which we recently reported at Little Gut Of
Canso, for Boston, arrived below Belfast on the

three times blown off since leaving Canso, once
when she was up with Georges, and each time
blown nearly to Sable Island. She put in here
short of provisions, having had nothing but
bread and herring for twelve days previous to
arrival. She has cargo of 2600 barrels of
frozen herring, from Boon Bav Newfoundland.

secured to the French for fishing stations by
treaty. 1t is on the west coast of the island,

alive with them. 1t is the only busy season
with the people of the locality, who make great
wages at securing the fish. Nearly hundred
cargoes are shipped from the place, many of
which are i'll large vessels that cross the Allan
tic. The herring are nice and fat, and bring
good prices in any market. Capt. Condor
thinks of returning for the purpose of taking
cargo TO Europe.
