NO'i'VE, OF A NEWLY DTSCOVERAD SHOAL.

A very dangerous shoal ho been recenly di,covered a few de-
gree, to the eu.twaid of the Cape, by the American ship Union, on
r pasvitt iron' New York to the Isle of France. As it is of import-
ance to the irit••resb of riayigatis n that the pn:ition of this newly ois-
c,•iered 141;e: be av soeelilv and pronitilpted as pos.ihle, we

A few davit bincr, as two poor I:iris were weeding in a field belonging
to Mr. Crosdill, of Thaningtion, Kent. they discovered a piece of gold.
in the shape of a small bar. %shirt' they afterwards sold to a silversmith,
in Canterbury. for ursards of twelve ;moulds. It was entirel3 plain. ano
ro,st even a remnant of antapoiry aboior-it.
UNION HALL.—LIGHT BaEsis•—A Baker was on Friday con-
:victed be fore the Sitting Magistrate. and fined vit. los. for exposing
*to sale a quantity of bread okficient in weight This i• an evil which,
more particularly milder the present high price of that necessary
article of life, surely rails for serious investigation. That it has
arrived at an unprecedented height the following statement will
chew. Since the Yd of January last no less than 78 baktrs have
been eoliv;eted at this office only; several tholosal.il ounces of bread
have been tiso rested, and distributed, by order of the Mvistrates to
she for the Destitute,. the Marshalsea, the School for Indi-
gent Blii; I. arid other charitable justibstions. It may, perhaps, he
soo•pc, teat that some of these informations have been tto a ~egree vex-
ations. toe contrary, bowever, appears to be the tact, for the
Magistrates, after attentive investigations, have in most instances
felt it their duty to impose the full penalty, viz. ss. per ounce defici-
ent ; most of these ottemiels had been previously befiire the magis-
all ates, some once, others two, three, and four times, and one even
yea, convicted for the fifth time. The bread in wide!. the deficiency
is 11;ttally the arentegt is the small bread, which goes more particn-
larly Immo the poorer classes of people. From these ciream-
stances it would appear that the regulations of the law affixing the
assize of bread in Londim are not sufficient to protect the consumer
'against frauds ; it would therefore be well that Mr. F. Lewis before
he 'messes the Bill, which is at present pending in the Commons, for
extending these regulations tee the kitigiloni at large, through the
Noose, should consider whether some new and more effectual re-
gulations could be adopted on tilts subject.
