By the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Lott com-
mander, we have advices from New York to the
29th ult. She has brought 139 passengers, and
$591,082 in specie on freight. The Asia passed
the following vessels :—" On the 29th, at 3.40 p.m.,
the steamer Afica, hence, and ships Uhland,
American Union, and Instrinsic for New York ;
and on the Bth inst., the screw steamer Taurus,
hence for Boston. The steam-ship Baltic arrived at
New York on the 26th ult.
The deaths in New York during the week ending
the 25th ult. were 571, or 232 more than the pre-
vious week. The excessive heat caused a great
many deaths.
Her Majesty's frigate Leander sailed from New
York for Halifax on the 25th. Shortly before
sailing one of her boats was sent ashore, with eight
men, in charge of a midshipman, to bring off stores.
While at the wharf four of the men deserted ; the
other four preferred remaining. The midshipman
attempted to prevent their desertion, but a crowd
of bystanders threatened to throw him into the
dock if he left the boat.
The Leander would remain at Halifax till the 3d
of August, when Lord Ellesmere and suite would
join her there, and return to England.

The St. John's Ledger publishes gie following
communication :rem St. George's D:.y.
" I take the first °ppm amity to inform you that the
French cutter has assumed the exclusive right of the
fisheries here, and has driven all the English sehconers
out of the bay, which were about forty in number.
They were forbidden to take any fish on board
a:Ler the cutter bad arrived, and many were driven
out and not allowed to take up their nets that
were in the water, and their boats and herrings that
were in them were taken from them, and the schooners
compelled to go out of the bay with a strong head wind ;
and some, that returned on account of the heavy sea
and wind, were fired into by the cutter ; and, when they
returned were compelled to go out without dropping
anchors. We do not know how to act in the matter,
having no authority from the Government, nor even the
treaty to govern us ; but you may depend upon it, it
made the English blood chi'l to see the French humbling
and driving the English, to the number of 40 vessels,
out of the bay, and firing into them, &c. I was for-
bidden to take herrings on board my schooners. I had
four lying here. One of them I had was loaded with
967 barrels ; the others I cannot load in bulk, which
will be considerable loss to me and the inhabitants.
They allow us to 'make' otir hearings on shore, but rret
to put any on board the schooners. I called on the
French commodore, and he told me we might thank or
b'ame Tobin for all this, for stopping the French from
fishing on the Labrador coast last season, and that their
Government had order-'d them to stop the English in
every place where they has a tight of fishery. lam
informed that the inhabitants in Cod Bay have been
stopped for Leveral days _ -ern fishing by the French
cutter. If they have the exclusive right to the fishery;
it is more than we are aware 07. We always, have been
informed that the treaty only granted them the right to
the fishery in common with the English, but they now
assume the exclusive right to the fishery, and have
taken it at the mouth of the cannon."
Jamaica advices of the 22d ult. state that the

ton had all declined the honour of donning the er-
mine. In this dilemma, it was said an express
messenger of no less authority than his Excellency's
Military Secretary had been dispatched to tender
the vacant seat first to Mr. Chairman Farquharson,
and then to Mr. Chairman Moncrieffe. Mr. Far-
quharson accepted the post. There had been 94
convictions and fines, and 135 punishments of a
minor description, under the Treasury order of
England for the adulteration of coffee with chicory;
and in the course of one day (9th June) 33 convic-
tions had taken place in the city. Many of the con-
victions were for evasions attempted by the printing
on wrappers. The Excise had confined the penalties
to small amounts, some 51. or 6/. in each case.
The yellow fever was not so prevalent as previ-
ously reported. The weather continued favourable,
and the young canes were looking well. Shipping
was very scarce at Jamaica, and high rates of freight
could be obtained.

FATAL THUNDER-STORM.---BRISTOL, July B.—Last
night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a tremendous thun-
der-storm, accompanied by a perfect deluge of rain, burs t
over this city. The storm was not of lengthened dura-
tion, but very violent while it lasted, the flashes of
lightning being almost incessant and very vivid. Infor-
mation was received here this afternoon that a poor old
man, named James Flazell, 70 years of age, and a stock-
ing-weaver by trade, residing at Bedminster, near this
city, had been struck dead by the electric fluid. He was
picked up at his own door quite dead. The information
has been forwarded to the coroner, Mr. J. B. Grindon,
who will hold an inquest on the body. Some damage
has been done in the neighbourhood to garden lights
and frames ; but, beyond the above, no intelligence of
any other serious accident has reached us.

YELLOW FEVER AT JAMAICA..We regret to find by
the last mail that yellow fever to some extent prevaiiis
amongst the troops stationed at Up-Park Camp, Jamaica ;
the Serjeant-Major of the 3rd West India Regiment has
already fallen a victim to the disease.
EXHIBITION IN BERLIN.—The Berlin papers announce
that it is the intention of the Prussian Government to
hold next year, in Berlin, a general Exhibition of the Arts
of Germany. The plan is to assemble the most remark-
able works and products which have appeared within
the last five and twenty years—a period which goes back
to the revival of German Art. The various German
States will shortly be invited to co-operate. —A thenceum.
OVERFLOWING OF THE WYE.—Tor the third time
within the last twelve months, Hereford and the ad-
joining counties of Brecon, Radnor, and Salop have
been visited with terrible disasters by the overflowing of
the Wye and its tributary streams. Early on Friday
morning thunder storms of an alarming nature,
accompanied by torrents of rain, occurred in
the neighbourhood of Ledbury, Ross, and other
parts of _Herefordshire, where it raged for some hours with
unabated violence. At Dymock where the embankments o f
the Hereford and Gloucester Canal are higher than at any
other point, the banks gave way, literally inundating the
village and country for miles around, doing serious damage
to the crops, and bearing away various property in its
course. The canal has been so much damaged that some
months must elapse before the traffic can be again resumed.
On Friday night the valleys were literally deluged by the
overflowing of the mountain streams, which were swollen
by the heavy rains accompanying the thunder-storm.
Cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs were swept from its banks ;
trees were torn up, and hay and other property carried
along. The villa residence of Mrs. Lawrence, at Aberddw,
near Builth, with five inmates, was washed com-
pletely away. The roads in the neighbourhood of Builth
have been flooded to an extent which rendered them alto-
gether impassable and the mail was delayed about two
hours. In Brecon the bridge over the river Honddu,
at the point of junction with the Usk, has been carried
away, and several other bridges seriously injured. The
town was also flooded, and many of the houses were
completely gutted.
