From all serounts We find that the weather in tie Arctic,
though hoisterous as Il, usually IS has been pretty good, and
-haIes very abundant. BY the above list it will be observed
tha, nsny % the ships filled up full. The prospects for the

addition 70 this, it i reported that extensive fires have been
raging all the sumner on the shores Of the Ochotsk, which
have created dense banks Of smoke over the land and sea.
Some Of The forests that lire the shores and cover tie Islands.
have been entirely swept away. Whether these fires have been

Our harbor has now atou; - ships in il recruiting a list u
~hich will b. found below. The scarcity Of shOokz 10 fit out
FOR new cruises, viii cause some trouble and perhaps detention.
Il Is sonsNhaI surprising that -hiP owners did not send out
larger supplies Of shocks, which would have proved the cheap
est mode Of supplying funds to thi- vessels here. inasmuch a.
shocks are always IL der1anti and readily sell Er cash This is
also one Of the best modes Of transferring any funds from
American ports 20 these Islands, when remittances are sought
u be made.
The brig H.Hie Jackson. which arrived on Friday last.

again With Goals and sugar, and VIII leave this afternoon or to-
morrow morning for san Francisco.
The Comet IS loading rapidly ani viii be rsady 70 sail early

day, il en- route for Bakers Island, where she = un Ter charter

terrell to follow her-the 81 en-, which will be due he-e in about
10 days, and the Princess, which had not yet arrived at san
Francisco up TO latest aIvces.
The British ship K ing Lear. anchored in the-IuaIs on Mon
day morning, having. stopped here to obtain seamen. She is
loaded with lumber and spars from Puget Sound, IN route for
TOuIou- France She is the first vessel that has ever cleared
