too. The wind ha swept it at from
20 to 60 mile an hour for the past 48
boors, and yesterday the bar was break
ing on 17 fathoms ot water, and for
some ditance beyond the "whistling
buoy." This morning there is a bar
bound fleet on the hither aide of the
great barrier, made up of the following
easels: The British ships Dunboyne
and Kynance; the French ship Canibron
ne, all off Sand Ilead: The BritUh
steamer Croydon and Blackheath, and
the American steam schooner JeanieJ
with the three-mas tied iiooner Oakland

schooner Delia, the Astoria sea-going in
fant, reported yesterday that be has
made 26 round trips between this port
and Xeetucca and Siletx with the Del
la since the 1st of June last. It is
hoped he will continue to report, regu
larly and successfully, but "a realizing
glance at the butty little steamer he
sails "over the briny deep," compels
the inference he will be reported some
time, instead of reporting.

verted into an oil bupier and subjected
