Town, stoes that the captain of the vessel who had 110-

friends of the unfortunate gentleman of £l,lOO worth of
property ; that he was a convict under sentence of 14
years' transportation for piracy, and that, according t°
general belief, he " sold the pass."
A MERMAID IN SCOTLAND.—In the hyberberean vile
lage of Shieldiiig, on the western shore of Scotland,
lady appeared the other morning whose visit is likely t°
throw the sea serpent into the shade. It, appears that al
number of women had risen pretty early, as their custoel
is, to go for fuel to the Gascan, when the attention (3:,
one was attracted by a number of seamews which were
hovering and screaming near the church. On a further
t;
inspection she discovered a lady sitting on the rock, with
a comb and glass in her hand, singing one of her rnadr':
gals in a plaintive voice, and duly pointed her out to the
others, who all maintain that they saw the strange apPili
rition. The probability is, that this mermaid was one °,
the Razaay white seals, which are known to sit frequent
on rocks during night, uttering plaintive sounds ; but S
superstitious are the fishers here that not a single boo'
has put to sea since.
