CATCHING \ SHAR6.-A correspondent of the
Baltimore American writing from Cobb's Island,

about. He says:
During my visit to this pleasant place, made
one OF party who determined to seek larger game

ing less than the capture OF shark would satisfy
us. Engaging the services of two experienced
fishermen, we anchored our boat in a channel some
sixty feet deep. The sharklines We're not long ont
before gentleman from Richmond announced not
only orally, but by being nearly drawn overheard,
that he had hooked fish and needed assistance
Mr.. Cobb, a companion, quietly stood by and let
the gentlemen do the work Of pulling the fish to
the anriace, when he saw That they had hooked a
monster, which came up tail foremost, and would
soon have stove the boat had not Mr.. Cebhs knowl-
edge of the habits Of the animal suggested great
prudence in this case. The gentlemen 'playedn
with the shark for some fifteen minutes, if under
going the hardest labor they ever encountered
could be called playing when Mr.. Cobb took
favorable opportunity 10 thrust spCarin the lungs
of the fierce sea.tiger. AT the first touch of the
weapon, the lashinS nf the sea with the powerful
tail OF the fish filled the air with spray, and the fish
darted to tile bottom, soon 10 be pulled again to
the surface for another blow from the lance.
About forty stabs rendered the shark sufficiently
quiet to allow himself to be lashed alongside The
boat, and the hook to be cut from his mouth an
operation requiring some care and skill Not con.

much smaller one--say about six feet long-Whieh
gave us comparatively but little trouble. The
large shark (of the species usually termed a man
e&tef1 when hauied upon the shore by the united
enorts OF eight men, was found to measure twelve
feet in length. His body was as large round as a
-four barrel, and his jaws opened tweuty-one inches

monster has taken the jaws to Richmond, where he

Brutality OF the Soldiers in Paiersmo.
The following is the translation of letter
written in Italian by the Swiss ConsulGeneral at
Palermo, Mr.. Hirzel, and addressed to General
LAMA, the Neapolitan Commander.i Chief:
ESeelleney-0n the report just made to me,
that Albert Eichkolzen, Swiss citizen, husband
Of Rosa BeYilacqua, dealer in wine, living at
Piazzetta Grande, No. 17s, had had Il misfortune
Of having his house pillaged and set on fire. also
his shop and wine stores; that his son, twelve
years OF age, wishing to escape the flames, had
been shot by the soldiers, and that it was not
known what had become OF himself and the rest of
the family, ! fastened yesterday Gune y to
search personally, in order to learn the fate OF that
unfortunate man.
Having repaired to the neighborhood OF his
dwelling place, the inhabitants could tell me
nothing more than their supposition that this
family had been dragged away by the royal troops,
in the same way as many others who had been ar
rested and taken to the convent of the White Bene
dictines. shut up there in the refeetory and subse
qHehtly burnt alive in the fire kindled in that con-
vent by the soldiers before their retreat TO the
royal palace
Unable to believe such report, and filled with
Indignation, ] Immediately repaired to the said
convent of the White Benedetnes, taking my way
through an entire quarter ia ruins from the houses
of which, a prey to the flames, there came 4 pest
ilential odor OF dead bodies buried beneath the
ruins; aud, having asked the cause ofsuch horrors
several Of the survivors replied to me thar they
had been enacted BY tile Royal troops during their
retreat to the royal palace.
Having reached the convent of the White Bane.
dietines, / was conducted to vast place, which
they told me had been the refectory, and whore
men were busily engaged in removing burned
bodies, assuring me they were those of families
from the neighborng houses, whom the royal
troops had arrested aud shut up in that spot and
that the convent having been pillaged and set on
fire by them, these persons had been burned alive
therein.
/ afdress your Excelleney with the deepest
anxiety to obtain some intelligence respecting the
fate of my countryman, requiring from your
humanity and justice the order TO set him liberty
if he be still alive, aud reserving to myself the
power of making good his claims to the indemnity
which my Government may demand for him.
