LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.—The Pilot Fish, with
advices from Bahia to the Ist of March, and from Rio
de Janeiro to the 15th of February, has arrived.

Rio de Janeiro and Bahia. At Bahia it was getting
worse, and during the last fortnight had taken off
great numbers.

At Rio de Janeiro the demand for coffee was dull
at previous quotations. The demand for manufactured
goods was dull in consequence of the fever.

Sixteen human skeletons, of apparently full-grown
persons, have lately been discovered in a field belonging to
Mr. William N'igar, of Upton, in the parish of Long
Sutton,
by a man employed in cutting a ditch. They appeared to
have been buried in nearly a straight line, ranging from
north to south, and they were laid in cavities about three
feet in depth, cut in solid rock at irregular distances from
each other. It is but a few years since that several human
bones were discovered in a field about two hundred yards
from this spot. There can be no doubt of their being the
remains of some bold but unfortunate warriors, who fell,
probably, in battle centuries ago, but on what occasion his-
tory does not record.—Bath Chronicle.

INFLUX OF SHIPPING. The large number of 129
vessels reported at the Custom-house on Saturday last as
having arrived from foreign
and distant parts with cargoes
of general merchandise; and 56 vessels also reported on
Monday as having arrived in the port of London from abroad.
These numerous arrivals comprised some not only from almost
every continental port of Europe, but also from the East and
West Indies and South America,and some with various descrip-
tions of merchandise from every' quarter of the globe. The
arrivals have lately, in consequence of the prevalence of
easterly winds, been in a great measure limited to steamers
from the continental states of Europe, with French, German,
and other produce; and to vessels with grain, Sm.. from
those and the adjoining
states; and this sudden influx of
shipping from all parts of the world will hays the effect of
giving the required impetus to the import trade of this vast
metropolitan port, and create a great deal of bustle at the
docks and other places at the water-side.
