Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a voyage •to the' South Sea Fishery,- 7 Captain HALES sailed from England in the Ship Offiey, about the month of October 1820, and having doubled Cape Horn, after a rough pas Sage, 'early in 1821, he put into . the Island of St. Maria, which is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to rv-fit.,—On the 24th of, February, abOut 10 A. ax., several men were seen on the beach, and Capt. Hales supposing them to be Spaniards,, who had come over froth the Main, went on shore with his Second Mate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, for the purpose of procuring fresh provisions.' The party was seen to land, and join the Spaniards, who appeared to be_ very friendly with them ; they shortly afterwards retired from the beach to gether, and it was / supposed that Capt. Hales was in treaty with them for provisions, and was gone over to the South Bay to look at them,: Towards sun-set, the Captain not havingre turned,' the crew became alarmed . and a boat was despatched to search for them, which returned with information, that on their approach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and krom their movements more were supposed to be concealed, and it being near dark, it was deemed most prudent .to return to the ship without venturing to ; land. The following morning no tidings having been received of the party on shore, at day-light. the Chief. Mate manned and armed two boats, for . , the purpose. of endeavooring,to find them; on coming near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting on the beach, and on landing, disCoyered him to be Thomas': Moore the Armourer, covered with blood, and .severely wound ed ; perfectly sensible, and informed therm, that on their •.. •• • first landing, the Spaniards appeared to he friendly, giving them bread and *meat, and induced them to accomPany•them • . Some distance. from the shore, where they were suddenly - sur rounded by 40 or 50 men armed, on which the Captain re. solved to return to his boat,. which was refused, except on cOn- . , &ion of their delivering- np their arms—They were compelled to compingith these terms.—The Spaniards then treacherously. bound thern,itiyo And two, and carried them about three miles into ihe'island, and when dark, brought them back near to the "beach, among some buifies . —siripped them—and cruelly stab. bed !them in cold bleed; whdm NO left for: dead, •he.;.baying received 23 wounds: in his body ; and . ;two sabre Cuts, one on eacb ,slclp of the neck..:.He perfectly sensible, and, was immediately taken on board, where the Sin ,. peon examined him, andl found his wounds mOrtat.' • The boat had ho sooner returne4thada number ofMen were seen Com,: ing towards the beach, and soon afterwards a• dean presented . himself dressed . in. the : captain's clothes, waving his hat for„ a boat to come on shore';'" he was accompanied 'by three' or four 4. ,who. appealed to be Ofkets.iu,gicemuniforms, with cocked hatg and sabred others were discovered from the mast head lying . behind.thobeach. - The lvaderhf the party appeared so' much like Captain Hales, that the Armourer was questioned wife= -ther-he was Poictive thitlh6CiptitinWis.killed; when he assured them be was, and that,the Captain or leader of the Spaniards:so , Much resembled Captain' Itales,'thae he liod * rethorked it when; on shore. The Offley immediately AATighed anchor,-and stood for Conception, and at 5 r. it. the Armourer became much worse, and at 9 the same evening died.—An instance of more atrocious barbarity perhaps, never occurred Capt ». Hales, the Second Ninth, Armourer, and four men perished, in this most ifilimhan transaction ; ealit., Hales . liasleft a Widow and seVe-, ral Children totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to obtain which, this appeals - Made With 'coriflattice to the bene volence of the Public, convinced that they wild humanely con-. tribute to the relief of an unfortunate family, who have been deprived, by this' unforeseen and calamitous, event, of their only support,, and who have thus been reduced from respectable and comfortable circumstances, to thegreatest 'poverty and distress.

(nom. the Quebec Gazettes to the . Idth of Oct.) QUEBE C OCT. 11.--The arrivals from sea at this port have been unusually few during tile last fortnight. The annual Cattle Shew Exhibition and Ploughing Match of the Quebec Agricultural Society was held on Mr. Anderson's Farm, at Dorchester Bridge, on Tuesday last. The shew of cattle was fully as : numerous as was to be expected, considering the wetness of the season s which has prevented the harvest from being, completed,-and the badness of the roads. The quality of the different deseriPtions of live stock exhibited appeared, in ge neral, inferior to What has been seen at former .exhibitions ; this no doubt was, howeveripartlyowing to their being covered with the mud ()rifle roads. Few agricultural implements were produced. The' STiew of garden stuffs was good, and several 'articles much adriiired.. Twenty-one ploughs in all started for the ploughing matches, eight held by 131itish Ploughmen, and thisteen by Canadians. Different parts of the: field were allotted to the Canadian and British plougbinen, and it. Was curious to compare not only the work of the different ploughmen; but also of those trained on. different sides of the Atlantic anti originally belonging to diffe rent nations. • The'Canadilai ploughmen coMplained that - the ridges of the -British ploughmen were too flat and the ridglcts not sufficiently turned, and the latter that the ridge's of theformer were too high, their furrow slices too broad and laid too fiat, and - the furrows between the ridges. too wide, occasioning an useless waste of ground. Some ot the work of both parties - was extremely well done. 4 • Yesterday morning a slight powdering of snow, the first this season, was observed on the tops of the most distant mountains visible to the northward of this city. It disappeared however in the course of the day. The first frost sufficient to form ice on the standing pools of water along the roads, happened on. Tuesday night. Wipes. are entertained that the rainy season, which has'prevailed since the 29th August, is noW terminated. -TURI.TIFS.—We give it as a proof of the highly nutritious qualities of this root, not only for. quadrupeds but also for bipeds, that many of the numerous sportsmen who leave. Qu ebec at too early an hour to have had any thing to eat, on pass ing through the turnip fields bag a turnip or two, on which they support the fatigues of walking the mud of the Ca.nardiere, .the Little River or the Beauport beach, during the greater part of the day. Ittnayalso be mentioned as- an - instance of the degree of li berty which prevails in this country, that these and other sports men and their dogs frequent/y beat up the whole Of the corn-, fields, which may happen to lie. oh their way, breaking fences, 4nd leaying gates open, without ever thinking of the antiquated' notion of the Sacredness of the tight of property, or at all dread-. .ing the law of trespasi, or any other'law which in Europe con-, fines every, one to. what only. beloribmto him, or is common. to the King 8 - subjects. . . - • OcT. 18.—The absence.of altdemand 'for Wheat has COm- ' polled several. of the farmers in "the district of - Montreal to resort to this marketiti boats with vegetables and, oats. Large quan tities of hay have alio recently been brought down by water.- - In some of the parishes which iAed to 'sell great quantities of wheat for exportation,. farms,. pertly.dearetl. , with a log .. house and barn, have been sold at' Sheriff Sales foriess than the usual law expenses which must be - incurred to effect the Sale.' Unless, then, the.fa.xmers inthe-Upper District resort, more generally, to family manufactures for their supply, of clothing, they_will soon be without the means of pietecting their bodies against the intemperature of the seasons. :• The • ankles ~which they will be able to purchase with the. price obtained for the.small, quan tity of Agricultural Produce required for the consumption -of the towns, .will afford but- it momentary relief, for the prices will speedily -fall still -lower, so as hardly to pay the cost of bringing the produce.to market.; while the price.of imported goods will rather increase, as money - hecomes scarcer because a great part of it mugt be sent 'out of vOlintry to purchase further suppliesin Great Britain. .

Cast yotir eyes towards the West,, a canal of Moderate width separates you from'the antient GEnotrides.

Let us now . a(3yq9Ce Over the ..eastern shore of this beautiful gulf, where other phenomena await us. The first object which strili - es us is Vesuvius. .completely detached from the Apennine C:hain, it seems, says exsar Braccini,. as if it disdained the contact of vulgar mountains. Like Parnassus, it exhibits a double summit ; that on the left is the Somma, or Monte di Somma,—that on the right is .the volcano. The first is covered with. verdure on its northern side, but its southern borrows the black colour of its angry neighbouy,, and turns towards the latter its concave flanks,.. ren dered rugged . by frequent conflagrations.

Sometimes, when_the easternsajes prevail on this coast, the. column_ of smoke Which comes out of Vesuvius flies over the Bay in the form of a,bow, and bending towards the region of the Solfatara, seems to indicate the communication subsisting between these two workshops of, Vulcan. , '.Veyond the spot where Sad Pompeii begins to skew itself again to the light,in thebayforMed by the new direction of the Shore, you see Cos.le/P a mare, all,oy al port anahabitittion,where the Bay of ' Naples, seen in atOttv,erse view, presents...the. most imposing ~and varied Picture.

Placed opposite to Naples, it seems to : close the entrance .of. the bay : the summits of its rocks are so dividekas to present the image of a, large crown s and seem to remind us that formerly one of the master's., of the world made this island the. theatre %of his pleasures, his debaucheries, and his cruelties. Such is the outline of the grPat picture annexed by M. Amaury Duval, to the Memoirs of .Count Orloff. lie has, moreover represented part of the interior of Naples, and described Capua and Caserta. We have given but a faint idea of the numerous objects the author has brought together in .this composition;- but he had two .hundted pagesat his command, whilst we have only a couple of columns, in which we have. foUud it very difficult to compress our observation's op two great bays, two volcanos, and a dozen existing or ruined towns. The notes of .AL. Duval are very instructive and curious.; his pictues, full of interest and beauty, are excellent accompaniments 'to the Memoirs' of Count Orluff,lind in fact form its greatest •ornaments: The,in4tder who opens this book at the tobcluding .volume will take a deeper interest in the history ,of the people who inhabit this h'ghly favoured cpuntry, and ,applying. to Naples what the old men of Troy said.of the beautiful Helen, he would exclaim, " so fine a country is indeed worth a war."
