The importation of West India pine-apples for the British market has recom- menced for the season, about three thousand having arrived by the last mail- steamer from New Providence. They are said to be in very fine condition. The same vessel brought a quantity of bananas and new potatoes from the Bahamas, and a number of casks of green ginger from Jamaica. At Angers, a few days ago, a man employed to repair the sink of a house was suddenly affected by the deleterious gas that arose from it, and fell in: three workmen went down successively to rescue him; but they all shared his fate and were taken out lifeless.
