Extraordinary Discovert in an Australian Ship.—A very remarkable discovery has just been made in one of Messrs. Green's ships recently arrived in the port of London from Australia. The ship, the Result, from Melbourne, was being overhauled a day or two ago in the London docks, when the skeleton of a man was found standing upright. He was dressed, but all his flesh had dried up on his bones, and His clothes therefore hung loosely about him. On searching him a sum of twelve shillings in silver was found in his pocket, but no other property of any kind. It is supposed that the man nad not got the means to pay for his passage, and secreted himself in tome part of the vessel, and was either suffocated, or that, in consequence of the maimer in which the cargo was.packed, he found it impossible to escape from his place of confinement.—Manchester JBaaminer. .
