INTIIIMITING TO MARINIIRS.—A Bahama Paper of
25th July states, that the survey of the 6talf stream
h.* been completed, and that a sew chart is prepare?
to be transmitted to the Lords of the Admiralty. 1 c
is said that the errors of all the old charts on the
most prominent points of the Gulf passage hare beta
the cause of so many vessels getting on the Florida
reef:

By the arrival of his Majesty's brig Scout, at Ports-
mouth. yesterday, from the Mediterranean, we have
accounts of the fever being still eery prevalent in Bar-
aldose, Malaga, &c. Two English vessels, the Ant-
picious sad Superb, had been sent from Malaga is con-
sequence of their having the yellow fever on heart!.
Two of the crew Lad died belonging to the Sepal 1,,
and one belonging to the Auspicious. The abore
vessels had arrived at Gibraltar, and on the Gth ins!.
sailed from thence for England, the fever still prevail-
ing oa board
The East India Compan's ships Brampton, Prowl-.
deace anti Asia, arrived in the Downs yesterday.—
The Asia sailed from St. Helena the 29th July, and
tho Providence the 3d of August. The Lady Cer•
riagtoa. it is reported, was at St. Helena when the
Poseidon, left.

The Boston Gazette observes, " We understand that
the keel of a national ship is nearly ready to be lei.l
at the Navy yard In Philadelphia, which is expected to
be the largest armed ship in the world, by having titres
entire tiers of guess besides those on the quarter deck
and forecastle—ia all 140 guns."
SNOW? MiASVEZDIENT IN Com.s.—We understand
that a case is pearling, in which it will appear that a
coal merchant eopgini to supply his customer with
eboideento of wool*, of which there were oaf/
forty-segos bushelideficient, when they came to be
mensored.
1N TatAL, Aeo. 14.—Strecut.an McaDra.— V 4
have learned the following particulars, from a gentle-
man lately from Three Rivers :—" A young man,
riving on the opposite bank of the river, affianced to a
girl of the same place, went down to Quebec ; Ito
there became acquainted with another girl, whom he
married. After his return, the disappointed one, we--
tog her successful rival on the beach, and derivine
strength from jealoxsy, seized her, flung her to the
earth, and when she opened her mouth to scream for
assistance, crammed it fall of sand. The unfortunats
being, fearful of being stifled, endeavoured to key,
her month shut; but gasping for breath, was obliged
to re-open it, and at each attempt to respire, received
an additional handful', till she at length fell a victim
to the diabolical rage of her enemy. The murderess is
in gaol at Three Rivers."
Douro Htenway Roaasee.—Yesterday afternoon,
as a young lady, whose name, from the confusion
which prevailed, we were unable to learn, was passing
the end of Shoe-lane, Holborn, a smart designing loot:-
log young fellow made a sudden snatch at her reticule.
containing some silver, and ran off with it pur-
sued by several persons op the lane ; he effected his
escape down one of the courts into Fleet-market, and
there& person whom we understood to be connected
with the Police was in the act of securing the robber,
when he was tripped up by another of the gang, upon
which they. all got clear of. It is truly very alarm-
ing when robberies are committed so barefacedly is
such public thoroughfares, especially in the open day.
A termer in this neighbourhood, by way of expe-
met, threshed some new wheat last'week, and was
sgteitably surprised to find that fourteen sheaves pro-
&seed a bushel of fine corn ; whereas in'prime years
hie calculation was sprays 20 sheaves of the same site
hi the bushel.—(Dery Paper.)
JIMOSIONE, Mee?. 20.—There is a general come
inlet in this neighbourhood that the 'hops fall very
short in quantity of what they were laid at a few week.

so much, that many acres are *as noomortb picking.

Cons FACUANOI, SKPT. 28.—We had rather more
deasnod for fine old wheat towards the close of Wednes-
day's market, and again this morning several country
bums heist here, and old wheat in the western cons*
ties being much waisted ; but new is totally unsaleable,
owing to the rough and bad condition.—Fine fresh
