—touched at St. Helena, . and left that island on the

curred under the. following circumstances :—The Spy
was standing into the coa st near Loangs„ and per-
ceiied a steamer at anchor off a noted place for slaves ;
it was in the evening, any % when the Spy got near
her, it was nearly dark, an fl the Espadon was getting
under weigh fut the purpos-e, it was supposed on board
the Spy, of escaping, and t hat she was a slaver. The
Espadon did nol.see the S py, and was merely pro-
ceeding down the coast whe p the Spy fired her shell
gun over her ; the Espad cm returned the shot, and
three or four guns were fire d from each vessel before
the mistake was discovered; fortunately no one was
hurt ; but the Spy had her foretopsail sheet cut away,
and no less than 13 grape: shot through her fore
stay-sail. The French vessel bad only some rope aloft
cut away Lieutenant-Con :amender Western, after
the business was over, went on board the French
vessel, and a mutual explanati on was perfectly satis-
factory to both parties. The 13 py proceeded yesterday
evening to Chatham, to pay of F. ,

SHIP NEWS.
IMPORTANT TO MARINTMS.
Gla'sgow, Nov. 7,
Captain Henderson, of the Chaucer., arrived here from
the Mauritius, reports that on the 27th of October, at
noon, in lat. 42 deg. 41 min. N., long. 28 deg. 45 min. 30
sec. W., the sea being much agitated and the water dis-
coloured, at two o'clock P.m. tried the soundings, and
got bottom at forty-eight fathom s. The ship having
gone eight miles N. by W., at four o'clock P.m. sounded,
and found gronnd at fifty fathoms„ hard, rocky bottom,
in, by sights taken, lat. 43 deg. 49 min. N., long. 29 deg.
4 min. 15 fee. W. This rocky bank must extend from
the southward, as the water was observed to be dis-
coloured at ten o'clock A.M., and appeared as if a current
was setting over it. Captain Henderson stares there can
be no doubt as to the existence of the bank, as the
chronometer was quite accurate, by sights taken off the
Island of Fayal.
