From the Halifax papers, received to the 18th of June.
" PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND, CHARLOTTE TOWN.—
There Were 50 sail of American vessels in George Town
on Saturday last, all full laden with herrings, from Magdalen
Islands, and estimated to have on board 20,000 barrels.
They sailed on Sunday. American fishermen taken by
the Victory, nine in all. If this sort of thin.- goes on for
a year or two, old treaties will begin to look like living
records of mutual obligation."
The above papers arc filled with English news.

Sierra Leone and Monte Video ; Calcutta, Feb. 15.

—l7-016-thelalarliour the unfavourable accounts re-
ceived this morning from Birmingham, which will be found
in another part of the Paper, of riots, pillaging and firing
houses, has not had any effect on the funds.
The selling of the dead weight still continues to be the
general topic of conversation in the City ; the monied inte-
rest as well as the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, wished
to have some further explanation on the subject if a
part or the whole of it would be disposed of, in consequence
of which inquiry was made of the Cashier of the Bank, but
without any effect. To-morrow being the day, the bid-
dings are to take place, no doubt all
...particulars will be
made public.

We have very few arrivals this morning, consequently
there is a very great dearth of intelligence. The intelli-
gence from Monte Video is of an old date, ;6th April ;
the previous accounts were of May.

THE POOR.—The hoe is generally at work
amongst the crops in this neighbourhood, and there is
employment for all our labourers, and the wages given,
where they are expended with that economy the new Poor
Law is so well calculated to enforce, appear to meet their
necessities, as every able-bodied man, his wife and chil-
dren, may have work if they will seek it. The health of
the rural population, too, is represented as being unusually
good. ---Esser Herald.
