The Latona, a fine new ship, on her first voyage
from Dundee, struck a field ot ice, in the Gulph ot
St. Lawrence, on the 29th of May last, about one
o'clock in the morning, and went down in about fif-
teen minutes. The crew and passengera, many of
I them on a state approaching to nudity, goi into the
boats just before the vessel disappeared. They all
arrived, about seven o'clock in the evening, at Cape
Breton—at a barren, uninhabited spot ; where
they kindled a fire, and rested for the night.—
They proceeded, at four o'clock next morning, and
reached Inganjesh, a place inhabited by about six
families, where they remained a day and a night, to
recover from their fatigues. They suffered consi-
derable hardship from scarcity of provisions, as they
could remove very little from the ship, in the short'
time between her striking and going down. The
crew and passengers afterwards rowed to the town of
Sidney, a distances of 40 miles, where such of them as
chose to return to Britain obtained shipping.

9th February.) Vessels have been sent to the Straits
of Sunda, by order of the Governor in Council, to in-
tercept and bring them here, to convey us home.—
Should we miss these ships by any chance, there are
two more to sail from China alter them, viz. the WEX-
FORD and EEMINSTONE.”

Several individuals have been arrested at Rouen
for passing false Bank-of-England Notes. From
their examination it appears, ill it many of them
have been neguciated at Caen, Havre, Fecanip, and
Cherbourg.
The Knights of the Sleeping Lien, now under trial
at Paris, appear to have had a very novel aneA curious
way of putting the fidelity of their Noviciates to the
proof. At a person's first introduction, they ex-
' acted from him an oath of fidelity to the Brethren.
On that occasion he was allowed to see and hear ?cry'
little—nothing perhaps beyond the mere ceremonials
of a Masonic Meeting. A short time afterwards he
was waited upon, generally at midnight, by three of
the Members, who represented themselves as Clerks or
Officers of Police—one of them, assuming an air of au-
thority, then told him his life was forfeited, unless he
disclosed the names of the persons with whom he en •
tered into a secret association a few evenings before,
and advised him to make his peace, through him,
with the Minister of Police, who would reward him
largely for his info= nion. If the Noviciate remain-
ed true to his oath, and was unawed by the threats,
or unreduced by the offers of the mock Officer of Po.
lice, the latter was authorised to resume his real cha-
racter, and to intrust the new Member with some
further secrets of the Institution. If he yielded, they
lett him on some frivolous pretext quiet in his bed,
but never permitted him to enter the Lodge again.
Extract of a Letter from Smyrna, dated May 17:
" We were greatly surprised this week by a letter
from the Treasurer to the Factory, telling us that the
whole body of American shopkeepers, who purchase
British goods, had suspended their payments, in con-
sequence of the large supplies lately arrived and
ing at low prices. We do not yet know the result,
but we may easily guess, that the British property in
the Bazaar, will require one or two years to recover,
and that nothing can be sold to them on credit.—
This branch of trade will be stopped for some time.
The Glasgow Manufacturers who have consigned
goods to a foreign house here, must experience along
delay, as the shipments they have made must all have
gone into the hands of those shopkeepers, no doabt
to a very large amount."
A letter hom Manchcher says—" Tbat the manu-
facturing market of this place has materially im-
proved, and is gradually improving, is an obvious
and most gratifying fact ; and we are assured, that
the woollen, the iron, and the lace manufacturers,
are again in the fullest employ. The abundance of
the products of the earth, in every quarter, will en-
gender a demand for the productions of ingenious in-
dustry. When provisions are easily provided, the
remainder-of the earnings, even of the poor, will be
applied in the purchase of manufactured comforts,
and requisite clothing. For these things the Conti-
nent looks chiefly to England ; which, of eeurse, in
her commercial and manufacturing interests, partici-
pates in Continent..) prosperity."
No less than 3666 bolls of oats, and 1127 bolls of
wheat, were imported during the quarter ending sth
July, 1817, at Mc :wow and Arbroath.
IVIIALE FISIIERV.—Extract of a letter from liam-
burgh, dated the Bth instant, received by Mr. T. Joists,
!of Hull :.•••14 Te-day we have had the first sealer to
Gluckstadt, which is a small vessel, and full, contain-
ing fifty pipes of sea dogs. She brings a very pleas-
ing list of the 12th and 13th of May. The ships at
that time had all an excellent catch on the Robben
coast. There are some wha have from 120 to 130
pipes of Robben blubber. The English ships have
also been very successful. On that day most of the
ships sailed further to the whale-fishing ; so if they
only get two or three fish more, we might soon have
them all tome, and full ships."
Sunday, a child, belonging to Mr. WHITE, of the
Lord Nelson public-house, Maidstone, fell into the
Medway, from Mason's wharf. A poor man, stand-
ing at some little distance, who saw the accident,
immediately jumped into the river, and succeeded in
securing the child, and swimming with it to the shore,
where it was soon completely recovered. The poor
fellow who effected this deed of charity was "clothed
in rags," but the compassionate by-standers instantly
entered into a subscription, and raised a sum sufficient
to procure him a decent suit of clothes, which they
presented to him as a reward for his humanity.
The Southwark Bridge requires but two piers,
having only three arches. Both piers are now above

most arch, by piping the iroa•work on it.
