Oar roatlittead during tlio week has presented an animating and beautiful appearance. Three vessels consisting of n ship, a brig, nnd a brignntinc, were at anchor off tho town, and on Thursday tho Btonracr Nelson was no small addition to tho benuty of the epectaclo, although she only Inid-to fur half-an-hour, and at some disinnco from the shore.
