SHIPPING AND *Col\lllER'ea

.'There were about 306 ships cleared of their
cargoes in'the Weer, (iring
.rite last mouth, or
which 39 were , from Portugal, Spain, and the
south of 14urope; friffn Bourdeaux, Opoito.;
and TeNerifie. having each wore than 20 pipes of
wine On bdard ; 135 from the notch, Ilussian; and
northern parts ; 12 from Waterford, Belfast, and
other Irish ports ; 17 from the French coast, and
25 from the South and North American ports ;
a few East Indiatnen,,sonie from Africa, and se-
veral coasting vessels from Liverpool, h ull, &c.
are to be added to the total number. It is coal-
dently believed, by many- well-informed persons
of commercial kimwiedge, that the Cape it
Good Hope will prove (me of the most yak-
able colonies to Great Britain. Some of the wines
produced there (and 'v hie,* the British ma-
nufactures are talieu in exchange) are of an ex..
celleut duality ; the cost and importation into this
country of what is generally called the Cape wine,
'amounts to about 325. 6d. per dozen. Tile wines
of Teneritfe are also improving considerahly
quality, and bid fair in a few years to tival those
of Madeira. The vintage of Tenerifle varies front
.20,009 to 24,000 pipes,,, of which .ncatly the half
exported. There is 'a great falling off in tho
exportation front Oporto to the tiuglish ports;
forwerly 50,000 pipes of. wine were annually itu;.
inirted hitt, jhis country ; sat present, the ycarly
average is not mare: than 24,000. The wine mea-
sures of the aint!' cut countries are of dilferent, va-

HORRIALE A N ItCllOTe.47-:NO SOldier4, named
Gratonta Murphy, belonging to the tioth regi-
ment, were. tried on the 1 ltb ult. at the Court
House,' Halifax, and found guilty of the twofer.
of Captain Westinaeott, of the Royal Staff Corps
(the particulars of which appearid in our paper
a few weeks ago). They Were both Roman Ca-
tholics, and were attended by a clergyman of that
persuasion. M'Graw scarcely spoke ; but Mut-
pby persisted that he did not commit4the murder.
On their being turned off, the rope meant to sus-
pend'hfurphy brOlre ; be recovered, and walked
about until TVl'tiraw had bin his time, when an-
other; executioner Wai procured, on he was
launched into eternity.
f3x.ntaToNs.--,We hear that dose to the Glebe
Holt se of Altannee, in the Queen's County, the re-
sidence of the Rev. T. UL Kearney, there hut been
just discovered, in getting gravel' from it pit,
three skeletnni, of a giguntit size, one enormous
skull, with the teeth quite perfect, arid not far
from thence, breast-platea for horses, with sharp
points 'like bayonets, and other warlike relics.
They would indicate that some great battle had
beets fought there, in former ages, of which tiro
llav'e no tradition.
