Attempt to Swim. Across the British Channel. 1 1 a On Wednesday last huge placards posted about Dover announced that J. B. Johnson, the hero of London Bridge and champion swimmer of the world,' would swim from Eng- land to France on lriday, August 23,. and on Thursdas Mr. Johnson, accompanied 'by h' • brother' Mr. Peter Johnson, the hampion diver, and Mr. J. M. Coll rd, the Secre- tary of the •Serpen me 5 wimp:ling Club, arrived - at I) over, and the match bedame the g neral topic of coeversatibn. Nau cal men stout- ly affinne4 the perf mance of such . a feat to be uttly impossible, owing to t1b force of the cerrents in the Chau el. which would make the actua1 switnmin'a distance be- tween forty and fiftly miles. Tra- dition affirms that some seventy years ago three men, convicted of a political offense, to escape punish- ment swain from Calais to Dover. One was drowned, the other two landed on he beach, oue in an utter state of exhaustion, from which he died; the third recovered and lived in the town for several years. It appears that the ',resent attempt to cross the ChanneL arose out of a vvager laid inLeeds of X1,000to £30, and almost immediately doubled, that Johnson would not swim across the Channel. Mr. red Strange, ns, at once - under - the manager of the Royal Surrey Zoological Garde took the w!hole arrangements, and at his own' expense secured the steamer Palmerston, of Dover, to accompany i! the swimmer with a select party of friends and the mem- bers of the Press. 4 large con- course of people 'haviseg assembled on the Admiralty Pier to witness his departuire, Johnson, with his brother and -Mr. Collard left the pier in a steamer, fronli the bow of which they dived into the sea, there a ' performing variou4s ,aqaatic feats for more than an hour, at the .conclu- sion. of Which they were loudly cheered. JOhnson is twenty-four years of age)of median) height, and one of the 1 fiuestbiiit men it is possible to see. He measures forty - Eve inches round the hest, and at r*tot, will can inflate it to about live more; his muscula4 powers a e also enor- mously developed. Tke term of the bet did allow of his coming out of the i water, onsequently, althotigh his 'abilities as a switnnier might have nabled hirn to accom- plish the distance, it 'was thought, and it afterWard proved, impossible to keep up the circulation of the blood for so lonab a period. John- son started about 10:40 ; A.

The wind was •moderate float east -north-east ; a strong tide was also running, with a short chopping sea. At 11:20 he partook of port -wine, and again at Ili- rehashed. himself. At 1i he • approached the steamer and i equest- ed something tdeat, asking whether he might come on board. Mr. Strange, seeing that in consequence of the strong tide, ere., his c:tance of reaching the French coast was quite hopeless, thought it advisable he should do to. When assisted on deck it was found that his legs, from the thighs downward, were numbed; the circulation of the blood seemed te have threw& stopped—ie fact, the cold had so thoroughly mastered the system that he was unable to raise a basin of beeftteri to his lips.—Lone den Ti772,681 Aug. 26. axernennownoralmsoriweli"er 6PECIAL1 NOTICES.

Thomas' Ec1ectric Oil, WORTH TEN TMIES ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. DO YOU KNOW ANYTITING OP IT ? IF NOT, IT IS mare "YOU =- There are but few preparations of medicine wbich have withstood the impartial judgment of the people for any great length of time. One of these is THOMAS' ELECTRIC OIL, purely a prepar- ation of six of some of thebest oils that are known, each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific physicians know that medicines may be formed of several ingredients in certain fixed proportions of greeter pou-er, and producing effects which could never result from the use of any one of flame or iii different cambinations. Thus in the 'preparation of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming a compound which cOuld not by any possibility be, made from any other cembination or proportions of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients, and entirely differeut from anything ever before made, one which produces the most astonishing re- sults'and having a wider ran,ge of applleation thanany medicine ever before discovered. It con- tains no alcohol or other volatile liquids, conse- quently loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is lost in that way, and you get only the small quan- tity of oils which they may contain.
