Notwithstanding every ob stacle, incidental and legislative, the Fisheries of Ireland are annually increasing. The number of seamen ens ployed in 1321, was about 36,000, and this year the amount is 44,892, being an excess of 8,700 men. The number of decked vessels is 306—0 f burthen 10,960 tons, and employing 2,035 men; that of half decked vessels is 286-5,694 tons, and 1,634 men ; of o r f to sail-hosts 2.sl6—and 12,732 nun; awl of row-boat; 6,196, eta- - p'oying 28,380 men. Letters have been received in town from Oporto, dated the 32 instant, which mention that considerable confu sion and discontent prevailed in the place, in come. qnence of the licentious and alarming conduct of the sol diery. A serious commotion was, in fact, apprehended, fur all the middle classes in society felt indignant at the parricidal and traitorous act the troops had committed, in brink instrumental in the destruction of that code of • laws which was the only bulwark they had against des putitin, The persons in authority felt equally alarmed, seeing the soldiers with the constitutional cockade in their bands, parading the streets, uttering execrations at the manner in which they had beeu deceived, and assert jug that they would era long overturn the disgraceful larticture they had just raised. The Governor of the Oporto District, General Pamplona, nominated to the ippoinitteut since the late reaction, had resigned ; and Ayres Pinto, who had been placed at the head of iede. partntent of Justice in Oporto, refused to enter on the duties of his office, until lie visited Lisbon to kiss the King's hand, but which was considered only as a speci ons pretext, the real motive being an apprehension that things were by no ma rns settled. A gentleman wko had amassed an immense fortune in India, at his death bequeathed the Sum of one hundred and fifty thousand poueds,to Messrs. Coutts and Co. the celebrated bankers, with whom liediad transacted business for many years; but from some unknown motive be left to his widow only 500/. per annum. Having always shared in the romft,rts of a splendid establishment, this lady was obliged to relinquish many of those enjoyments in which , she bad b::en indulged Miring bee husband's lifetime, and stated to the more favoured inheritors tins privations to .. which she was compelled to submit, when they most go nerously agreed to allow her for her lifetime the interest en the original legacy, co that the lady, who is now in trerforty•tifth year, possesses an annual income of 75001. —4,Bloraing Herald.) Prom the Provincial papers which have arrived this morning from Ireland, it appears that the 12th of July was celebrated in many places, with the usual Orange parades ; and that, in some, it did not pass without dis turbance and bloodshed. Died, oh Tuesday se'nnight, at the house of Mr, N. Rowe, Torpoint, John Hill, formerly a labourer in the 'Dock Yard at this port, and superannuated on'lol. per annum. In penurious habits be rivalled the notorious Daniel Dancer, his miserable appearance frequently ex- ' citing the charitable feelings of the benevolent, and 1 causing them to contribute to his relief. He literally de mied himself• the necessaries to sustain life, and has been seen walkilfg for half an hour before a baker's shop, al ternately looking at his money, which he loved better than himself, and then wisually at the objects of his craving appetite. In his apartment were found 73 einem, 2U half guineas, and 106 sovereigns, curiously 1 tied up in rags, three receipts for 2001. in the Plymouth Bank, and a Bank Stock receipt for 4001. He has left a will, in which he desires to be buried at St. Stephens, to • which parish be has given 5 guineas, and the like sum to &hash, to be distributed in bread to the poor. The greater part of his`propre'y is left to one Edwatd Tee necke. The conduct of olr. Rowe, in whose house he died, is highly honourable to Win, as immediately on Still's decease he sent for a respectable resident to take an inventory of all the property be died possessed of.— (Plymouth Telegraph.) y -- ~i .

Daoivtven.—Verbal information from several sources reached as yesterday, of a most heart-rending calamity that occurred at Swansea on Sunday forenoon. The passage boat, which plies across the river, had taken in so many as thirty persons, who bad just left a place of Divine Worship, and were proceeding towards Britton Ferry. There being a strong fresh in the river, and the boatman, in the act of sculling, having accidentally slip ped his oar, a gnat of wind precipitated the whcde party under water. Of the thirty, only thirteen were saved. One of those lost was a young woman of about 17 years, on the eve of being married. Her lover attempted to keep her above water, but was obliged to sacrifice his be trothed to self-preservatiolt. One of the dead bodies was picked up by the tilamorgan Steam Packet. Repe titions of the same sad office throughont the afternoon, and the view of floating hats and garments upon the waves in the Bay, rendered the town an appalling scene of sorrow in surviving relatives, and sympathe , ic dismay in the spectators.. - --(Bristol Observer, July CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 113.--The arrivals of the week are very moderate, and the weather continuing wet, more money is asked for Wheat, and prime samples are rather dearer.

The gentlemen more Christianly dis posed replied, that wishing to do unto others as they'd wish tb be done hr, they would not curse any hotly. But tl.e supporters or Church and State insisted the ger tlemen should give the mime as proof of their I..yeliy. The gentlemen not being disposed to yield to the dicta tion of two drunken fan 'tit's, were about to pm , on, when they were seized by the champions of loyalty. A ensile ensued, and an immense crowd collected. The drunken fellows were accompanied by a y ‘ Oung man, a maker, and frierd of theirs, who being . qoite sob-r, use I his best exertions to appease the furious zeal of his com panions, and endeavoured to bring them houne t hut they were in such good pluck, that no entreaties conlil prevail on them to desist from abusing and pulling the gentle men, until the Pace from College -street, arrived and brought them before the Magistrates.

John Green, porter to the firm, deposed, that on Tuesday Morning last, about half-past ten, the deceased was in the ahoy -room. Witness went up to get a sample of cotton. and the deceased Came down stairs with him. Witness then went to Leadenhall-street, and the deceased bade him— "farewell," observing, he wasgoing home. Witness re turned about eleven, and ascended to tae show-room, a here he saw the deceased lying on the floor covered with blood. Witness instantly came down stairs again and procured Li sistanze, went to the body, and on moving it, discovered a pistol lying by his right side, which appeared to have been recently discharged • a mark of powder appeared on the right hand, and in h is pockets were two ounces of powd.'r. Ever since witness had known deceased, he had appeared low and dejected. Jurar-L-Was'the deceaFei discharged from his situatiaa ? --I think he was, yesterday. Brown Cumbers, 59, Lombard-street, gun-maker, de posed that the deceased came to his shop yesterday morn ing, sad said he wanted a brace of pistols.. for he was go ing out of town. Witness sheaved him a pair, of which he bought one: he then requested witness to load it, which he did with one bell. Witness sold him also two ounces of powder. The pistol produced was the same that was s to hie. Juror—Was there any thing particular in his mann. r No; I saw nothing. Coroner—is it.s new pistol I—Yes.

K ELTON FA I R.—Keltun-hill Midsummer horse fair Wes one of the briskest that has been witnessed for several years past. Early in the morning of the let instant,nit mews's crowds repaired to the Hill, including many Scotch and English dealers. The show of horses wda upon the whole pretty goad; and such was the eompe - tition among the dealers, that very few serviceable ani mals, for which any thing like a fair price was asked, left the market unsold: Five English dealers took out of Galloway altogether upwards of a hundred horses. the prices of which varied from 12!. to 25/.
