THOMAS MUSGRAVE, Secretary, TO BE LET, a BUTCHER'S SHOP. Enquire at Mr. John Betts, 29, Knightsbridge. Price 2001. HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, AUG. 13.—The Chamber of Representa tives agreed yesterday to the treaty between the Nether lands and Belgium, by a majority of 65 to 6. Six members declined voting. Within a short time wet-have regulated by treaties our commercial relations with fotir important powers—the Zollverein, France, the United Si ales, and the Netherlands. Henceforth we shall enjoy in these principal markets of the Continent, which are near to us, particular privi leges for some of our principal manufactures. Yester day a considerable majority in the Chamber sanctioned the treaty concluded on the 29th of July with the Netherlands ; in this majority were such as M. Delfosse, M. Osy, Messrs. Ropier and Lebeau. We rejoice at this. Certainly next to France if there is a people with whom we ought to wish to live in harmony, and exten sive commercial intercourse, it is Holland. There was a difficulty after the unfortunate difference which arose between us at the beginning of this year ; it was, to effect a renmeiliation in which neither of the two nations should suffer, either in its dignity or interest, looking over the list of men in our Chamber, who in subscribing to the treaty have set aside their political opinions, and consequently forgotten that this treaty would be a source of moral strength to the Ministry. We may, therefore, say boldly that the two Governments in signing the treaty of the 29th of July, have listened to the voice of reason and interest, which on both sides was equally averse to the reciprocal hostilities of the tariff. The King and Queen arrived yesterday evening(Tues day) at Ostend, from the Isle of Wight. Atni. 14.—The Chamber of Representatives met yes. terday at half-past two, and agreed to a project of loan for a vote of credit of 3,712,000 francs to the Department of Public Works, and to another of 160,000 francs to the same department. The Senate received from the Chamber of Represen tatives two messsages, relative, Ist, to the treaty with Holland ; 2d, to the vote of credit, 3,711,000 francs for the Department of Public Works. AUGUST 15.—The Senate heard yesterday the report to a second project of law sent up from the Chamber of Representatives, and commenced the general debate on the treaty with Holland. The discussion was fixed for eight o'clock in the evening on which the senate sanc tioned the treaty with Holland, and the projects of law for the votes of credit for the Department of Public Works; after which the Minister of Finance read the Royal ordinance closing the session. The Chamber separated with cries of " Vive le Ro The King and Queen have arrived at Lacken. ' pursue the enemy and cut off the retreat of Schamyl. The latter marched through Lower Kabardia, and crossed the Terek, between Jekaderinagrad and Prischipskaja, and on reaching the steppes of Upper Kabardia, he formed his army into two divisions, one of which, under his own command, proceeded towards the north, me nacing Georgiefsk, whilst the other, headed by the Naib Hadj-Muret, advanced towards the west, in the direction of the territory of the Kabardia and Tartar tribes, in habiting the steppes to the north of the Elbrus. A small portion of the Kabardians, frightened at the approach of those savage hordes, which threatened them with de struction, joined the standard of Schamyl. Other tribes iutrenched themselves in their aouls, or villages, and op posed an obstinate resistance ; but the main part of the population abandoned the country and retired towards the north, in the direction of Stavropol. Upwards of 60 aouls were taken, plundered, and burnt by the enemy. The number of stanitzas, or Cossack villages, which fell into the hands of Schamyl is not exactly known, but is estimated at between 16 and 20. After ravaging the country between Georgiefsk. Schamyl suddenly marched to the east, re-crossed the Terek, between Mardok and Naurskaja, and re-entered the defiles of the Upper Tschetschina, without having experienced any severe los4, from the inability of the Russian troops, in pursuit of him on three different points, to come up with his main force. There were some skirmishes between the Cossacks and the cavalry of Hadj Muret, who had effected a junction with Schamyl in Lower Kabardia, and f orme d his rear-guard. The mountaineers, in one of these en counters. left 200 killed in the field, but upwards of 1,500 Kabardians followed Schamyl into the mountains, and the booty captured by him in Kabardia is immense. A SPANISH ROBBER. (Extract from a letter dated Madrid, August 8.) An act of singular ferocity took place a day or two ago in the prison of Salamanca. A notorious robber and murderer, of the name of Patino, the terror of the sure rounding country for years, was lately captured and tried by court-martial. He was at first sentenced to be shot, but the military authorities thinking such a mode of punishment too honourable for such a miscreant, obtained its commutation to strangling by the garote. On the morning of the 3d instant, the turnkey pro ceeded, as is usual, to inform the criminal that the Judge of First Instance, accompanied by the escribano, had arrived, to announce, in form, his sentence, and to transfer him to the condemned chapel, pre paratory to his execution. He was found with one of his legs released from the fetters, having skilfully em ployed a file for that purpose, which he had concealed on his person. Though still bound to the iron bar which traversed the dungeon, he flung himself on the turnkey, seized the massive keys, struck him on the head, and dashed him against the wall outside. He then locked the door, and shut himself up in the cell. The officers of the prison, the judge, and chaplain implored him to cease such fruitless resistance, and to open the door, or pass the keys through the grating. He refused, and uttered against them the most horrible imprecations. A blacksmith was called to undo the lock, but he did not succeed, its massive strength resistingall his efforts. Haif a-dozen strong men then tried to break open the door with crowbars and heavy p'eces of timber. They suc ceeded, and the door fell in fragments. The f ur y o f th e criminal rose the n t o it s height. He placed himself be hind a strong beam which went across the upper part of the door on the inside, and, brandishing the formidable key, actually broke the head of the first man who at tempted to effect an entrance. The wounded man was dragged out by the legs by his comrades. The others tried to enter in a body, but it was impossible; the door., way was too narrow. For more than a quarter of an hour he kept them at bay, and answered to the entrea ties of the officers and the prayers of the priest with the most awful blasphemies and the most disgusting ob scenities. He then flung the keys at their heads with kis utmost force, and severely wounded two persons. Seeing all entreaties useless, a party of soldiers was called to the spot. The officers of the guard once more summoned him to surrender, but he replied with the grossest ribaldry and the most insulting gestures, and howled defiance to the whole garrison. The soldiers were ordered to load their muskets; while they were doing so he wounded the officer with a piece of lime -stone. The priest seeing that he was about to be shot down like a wild beast in his den, entreated the men to fire low, so as to disable, but not to kill him, in order that some chance might yet remain of repentance. A shot was fired, but it missed him. The ruffian fell back to a dark corner of the dungeon, as far as his chain permitted, and from thence flung stones and pieces of mor tar at his assaulters. Another shot was fired through the grating, and broke his leg. The wound rendered him savage beyond all description. He bellowed, and howled, and foamed in rage; and still, dragging his smashed and bleeding limb along, flung missiles at the soldiers, who yet did not dare to venture into the dark ness of the dungeon. A third shot was fired, and his shoulder was broken. The arm fell lifeless by his side, and he lay on the ground. He called out that he sur rendered, but only because he could no longer resist. They entered, and he was dragged along the floor, bathed in his blood. As they were in the act orreplacing the broken fetter, he collected his remaining strength, and with his left hand struck the turnkeys with the iron on the head, and laid him at his feet. Three or four men threw themselves on him, and completely mas tered him. He was then removed to the condemned chapel, after the sentence had been duly notified. He was subsequently visited by the priest, who employed eve ry effort, but in vain, to bring him to a sense cf his condition. His exhortations and prayers were replied to with the filthiest obscenity and the most horrid execra tions. To the last moment he continued the same ; and even on the scaffold, seattd on the fatal chair, with the cold instrument of death about to clasp his bare neck, this monster in human form shouted to the horrified crowd about him curses and imprecations on God and man ' STATE OF TRADE.

Parties forcing sales of 40-inch gold end 72 reed shirtings are obliged to submit to very low prices. Indeed, there is scarcely anything doing-in this description of cloth. We anticipate a further de mand for printing cloth if we have fine weather for a few weeks ; and the reduction in the American tariff for prints will also hare a tendency to improve them. 26-inch GO reed-printers, 31b. 12oz. to 41b., at 3s. 9d. to 4s. ; 26-inch 66 reed-printers, 41b. 40z,, at 4s. 4d. to 4s. 4id. ; 27-inch 66 reed-printers, 41b.

In yarn there is very little doing, and prices of some counts of mule twist have declined Is. Bd. to Is. 4d. during the week ; for water twist there is not much alteration to notice.-- Manchester Advertiser, of Saturday. MANCHESTER.--There has been a :steady demand for sugar this week, and sales to a fair extent have been made at full prices; namely, Barbadoes from 465. to 525. and Bengal from 495. to 545. The market for silk con tinues in a depressed state, and the transactions this week are unimportant. There has been less inquiry for cot ton, and although no alteration can be quoted in prices, the previous value is not easily obtainable.-Manchester Guardian of Saturday. BRADFORD.-WOOI-Our market is well supplied with kinds of combing wools, and the business doing is barely an average, as the prices are too high to induce the spinners to buy, except to supply their immediate wants. Yarn-There is more doing in all kinds of yarns and a disposition to buy for future delivery; but the prices current are so very low that the spinners could not realise prime cost prior to the advance which is now being given on combing wages, and there is no disposi tion to sell, except at higher rates. Piece-The pros pects of an early reaped and abundant harvest are very cheering, and hold out good hopes for a good home trade for the autumn. The accounts from the west are equally satisfactory; and the passing of the reduced ta riffand the Bonded Duties Bill are looked upon as highly beneficial, so that we may expect to be busy throughout the winter. Our market has been very ac tive, and on some kinds of goods an advance has been given. - ROCHDALE.—The flannel market still continues inac tive, and the demand limited. Wool has undergone little variation, either in price or quantity sold. NOTTINGHAM—The market has this week been very quiet, especially in the plain department. In fancies more has been doing, really good patterns finding a ready sale both for home and foreign consumption.—Bradford Observer. PAISLEY.—An unprecedented stir exists here for the autumn trade at present. There is a very brisk demand for weavers, principally at tartan fabrics ; and warpers and winders, in particular, have not been so much in re quest for a dozen years past. This work for winders is a great relief to the town, and affords the means of sup port to many aged women who have long been in a very destitute condition.—Glasgow Saturday Post. HAWICK.—The trade of this place is uncommonly brisk. This is evidenced by the quantities of goods that are daily leaving our warehouses. We have heard that one house cleared out about seven tons of hosiery last week, and other firms are doing business on an equally extensive scale. A portion of these goods will cross the Atlantic, but the greater part are destined, we under stand, for the home market.--Kelso Chronicle. THE MOORS. , PEl...rerun Ann. 13.—8 y the break of day, yesterday, sportsmen were in watchful readiness in the moors and mountains all Britain over, to commence grouse shooting, and ere the sun arose reports of Joe Mantons were heard in rapid succession, indicative of tho slaughtering purposes of the knights ofathe trigger. On nearly all the moors in the north a most fatal disease exists amongst the grouse, scores of which were found dead on the heaths, while others are so sickly that they can scarcely fly further than a few yards at a time. The others are pretty strong on the wing, and it was with difficulty that they were come within range of. However, with ardent perseverance, several gentlemen enjoyed an excellent day's sport. The Mon. Col. Lowther, M.P., on the Earl of Lonsdale's preserves, on Shap Fells, Westmoreland, bagged thirty brace of line birds, and Henry Lowther, Esq., of the Guards, his eldest son, brought down upwards of twenty brace. Viscount Ranelagh, Mr. Milt's, and another party who are on a visit at Lowther Castle, on High Howe and other preserves, had most excellent sport, but our correspondent had not ascertained the precise number of birds that each gentleman killed. On Roderip Manor, near Ashton Moor, IV. Parker, Esq., of Yanwath Hall, shot twenty-four brace ; Timothy Featherstonhaugh, Esq., of the College, Eirkoswald, twenty-three brace ; and Richard Tinckler, Esq., of Eden Gr ove , b agged nineteen brace, but the birds on th e manor were only small. No intelligence has reached us of the sport on the 12th, except that Mr. Dougal bagged 1; brace on his moors of Glenferness, on the forenoon of that day.—Elgin Courier. Sir P. Murray Thriepland, Bart., bagged to his own gun, on the 12th of August, on the Strathbraan shootings, 103} brace of grouse and 8 hares. THE MOORS. —The morning of the twelfth dawned as auspiciously for the sportsman as could be desired. Since the storms and floods of last week, the weather has been tine, but comparatively cool, with westerly breezes; and the slightest touch of frost made the scent lie strong. So far as the accounts have reached us, the sport will be about an average on the principle Highland moors ; but, of course, we are unable to give the first day's work. The mail, which passed Blair at mid-day, and the Duke of Wellington which came down four hours after both brought a number of boxes, the produce of the morning's work, some of which were addressed to the leading members of the nobility now in London. There are few changes in the principal Perthshire moors this season. There is a new party at Falar ; and Thomas Brown, Esq., and party, from Glasgow, have got Amulree, formerly Mr. Fox Maule's ; and Charles Gray, Esq., and party, also from Glasgow, the fine preserved moor of Logiealmond, belonging to Castle Huntly ; John Ewing, Esq., at Bruar ; and Robert Graham, Esq., Calvine. The other Athol and Rannoch moors are tenanted as formerly.—Perth Courier, Thursday. SHEFFIELD—THE MOORS.—WC are sorry to find that the grouse on the moors was proved, by yesterday's sport, to be very scarce. As usual, numbers of gentlemen were up and stirring at an early hour, but the birds were wild and high on the wing, and were with difficulty got at. The largest bags we have been able to hear of was 12 brace, and our neighbour, Mr. Willi am Ald am, brought down 11 brace out of 24 shots. The prices varied from 10s. to 12s. per brace, at which price our neighbour Fox is said to have sold be tween 70 and 80 brace. —Iris. (Fron t the Inverness No shooting season could begin under m ore favourable auspices than that of 1846. The fogs which enveloped and shut out the distant landscapes have been dispelled by the thunder of last Saturday, and now the bracing atmosphere invites the young sportsman, inclined for an early shot, to roll himself in his plaid and listen for the first crow of the old ,sock, as, on fluttering wings, they rouse the young broods—many of them destined, ere evening, to fall, at the sound of the gun, on their native heather. We have often wondered, on looking at maps which give the lines of rail ways, that no enterprising publisher ever thought of a sporting map, where, in a similar way, shootings might be outlined and described—noti ng down deer corries—tho bold peaks where ptarmigan are found—the heath -covered up lands, where dwell innumerable broods of grouse—and the fantastic old birch clumps, sloping to mountain streamleta, which are the choice habitations of black game. We present lists of parties all intent on seeking, at least, " The freshness of the mountain air, Which bloated ease can never hope to share." • LIST OF SHOOTING PARTIES AT FORMER QUARTERS.

LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND, VOL. IX. By AGNES STRICKLAWD.—The career of Mary of Modena, Consort of the ill-fated James the Second, was so eventful, that this volume, which is dedicated to her life, will prove one of the most interesting of Miss Stickland's very interest ing series. History tells us but little of this unfortunate, but noble- minded lady, and the greater portion of the facts now laid before the public have been sifted and selected from the secret archives of France. One of the most interesting extracts taken from this source is a part of a MS. diary, kept by one of the nuns of Chaillot, of the sayings and doings of the exiled Queen during her occasional retreat to that con vent, after the death of James the Second. This diary throws great light upon the personal history of the royal ex iled family towards the latter part of their lives. To one of her friends in the convent the Queen also addressed a vast number of letters, from which we have copious extracts in this volume. Miss Strickland, like a true woman, moat heartily sympathises with the f a ll en St ua rts. She sperm have been a Jacobite a h un d re d y ear s ago; now she o with sympathy of the sorrows that and dedicates are e her book to the most illustrious of the uous past, 003ruuswick.-.

TUE HAGUE.—Auo. 12.—0 n the 7th of this month a great misfortune befel the commune of Noordlaren. About four o'clock on the afternoon the lightning struck the house of the farm, Willen Assies, one of the largest farm-houses there, so that in a moment the whole build ing was in flames. The barn being full of hay and corn, it was impossible to save them. The inhabitants of Noordlaren were obliged to confine their exertions to endeavour to save the neighlx.uring houses, but they could not prevent the flames from setting fire to the opposite house, likewise one of the largest farm-houses in the place ; and as the stock of hay and corn was very large the whole was totally destroyed. It was with great difficulty, and with the assistance of the inhabitants of the environs that the flames were hindered from spread ing still further. On the same day, at the same hour, a similar disaster took place in the village of Zandt. A violent thunder-storm burst over the fortress of Roe vorden, where the lightning struck a chimney, and the electric fluid passing through the roof, entered a cham ber were three lads were at work, who were ccmpletely stunned, but not hurt, and passed through an open win dow. Several labourers at work in the fields, in different parts of our province, have suddenly fallen down dead, in consequence of the intense heat that we have lately had. VENLOO, AUG. 1 1.—The accounts of the disease in the potatoes in our environs are different. It seems, however, to be of little importance. THE HAUGE, AUG. 13.—His Excellency Prince Ester• hazy, formerly Austrian Ambassador in London, and suite, coming from Konigsworth, has arrived here. AMSTERDAM, AuG. 14.—We learn from Hanover that Prince Albert, son of Prince Albert of Prussia, arrived there on the 10th, on a visit to the King, intending to go, on the next day, to Wangoroog. Prince Albert of Prussia arrived on the 11 t h, at H anover, an d proceeded next day to the Hague. We learnfrorn Bremen that the Dutch war steamer, tlye Cyclop, arrived on the 9th, at Bremen, having to take on board a lady of distinction, who was expected there, and bring her to Holland. THE CAUCASUS. (EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) TIFLIS, JUNE 2 0.—You have doubtless been informed by the official statement of the General-in Chief of the incursion made into Kabardah by Schamyl in the be ginning of this month ; but that brief and miserable document can only have given you a very incorrect idea of that equally important and unexpected event. I wish I had sufficient talent to depict the inex pressible confusion, the incredible fright, which the sudden news of the apparition of the famous prophet of the Tschetschenses, at the head of an army of more than 20,000 mountaineers, produced, not only on all the line between Grosnaia and Jekaderinodar, but even amongst the inhabitants of our quiet capital. The fright was so great that the enemy was believed to be already at the gates of our city. The unfortunate inhabitants of the Kabardah had much more reason to be frightened than we, who are separated from the spot on which the war has broken out by the great Alpine range of the Cau casus, and protected by good fortifications and a suffi cient garrison. Those who suffered the most from this last sudden impetuous attack made by the mountaineers are the unfortunate Cossacks, of the line lately settled on the banks of the Sundja and the Teack, and who were too widely spread over the country to be enabled to offer a combined or much resistance. Here are, in a few words, some positive &tails imparted to me by a person well informed, who has just returned from Wladikawkas. Towards the end of April Schamyl was on the banks of the Argun, at the bead of a small army, almost ex clusively formed by Tschetschenses (amounting to nearly 5,000 men), about GO versts south of Grosnaia. At the same time he sent emissaries into Daghestan and Lesgistan to call the tribes to arms, and to promise them in his name the spoil of the whole country belonging to the Kabardians, who had submitted to Russia. This time Schamyl's promises and proclamations met with greater success than they had ever dune before. A number of persons hastened to join him from every di rection. His small army was rapidly increased by the Lesgians, the Acoares, the Tuj usc h es, t h e Gumbites, and other tribes from the mountains which surround the province called Great Tschetschina, followed the ex ample of the Tschetschenses, and brought to the service of their famous chief the strength of their arms, their courage, and their love of pillage and of booty. General Freytag, commander of th e f ortress of Gros naia, had been informed by his spies of a considerable movement in the interior of the forests of Tschetschina, and of Schamyl's intent ion to invade K a b ar d a h . B ut the Russian General being accustomed to hear the same news constantly re peated, and to se e t h e threats of the enemy followed by no hostile attempts against Kahardah, considered those of Scbamyl as idl e words, and did not pay much attention to the'neeting of l arge f orces i n Tschetschina, thinking that .their lead er i ntended to em ploy them in the defence of his residence, Widin, against which General Freytag was preparing an expedition. But Schamyl, who had heard that the Russians were marching all their forces towards the East, for the two expeditions which were to t ake place in s ummer aga i nst Tschetschina and Daghestan, imm e di ately determined • to proceed westward with the whole of his forces. It is probable that the difficulty of procuring provisions for the immense number of partizans whom the manly lan guage of his proclamation had induced to join his stan dard, obliged him to adopt that sudden resolution, the boldness of which can only be appreciated by those ac nature of the seat of war, and the strong position quainted with the o ccupied_ by the R ussian army on the right wing of the line of operation. Schamyl crossed the Sunja between Wladi, Kaukas, and Nasran. All the stanitzas (villages) built by the C ossac k s during the last three years along the right bank of that river were sur prised, plundered, and committed to the flames. Most of the men escaped (thanks to the swiftness of their horses), but the wcnvii, old men, and children, were made prisoners, and, shortly afterwards, the greatest number were put to death by an order of Schamyl, whose march was impeded by so large a convoy of prisoners. The success of his enterprise, it is true, depended on the rapidity of his movements, for the alarm had been spread along the entire line, and Generals Nestorow and Freytag were collecting in all haste their disposable force to THE SCOTT MONUMENT. (From the Edinburgh Adwrtiser of Tuesday.) We find, in a handsome little pocket volume, just pub. lished by Mr. W. H. Lizars, for the benefit of strangers, under the title of the " Edinburgh Tourist and Itine rary," the following description of the Scott Monument, which will not be inappropriate at the present time, when public attention is so much engrossed with the approaching ceremony of the inauguration on Saturday next. On that occasion the colossal statue of Sir Walter, which is to be removed to• day from Mr. Steell's studio, preparatory to its being seated under the groined arch in the lower portion of the building, will be installed in its proper place with a profusion of masonic and civic honours, and amidst a greater concourse of people, we may safely predict, than has ever assembled in Edin burgh since the year of the Queen's visit. This monument is an elegant and picturesque gothic structure, in the shape of an open cross or spire, 190 feet in height, and having a stair up to a gallery sur rounding the spire, within a few feet of the top, com manding a splendid view of all the adjacent country, and a complete bird's-eye inspection of the whole town. When the block from which the figure of Sir Walter Scott is sculptured:arrived in Leith, great difficulty was experienced in finding apparatus sufficiently powerful to lift it out of the vessel ; and no slight danger, in addi tion to enormous labour, was incurred in effecting its landing. After being set upon a four-wheeled truck, it was got to Edinburgh without accident, in a sort of triumphal procession ; the transit being effected from Junction-bridge, Leith, to Mr. Steele's studio in Ran dolph-place, by the strenuous and admirably directed exertions of not fewer than twenty powerful horses, in forty-three minutes although it had taken four days to bring it from the ships hold through the yard at which it was landed to the road, a distance not exceeding two hundred yards. Its weight was variously estimated . at from thirty to thirty-th ree t ons . I t may not be mull teresting to state, that while the ponderous mass was an the act of being shipped at .Leghorn, the shears, by whicli it had been raised to be swung on board, from the car conveying it from the mountains, suddenly gave way, and the future statue was precipitated right through the bottom of the vessel into the sea; and it was nearly subjected to a similar accident while being lifted on shore at Leith. While on the subject of the sculpture, it is proper to mention, that the figures occupying the four niches imm e di ate l y over the principal arch, °were designed and executed by three Edinburgh artists, whose admiration of Scott, and approbation of the ge neral design, induced them spontaneously to undertake their execution, at a rate which can hardly be considered other than aratuitous. The figure on the. north, representing " Prince Charles Edward," and that of " Meg Merrilees," looking eastwards, being the work of Mr. Alexai.der H. Ritchie; the " Last Minstrel," filling the western niche, was contributed by Mr. James Ritchie; and the " Lady of the Lake," on the south, by Mr. Patrick Slater. The gothic structure was designed by Mr. George Mickle Kemp, a gentleman whose history is not a little singular. Brought up as an obscure country carpenter, he, in early life, imbibed an enthu siastic admiration for gothic architecture, induced, ac cording to his own account, by an accidental visit, while a mere child, to Roslin Chapel. In the study of that branch of art, when arrived at manhood, he travelled on foot, without friends, and unassisted, save by his own indefatigable industry as a mechanic, and his enthusiasm as an amateur, over the whole of Great Britain, and a very considerable portion of continental Europe. Returning to his native country, he devoted his energies to an investigation of the principles and capabilities of gothic architecture ; and on a competi tion of designs for a monument to Sir Walter Scott being advertised, he entered the lists, and, after much opposition, some of which was of the most ungenerous description, he was at length declared the victor, and his design ordered to be proceeded with. When the structure was about half built, the unfortunate architect lost his life by an accident. In the course of a dark night, on his way home, he missed his footing, and fell into the Union Canal, where he was drowned.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfidly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultlyation )f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

Tuesday morning most of the boats were successful ; highest 20 crans. Wednesday, highest take 27 crans. Thursday, highest 12 crans. Friday, highest boat 3 crans, and several boats clean. Several of our boats did not venture out last night, in consequence of the threaten ing aspect of the weather. The fishermen say there is a large amount of fish on the coast, and the shoal must have shifted, as the French boats seem to have removed. These last, it appears, follow the fish with more skill than even our boats can ; they are also better able to watch the movements of the shoal, being at sea all the day. Our men are full of complaints of their agressions on the top of their nets ; boats as large as 70 tons shooting nearer the shore than even our men dare do, and considerable damage has been done to our men's nets in this way. Three cargoes of herrings have gone southwards this week, and the market is still open to buyers. Price 145. per cran to cadgers. EvEMOUTH.—This week's fishing has been far the best this season. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning the takes were from 10 to 35 crans per boat ; prices from 12-. 6d to 16s. 6d. per cran—the latter price was given by the Yarmouth vessels. Six of them have sailed during the week with full cargoes. This morning (Thursday) the fishing has fallen off; the takes are not so heavy, and there are a good number of spent fish. I)oNi:wt.—During the week there has been a fair average fishing. A few boats have to the extent of 30 and 35, but snore generally the amount is from ten to 20 crans, owing to the number of foreigners ; the quan tities of fish sent in a fresh state by the rail, and the anxiety of the home curers to make a beginning, prices , still keep at 15s. and 16s. HOLY . ISLAND.—In consequence of the very thick fog that prevailed, our fishermen did ver y lit t l e l ast wee k . ' The weather, however, having cleared in some degree on Sunday several of the boats put off in the even ing. The highest take on Monday was 13 crans. On Monday a few of the boats went south, and on Tuesday one boat had 49 crans—others a few hundreds. On Wednesday the highest we heard of was 27 crans. NORTH SUNDERLAND.—Our fishermen have been very succetsful in the herring fishing during the past week, and if their labours be attended by the like success for a short time longer, many of them will have their full com plement. At Beadnell and Newton they have been equally- fortunate, although here as well as at Beadnell and Newton one or two have lost part of their nets. On Friday, Saturday, and Monday mornings, the boats were not all at the fishing, but those which were met with fair success. On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings the take was large, top boats 56 and 64 barrels each, Mon day and Tuesday prices were I4s. to 16s. ; Wednesday I is. to 13s. One boat received on Tuesday morning in cash 511. 4s. On the whole the fishing this week, up to Wednesday, has been the best we have experienced for two or three years. ANSTRUTI3ER.—The fishing has not much improved. We give the highest takes from the Ist of August:— Aug. 1, 1 cran; Aug. 4, 1 cran; Aug. 5, 6 crans; Aug-. 6, 10 crans; Aug. 7, 11 crans; Aug. 8, 10 crans. On Thursday last the fishing was general. ST. MoNANcE.—The success of the fishermen still continues limited and partial, and the adventures of seve ral nights have resulted in almost total failure. Up to Saturday last the heaviest draught brought into this harbour has not exceeded seven crans; and the price has ranged from eighteen shillings to twenty-five shillings per Gran. _ ZETLAND, AuG. 3.—The cod fishing has now ter minated, and, upon the whole, has been a complete failure. A few of the boats have tried the herring fish ing, but without success, and it is currently stated that there is no great prospect. DISCHARGED PRISONERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The change of administration has slightly re tarded the measures for rescuing misguided individuals, and preventing them becoming, from necessity, the in mates of our jails; but I am happy to announce thus pub licly through the medium of your excellent paper, that yesterday, a deputation, headed by the Bishop of London, waited upon Sir George Grey at the Home Office, and were pleased to hear him express his great anxiety on so important a subject, which s h a ll h ave the serious consideration of her Majesty's Government during the recess, which must produce a remedy. When it is consit ered that the returns for the last year show a frightful picture of 30,000 convictions—to say nothing of acquittals; and when from my own ex perience last week I found in Newgate, out of 150 cases for trial. 52 of that number had been there before ; in Giltspur-street Prison, out of 91 cases, 60 of that number had been repeatedly there before ; one woman declared, in the presence of the Governor, that she had been in that prison for the last 20 years. Now, with such a state of things, with no reme dy provided, no re source left, but on leaving prison to commit fresh crimes, the warning of th e mag i strates , th e admonit i on of the judge, the exhortation from the prison pulpit, appear to me but a " solemn mockery." It is fearful to look at the extent of our " criminal po pulation," with no adequate means offered, but o ne or two charitable institutions, with limited means, which can never meet the evil; and nothingibut a legislative national measure, giving voluntary shelter and employ ment, can effectually produce a remedy which a ll th e c o rp ora tions in England have petitioned the Legislature to adopt. Whilst such a state of things exists, I will not fail to impress upon both Houses of Parliament the painful picture so destructive to mora li ty, so degrading to us as a Christian community ; and whilst, on the one hand, I would by no means screen the guilty, but severely punish, yet I do think we are bound to offer and to extend mercy to so large a portion of helpless indivi duals, who still gladly avail themselves of it, and save them from endless destruction. I am, Sir, your humble servant, JOHN LAURIE, Sheriff of London and Middlesex. No. 1, Hyde Park-place, Aug. 18, 1846. PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 7 71,4, it follows that gold is 0.87 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 1 4 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 %d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 101 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 114, it follows that gold i 3 OM per cent. dearer in London than in ilaniburgh. ~~~ i lji~~~/L ~_.~- f THE HARVEST AND PiVEIIN.r.vs-szintr.--Tho outthw going on in several favoured situations In ne, bourhood. Gener a ll y, the reaping of barley universal, if the weather hold good, in a week or ten days. We were in S trat h glass last week, and were much struck with the fine field of oats and barley in that beautiful district, many of them ripe for the sickle. • The pasture, too, on the hill-farms is more luxuriant than it has been known since 1828. The crops in general are nearly a month in advance of former years, and they never presented a richer or better appearance than they do this season. Fears are entertained for some fields of potatoes in this neighbourhood. The stems appear blackened and decayed, as if by the effects of the mysterious disease ; but we trust these un favourable symptoms may be traced to the late thunder storm. In Harris and other western islands the disease undoubtedly prevails. THE PERTHSHIRE HIGHLANDS.—We are sorry to say that unequivocal symptoms of the potato disease having penetrated into our highland districts are at last too manifest. Wi t hi n t h e l ast few days, the mysterious blight and blackening of the leaves of the "shave," as if frosted, can be too generally traced over the whole country, though be -west of Aberfeldy, with few excep tions, the evil may not be so palpable to the hurried passer-by, as the fields for the most part retain a some what gr een i s h , or at most, a brownish or ripened tinge. We learn that even in this modified state the root has been found in a state of decomposition, and utterly uneatable for human food. Shearing will be commencing in ten days or a fortnight in the more early districts; and should the crops be got properly and without scaith harvested, there is a good prospect of quantity and quality, but the delay of Saturday last has made sad havoc in the more luxuriant fields is lodging the same.—Perthskirf Advertiser. //, 44.04- this neigh., • will he ( 10 4 _,t ;lea"O rt ) erga °4 Do itoo: I 345 Id go waster, ;hester, I, 73• • tiA"
