draux,dated 29th July:—" It is reported that another three
saa•ted vrssel is taken, and carried into Cornnna.—The
Hull of the Penelope was sold this day for 1325 francs."

• PILCHARD Ftsitear.—The driving-bnats have commen-
esd their annual catch of this valuable fish ;—those belong-
ing to Looe have already taken upwards of 50,000, and the
fishermen regard the appearances as promising.—We trust
those interested in the sewn-fishery will take care that the
driving-boats observe this season the regulations establieh-
col by law, as to the distance which they are to fish from
the coast, &c. as it is geheially supposed the seen-fishery,
upon which so mauy families are dependant, has been ma-
terially injured of late years, by the driving-boats, which
assemble in great numkprs, falling in with the shoals of
pilchards on their approach to the shore, touting them
into deep water, by disturbing the fish which are in front.

THE ORANGE Siiiial:—There is, we understand, a
Grand Meeting of "lhertlicrict Masters of the Orange
Lodges of Ireland to he held on Monday next, at which the
Right Hon. the Earl O'Neill, it is said, will preside. That
these gentlemen will, by such a meeting, violate the Con-
vention Act, there can be co doubt. But this by the way.
1 The object of the meeting is, to devise new flulrs and Re-
gulations for this formidable Brotherhood, the Act of Par-
liament tendering an alteration of their Test, &c. iudispen-
sable.—(Dablia Evening Post, Angnst 2.)

An article in the hamburg Correspondent, dated Cun-

Extract of a letter from Paris, dared August 1 : —"On
the lath instant, an English frigate (I have not heard the
name) entered the port of Cailiz, after firing 21 guns, and
being answered by the customary honours from the walls
of the place. The Captain of the frigate did not commu-
nicate to Admiral Hamelin, the Commodore of the block-
ading squadron, his intention to enter, nor ask permission
to do so. As soon as the English frigate passed the French
squadron, all the ships in the harbour hoisted their flags in
tumour of the English navy. The news of this event was
communicated to Paris by telegranh.—lt has excited great
indignation in the French Cabinet, and giien rise to
several representations to the English Ambassador. Ad-
miral Hamelin, in the first place, is highly censured for
• having permitted the frigate to pass him without having
hailed it, and asked the object of its visit. Above all, it is
supposed, that he ought to have demanded of the Captain,
whether he had any provisions to deposit in Cadiz, and
whether lie meant to carry any passengers out with him?
On his word of honour in the negative, he should be al-
lowed to enter—not otherwise. Such, at least, is the view
of the French Cabinet. Sir C. Stuart has expre.sed his
confidence that every friendly explanation will be given,
and here the matter rests for the present."
Extract of a letter from Tripolizza, May 9 :—Frqm the
quantity of arms and ammunition taken during the last in-
cursion of the enemy, it is supposed that there are a suffi-
cient number of muskets, pistols, and artigans, to arm
60010 men. Such, however, is the degree of contempt in
which their opponents are held, that the Greeks consider
30,01t0 men as fully twnpetent to repel all the forces of
Turkey, as it Is now reduced. There is not the smallest
apprehension entertained as to any attempt being made on
the Mores. With respect to the points held by the enemy,'
such is the panic which has long since seized the different
garrisons that they would, it is supposed, gladly seize any
opening which afforded a chance of escape. Be this as it
may, there is no instance on record of any effort on the part
of those who are shut up in Petra', Corinth, Negropont, or
Motion, showing themselves outside the walls. Closely
watched by the Grceka, any attempt of this nature would be
attended with consequences which the experience of the
past renders it needless to name. Perfectly tranquil on the
score of their safety at home, the whole attention of the
Provisional Government is directed to securing the passes
of Thessaly,and thus cutting off either the entrance of any
French troops on the side of Therntopylr, or supplies des-
tined for the corps assembled under the Pacha of Scutari, at
Larissa. Part of the expedition destined to act on the
, northern frontier, has already set out, and I shall, in my
next, be able to aonounce the departure of the remainder
with the Commander-in-Chief. Two large divisions of the
feet have left Hydra within the last few days, to watch the
motions of a Turkish squadron, said to be on the point of
sailing from the Dardanelles.
A Meeting was held on Friday, at Congdon's Hotel,
Exeter, for the purpose of raising subscriptions in aid of the
Spanish Patriots. The meeting was numerously and re-
spectably attended, and we learn with pleasure that nearly
1004 was subscribed.
• A public meeting has been held at Kilainning for the put-
pose of opening a subscription to aid the Spanish nation
in their struggle forindependence. Resolutions were passed
condemning the conduct of the intruders • and a subscrip-
tion is going on, which will, in all probability, amount to a
handsome sum, considering the size of the place.—(Glassow
Chronicle.)
Saturday night last, the bed-room of Mr. Sibley, land-
lord of the Dog and Hate public-house, Market street, Bo-
•,_ sough road, was entered by some villains, supposed to
belong to a party who were drinking several hours in the
house, and robbed of b 0 sovereigns and a gold watch, valu-
ed at 204 The discovery was not made till the house was
shut up, and the family retiring to rest.
CUPAR.—WbiIe some people belonging to the village of
Kioglassie were employed hoeing potatoes, the rain fell in
such torrents that they Isere under the necessity of retiring
into their houses. One man continued io the field, but
not coming home in the evening, his friends went in search
of him. After searching they found him, but life was
nearly extinct; and, in a few hours after, he expired. From
the appearance of the body, it was difficult to say what bad
been the cause of his death.
Such bas been the recent mortalitraniongst the ministers
• of religion at Huddersfield, that the pulpit of the parish
church, the pulpit of the rethodist chapel, and the pulpit
•f the Independent chapel, are all at the present moment
hung with mourning, on account of the death of their Mi-
aisters.--(York Herald) .
