd there is very little danger; bnt there are those who will ven. turn whore they ought not, oven at the risk of their lives; and pfevions to any arrangement for such emergencies, persons lost their lives almost every year. For the post few yean, boats, properly manned, have been kept on the bathing groand at the nsusl bathing hours, since which

this danger has been obviated.

EWilhis purpose Messrs. West A Thompson, of C ongress Hall, have provided them* selves with one of the self righting boats, patented by Richard C. Holmes, Esq. of oar wownty. This boat is manned by competent oogymea. and kept en the bathing groewd, in front of Congress Hall, daring tbs public bathing hoar. Bnt n few days since, they picked np a man, who, to all appearance, most bare been drowning, with-

out their assistance.

There can be no qaestion that this patent it superior to any ether boat in ase, for
