DUND It, JANCARY

The Herring Fishery in the River, su inauspi-
ciously begun, has continued to agitate the hope's
and fears of those concerned, till the best of the
season has elapsed. For some weeks pasti prices
have been ttum iSs. to 'los. per cran; and during
the tempestuous weather of last week, few have
been caught. Upon the whole, it has hitherto
turned out a misadventure; and we have to lament
the loss of capital and time, of those who have
sought fortune or subsistence in a business which,
in this place at least, is new and precarious.
GIBRALTAR, JAN. 3.

We have lately had some very stormy weather
here, and some accidents have happened. The
English brig John drove on shore to the southward
of Algesiras, but since got off. The American
brig Amphitrite drove on shore at Algesiras. The
American ship Cora is on shore under Montague
Bastion. The American schooner Saba drove on
shore on the Neutral Ground. The Moorish sloop
Marimona is lost at the back of the New Mole.
The Spanish polacre Santitsima de la "alud is lost
under the fort at the New Mole. A Spanish pol-
acre upset off Europa Point.
