EDINBURGH, Dic. 26.

During thembole of the present month there have
been strong gales in this quarter, particularly horn the
west and south west. These, in various ways, have
been particularly against the seaports in the Frith, and
for a bomber of years they have not experienced such a
luckless December. Very little good has been done at
A either the white 6sh or herring fishing'. The New-
haven people have suffered particularly, for besides
doing no good in the fisbings, they have been very un-
fortunate with their oysters and mussels. On Thursday
at 'three o'clock, a number of boats from that town set
off to try for herrings. After shooting their nets in
various quarters, they fell in with a stray shoal beyond
Inchkeith, and caught from 600 to 1000 a boat ; but
when about to return home, a strong gale came on, and
it was with considerable labour and hazard they made
Kirkaldy Bay, where they were detained till noon on
Saturday. Some fishermen belonging to the other towns
on the Frith within these three weeks have been detained
six, eight, and ten days on a rnn.—, Scotsman.
&faraday evening Donald Macgregor, tacksman of
Leatte, Glencanich, in the parish of Kilmorack, on
return home, accompanied by another man, at-
tempted to cross a burn-which tuns into the river Can-
nich, near his house, when the strtam being much
swollen by the late rains, carried them both into the
river; his companion was thrown by the current towards
the.bank, and clinging to the seeds was saved, but
Macgregor unhappily perished, leaving a widow and
three children to deplore his fate. His body was found
next day about a mile below the confluence of the
streams.
