He then took his ticket to a public-house, and sold it very readily to a pedlar for 2. 6d., pocketing 2s. 3d. by his ingenuity.—Betfast Vlndwator, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS or THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The incoming Government is in a cleft stick. It cannot go on in the old track ; and cannot strike into any new path, without demolishing the slid ing scale, and adopting a moderate fixed duty. If by any jugglery, in the shape of a loan, or any similar ex pedient for meeting the exigency, the proximate Pre mier endeavour to obviate the necessity of grappling with the monster-evil, the parent of the numerous pro geny of woes which are stalking through the land, spread ing distress and disaffection among the people—the event will be fraught with yet more effectual destruction to the monopoly thus sought to be continued. At the pre sent moment the country would be content with the fixed duties on importation contained in the propositions of the present Government. If the evils inflicted by the pre sent scale be allowed to continue, the nation, roused as it is into action by the continually accumulating mischiefs and miseries it inflicts, will rise in its demands, like the bearer of the Sybiline books, and finally take as large a draught of justice and retribution as their position shall enable them to command. STANDARD.—The Globe of last evening confirms the general impression that Ministers intend that the Speech from the Throne on the opening of Parliament shall raise the question of the Budget. It all but avows the fact, that the measures which have already been rejected .by the Parliament and the country are to be reproduced in her Majesty's Speech. The Queen will not, we are told, change her advisers on the verdict of the late House of Commons, but on the decision of that which is about to meet. Having taken the sense of Parliament on their measures they repudiate its verdict, because they profess to disbelieve that it is in accordance with the sense of the nation. They dissolve with the intimation that if the country should ratify the opinion of the House of Commons they will retire. Their appeal to the people is answered by a majority of from eighty to ninety against them, but, instead of fulfilling their promise, they propose to refer the issue a second time to the decision of Parliament ; and the decency of such a course is thus vindicated by the Evening Organ of the Government :—" Supposing Minis ters to be on their trial before the country, and that.the first jury has been objected to, is the condemna tion to he passed before the verdict is taken ?" The cases are by no means analogous. Ministers, having hdinitted th e com pet enc y o f th e j u ry by which th e y ave been - tried, have been found guilty. They have appealed to the people as a court of cassation, for the reversal of the judgment, and have had it confirmed in a manner which can admit of no mistake. The declarations of the jurors are before them, but, unable to deny their conviction of the offences imputed to them, they pretend an unwillingness to submit themselves to their verdict until they have ascertained the exact numb& by whom their appeal has been rejected. They cannot, forsooth, be legally cognizant of their position until it has been formally announced to them by the tribunal whose opinion they, have already rejected ! COURIER—When the late Parliament had shown by repeated decisions that it had withdrawn its confi dence from the Melbourne Ministry, they advised her Majesty to appeal to the sense of her people, artfully impressing her Majesty's mind with the notion. that the effect of that appeal would be the reversing of the sentence passed upon them ; but, when they read in the election returns a terrible confirmation of that verdict, they then had the audacious disloyalty to libel her Majesty by representing her as anxious to resist, and if possible annul that appeal, and retain as Ministers those whose measures and policy the nation has so decisively and significantly condemned. There is in this attempt of itself sufficient to disgust the loyal and sober-think ing portion of the community; but its inherent offensive ness is greatly enhanced by the air of impertinent familia rity with which the organs of the discarded and doomed Ministry presume to speak of her Majesty's feelings and wishes, and of the manner in which she is likely to act towards her future Cabinet. To prejudice her Ma jesty's character, as a constitutional Sovereign, in the estimation of her people—to place her in a position of antagonism with her Parliament would appear to be the sole end and aim of their present factious proceedings. It is for this purpose their con fidants tell us, that her Majesty's speech from the throne will be degraded to the level and perverted to the purpose of an Anti-Corn-law manifesto, and that it will be made the vehicle of opinions and principles which the House of Commons, as representing the na tional mind, must necessarily condemn, which every man in the community, and the nation itself, has al ready repudiated and condemned. We will not ask what can justisfy, because it is altogether unjustifiable, but we may ask what can palliate such a violation of the duty and so gross an abuse of the facilities of the respon sible advisers of the Crown, as the supposition involves. Yet we would wrong conviction, did we affect to dis credit the rumour which charges them with the in tention of making the Queen's Speech an occasion for raising a discussion on the Corn-laws ; and of thereby incalculably increasing the difficulties of its future adjustment, as well as placing her Majesty in the un seemly dilemma of being apparently opposed to that sys tem of policy, upon which will be founded her future ad ministration. But their knavish tricks will be frus trated, as the good sense and constitutional spirit of the ,people will teach them to distinguish accurately between the framers and the deliverer of the Royal speech, and to reflect, whatever be its contents, that in reality it can only be considered as the expression of the sentiments and opinions of its concoctors.

The accounts published in a second edition of the Morning Papers one month later from China caused the Tea market suddenly to become animated, and in Com pany's Congou extensive purchases were made through out the morning at an advance on the rates of 'yesterday of 2d to 2id per lb ; parcels for cash realized 2s 89d to 2s 9cl.

A BASHFUL LOVER.—A Green Mountain boy fell in love with a very pretty girl, and determined to court her. To that end he dressed himself in his Sunday-go -to meetings, went to her father's house, and found her alone. " How d'ye du ?" said Jonathan. ." I'm nicely —take a cheer, Jonathan," says the girl. Jonathan took a chair, and seated himself in the farthest corner of the room, as though the beauty was a thing to be feared rather than loved. " Aint you cold ? hadn't you better sit up to the fire ?" says Sally, supposing he would of course, if he was going to make love at all, do so in a proper manner. " No, I thankee, I reckon I'm comfortable," returned Jonathan. " How is your marm ?" said Sally.. " Well, she's a oomplainin leetle ; " said Jonathan. Here a pause of ten minutes ensued, during which time Jonathan amused himself by whittling a stick. " There's nothing new up your way, is there ?" said Sally, which Jonathan might understand as applying to his present situation, or to his father's domi cile. "Here ?---oh—yis, you meant tu hum, well no, that is his —our spotted cow's got a calf," said Jonathan. Sally wculd undoubtedly have laughed at this queer piece of information, only ahe was too much vexed at the hash fulneskof the speaker. At length, after another pro tracted silence, Sally got up a small edition ofa scream, and in aloud vo i c e exc l a i me d, "L et me alone!" " Why," says Jonathan, dropping his knife and stick in astonish ment, " why, I aint a touchin' on ye." " Well," says Sally, in a voice which might be indicative of fear, but sounded very like request—" Well, aint you gedn. tut" Jonathan thought a moment of this equivocal reply, and then, after placing his knife in his pocket and blowing his nose, he drew hi s c h a i r b y th e s id e o f p retty S ally, and—the next week they were married. A CAPITAL HIT. —A gentleman in this city, yester day, met a friend who had been passing some time in Texas, and had, just returned. Some conversation en sued upon the country and the people, &c. The gentle man from Texas remarked that the people were gene rally a very curious set of beings, and, among other things, told the following anecdote :—Not long since a person there killed a fellow-citizen in cold blood. He went immediately to a lawyer to consult him as to what course he should pursue to escape punishment. The lawyer, after patiently listening to his case, advised him to run away. " Run away ?" inquired the client, mani. festing , great astoni s h men t. " Y e s, 'tis your only sa f e course.' "Run away ?" again exclaimed, the murderer —" Good heavens l am 1 not in Texas already r-- Lowell Courier. A MAN RUINED BY SUDDEN WEALTH.—The Balti more Sun gives an account of a young man named Benton Starks, from Athens, Ga., who had been remarkably in dustrious and had acquired a respectable property, but whose intellect was completely disordered by his sud denly coming in possession of $7,000. Having collected his funds, he took the stage for Baltimore, through which he passed on to Philadelphia, New York, andßoston, and ultimately returned t o B a l t i more, h av i ng spent nearly all he had. A young gentleman from Virginia came on to induce him, if possible, to return home, but failing in this, requested the police at Baltimore to take him into cus tody.. He had, when taken, two• pistols, valued at $75, 47 pieces of gold coin, amounting to about $235; 191 in paper, and $1 in silver, ma ki ng i n a ll $402. Five fine gold watches were found upon his person—the chains running round his neck and body. Three valuable breast pins of the largest kind glittered in his bosom. A DAY'S WORK. —A labourer in New York, recently, professed himself ready to do a day's work at anything. in an honest way, for a dollar. Some wags employed him to carry a brick, back and forwards, a certain dis tance, doing five miles each hour. Nothing daunted at this tusk, the applicant set to,—he did six miles and three-quarters in the first hour ; in five hours he had ,lorneleted 27 miles—he then took dinner ;he continued for five and a half hours longer, when he had travelled 51 miles. The poor fellow earned his dollar. but he got fame beside. Some thousand dollars changed hands during his feat, and at its close he was backed by a heavy purse, to step out against any competitor. THE EGERTON YEOMANRY. - The following are extracts from a letter addressed by Lord Francis Egerton to the Manchester Chronicle, rela tive to the formation of a yeomanry corps in Lancashire " I find that in some respects those who have undertaken my defence, and who are erroneously described as having done so under instructions from me, have been as much mistaken in matters of fact as my assailants. On collect ing these publications I find myself charged with various offences, some against common sense and di,cretion, and others against the law and constitution of the country, and with intentions of a murderous and blool-thirsty de scription. " The first and most distinct charge is, that I have, on my own authoriry, raised an armed force. Are the editors of papers in large circulation, and the correspondents whose letters they admit, so ignorant as not to know that I should be immediately prosecuted by the Attorney- General for such a proceeding, and that any armed force raised without authority from the Sovereign, procured through her Ministers, would be instantly suppressed by proclamation? " I am described as having made myself its colonel. It has no colonel, because, consisting only of three troops, it is not, by the rules of the War-office, entitled to a commandant of higher rank than a major, and it is to that command and rank I have succeeded, on a vacancy, by permission of the Queen, procured as usual through the recommendation of the Lord Lieutenant. My son has filled another vacant and subaltern commis sion, and after all these formidable proceedings, I be lieve there are still some officers and many privates wanting to comiilete the corps up to the establishment allowed and provided for by the Government. It was under these circumstances that some forty or fifty of my neighbours and tenants expressed to me a wish to form themselves into an additional troop, in the hope of being commanded by my son. The offer was made with out any previous knowledge or sugg es ti on on m y p art. " I am des c rib e d as having done that which I have not done; on communication with Sir Robert Peel. I have had no communication, direct or indirect, with him whatever in the matter. " I have given elsewhere the reason why I have not taken any one of the steps which would have been fleets. sary towards raising the - additional troop lam accused of having levied, I repeat, however, my confession and assurance, that if the application of those who, without an) suggestion of my own, wished to form one, had reached me earlier, I should have had no hesitation in recommending their application. to the existing Govern ment's consideration, I should have- done so on the grounds, first, that eould strongly depend on th e l oya lt y and good conduct of those who made it ; and next, that the establishment of the force in Lancashire is far inferior to that of any county I know of similar importance. I do not believe that the corps, at the annual exercise last June, mustered above 150 nuin, including officers. .1 have served in the Staftbrdshire eomanry when it mus tered between 700 and SW. In Yorkshire, Cheshire, and Warwickshire, I believe this force is on a similar footing. It is certainly possible that the present ativerti ment, or any other, might not consider those circum stances sufficient to authorise an increase. Opinions of public and private individuals may differ as to tile Yttlue and efficiency of this description of force, and circum stances of time and place may affect the expediency of adding to its numbers. My own opinion is, that the force is a valuable one, and ought to be encou raged within reasonable limits I and that, whether to be increased fir hot, resident gentlemen do well to Undertake the command of existing clop!, though the task may, under circum stances of extreme, and, I trust, rare occurrence, be re sponsible and invidious, No man in his senses could think it a de ,, irti.blt thitig, pet' he, to command a detach ment of yeomanry in a civil conflict, which I am said to anticipate, lam quite sure, however, that if the gen tlemen of England are always to be contemplating and shrinking beforehand from such disagreeable possibili ties, the interests of the country at large will suffer with their own, I will, however, at once admit, that if the apprehensions of imminent disturbance which I am sup posed to entertain had ever entered my head, the raising on my own estate at such a moment a single troop of yeoman ry, is not a measure I should have taken for my own protec tion or that of others,and that I should at least have waited for the fullest sanction of the existing Government be fore I fur a moment entertained such a proposal from others: As it is, the proposal has originated exclusively in the desire of some friends and neighbours to serve under my son, and I pledge myself has had no reference whatever to any particular circumstances of the time. On these grounds, I repeat, I should not have hesitated, at a proper period for such application—viz, before the estimates for the year are made up—to state this mighty matter in all its bearings to her Majesty's present Mini stry, who, should they have thought fit to reject the offer of the parties, would assuredly have done so on better grounds than the strange and unfounded supposi tions to which that offer has given rise. " I am not desirous to load your columns with a disqui sition or eulogy on the yeomanry force, but I am tempted to allude to one of its attributes which I consider a merit; that, like many other institutions in this country, it brings together for a common and legitimate purpose men of various politics. I have served myself in the Staffordshire corps under Lords Hatherton and Lichfield. The latter, I believe, still commands it, and promotes its efficiency to the utmost by his example and influence. That among the officers in general my own persna• sion in politics may preponderate I think probable, but in a county where I occasionally reside, Surrey, Lord Lovelace commands the yeomanry. I see that the Queen's escort of Hertfordshire Yeomanry, on her Ma .iesty'a recent visit to Pansanger, was commanded by Lord Cowper. If I mistake not, I have seen addresses moved or seconded in Parliament very lately, under Whig Administrations, by gentlemen in yeomanry uni forms. At the last annual exercise of the West Hiding corps, Mr. Stuart W or tl e y h ap p ene d to b e mounte d on the horse of a brother officer ; the lender was Lord Mil ton, his announced antagonist for the expected election. "I believe some of the Blue and Yellow farmers present could hardly understand it. I do, and value it. "I really hope that my friends of the Whig or Radical Press, whom I have usually found fair though uncorii promising opponents, will reduce their imaginations to a peace establishment ; condemn the yeomanry, if they please, or me for joining it, but in common justice acquit me of the long-sighted, sinister, and blood-thirsty inten tions which I am bold to say are not consistent with my general conduct or reputation. At all events, let them acquit Sir Robert Peel, whom lam ready to expurgate upon oath of all participation in or knowledge of matter,--I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " F. EGEitTON." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The early part of the afternoon was occupied in a discussion on the new Doncaster Cup, an allusion to which appeared in our report of the betting last week. The Corporation have hitherto neglected to make it known whether the entry, which closed so long ago as the 7th instant, was sufficiently numerous to constitute a race ; at present, it is doubtful whether such was the case, and until this be known it would be loss of time to enter into the subject. The St. Leger betting touched two or three of the old established favourites at last week's prices, and brought into play a new one in Mr. Gas coigne's Jack Sheppard, against whom, 25 to 1 to a small sum, and 1,000 to 35 were laid ; the odds about Van Amburgh were taken to a considerable amount, but the general business was flat in the extreme. Closing prices:— ST. LEGER. 5 to 2 agst Scott's lot 5 to 4 agst Mr. llawlinson's Coronation 9 to 2 agst Lord Westminster's Van Amburgh—t. 8 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Middlebam 25 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's gringo 25 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Lampoon 1000 to 35 agst Mr.Gascoigne's Jack Sheppard—taken DERBY. 25 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Brother to Phoenix—taken 45 to 1 agst Mr. Melville's Amadou colt—taken TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES: We have received an Address from the South London Auxiliary of the New British and Foreign Temperance Society, signed by the Treasurer and two Secretaries, setting forth the great advantages which have accrued from the, establishment of these. societies, and adding this as a reason for increased exertions. The Address 'is too long for insertion, but we willingly insert the concluding paragraphs _ _ _ " The Committee, however, feel that the - success which, by the Divine blessing, has crowned their exertions in this cause, is to be regarded as a call and stimulus to more energetic and commensurate effort • strong drink is still destroying its hundreds and thousands around us, ruinin., our fellow-creatures and fellow-immortals in body and soul ; blasting their prospects in time, and hurrying them to perdition for eternity. That the simple, tried, and efficient remedy of Total Abstinence may be brought into more speedy and extensive contact with this moral plague, the Committee ask your contributions. " To such as have embraced the principle and prac tice of Total Abstinence they would first appeal ; and on the ground of gratitude, as well as of justice, would, urge upon them the duty of doing what they can to sus tain and enlarge the operations of the Auxiliary. To those also who, while they have not ostensibly connected themselves with the Temperance movement, have by the discussion of the question, and its direct influence upon themsAves and others, in any measure reduced the amount of their expenditure, the Committee feel war ranted in applying for pecuniary aid. A third class, and one probably more nutaeolf than either of the preceding, upon whom they - are desirous of pressing the claims of the Society, are those who though not prepared to admit the universal, application of the principle of total abstinence, nor regarding it as their duty to adopt the practice, yet acknowledge Temperance Societies to be beneficial in their character, and allow them a place in the system of means now so happily and variously employed for the social and moral im provement of mankind. Upon the Philanthropist, the Patriot, and the Christian, the cause presents distinct and powerful claims for support, in proportion as each re spectively perceives drunkenness to be an evil, and so- b - riety a ,rood ; and admits the suitableness of the means employed by the Society to diminish the one and in crease the other. From each and all they ask—and trust they shall not ask in vain—upon the ground of what they have been permitted to achieve, and of what they are still prepared to undertake, that among the various institutions of the day now favoured with their pecuniary support, a place may from this time be found for the South London Auxiliary to the New British and Foreign Temperance Society." MR. Humz.—lt is reported that Mr. Hume is to replace Mr. Chalmers as Member for the Montrose Burghs. Mr. C. is willing to resign in his favour. The Caledonian Mercury speaks of Mr. Stewart as likely to succeed Mr. Rutherford, the Lord-Advocate,-should he resign his seat for Leith ; but the Edinburgh Observer seems to hold that Mr. Hume has the better chance. STATE OF THE WEATHER AND CROPS. BALLYNACLASIL—The rain has fallen all this day in orrents without a moment's cessation. The injury it will do is incalculable. lam sorry to add, that within this week or two there is a system of petty robbery car ried on nightly, that until now never was heard of in this quiet county. No wonder ; the old potatoes are three parts rotten or wholly gone, and their new crop, of course, not fit to dig. The increase of mendicancy is deplorable.— Wicklow Correspondence. The only field of wheat that we have yet heard to have been cut was a field belonging to Thomas Rose, Esq„ of Court, in this county, which was reaped on Wed nesday, and it was injured by blast and mildew ; it was, however, grown on rich low land, to the crops on which the damage was chiefly confined.—Lim er i c k St an d ar d. Ross.—Notwithstanding the very fickle state of the wea ther of late, several fields of wheat are already cut in this neighbourhood, and next week We have no doubt harvest ing will become very general.—lfcreford Times. We have had another week of ungenial weather. There has been comp a rati ve ly littl e sunshine ; a good deal of rain has fallen, and altogether that fine warmth for which we are accustomed to look in the middle of August, has been almost wanting. As a matter of course the grain crops are in rather a backward state ; and whatever sort of weather may be in reserve for us, we are not now to have an early harvest. We per ceive that the same remark applies to other districts of the country ; and those who have good opportunities of making calculations, affirm that the general harvest will be under an average.—Leeds Times. Considerable anxiety is felt in this neighbourhood as to the effcet of the weather upon the corn harvest, which is now partially commenced, though with pros pects not certainly of the most flattering description. Several fields cut have been exposed for the last week to almost constant and heavy rains, while the standing crops have suffered severely from the winds, which, in violence almost equalled the gales of November. If some great change does not take place in a few days the result must be disastrous. Most of the wealthy millers of this neighbourhood and the Corn-factors have left for the Continent to g e t supplies.- Deeonport Chronicle. Wednesday was really a beautiful day, and yesterday also continued fine till towards the time of nightfall, when the rain again eescended in torrents, and continued. with little intermission throughout the niht ; and to day has been exceedingly unpropitious. .1 e believe we may state with confidence that the wheat crop is seri ously deteriorated, and irremediably so, and that the corn crops generally, as well as the potatoes, are in imminent daryer.—Limerick Reporter. Owing to the very unsettled state of the weather, the hay harvest is very backward in this neighbourhood, and most of the hay which has been long down, appears to he in a very bad state. The corn also appears to be much injured from the long continuance of wet ; there fore, the most intense anxiety is felt, not only among the fames. but also throughout all other classes of the community, for a favourable alteration, otherwise the injury to the grain crops will be much more alarming, and the result very serious.—Hereford Times. A great quantity of wheat has been cut during the week in the neighbourhood ; but, from the continued unfavourable state of the weather, little or none has been carried. Bread is now selling in our shops at twenty pence per gallon, and butter at ls. 3d. per lb.—Hamp shire Advertiser. Reaping has commenced in many places in this county. but, we regret to say, under very unfavourable auspices ; indeed, if the last fortnight had been real dog-day weather and that mostly summer period expired on Wed nesday last, we should at this moment be nearly - at the height of the corn harvest throughout Herefordshire. We have not had heavier rains for months past than fell between Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening last —throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday morning It came down in torrents, and cannot have been other wise than injurious to the standing grain, which, as re ports say, is .much down in many parts. In our corn market on Saturday last wheat was very scarce ; the little in offer, realised a considerably advanced price, and it has now a strong tendency to rise rapidly. In the hop grounds the cold nights have done more mischief than the. heavy rains. May the next month be more congenial both for corn and hops. There will be a new . moon on Monday, and the weatherwise foretel new weather—may they prophecy rightly,— He? eford Times. During the greater part of the present week this dis trict has been visited with heavy rains, which have done serious damage to the crops. Large quantities of hay still lie on the ground, and the corn. crops are laid to such , an extent in many places, that a month of fine weather will scarcely be sufficient to repair the injury already done. More gloomy harvest prospects have scarcely ever been recollected. Manchester Times. ConNWALL (NEwQuAY.)—The harvest has partially commenced in the parishes of Lower St. Columb and Crantock. Several fields of wheat, barley, and oata are in progress of cutting, bat from the showery state of the weather and want of sun, the harvest is more backward than usual at this season of the year. The crops in tit? neighbourhood are promising a fair yield.—Devonport Gazette. SOUTH or DEvon —The late rains have, in some places, where there is a great sheer, laid the wheat.. The crop of new potatoes is very good, and they are selling from Bd. to 10d. per peck.—Deronport Chronicle. A field of wheat at Handley Wood, in the parish of Staveley, Was cut on Thursday last. This may be stated as the precursor of harvest in this neighbourhood, not its commencement. The heavy rains thst have fallen during the present week will nug uient the embarrass ments of the farmer.--Derbyshire Chronicle. The weather has been wet, cold, and generally unfa vourable in this neighbourhood, for the last week ; but we are happy to learn from farmers of the county, that the crops have not as yet experienced any injury, hut w!t a few fine days may remedy. Last evening the rain fell in torrents.—llloamoutkiktre THE HERRING FISHERY. BERWICK.—Our fishing this week has been pretty good, although on Saturday morning there were scarcely any. On Monday our boats proceeded to Holy Island, where the night before there was a good fishing, and some boats got shots as high as 27 crans, several, how ever, having not -.. , more than two or three crans. On Tuesday night some boats got nearly 40 crans, but ninny very few. Wednesday night twiny coarse weather, the boats were not at sea. This morning (Friday) the boats are returning with very little success. The fish last taken were very much 'spawned, so that it may be feared they hare removed off this part of the coast: We learn that the fish taken were the same shoal that the week before were off Dunstanborough Castle. Our boa will not average above 40 crans yet. HOLY ISLAND.—This week the fishing has been better than last, the takes ranging from one to 30 crans per boat. On Thursday 12s. per cran was readily ob tained from the Frenchmen, of whom we have between 30 and 40 sail in our harbour. Owing to the wind set ting in from the North, the boats were not able to go to sea on Wednesday evening. NORTH SUNDERLAND.—The fishing here, and at Beadnell, Newton, and Craster, has been very partial since Thursday morning last week, althoughsome boats which fell amongst the fish have had as high as 20 and 30 crans. On Wednesday morning last the fishing was much more general than for some previous days, being from 10 to 30 trans per boat, and every appearance of a good fishing. On Wednesday night there were no boats out in consequence of the stormy state of the weather. There are about 300 boats at the fishing here this sea son, affording a fine sight when they are proceeding to the fishing-ground in the evening. EYEMOUTH.—For the past week the fishery here has been very unsuccessful, until Wednesday, when there was a general take, some boats having as high as 52 crans. Prices , from 13s. to 14s. per cran. Owing to the stormy state of the weather, there were no beats off on Wednes day.night. There are twelve French vessels here wait ing on green fish. DUNBAR, AUG. 11.—Yesterday, morning the take was greater and more general than it has been for some years. This morning, although there are many splendid shots, the fishing is not so heavy. Last night there were up wards of 300 boats in the bay, and above 200 have de livered here this morning. Eighteen foreign vessels are 'now curing with us, and the shore is literally crowded with curing stances. Prices from 10s. to I Is. per cran. AN,writuTmia, Aua. 10.—There has been a good her ring fishing here this morning, and the take- - has been pretty general. Several of the boats have caught thirty barrels. The price commenced with 18s., but soon de , dined to 135.. as the boats came in well laden. ABERDEEN, Auo. 3.—The herring fishery here is now fully as prosperous as at any station on the coast. The fishing on Saturday morning was very successful—the average being from twelve to fifteen crans per boat ; while the quality of the fish was uncommonly excellent. The average take since the commencement may be stated at from forty•five to fifty cram. Tnuaso AND WESTWARD.—The boati in this district were hindered from getting to sea, by rough weathe r , from 27th ult. until Monday week. The total average for the season will not exceed seventy crans, and the fishermen do not expect that much more will be done in this district this year. WICK, AtIG. s.—The herring fishing at this place has been very successful for the last eight days. The gene ral average for the season up to this date will be about fifty crans—exactly double what it was in 1840, but twenty-five crans per boat urder what it was in 1839. There is about the same quantity of fish caught this year as there was in 1839 at the same period, there being about 200 boats more on the station this season, which_ makes the total quantity caught 35,000 crans. Priceo cured fish may be quoted at 20s. per barrel. Most of the sales yet made have been at 20s. 6d. SHETLAND.—The fishing in Shetland has been t e sY et et i a failure. The season has not yet fairly coinn ne there. ORKNEY.—The fishing at the Orkneys, throng yet very poor. Little o r n o thing was done before this week. , is WHAT WILL NOT A MOTHER DO TO SAVE HER CHILD?—We learn that on Friday last, as a child of Mrs. M , Gee, of Westminster, aged five years, was at play about the well, it climbed upon the curb, and was precipitated head foremost into the well, which w as about twenty feet deep. Mrs. M'Gee, missed the child, and hearing cries from the well, although in very i poor health an d h av i ng a child only fi ve weeks ol d , descended and res cue d th e u nfortunate su fferer, wh o was clinging to the stone of the wall an d cr y in g f or help, gng daring and bold achieveme nts, althou gh of rare occur rence, show what a mother will do to save a suffering l child.--Cork Southern Re p orter.
