REPORT SY TRY COMMISSIONERS FOR THE HERRING FISHERY, OF THEIR PROCEEDINGS, YEAR ENDED ST/1 APRIL 1824; saixo FISHING 1823. The Provisions of the Fishery Acts, and the regulations made by the Commissioners for improving the construction of casks, and the cure of fish intended for bounty, are now so well understood, and so generally observed, that in their proceedings during the year ended ith April 1024, little has occurred requiring particular notice in this Report It has been the object of the Commissioners to uphold the reputation of the Official Brand,and to raise the character of the British Fishery, by every means they could devise. For this purpose, the attention, both of the officers and curers, has been again directed to the propriety of having the fish prepared, so as to suit the different 31arkets for which they are destined ; and mew. sures have been taken for introducing a more perfect knowledge of the Dutch mode of cure, for Herrings intended for the Continent of Europe. The stations have, as usual, been surveyed by the general inspectors during the fishing season ; the naval superin tendents have been employed In preventing depredations. and pre serving order at the fishery, wherever their presence could be use ful ; and the accommodation of the Trade has been studied, by removing the officers from one district to another, as occasion re quired. From • comparison of the Accounts presented with those of the preceding year, it will be found that, although the produce of the West Highland Fishery is still very deficient, the fishing, u pon . the whole, has been most abundant. The total quantity of He rrings cured is 31h2,190i barrels, of which 299,031 barrels have been found entitled to bounty, and 239,11301 barrels.h are been exported, being an increase over the preceding year of 143,321 i barrels in the quan tity cured, of 0fi,521 barrels in the quantity branded, and of 69,1834 barrels in the quantity exported. The condition of the Herrings has been represented to the Commissioners as superior to that of any former year ; and although the prices iontinued low, they have every reason to believe, notwithstanding the great quan tity taken, that few herrings remained in the hands of the curers in this country, at the commencement cf the ensuing season. It will be found also, that the Accounts of the Cod and Ling Fishery exhibit a comparison equally favourable. In the year under consideration, the number of vessels cleared out for the tonnage bounty. is 102, while the total quantity of fish found en titled tollounty is 63,590 cwt.. cured, dried, and 5,407 barrels cured in pickle, and the total quantity exported Is '23,098 cwta. cured dried ; being an increase over the r eceding year, of 14 in the number of vessels ; of 9,0114 ewts. Dried Fish, and 1,746 barrels pickled fish, in the quantity found entitled to bounty, and of 3.00 cwts. in the quantity exported. The cure of the fish has also been represented to the Commissioners as having been much improved, en.' the demand for them so great, that the whole were quickly disposed of at remunerating prices.

By WILLIAM JONES, Author of the Biblical Cyclopatlia, &c. London.: Printed for the Author, and sold by W. Simpkin and R. Marshall, Stationers' Hall-court, and all Hookst The following account of this work is given in the Monthly Re. view, June, 1814: " The able narrative which we have been perusing, leaves on the mind impressions of the utmost detestation of the spiritual tyranny exercised by the Court of Rome. Providence never made use of so terrible a scourge to chastise mankind. No power ever outraged the interests of society, the principles of justice, and the claims of humanity, to the same extent. Never did the world behold such blasphemy, profligacy, and wantonness, as in the proceedings of this spiritual domination. it held the human mind in chains; visited with exemplary punishment every inroad on the domains or ignorance; and sank nations into a state of stupidity and imbe cility. Its proscriptions, massacres, murders, and all the various forms which its cruelties assumed ; the miseries which it heaped on the objects of its vengeance, its merciless treatment of them, and the grasp of its iron sway. seemed at one time to leave no room to hope for the liberation of the human race ; and surely nothing can appear more hideous than this power in its true colours: it leases the mind full of horror at its cruelties."—See also the British Critic, for June, 11113—Eclectic Review, July, 1818—Evangelical Maga. sine, 1813. . . . . .

The Paris Morning and Evening Papers of Monday ar rived last night. By the latter we find that the Chamber of Peers is yet occupied with the consideration of the new law of sacrilege. The Deputies were engaged with the re port of petitions, and some projects of little interest. On Wednesday the report of the law for the reduction of the Renter was to be presented by M. Ile ESNs DE POMM E risk. At the same sitting, a project of law for the settlement of the accounts of 1g23 was to be laid before the Chamber, and the Budget for 1836. According to the Caurricr Francais, FERDINAND VII. is In a really dangerous state of health. Having by his dishonesty, obstinacy, and tyranny, involved himself in difficulties apparently insurmountable, he falls into a vio lent rage with all around him, and complains that they abuse his confidence and mislead him. He now feels how much more raily free and happy he would have been had he reposed on the affection of his people, instead of calling for the aid of foreigners to coerce them into submission to his capricious will. To be an absolute King is not, he has learned, even the best mode of insuring his safety. Troubles and dissensions continue in every part of Spain. In the Eloile dated Tuesday there is a paragraph to the following effect : " LiTctEar Illuaar (son of the Ex.liing of Nket-rs) was at Gibraltar, on his way (as he said) to the United States of North America. Being taken on the Spanish territory, he was arrested and sent to prison in Algesims. On his arrival at Algcsiras he was interrogated by General JOSE pit O'Dow mut-, who did not conceive that he had received orders from Madrid to arrest him, if he should set foot on the Spanish territory." The Courrier P•ancais says, that LUCIEN Mutter was enticed on to Spanish ground by a Spanish Colonel with whom he had become acquainted at Gibraltar, and who took him out on a sporting party ; but that as he had an Aus trian passport, granted with the consent of the Powers of the Holy Alliance, and as he is an Austrian subject, it is probable the Austrian Ambassador will interfere in his favour.

OVVRARD, who during the WI; ritiN's campaign in the Peninsula, found means to provide the French army, though at no very reasonable prices, with those supplies of provisions which the regular Commissariat were, or pre tended to be, unable to obtain. Our correspondent mentioned some time ago, that the report of the commission would im plicate several persons standing high as Military Intendants itethat campaign, and that an attempt had been made to:pro cure the suppression of the Report, by representing to the Deceit►\ that it would involve in public disgrace some of those who most largely shared his confidence. His Royal Highness, it may be remembered, declared that he would not interfere. "If my confidence has been betrayed," said the Dan PH IN, " I am sorry for those who have abused it; but I cannot prevent the truth from being :Wade known, nor hinder the commission from discharging the duty confided to it?. The KING, it now appears, has been governed by sentiments equally honourable end praiseworthy. The Minister of IVar prays that justice may be done, and his Most Chris tian MAJESTY answers, by referring the Report to the Department of Justice, " to cause the laws of the king dom to be executed." M. Domains was arrested a few weeks ago for debt, and after an ineffectual attempt to ob tain his release, committed the prison of St. Pelagic. In the Etwie of Tuesday, it is stated, that against Ouc— aar.D, ROL LAC, and some others, inculpated in the frau dulent transactions of 1823, on Saturday last, a suit was comineticed by the French Government. Distant has been examined, and the seal put upon all his papers. We have purposely abstained, for some time past, from adverting to the affairs of Ireland. We felt the difficulty of bringing them under discussion without introducing the topic of the CAruoeic ASSOCIA T 1 s, and we felt un willing to 'agitate a subject which Parliament was so soon to set at rest. Now that the public attention has been drawn to it in all its bearings, and the line of policy to be adopted towards it has been decided upon, it is still less necessary to bring it inm controversy. 'We deeply deplore the wrongs which Ireland has suffered, and still suffers, but . we likewise deeply lament the imprudence of the Catholic - Leaders in Ireland, who, when those wrongs were in a fair way of alleviation—when the aspect of affairs was daily becotning snit-ler—when their equal claims to justice were beginning to be respected, with more of practical sincerity add positive effect than they had ever hitherto been—when he horiion was clearing up on every side, — should imprudently call into action all those passions and prejudices of their Catholic countrymen, which it was so desirable to allay, and to rouse—as by this most injudicious and ill-timed zeal they did—a counter-activity on the side of the Protestant party, and thes fnrniihed a pretext—and a plausible one too—to their inveterate enemies, for resist ing their claims, by referring to the influential dominion of the Catholic Commanders, as a specimen of what might be expected from the whole Catholic body. The error of this conduct was fundamental. It had the appearance at least— which for the purpose of evil was enough—of taking the authority of the Government out of the hands in which it was vested, and—what made it still worse—out of those hands which had exercised it all along in the epirit of equity, and with an equal eye to the rights Leith of Protestant and Catholic. To suffer this usurpation on the supreme authority was to sanction it. Government could not have done this without abandoning their trust, and in putting it down they have done well and wisely. But the great question is still behind, that of CATHOLIC Ilst.izr— we dislike the term EY•NCIPATION—we consider it at objectionable, inasmuch as it comprehends much more than either is or ought to be included in the subject to which it is applied. It presupposes the Catholics to he slayer. We talk of the emancipation of the Negroes. As applied to their condition, the term may be suitable; but in its ordinary use, as applied to Ireland, it not only carries all our conceptions wide of the truth, but it mingles itself invidiously with all those deliberations on the state of Ire land, from which everything of bitterness and exasperation should be excluded. The suppression of the CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION it a tnesSure with which the claim of the Catholics to he re lieved from the civil disabilities to which they aresubjected en account of their religious creed, stands entirely uncon nected. The justice of a claim is one thing ; the approval of the mode in which it is asserted is another. That there la much to be reformed as respects the Catholics of Ireland. and much to be conceded, Ministers—Mr. CANNING among The foremost—fairly and unequivocally acknow ledge. But Parliament demand that this reform and these concessions shall 'be given iy, and not be forced fn them :—that fully recognising the right, they shall be per mitted to decide on the time and mode of granting it—that the power shall be lodged with them, and not with the Catholic Association or with Mr. O'Coxxnt.t, to balance the for and against in public opinion, and to relieve the Catholics at once, or by degrees, from all the penal disqua lifications which attach to them, according as either may be done without the risk of throwing everything into con fusion anti danger. Quid sit futurum eras, Age snserere, is not the motto for a Statesman. That a mass of prejudice exists against the admission of the Catholic claims there is no doubt. That this prejudice is most unwarrantable and unworthy is equally true; but still it exists, and exists in a degree that may make it matter of prudence not to proceed rashly in doing violence to it. If the exclus;on of the Ca tholics from the best privileges of British subjects, excited everywhere—as the'y ought—the same adverse feelings which they excite in Mr. CANNING, and in the minds of the best-judging and most reflective men in the kingdom. both in and out of Parliament, then to regenerate Ireland and to do her justice would be no difficult task. But a Minister, in whatever he is to provide fur, and in whatever he is to provide agat`nst, in political institutions, must watch the time and the season. Ile has to deal with man as he is, and he must mike the best of things as they are. Under the government of Lord Ws: Ltest.ny much real and substantial good has been effected for Ireland ; and these were only the beginnings of what was to be done, and will be done yet, to secure to her the en joyment of her civil rights, and the franchises of the British Constitution. The real friends of the Cat:iolic cause have observed with great grief, that its leaders pursued a course so impolitic and so impetuous, that none but their enemies could be their advocates. It would be but candid, however, to admit that their intemperance was not wholly without a2ology. Their future course, there is every reason to believe, will be moderate and dignified; persuaded as they most be by experience, that any opposite movements must thin the ranks of their adherents, and taking—as it would do—from their corduct all vindication, would end in leaving their cause without support. They have already thrown many obstacles in the way of its advancement. But we trust the epoch which is to begin the reign of equity and justice in Ireland, is not far off; her immediate appli cations may fail, but her ultimate success is not doubtful. The Money Markets were steady yesterday. During the whole of the morning, Consols both for Money and the Account were at the same prices, via. 933 91. In the Foreign Market the various Securities firmly maintained the prices of the preceding day. New Greek Scrip was at If to 11; Spanish Bonds were done all day at :24,1. and a good deal sought after ; Colombian Bonds were steady at 91 ; New Nlesican Scrip was at Si, and Brazilian at 11 ; Mines were a little flat in the early part of the morning, but they soon recovered, and maintained Tuesday's prices to the close of the Market.
