On perusing the Public Prints, a day or two since, my at on was particularly attracted to an account of the loss of the Spence, Michael Wilson master, at St. Shutt's, in the island iewfoundland, on the IGth of July last; and from the late mcholy loss of his Majesty's brig Drake, at the same place, I nduced to tif:r a few observations on the reasons why those m have so frequently occurred at that place within a few s, and without the survivors being able to account for them, also to point cut the-means of avoiding them in future, if e means which are in the possession of all commanders of els,are duly attended to. Being a native of the island, having nearly 20 years engaged in its fishery, mad the greatest part hat time having been spent in close attention to its duties, , I trust, entitle my observations to some consideration, par larly when I state that they are the result of information de d from the oldest and most experienced boat-masters who been employed in fishing from the centre of the eastern to western coast of the island, and more particularly at Cape Mary's. Those men, though unlearned, I have found enti ce consideration ; and their practice has proved their con lions to have been correct. It is well understood by those boat-masters that there is in Leral a strong current setting in from the eastward, along the stern coast, which after passing Cape Pine, tends more towards Mary's and Placentia Bays. This current, in my opinion, is sibly felt, at least twenty leagues S.W. of Cape Pine, and be- Lies more rapid as you approach the land, its velocity increasing :he wind favours it, but at all times of sufficient magnitude to !anger the safety of any ship approaching, from the south and it in foggy weather, and being ignorant of its existence. In .er to avoid the danger arising from this current, the fisher n, in foggy weather, and when returning front the western Lit to their homes on the eastern coast, invariably use the lead, ,ending more en their depth of water than their compass, and rer approaching nearer the land than 35 fathoms of water.— ie ground Wog more of an inclined plane on the west coast n on the east, you will find that depth of water a considerable stance from the land ; in fact, sufficient to ensure the safety of y ship passing the coast, " On passing to the eastward of Cape Race, the ground be mes more broken, and tha depth of water increases so very that in your course front Cape St. Mary's to avoid Cape ace, you will, when to the eastward of it, find yourself in fifty :hams, and when advanced a very short distance further, in tty and seventy fathoms of water; consequently, you are then :at of any land, and at liberty to pursue your course to the stward, or run along the eastern coast, as circumstances may vire. Ido not perceive that any advantage would arise by overnment establishing a post at St. Shotes to fire fog guns, as e have at times known vessels lost in the neighbourhood of St. In's, where that practice is invariably followed. A due at ntion to the lead and line should be enforced ; for if men will not .ke care of themselves, it is bard'to expect others to do so fur :em:' ... SPOR,77,M INTELLIGENCE.

She stated, that she Mr. Bevuh. examined the little girl as to the nature of an oath, . . - .. . which she seemed to understand; but,after being sworn, in answer to questions as to the treatment she had received, to the astonish. ment of all, she said she had plenty of meat and drink ; she had four meals every day, and was treated very kindly by her master. At the same time her despondinglook and fearful glance towards him, left a doubt of her being still under his dictation and controul. Four women, who were neighbours, were then examined, when one of them said, she seldom saw the child, for she be lieved she was kept in a state of confinement ; but three months ago she came to her, and she perceived the marks of blows on her arms, and could feel lumps on her head, and the child asked her for mouldy crusts and cold potatoes, and when given her they were eaten by the child with the greatest avidity. A similar story was reLittd by theother three women, to whom the child said she was beaten and starved by her master. Upon this evidence the Magistrates ords red her instant discharge, when the child burst into tears, and a loud fir of crying. The defendant admitted that he had kept her more confined than usual, but said he had treated lwr kindly, and seemed to appeal to the grief of the child on knowing that she was to be discharged. Mr. liemx.—At present it is our order that the girl be dis charged, and that she be taken care of in the workhouse, for it appears to me she is now labouring under sonic terror of the mind. The master will also understand that the inquiry will not end here, and it will be furtun Ste for him if he can remove the suspicions against him, but there is something behind which must remain fur future investigation. The child was discharged, and conducted out of the Office, and, as the passed her master at the bar, she cried very Much, and shook hands with him. - The Sessions of the Peace for the county of Middlesex will begin at the Sessions House, Civrkenwcll-green, on Monday next, when the trials of trayersers, and miters out on lull on matters of assault, nuisance, and misuemeanour, will be pro ceeded on.
