The Toulonnais states that the total number of
vessels, of all nations, which entered the ports of the
French possessions in the North of Africa during 1838

ber 914 were under the French flag ; 1.324 were coasters
belonging to the ports themselves ; 379 Spanish ; 286
Neapo!itan ; 201 Tuscan ; 53 English ; and 2 American.
A tragical event occurred, on the 22d ultimo,
during the voyage of the Jenne Matilde, from Havre to
Guadaloupe. On the day following her departure, a
man named Pinaud, after having thrown a plank over-
board, jumped into the sea, The Captain immediately
sent a boat with two men to pick him up, but
he had no sooner entered the boat than he drew his
knife, and falling upon one of those who had gone to
his rescue stabbed him in the arm. The man, to save
himself, jumped overboard, when Pinaud attacked the
other, and stabbed him three times. The Captain of the
vessel was only able with difficulty to save the wounded
man, and secure Pinaud, who was immediately taken on
board the vessel, and put in irons. As there had been no
quarrel or any other cause for the act, it is supposed that
he was acting under the impulse of insanity.
THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—
With the
exception of Tipperary and-Mayo, the accounts from ever
part of the country are deplorable, as regard the condition
of the standing, or, rather, the prostrate corn. For the
last twenty-four hours, the barometer has steadily marked
" changeable," though Sunday blew a gale, and the rain
in the vicinity of Dublin has been descending without in-
termission. The Liffey is swollen, and the Dodder is
rising rapidly, circumstances that show the rain is not, as
we might have hoped, local. Nevertheless, we have not
been without gleams of sunshine, and the thermometer
indicates sixty-four. But in the present predicament of
the wheat crop, this heat is as disastrous as wet—operating
together, they are ruinous. We really do not feel justified
in using a milder epithet. As far as it has gone, the
weather is exactly like that of 1816-17, and our memory
serves very accurately on the point. The crops in Ireland
are decidedly worse off than they were this time twelve-
month. This is rather a gloomy picture. We should say,
however—though irreparable injury has been done to the
wheat—that tolerable harvest weather from this out would
secure to Ireland not an abundant, perhaps not an average
crop, but a pretty tolerable one of other grain—and, above
all, the potatoes, of which an abundant yield would be
secured. Much more rain will damage even these irre-
srievably.—Dublin Post._

A meeting was held at Littlehampton, on the
sd init., to consider the best mode of preventing the en-
croachments of the sea, and of raising the means for car-
rying the same into effect. Mr. Watkins attended on the
Dart of the Duke of Norfolk, and intimated that his Grace
•otlld •• half of the expense, the inhabitants would
wPor-
subscribe the other half. A Committee was appointed,
and a subscription opened, to which names were imme-
diately attached for about 1301. The expense is estimated
at 1,2001.—.Brighton Gazette.
