A letter received yesterday from St. Helena
mentions that the late hurricane, which had been
experienced with such desolating consequences
in the Mauritius, had extended a considerable
distance to the eastward ; and fears were enter-
tained that the accounts would prove severe
losses to have taken place iu that quarter.
The post of Ambassador from Spain to this
country, which has been for a long time vacant,
has been filled up by the arrival of Don Francisco
de Zea Bermudez in that character. This gentle-
man's last employment by his Government was the
embassy to Constantinople,
at which city he was
the successor of Admiral Jabat. M. Bermudez
was originally appointed for the mission to
Petersburgh, and was ou his way to the Rus-
sian capital when he received orders to take
up his residence as Minister at London. His
arrivel was whelly unexpected by the members
of the Spanish legation, who had not received any
previous intimation of his appointment. The
sole cause why his functions have been so long
left vacant has been the poverty of the Spanish
Court, pay the first year's

no one would
accept the appointment to a country where the
scale of living is so expensive among persons of
rank.--(Times.)
The accounts from Scotland and Yorkshire
state, that moor game is in greater plenty this season than for
several years back. The sportsmen of the South are preparing
the action even at this distance of tune; and the gun-makers
and the manufacturers of patent shot are, consequently, fully
occupied.
An English sailor, called Commodore O'Brian,
entered the port of Calais alone, at six o'clock in
the evening of the sth instant, in a little boat,
sloop rigged, of not more than a quarter of a ton.
He had sailed from Dover at eleven o'clock on the
same day.
To convey some notion of the danger
of passing the Strait in such a vessel, it is sufficient
to mention that it is little more than five feet
nine inches long, two feet 11 inches wide, and
one foot four inches deep. This sailor has already
lost one vessel of the Same size, with which he
had made several voyages ; it is said that, to
compensate him for that loss, his Britannic Ma-
jesty gave him the boat which he now navigates..
