It seems that the Canadian Parliament is likely to have an anxious session. We learn by the in telligence brought from New York on the 16th by the City of New York, that 111r.APGEE has urged the continued suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Canada, on the ground that there might soon be another Fenian invasion. We know that the PRESI DENT has with some imprudence restored to the Fenians the arms taken from them during their for mer attempt upon Canada, and consequently they will not lack one very important part of the necessary preparations. There are, however, two considerations which may modify the zeal and cool the courage of the sup posed invaders. It is possible that they may not find the subscriptions which have hitherto en riched their treasury flow in quite so fast. The Irish labourers and servant maids, who were so easily excited by the glowing portraits of the Hibernian Republic to tender their hard-earned shillings, may have by this time awakened from their dream, and in America, as in England, money does not at this juncture circulate so freely as here tofore. Again we have yet to see the effect of the recent trial and execution of the Manchester offen ders. It is possible that this unromantic termina tion to the daring escapade may alter the heroic aspect in which Fenianism has been represented to its dupes. At any rate Mr. M‘GEE's proposition may be a wise one as a matter of precaution, and the lx_st preservative against another Fenian raid will be the knowledge that the Canadians are on the alert and will repel the invaders with vigour and promptitude. The trial of Mr. DAVIS, according to the latest intelligence, has been postponed until March. The date had been too often fixed and refixed to induce any one to suppose that it was really so close at hand. The ex-President will not suffer from this last adjournment, since the change in public feeling is doing much to improve his chance of a fair and equitable trial. _ _ Among other noticeable signs of the times in the States is the advance of Free-trade doctrines. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times eays that there promises to be a strong pressure upon Congress to secure a large reduction of the tax on cotton and woollen fabrics. Commissioner WELLS is understood to be in favour of a reduc tion, if sccorupanied by a corresponding reduction in tariff rate. lle also, it is said, recommends the the repeal of the cotton tax. The majority of manufacturers now admit that the increased tariff has injured rather than benefited them the inevitable end of all such mo nopoly. If the new Congress will introduce the principles of free trade into the commercial legislation of the States they will do immense ser vice, and help to revive in a great measure the pro sperity of the country. Among the other disas trous effects of the Radical policy, we may include the exorbitant tariffs of late years, though the Democrats are by no means without blame in this respect. We must hope that American manufac tureis generally have learned by experience how fatal are the effects of such narrow and short sighted legislation, opposed as it' is to the very spirit and nature of Congress, and most imminent to the interests and capacities of a great and wealthy maritime nation. We learn through the same channel that, accord ing to the last act.:ounts received from Porto Rico, the late hurricane has producel most devastating effects. There have been in all three hurricanes, but the last has been the most destructive of the three. One thousand houses are in ruins and three thousand buildings have been badly damaged. An immense number of cattle have been killed ; the cane crops are utterly destroyed, and the fields swept bare. it is no wonder after such statements that the account adds that the loss is incalculable. It will be probably some time, even in that region of rapid .growth and rapid destruction, before Porto Rico can recover from such a shock. It is a great satisfaction to find that the Prussian Diet has insisted upon reversing an act of great injustice, and that the triumph of might against right iu the case of Herr TWESTEN• has been of short-lived duration. In yesterday's 4'.ttilag of the THE SUN. LO.N1)()Y. THURS /AY EVENJN6:, NOVEMBER 28, 167. Chamber of Deputies the motions of Herr LASKER came on for discussion. These were to "quash" the trial of Herr TWESTEN by a special law, and to modify the :B.lth Article of the Prussian Constitu tion, so as to make it consistent with the Constitu tion of the North Germanic Confederation. Some opposition was mrede to this by Herr VON HOVER BECK, who propos ed that the House should proceed to the order of the: day; and Count VON LIPPE, the Minister of Jr:Brice, suggested that the members should wait for the decision of the Supreme Court, and then they could easily determine upon what measures th‘cy might adopt on the subject with the most advantage. The speech of Count BISMARCK was certainly a significant one, for upon this all-important topic, as it was considered a short time ado, he merely expressel his personal views, and refrained from committi'g the Government. Ile said that he attached no "prac tical importance" to the question. This is the more remarkable, because the Berlin Cabinet have been prosecuting the affair with the utmost perseverance and energy for some time past, and have insisted on the most rigorous measures being adopted. It shows the signs of the time when BISMARCK has to make himself a way of retreat in this ignominious fashion, and decline on the part of his Government to give an opinion. He said that the conflict between the Chamber and the Government had arisen from a " misuse of the freedom of speech." He tried to get out of the dilemma in which he was placed by suggesting a middle course, namely, to distinguish between two conditions of liberty of speech, the right of speech in the Chamber, and the right of the newspapers to publish the speeches. This is absurd, to say the least of it, be cause the speeches in question would lose half their value if they were not published, but we do not anticipate such a stultifying of the rights of free debate as this will be allowed. The motions of Herr LASKER were adopted by 181 votes against 160, and hence a great success has been achieved. This is certainly a step in the right direction, and it must be looked upon as of the more conse quence now that so great a change is taking place in the Constitution of Prussia. It is all very well to try to get out of it by a course of duplicity such as Count BISMARCK so skilfully pur sued ; but the truth is not concealed by this means, and perhaps it is not too much to expect that this decision of the Diet may influence events in the I most desirable manner. One thing seems certain at any rate, that we are not likely to see any more of these political convictions taking place in a hurry, which in itself is an advantage in every sense of the 1 word to the cause of freedom and for the sake of progress. The result of the debate on the Abyssinian expe dition has been a satisfactory one for many reasons, and the arguments which some speakers put forth with so much assurance were more or less disposed of in a summary style. No doubt Mr. LOWE, Mr. HoRSHAN, and Mr. OSBORNE were all very well satisfied with their performances, and found some admirers and supporters, but in reality their objec tions were quite superfluous, and did not touch the real question at issue, how the captives were to be freed, and which was the most expeditious way of doing so. Lord STANLEY'S speech contains a great deal of intelligence of the most reassuring kind, and one of the chief contradictions to the croaking of certain parties may be found in the telegram which he received in the House, and the contents of which he interpolated with his discourse. It ap pears that there exists a great desire on the part of the inhabitants to render the expedition all the as si.tauce possible, and the fact that one hundred and twenty villages have applied to Colonel MERE WETH ER for friendly treatment, and have offered their services, is of itself a most important announcement. As for the difficulties of the route, as the noble lord said, they will not be more serious than those which were overcome in Affghanistan, and there is this advantage that a warlike population inhabited the latter, which is not the case in Abyssinia. The question is asked, said Lord STANLEY, " What will you do in the event of his murdering the prisoners? My answer is, that King THEODORE has never shown himself wanting in cunning, and therefore he is net likely to throw away his last chance of buying peace by murdering the prisoners, especially after he has been warned that he will be held per sonally responsible for their safety. The prisoners themselves know the risk they run, and they think lightly of it, and beg us to ignore it." Really to notice the manner in which people talk, we might suppose that King THEODORE was surrounded by devoted subjects, instead of being most unpopular and only obeyed from fear in the places where his power is the strongest. As for the notion of EOM that we cannot get oat of Abyssinia, that we shall have destroyed the Government of the KING, and must not leave the country to anarchy, the best reply to it is that anarchy is preferable to the govern ment of King THEODORE. It seems hardly worth giving much attention to the scruples of those who declare that the Expedition is too large, for how can they expect that a smaller one would do? In all probability it would not succeed, and the Government would not be justified in going about the business in an insuf ficient manner, and in a style not likely to be crowned with success so far as calculations before hand can render them certain. It would be but a poor saving to the country to send out an insufficient force, which must stop half way, lose the proper season, and then have to begin over again next year. The money loss of such a failure would be nothing compared to the damage to our reputation thereby, which on all accounts must be deprecated. Lord STANLEY employed a very sensible argument when he said that we must trust to opinion in India. The rest our position there on prestige. " You hold power not by force, but in a great measure by the knowledge or belief that, however mildly and justly British authority be exercised, it is in the last resort backed by a force which cannot be resisted." This is the time now to talk of the question, and the right principle upon which to act. We see no reason whatever why this expedition to Abyssinia may not be successful ; and, if so, those who have been so ready to animadvert will regret the course they have taken in allowing prejudice and party spirit to blind them to the perception of what the dignity of the country requires, and which no Government could overlook with propriety. A conference of some importance was on Tues day last opened at Westminster. It consisted of members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, and the representatives of some forty towns and cities were present. Sub jects of national interest awaited their discussion, and the principal object of the meeting was not to supersede the annual conference in February, but to lighten its labours and give Parliament timely notice of its plans. This is a wise precaution, and will greatly forward the progress of legislation, while the labours of the conference are likely, judging from the list of topics, to be in any case sufficiently severe. The most important brought under discussion on Tuesday were Bank ruptcy Law Reform, Registration of Partnership, Registration of Trade Marks, Postal Reform, and Technical Education, and International Mari time Law. Resolutions were passed on most of these subjects, and in some cases committees were appointed to promote the wishes of the Association. This was done in the case of Technical Education, concerning which several speakers expressed them selves very strongly. Mr. FORSTER, M.P., who has had some experience of the work ing of such schools on the continent, attributed the rapid progress of continental manu factures in a great measure to them, since by their means the art of design anti other valuable know ledge has been very generally acquired. Much has been done in this country to improve the technical and artistic education of our mechanize, but mare ramains to be done ; and we are glad to find that these gentlemen are determined, among their heavier duties, not to overlook a less pressing but not less interesting_question. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The illoniteur is entirely destitute of news to day, and the other papers are much in the same position. In Hungary an important measure has been pro posed in behalf of the cause of religious and civil liberty. The President of the Council of Ministers has laid upon the table of the Chamber of Deputies of Pesth project of law, having for object to give to professors of the Jewish religion the same civil and political rights as are enjoyed by all the other subjects in the kingdom, and abolishing all pre vious, laws which placed restrictions upon Jewish subjects. The deputies received this proposition of Count Andrassy with general marks of satisfaction and interest. The Emperor of Austria has arrived at Pesth. The " Ahranack de Paris for 1868," just pub lished, estimates the population of France, accord ing to the late census, at 38,067,094. This calcu lation does not include the population of Algeria. The populatio❑ of Paris amounts to 1,779,436. In the 13th century there were in Paris, only 120,000 inhabitants. In 1846 the population was 1,053,897. In 1851, 1,053,262, In 1856, 1,174,346. In 1862, after the annexation of the suburbs, the population was 1,696,181 inhabitants. The number of houses is now 56,000.. Of lodgings the estimated number is 637,369. In the account of the "Situation of the Empire" it is stated that the railway traffic during the Exhi bition was enormous. The companies made reduc tions to the extent of from 50 to 75 per cent. on the fares. The total number of passengers from the Ist of April to the 3d of November on the six lines was 441,816, thus partitioned :—On the Western Railway, by special trains, 21.000. By the ordi nary trains, 101,800. Total, 122,800. Oa the Northern line, by special trains, 27,920. By the ordinary trains, 107,808 Total, 135,728. On the Eastern line, by special trains, 56,032 ; on the Orleans line, by special trains, 61,560 ; on the Southern line, by special trains, 3,288; on the Mediterranean line, including the Victor Emmanuel Railway, by special trains, 59,410. This total does not give the full estimate of the number of passen gers, because it does not include the first-class travellers, in respect to whom the companies did not deem it expedient to make a reduction in the fare, or the passengers in the environs of Paris and the adjoining depaittnects. The Prussian budget, which will shortly be sub mitted for discussion to the Second Chamber at Berlin, amounts to 159,862,000 dollars, including the expenses of the ancient provinces of the Mo narchy, as well as those lately annexed. Compared with the budget of the preceding year, the present estimate exhibits an increase of receipts to the amount of 4,738,000 dollars. The death is announced of ono of the most emi nent Generals of the first Empire, General Duke de Fezenac, who expired in the midst of his family at his chateau of Mootier, near Tours, in his 84th year, after a short illness. He descended from one of the most illustrious fainides of France, allied to the Kings of Aragon and Navarre. Ile entered the army as a volunteer in 1804, and afterwards served in many campaigns. lle was in the disastrous campaign in Russia when the Emperor was com pelled to retreat. Marshal Ney, iu reference to his conduct there, wrote a letter frcm Berlin, dated June 23, 1813, in which he spoke of the ad mirable conduct of the young officer under very critical circumstances. M. de Fezenac inherited by transmission the title of Duke, created by Louis XVIII. in favour of his uncle, the Abbe de Mon teNnion, Minister of the Interior, in 1814, and one of the chief authors of the Constitutional Charter, who died in 1832. In the same year M. Fezenac was called to the Chamber of Peers, and in 1838 Count Affairs, sent him to Madrid Mole,a s l‘ / l i i n n- i i b s a te ss r a o d f or Fo fo r r eig F ri rance. The duke was an author as well as a soldier. He wrote a The present journal o r o , f o on i le e a r s g s the ail G e a e 1 l g ' pain* death, sent his condolences immediately by telegraph. When the first Napoleon returned from Russia he asked Count Mole", the Minister of Foreign Affairs, if he knew M. de Fezenac, and on being informed that they were relatives, Napoleon said, " I congratulate you upon the circumstance ; that young colonel con ducted himself admirably throughout the whole campaign, particularly at Beresina, and he has brought the eagle of his regiment back to France." As I informed you would shortly he the case, two regiments of the French Army have left Rome for Civita Vecchia, with two batteries of artillery and a squadron of cavalry. La France asserts that almost all the Powers have consented to the Congress, and adds that of the adhesion of Prussia, but not officially communi. cated ; there is no doubt that she will agree to it. There has been a Cabinet Council to-day at St. Cloud, at which the Emperor presided. The Government has received a despatch an nouncing the arrival of five transports at Civita Vecchia. The first division of French troops had embarke3. The weather has changed again. The frost is gone. There was a little rain in the morning, but the afternoon has been bright and fine, and almost as warm as in summer. iIIARKETS—(This Day.)

ARRIVAL OF THE GERMANIA (pia Southampton). NEW YORK, Nov. 16 (Morning). The elections in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida have resulted in favour of the Reconstruc tion Convention. The delegates elected were nearly all Radicals, the voting being carried on mostly by negroes. The New York Herald states that General Scho field, during a recent interview with the President, expressed the opinion that the Virginia Convention would prove a failure, and corroborated the report that the negroes generally were armed and the whites defenceless. It is reported that Chief Justice Chase has repri manded Hunnicutt, of Richmond, for the in cendiary course he is pursuing. The New Hampshire Democratic State Conven tion have nominated Air. John Sinclair as Governoi and have passed a resolution strongly denouncing the views of Congress. The official returns of the election to the State of New York show a Democratic majority of nearly 49,000.

Yesterday morning, at 12 o'clock, the mayor made the official declaration of the result of the poll, at the Town Hall steps. The three candidates and their principal supporters were present. The mayor said that the final numbers were :—Mr. Bright, 8,160 ; 61r. Bennett, 6,420; Mr. Henry, 643. The total number of electors who had voted was 15,223. Majority of Mr. Bright over Mr. -Bennett, 1,740 ; majority of Mr. Bright over Mr. Henry, 7,517. He therefore declared Mr. Jacob Bright to be duly returned as the representative for Manchester in Parliament. Mr. BRIGHT, who was received with loud cheers, proposed a vote of thanks to the mayor, and, in doing so, said that a statement had gone abroad that the number of votes polled was not so large as usual, and that there must have been, consequently, apathy in the constituency. The contrary was, however, the fact, The register had been reduced by deaths and removals to a net total of 18,000 votes, and of that number about 15,300 had polled. Mr. BENNETT, in seconding the vote of thanks to the mayor, said now that the contest was over he hoped every one would be prepared to join with him in a desire to give the honourable member every assistance in their power to aid him in the discharge of his duty as their representative. He was satisfied of this, that Mr. Bright would discharge his duty in such a manner as to leave no ground for regret on the part of the city at the choice she had made. Mr. HENRY supported the motion, which was carried. It will be seen, from the statement above made, that 15,233 electors were polled out of a total of 18,000. If it is borne in mind that in a commercial city like Manchester, on hardly any given day in the year could an election take place on which somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 persons, com mercial travellers and principals (most of them voters), are not absent on business in various parts of the kingdom and more distant lands, it will be seen that the register must have been pretty well exhausted in this contest. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIE rY. lie 35th annual meeting of this long-established musical society was held at Exeter Hall last even ing. J. N. Harrison, Esq., the president of the society since its formation, occupied the chair. The report, a document of considerable length, stated that the subscription-list had been, as usual as full as the committee considered it desirable to encourage ; that the concerts had always been attended by crowded audiences ; and that they had received an amount of favourable criticism which had satisfied the committee that their exertions to maintain the society as the greatest choral institu tion in the world bad been attended with success. Reference was made to the steps taken by the com mittee to maintain the efficiency of the orchestra, and it was stated that many of the elder members of the orchestra had retired, their places being occupied by younger members, who are only admit ted after the strictest trial as to their ability and promise to attend rehearsals with regularity. The members were informed that the committee had entered into arrangements with the directors of the Crystal Palace for another Grand Handel Festival in 1868, and from the steps which were in contemplation in reference thereto no doubt was entertained by the committee that it would surpass its predecessors. The accounts of the society for the past year were read by the treasurer. The receipts had been £5,091 16s. lid. ; the payments for the year, in cluding some considerable purchase of music and refitting the offices at Exeter Hall, £5,143 19s. ld. The property of the society was valued at a little under £lO,OOO, including £4,500 inthe public funds. Votes of thanks were then passed to the president, the treasurer, and other officers of the society, and the meeting separated without a dissentient voice having been raised during the two hours' proceedings. Eohoes from the Clubs- As handsome a table-book as we have seen -for a very long while, has just now been issued from the press, the contents of the volume being simply the gathering together of the first half•year's imprint in weekly numbers of the " Echoes from the Clubs." And, ephemeral though the themes of the various contributors to this elegant west-end periodical are for the most part in themselves, the bulk of the pub lication is written with so much esprit, sparkle, and effervescence, that it is really worthy of preserva tion thus for after reference. Several of the Ima ginary Conversations are worthy of a younger Landor—a Walter Savage in lackerecl boots and kid gloves, with the bloom of youth upon his cheeks and the glitter of fun in his eyes, %ith a " mot" upon occasion ever ready to his lips and an inexhaustible capacity, like that of Praed, for the scribbling of those rarest of rare trifles, vers de societe, really entitled (by reason of their mingled Melody and wit) to preservation for reference. If there is one thing more than another in regard to Club life and West-end society generally, that is sig nalised in a conspicuous way by the publication of this first volume of " Echoes from the Clubs" after the periodical has been in existence now for upwards of half a year, and has been pouring forth its fun and frolic upon our boudoir tables, club tables, library tables, drawing-room tables, and what not, week after week, in six-and-twenty animated instalments, it is this—that the days of the great wits have passed by utterly and completely. For had it been otherwise, here we must inevitably have had echoed to us "So and So's Last"—and have roared over . the quip, the crank, the " mot," the witticism, as our fathers and grandfathers were wont to do over "their wits' whimsies! With Douglas Jerrold the last of the genus seemingly died out. And we look around us in vain, to the right and to the left, for any recognisable successor for the utterance of those golden doubloons of wit that passed current in tht it time from the lips of Alvanley, Luttrell, Sydney Smith, Theodore Hook, Samuel Rogers, and not least though latest of all, as we have said, Douglas Jerrold. The absence of these more precious morceaux of wit from the " Echoes from the Clubs" has its significance, and certainly serves to illustrate a notable deficiency, for which the age rather than the periodical must be held responsible. ME LOSS OF THE WYE. -~ i'...:!ouTnA3IPTOT, Wednesday. Beyond the announcement of the names of the five Europeans who were saved from this vessel very little information has been published relative to the loss of the Royal Mail Company's steamship Wye in the late disastrous hurricane. The subjoined par ticulars will therefore be read with interest. They are extracted from a letter which appeared in the Hampshire Independent, written by Mr. Joseph Hill, a resident of this town, to whom they were communicated by his nephew, Edwin Hill, one of the five survivors :—" There were four of the Royal Mail steamers plying in the Carib bean Sea, the names, &c., of which were as fol lows :—The Mersey, 1,000 tons, paddle, 250-horse power ; the Conway, 865 tons, paddle, 260-horse power ; the Derwent, 794 tons, paddle, 260 horse power; and the Wye, 752 tons, screw, 180-horse power. It will .be seen that three of the number were paddle boats, the Wye king the only screw vessel, and of the least tonnage and horse-power. For some time previous to the hurricane the Wye had been hauled up on the patent slip in St Thomas' harbour, where she was thoroughly over hauled, repaired, painted, bottom cleaned, and all made right on board. She left the harbour on Saturday morning, the 26th of October, and anchored at Fort Point, just outside St. Thomas' harbour, this place being selected for the steamers to anchor in to have the ad vantage of the breeze. On this :lay three of the Europeans, E. Hill, R. Suowden, and James Holland, left the hospital of St. Thomas, where they had been uuder medical treatment, and again joined the Wye, which remained quiet at the anchorage till late in the evening of the 28th, when it began to blow. At midwatch (12 at night) it blew very hard, and then suddenly became calm till about 6 o'clock in the morning of the 29th, when the wind blew in " puffs," accompanied by rain, and so con tinued till about half-past 9, when it increased with great force, and the vessel could not remain at anchor any longer, and the steam being up they slipped the starboard cable, and steamed away, endeavouring and hoping to get out to sea. At this time there were on board 12 Euro peans belonging to the Wye—namely, the follow ing :—*Hodgson, chief officer ; Davies, fourth officer; Thompson, chief engineer ; Hooper, acting as second" engineer ; Colman, purser ; Hensford, chief steward ; Snowden, barman ; *Hill, store keeper ; *Yates, third waiter ; *Holland, butcher ; Bell, carpenter; *Meekin, boilermaker. There were also on board, before slipping cable, three other Europeans—namely, the junior harbour master of St. Thomas and two boatmen, who managed to get on board for shelter in the Wye ; also 43 men of colour, part of the crew, and six other coloured men not belonging to the Wye, they having been employed—four as painters and two as carpenters on board the vessel. After the Wye had been under way some little time Mr. Hodgson, the chief officer, went forward to see that the port anchor was right (the other anchor having been slipped), • and after assisting to pass the shank painter, and when endeavouring to return to the quarter-deck, a sheep-pen washed him against one of the seamen's closets, and jammed him there with so much violence as to break his arm, from which position he was released principally by the assistance of the carpenter, who was never seen afterwards. After this, notwithstanding the chief officer's arm was broken, he continued to do every thing in his power to save the Wye, remaining on board till he was washed over, and while under way the wind listed her• over so much that the starboard boiler would not feed, and the vessel was then brought \nearly on her beam ends, but still was kept under steam with the port boiler. The hurricane, continuing to increase, carried away both masts, the deck-houses, all the compasses and boats, in short, sweeping everything from the deck, and at about two p.m. on Tuesday, the 29th, the Wye struck on the rocks, and within a quarter of an hour after she had smack all who were saved were on high land on Buck Island.' The masts and riggers formed a kind of platform upon which those who were saved clung. My nephew *as submerged three times, and once as he was sinking he heard one of his comrades (a poor fellow who himself was lost) say Poor Ted is gone The difficulty in effecting a landing on Buck Island was very great. They all had to pass up a steep chine, or ravine, down which there was an outset from a mountain stream, the sea being driven up with terrific force, the chief officer suffering much from his broken arm. As breakfast was served out at 7 a.m. on the 19th on board the Wye, the sufferers had no food whatever for a day and a half, some of them having remained on the island till 5.30 p.m. the following day. The chief officer and boilermaker were taken off the island at 2 o'clock, and the remainder by a gig sent out by Mr. Cameron at 5-30. It will be seen from the foregoing particulars that out of 12 Europeans belonging to, and who were on board the Wye, five only were saved, being those with an as terisk prefixed to their names in the foregoing list. It is also proper to state that out of 52 men of colour on board seven only were saved. VAST DESTRUCTION OF IIERRING.—A gentleman r,l3iding in the neighbourhood of the Gareloch in forms us that the destruction of herring fry going on in that loch Las been something frightful. The loch is full of fish, varying from a herring of ordinary size to one the length of a finger, the former, however, bearing but a very small proportion to the immature or undersized fish. The trawlers have followed the herring into the loch, and are destroying them in immense quantities. In some cases the nets ara so completely packed with fish of all sizes that they cannot be got into the boats, and have to be dragged on shore in order to be delivered of their contents No doubt, the mesh of the trawl is large enough to admit of the escape of the small-sized herring; but from the action of this particular kind of net the fish are jammed together as if it were into a ball, and large and small are destroyed promiscuously. The herring are sent toGreenock or Glasgow, and offered for sale at the very small price of 4d per hundred. Very few of them; however, can be ranked as ordinary sized herring. The trawlers them selves, it seems, admit that it is a horrid work they are en gaged in.—Glasgcno Herald. w, HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 27.

F a sh - onable Marris ge. The marriage of G. Coppinger Ashlin, Esq., of Stephen's Green, Dublin, and Middleton, wi th Miss Mary Pugin, fourth daughter of the lat e Augustus Welby Pugin, Esq., was celebrated yester day at St. Augustine's Church, Ramsgate. Two companies of the Ist Cinque Ports Artillery Volunteers, under command of,Lieutenants,Cra m p and Strevens were in attendance, and formed guard' of honour, and lined the approaches to the church. A pathway covered with green cloth was laid from the Grange to the church. The ceremony was performed by the Right Ref' Dr. Grant, Bishop of Southwark, assisted by th e Rev. Steven Ashlin (brother of the bridegroom) . The charming bride, who was given away by he r brother, Captain Welby Pugin, was dressed in white silk, trimmed with Maltese lace, and wore a whi te , wreath and long spott e d ve il, w ith a go ld neckle t and Gothic cross pendant, set with diamonds.

Grace and Bessie Wightwick, and Miss LO G Y Thornton, who tore white silk slips, with grenadine skirts, very long, with two ilnun ues c i mauve peplums and bodices, bonnets trimm e with mauve, and long veils. We may also particularly notice the dress of M il.

Tower, the close of the ceremony the sun burst glorio us*? forth, and by the time the procession was return ing to the Grange the effect was one of great splendour', the whole length of the road being lined by t he artillery, who fired a salvo of 18 guns.

NATIONAL' Cl - 131lAL SOCIETY. I, It Last night Mendel sso h n ' s gran d wor k " Elii 3 was performed a s th e opening orator i o o f the eight season of the National Choral Society.
