During a very heavy gale on Thee:lay sennight, fifteen or six-
teen large fish, of the species called Grampus, were driven on
shore at Mevagissey ; several of then measured from 15 to 20
feet in length. A vast number of them appeared in the bay, and
being observed by the persons engaged in the Preventive Service,
were mistaken for a raft of kegs, and in the hope of obtaining a
rich prize, the boats were manned and put out, regardless of the
tremendous sea then going. Having ascertained their mistake,
they were on their return, when one of the boats unfortunately
upset; and of seven men who were on board, three, nanic ly,
Jousters, CLARE, and PARTRIDGE, were unfortunately drowned,

' szroannox or MEACHANDISZ TO N. S. WALLS IN CONVICT SHIPS.

" Treasury Chambers, March 27.
" Gztertamint—l am commanded by the Lords Commis-
stoners of his Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, that, with re.
spect to the Memorial of the Merchants at Sydney, relative to
the revived practice of importing merchandise in convict ships
into the colony of New South Wales, that my Lords have in-
formed the Commissioners of the Navy, that, as the convict
ships and transports do not enter and clear out at the Custom-
house, they desire that no articles of merchandize may be per-
mitted to be shipped on board such vessels, beyond what may
be required as sea-stores, for the use of the Officers, crew, and
passengers, unless accompanied by the proprietors, who may be
provided with a passage on board any such vessel.

NAvIGATIuti EXTRAORDIKATT.—LIMIRICX, MAT 21.—A very
curious and novel article was exhibited on our river on Wednes-
day last. A miniature sail boat, only four feet in the keel, with
all necessary apparatus of sails and rigging. pushed up with great
velocity, and with all the Importance of nautical trade. At first
it was conceived to have been set afloat by some boys for amuse-
ment ; but as it approached the quays, she seemed to tack and
shift her sails, as if aided by the science of a man of war's crew.
Oa coming close to the dock, she was found to contain a small
crippled boy, of the name of Ryan, from Kilrush, which place
he said he left the day before, and sailed up the Shannon tear-
lessly, to gratify the people of Limerick, and to solicit from them
some trifle towards sustaining him. The boat weighs, without
ballast, only 30 pounds, and her ballast is but 36 pounds.—A few
pence from the spectators will make him as happy as a Commo-
dore of a fleet.

A private letter from Constantinople, dated April 26th, says,
—" Things remain much in the same state as they were when
I wrote last. Continual arrests are taking place, and a great
many arms have been found concealed in the Greek churches.
This accounts, perhaps, in some measure, for the severity which
has been practised against the Dignitaries. A general search
has been ordered to be made, the consequences of which will
lead to some disastrous plunder. The more one sees and hears
of this insurrection, the more reason is there to apprehend dan-
ger from their plans. Notwithstanding the continued-peaceable
expressions which proceed from the Russian Functionaries, we
have heard, from good authority, that the Greek Princes who
escaped have been received at Odessa with great favour, and
have been admitted to land, after a quarantine of onlyfour days!
whereas, in all other instances of vessels arriving from the
Turkish dominions, they have been subjected to an invariable
and inflexible regulation, of performing thirty days quarantine.
" Accounts from the Archipelago state, that the Idriots, Ip-
sariots, and Speciots, were inviting the different Islands in that
quarter to declare for the Greek cause. The shipping was ex-
tremely numerous, and well-equipped. The Turkish fleet,
which is now ready to sail, has been destined for that quarter.
Some portion of it had gone upwards, when some troops had
been sent to join them. The Dragoman of the Porte, and nine-
teen other Greeks, have been decapitated or hanged in the course
of one day. The remainder of the troops now ready for action
have been ordered to proceed to the Bosphorus, where they]
were to embark on board the vessels stationed there to receive
them, these vessels having been moored near to the Black Sea,
in consequence of the depredations committed by the Turkish
soldiery, vetilst they remained in the canals. We are in great
hopes that the departure of the fleet trill diminish the danger.
As it is, the Police are quite useless; for, whether they du it
from de,..ien or not, they certainly make no attempt to crush the,
lirentionseess of the soldiery.
" An order has been issued, that no person should he out after
sunset ; and although this order was understood to apply only to
the Rajahs, some persons of the first respectability have been
arrested for the infringement of it. The 'Vizier has at length
arrived, with a cortege of 20,000 persons. He remained some
time in the neighbourhood of the capital, wherein he made his
entry on the 21st with great pomp. The troops who accompanied
him will be conveyed below the Seven Towers, which are at the
extremity of the capital, without entering Constantinople.
"tan the day of the Vizier's entry, four Bishops and three Priests
were hanged; two of the former over the door of the Church.
This event has caused a great sensation here; fur although Ypsi-
lanti now merely says, that he wishes Moldavia and Wallachia
to be governed by persons selected in the Provinces, and thus to
surrender all his personal claims—yet the Greeks in the Mores
seem to be less inclined to give up their claim to a perfect eman-
• cipation from the Turkish yoke. The accounts which we have
received from that quarter state, that they have been successful
against the Turks, and that Pons, Corinth, &e. *e in their
pessessiuu ; adding, that the flame which has here been kindled,
will hardly be eatinguished except by rivets of blood."
