Extract of a letter from Coruna*, dated Jan. 19 :
" On the 17th inst. a heavy gale of wind continence,'
from the W. and S.W. which obliged the Spanish ship
Zaragoxana, of this port, from Havannah, to run for
Perim'. The same weather continued yesterday and to-
day; and it is reported that the Spanish ship Antonia,
also from the Havannah, and belonging to this port, has
put into Ferrol with damage, needs confirmation. A
coaster was wrecked this day in the harbour."
BetteasE OF TRAM—Asa proof of the increas-
ing trade of Pulteney Town, we are informed that,
during the last year, the tonnage of vessels, for nhii It
harbour duties were levied there, exceeded that of the
preceding year, to the extent of 3,519 tons; the tannage
of the vessels that entered the harbour in each year.
being as follows, exclusive of boats engaged in the her-
ring-khery, vis.:-1010, 22,4111, sad lett 1:8413. This
increase is, in a great measure, to be ascribed to the
facilities afforded to the trade of the eastern coast of
Caithnetm, by the establishment of a Custom-house at
Wick. Duties were levied in Pulteney harbour, last
year, on 74,238 barrels of herrings, being 10,076 barrels
more than the quantity shipped in 1518.—{menses:
Courier.)
Letters from Yorkshire continue to state, that
an improvement has certainly taken place in trade; the
demand for black cloths, kerserneres, and other articles
of mourning, has created sonic bustle.
The demand for fine black hose has caused a consider-
able number of hands who were out of employment to
be placed in work. We understand that one respectable
house at Loughborough set on nearly 200 hands on Mon-1
day last.—(Leiceeter Paper.)
.A
letter from New York, of the 17th of January,
now before us, states, that the distress which was
so generally felt some time ago by the working
and labouring classes has greatly abated; and that the
prospects of commercial men have brightened a little,
after a long and distressing stagnation of trade. A
Trading Company is now forming in Philadelphia, who
promise themselves an extensive and beneficial trade
(with South America, we believe) " in regions where
commerce has never yet furled her sails;" but the par-
ticulars have not yet transpired. They expect, how-
ever, " to open new and extensive markets for the pro-
ducts of America (i. e. the United States) and European,
industry."
A Play, for the benefit of the Shipwrecked Sea-
men's Fund, was pesformed on Thursday last, at Aber
dean, and was attended by a crowded audience, an.l
proved most productive, yielding between 701. and 801.,
a most seasonable supply to this excellent charity, thc
funds of which have, it seems, proved inadequate to the
numerous claims, in consequeuce of late uielancliol3
losses at sea.

For the information of our chemical resden, we
state, that the new metal Cadmium, arigivall
discovered by Professor Stromoyer, is foreign ores
sine, has been also found by Professor E. D.tilarke, o•
Cambridge, in the Derbyshire Caktasim. Ih. Thom
son, Regina Professor of Chemistry at Olsagow, has
examined the Cedmiews, obtained by Professor Clarke
from oar English ores, and has confirmed his observa-
tions.
