"Sea-going Coffins."

--A writer in the London Shipping Gazette styles the iron screw steamships, now extensively employed in navigating the waters of Northern Europe, as "sea-going coffins. " No less than six or seven of them were lost (five foundered) in a gale October 3d and 4th, the loss of life amounting to about two hundred persons.
