The semi-of usial NorddastecAs Ailgenieine Zeitung of to-day says :—" The Austrian decimation rela tive to the eonvesaiion of the Holstein estates seems to be adi provocation provocation to .war. The con vocaticm of thode estates with the' declared object of dissolving thadii.ties et-allsolasia which, accord ing to the treaty of Vienna, unite the Duchy of Holstein to Prussia, is apparently a flagrant viola tion of the treaty of Vienna, and an attack upon the sovereign rights of Prussia which she is bound to resist. Nevertheless, Prussia will hope until the last moment that Austria may yet see lit to desist from carrying her declaration into effect." Herr von Bodelachwingh, the Minister of Finance, is about to relinquish his post in the ministry on account of ill health. AUSTRIA. VTENNA. JUNK 3. An imperial decree has been issued to-day sus pending for the present, on account of the dangers menacing the southern parts of the empire, the laws for the protection of personallibertyand inviolabilty of domicile inVenctia, the Istrisui seaboard, Gorz and Gradisca, Southern Tyrol, and Dalmatia. An order has also been issued empowering the general com nianding the army of the north to suspend, in case of necessity, the above laws in all fortified places under his command, including their environs, and also in some other districts. He is furthermore empowered to establish military courts for the trial of civilians for certain offences hitherto punishable by the ordinary penal code, and in certain wain ! genies to proclaim martial law. HUNGARY. The Lower Home of the Hungarian Diet has instructed the financial committee to propose measures for adoption by the Diet, as a preparation against the commercial distress which threatens the country. The Municipality of Fiume has refused tq comply with the request that the public treasures of that town should be sent to Agram on account of the imminence of war. TRIESTE, JuNz 3. The Chamber of Commerce of Trieste haa addressed petitions to the Minister of Commeree at Viers, and to the Permanent Committee of the Chamber of Commerce at Berlin, soliciting them to nse their exertions for obtaining a general recognition of tha principle that, in time of war, purely mercantile ports shall not be blockaded. ITALY. FLORENCE, Jairs 2, EvEirnro. The Florence journals are of opinion that, as Austria's resolution not to discuss the Venetian question was foreseen, Alvin not prevent the meeting of the proposed Conference, the object of which IS to determine the respective share of responsibility in the present difficulties which devolves upon each of the antagonistic Powers. The Conference will only provide the bases for a subsequent settlement of pending questions. FLORENCE, JUNE 3. The Bing has left for Turin, but will return to Florence in a few days. During the absence of General La Marmora at the Paris Conference, the Presidency of the Council will be entrusted to the Minister of War. In the Chamber of Deputies the debate upon financial measures continues. Letters received here from Venetia assert that Austria has had plans prepared for causing an overflow of the Po and Adige, in order to prevent the entry of the Italian army into Venetia. COURT FETE IN PARIS. PARIS, Jure 2, EVINTWO. It is intended, when the Conference meets, to give a grand court fete in honour of the foreign ministers who will then be assembled in Paris. SPAIN.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (Ism ova owx ow PARIS, St IMAT Eventna. The sombre prospects of the conference, noticed yesterday, are darker still to-day. Prince Glert ohakoffs gout is so much worse that he is not only unable to leave St. Petersburg by June 10, but it is doubted whether he will come at all. The Munich telegraph announces that. M. de Pfordten, who has been chosen plenipotentiary to represent the Ger i reanie Diet in the conference, is to start for Paris on Wednesday next, but Senator Gueronniere's journal La Prance thinks his departure must " altogether depend upon the result of the prelimi nary negotiations relative to the eventual meeting of the conference." My own opinion at this moment is that the conference will not meet after all. The government journal the Pays is in structed to write with great severity against Austria, and to characterise the step it took on June 1 of submitting the Schleswig-Holstein ques tion to the Federal Diet as a " diplomatic coup or• Stat." At the same time we know that this act is regarded in Berlin as tantamount to $ declara tion of war, because it ignores the treaty of Gas tein which left the Duchies entirely at the mercy Of Prussia and Austria as conquered countries, and carefully excluded the Diet from any voice in the matter. The troops of Hanover and Saxony, which were in the Duchies on the part of the Diet, were compelled to evacuate them by a hostile demonstra tion on the part of Prussia, and until Prussia and Austria quarrelled about the division of the prey the Diet was fain to leave the settlement of the Duchies entirely to the courts of Berlin and Vienna. Now Prussia, instead of doing entirely as she likes with the Duchies, is—if she tamely submit to the last Austrian move—forced to submit to the arbitration of a body which .is notoriously against her, and prompted by her powerful rival. The Pays, with an evident leaning towards Prussia, hints that the latter power will send an army into Holstein for the express purpose of preventing the meeting of the " states" which Austria has convoked there. "In this," says the Pays, " there lies serious danger of a serious conflict which may precipitate events. Is that what the cabinet of Vienna wants ? Perhaps." The France, doubtless inspired by notes from the Foreign-office identical with those which must have been before the writer in the Pays, uses the very same phrase, "precipitate events"—meaning war. At the little irregular Bourse on the Boulevard to-day Rents was done at 631 r. 40c., being 50c. lower than the closing official quotation of yester day. ITALY. (11011 A COZAZIPONDENT.) RIMINI, MAY 28. Never, I suppose, since railways were invented, did trains present so extraordinary a spectacle as they do at this moment on most of the lines in Northern Italy. Take up your position at what station you please, and you will not have to wait long before a Garibaldini " special" draws up with its boisterous living freight. Inside and out, from one end of the train to the other, the carriages, first, second, and third class alike, literally swarm with patriotic dust-begrimed lads, who, if they are only half as careless of their lives on the field of battle as they are in the face of the imminent danger of being run over by the train, about which they climb and play as if it was the most harmless thing in the world, will one day do infinite credit to their country. As the monster engines roll slowly up to the station snorting out their black I smoke which half conceals the motley bacchanalian crew on board (to borrow an American expression) and through which a confused din of human voices Makes itself heard, you might fancy that you were transported to the shores of the Ganges, and were witnessing the procession of some terrible Juggernaut's car, before which the faithful were about to prostrate themselves. On the roof of the foremost carriage, with their legs dangling over the engine, are seated the leaders of the band, bearing huge tri-coloured flags, and from this precarious position, whenever they approach a station, or meet with another train, give the signal for the furious hurrahings and shootings of " Evviva Garibaldi," which are, in these exciting times, everywhere dinned into one's ears. The first thing that strikes you about these Garibaldini trains—after you have ceased wonder ing at their crowded and motley appearance—ia that they all have their tails turned towards the enemy, and that the enthusiasm seems to increase rather than otherwise as the distance from the Venetian frontier increases. In sending the great mass of the volunteers, who are of the rawest pos sible material, off southwards, to learn something of their military duties and discipline before they are brought face to face with the enemy, the go vernment is no doubt acting very wisely. One would, however, have expected that such a pro ceeding would have had the effect of damping the enthusiasm of the volunteers, in the same manneras a young deer-stalker, who, having sighted deer, is all eagerness to go straight at them, is inclined to go home in disgust, when he is told by the experienced stalker, to whose charge he is entrusted, to turn his back on the deer, and walk several miles in the opposite direction, for fear the deer should catch sight of him, or get his wind. In the short period, during which the lists have been open, not far short of a hundred thousand volunteers have enrolled themselves, and are now being trained to serve by the side of the regular army. When it is borne in mind that this volun teer movement ham gone on parallel with the recruitment—and probably the most sweeping recruitment which ever was known in the Italian peninsula—it must be admitted that the fact speaks volumes for the patriotism of the nation at large, which has thereby given the best proof of the sacrifices it is willing to undergo for so sacred an object as the deliverance of Rome and Venetia. Some days since, in consequence of the overwhelm ing number of volunteers who continued to pour in from all parts, the government was compelled to issue a notice, that the lists would be closed for the present on Saturday last, May 26, and that after that day, no more volunteers could be enrolled. From every corner of the Mediterranean where Italians are settled and Italian is spoken, volunteers have flocked in to serve under the national standard, and Egypt, Dalmatia, and Istria vie with the peninsula in send ing their contingents. So great and widely extended is the national enthusiasm, that it has even infected the Papal Dragoons, some fifty of whom presented themselves a few days back to the Italian authorities at Ancona, having eliablied, fully equipped, across the frontier. It is matiarao toy to think that these gallant fellows will now in all probability soon have an opportunity of biting the lives to some more useful ptirpose thaiii in breaking their necks in falling on the sliprry stoop in the execution of their dangerous duty of clearing the Corso of its carnival crowd. on mace aftatnoons. By an unfortunate mishap the leader of the band—a colonel in the Papal army—got separated from his comrades, and, being captetred by the authorities, was taken back to Rome, where he is to be tried by court-martial. Rimini is not a lively place, and in the midst of so much general liveliness elsewhere you feel devoutly thankful for it. To judge from the en- tries in the strangers' book at thiii hotel, of which theie are but three in the course of the past twelve months, Rimini is singularly unfrequented by visitors. Formerly, before the existence of 'rail ways, it appears to have been otherwise, and Ri mini in general, and " 11 Albergo dei Tre Re" in particular, was a favourite stopping place for "Intlords" posting from Rome, lq Tisy. of An cona, or Perugia, to Ravenna and Vence. In these days mi-lordsl-liice the common herd—don't stop anywhere en route, but go straight through to their destinations, which is a bad look-out for interme dike places like Rimini. About the inn and the landlord there is an interesting fossil-kind of respectability, for which, as for things soon about to pass away for ever, every right-minded indivi dual must feel a anbdasd and undefined regard. Were there no other attraction at Rimini, it were surely worth the while of the passing traveller to stay a night at the place to make the acquaintance of a landlord who, while he keeps his house open at a ruinous expense, in the hope of the return of the good old times when the ponderous travelling coaches of mi-lords shall again roll up to his door way, actually has the rare pleasure of welcoming a guest but once in four months, and treats that guest as if he were several lords rolled into one. One of the latest noblemen whose name figures in the books of the hotel is a certain Baron Renfrew — a disguise which did not avail to conceal from the landlord the real quality of his guest, who was none other than the heir to the British throne. But if Rimini is in itself neither lively nor particularly interesting, it enjoys the advantage of being more advantageously situated than any other point for making an excursion to one of the most interesting places in Italy—the little republic of San Marino. Of the physical position of that little state, which has maintained its independence for upwards of fifteen centuries, it is hardly too much to say, that for picturesque grandeur it is probably unequalled in Europe. As seen from the Adriatic, over which it commands a view extending in clear weather to the opposite coast of Dalmatia, or as viewed by one who approaches it across the plains of Lombardy, which are hardly less flat than the sea, the effect is incomparably grand. Although little more than 2,500 feet above the sea level, the serrated ridge, on the highest summit of which the republic of San Marino is perched, rises in its last spring so sheer up from its pe destal that were the height as great as that of the Matterhorn, the effect could hardly be grander. To find a walled and castellated town, with its church, its town-hall, court of justice, public library, &c., on the top of a mountain,whose summit is often hidden in the clouds, and which would be quite inaccessible to any but a bold moun taineer, but for the road, which has been carried up to it with great labour and expense, would I sus pect be as great a surprise to most persons as it was to me. To all those who may be craving after a new sensation, and especially to 'dash travellers, I should distinctly recommend a visit to the republic of San Marino. Did San Marino happen to lie on any road fre quented by tourists, or to be visible from any one of the great highways of Italy, along which the ruck of travellers streams annually to Florence, Rome, or Naples; the world must inevitably have long since been inundated with countless sketches of it, done in pen and pencil. But, lying as San Marino does, in an out-of-the-way corner of Italy, it has quite escaped notice, and is now so rarely explored by foreigners of any nation, that my own visit yesterday seemed to create no small excite ment. While they were about it, the angels who trans ported the santa aura from Nazareth to Loretto, might just as well have carried it a little further on, to Monte Titano—the appropriate name which was originally given to the mountain by the natives, who were converted to Christianity by San Marino in the fourth century. Then Monte Titan would have become, as it deserved to be come, the great high place, to which all Italy would have gone up to worship. As it is, " Liberty " is enshrined there instead of the Madonna, and the inhabitants of San Marino would probably not be in a hurry to exchange god desses with their neighbours of Loretto. The man ner of living of the Sanmarinese is characterised by the utmost simplicity. Only a copper currency is recognised by the state, and twice every year the people assembles before its chief magistrates to claim redress of any grievances, or to lodge com plaints against any public officers. What was formerly the castle has now been converted into a prison, but on the occasion of my visit not a single cell was tenanted, although the gaoler informed me with a knowing look that he had good grounds for expecting a prisoner on the following day. One of the last persons confined in the airy prison of San Marino was an octogenarian priest of the appropriate name of " Righi." This ambitious ecclesiastic, it appears, some time since, had the audacity to publish's work denouncing the go vernment of San Marino. For this offence he was committed to prison, and finally sentenced to five years' banishnient from the territory of the republic. Instead of residing on the summit of the mountains the good priest has now taken up his abode in a village a few miles distant from the foot of it, and such is his attachment to San Marino— his birth place—that he declares his intention of returning thither to end his days when the remaining two years of his term of exile shall have expired.

Commodore Rodgers, of the Pacific squadron, has transmitted to the Secretary of the American Navy the following report of the bombardment of the port of Callao, Peru, by the Spanish fleet under the command of Nunez, on the 2nd May : United States Steamer Vanderbilt, at Sea, May 10,1866. Sir,—l have the honour to report that on the 27th of April the Spanish admiral, Mendez Nunes, addressed a letter to the diplomatic oorps in Sun* declaring that the port of Callao was blockaded from that date, also another justifying the course of Spain, and announcing that he should give neutral inhabitants four days to re move their persons and property previous to the bom bardment of the city. On the 30th of April Admiral Peirsoh anchored our men-of-war out of gunshot of the fortifications of Callao. Merchant vessels had some days Wore taken poelticem out of the way of hos tile operations. It was thought that the attack would com ment), en the lit of Nay, when the time expired given to neutrals for removal, but on the 20 of May, about tea . _ o'clock a.m., the Spanish feet got tinder weigh. Sane time was spent in forming their lines, and about eleven d'Chick the squadron moved in' two divisions to attack the defences of Callao. The trot division, under Adississl Nunes, consisting of the ironclad Mullane* of 7,000 tons burthen, with the frigates Blanca and Resolucion, moved along the San Corenso Island to attack the batteries on the south side of Callao, while the frigates Ville des Madrid. _ _ . Removela, and Almansa, pulsing in front of the national gm% merchant vessels anchored in the bay, steamed at first fly 'towards the Peruvian batteries on the north side of the city. As these vessels approached they accelerated their speed, and ran swiftly into position. At fifteen minutes slier twelve thefirstgun was tired—lthought from the Numaneir—quiskly followed by two from a bottery on the south side. The Spanish fleet carried about 240 guns mostly 32-pounders. The Numancia was armed with 68: pounders, as was also the three-gun corvette Vencidora, which was held in reserve to tow if necessary, and also, I presume, to cover the transports. The Peruvian batteries numbered is the aggregate forty-five guns, five of them 450-pounders Blakeley's, and four Armstrong guns, 300 - pounden, mounted on top of iron turrets. The rest were 32-pounders. Sand bags were extensively used in making the batteries, to which were added brick masonry and some of adobe. The firing soon became warm. About two o'clock the Villa de Madrid set her jib and tryssils and was out of the fight. She made signals, and was taken in tow by the Vemcidors, with steam soaping abundantly below. She was soon followed by the Berengnek, listed over I to one aide, and with smoke pouring from her ports. Just before she retired • puff of black dust had shot out at her water line on the side away from the batteries. A ball had gone through the coal bunkers, f thought, and through both sides. We saw men over the side attempt ing to patohlwith canvas the ragged hole, which seemed some two feet &Mare. The Almeria moved to join the first division engaged with the southern batteries. The Reeolucion and Blanca, about 2.30, steamed away from the southern division, leaving the Alumna* and the Numancia still engaged. These vessels drew off at 15 minutes before 8 o'clock—the Peruvians firing after them as long as their guns could reach. The action was fought on both sides with courage and persistency. The Peruvian guns, which were all en barbette, never ceased firing, and the Spaniards, I believe, only left off when their ammunition was exhausted. The killed and wounded in the batteries were said to number 80. In one of the ironclad batteries • shell ex ploded, igniting other powder and disabling the guns. By this explosion Senor Galves, the Peruvian Minister of War and Marine, was blown to stems. He was next to the Dictator in power, of liberal views and marked ability. His loss will prove a serious one to the country. His Excellency the Dictator is said to have been everywhere in the thickest of the fight, animating, encouraging, and directing the Peruvian batteries. I do not know the damage to the Spanish Beet, but the loss was no doubt heavy. It was obvious that several of the vessels bad been badly punished. The Spaniards, we thought, did not go very near to the batteries, many of their shot falling into the water. The presence of torpe does may have inspired caution. In coming away from a farewell visit to Admiral Pear son I picked up one floating adrift near our vessels. It was a red keg containing about fifty pounds of wet powder, with some yards of insulated wire attached, and inside the arrangement for explosion by galvanic battery. The senior surgeon, Dr. Peck, was sent to the Villa de Madrid and Berenguela as soon as they anchored with offers of assistance. His services were accepted by the surgeon of the Villa de Madrid, but on board the Bono. guela the officers gathered around him at the gangway, and said they were deeply grateful, but needed no help. When the Numancia anchored Dr. Johnson was sent on board, while Dr. Peck, who had returned to the Vander bilt, went on shore to tender his services to the Peruvians. I was sorry to learn through Dr. Johnson that Admiral Nunez had been badly wounded by splinters—no fewer than eight injuries having been received in the head, arms, legs and aide. The doctor was not permitted to see the admiral, and I apprehend he has been severely hurt. The Peruvian batteries were but little injured. The authorities on shore were confident that on the morning following the bombardment they would be better prepared than at the first to resist an attack. There were two iron-clad vessels on the side of the Peru vians—one the monitor Thews, with • single gun, • 68. pounder, in a turret, and one, the Vittoria, built in the shape of the Confederate iron-clads, covered with railroad iron, and having a 68-pounder at each end. The monitor was struck ten times, but received no damage. I do not know how the other fared. There were several small menof.war, but their artillery was too light to be used, and they were secured inside the wall. I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) JOHN BUDGIES, Commodore. To the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. A correspondent of the New York Herald says: The Spanish fleet under Admiral Nunes, mita way to bom bard the city of Callao, Peru, was badly beaten by the ahore batteries in the harbour, the vessels shattered, and Nunez himself wounded. The Beet (reinforced by the frigate Alma's) raised the blockade at Valparaiso on the 14th of April, and steamed for Callao. The American squadron, under Commodore Rodgers, followed the next day, for the purpose of protecting neutral property in case it should be the intention of the Spanish admiral to bombard that port. On the 25th of April the fleet found itself lying off the har bour of Callao. The first intelligence of this movement received by the Peruvians at Callao was by the English mail steamer on the same day that the dreaded visitors arrived. The greatest alarm ensued : but it subsided as it became cer tain that the %malaria did not meditate an attack on that day. On the next day, however, formal notice was given the city that the Spanish fleet was there to operate against it, and that four days were allowed for the removal of non - c ombatants and foreigners. The greatest activity was then manifested for the removal of the private property of citizens. But the defences of Callao were quite formidable, and an attempt was determined upon to beat the Spa niards off. The Peruvians evidently dreaded the heavy weight of metal that the Spanish fleet could throw at them, and looked forward to the Wile as doubtfuL But they went manfully to work, throwing up earthworks and pieparing for the combat. A system of telegraphing was extended to all the batteries, and torpedo boats were held in readi ness for use if available. The let of May being foggy, the attack was postponed ; and on the 2nd the grand test of strength commenced from the shore batteries, the fire being returned by the Boren vela, Villa de Madrid, and Blanca, on the north. ern side, a nd the Namancia, Besolucion , a nd Alumna 'on the south. The Villa de Madrid and Berenguela were so badly damaged early in the fight that they were obliged to withdrew to San Lorenzo, and they were afterwards followed by the Numancia and the rest of the fleet, more or less damaged. The Sght lasted till four o'clock in the afternoon • I then it terminated by the withdrawal of the Spanish fieet: ! Nothing reliable is known of the exact number of killed and wounded on either side. The Peruvian Secretary of War, Senor Galvin, was killed in battery No. 3 , when it was blown up. The wounded on shore, as fast as they fell, were carried to the rear, and sent to the hospital at Bel t s vista Those whose friends resided at Lima were sent to the city, to be placed in camp of those who would care better for them than if they era remained st Baseline to take the chances. The most reliable Informa- tion had, at the time the Vanderbilt sailed. was that the Peruvians had lost 60 killed, and about 170 wounded.

On the night of the let December last Compton house, the largest drapery establishment in Liverpool, was utterly destroyed by fire, and damage done to the amount of 200,0001. The circumstances of the firs were such as to beget suspicion in the minds of several persons, but up to very recently Messrs. Jeffery, the proprietors, bad no grounds upon which to fix their suspicions. Of late, however, their attention was directed to the irregular conduct of one of their apprentices, Thomas Henry Sweating, aged 20, the son of very respectable parents. They had good cause to suspect that he was robbing theta. They placed the matter in the hands of Detective Oousena, of the local police, and that officer succeeded in tracing some 70f. worth of Mama Jeffcry's property, including valuable books, to his possession. On Saturday morning he was placed under private examina tion, and he then centered to having caused the fire. His statement was to the effect that, on the night of the fire, be was in charge of the door leading out of the *bop, by Mr. Watt's (the manager's) counting-house, and at 10 o'clock, whilst • fellow apprentke named Webber, went upstairs to the upholstery room, he went below into the packing room to turn the gas-lights out. He put out the lights, and then streak a wax taper, threw it down, without looking where it fell, and went up stairs to primer. Having had his supper, he opened the door, and found a large quantity of smoke in the passage. He heard a cry of " The places an lire ! Save your lives ;" and he repeated the cry to those inside. He then runup stairs, got some clothes, and left the building. While among the crowd outside he was agonised at hearing • rumour that two per. sons had lost their lives, and let drop some expreestons which attracted attention. He states that he was, not actuated by any feelings of animosity towards Mesas. Jeffery, who bad always treated him with the kindness ; and that he had no idea what mischief:rag I would do. He further admitted that he was in the habit , of getting up in the night and leaving the house since the , fire, not for unmoral purposes, but simply because he could not sleep. Its believed that he was not guilty of any ' improper conduct previous to the fire, and he has failed to define any motive for his disastrous act.—Liocrpool WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY.

ROYAL INSTITUTION.—OH Friday evening last Professor Rowaie made known at the Royal Institution some facts he has recently discovered on the chemical in tensity of direct sunlight, and the diffused light from other parts of the sky. It has been found that the chemical action of the direct rays of the sun is as a rule far leas powerful than the action of the diffused rays. By suspending finely divided sulphur in water, Professor Roscoe showed that the direct rays from a source of light were transmitted of a red colour, whilst the reflected rays were blue. The lecture was illustrated by brilliant expe riments, strongly supporting the views of the speaker, and was listened to by an attentive audience, among whom were Professor Faraday and Tyndall. THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S FVND.—Yesterday in all the churches and chapels throughout the London diocese a letter from the Bishop of London was read by the officiating minister. The communication was an earnest ap pe al for contributions to what is called the Bishop of London's Fund, in order " to give permanence to our existing machinery by bringing it into such a state sa will render it self-supporting or give it • claim on the public funds of the church." The Bishop states that the fundne its commencement to the resent date, has provid 'i ed c stipends for about 110 addition p al clergy and 611 additional lay agents, and has expended about 86,0001. on buildings and sites for churches, mission chapels, and schools. " Thus," writes the Bishop, "on • very mode rate calculation, 220,000 persons have been brought by us under spiritual supervision during these two years." It must not, however, be supposed that these stipends have been provided permanently. The whole sum as yet paid and promised, applicable to all the purposes of building, stipends, fcc., amounts to only 254,000/. The stipends which have been undertaken net above 18,000/. a year, and all that could be done was to secure their payment for a time, urging and assisting all necessary stele whereby missions shall be speedily changed into parishes, and permanent endowments thus secured from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. With this view, con tributions from the fund have been made towards tie erection of forty-five new churches, and ten church sites have been provided in addition. If the existing new clergy are to be permanent, a great effort still remains to be made ; otherwise what has already been gained may after all be lost. THE NORWEGIAN MACKEREL FISHERIES. — These fisheries, the season for working which h just com menced, promise to be unusually productive a . s For the past f o rtnight the two steamers plying between Hull and Christiansand have brought over very large consignments. The fish are brought in square boxes, packed in ice, and when opened out at Hull they have the appearance of having been only recently caught. About 20 fishing smacks have also been sent to the Norwegian fisheries, and the first of these, the Kate, returned on Friday night, having on board 237 boxes of mackerel, each cif which contained 100 fish. Sometimes six scores of fish are put into one box ; but those brought by the Kate were so large that, in addition to the ice required for their packing, there was not room for more than five soon: Some of f the fish weighed as much as two pounds each. As the mackerel are sold retail at Hull for bd. each, the importance of the trade in this time of dear meat cannot be over-estimated. LAUNCH or THE CALL AO FLOATING Docx.—This magnificent etructure, 300 feet long, 100 braid, composed of nearly 3,000 tons of iron, including 1,100,000 rivets, and cepable of taking in a ship of 6,000 tons, was lately Lunched on the 24th April, and towed to her moorings. The enterprise was promoted by the Pacific Steam Navigaticn Company of Liverpool, was contracted for by Messrs.
