ral others rc-commissioned in this harbour.

The paid-off seamen are beginsing to re-enter on the
peace establishment, and.they.bave the privilege of chusing
their own ships; for which purpisse regulating Officers are
stationed at Leith, Shields, Hull, London, Liverpool, Bris-
tol,D.ublin, and Cork, who are to receive volunteers, and for-
ward them to the ports Whore the ships are fur which they
may enter ; and we t.nderstand that their request pit that
bead will on no.account be deViated from. The pensiobs for
seamen lately granted by the Admiralty, will, be a very mate-.
vial inducement for them to tender their services, as every
year's ervice will add to their prOvision for old age, and ren-
der it, in a short period, a very coMforfatile maintenance.

horses and black cattle have been shipped at Do 7
nagLadee for Portpatrick.during the last week ;
and the blithe countenances of the cattle mer-
chants, oh their arrival from, the English and.
Septet, markets, indicate pleasant sensations in
`their late adventures to the' sister kingdom, and
seem to impire the present shippers with the most
isanguinc,hopesof the prospects now before them.

We 'are, gratified to..state that on Thursday
'el,cening last, the Pilchard Scans in Mount's-bay
enclosed a considerable quantity,
,of fish ; upwards
of a thousand hogsheads were taken. From 'the
lateneSs of the season, serious apprehensions were
entertained .by the Adventurers of their sustaining
heavy loSses. A few hundred hogsheads of pil-
chards have been taken in the neighbourhood. of
'acme, but we have not heard of any catches in.
the North Channel.--(Cornwall Ger;ette.)
