The consequence is that while Holland I upwards of 350,000 men in their fisheries, ' England, ft is calculated employ no more ,000, and those of Ireland still less.

PILCII42D FISHRRY. On Tuesday last, a very numerous and respnetttisle meet ing of the persons in Cornwall, engaged intim Pilehard fishery, was held in Truro, when a series of resolutions were proposed by Joseph Bonfield, Esq. and a discussion of some considerable length ensued. is the course of which It was stated as the unanimous opinion of the Meeting, that the imposition of a duty of two shillings a bushel on the salt need in coring pilchards, would wholly destroy that fishery, as a branch of foreign cos. fierce; for that even now, when there is only a duty of three pence a bushel charged on the foreign salt used fur l curing fish, it is only by making great sacrifices and acting on the most economical principles, that the pil chards cured in this country can maintain a successfull competition, in the Italian markets, with the fish taken oa t his coasts of France and fipple. It was also stated that subjeetiog the salt used for the fishery to the pay ment of the duty on its importation, even should a draw back be allowed on the exportation of Weak who'd be attended with the worst conseqsalses. It is well known ibst the pilchard fishery is very un certain : for though the fish have appeared of coasts in vast bodies, the state of the w canes, foe several successive season' them from approaching soffieiently allow the sewers an opportunity , Consequently the salt warehouse sometimes remains on hand for years ; and the salt importers • themselves for the couspout_ sent of the duty on the importation sanding an increased price -e ,perch of the fish.

We are happy that the inhabitants of the north of Engler will thus have an opportunity of expressing, by thvir re ception of his Royal Highness, their sense of his manly independence and able exertions in the calm of coustitational liberty. Of all the members of the Royal Family, the Duke of Sussex has ever appeared the most deeply impressed with the importance of that principle which inseparably connects the prosperity of the House of Brunswick with the g 1 freedom of the people of this empire. In conformi►y with this feeling, he has always disregarded courtly favour, whenever it interfered with the free exercise taf Lis public duties ; and now despises, we doubt not, as much as the country at large, those petty personal insults which woeld punish his independent vindica tion of the laws of justice in the instance of the late Queen, by exclusion even from am Opera•house fete. If we know his character aright, we may safely pre dict that be will be amply consoled by the honest and virtuous warmth of feeling which his presence will elicit from the fete and enlightened population of the north.—(Otrrhans Chroxick.) THEATRICAL BENEFIT/ 1011 TUC DISTRESSED PEO PLC or IRELAND.—The profits of the Edinburgh Theatre, on Thursday evening last, were allotted; it appears, for the relief of the Irish peasantry ; ""but," says the Ediabargh Star, " as we presume, from sadici est publicity not Laving been given to that intention, as well as to the iepport it was to receive from the appear anee of Mrs. H. Johnston, (who is engaged for three nights,) the reeeipts fell lamentably short of what I might otherwise have been expected." The same fate has attendesiihe like attempts at both the Patent Theatres of bood'oe. At Drury-lave, notwithstanding the exertioua and the sacrifices of KEAN, no overflow was experienced; and at Covent Harden, last Saturday night, when the prefis of the Theatre were devoted to the same porpese, the receipts, we understand, were very un- Units, pay even the expenses of the House.

Some means were, of course, employed to produce her re covery, aid on loosening her clothes, it was disco vered that her body was tightly swathed with a Lay rope, fur the evident purpose of compressing the bowels and stomach ! When animation was restored, she was provided with temporary relief, but even for such an object as she is, there was no room upon the poor list. We hare experienced, to a considerable amount, perhaps 5001. or upwards, the benevolence of the London and Dublin Committees and of Govern ment, but more most come from some quarter, or num bers of our poor will perish.—(-gasto Constitution.) MIA LEO, JUNI s.—For the last three or four morn ings, at an early hour, it was lamentable to behold groups of starving labourers parading our streets ; at length they formed a large assemblage, and proceeded to the houses of several Gentlemen in this town, seeking work, and declaring they were most anxious to labour for their bread ; that they, and their &- I mines were famishing, and that if something was not done for their relief, they must either plunder or perish! and, indeed, if something be not promptly done, hundreds of human beings, of our wretched fellow-men, must inevitably perish before twelve or fourteen days have passed away, and thousands before the middle of next month. They have hitherto con ducted themselves peaceably, but we must warn them to reflect on theAanger of such assemblages, to be ware of the roaainations and incitements of evil. minded incendiaries, and to reflect on the powerful lases now in force for idler p a tion of the public peace. Tumultuary meetings and violent proceedings can have no other effect than to add to their miseries ten.fold.—(Weetern Herald.) A meeting of the Clock and Watchmakers of the metropolis was held yesterday, to take into consider ation the iVarehousing Bill sow pending in Perlis ment. The object is to prevent clocks. watches, and watch glasses from being on !er the operation of the Bill. The riapp and various other manufacturers of the kingdom are also advised to meet to avert the evil consequence, that are likely to result to theta from the measure in question.

PEDESTRIANISM —Richard Sutton, the pedestrian, who is performing the Barclay match of 1000 miles is 1000 hours, at Milton, near Portsmouth, continues his arduous undertaking with unabated confidence. He has completed upwards of :AM miles. Talmo, Jona 7.—A yonng man named Charles An drew, alias the Brighton. yeigh; gave notice last week, that he would walk 51J miles. in eight successive hours, in the vicinity of this town. For the purpose of per forming this pedestrian feat, he chose the road by the river side, bettiem this Ogee and Mottos ferry, and had a half mile matured on a part whirls is pet teed! levels He commenced his task on Monday at twelve o'clock. and completed the undertaking by half-put seven, being half an hour within the allotted time, including an hone for rest and refreshment: so that be went little less than 8 miles an hour during the time he continued walling ; during one part of the performance he actually went ten miles in an hour and a minutes. The task was fairly completed..nor did the pedestrian appear at all distress. d, though the weather was very sultry, and the high ground on one side of the road deprived him of the benefit of a slight breeze from the eastward. A collection was made for him, and be offered immediately after he Imi com pleted his task, to go 100 miles in 10 hours. on the next day : to start with the mail roach from thiii place. and to reach Exeter two hours before its arrival there, or to wheel a barrow with 6 cwt. in it, six miles in an hour, provided a sefficient inducement were held cost to hint.

Toe Waarnaa.—Yesterday was the hottest day experienced this season, iu the metropolis. The ther mometer, in the Strand, was 84 degrees between one and two o'clock. For two or three evening, previous lightning had appeared, and in the afternoon the clouds began to collect and indicate an approaching storm. A little before seven o'clock a shower came on. accompanied with thunder and lightning, and as the evening advanced the rain fell heavily,or, according to the Scottish phrase, its " an even-down pour." Never was rain more seasonable for the garden crops or for the oats and barley on light tanJs, and considering the time it fell it was abundant. In the course of three bouts the fell,according to the rai n-guageousounted is 3 maths of an inch. From all parts .of the kingdom we have received accounts that the weather daring the last week has been exceedingly sultry, and the pro gress of vegetation proportionally rapid. Respecting the degree of heat experienced in some places, the ac counts appear incredible to us, who strive to be atten tive obs of the physical as well as political ther mometer. At York, it is said, the thermometer, in a northern aspect was, on Wednesday et noon, 82, and at Knareaborough 87 ; and at Warwick, this day week, it is stated to have risen to 93 in the shade !!! Near Lewes, also, it is reported to ►av e been one day last week, so high as 86 ; and et Liverpool, on Tuesday last, at 84. Is Dublin, howe►er, on Tim re day last it was mimed high, though only 70 at 3 o'clock ; and et Cork, on the Ist instant, 74. la the latter city, on the 3d, it is said there were more thunder and lightning, accompanied with heavy rain than were perhaps ever experienced i■ that climate. At York a similar storm occurred en Wednesday even ing last. This storm extended northward into Scot land. Near Morpeth, a mare Ind foal were killed in a geld by the lightning, and a man was struck dead, while at plough. Os the afternoon preceding soother storm passed over Edinburgh. The pealsof thunder were loud and frequent and the lightoi ng remarkably vivid. I t was accompaoled by a mixed shower of rain end hail of such violence that the lower parts of the Old Town were completely inundated Ina few minutes. The flood was so great, and at the same time so sudden, that two children who had been amusing themselves at the back of the castle were surrounded by the water rushing Mows to tb.'
