MIRAGE.--The Kingston Whig says: "On Tuesday last the attention of parties was directed to the strange aspect. Smoke, as from a steamboat, was seen rising above the horizon, and the whole outline of the American shore was visible with the naked eye. By the aid of the telescope the woods, farms and houses with smoke ascending from them and the entire outline of the shore was distinctly visible. The refraction lasted for upwards of an hour. At one o'clock when our attention was called to it by Mr. Booth, P.L. Surveyor, the view from the top story of Mr. Sutherland's new building was very fine. The light-house on the American shore could be distinctly seen with the waves lashing its base."
