A WHALE AT FORT-GEORGE.—On Friday last, 000000 ..•
the inhabitants of Fort-George were thrown into a state of
excitement by the unwonted appearance of a monster of the
deep, which had got into shallow water in the Campbell- Pe
town bay, and was writhing his unwieldy proportions in order ! pc
to extricate himself. Boats from Campbelltown were imme-
diately under weigh, and directing their course to the scene of
t.pe
attra,tion ; but a little bark from the garrison, well manned Is
and armed with rifles, &c., was first on the spot, and suc-
ceeded, after desperate efforts and imminent risk, in throwing I ,'ln
a noose over his tail, and towing the monster to the beach of
e fart ; two of the victors bestrode his huge body, as he
Tag dragoed slowly along. The animal, which measured 20
feet 7 inches in length, and 11 feet 5 inches in circumference
was a grampus (the Delphinus Glohiceps of Cuvier, and D.
D,:ductor of Scoresby). Mr. Fletcher and Mr. J. Frasiu-
were very active in capturing the animal and bringing him
ashore. —lnverness Courier.
A lamentable event occurred in the night of the
30th ult., at Ulay, on the road between Fontainbleau and
Nemours. During a violent storm a water.spout fell, and
caused a torrent of such force that it undermined and threw
down house, inhabit. -d by n man and his wile. their mother
and brother, two of their children, and an infant from Paris,
which they had taken to nurse. The wife, her brother, and
one of the children were buried in the ruins; the rest escaped,
and by their cries aroused the Mayor of Gres, Count Adrien •
de Beaumont, and the whole of the inhabitants. Every possi-
ble exertion was immediately made to relieve the sufferers, but
upwards of an hour had elapsed when the brother was found
with his sister's child in his arms, h ,th dead It was not till
