JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past reco v ery , from Convulsions arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the Gums the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the Teeth with ease ; and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the Gums ; and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nut vry . where there are young Cimiidren ; for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c. The great success of this Medicine during the last Twenty-five Years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it, under the name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, Le very particu lar to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that time Names of Barclay and Sons, 95, Fa rringdon-street, London (to whom Mts.

BRITISH CIIAIEL FISHERIES. Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present state of the British Channel Fisheries, and She Laws affecting the Fishing Trade of England, &e. From the late period of the session at which your Com mittee was appointed, they have been unable to extend their inquiry beyond the various fisheries in the British Channel connected with such places on the coast between Yarmouth in Norfolk, and the Land's End in Cornwall, as have more immediately pressed upon their attention ; but from the nature and extent of this inquiry they have reason to believe that they have obtained much useful in formation as regards the principal causes of distress which at present affect the several Channel fisheries connected with the English coast, and which they think it import ant should be submitted to the earliest consideration of the House and of his Majesty's Government. It is with great regret your Committee have to report that they find this large portion of the British Channel fisheries and the various interests with which they are connected, to be generally in a very depressed and declining state; that they appear to have been gradually sinking since the peace in 1815, and more rapidly during the last eight or ten years ; and that the capital employed in these fisheries does not yield a profitable return ; while the number of vessels and boats, as well as of men and boys employed, is much diminished ; and the fishermen and their. famil:4o,-whaeforeserly-were. maintained by their in dustry, and enabled to pay rates and taxes, are now, in a greater or less degree, dependent upon the poor rates for support. _ _ Among the causes which, in the opinion of your Com mittee, have tended materially to produce this depression, and which still continue to affect it, they beg leave to elll the attention of the House to the following, as those which appear to be immediately susceptible of remedy—namely, the extensive interference and aggression of the French fishermen on the coasts of K , nt and Sussex ; the large quantity of foreign caught fish illegally imported and sold in the London market ; and the great decrease and compa ratively scarcity of fish in the Channel. To these several points your Committee will address their observations separately, premising that there are also others of minor importance, some of which refer only to particular branches of the fisheries, and upon which they will afterwards remark.

At a late meeting of the inhabitants of Helston, it was proposed to make a rate of 4d. in the pound for the service of the Church. The Dissenters present said that as there was every reason to believe the Legislature would free them from this unjust tax in the next Session of Parliament, they thought that no more should he raised by a rate than was necessary for three months, at the end of which time a new rate could be made if no change teak place in the state of the law in the mean time. This proposition not being acceded to, it was then moved, that as it was unjust to tax Dissenters for the expense incurred in places of worship which they did not attend, no rate for that pur pose should be raised. The Mayor, who presided, refused to put this motion, which he said was illegal, when it was moved as an amendment to the original propositio n for a 4d. rate, that the rate he made for Id. in the pound, which was carried by a large majority. Had the opposi tion for refusing a rate been carried, the churchwardens would have been empowered to make a rate themselves ; but by reducing the rate, or by adjourning to a distant day, this is avoided.—Devonport Independent. In the village of Steeple Claydon, Bucks, a very malignant scarlet fever is now prevalent. A person of the name of Butcher, who is also a butcher by trade, bad five of his children destroyed by it, in as many days last week, and they were all lying dead in one room on Saturday last. The symptoms were very like those of cholera, with a bad state of the throat, and a purplish rash, and few of them were ill more than 36 hours. Mr. &owe, a medical gentleman from Buckingham, who visited the place and saw the dead bodies, at once pro nounced the cause of this mortality to be the exhalations from a most offensive slaughter-house and pigstye, and several heaps of manure, which filled the whole house with noxious materials. It would be well for the public if persons would consider the nose as one of the centinels of the body, and would remember that what is offensive to it is injurious to the health, and ought to be removed. In the present instance, there was not even a suspicion in the minds of the parents that they were surrounded by an aerial poison, though the offensive smell was recognizable at many yards distance from the house. Another child in an adjoining house, named Bugging; has since died of the disease.— o.lford Journal. 1...--INTERFERENCE OF THE FRENCH FISHERMEN. It is in evidence before your Committee, that for a long time past, and up to the present period, the fishermen from Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe, and other places in France, have been accustomed to fish with large fleets of fishing vessels upon the Kent and Sussex coasts, frequently within half a league of the shore, and occasionally much nearer; and in the bays and shallow waters, in which it is parti cularly necessary for the preservation of the brood of fish that such as frequent those waters during the breeding season should not be disturbed, or their young destroyed before they have attained maturity. That the French fishing vessels have greatly increased since the peace, there being now between 200 and 300 sail out of Boulogne only, and they are more numerous, and of a much larger tonnage than those of our own countrymen upon that coast, being generally manned with about double or triple the number of men usually employed in the English vessels, and car rying nets and fishing gear of a much larger and heavier description than those used by our own fishermen. That in consequence of this superiority on the part of the French, the English fishermen coming in constant compe tition with them have sustained so great an injury, and such frequent loss and damage of their nets and fishing gear, especially in the herring and mackerel seasons, which are the harvests of fishermen, that they have not only been unable to earn a livelihood as they used to do by their trade, but have in some instances been wholly ruined, or have withdrawn altogether from their pursuit; while the French fishermen continuing on our coast, and some times not returning into their own ports during the whole period of the herring or mackerel seasons, mike a constant practice of selling their cargoes of fish at sea, and of ship ping them into carrier-boats coming from the Thames and other parts, and into boats which board them in the bay of Dover and elsewhere on the coast, for the supply of the London market. It has also been proved to your Com mittee, that in the other seasons of the year, when the French employ themselves in fishing with hooks and lines for turbot and other sea fish in the Channel, they are used to come in great numbers every morning from Boulogne and other places into the English bays, before they com mence fishing, and there drag with nets for bait in the shallow waters, close upon the shore, taking and destroy ing an immense quantity of the young and unsiseable fish at those periods of the year when the French are not per mitted to fish in the bays upon their own coast,* and when the English fishermen are accustomed to leave as much as possible their breeding grounds for fish undis turbed. This last mentioned practice your Committee find is also the cause of great injury to the English fishermen, and is much complained of as tending to dimi nish the quantity of fish upon that coast; and they cannot bet remark, that while these proceedings are taking place upon the English side of the Channel on the part of the subjects of France, the fishermen of England are not al lowed to fish within three leagues of the French coast; but on their approaching that limit have been warned off by the revenue or police coast guard vessels in the service of the French Government, and told that they will not be allowed to fish within that distance of their shore. Your Committee also think it right to observe, that great attention on the part of the French Government appears to be paid to the encouragement and extension of their Channel fisheries, particularly as a nursery for their seamen; for which latter purpose they require so large a number as 18 or 20 men to be carried on board each fishing vessel ; and it is stated in evidence before your Committee that bounties are also granted in aid of their fisheries. While to these causes, therefore, your Com mittee attribute the greatly increased numbers of the French fishermen, and observe the decrease and distresses of our own, they deem it their duty to suggest that all possible protection and encouragement should be promptly given to the English fisheries, not only in justice to the parties engaged in them, but regarding them in a national point of view as the most valuable source of supply to our navy. Now, in order to remedy the grievances at present sustained by the English fishermen from the interference of their rival neighbours, as already mentioned, your Committee are of opinion that foreign fishermen should be prevented at all seasons of the year from fishing within one league, or such other distance of the English coast as by the law or usage of nations is considered to belong exclusively to this country; so that the fishermen of England may at least be pl iced upon an equal footing with those of foreign states, as regards the protection afforded to them by their own country; and, further, that regulations e all foreign fi s h ermen s h ou ld b e requ i re d t o o b serve , d uring the spawning or b ree di ng season o f fi s h, a ll suc h l aws or pmracyserbveai t m i imposed o soefd the eon spawnth the an d English b ro o,i fishermen offish forthe in the bays and shallow waters upon our coast. To accomplish these objects, your Committee recommend that his ALjesty's Government be requested to give direc tions both to the Lords of the Admiralty awl the Com missioners of his Majesty's Customs, that all officers of customs, and of the revenue, and other cruising vessels upon the coast, may be instructed to prevent foreign fishermen from fishing within such prescribed distance of the shore; to enforce the observance of the laws and regulations before mentioned, as well by our own people as by foreigners ; and to protect the Engdsh fishermen from aggression at sea. And your Committee believe that if such ins • unctions be promptly given, and effectu dly acted upon, and the same officers be also directed to prevent the illegal importation of foreign-caught fish, as aftermentioned; An ordinance of the French Department of Marine, dated 15th of January, 1829, and now in force, has been laid before the Committee, by which the French prohibit their fishermen f rom fis hing with a certain species of net, supposed to answer to our trawl, or ground.nets, within three leagues of the shore from the 15th of April to the Ist of September, and within two l eagues from t h e Ist o f S ep t em b er t o th e 15th of April annually, which ordinance is understood to be enforczd against English fishermen also. t The Committee understand that one league from the shor e out at sea is cons id ere d t o b e th e t err it or y o f th e adjoining country, which seems to be asserted by the French and Dutch, and is acted upon by our Custom House in their grant of licenses to g o also to be the p r i nc i p l e on w hi c h our L eg i s l a t ure declares for feited any within that distance of foreign coasts. It seems foreign vessel within a league of our shore, having prohibited goods on board. (See 6 George IV., c.. 10 8, s. 5.) Whether the league is to be reckoned from the shore, or from a straight line drawn from headland to headland, appears to be doubtful. The F renc h an d D u t c h are u n derstood to claim the latter, and it would be much more beneficial to our own fitierie3 than the former. (PRICE TD.) very great and immediate relief will be afforded to out' fisheries, more patticularly upon the Kent, Sussex, and Norfolk coasts, wbi'e the London and other markets of this country will be equally well supplied with fish. Upon this latter point your Committee, having made minute inquiry, will more fully remark under the next head of observation ; namely, 2 , -.IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN-CAUGHT FISH. By the statute 1 Geo. 1., eat. 2. c. 18, 1714, entitled "An Act for better preventing fresh fish taken by foreigners being imported into this kingdom," reciting a former Act, IS Charles 11., c. 2, " against importing fish taken by foreigners," and that the same had been evaded "by the fraudulent practices of persons trading in English smacks and other vessels, who, when they are off at sea, buy great quantities of fish caught by foreigners, and import and market the same in this kingdom, to the grit discouragement and impoverishment of his Majesty's subjects, and the manifest detritnent of the fishery and navigation ;" the importation of sea -fi s h o f ever y d escr i p . Lion (except turbots and lobsters, eels, stock. fish, anchovies, sturgeon, botargo, and caveat.), " taken by, bought of, or received from foreigners, or out of foreign vessels," is prohibited under a penalty of 50/., which prohibition is also contained in the table of prohibited goods in the statute for granting the duties of customs, 6 Geo. IV., c. 107, s. 52 ; and heavy penalties and forfeiture are by the same statute and by the 6th George IV., c. 10S, imposed upon the parties, both foreigners and British subjects, who may be implicated in such transactions. Notwithstanding, however, the prohibition before. mentioned, your Committee have been much surprised to find that a very large illegal importation of foreign-caught fish does, in fact, take plice ; and from the evidence before them it appears that about one-third of the fish supplied to the London market is procured from foreigners, including in that estimate the turbots, eels, and lobsters, which may be legally imported. It is also proved to the satisfaction of your Committee, that however secretly and to a less extent this practice may have formerly been carried on, it is only within the last few years it has been practised openly, and without interruption on the part of the Government or officers of his Majesty's Customs ; and notwithstanding the fisher men upon different parts of our coast have made frequent complaints to the custom-house officer., and requested them to interfere and prevent this practice, yet, from the answers which they have generally received, namely, " that if they could prove the fish to have been purchased from foreigners, the custom house officers would then interfere," and from other information which your Com mittee have received, they have reason to believe that the general omission to enforce these laws has arisen from misapprehension of the provisions of the statutes; and they think it probable that less attention has been paid to the subject by the officers of customs on the coast, in consequence of the evasion of the laws in this particular not being attended with any loss of revenue to the State. Your Committee, however, beg to remark, that the existence of the practice has been extremely injurious to the English fishermen, not only by preventing such of them us live at a distance from London from sending their fish, as they used to do, to the London market, but also by inducing the French fishermen to remain upon the English coast, and thereby creating the destructive competition before mentioned, as applicable to the coas's of Kent and Sussex ; and that if their supplying the English markets was prevented, they would not continue upon our coast. Your Committee, therefore, strongly recommend that effectual measures be immediately taken for preventing the continuance of this system, which they are of opinion may be easily done by proper instructions being given, as before suggested, to the officers of Customs and of the Revenue, and other cruising vessels upon the coast, not to permit the transhipment of fish out of foreign fishing vessels into the carrier boats which now attend them for that purpose, nor to suffer such fish to be otherwise imported into this country ; and your Committee refer particularly to the sections 2d and sth of the statute 6 George IV., c. 108. which render forfeited any English vessel eagaged in such transhipment within four league,, of the coast between the North Foreland, in Kent, and Beachey-head, in Sussex, or within eight leagues of any other part of the coast; and also render forfeited any foreign vessel having such prohibited articles on board within one league of the coast of this kingdom, and not proceeding on her voyage; and they refer also to the pecuniary penalties imposed by other sections of the same statute, and to the powers of seizure and proceeding before magistrates, contained therein. _ _ The practice complained of appears to prevail chiefly off the mouth of the Thames, and upon the coasts of Kent and Sussex, and to operate most injuriously during the mackerel and herring seasons ; and as the latter season will commence again in the end of September or beginning of October next, your Committee desire to express their hope that the protection suggested may be afforded pre viously to the commencement of that season, and to point out its great importance in the present state of our fisheries. Upon the further question suggested by the complaint of our fishermen, that they are so much injured by the continued permission given to foreigners to import turbots free of duty, your Committee find that, by the statute before cited, 1 Geo. 1., stet. 2, c. 18. s. 10, turbots were allowed to be imported " duty free," which per mission appears to have been continued down to the pre sent time by the various statutes regulating the duties of customs. Your Committee have also felt themselves called upon to make minute inquiry, not only from the fishermen a limn they have examined, but also from London fish-salesmen, and other disinterested witnesses, in order to ascertain whether, if relief were afforded in this respect also to the English fishermen, the markets of this country would still be adequately supplied with this valued species of fish: and your Committee have to report that according to all the evidence which they have exa mined, and to which they bag particularly to refer, it has been proved not only that the English fishermen will ade quately supply the British markets with turbots, without increased prices, if foreigners are prohibited from im porting them, but that the alteration of the law in this respect will tend very materially to revive the fisheries connected with the coasts of Norfolk and Essex, and also with those of Kent and Sussex, and will be of great value to our fisheries in general. At the same time your Coo mittee would observe, that as the turbot is con sidered to be a somewhat scarce fish in the Channel, the chief supply of which appears to have been obtained for upwards of a century by this country from the Dutch, and is principally caught off the coast of Holland, though in waters which are equally open to our own fishermen, they think it would not be politic to prohibit the importa tion of turbots by foreigners until time has been afforded to enable the British fishermen to prepare for making good the decrease of supply thereby occasioned ; but that after that time the importation of foreign•caught turbots should be put under the same regulations as appiy to other prohi• bited fish. Yuur Committee also desire to state, that they are fully satisfied that the further deficiency of supply to the Lon don market, which will be occasioned by the strict en forcement of the statute, as recommended in reference to other fish at present imported contrary to law, will imme diately and without difficulty be made good by the Eng lish fishermen ; the injury resulting from the present system being principally sustained by them during the herring and mackerel seasons, and there being a sufficient number of fishermen and vessels upon our coast to catch whatever quantity of fish may be required for the supply of our markets. &fore quitting this branch of their inquiry, your Com mittee would also mention that the English fishermen are not allowed to import any description of fish into Fiance or Holland ; but they represent it would be of consider able advantage to them if, when driven into any port of these countries or of Belgium, by stress of weather or fur repairs, they were permitted to sell a sufficient portion of their fish to provide themselves with necessaries for their support, an indulgence which it appears is permitted, though perhaps without legal sanction, to the fishermen both of France and Holland, under similar circumstances, iu the ports of this country. 3.—SCARCITY OF FISH IN THE CHANNEL. It has been proved to the satisfaction of your Committee by the concurring testimony of witnesses from a'l pat is of the coast, that a very great and increasing scarcity of all fish which breed in the Corinne! (not including mackerel or herrings, which are fish of passage), compared with what was the ordinary supp!) , from 15 to 20 years ago, has long prevailed; and that, operating prejudicially to the fishermen, at the same time that a continued fall of prices has taken place In the markets, it is perhaps the principal cause of their distress. Now , it has been strongly pressed upon the attention of r o . r your mitteek has been satisfactorily proved, that this scarcity• of filth- bar - been occasioned 47 the great destruction of the spawn and brood of fish, con sequent upon the non-observance of the lawi which• at Present exist for their preservation, and by which the fish. ing with ground or drag-nets within a certain distance of the shore during particular sewn., or with drift or float ing nets at all seasons of the year, having the mesh of the net under certain dimensions, has been declared unlawful : and your Committee are of opinion that such laws have not been enforced solely by reason of the insufficient pro. visions which they contain for giving effect to their enactments, and for want of proper officers being locally appointed as conservators, or inspectors, to enforce them. The statutes in question are the 3 James 1., c. 12 (anno 1605), entitled " An Act for the better preservation of sea fi.h," which, reciting that "forasmuch as it is cer tainly known that the brood of sea fish is spawned and Beth in still waters, where it may have rest and receive nourishment to grow to perfection, and that those who use draw nets, nets with canvass, or engines in the midst of them, do, every day they fish, destroy the brood of all sorts of fish in great multitudes," provides (sec. 2) that " Every person who shall fish in any haven, harbour, creek, or within five miles of the mouth of any haven, harbour, or creek, with any draw net or drag net under three inches mesh—viz., one inch and a half from knot to knot, or with any net with canvass, or other engine or device whereby the spawn, fry, or brood of sea fish may be de stroyed, shall forfeit such net and also 105.," to be reco vered as therein mentioned ; but permitting by another clause the taking of herrings, pilchards, sprats, or lavi daian, with nets of a lesser mesh. The 14th Charles IL, C. 28 (1662), " for regulating the pilchard fishery in the counties of Devon and Corn wall," enacts (sect. 2), " That from the Ist of June to the 30th of November in every year no person shall take fish in the high sea, or in any bay, port, creek, or coast of or belonging to Cornwall or Devon, ivith any drift net, trammel or stream-net or nets, or other nets of that sort, unless at the distance of one league and a half from the shore," under the penalty of forfeiting the nets, or their value ; and one month's imprisonment of the of fender. The 1 George 1., stat. 2, c. 18, (1714), entitled, "An Act for the better preventing fresh fish taken by foreigners being imported into this kingdom, and for the better pre servation of the fish, Sm.," which, after prohibiting the importation and sale in England of fish taken by or re• ceived from foreigners, as before cited, providta (sect. 4), ' 6 That the meshes of nets used at sea upon the coast of England (except for herrings, pilchards, sprats, or lavi daian), shall not be less than three inches and a half from knot to knot," under the penalty of forfeiture of the nets, and of 201., with power of imprisoning the offender. And by the same statute (sect. 7,) provision is made for preventing the sale of fish under certain specified sizes, under a penalty to be recovered before one justice. And the 331 Gen. 11., c. 27, (1759), entitled " An Act (among other things) to punish persons who shall take or sell any spawn, brood, or fry of fish, &c." which provides (sect. 13), "That no person shall kill or destroy or knowingly have in his or her possession, either on the water or on shore, or shall bring to shore, or offer for sale or exchange, any spawn, fry, or brood of fish, or any tin ' sizeable fish, or fish out of season," under the penalty of 20s. and forfeiture of the baskets or other packages ire which the spawn or fish shall be contained. These statutes, it itthe opinion of your Committee, should be revised : and; that a Bill repealing such of the provisions before-mentioned as do not relate exclusively to the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, and enacting others in lieu of them, with better remedies for their observance, should be introduced in the next session of Parliament; and your Committee deem it essentially necessary for pre serving the spawn and brood of fish, that by such Bill the use of trawl or drag-nets in the bays within one league from low-water mark, or in less than 10 fathoms' water, should be prohibited during the months of May, June, July, and August,' in every year, the same being the spawning or breeding season of the fish, and before their young broad become of sufficient size to take refuge in deeper waters; it being of the utmost importance that during this period the spawn and young bro td should not he destroyed or taken by nets which drag upon the ground, dthough the fish may at the same time, and in the same waters, be taken with floating ordrift-nets of a proper siz_el mesh. And it also appears to your Committee, that con servators or overseers should be appointed for the purpose of enforcing the Act. Upon this part of the subject your Committee would also observe, that from the evidence adduced before them, they h tve reason to believe that it would still further tend to increase materially the breed and supply of sea fish in the Channel if the above period of restriction were ex tended to the end of September or October, or even later, until the young fish, as the cold weather rapproacheQ, retire from the shallows and breeding grounds in the bays into deeper water: but your Committee having regard to the other means of occupation for fishermen during this period of restriction, do not think it prudent, at least in the first instance, that the present practice of trawling in the bays should be prevented beyond the time which they before recommended ; more particularly because the fisher men have comparatively little emp'oyenent in the month of September, which intervenes between the mackerel and herring seasons; but your Committee desire to state that it has been proved to their s itisfaction that the same boats may be beneficially employed in the deeper waters beyond the prescribed limits during the period which they recom mend for restriction ; and that whatever lass, if any, may be sustained in that period, will be abundantly compen sated by the increased quantity of fish preserved. In support of this opinion your Committee would also refer to the report and evidence taken before a Select Committee of this House in the year 1817,f appointed to inquire into the state and condition of the fisheries on the south coast of Devon, from which evidence it appears that in the year 1816 the trawl fishermen in the several bays on the coast of Devon, acting under the advice of the Hon. Mr. Vernon (now Lord Vernon), who then resided in that neighbourhood, tried the experiment, by mutual consent, of preserving their breeding_orounds in chose bays undisturbed from the Ist of July to the 20th of September in that year, the consequence of which was a greater abundance of fight in the ensuing season than had ever before been known upon that coast, and the fishermen were desirous that the restraint which they had thus voluntarily imposed upon their fishing should in future be enforeedb By the report of the Committee it also appears that " they considered it had been clearly made out, that although in the reign of James I. the attention of the legislature was particularly drawn to the preservation of the spawn of sea fish, and attempts had since been made by' subsequent enactments to preserve the fisheries on our coast, yet that much was still left to be done ;" ' and accordingly, in the year 1819, in furtherance o the views taken by this Committee a Bill was brought into this House " to prevent the destruction of the brood; and spawn of fish," by which Bill it was proposed that the justices in quarter sessions, in every county, should appoint conservators or overseers of the bays, creeks, an 4 arms of the sea, for the preservation of fish con4ng there to spawn, and of their brood or try, and generally for enforcing the Act ; and that they should also appoint fence days, or times for preventing fishing with trawls or drag-nets in such bays or creeks; and it was further proposed by the Bill to regulate the size of nets, and fish for sale, and to inflict penalties for injuries done to, fishing-boats and nets at set, with summary remedies by. proceeding before a magistrate. In the Committee on this Bill other clauses were added, limitieg its application, to within one league and a half at sea, and to restrain, it from affecting the fisheries in any arm of the sea, esNarv, or river, or interfering with private or corporate rights, This Bill, however, was lost in this House upon the third reading; but again in the session of 1822 was brought forward in precisely the same form and passed this House, but was afterwards lost in the House of Loma in consequence only, as your Committee are informA of the late period of the session at which it was introduced ;, and since that time no further attention appears to have been paid to this subject, but the evils which were then so much complained of have continued unredressed and in- creasing. Your Committee would also refer, in further confirma tion of their opinion, to the extract from a manuscript treatise on the state of the Cannel fisherie , , by James Cor nish, Rol., one of the witnesses examined, and to the letters of that gentleman and the Hon. George Vernon, all which are appended to this report. By such legislative provisions as kfore suggested, and by their enfocement by the officers of customs, and of the revenue and Government cruising vessels up on _ the coasr , your Committee are of opinion that an effectual remedy wi'l he applied to the evil complained of, and a more abundant supply of fish speedily secured; but in reference also to this part of the subject, they wish to notice, - - - * From the French ordinance before cited, it appears that they protect their bays and breeding-grounds from the 15th of April to the Ist of September yearly .
