JERSEY, OCTOBER 12.—Provisions of every sort,
particularly meat, continue extravagantly dear ; po-
tatoes, carrcts, parsnips, apples, grapes and onions,
are exporting daily ; no less than fourteen brigs and
cutters are loading at St.Helier's, some at St. Aubin's
and the new port at Cowry. Butter is at Is Gd. per
pound, considered so high a price here, that the
firming people, and many families in town, use in
its stead roasted or baked apples spread on their
bread, at their breakfasts and their tea in the even-
ing ;it is certainly an excellent substitute. The
French crock butter sells for eleven pence the pound,
eggs 7d. a dozen, oysters lid. per hundred, and re-
tailed at 2d. the dozen. It is remarked, that for the
last twelve years there never appeared such numbers
of wasps as now swarm in the gardens and houses of
this island. The first rains that fell, after the conti-.
nued and violent heats of the summer, penetrated
into the grape-house, and the sudden damp had the
effect of destroying most of the rapes; this has been
felt in all the graperies in the island.
GUERNSEY, OcronEn l:).—The following melan-
choly accident happened near this place :—Tuesday
morning last, two men employed by the Trinity
House embarked from Guernsey for Alderney, in a
boat belonging to Captain Caplin, a native of this
place, and another of the name of Rogers, to examine
the lights at the Gasket), and make the necessary
repairs. When near the Island, the sea running very
high, they were overwhelmed in the waves by a sad-
den squall, and all the four were drowned.
