A Vessel from Sicily,

The British ship Steinvora, Capt
Robins, from Trapani, Sicily with cargo
of /, $50 tons of salt, arrived yesterday
morning after fast passage of AZ days
When the ship arrived at Gibraltar she
caught an easterly wind which took her
across the Atlantic. Luck favored this
vessel much more than the Victoria, tine
last vessel from Trapani to this port,
which took 100 days, owing to the preva-
lence of head winds. No accident hap
pened during the voya ge, and the health
inspector found all well on board. The
vesselE is consigned to Chase g. Leavitt
and her cargo to John Emery & Brother.

THE MACKERAL FLEET.
First Portland Vessels Arrives from
the Cape Shore.

The Carolina yaught Brings $50 Barrels
Reports from the Other Portland Yes
sels-Bad Weather.
| The first vessel of the Portland mack
erel fleet arrived Monday afternoon from
the Cape Shore. She was the schooner
Caroline Vaught, Captain J. S. Seavey,
and she brought $50 packed barrels of
mackerel. Captain Seavey left Boothbay
Harbor on the 18th Of May. He fished
first along the length of the Nova Scotia
Coast, and then followed along the back
side of Cape Breton as far as Cape North.
He found the fish present in the usual
quantities; but the weather was very bad
The captain of the Grampus thinks that
the fleet through the vessels will average
less than hundred barrels. There have
been about eighty American sail in those
waters. The Portland feet have had
varying luck The Lizzie Maud, Capt
Ben Squirting, had 40 barrels, the Lucy
Dyer, Capt. II. M. McKeon, 240 barrels,
the Emma, Capt. Mcintyre, 200 barrels
Capt Seavey heard report from other
vessels, as follows:
j. S. Glover, none ;Wideawake, 80 barrels !;
Ellen Lincoln, none; John NJ. Plummer,
70 barrels; Maud Wetherell, 80 barrels !;
Henry Morgenthen, 100 barrels; Lila B.
Fernald, 60 barrels; Henrietta Francis,
100 barrels.
Capt. Seavey says that there has been
no trouble with the Canadian authorities.
He discovered one school while his vessel
was anchored in shore. Being unable to
tow he out, he started in small boat and
got the school outside the three-mile lin
it, Then he towed the vessel out and took
them aboard. A Canadian official said
that he was liable for preparing to fish
within the three-mile limit, but conclud-
ed that man who wanted fish bad
enough to go out after them that way
ought to have them
