6C'UTIAy DATED JULY 1303.

" On this coast,, or between it and. New.
foOndland, lies an island, called Sale Island, as
fatal to mariners coming to Nova-Scotia, as the
Scilly Rocks to those bound to England. It: lies
very low ;- ir. banks extend into the sea many
leagues, and i 4 about' thirty miles long. Being
• uninhabited, it is astonishing that Goiveroment
never made ofretlual attempts to. place beacons
en ir, until within the last two year:, when an ad.'
vertisement appeared in the Public Papers, olTering
encouragement to any decent 'person or family to
settle on the island. One family accepted the,pro.,
posal, ;ma' were accordingly equipped with every.
necessary, and sent thither, with proper instruc.
.tiuns where to placelights to warn vessels, and
with boats, to give assistance to those who might
he unfortnnate enough to require it. What mus,t•
that little heroic family have felt, when cut Off en.
tirely from the world ! . Every body seemed alive
to their interest, and anxious to hear of them again.-
The first intelligence received was, that a ship' had;
been wrecked on the island; but, -by their assist_
ante,. the crew,' who had taken to the longboat,
were saved. Tin!), afterwards_ cut the long.boat
in tw•;), and, with the
.help of the settler, whosename is Morris, lengthened it, rigged it with some
sails from the ship's wreck, and in that little vessel
were so fortunate as to make this Port. Several ,
other ships have since been in similat-situations.--.
Morris anti his wife returned: to Halifax in spring
for a short tiine, but went back again. Too much
cannot be said in praise of their indefatigable exer.
tions. The Island abounds with seals and wild
horses; several of, thelat ter are at. present here, and
attempts are making to train them."

John Uavis, and I?obeit Fiiibardy; who were eSa.
mined some days since before the, Lotto MAYOR,
charged with attempting to get payment of a Bill
for 2501. which had been, stolen from a Gentleman
some time since on Fish.street Hill. A Gentleman
who keeps a shop 'in that neighbourhoodgave in evi.
dente, that he saw from his window this robbery take
place : that there were five pick-pockets round Mr,
1V we, who 'took his pocicet,lio4 frwn him, lint.
could not swear to. any of. the Prisoners being the.
men... The man who took it" he described, but the
descriptiOn did ,not correspond Willi the persons of
any of the Prisoners. The Prisoner Roberts said,
as before, 'hi had the note finial Davis,. merely as.
his agent to get it cashed for him, The Lotto
MAYOR, who was in possession of the charatter of
all the Prisoners, told Roberts he was sorry hi
could not do justice to the Public by committing
them all for trial, as he found a defea in the evi-
dence, but cautioned hint, to beware of his conned.
tions, or he must in time come to an untimely end.
Roberts thanked • his Lordship for his advice, Hitt
said, what was ; man to do who lost his charaner,
anti had nobody. to assist 'him. • Davis said, the
other prisonerFinhardy apOied to Itiin to get this
note discounted, and sent it whim at Cotterellis,
public house bear Roll's Buildings ; that he did'nOt
know the man who,gave it him ; that he ..stas in the
habit of getting notes discounted, and had notes Of
30001. entrusted to him. Finhardy' said; he had '
spoke to him about a note, but nevri had it in his
possession ; they were all discharged, but (Meets
were in waiting who arrested Davis and Roberts for
debt. Roberts was immediately taken to the Fleet
Prison, he being a Prisoner wlthin the Rules of that
prison when first taken up.

Qo Wednesday last a person of the name of George
Mathion Was apprehended in Cork by Sheriff

tance to a mercantile house' in that city, of the first
consideration, # bill for Sool. letter with the

cotton, ant1.4.0,00d staves, and ether Was
made by' Winthrop as an opening of commercial
intercourse, and that', he 'had draWn In' favour- of
George Williamson for gaol, ; the goods ,were said,
to be shipped on board the. brig Di:pa/Ch. The
circumstance of so large 'a quantity of goods being
shipped on so small a vessel, at. first attracted .oh.:
servation ; iu two hours after the receipt of'the
letter, the bill was presented, and suspicion was
.so strongly excited, that the man was watc!ied, and
traced to Mr. Lawson's. on the Parade, where he
was fouod passing a hill. for 2471. 4(1. purport.
ing to be drawn by Alexander Scott, Piarser of His
Majesty's Ship the Ulysses, .assiTrinidad, on the

seized, and kis pockets turned out, when other bills
were found, some purporting to be drawn by Thomas
Harrison,, of Trinidad, on John Lubbock, Esq. of
London, with a letter of credit for any amount
from the came Mr. Lubbock, on Messrs. Taber
and IVlaeLeller, of, Portland, or Williamson and
Stone, of Charlestown ; a bill Of lading . was also
found olio puncheons of rum and 20 hogsheads of
sugar,. Shipped by George Williamson himself, •-and
consigned to William Bally and Son, of. lit istOl :
in his pocket-book was found a copy of the letter,
dated CharlestOwn,. July 17, signed Joseph Win.
throp, and a certificate of Joseph Collier, who had
'served as Captain's Clerk, On board His Majesty's
ship L'Entrepenant.—George Williamson is about
five feet eight or nine inches highi blue eyes, high
shouldered, sandy complexion, his face much tanned
and a little marked with gunpowder ; he appears
to be about 32 years of age:. On being arrested
he seemed to be perfeetly indifferent, and made
use of several declarations 'which appeared, win.
dicate an utter contempt for any consequences what.
ever.

On Thursday an inquest was taken at Mansfield
by a Coroner's Jury, on view of the bodies of two
men, named Wainwright and Wood, who were ac.
cidcntally suffocated by what is termed the damp of
ar well, which the former was employed to sink for
Mr. C. Stanton, of that place. It appeared that about
six o'clock the,preceding morni9g, Wainwright was
let down into the well by his brother; he had however
scarcely got to the bottom before he was suffocated.
The brother at the top boon became alartned, and
