PUNCH, OK THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
ST. PAUL'S AT SiSA.
We take the following from The Times :—
" On the passage out in the Acadia, Captain Alexander Ryrie reports that,
on the 16th of May, in latitude 4G, longitude 47, there were seen about 100
icebergs, some of them of huge size, and one from 400 to 500 feet high, bearing
so strong a resemblance lo St. Pant's, that it was at once christened after
that celebrated cathedral. The dome was perfect, and it required no extraor-
It was afterwards discovered that the 600 pretended negroes had
sailed for Jamaica, taking their places as—white passengers ! The
fact is, they had stained their skins with nitrate of silver or lunar
caustic to pass for blacks—a fraud deposed to by a chemist who had
sold the commodity.
We have received a letter from Cuba (from "our Own Corre-
spondent,") on the matter. He states that the authorities are so
iudiguant at the fraud, that they are about to pass a law to prevent
dinary stretch of imagination to supply the turrets, pinnacles, and other parts of its repetition. Henceforth, every person who buys a black man will

ferred to an iceberg.
