LOSS OF THE ISABELLA, OF ABERDEEN.
Advices were received at Lloyd's this morning from their
agent, the British Vice-Consul at that port, informing them
of the loss of the above ship. It appears that the barque
Isabella, Captain Leask, of and from Aberdeen, in ballast,
and bound to St. John's, New Brunswick, sprung a leak,
which filled her full of water, and caused her to heel over on
her beam ends, thus obliging the masts to be cut away to
partially right her. In this perilous condition, having
.lost all their boats, and nearly all the fresh
water and provisions which were stowed in the
hold, they remained for seventeen days, keeping the 'vessel
aflbat by the emplOyment of bUckets, their pumps being
choked. Exhausted with continued fatigue and privation,
and redUced for quenching their thirst to the only fresh
water that fell from the clouds, they would inevitably have
perished had not Providence sent to their relief the Spanish
brig Trasmerano, Capt. Pola, who was boun d from Havannah to
Santander, and having discovered them bore down upon
them, and sending his boats to the wreck received them on
board (seventeen in number), where they remained sixteen
days, when they were landed at Santander, during which
time they received from the Spanish captain and his crew the
most kind, humane, and generous conduct.

In the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, M. Dozon
brought forward his proposition for preventing, by fine and
imprisonment, the practice of duelling, and asked the
Chamber to appoint a day for his bringing the matter before
it formally. The Minister of Justice opposed the proposition,
on the ground that the common law was sufficient for all the
purposes which the Hon. Deputy sought.

mission sitting at Ravenna had condemned to death three

The Semaphore de Marseilles contains a letter from Con-
stantinople of the Bth inst., stating that the affairs of Greece
continued to occupy the Divan. Chekib Effendi had lately
addressed a note to the representatives of the three protecting
Powers, in which he set forth the complaints of Turkey
against Greece, and declared that if the latter continued to
menace the peace of the neighbouring Ottoman provinces,
the Porte would be under the necessity of adopting energetic
measures and stationing corps of observation atolls, the Greek
frontier. This note was forwarded to the Ministers of Eng-
land, France, and Russia in Athens, by whom it was sub-
mitted to the Hellenic Government. Coletti gave the three
Ministers the most satisftctory explanations, which con-
vinced them that the apprehensions of the Porte were un-
founded. _ _

it is said, to be concentrated at Sebastopol and Stavropol, to
operate by sea and by land.

This being the season for the introduction of the summer
fashions from Paris, the steamers from the Continent
are bringing a very large quantity of silk and fancy goods
over, of every character, value, and description, for the
supply of the shops of the metropolis, and to enable them
to put, forth an attractive show of novelties usual at this
time of year. The great influx of these articles lately has
had the effect of causing a great deal of business to be going
forward at the quays and warehouses adjoining the Custom-
house, and the'revenne officers, who, from their greater capa-
city or more extensive knowledge of the value of these va-
riable descriptions of merchandise, are placed on these sta-
tions, have been very fully employed.
