, IMPORTANT TO MARINERS.
The following particularly claims the notice of those en-
gaged in the trade of Quebec and its vicinity :
Extract of a letter from a Captain of the Royal Navy, dated
Island of Cape Breton, 13th May, 1822 :—" It frequently hap-
pens,
that a ship bound from England to Quebec, strikes sound-
ings on the banks of Newfoundland,and shapes her course thence
to pass between Cape North on this island, and Cape Key on
Newfoundland, into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, without seeing
the land, which is hid in fog, and, unable to make a proper
allowance for a current that sometimes runs at the rate of four
miles an hour, is swept away to the westward, and runs with
a leadin4 wind on our iron-bound shores, when her com-
mander fancies he is steering directly into the gulf—a misfor-
tune that is too often announced by the bodies of the unhappy
mariners, and the fragments of their vessels, with which our
shores are strewed. should be made known, that there is
a settlement in Aspry Bay, to the southward and westward
of Cape North ; as, for want of this information, many an un-
fortunate seaman has perished from cold and hunger, after
escaping shipwreck ; andthat vessels of any draught of water
may safely anchor all round the island, as wind and weather
may require. The :soundings at half to three quarters of a
mile are 7 and 8 fathoms. On the south-east as well as on the
north-west side of the island, is a cove where boats may land
and water be procured."
EXtract of a letter from Quebec, dated Ist of June, 1822:
" From 27 years' experience in this trade, no vessel ought to
sail from Great Britain or Ireland after the 10th of September
for the river St. Laurence, if they intend to return before the
close of the navigation."

WEST INDIA TRADE.-The following extract
from the Commercial Circular of a citizen of Ilam-
burgh will show the probable operation of the
recent Acts of Parliament with regard to the
West India trade :—" The trade from the West
Indies to every part of the continent being now
open, many goods will be shipped from thence
direct to Hamburgh, Bremen. &c., and the trade
in the interior of Germany, Prussia, Russia, &c.,
will be supplied with coffee, sugar, rum, and
other Colonial produce, at a much cheaper rate
than formerly, when they were obliged to go to
the English Market. Considering this circum-
stance, many merchants trading to the West In-
dies, or proprietors of plantations, may be induced
to establish houses in Hamburg for the better
disposal of their produce."

Extract of a letter dated Lequeitin (near Bil-
boa,) July 17:—" With regard to news, I do
not venture to say more to you than that yester-
day there were 70 or 80 rebels in Marquina ;
bu,t I understand they do not interfere with any
one. Here we have a detachment of 25 soldiers
of the regiment of Seville, who are in quarters at
the Municipality house."

At twelve o'clock on Thursday night, Letitia Gorman in-
formed the watchman who stands at the corner of Cuffe-
street, Stephen's-green, that there was a dead child inside
the chains, on the walk of the Green. The watchman brought
the woman and the body to the watch-house, in Clarendon-
street ; a card was tied round the feet of the child, a new
born male infant. It was black when found. The usual
communication was made to the Coroner, Alderman Jones,
who held an inquest on the body' yesterday, at one o'clock,
The Jury found a verdict, " that the child came by its death
from some person or persons unknown."—( Dublin Freeman's
Journal.)

CAUTION.—A merchant of Enniskillen was
lately fined 1501. in consequence of using wrong receipt stamps,
information having been given to the Commissioners. On in-
vestigation, however, the fine was remitted, it appearing that
the stamps were procured by mistake, and without the remotest
intention of defrauding the Stamp Office.

A female pauper of Ilardley, in Dorsetshire,
was on Thursday last delivered of three female
illegitimate children, who have been baptized by
the names of Faith, Hope, and Charity.
The imprisonment of Mr. WOOLER, for the
part which he took in the well-known election
of a legislatorial attorney at Birmingham, ex-
pired yesterday, and consequently he was libe-
rated from our county prison. He was accom-
panied from the gaol by Sir'C. WOLSELEY, who,
we understand, presides at a dinner which Mr.
WOOLEIt'S friends -at Birmingham propose to
give him on Monday next, in honour of his
liberation.—( Warwick Advertiser; July 27.)
