the vessels from the North have come in very rap
idly, and our barbor presents its usual busy autumn
scenes. We have in port to day about ca vessels al

from the Ochotsk are generally large, though we art
sorry to notice some ships nearly ''clean." The mum,
Der of arrivals up to this date (Nov. ~ at all tbs
ports of this group have been 100,-and the averagl

1850 barrels. While the vessels are coming in so rad

attend it than generally prevail among them.
