BERMUDA, MAT 2. We ate suffering se, ions inconvenience in this island from the scarcity and high price of provisions, occasioned by the cessation of our intercourse with the United States —of course, the inconvenience is but temporary, as we may expect supplies from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, a; soon as the merchants understand that the mar ket here is open for the produce of those Colonies ; but still, till those supplies arrive, we are in great distress ; h is said that there are not above 50 barrels of flour in the Island, and butcher's meat is become quite a luxury, ad only to be procured by the more wealthy, and even by them very seldom ; poultry also is become scarce and say dear. When any one is about to kill a calf or a lob, it is quite amusing to see with what rapidity the mos flies from one end of the Island to the other, and lsw many messengers are sent from all parts from the candidate, for a joint of fresh meat. Admiral Lake, sod the squadron, we are happy to say, are aboot to sail shortly for HalifAx, which will afford us some relief, as tl!eir presence here only increases the consumption, and +Uses the price of provisions.

Throughout the day the wind was ex tremely high, but towards evening the sky became clear, and there was but little wind stirring, and ac cordingly Mr. G. resolved not to disappoint,his friends and the public a second time, and ordered the necessary preparations to be made. The Balloon having been filled on Thursday, re mained in the Gardens since that time, and had been rent by the violence of the wind in two or three places, which allowed a great quantity of gas to escape, but the damage was quickly repaired, and the gas again turned on, and the Balloon completely filled. At six o'clock the ropes were attached to the car, in which the ballast, grappling irons, &c. were placed. At seven o'clock Messrs. Gannon and WILLIAM Gannet entered the car, and in order to avoid the pos sibility of the balloon not clearing the adjoining houses, it was removed to the further end of the gardens, when every preparation being completed, the signal was given for cutting the ropes, which being done, the bal. iron ascended in a most majtstic style, taking a north easterly direction. The intrepid aeronauts repeatedly waved their hats t) the assembled multitude below, and aftei being in the air about ten minutes they threw out a quantity of ballast. The machine then rose very rapidly, and in a few minutes after was lost to the ♦iew of the spectators. Accounts from St. Petersburg!) are very satisfactory, in regud to commercial affairs. The demand for cochineal and indigo, in particular, is very great. The exchange on London was from lOy toy, and at Riga lOy. Great shipments of oats and Ras for tbh country, had of course brought many bills en the market ; but the rate of exchange was nevertheless looking up. There was no political news. The fleer, which was to sail from Cronstadt to England, is that which goes out every year for exercise. Its ultimate destination, it is said, will be decided by the Councils of England.

PROM THAT CHOW, ILIPOSITORY, PHI ANNALS OF ITORTINO., The ardent shooter will, this mon' th, begin to cut a longing look at the grouse mountains, where, as far as an opinion can be formed from present appearances, plenty of birds may be confidently anti cipated, well-pown and strong on the wing. It is not easy to form a correct opinion as to the abundance or scarcity of young partridges till the sickle is put into the cons ; though as soon as the grass is cat, peat numbers will shew them selves, if the breeding time has een propitious. A more unwel come sight cannot be presented to the eyes of a shooter, in the month of July, than a barren pair. Rain is always injurious to the incubation of birds. When it happens to descend in violent showers. from the middle of May to the middle of June, the destruction of the nests formed in the bottoms of the ditches is inevitable; if an absolute ovesfiowing of the brooks and streams takes place, the mischief which ceases becomes general and extensive. Was, in deed, is the injurious effects of wet weather confined to the period of incebaties, as the young birds, immediately after hatching, are equally liable to suffer. Much rain fell during the month of May, in the present year, but it dropped in genial showers ; and never in a' way so as to fill the ditches: and as vegetation was forward and remarkably vigorous, thus affording good cover, we are willing to suppose that little injury has been sustained. However, that a season cannot be too dry, was strikingly exemplified last year ; it was the driest spring and summer ever recollected, and was equally remarkable for abundance of partridges. The same reasoning will, in a very great degree. apply to the breeding of pheasants, except that, inasmuch as these birds seek the stronger covers for the pur pose of nestling and incubation, their eggs are, on that account, less liable to injury. . . . . . Young harm Mere, this year, seen at an unusually early period. These animals have bred more abundantly this season than for many years back. Judging, indeed, ftom wthat has fallen under oar own observation, we have no hesitation in saying that hares will be found more numerous in the ensuing season than they have known In the memory of the present generation. The breeding of foxes is not much affected by the weather; though it very frequently happens (generally, perhaps) that the bitch seeks a situation at some distance from the main earth, to de posit her cubs, yet it is always in a well-sheltered situation. What are called amb foxes, or those without earth, frequently deposit their cubs upon the surface of the ground; yet, owing to the foster ing care of the mother, they are rendered proof against any unfa vourable weather. Nor are cubs, like leverets, or the young of birds, in any danger of vermiu—such as the stoat, weasel, polecat, &c. as these creatures, as well as rats and mice, find an implacible enemy in the fox—he will both kill and eat them; so that cubs are likely to sustain little injury, except from game-keepers, aid those who are not fond of the most delightful amusement in the world— fox-hunting. We are free to caaless that we are not without our fears respecting the foxes and their cubs in the Quorndon hunt, which at present is tenantless; and on this account we are appre hensive these animals will be, in some degree, unprotected. It was always found necessary to be on good terms with the workmen in the Swithland slate-pits, in order to prevent them destroying the cubs, which are annually deposited in the rocks, close to their works, and also in the adjoining wood ; and as there is no person at present to attend to this business, the cubs will, most likely, suffer : net only, ibdeed, in the immediate vicinity of Swithiand slate-pits, but in Ulscroft and Newtown woods, as well as in the Granby. covers, ilardon-hill, Gracedieu park, and the Forest, generally. In Oakley and Piper woods, and also in Spring and Cloud woods, the cubs, perhaps, will be snore secure. We are willing to hope the same will be the case in the neighbourhood of Melton, as well as on the Nottingham and Harborough sides. Even with every possible care, an importation of foxes was al most uniformly necessary in the.Qaorndon hunt ; but this is not so much to be wondered at, when it is considered that the bounds were out every day (Sundays excepted), and that, consequently, more foxes were killed in this than in any other hunt. Cricket, pigeon-shooting, boating, and other manly and energetic sports are now also in their noontide glory; ot, in other weds, and as our motto has it, " Alike the month to all its influence lends, And sportsmen hail it as the best of friends." There is, indeed, a choice of sport for anglers this month, as almost all kinds of freshwater fish will now feed. Morning and evening, however, are the periods to be embraced by the fisherman for the exercise of his skill; as in the hours when the sou is most potent,.and the atmosphere is unclouded, the pisc..tory tribe are wary, and, being plentifully supplied with natural flies and fatting in sects,reject the neatest artificial bait,or the nicest allurements amen. In streams and scowers will be found the most profitable angling, though old Father Thames and other rivers, where that sport may be enjoyed, will afford profit and pleasure to the punt fisherman. Thames Ditton, Hampton ' and all those rendezvous, which the " Angler's Guide" so well describes, will now be filled by metro politan sportsmen, and perch, barbel, dace ' and, perhaps, trout, will suffer accordingly. We wish all our brethren of the angle, whether the fiy or the ground bait be employed in their service, propitious ' weather and much sport, and commend them to their pastime with the profitable hint that "hope and patience support the fisherman."

This happy state of things has spread its ineigorasing influence over all Scotland—from the borders to John O'Groat's ; and as regards this northern division of the Island, we cannot support the accounts just given from the south, better than by quoting the transactions at the Great Annual Wool and Sheep Mal ket of Scotland, held in this town last week. On this occasion, we have the best grounds for knowing that about 190,000 stones of wool, and 150,000 sheep, were disposed of, on terms generally agreeable to all parties. The prices on an average were from 15 to 20 per cent. higher than those of last year ; and more than 50 per cent. better than could have been justly expected, considering the state of the country at the close of last year, and at the commencement of the present one. This market, taken by itself as being strictly confined to the staple com modities of the Highlands of Scotland, i. e. sheep and wool, is, next to the Leipsic Fair, the gre nest in Europe that ever we have heard of; and accordingly all its transactions a-e watched with intense interest in the corn rnercial world. Although the prices this year were loss er than had been given in the speculative year of 1825, yet for wool they were as good, ra her a shade b iter, than were obtained in the more prosperous years of 1822. 1823.1825, or 1826. The improvement in the price of sheep this year, compared with the last five years, always excepting 1825, is infinitely more striking. To this we have to add, for the satisfaction of the buyers, that the sheep in the Highlands are at present in high condi tion; they afford an excellent clip of wont ; and from their strength and excellent herding, the 1 sses among them, during the severe storms of last winter, have proved very inconsiderable. In closing this agreeable notice of returning prosperity throughout the country, we ought not to omit saying, that every where in the north the crops promise to be abundant and of excellent quality.—lnverness Courier. _ _ • _ _ The weather, for the last eight days. has been uncom monly cheering for the farmer. We have had several heavy showers since Monday, which have done much to refresh the fields, and give an increased impulse to se• getation. We have never known the farmers to be mr re generally agreed as to the fair prospects that their la bours will be abundantly rewarded. Although the crops must be, on the whole, consillerably later than last sea son, yet it is expected to be fully an average in this re spect, and we have already heard of operations that mat strengthen this opinion. On Monday, the 18th instant, hay harvest commenced at Cardross, and the crop proved to be excellent. At Arth rey Wells a field of clover-grass has been made into hay, and the ground ploughed down, and sown with turnip-seed in the best order, thus aff ,rding the active and intelligent occupier of the land the advantage of two crops in one year. Strawberries and early potatoes have al.o been produced in the same quarter; and we learn from Denny, that ripe cherries were pulled in the garden of Dr. Leiseman, so far back as the 11th Journal. Imam BAR.—The eleven Gentlemen whose names we announced in the Mail of Monday, as having been selected for silk gowns, were this morning sworn in as King's Counsel, before the Chancellor in hikprivate chamber. His Lordship, on entering his Court, called each of the Gentlemen in rotation within the Bar, where they took their seats after the usual acknowledg. merits. The following is the order in which they were called : J. Rolleston, Louis Perrin. John Deeting, John Schoales, J. D. Jackson, Richard Moore, E. Tickell, C. Gilmore, Edward Scott, Trail Hall, and Gervais Bu l b s , now his Majesty's Counsel at La w.—Thiblin Mail. House Leuscutm—The laun hing of the two brick houses in Garden-street was completely success ful. They were moved nearly 10 teet,occupied at the time by their tenants, without having sustained any injery. The preparations were the work of some time: the two buildings having been put upon ways, or into a cradle, were easily screwed on a new foundation. The inventor of this simple and cheap mode of moving tenanted brick buildings is entitled to the thanks of the public. In the course of time, it is likely that houses will be put up upon ways at brick or stone quarries, and sold as ships are, to be delivered in any part of the city.—American .Paper. • .71 ! 11'1'1 1 . 1 Pr ; 1 1 q i f ti 1 , 11 Ilf 'i . 1 , ti i i ,1 \ 4 1 4 1 . 1 .
