of the city and the garrison, and u soon as a military band
begins to play the Place of Bt. Mark is deserted. Many
of the nolde Vein t an families have been obliged to return
to the city, aa their country houses are filled with troops.

Thi• lar:i• quantities of fish caught round the
Channel Islands have always been attributed to vast sup-
plies of sand eels found close to the islands on which such

colony of sharks have been living in the Channel which bees
driven sway the porpoise tribe,aael there has ever since bees
♦ great scarcity of the Ash which live upon the sand eels.
Curiously enough the sharks have now left the Channel,
porpoises have returned, and the fish which were so scarce
ars as pkatifal as ever.
