PLAGUE AT GAZA, &c.

A Mail arrived yesterday 'from Malta. We re-
gret. to have to state that the letters by it confirm
a report, previously in circulation, of the re-ap-
pearanc,-e of the Plague in the Isle of Goza. The
fOlowing- extract of- a letter, dated the 26th of
March, gives a more detailed account than any
that we have seen upon this subject :

" I had indulged the pleasing idea of the plague
being completely exterminated from these islands,
with the exception of the Lazaretto, and that our
trade and communication with Sicily and the
Continent would return to its, old channel, with
those-additional advantages which the successes
of thlAllies gave us. These hopes have most
unforalnately proved, fallacious, as that dreadful
'malady has made its appearance in the Island of
Goza. A man, a native of Canal Curmi (which is
now a Lazaretto), at the commencement of the
plague in that casal or village, buried a box in the
country, at some distance from the casal, contain-
ing clothes and other articles. After he had finished
hissquarantine: about the end of February, he dug
up the -box, and carried it to Cioza, where his
daughter resided with her husband. The man
died rather -suddenly, without any appearance' of
plague or suspicion. A few days afterwards his
daughter died also, and an alarm wo spread.—
The intercourse hetWeen the two islands was in-
stantly interdicted ;,the Civil Government was
superseded by the Military, a cordon
__Was drawn
round the cosal (Cassia), and every precaution
taken to prevent its spreading, and hitherto the .
infection is confined to that casal. I have not
teeeived the yet urns since the 2E3d instant ; to that
day they were, as follo-vs _

". The plague has also made its appearance at
Damiettl, which the Bashaw has caused to be
surrounded by a.cordon of troops.-;--At Alexandria
awl Tunis all vessels coming from Malta are ob-
liged to perform 40 days quarantine,"

.On FrickK 26,waggons, belonging to the Royal
Waggem Wain, proceeded'with money from the
Bank of Englandjo POrtsthouth, for the purpose
.of paying off' a certain propoition of the Navy.
A siuguiar circumstance occurred in February
la'st at St. Vincent. . A Gentleman named Whit-
low, sailing in a boat at night from the leeward
part of the island. to Kingston, and sitting in the
stern sheets, a large shark that had followed
made at length a spring at his intended victim,
knorl-,ed off his bat, but, at the same time,lell
into the boat. The Gentlemen, with great pre-
sence of mind, immediately jumped. up, and se-
clizT,d the voracious monster with a cloak and
amne bandages. it measured 12 feet, and was of
enormous. weight.,

On Saturday last GEORGE BLACKMAN, Esq. Ci-
tizen' and Goldsmith, paid•his fine of 4001. and 20
