and estimate ofall the large diamonds known to
be in existence, were given by Mr.. Thomson
The number of diamonds of 36 carats snd up

two only of which were in England, viz the Pr
got diamond weighing As carats, and worth II,

these gems; its largest is that of the sceptre,
which IS said to weigh 779 carats. IF this be
true, 1t must be worth according to the general

counts that thetwo parties were fighting against
each other throughout the province, which was
in state of insurrection. We have since learnt
by an express, that 5000 troops sent from Toulon
had entered Marsailles, and made great slaugh-
ter among the royalIsts, sparing neither women or
children, but the BOnapartists were defeated, and
the place was quiet by the last accounts Adj
miral lord Exmouth sailed yesterdaywith 8 ships
OF war and Is transports, some ofwhich took in

Piedmontes troops, flying artillery &c. &c This
expedition is under the command of major gen

Marseilles."
TURBOT FISHERY.
most valuable discovery has been made AZ
Hartlepoo, which promises the most important
advantages. About two months since, the mas.
ter of London fishing vessel prevailed on some
ofthe fishermen to try the nets which he had
brought on the coast near Hartlepoo An enter
prising fisherman complied, though with little
hopes of success in spite Of the dissertation and
ridicule Of his fellows, who could not conceive
the possibility ofany stranger beng able TO teach
them the art Of catching fish. The first at
tempts were unsuccessful, but after repeated tri-
ais fish were caught in great abundance, and lat
terry in one week, 1850 turbots have been sent 10
the London Market; the contract price s.. Cd.
per FISH, on moderate calculation that each fish
sells for los. in London, this weeks fishing would
produce 525l The fame of this discovery has
already induced some fishermen fom Northun-
berland to emigrate to HaTGepoo, and as the
coast has never been disturbed since the memory
Of man, it is natural TO conclude, that the o.nti
ty Of fish must be immense, and that the fisher.
