GREENOCK. AWATST 24,

The Whole of the Jamaica fleet for Clyde is now
arrived, except the Helen, 14,1C.rxirty, for this port,
The Retrieve, LYON, from Jamaica to Belfast, parted
from the fleet the 14th instant. The Union packet,
MgEwiso, of Port Glasgow, from Surinam, was at
Alexandria (America) on the 20th of July, and pro-
posed to return home via Halifax. On Sunday sal'
night, as the Lady Hill was going into Ayr harbout
she got entangled with the south dyke, and received
so much damage that she sunk in the harbour.

has been taken, retaken, and carried into Halifax.
The Live Oak, YORLELL ; Martin, Lose; and JeF

There is something remarkable in the names of the
vessels which the Americans send to Europe on their
state missions. It has already been remarked in an
American paper, that the rejection of the treaty of com-
merce was brought to England by then/ash butthe tri-
bute-money to France by the Bee. After that time they
sent us an angry message by the Hornet. After the
disagreeable business of the Chesapeake frigate, they
send the Revenge to demand satisfaction. We hear
now that they are beginning to use vessels of milder
and more conciliating names, and that it is the Hope
which is coming to Europe to endeavour to arrange
matters with this country and France.

At Tpswich Lamb Fair, en Monday last, there was
by far the greatest quantity of lambs that can be re-
membered for eight years past, so that it was at least
three o'clock before the fair could properly be con#
sidered as set ; notwithstanding which, the number of
buyers were so very considerable, and the sellers being
disposed to comply with reduced prices, a very un-
precedented quantity of lambs were sold a: ap abate-
ment of 2s. in the pound, from the prices of last year,
during the afternoon. Generally speaking, the lambs
were not ir. so good condition as they were then, but
such .= were in good condition were bought up with
the greatest avidity. The polled lambs seemed still
to bear the preference.
Bampton fair yesterday was, as usual, numerously
attended ; there was a great show of horses, prime
ones sold well, inferior ones very dull. The light.
fingered tribe laid several farmers and graziers under
heavy contributions, &c.

The watering places seem to have very opposite
effects on the health of the visitors—some of whom
frequent them in order to relax, and others to Gran'
