sioners of the Navy, was in attendance on the launch, attended
by Sir ROSERT.
In the storm on Wednesday last, two vessels were driven
ashore at Brighton, and one of them was completely wrecked.
She was driven ashore opposite to Middle-street, her sides broken
in, and full of water. The master and crew were saved, but in
an instant a set of ruffians set to work to plunder the wreck, and
they had carried off everything that was portable, and were
busily employed in carrying off the coals, which was her cargo,
when Mr. Justice Bares arrived, and sent for a detachment of
troops to disperse the mob, which he happily effected, but not
one of the ruffians was taken. .

Extract from the Nettfatowland Casette of the 29th ult.—
" We are happy to learn, by a schooner arrived lately in six
days from the Labrador, that the fishery there was likely to
turn out much better than the last accounts from that quarter
left any room to anticipate. The catch for a short time past
had been pretty brisk, and upon an average there was a proba-
bility that a saving voyage would be made. A vast number of
American vessels had been on the coast, but they had all gone
home ; they had done much worse than any of our vessels,
owing to their having no cod-seines. The fishery about Twilin-
gate and Green's-pond has been remarkably successful. His
Majesty's surveying sloop Inspector arrived on Sunday from the
northward. We understand she will sail again immediately,
with the view of ascertaining something more certain concerning
the Virgin Rock, off Cape Race."
