The following refleetions in The Pubficith:,
breathe a spirit of humanity that is :highly com-
mendable :--14 There was a report yesterday,4hat
a great IlikflorY had-been. obtained in 'ltaly, and
that to,doo Austrians had. been either
'wounded, or prisoners. We hope, says a Paper
of this rnorning,\this happy news is true, and that
it will be' confirmed to-morrow. How is this
news so happy, if Peace was certain without this
effusion of blood ?—:-Since the conclusion 'of the
last Armistice by MOR EAU 210 dOUbt can be en-
tertained that Peace be concluded. A'battle
is always a wound to Humiinity—but when it
is useless, when it eontributes 'neither to the
Glory nor Security of a Nation, nothing remains
to the COtiqueror but to weep for his success.
g If any thing can reConcile the mind of a Philo-
sopher.to the-effusion of human blood,' said a Le-
gislator lately to the Chief Consul," it is when
Courage is not commanded by Ambition, and
when battles are only fought for the tranquillity
of the World."

A large bank has been discovered neat Campbel-
town, abounding with cod, ling,. &c. and capa-
ble of furnishing several thousand tons for ate
London and Englisil markets
.generally. This
Fishery, which now engages• die Committee of
the convention of Royal Boroughs and will
last, it is believed, from January, till March, and
afford employment to. 6o or 8o Vessels, of from
40 to 6o tons burthen.

The Boats from Dysart, Kirkaldie, Kinghorn,
&c. have been very successful. A Boat from
ilurntisland in the course of the clAy brought in
herrings to the value of 361. sterling; another
Boat went out on the same day, and returned in
,the space of twelve hours, with herrings to 'the
amount of 451. sterling; at the rate of 265. 3d.
per cran. The.first boat was manned with four
men, the second with six.

About half' past four o'clock on Friday morn..

attraatons, for last night it drew a very crowded
Audience. Keka LE, appeared, t be much im-
proved in health, and displayed the ithule-extent

The Pantomime gave ,place, to a more rational
Entertainment, and, indeed, unless they can con_
trive to shut up the trap-doors, and support the
clouds without sending in men in livery-to hqld
them up, the Town would not buiilr if it should
not be resumed. • •

CooKE's Richard had last night its usual suc-
cess, that .of filling the House with a.very-
spetiable Audience, and of gratifying that Au-,
dience.very- highly. We have so often spoken of
the merits of this Performer, that it is unnecessary
here -to repeat our observations.
The Pantomime was a high treat to those who'

EDINDURGR,--)AN. 8.

ON Sunday evening we had' a violent gale of
wind from 'the S. W. which continued all that
night and the whole of Monday. In town a deal
of damage was done to the roofs of hoases, &c.
and a stack of chimnies belonging to -a house in
the Castlehill was blown down, and falling upon
the roof, it forced its way through one floor,
and came with a dreadful crash into the second, ,
where several men were at work, all of whom
happily escaped, except one, who unfortunately
was much bruised, and- lies dangerouily ill. In
the different streets and lanes of the City; several
people were hurt by the falling of Lyles, brick
bats, &c. but we are. happy to say, that so far as
we learn, no person has been seriously injured.
Some ,Vessels in Leith Roads had great difficulty
in riding out the storm. After dragging their
anchors a considerable way, one was forced to
cut away her masts, and signals of distress were
flying the whole of Monday, but no assistance
could be given... We arc, !towel, er, happy to
learn, that what we have now stated, is all the
damage they have sustained. We are. appre_
hensive of'oaelancholy tidings from the Western
Coast.

At. Glasgow a great many chimney tops suffer-
ed from .the severity of the gale. One of the
oldest trees' in the green, and the temporary
wooden building in Ingram-street, containing
the Panorama of the burning of the Boyne, were
blown down.

Saturday lasi, about two o'clock P. M. as
the long boat belonging to an American Ship,
riding in Leith Roads, was on the passage for
the Harbour, with the Captain, Mate, two Sail.
ors, an Excise and.Custom.house Officer, a suf.!_
lien squall cattle' on, and she`overset. The Cue-
tem.house Officer, who has bin one, hand, was
driven a considerable distance from the boat, to
which,. with her keel uppermost, the other tive
clung. . Captain Slits Ls of the Safeguard, Gun.
boas, then in the Roads, observing the accident,
immediately manned his boat, and. sent her to
their assistance, and she soon dame up with, the
persona who had got on the' keel. The Captain,
how ever, called out to them to go and save the
old.,mao,at a-distance in the first place, who pro-
videntially laid ,hold of an oar that was passing
him. They did so, and ..afterwards returned
to the boat, and brought the whole six saafe into
lAth.
From Leith we hear, that a Red-herring house
has been stopped- from going on, in curing, by
an interdict from the,Court of Session, ,on corn.
plaint of its 'being a nuisance, on the 3d of this
month.

From Eurntisland we learn, the price of her,
rings hack fallen ou Saturday to twenty-one &bil-
lings per crap.

Tit r. bounteous and providential supply of Her-
rings, with which the Friths ot, Forth and Tay
abound, has reached this part of the COast
in.abOut a fortnight past. From the Bay of Nig
to, Colliston the sea resembles a sheet of ice, such
are the imuwnse numbers of> that valuable fish
which offer themselves to be taken. Only three
or four boats are as yet employed in this fishery,
and though manned by six men each; they have
but three nets to a boat, instead, of twelve,
which they.onght to haver—so that all that a
boat can catch, does not exceed six barrels a
week. .We Are sorry to add, tha't such is the
scarcity of Salt in thisplace at present,' that
hardly so much is to be had as is absolutely ne-
cessary for culinary purposes ; and we are thus
unfortunately' debarred from prnfitirg, ac
might, otherwise do, IT irm proffered boon of
heaven.
