ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London IViedical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the /scantittloutrprActices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhma and the various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Importers, Holborn Bars. Provinces, acknowledging the generosity of the relief committee at Calcutta in placing three-fifths of the sum they may collect at his disposal, writes as follows : " For the relief of those who from age and infir mity are unable to work I have established relief committees at the headquarters of each of the distressed districts and a central committee at Agra for the purpose of inviting and realising subscrip tions. The central committee has been placed in communication with the several district relief com mittees and requested to keep themselves informed as to the available funds and wants of each; and to aid it in due propottiou to its requirements, so far as the money at their disposal would permit. In case it may not be generally known, I may state that, with the sanction of the Governor-General, I have engaged on the part of the Government to double all donations and monthly subscriptions that may be received from the public. This has operated in these proinces as a great encourage ment to a liberal support of the Government in its endeavours to _alleviate the existing distress, and if it be made generally known, will probably have the same effect elsewhere." On the application of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, the Governtoent had deputed col. Baird Smith, who is describe( as an experienced officer, to the North Western provinces, with the view of ascertaining and repoitio,g upon the state of the distressed districts, with special reference to the in fluence which the callmityluay have on the im port trade of Bengal. •t 4- . _ solution of these problems with others equally puzzling, prominent among which may be men tioned that of placing the , whole apparatus so far below the water-line as to be perfectly inaccessible to shot. Hence, the concentration of parts we find in the engines of the Warrior, hence the enormous cylinders placed horizontally (and which, though standing in their lower rim, you cannot reach their upper circumference with a walking-stick) will still be seven feet below the Hue at which any fire of an enemy could reach them. The weight and size of the pistons might seem at first sight incompatible with the theory laid down, but the apparent light ness of them are indispensable, in order to make the tremendous steam-power fully available ; and, in fact, all the dimensions have been carefully regu lated by this paramount consideration. As all other things being equal, the man with the most capa cious lungs will win the race, so the marine engine which can utilise the largest volume of steam will be the best and swiftest sea horse. Surveying the condensing apparatus, with its nine-inch injection pipes, these scientific principles income forcibly impressed on the mind. The slides may be referred to as illuStrationsoc the finished workmanship which characterises every portion of the machinery and which is also essential to the general result.' Their surfaces are 6 ft, by 5 ft. 6 in., yet they are scraped to a true surface with extraordinary-care in order to reduce to a minimum the power exerted by the action of the eccentric in pushing them to and fro. We now come to the steam shaft, which is forged in-one piece of..malleabladron 30 ft, long and 20in, in diateter, having two cranks in its length cut out of the solid. It is not quite .so large as the shaft of the Great Eastern engines, but •from the fact of its having, two throws or cranks in it was even more difficult_ O Make. - It' is a wonderful specimen of smith's( work,' and a grand proof of what the steam hammer has enabled nsto accomplish in overcoming these mechanical difficulties. The screw, 24 ft. in diameter, p,nd weighing about 18 tons, is 120 fle from ofo enqtnes, and is connected with ,the main shaft by successive shafts each 26 ft. l ong b y 18 i n. in diameter: • The screw alley is 9 ft, wide by 7 high, at the stern there is -the usual well, fitted with the hoisting 'apparatus for raising the screw to the deck. The bearing on which the screw works are lined with lignum vitce, a very beautiful, economical, and simple application, first discovered by Mr. Penn, and by which the immenie cost of repairs froni the effect of friction' on the old brass bearings are re duced to . a nominal amount. The Warrior. will [ have two funnels eaoh . & feet in diameter and '25 feet above the deck, but of course made telescopic. Taken altogether, the machinery required for pro , [ pnlsion will weigh 890 tons—a great weight, cer tainly, though not, so much when one remembers that the power exerted by it will be little short of 6,000 horses indicated. Great carahas been taken with the framing, foundations, and other accessories of the engines and screw, so that whatever test they may be pelt to in actual war service all risk of their being found defective in point of strength is avoided. Thus, in . the possible event of the Warrior being used as a ram—an idea which seems now exploded —the engines are bedded down firmly in wrought iron girders of the most massive kind, which are built into the frame of the ship. So,' again, the stern and rudder posts, on which the screw revolves, are prodigious forgings, involving such extraordi nary difficulties in their execution that the former was only completed after nine months' labour, car: ried on day and night Without intermission. One striking result of the gigantic scale on which these engines are planned is that it will be quite safe for the engineers in charge to move about among the working parts while in motion—an advantage which has been facilitated by. the introduction of light iron ladders in various places. In a similar spirit the cylinder cover and those of the conden sers can be removed . ‘4 the',interrialpaEts .irrtittrtiOleneVer'neassa*lird`lhe we replaced again in twenty-four hours. In case of leak, besides the ordinary provision made for such mishaps, the injection pipes to the condensers may be used for pumping. The boilers can all be worked in dependently of each other, and the slides are so arranged that no mistake can possibly be made in turning on steam. Viewed as a whole, what strikes us most in these engines is not so much their size or the simplicity of the general design, or even the artistic proportions of the details ; it is the combination of these qualities with an almost mar vellous perfection of workmanship which gives to the whole its chief interest and importance. Enor mous sizes in machinery are in themselves matters of comparatively easy accomplishment but to unite with these the same soundness, finish, and accuracy of fitting as are attainable with moderate dimen sions is a matter of the utmost difficulty. To accomplish this is the real test of mechanical excel lence, and of such excellence the engines of the Warrior are unrivalled examples. When our engineers first attempted marine engines on the great scale required for ocean steam navigation they were not very successful ; but by simplifying the parts, paying increased attention to the quality of I the material, and striving to secure perfect accuracy and finish in every detail, they have at length triumphed over all obstacles. Messrs. Penn and Son, beginning with the little river boats, and working up from that standard to the largest engines for war purposes, have led the way in this direction, and thus secured their eminent position, as marine engine makers. Of that eminence the engines of the Warrior are a splendid proof. The engines of the Black Prince, recently launched by Napier at Glasgow, will be precisely similar to those of the Warrior. These have also been com pleted by Messrs. Penn, and are now being put together on the TI.LE INDIAN RELIEF FUND. Last,night the fund now being raised, under the auspices of the Lord Mayor, for the relief of the appalling destitution in Upper India, amounted to about £4,450.

By the mails of last night a letter, of which a copy is subjoined, was despatched. by the Lord Mayor, as President of the Committee embodied at the public meeting in the Egyptian-hall on Thurs day, to the Mayor of each city and provincial town, and to the clergy throughout the country : " THE INDIAN FAMINE RELIEF FUND. " Mansion-house, E.C., March 28. " Sir,—At a public meeting held here this day, a committee was appointed for devising measures for alleviating the appalling distress 'caused by the famine raging in the North.:West 'Provinces and other parts of IncVa, and a subscription list having bee cried it wis resolved that the M'cal auttbri-' ties in the United Kingdom he invited to co-operate in the good work. " The details which have appeared in the news papers sufficiently demonstrate the necessity of immediate relief being supplied, and it is therefore intended to remit to India as large an amount as possible by the Marseilles mail leaving on the 3d proximo. " The committee deem it unnecessary to offer any suggestions as to the course to be adopted, but they hope that subscription lists will be opened far and wide, and that, wherever practicable, public meetings will be held as early as possible. " The urgency of the case is so great that the Committee have not time to forward you any docu ments in proof of the distress which prevails, but any information upon the subject which you may require I shall be happy to furnish. " You will please to remit any subscriptions which you may receive to the credit of the Indian Famine Relief Committee with the Bank of England, and the same will be forwarded by each successive mail to the authorities in India. The detail of the sums you receive you are requested to forward to me for an acknowledgment in the public papers. " I have the honour to be, sir, " Your mcst obedient servant " WM. CUBITT, Mayor." A similar communication was addressed by the chief magistrate to the various bankers in the king dom. The newspapers by the last mail from India con tain many statements indicating the character of the prevailing distress. Numbers of people on their way to Delhi and other stations, where relief was procurable in the shape of food or wages for labour had perished from want and weakness. Some, it is stated, get as far as Delhi and fall just as they reach the place they have been fondly looking to as the goal where their sufferings are to end. A painful instance, among others, is related. A family, con sisting of fathei, mother, and three children, were found on the road near the fort. The father, mother, and two of the children were dead; and the re maining child, still living, was clinging to its dead mother's breast. Many impoverished and starving parents were said to be anxious to give away or sell their children to save their lives. It is stated on the authority of the Meerut Relief Committee that up to the 22d of January the deaths from starva tion in that district amounted to 109, and there was reason for believing that many more bad occurred. The average number of applicants rose in a week from 400 to 800. Poor_houses and dispensaries lad been established, and during the month of January the numbers who had received relief were—in the city poor-house, 8,205, equal to the whole popula tion of an ordinary provincial town ; sick in the dispensary, 2,714 ; in Ghazeeabad, 11,345 ; in Hauper, 3,600; total, 25,864 persons. Besides whom, 7,121 had been forwarded to the different public works which bad been opened on the Rhor kee and Dehra road, at Hauper and at Shabjehan pore. The admissions into the City poor-house had been confined solely to persons positively incapacitated by age or infirmity, or by weak• ness arising from absolute starvation from earn ing a livelihood by labour. The majority were either joolahas or chumars, and a great proportion were women with large families of young helpless children. Many had been received in the last stage of destitution. Some starving natives had reached the works at the Fort at Agra in such et state of exhaustion that they died before relief could be afforded. In a fortnight some 12,000 fugitives from the famine•stricken districts bad sought refuge in Lucknow. There, at a public meeting presided over by Sir R. Walpole, a famine relief fund had been organised, and 13,000 rupees were raised during the proceedings, In Travancore a season of scarcity had resulted in a famine of great intensity. Not only had the crops of grain and esculent roots failed, but the, trees were withered away. A black caterpillar, hitherto un known, had devoured the standing crops. The people were selling their children to the Mahome dans. "Of the people," says a correspondent of the Madras Times, " directly connected with the mis sions alone 1,500 had died by the end of November." The Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West TEE WiRRIOR. Day by day this noble frigate continues to advance rapidly towards completion, and there is little doubt but that in the course of six weeks or so more she will be in a condition to go round under steam to Poktstnalstli; where she is to be rigged and masted and got/ready for sea with all despatch. But with a newle i tsselig such an entirely experi menial character ase this armour ship innumerable details have to be consiclerel and even tried beldre finally approved of, so.that, even if her equipment , progresses faster than.il ids hitherto done, it-is still likely to be towards .;the middle or end of Sep , tember before her guns and stores are in, and she cattle ranked is an effective man of war. The ;labour of putting on the erormous armour-plates, 'which are all dovetailed into each other, is one which must necessarily — le slowly completed, and the question whici occurs to every one on seeing this process is hew could one be got off again in case of its being fractured hy a shot. TO do this it would be almost nezessary ,o strip the side of the vessel, for the flanges of each plate fit so deeply and closely into those all around it that, supposing one broken at the water-line, a double row of those above it would have to be removed before the injured plate could be replaced. In one most im portant point, however, the Warrior is far advanced, and that is the Matter of her steam machinery. No matter what may be the doehts existing as. to the soundness of the sciertific principles upon which the vessel itself has been constructed, there can be none as to the eXcellerce of the engines by whiCh she will be propelled. These have been 'completed, are all in, position, and steam has been got up in them en two or three occasions. By keeping the vessel's bows against the side of the Victoria Dock they have'been worked - with full power ahead, with results satisfacto'y almost beyond anticipation. Not a bearing heated, not a single screw or nut required readjustment or alteration, and the ma chinery, in fact, was perfect. They are, beyond a doubt, the most splendid speci nensof marine engines ever produced. The Lords of the Admiralty have in spected theM, and expreped thEir admiration, but the Braish public Also happens to be taking a lively ante ess just teqvu'ka oval matters, and ,isre .ay \ theitsi4e be dseirin no unacoepte.ble serficeir we describe these magnificent machines in detail. Their vast, but simple, proportions—their union of strength with tightness, and even almost elegance of form—the tremendots concentration of force within the closest compass and in the smallest number of parts, and above all the perfect finish of the workmanship make itimpossiblc to survey these great machines without feelings of astonishment and almost of awe. Nominally yielding an aggre grate force of 1,250 horses, their indicated power will probably be little, if at all short of 6,000 horses. Each cylinder is nine feet four inches in diameter, and they require for their joint service the evapora tion of 16,250 gallons, or '4,600 cubic feet of water per hoar. If the reader bears in mind that every cubic foot of water yields 1,000 cubic feet of steam he will cease to be surprised when we say that the main steam-pipe is 2 feet 8 inches across, and that a big man could not only pass down it and either of its branches into the cylinders, but thence through the passages of the slide valves into the condensers themselves. In these latter he would find himself in a two-roomed space 15 feet long by 12 feet broad and 9 feet high, each compartment supplied with a 9-ft. pipe (the size of a large street main) for con densing purposes, and with a 7-inch pipe for con veying the hots water back atain to the boilers. It is difficult for the most lively imagination to realise the extent of the chymical and mechanical agencies which are intended to operate within the limits and proportions we have thus partially indicated. To set them in motion 10 boilers are necessary, ranged five on either side of the ship, each boiler fed by four fur naces, 40 in all, with a stokehole or passage between more than 12 feet wide, every boiler with a comple ment of 440 tubes, through which the flame passes, and capable of containing, when filled to their work ing level, 19 tons; or 4,256 gallons of water. Let us suppose the 40 furnaces lighted, the 10 great boilers, each 14 feet long by 10 feet 3 inches broad, and 12 feet 4 inches high, all charged with water, and the steam rushing down the pipe made to escape from its iron prison. It can only do so by forcing its way through the slides, pushing to and fro the huge piston, and dashing through the slide valve to be quenched in the condenaor—yet what a tremen dous force is required to overcome even these ob stacles ! The weight of the piston and the parts connecting it with the crank are no less than 13 tons, the stroke four feet, and the number of revo lutions calculated at 50 per minute. Here is a weight of 13 tons moving backwards and forwards 100 times in that brief interval, or in fact driven by the steam power at the rate of more than 400 feet a minute. Of course, the principles of mechanism are essentially the same as those by which the smallest river steamer is propelled, but when one examines attentively the immense size and weight of a ship constructed like the Warrior, and endea vours to estimate the magnitude of the power re quired to drive her through the water at a speed of 14 knots, the difference in degree is something very difficult to realise. If by any process she could be weighed when all her stores, armaments, and equipments are completed, she would overbalance nearly 9,000 tons, or within 1,000 tons of the weight of the Great Eastern when launching. This alone is a vas inertia one would imagine sufficiently great to overcome without a resisting medium like water superadded, Yet, with these engines and her street of boilers in her vast hold, it is confi dently a nticipated that she will attain r,a, speed hitherto unknown in the navy. Of course, as the propelling power lies entirely in the steam, the en gines being merely the medium for communicating that power to the progress of the ship, the less force ' that is expended in keeping them up to their work the more remains to be exerted for the attainment of the final object. It has, therefore, been the constant study of our great mechanical engineers to bring down marine engines to th e s i m plest possible proportions , and to finish every detail in the most perfect manner, so as t o re duce to a minimum the tax on the steam power required for mere engine -driving. In the man-of-war they have to combine the THE NAVY. The gunboat Violet, Lieut. and Commander Eugene C. Batty, at Aberystwith, seems to have been tolerably successful in picking up men for the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, upwards of 20 having joined in that small harbour. More are likely to join, and some have been raised for gene ral service in the navy. The Violet has been useful during the late tempestuous weather. On the 19th of February, when the schooner Aquila, of Borth, was totally wrecked near Aberystwith, the crew were saved through the exertions of the officers and men belonging to the gunboat, who waded through. the surf, and by means of life buoys and and life lines brought all the schooner's crew ashore in safety. 'The Aquila was soon broken up by the force of the waves. On the 21st a large ship was observed at anchor about 24 miles from Aberyst with. Shortly afterwards all her masts were cut away, as it was blowing a heavy gale from north west. The Violet was not afloat, and the weather was too severe for an open boat to reach the ship ; but, as soon as the gale had in some degree mode rated, a boat was despatched, and found the dis tressed ship to be the Bellewood, of 2,500 tons burden, laden with cotton, 37 days from New Orleans. She was in comparative safety at the time the boat reached her, the gale having mode rated. Her captain decided upon waiting the arrival of a steamtug for Liverpool, which had been telegraphed for when she was first observed in distress. Steam was got up on Thursday on board the screw gun vessel Nimble, 5 (tender to her Majesty's ship Nile), at Devonport, and she proceeded from Hamoaze outside Plymouth breakwater, to try her machinery, and on returning anchored in the Sound. It is said that the Nimble will sail for Bermuda on Tuesday. The Lords of the Admiralty are making minute inquiries from the authorities at Devonport dock yard regarding the condition of the screw steam shit) Princess Royal, 91, Captain Charles Fellowes. If her repairs be likely t o occupy. muc h time, no doubt some other ship will be appointed to bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, Commander in-Chief of the Channel Fleet. THE 801118.4 Y The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Ellora, Capt. S. K. Joy, arrived at' South ampton yesterday at 7 a.m., bringing the heavy portion of the above-named mails, in charge of Mr. Romayne, of the General Post-office. She left Alex andria on the 14th inst., Malta on the 19th, and Gibraltar on the 23d. Between Alexandria and Malta Zshe experienced a very heavy gale with a high sea ; between Maltaand Gibraltar a very strong northwesterly gale, with a heavy head sea ; along the coasts of Spain and Portugal a strong north easterly gale, with a heavy head sea ; across the Bay of Biscay light south-westerly winds with rain ; and up Channel north-westerly winds and fine weather. The Ellora brought 67 passengers (viz., 22 first class, 15 second-class and servants, 13 children, and 7 deck), and on freight 8 bokes of specie, value £1,690 sterling, 1,539 bales and 12 cases of silk, 42 cases of shawls, and 365 packages of miscellaneous merchandise.

STAMPED, SD. TUE SALMON FISHERIES. Fifty years, ago salmon was sold at three •halfpence a pound. It is now thought cheap at two shillings, and - the fact deserves notice, if only for its unique and astonishing character. There is no parallel to it. Not another instance could be found in which an article of food has been lost to the public, or con verted by the course of events from a common treat into an expensive luxury. Things have generally gone in exactly the opposite direction, the enjoy ments which were the priv,ilege of the opulent in 1810 are at everybody's Command in 1860. True it is that the price of meat has risen, but that is sim ply because the demand has overtaken even the increased supply. It is not true that the consumers of meat have become fewer ; on the contrary, they have been multiplied fivefold, and it is precisely because so many people are ready with their money that farmers and butchers drive ao good a trade. With the single exception now before us, even the rarest productions have been brought within ordi nary -reach; but, though pineapples are hawked aboutthe streets at a halfpenny a slice, salmon still averages two shillings a pound. • This is the solitary example of a diminished supply—of a supply which has failed without any failure of demand ; and, if we examine the matter, we may indeed lament over the history, but we shall not be surprised at the result. It is all our own doing. We have destroyed our Salmon Fisheries, and_ consequently they yield no_ salmon. If it were not for, the rivers of Ireland and Scotland, which have been better cared for, we should get no salmon at ,all, or next to none. The Duke of Richmond has efiishery ou the Spey which produces a clear profit of £12,000 a-year The Duke of Beaufort has a fishery on the Wye which ought to be pretty nearly as profitable, but it returns just one bundredth part of the sum. Of course, some of the i :storieS'about cheap salmon in times past - are fo'N,Accounted for, not merely by the profusion of theisUpply, but by the restriction .of the demand. When the only market for the fish Was in the neareievillage it could hardly be dear, whereas while railway_s_distribute itroverthe whblo .country it can never be unreasonably cheap. This, however, is only part of the story. There is evi dence in abundance to 'show that in former days' vast ouantities of salmon were taken where Scarcely a fieriii now to be seen. The monks of Finchsle, iii PUrtaiai; lived on the banks of the Wear, and ,lied a flihery of their own on the river. Besides . supplying themselves with fish, of _which the con-. isumption in a religious house was very large, they sold slalom, as' their records tell us, in the year ?1,348‘ totthe value of £9 Bd. As they bought a bull undethree cows in the same year for £1 125.,. • 'the weight of fish sold to produce such a sum of money must have been enormous. Many years later the yield of the river was very great indeed, but it is now doubted whether such a thing. as a salmon, is to be found in it. All round our coast towns 'it used to be a condition in indentures that the apprentice should not be required to eat salmon more than three times a week. Few such house holds now get it as many times a-year. The case being clear about the actual decline of the supply, the next question is as to the cause. We can explain it in half-a-dozen words. Salmon are migratory fish. At certain seasons they come up from the sea and ascend the rivers for the pur pose of spawning. If a dam or weir is built across the river so as to prevent their getting up the stream, they either exhaust themselves in attempts to surmount the obstacle. or they spawn in unfavour able places and other injurious conditions, or are caught and killed while shoaling together at the foot of the barrier. This is exactly what takes place in many English rivers, and when such pains are taken to shut the salmon out it i s no ma tt er of wonder that they. should be unable to get in. They endeavour to come to our doors, and we drive thein. away. Besides this, they 'are trapped in all kinds of nets at all times of the year ; killed when they, are uneatable, or before they arc half-grown ; poisoned by the washing of mines end gasworks,' and persecuted to such a degree that it is a marvel the breed is not extinct. Hitherto, however, we have not quite succeeded in exterminating the bountic3 of Nature. There are a few, but only a few, rivers from which the salmon has utterly disappeared. Unluckily, there are very many from which it is fast disappearing, and we must bestir ourselves if we wisli to keep the supply from perishing altogether. Here, however, arises a point of considerable importance. How far has this evil been incidental to our commercial progress ? To what extent has the advantt of civilisation and enterprise produced the conditions under which the Salmon Fisheries • have declined? Mines and manufactures are of more consequence, after all, than particular. fishing grounds, and if We „cannot have everything we-may • well be content with what we have. On this pdallt we are glad to sad that we, can 'ittr ere northe least reason for regard- ing Salmon Fishcriesasincompatible with modern enterprise. Here and there a liver may be ruined by a mine or a manufactory, but those are rare instances. The Commissioners who have just in vestigated the subject_inform us that, apart from all the rivers thus corrupted, there exists a vast area of water admirably adapted to the breeding of salmon, and almost wholly free from natural ob structions. Even where it is desirable, for special purposes, to dam a stream by means of a bank or weir, a passage for the s a l mon may b e eas il y pro vided. Their instincts make them intelligent, and however strange it may sound to hear of a fish getting up a ladder, the thing is nevertheless done. Contrivances can be applied to the weir by the aid of which the salmon will get over it as naturally as fowls will march up a plank to roost, or horses go down stairs to a stable. In fact, there is not the least difficulty on this score. The salmon is not like the red deer or the bustard. He does not require a desert for his convenience, or an artificial solitude for his protection. He comes to our doors of his own accord, and only asks not to be driven away. He wants no more " preserving" than a sparrow, but, like a sparrow, unfortunately, he is trapped and killed for little more than killing's sake. It happens, however, that though farmers and gardeners abominate sparrows, nobody abominates salmon, and the decline of the breed is a very serious business. It would be a mistake to look upon this as a rich man's question. The very object in view is to make salmon once more an article of food instead of a luxury—to bring it again, if possible, to the ordinary price of meat, and to enrich our markets with fresh supplies. At our rate of progress we cannot afford to lose any article of consumption, 'least of all one so palatable and nutritious as this. It is not much that is asked of us. The supply is offered on very reasonable terms. The ground re quires no preparation, and the crop is self-sown ; we have only to abstain from rooting it up in the ear, or trampling it under foot. If we will but leave off destroying the fish in the egg, killing the young fry, and taking the old salmon when they are unfit for food, the fisheries will soon set them selves right. People will ask why this havoc is committed, or what can be the profit in sweeping off unsaleable fish. The Commissioners tell us a secret or two. Salmon out of season is sometimes cured for keeping. Smoke and salt together will cover many curiosities of flavour, and good and bad fish come to a common level when well " kip pered." Then there are markets across the Chan nel. Either our neighbours are indifferent judges of salmon, or their admirable cookery triumphs over little defects of material; at any rate, even unsea -1 sonable fish fetches a price, we are told, on the coasts of France. It. must, we are sure, have gratified most peoplo to observe that the Home Becretary is at length prepared to take this subject in hand, and intro duce some proposals for the regulation and protec tion of our Salmon Fisheries while there is yet time. We shall learn the intentions of Govern ment soon after the Easter recess, and, if the sug gestions of the Commissioners are not exactly car ried out, their Report will prove of the greatest value in - the elucidation of the question. It is curious to remark that though the decline of the fisheries is owing, in great measure, to want of local surpervisioti, there was no want of local interest. The Commissioners found that all people on the spot were anxious in the extreme, but that, owing- to misconceptions, jea lousies, and absence of anything like co-operation, no good could be accomplished. However, we trust the evil has now reached its limit, and we happ en to know that the remedy is sure. Ireland and Scotland were once in as bad case as England and Wales, but judicious legislation has brought (Ine of them round, and is fast setting up the other. It is now our turn, an d we hope that a short ti me h ence the salmon season mayopen for the b ene fi t, not of I the few, but of the million.—?ivies, [ADVERTISEUENT.] Pills and medicine invarlablY perpetuate diseases : th e i r annoyance, die appot fw*ate and n t m ent, and expense may b e avoided by persons i n indifferent health:sending only their address to E. s.
