MAcKEREL.--The Gloucester Tele-
graph says, one or two vessels have re-
turned from the Bay, without any mack
erel, which is pretty good evidence of the
scarcity Of the fish. The business of SEM
ing is carried on by several companies on
different parts Of the Cape, with tolerable
success. At Straitsmouth Island, last
week, from seventy five to one hundred
barrels large mackerel were taken at one
haul, by a Squam company.

extingush it. We have only time 10 say.
that from the Mansion House the fire was
communicated to the magnificent new
