NEW PLYMOUTH.
Yesterday.
Yesterday a shoal of about 120 black fish were driven ashore near Bell Block, and were left there when the tide receded. Some of them measured 20 feet in length. The beach is strewn with them. It is supposed that somejenemy—probably swordfish—must have chased them in, for several had wounds which were bleeding. They are attracting great a'tention, and large numbers have gone out to see them. The Maories claim the fish, but ftre willing to give ten of them to the pakehas. The Maories cooked a small one for dinner, and partook of it with great gusto.
