the illiatuity of fish caught on the northern Coasts,
and in the rivers of Northumberland, last week, has
exceeded all precedent in the memory of man. Or.
Thursday sehowght there were upwards of ten thou-
sand salmon in Berwick market, which had been
caught in the Tweed, some of which might have bees
bought it 2s each. At the same time the finest her-
ring% of whioh an immense shoal is now on the coast,
were sold for 2s..flie hundred, of six score.- On the
.7' seine di*, • the best salmon was sold in Newcastle
barker it 6d. per lb. and some of the inferior kinds,
we Are informed.- were told as low as 4d. •
At the late Greenland fishery, the harpooner's of
,• one of the Aberdeen-ships struck a fish, but Owing to
- bad weathertoeuing on, were obliged to cut and leave
• her, with theharpoons and lines. Next day they struck
another, add who should this be but their old friend,
k with their tackling. Another storm came on, when
• they were obliged to cUrand leave all a second time.
• The following day the identical fish, unwilling to part
with them, came up at their bow, groaned piteously,
and in half An hour was secured.
Among the great number of Whales which have
been killed this season in the Greenland' seas, one
taken by . the British Queen, of Newcastle, Captain
. Bistienign, Was very. remarkable. 13oth its jaw. bones,
'rum some great violence, had undergone a complete
fracture, and were again perfectly united in the 'Usual
manner. .• The bones now lie at Shields, and afford
one of the best specimens of that peculiar restorative
process of Nature on the animal economy.
The first ships from India in the open trade, under
the new Charter, roily he expected very soon. Several
were in course of outfit at •Bomhay in March last.
It will be; seen by an Adtertisement in a rreeeding
Inge, that the Duns of WELLINGTON Packet, of New-
have*, hitherto advertised to sail from that port for
France, is DOW to sail, in fine weather, regularly from
Brighton, on Moseley Evenings. This alteration has
originated on aec"ut.t of Tuesdays interfering with
the day of the Eliza, Captain LIND, who has been
Than years Master of a Packet from Brighton. The
Owners of the WELLINOTON, in order to avoid doing
Capt in LIND an injtiry, hive handsomely agreed to
the alteration in question. There are now Packets
from Brighten every day in the week. The superior
vessels are the Dom of WeLLINGTorr, ELIEA, 14100
wits, NIIPTIJNE, and FtviNc-etsir, which sail regularly
after the arrival of tlia London coaches.
Some dais ago, a person, with warrants, arrived
at .tlie Oid Ship Iron, Brighton, in quest of Mrs.
;Rogers, .Dr. Bowen, &c. in consequence of the sus-
picoms wt ich had arisen, on a Coroner's Inquest,
respecting the new. horn infant that was found in the
River Thames, on the 22,1 ult. near to Strand-on-the
Green, Rew Bridg,-.—The visit, however, was an in•
effectual nm., fir Mrs. Rogers, Dr. Bowen, and Mrs.
Bewen, their mulatto servant, &c. embarked in the
is 2 iza packet, Captain LIND, on Tuesday se'nnight,
ii. and had a speedy passage to France. The party ar-
ilrived at the Old Ship, ahnut ten o'clock, in the mil-n-
-ing of Tuesday, and sailed, as above-stated, on the
same evening.
