The Evening Post says the suspension is an

OF the firm are Stephen w. Jessup, John l..
Plummer, John McNulty and Jos. j. Barnum.
Mr. Plummer is well known in the cloth trade

BOSTON, Feb. 18.-Over 40 fishermen be-
longing to the fleet of schooners frozen in at
Provincetown have arrived here, showing
plainly evidences of hardship and starvation.
At pres mt there is but little danger to the craft
frozen in, the only serious fear entertained by
seamen and owners of vessels is that strong
northeast. gale, may, in aday or two, in.
The Brig Purington lays in an unchanged
position. The schooner Henry Paul, on the
beach, has 300 tons:of ice piled on her deck. Her
cargo will be discharged and the vessel sold.
