HAYLE.
MESSAGE FROM THE SEA — A curious "message from the sea" has been picked up on Hayle beach, and delivered to the collector of customs. It consists of two bottles strung about a foot apart and securely sealed. One of the bottles contains three letters, directed to Hamburg, and two sixpences, with a request that the letters be posted at once, and the ship reported, the finder to have the other bottle, containing a pint of rum for his trouble. The request is dated 1st December, off Cape Lizard, on board the Danish brig Anne, Georgina, from Hamburg, bound to La Guayna, (Venezuela).
