GALS IN TIM Innie.--Yesterday there was the
highest tide at Newhaven which hats llien seen there in
the memory of the eldest resideutir. At four o'clock
in the afternoon the spray from vast columns of water,
which rose to a great height, was lashing into rooms is
the second story, at the stone pier. - Instead of bringing
pp in the Road., the City of Edinborkh steam-packet
bore up the Frith, and foond it safer to land her goods
and passengers at Qoeensfert7. One of the boats which
'takes goodiend passengers from the London and Edin-
burgh steatnliackets, 'doing Monday night, was forced
from her moorings, driven up the Frith, and dathed to
pieces. The boat beltinging to the United Kingdom,
though moored in chains, wis forced off yesterday
mom fling. It so happened that the chain'snapped within
a fathom or so of the anchor, and she drifted slowly
ashore, and was eventually placed in safety. Hardy and
resolute as the NewhAven fishermen are, none of them
have thought of encountering the late gales; and .yes-
terday only one steam-boat ventured to cross the Frith.

DUMFRIES, 00CTOSia 2s.

Immense quantities of frtijt continue to' be exposed

gardeners but by dealers from the country, fanners anci

a great many instances; Ind the quality, we Understand,
promises to be good. Plenty is, of course, the patent
of cheapness, but intlependentft of the fertility of the
season, something must be ascribed to thee:tension of
the culture of fruit trees, and so, great .a change has been
eeted in this respect within a very brief period, that
a dear year of fruit will henceforth be a much rarer oc-
currence thin what is called a deaeyeatof meal.'
