Every practical fisherman who has paid attention to the history and habits of the salmon will at once per ceive its great utility. Third—Every facility should be afforded for the passage of th e tish. The canal gates should be opened twice a week, from the Ist Feb. to ti:e Ist June, to let the spent salmon fiy pass to the sluices, as of old, should be opened above the wheels of all mills in rivers for the same purpose, and these sluices should be entirely open wh: n the machinery is undergoing repair, and from Saturday night to Monday morning. The cruive part of all yairs should be made of four-inch net to let the fry pass through from the Ist of April to the Ist of June. With the same view a" hake" should be placed at the lower corner of all cruive dykes. Both should be keFir clear under a penalty for neglect.— ; ,' At present it is utterly impossible that the fry can' t pass, and th ousan d s are every season p i c k e d up b y: sea-gulls and ducks.

We are indebted to a friend for a perusal of this Report, which comprehends by far the most complete and well digested body of information respecting railway carriage that we have seen. We consider it extremely valuable, especially to civil engineers ; and as the experiments now making in Liverpool give a peculiar interest to the subject, we shall present our readers with some of Mr. Walker's general conclusions. Mr. Walker and Mr. Rastrick were employed in Ja nuary last, jointly, by the Railway Company, to report upon the matters indicated in the title. In pursuance of this object, they visited all the principal railways. in the North of made the most minute and careful inquiries as to the vehicles and species of moving power em ployed on them,. and then gave the result of their investigations in separate reports. Mr. Rastrick's report we have not seen, but we un derstand it agrees in every essential circumstance with Mr. Walker's. This day were published, in I vol.

Fourth—Heritors of fishings might keep out their boat and herrir,ignet for the purpose of tat,, tiii all sorts of trouts, char, pike, &c. In close time it would be necessary to limit their time from ten to four o'clock. At all times, however, heritors or such gentlemen as had obtained their permission, might be allowed_to angle for all sorts of trout. The foregoing appear to me to be highly im portant regulations, the establishment of which would be attended with the best results. Of course some additional provisions would be required, and full protection ought to be extended to the rivers.— Poachers should be su.nmoned by the river-keepers before the Water Bailie for the time being, but his own and witnesses' oaths should be taken on his be half—a right from which the present Act unjustly debars alleged offenders. If but half the attention, Mr. Editor, had been bestowed on this important branch of our national productions and revenue, that has been extended to others, we should not have heard such-frequent and general complaints of the falling off in the number of salmon. I hope, however, that some of our public-spirited pro prietors and IV embers of Parliament will be induced to re-consider the subject, and to propose some mo dification of the present existing Act, " which (to use the words ofJunius) can only pass without cen sure when it passes without observation."

Our readers will observe in our Paper this week, and in some of our recent numbers, ob servations from correspondents on the late Act for regulating Salmon Fisheries in Scotland, which, coming as they do from intelligent and practical men, are entitled to sonic considera tion. By prohibiting all fishing until the Ist of February, the Act has certainly pressed with great severity on the Northern fishers, and we know of one gentleman who ha 2 lost at least 5001. per annum by it. The Ness is one of the earliest fishing rivers in Scotland, being from the im mense depth of the lake from which it derives its source, considerably milder in temperature than almost any other stream. Hence it is early frequented by the fish, and its proprietors had an almost undivided monopoly of the market for fully two months in every season. One of our correspondents, Mr. Fraser, of Dochnalarg, has we are glad to find, been 0 long engaged in minute observations on the natural history and habits of the salmon, and has accumulated a vast variety of curious information on the subject, which we trust he will lay before the public. Natural history of all kinds is one of the most pleasing and interesting of studies, and, as honest Izaak Walton says of Angling, " it is like the mathe matics, never fully learned, or at least never without room for new experiments." The at tachment of the salmon to his native stream, like that of young pigeons to their first dovecote, is well known, and the struggles he will undergo from weirs, waterfalls, &c. to reach it, is equally remarkable. His rapid growth is also a curious trait in his history. Mr. Fraser informs us that in February last he marked several young salmon by cutting off part of their fins, and then re committed them to their native element, the pure waters of Loch Ness. On the first of September following, he again caught two of the fish, pre cisely at the same spot, and though neither of them when first taken could weigh more than five pounds, they had in the interval, after their pilgrimage to the sea, almost trebled their bulk, each weighing about fourteen pounds. Mr. Fraser has also discovered that the fry will fre quently remain alive at least four months—from Ist April to Ist August—buried amongst sand and shingle in the spawning beds, till a swell in the river penetrate their recesses and afford them the means of extricating themselves. Minute facts and observations of this sort all tend to illustrate the secret operations of nature, and should not be lest. They are valuable too, in pointing to useful conclusions, for it is obvious that by attending to the condition of the spawn ing beds, and supplying them when dry with a lead of water, the fish might be multiplied almost ad infinitum. To the EDITOR of the INVERNESS COURIER. Sut,—ln a former letter I promised to submit to your readers a plan by which the evils attendant on the late Act for regulating our Scottish Fisheries would be wholly obviated. Regulations of this kind are easily framed, but the following are the result of long experience and observation, and would tend to increase the number of salmon on a river with the same certainty and facility that I can in crease my flock of lambs by adding to the number of ewes. First—All rivers producing clean salmon should be allowed to be fished from St. Andrew's day to the 10th August in the first year; to the 26th August in the second and third years; and in the fourth year to return to the same period as the first. The fish left in the first year would in the second and third years return full grown sal mon, and would when taken early be worth fully a shilling per pound to the tacksman, whereas they are not worth more than 3d. per pound when taken in August or September. Second—Taeksmen or their overseers, or the river keepers, ought to visit the spawning beds on all rivers occa s ionally, from December to the Ist of August, in order to draw a small lead of water from the nearest high water on such of the spawning beds as appear on dry ground. By this means the ova would be kept fre s h ; an d one man i n ten mi nutes might preserve thousands of ova and living fry in their respective i seasons. For want of such as sistance the loss n fish has hitherto been incal i culable, and I am therefore disposed to consider MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London Nev., Price Current of yesterday.) SuGaß.—The Sugar Market last week gradually im proved ; the holders became more firm, and the purchases were extended to nearly 3,000 hhds. and tees. ; the prices were without var'ation, except that the buyers could not purchase on such favourable terms as during the preced ing week. This day the Sugar Market is rather dull, owing to the purchases for the next two weeks becoming due about Christmas, when money is generally scarce, and little or no business doing; the estimated sales this day are 900 hhd.. and tees., including the Barbadoes public sale, which went is. per cwt. lower. Prices of Muscovades a shade lower. The stocks now (taking the three dock warehouses) are about 6,000 hhds. and tees. more than last year, all next week they will probably be alike; the only bad feature in the Sugar Market is the failing off in theweekly deliveries, the last week „nearly 1,000 hhde. and tees. less than the corresponding. week of . ISr.B. Total deliveries from the warehouses last week 2,891 hhds. and tees., and 2,732 hag•. Stock in London and St. Katharine's Dock. '7,061 hhds. and tees. ; Havannah Sugar 3.697 boxes, Brazil 1,422 boxes, Mauritius 7,962 bags. The request for refined goods increased consider ably last week; the demand for home consumption was considerable, and was produced by the wholesale grocers being entirely out of stock; 'the request for export was chiefly for the Mediterranean ; the purchases made were at prices a shade lower. The letters from Hamburg state the arrival of refined goods from the United States; low lumps sold at 28s. 6d., the quality was very bad, but it shows the gradual improvethent in America, and we have no doubt that in a few years she will become a for midable rival to England for both raw and refined Sugars in the Continental markets. This afternoon the whole sale grocers appear purchasing on a limited scale : the demand for export is so considerable that the market is kept bare of goods, hut the prices of low lumps are a shade lower; the purchases for the Mediterranean con tinue, goods for the double bounty also crushed, the re quest for Bastards is also considerable. Molasses 6d. lower. EAST INDIA SuoAa.—By public sale on Friday last 4541 bags of Mauritius Sugars, a good parcel; nearly the whole sold Is. per cwt. lower, particularly the Sugars about 50s. Few purchases of - Bengal Sugar were lately reported. FOREIGN SUGAR.—The purchases of Foreign Sugars, 100 chests fair white Havannah 475., middling yellow 2Ss. ; 100 boxes low to middling white Rios 325. ; 25 hhds. good yellow Porto Rico 255. to 255. 6d. COFFEE.—The purchases of last week were rather on a confined scale; the ordinary descriptions of Jamaica went off with more spirit, and at rather higher prices, the other descriptions unvaried ; there was much competition for some fine parcels of Berbice Coffee, but ordinary and unclean descriptions were very dull at a decline of 2s. a 3s. A parcel of passd ordinary coloury Brazil sold at 345. 6d. ; 400 bags good ordinary Batavia sold at 325. ; the latter was 6d. to Is. lower. The three public sales this forenoon consisted of 297 casks 10 bags British Plantation, 544 bags Malabar and 347 bags Foreign; the Brazil sound 325. a 325. 6d., which is 6d. to ls. lower; the Jamaica and Berbice sold at full prices ; the Malabar chiefly taken in 50s. a 555., which is 28. a 3s. lower. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Government contract at Is. 93d. has an unfavourable effect on the Market; some parcels of Leewards are reported, averaging proofs at ls. 9d. ; in Jamaica Rums there ace no pur chases of any extent. Brandy continues firm. In Ge neva there are no sales worth reporting. To-day some Jamaica 11 to 16 over-proof 2s. 4d. a 2s. sd. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—TaIIow has become very heavy, one of the most eminent firms being determined and extemive sellers both of parcels here and also fur fu ture deliveries. Ilemp and Flax are also dull. The let ters from St. Petersburgh are dated 3i inst. Exchange 10d. 21-82; Tallow 98 to 99; Bought 1,600. Ships arrived 747; Ships sailed 573. 'INDIGO.-The sale commenced on Wednesday, it con sists of 6,644 chests Licensed, and 915 Company's Indigo; 2,726 chests Bengal, 225 Madras, and 115 Oude have pissed the sale ; 800 chests have been bought in, and 720 chests withdrawn; Bengal, ord. and fine 6d. to 9d. under last sale, mid. Is. lower; Madras 6d. per lb. lower; the marks not supported by the proprietors have gone off with great languor ; the third day's sale went oil' with rather more spirit than the two first days. The sale is post poned till Wednesday, on account of yesterd iv and this day being Jews' holydays. Good and fine violet 6s. 3d. a 7 1 .

Ireland, with its seven millions, producing considerabty lets revenue than Scotland with two millions. The trade from Liverpool to Manchester is estimated by the Directors at 2000 tons per clay of goods, or 3000 tons gross ; that is, including the carriages which convey them. Mr. Walker wns required to frame his report with reference to this amount of carriage. The length of the railway is 34 miles. It has two tracks, one for going, and another for re turning ; and three inclined planes, one in the tunnel at Liverpool, lk mile long, rising 1 foot in 48 ; one at Rainhill, 7 miles eastward, rising 1 foot in 96, and q mile long; and one at Sut ton of the same length and depth. The other parts of the line scarcely differ sensibly from a dead level, never rising more than 1 foot in 800. Mr. Walker assumes the most convenient lo comotive engine to have a sower of 10 horses, wheels 5 feet diameter, steam at 40 or 501bs. per square inch, and to weigh with its tender (a car riage which follows with coals and water) 10 tons. It will be observed, that the Rocket, the Novelty, and other engines now trying at Liver pool, have not one-half of this weight. An en gine of this description, he finds, can take 191 ; tons gross, or 13 tons of goods, and 6 of wag gons, at ten miles per hour, which is reduced to nine by stoppages. It will cost, with its tender, 720/. Its annual expence in working, he esti. mates at 561. for capital (assuming it to last 20 years), at 107/. for annual repairs, and 204/. for wages, coal, &c. The original cost of a steam horse, therefore, is 720/., and the annual ex pence of working him 367/. This locomotive machine will make three trips daily between Liverpool and Manchester, with thirteen tons of goods, which is equal to the conveyance of 1170 tons one mile. Now, estimating the daily traffic at four thousand tons conveyed thirty miles, or 120,000 tons one mile, the work upon the railway will require one hun dred and two engines, costing 37,0001. of an nual expence. But four stationary engines are necessary at the inclined planes, and these in crease the annual charge to 43,0001. This may be considered a 3 the entire annual expence upon the locomotive system ; and this divided accord ing to the quantity of goods conveyed, gives an expence of .2787 of a penny, or a little more than one farthing (li. farthing precisely) per mile for each ton of goods. This is the mere expence for vehicles and traction, exclusive of railway dues. One-fifth more engines than are used require to be kept, to supply the place of those under re pair. Adding these, the amount of capital ne cessary to furnish the locomotive and fixed en ables with their appendages, upon this plan, will be 91,000/. This is exclusive of the steam power to be employed at the tunnel. Air. Walker next estimates the expence of the Stationary Engine System. Upon this system, the line is to be divided into stations of 1 miles, and in some cases of one mile long, with two engines at each. It is assumed that the fixed engines are to drag the carriages at 12 miles an hour, which it is reduced to by stoppages. The whole line would, according to this plan, require 41 steam engines, viz.—two. of 60-horse power, 15 of 30-horse- power, and the others of 12 or 20. These engines would cost 87,0001.; but the other necessary articles being added, the en tire capital required would be 101,0001. The annual expence of working the fixed engines would be 33,0001. ; and this sum divided by the number of tons conveyed makes the rate per mile 2134, cr one-fifth of a penny, for each mile. We may now show the results in j uxta- position. Capital necessary on the locomotive system Ditto, on the stationary system afrerenee in favour of the locomotive...

Difference 1-16th of a penny, or Or the rate by the two 3ystems is as seven to nine in favour tit the stationary engines. We should have mentioned that Mr. Walker assumes the friction upon a well made railway to be 1-180th, or that a force of traction of 12-,;- pounds will carry forward a ton at 2-.) ; miles per hour. The consumption of fuel is estimated at 2-!--lbs. per mile for each ton of goods. The advantage of the locomotive engine over the horse is little•ur nothing when we work with low velocities, but becomes very great when h ig h velocities are employed. On the Brunton and Shield's line, horse power is found to cost .45 of a penny, or very near a half-penny per mile, for the ton. But this is at the animal's most advantageous speed, 2 1 miles per hour. If it is raised t o six miles an 2 hour, the expenee would be three times as much, and at 10 miles an hour it would rise to 3d. per ton. On the Darlington Railway the Engine men supply firemen and assistants with coals, oil, tallow, &e. for an allowance of ,} ti . per ton per mile. The finding and repair of the engine is estimated to cost Id. more, For a horse and driver the Company pay -kd. per mile for the ton.

At pre sent the charge varies from 12s. to 205., and may average about 15s. Now it is estimated that about 2,000 tons pass each way daily ; and as 10s. will be saved upon each ton, it follows that the saving upon 4,000 tons will amount to 2,0001. per day, or the enormous sum of 600,000/. per annum !—a saving such as no single improvement ever before produced. And in this estimate we do not take into account the advantage derived from the unexampled speed of c ommunication, ~ vhich will give Liverpool and Manchester nearly all the facility of intercourse they could possess if they were parts of one city. —Scotsman. HOLYHEAD PACKETS. k From the Dublin 21 , .Turning Register.) It has been stated as an answer to complaints uttered lately relative to the lateness of Holyhead packets, that on an average of voyages it is found that Holyhead and Howth answer better am packet stations than Liverpool and Dublin. We should judge a priori, and without the light of the least experience, that the former must be pre ferable to the latter station, and from this plain reason, that there is necessarily incidental to it fewer of the obstructions of adverse wind and tide. While a packet from Liverpool is plod ding its weary way in unfavourable weather to the longitude of Holyhead, and making probably not five knots an hour, a coach is running on mer rily to the latter point at the rate of nine or ten. A coach, almost in any weather, will go at the average speed of a steam-packet in ordinary weather ; and it is clear, therefore, that the navi gation which best answers the Post-office is that which is conducted between the nearest points of land. No one, then, who knows ans thing of the matter, wishes for a change of the station not that from Holyhead to Liverpool. P u t th ere i s, nevertheless,public mind ;there a strong wish operating ot on the there s be any change in the stations, but a material ono in the vessels. The vessels on the Holyhead station are propelled by engines of only half the usual and necessary power. Clearly they should have engines of the greatest efficiency, else it is a precious humbug to talk of facilitating tho tercourse between " the seats of the two govern ments ;" and those who were instrumental in causing so many hundreds of thousands to be spent on the Holyhead road, in filling hollows, levelling hills and straightening circuits, ought to be transported beyond the seas for the term and period of their natural lives I There is only one objection to an arrangement so much de-, manded by the public convenience, and so ens tirely in conformity with what has been previa ously done to speed the intercourse with Lon don, and that is the hobby of the individual con nected with the English Post-office, 'ho origi nally suggested the establishment of Liverpool as well as Holyhead packets. It is his hobby that things should remain as they are. He is anxious to show his wisdom ; to evince his perfect bility in execution as well as design. Ile prog nosticated certain things as arising from the rivalship set up against the Company's packets, and he wishes to have his soothsaying in every part of it verified. There can be no doubt that it is the mere whimsicality of this gentleman, or some paltry and peddling speculation relative to passengers' fees, that keeps our mails so fre quently late, and renders nugatory all the won ders achieved on the Holyhead road, as set forth in, we suppose, thirty volumes of. reports presented to Parliament. It is astonishing that no remonstrance from the Chamber of Com merce or any other body in this country has brought under the consideration of the authoris ties on the other side the consepences to public convenience, and even the interests of trade, arising from the whimsicality or the , peddlin , s to which ever source the grievance complained of is traceable. We have heard that these never ending and always bothering Commissioners of Inquiry, are about to betake themselves to packet stations, and to report of all things that were ever heard or thought of concerning them, and many more into the bargain. It parties here, whose voices ought to he heard at the fountain of authority, and listened to with de ference, wait until these bothering fellows corms to the end of their mvstification and nonsense, 18-10 w ill overtake us before the most obviously necessary alteration or modification in the packet, or any other useful or rational system, will be even attempted. A middle-aged man, named SAYERS, in the employ of Mr. RANGER, a builder of this place, while pulling down an old house at Boxhill, on Friday, that a new one might be erected on the site, a portion of the rub bish fell in upon him; he was discovered j.mmed in be tween the wall raid an own a short lime wtarwards, but quite dead. He has left a wi.hAr and steer' or eight chi!. dren to lament his pretnature end. EXETER :kIAR Beef (score) Ss Od. S. 6tl.
