ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE BRITISH , FISHERIES COMMISSIONERS. The annual reports of the British Fisheries Commissioners are seldom destitute of general in terest. Even in the most sleepy times of peace, the condition of this branch of industry is felt to be of greater importance than is implied in the mere commercial value of its produce; for, in the hardy race which earns its livelihood off the weather-beaten coasts of the Orkneys and Shetlands the nation expects to find many a supporter of its naval supremacy. But when, after forty years of repose, our fleets are once more sent forth against an enemy, the yearly account of this little mari time nursery of ours will naturally be read with more than ordinary interest. And it is agreeable to learn that it is in a healthy and flourishing state. From the report for 1853, which is confined to the fishing stations of Scotland and the Isle of Man, it appears that upwards of 70,000 persons were em ployed during the past year in the herring, cod, and ling fisheries. Of these, some 29,000 were engaged in curing and packing the fish, while the remainder-41,000 men and boys—manned the 11,000 boats in which they were caught. The ton nage of the fishing boats amounted to 74,700 tons, and, for the benefit of those who delight in statis tics, we may add that the number of square yards of netting was 82,000,000, and the number of linear yards of fishing line exceeded 2 9,000,000. Most of these figures, it is true, show a slight de crease upon those of the preceding year. The total number of persons employed, indeed, is larger by 84 than it was in the preceding year, but the num ber of fishermen has decreased by 142, and that of the boats by 36. The tonnage of the latter, also, is less than it was in 1852 by some 1,500 tons, and the netting has diminished by a couple of million o f square yards, as well as the fishing lines by half a million of linear ones. With respect to the men, the attractions of the golden shores of the Antipodes account in some measure for the di minution of their numbers. It is said that many of them have emigrated to Australia, not for the purpose of digging for gold, but with the view of supplying the fresh-water " navigators" who fol low that pursuit with the fish that abounds in the Australian waters. The reduction in the number of boats and implements used for fishing is a natural concomitant of that of the persons engaged in the business ; but here the diminution in quantity is compensated by improvement in quality. The value of the vessels and other articles used last year shows an increase of 11,0001. over the pre ceding year. Such having been the personnel and the materiel of our northern fisheries in 1853, let us see what sport our Celtic and Scandinavian countrymen had on,those tempestuous seas which wash the northern extremity of this island. The Commissioners in form us that the catch of herrings in 1853 nearly equalled " the great fishing of 1849," the highest hitherto reached. The number of barrels in the one year was 942,000, and in the other 908,000. The quantities cured,however, as well as those exported, were greater in 1853 than in 1849 ; the total number cured in the earlier year—including the produce of some English stations—being 770,000 barrels,while in 1853 it exceeded, in Scotland and the Isle of Man alone, 778,000 barrels. The exports were 340,000 barrels in the former, and nearly 343,000 in the latter year. This, the Commissioners ob serve, is the largest exportation ever made by Great Britain. Compared with the figures furnished by the precedinc , year, the results of last year's fishing appear to still greater advantage. Not only did the number of barrels cured, branded, and ex ported in 1853 considerably exceed that of 1852, but the gross catch was greater by one-third —the excess in 1853 amounting to upwards of 300,000 barrels. The account of the cod and ling fishery is also satisfactory. Although described as of a much more stationary character than the herring fishery, it may fairly claim to be called progres sive, since the quantity cured and dried last year was the greatest on record. _ The history of the Scotch herring fishery has, for a century past, furnished many a useful hint to the science of political economy. Adam Smith complained that the statesmen of his day had de stroyed the boat fisheries of the country by a per nicious system of bounties. The bounty being measured by the tonnage of the vessel employed, and not by the quantity of fish taken, " busses" or decked vessels of from twenty to eighty tons burden were equipped for the herring fishery, and backed by the Government bounty easily undersold the boat fishermen. One consequence of this system was, that "the boat fishery, which before the esta blishment of the buss bounty was very considerable, and is said to have employed a nnan.berof seamen not inferior to what the buss fishery' employed in the time of Adam Smith, had then "gone alniost en tirely to decay." Another result was, that vessels were sometimes fitted out " for the solo purpose of catching, not the fish, but the bounty ;" and to such a pitch was this abuse carried, that a ton nage bounty of 501. was found to be equivalent to the almost incredible sum of 1591. upon each barrel of merchantable herrings actually caught. A third consequence—less strange, indeed, to us than to a generation unfamiliar with the leading truths of economical science—was that the " buss" fishery, notwithstanding the enormous bribe thus paid for the encouragement of it, gradually declined. In 1803, it had sunk to a very low ebb. "It seems," says the author of an essay quoted by the Commis sioners, " more than ever to have got out of our hands, and to be on the eve of its final departure from Britain." It was, in truth, as the Commis sioners observe, " in a state of inanition, and at the point of extinction." Its impending fate at last called the attention of Parliament to the impo hey, if not of bounties in general, at least of the principle on which the one in question was dispensed. Accordingly, in 1809, the bounty was regulated, no longer by the tonnage of the vessel, but by the quantity of fish caught. Two shillings per barrel were paid un til 1815 , w h en the bounty was doubled. This lasted until 1826, about which time it was reduced to one shilling, and in 1830 it was finally abolished. The alteration of the system proved quickly beneficial, and the subsequent reductions and final repeal of the bounty were followed by similar results. The quantity of herrings now taken is eight times, and the quantity exported ten times, greater than it was in 1809 ; while both the catch and the export are at least twice as large as they were between 1815 and 1830. Last year, the number of barrels of herrings exported " exceeded," says the Com missioners, "by nearly 48,000 barrels the greatest export of those years when there was a bounty of 4s. per barrel, and when there was a large West India market, now nearly extinct." The gain, however, as well as the loss of markets must be included among the vicissitudes of the herring fishery, and the Commissioners mention a recent acquisition of this kind which should not be passed over. The supply of 1849 appears to have so considerably exceeded the ordinary de mand that the superfluous fish were carried in large quantities to the Baltic ports, from which they penetrated into Polish Prussia, where Scotch herrings had before been unknown. Their low price 1 at once procured them customers, who found them so superior in cure and flavour to the " coarse Nor wegian herrings," to which they had been accus tomed, that the demand for them has continued down to the present time. Much improvement, however, both in the means of communication and in the commercial policy of Continental nations, ( will be needed before our fishermen can obtain any great extension of their markets. They have still to struggle against the hostile tariffs of an ignorant and selfish Statecraft, and until these s h a ll have b een remodelled by common sense and sound S cience/ they have but little pr os p ec t o f a ddi ng largely to t to he number of their c us t omers. It is not be expected th a t a body .of 40,000 men, pursuing in 10,000 boats a common prey, should n o t occasionally substitute th e pr i mitive "law of the stronge s t" in a for th e more art i ficial polity which pre well-ordered communities. sEaraveenvillaamogneg tibteie notti s of the same county or the natives ea the supremacy of but the difficulty of insuringalways easy to avoid strife ; much " law and order" is different blood and different languageilced when men of collision.

It is to be hoped that the ties of cordial friendship which now happily unite the two nations will improve the state of feeling between the fisher men of both, or that these men will, at all events, learn from experience the lesson which the Com missioners would inculcate, that " the best po licy for both is - forbearance." Disputes be tween our own fishermen and the masters of the fishing-vessels appear by no moans unfrequent. They are attributed very much to the practice of solemnising their bargains, not with the Norman seal, nor yet with the Anglo-Saxon • signature, but with the Scandinavian or Celtic libation of whisky, "by which," quently happens that neither Commissioners, "it fre well what was intended or w h a t was se ttl e d, and hence angry quarrels the disputants refer their ellsue."

When you came out of the hospital, were you not again under Dr. Pennington ?—Yes, three weeks more. After you came out of the hospital were you not sent into the country I—Yes, I was sent over into New Brighton. How long were you there ?—Eight days. Who paid the doctor's bill ?—I do not know—l did not pay. Who paid your lodgings at New Brighton ?—The ser vant of Madame Anni gave the money. How much was it ?—One pound. Madame Anni was away five weeks before you left ? Yes. _ _ _ CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. Abraham, Belasco, proprietor of the Gun and Star, Petticoat-lane, was summoned for unlawfully opening his house for the sale of malt liquors before the hour of one o'clock, on Sunday, the 20th of August. Constable 630, said it was the practice of defendant to open his house during the hours he was required to be closed, and his brother was placed at the door as touter, and to look out for the police. Last Sunday week he entered the house in plain clothes with about a dozen persons, at half-past eleven o'clock, and, on getting up stairs, he saw about 150 persons from that time till twelve o'clock see red with beer, at three half-pence per glass. The defendant's brother attended for him, and said he was very sorry, but the fact was, as the officer was in plain clothes, he thought he was a traveller. Alderman Muggeridge said that such an excuse would not apply to the 150 persons served, and as the defend ant had been convicted four times previously of similar offences, he should inflict a penalty of 51. The fine was paid. _ Did you not leave her house the night she returned home? —No. On what night did you leave ?—On Sunday night last. On what night did Madame Anni return home ?—On the night before. When she did return had you not three men in the house with you ?—Yes. Had you not a considerable quantity of clothes belong ing to Madame Anni packed up to remove 1-1 deny that. The linen was packed up in the portmanteau, but no dresses. I was obliged to keep it packed, for there was no keeping anything on account of the girls. Did you buy any new clothes before coming to Eng land ?—I got three dresses from Madame Anni alto gether. LAMBETH.—Joseph Hart, aged 22, a potman at the Duke of Suffolk public-house, in Brandon-street, Wal worth, was charged with attempting to strangle Eliza beth Bird ; also attempting to commit suicide by hanging himself in the skittle-ground belonging to his master. Elizabeth Bird, a good-looking young woman, de posed that for 3 years she had been servant of all work at the Duke of Suffolk public-house, in Brandon. street, Walworth, and for the last 3 or 4 months the prisoner 'was her fellow-servant as potman. On the evening be fore, at about half-past 4 o'clock, in passing through the kitchen, the prisoner caught hold of her by the throat, held her for 5 minutes so tight that he would have strangled her had not the barmaid come to her assist ance. When he let her go she was so exhausted that she sank into the chair. Witness subsequently saw the prisoner go into the skittle- groun d w i t h t h e rope w hi c h he used in collecting his pots in his hand, and suspecting that his intention was that of destroying himself, she begged the barmaid would look after him. In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, the witness said the prisoner had paid her no more attentions than one fellow-servant might to another, and she could not account for his conduct in any other way than that he was very tipsy at the time. The witness, who was evidently most reluctant to state anything likely to press against the prisoner, begged that the magistrate would be lenient to and not punish him. Louisa Thomason, the barmaid, said that on the even ing before she went into the kitchen to look for the pri soner and request him to clean down the bar, and as she entered it she found the prisoner grasping the throat of the last witness. Her first impression was that the pri soner was acting in fun, but observing that he continued to grasp her throat in the same way she rushed towards him and with some difficulty released Bird from his grasp. The young woman, she perceived, was at the time very much exhausted and sank into a chair. Mr. Norton—Did you observe whether she was black in the face ? Did you ever pay for them ?—She had the money I received from gentlemen. What amount of money did you pay her ?—Some times I paid per a pound, and sometimes 10s. Mr. Wybergh— Did you ever receive an account ? Mr. Holme—Or did Madame Anni keep a copy of the account. Did you ever see the account ? -She took the money for the dresses, though I keep no account. Did you pay Madame Anni anything after you re turned home ?—I did not. Did you pay anything for upwards of six weeks e fore ?—Yes ; I paid it to the servant. Is the servant here ?—I do not know. Mr. Holme—Who brought you from Hamburg to Madame Anni's ?—I was taken on board a ship at Hamburg by a man named (the reporter could not catch the name), and was sent here to Madame Anni's. Mr. Blackhurst—What did you tlo in Hamburg before you came to Madame Amu's. Were you not in a bad house before ?—Yes. Who was the person you had here yesterday ? [The witness here pointed out a young man, who was then desired to step forward, which he did.] Who is he ?—He is the young man who brought me out of the house of Madame Anni. Is this his card ?—Yes it is ; he is called Branger. The card was then put in. It was as follows :—" C. Gervene and Co., riding academy for ladies, gentlemen, and children. Teachers in horsemanship. Horse break ing instructed. 34, Great George-street. Hours from 12 to 3 in the afternoon, and from 5 to 7 in the evening. Riding ground, Greenland-street, Liverpool. Presented through ." Mr. Wybergh—Are you any relation to him ?—No, sir. Witness—No, sir ; but I think that i n a f ew m i nu t es she must have been, and that it was lucky I went into the kitchen just as I did. Witness added that some time after the young woman came to her and begged she would go to the skittle-ground, as she very much feared the prisoner would hang himself, and witness, in conse quence, proceeded to the skittle-ground, fortunately taking with her a knife. On entering the skittle-ground she saw the prisoner suspended from a beam by the rope she had before mentioned, and instantly cut him down. He appeared insensible, and the part of the cord round the neck was so tightly on, that she was obliged to cut it also. She then sprinkled his face with cold water, and he soon exhibited signs of restoring animation. Mr. Norton complimented this witness upon the pre sence of mind, courage, and promptness with which she acted on the occasion. Mr. Blackhurst—Now, did he not take you away from Madame Anni's for the purpose of living with him ?—He wanted to see me borne. Mr. Wybergh—But what can the meaning of this be ? Mr. Blackhurst—You will see by the newspapers that it is stated he is her brother. This will test her credit. Mr. Wybergh—The question is that of detaining her clothes. Mr. Blackhurst—Exactly; but as she has stated this is her brother, and now she denies it, that will test her cred it. Mr. Wybergh—When you went away how many others were in the house ? There were seven—now five. Mr. Blackhtirst—Was not this young man with you every day while Madame Anni was away ? Not every day. How often then ?—Two or three times. Mr. Holme—Was he in the habit of staying there at night ?—No, sir. Did he ever give you any money ? No, sir. Mr. Blackhurst —Now, what is the value of the dresses ? Mrs. Mary Meadows, the landlady of the public house, said the prisoner, while in the service of herself and her husband, had conducted himself with propriety, and was an excellent servant in his situation. The young woman Bird had also been unexceptionable in her conduct ; but no doubt could exist that the prisoner was attached to her, though she did not encourage him in it, as she had a young man who was paying her at tentions, and that this had something to do with the matter, which occurred in her (witness's) absence. Mr. Norton here remarked that it was quite clear the young woman had not spoken the whole truth, and de sired her to go into the witness-box again. She did so, and said—" She never considered that the prisoner se riously intended any affection for her, as he had fre quently drunk with and had been on the most friendly terms with her young man." Mr. Wybergh—Just give us the value of each article. Three dresses at 21. each ; one dress at U. 10s. ; an other, 11.; another, 10s. ; two velvet mantles, 3/. ; a blue cashmere mantle, 2/. 10s.; a small brown mantle, 2/. ; and another mantle, 1/. Mr. Wybergh—Let me see ; that is 17/. 10s. ; there fore, the case is out of our jurisdiction. Mr. Blackhurst—We are desirous of giving every in formation. lam not here to justify a house of this description, but you will presently see why she came to the house and and what was the cause of her being turned out. Mr. Wybergh—The goods claimed by the Police Act ought not to exceed 151. for the magistrates to have jurisdiction ; now it appears, according to her own showing, that they amount to 171. 10s., and her proper remedy must be in the county court. Mr. NortonL - Wha is the young man of yours ? Witness—A carman and nightman, your worship. (A laugh) . . _ The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he could not account for his conduct in any other way than that he had been drinking rum all day with a young man who was going to sea, and he was truly sorry for what he had done. Mr.' Blackhurst—No result can follow the examina tion ; still lam willing that any of the officers of the police should go to the house and inquire if there is any thing in it belonging to the girl, and if there is, it shall be given up. Mr. Wybergh—As far as this summons is concerned there is no case. Mr. Blackhurst—Notwithstanding that, I have no objection to the superintendent of police making all in quiries, and all that belong to the girl shall be handed over. She has been nearly two-thirds of the time in the hands of a doctor since she has come to this country. Mr. Holme—Whatever may be the case with reference to public morality, we can only say, this is a summons for detaining clothes ; and it appears, from the evidence of the girl herself, that it is beyond the jurisdiction of the bench, and the only remedy is in the county court. Mr. Blackhurst—Still, if the magistrates have juris diction, we are quite willing to make the fullest inves tigation. The magistrate, on his solemn promise not to repeat the offence, consented to the prisoner's disch arge , an d told him he owed his existence to the presence of mind of the young woman Thomason, for had she had to return for a knife, and not taken one with her to the skittle-ground, no power could have saved his life. The - prisoner, who seemed very penitent, was then discharged. ABDUCTION OF YOUNG GIRLS. Amu: Rosenberg, a procurers of considerable notoriety in Liverpool, but better known as "Madame Anni," on Friday morning appeared before the sitting magi strates, at Liverpool, in obedience to a summons, which charged her with the illegal detention of 151. worth of wearing apparel belonging to a young. woman named Anna Margarita 'lesser, a native of Hamburg. Mr. Blackhurst appeared for madame. Mr. Smith—She has sworn that the property is worth 171. 10s. We can only go as far as 151., so that she must deal with Madame Anni by civil action. I think (to Mr. Blackhurst) you said sho was turned out ? It appeared that the young woman, who is a tolerably pretty girl, but not possessed of any particularly attrac tive features, had been the manager of a large commercial hotel, in Frankfort-on-the-Maine, where a "gentleman" called in the beginning of the present year, and, represent ing himself as a commercial traveller, offered to get her a much better situation than that which she then occu pied in Hamburg. The offer was also made to another young female of great respectability, and after some con sideration they consented to accompany him. When they arrived at Hamburg, however, the friend who had decoyed her from her home and her friends took her to' a house of ill-fame. Here the applicant soon became aware of the position she was in, and her virtuous in dignation has aroused at the treacherous means which had been employed for her seduction. She accordingly wrote to her friends in Hamburg, telling them of what had occurred, and requesting their assistance. They in stantly replied, but the letters were intercepted by the mistress of the house, who, upon finding that steps were about to be taken to release her victim, determined to foil the efforts which might be made for that purpose by shipping her off to England. With this end in view she told the applicant that her friends, upon learning the course she had taken upon her arrival at Hamburg, had forsaken her, and were not disposed to render her any asssistance whatever. The woman then said she had a highly respectable friend in England, with whom she could get a situation ; and though the poor girl stoutly persisted against such a proceeding, she was immediately shipped off to Liverpool. The proceedings which took place this morning fully explain her position since that time. Mr. Blackhurst—When Madame Anni returned from Germany she found three men in the house with this fe male, and when she found out what was going on in the house the girl asked to go out, and she. never returned since. Mr. liolme—One can only lament such a state of things as this, that there should be foreigners in the town bringing girls from abroad. The whole matter is a highly disreputable transaction from beginning to end. Mr. Blackhurst—l am not here for a moment to jus tify it. Mr. Smith—ls the other girl (one by the side of Madame Anni, and exceedingly pretty) a German too ? —Yes, sir. Mr. Blackhurst—Did you not give this girl (by the side of Madame Anni) this bracelet ?—No, I lent it her. [lt was a hair bracelet, neatly mounted. Mr. Black hurst immediately handed it back to the witness, Hessen] Mr. Blackhurst—She was at perfect liberty to go out at any time she pleased. Mr. Wybergh—We cannot go any further. She must bring an action in trover in the county court. Mr. Smith—Well, the case must be dismissed. The parties then left the court, the clothes which had been produced being previously given to Hesser.— Liverpool Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF WIGAN.—On Friday evening no gentleman had really offered himself as a candidate to supply the vacancy in the representation of the borough of Wigan, although ten days had elapsed since the death of Mr. Thicknesse became known in the town. The gentlemen whose names ase mentioned are the same as a week ago, namely, Mr. Joseph Acton, mayor ; Mr. Henry Woods, coal proprietor and cotton manufacturer, both Liberals ; and Mr. Francis Sharpe Powell, bar rister at-law. Mr. Acton was chairman of Mr. Thick nesse's committee at the last election, and his proposer on the hustings, and he appears to be regarded now as the foremost man of the Liberal party. Mr. Woods is a young man, but his claim is grounded on the fact that at the last election a requisition, signed by numbers of voters (chiefly Roman Catholics, displeased at Mr. Thick nesse's vote in favour of the Ecclesiastical Title Bill), was presented to him, and he was only induced to decline becoming a candidate lest his offering might prove an obstacle in the way of Mr. Thicknesse's return. Mr. Powell, who is a young man, and recently called to the bar, is a Conservative, and offered at the last election, but was defeated. As the Conservatives are now ilia minority, and Mr. Powell is not regarded in favour by many of them, it is not expected that he will offer unless there is a division in the Liberal party. Up to yes terday morning about 150 voters had signed the requisi tion to Mr. Acton, and 40 others had promised to vote for him in the event of a contest. The constituency numbers about 750 electors. Mr. Woods is expected to return from the continent tomorrow. No committee has been formed to promote his election, and some of the friends of Mr. Acton purpose waiting upon him to induce him to withdraw, and prevent disunion in the ranks of the Liberal party. Mr. Leo D. Sternfeld, a German, was sworn as inter preter, and the following are exactly the procee_dings which took place. Mr. Wybergb, magistrates' clerk—Are you a ingle woman ? Yes, sir. When did you come to this country ?—About six months ago. Did you then go to the house of the defendant ?—Yes, sir. What clothes did you take with you there ?—Four dresses and some other things—some mantles and one bonnet. _ Mr. 113,ckhurst—At this stage of the proceedings we might as well produce the clothes, as what belongs to her is in court. Mr. Smith—Are you willing to deliver them up ? Mr. Blackhurst—Oh, yes ; we never refused to do it. Mr. Wybergh—What, the four dresses, one bonnet, and the under clothes. Have you those clothes here ? Madame Anni—This is one of the dresses she speaks of. I have no others, and one she has on. Witness--Yes, that is one. Defendant—That is all she brought. The jacket be longing to this dress she has on. Mr. Wybergh—Are all these the things you brought with you ?—Witness—No, sir, they are not all, I brought three dresses more. Mr. Wybergh—What are the things which you now claim not produced, but which you say you brought with you ? Mr. Smith (to the interpreter)—Ask her what she is short of ; let her see if tany of the things are not there ? Witness—There is a rose-coloured jaconet dress, a port manteau full of linen, and a grey mantle. Mr. Wy bergh—How long did you stay in the de fendant's house 9—Six months, I think. Did you pay anything there 9—Yes ; a pound a week. Regularly ?—Madame took it from my money. Have you been anywhere else ?—Yes ; in hospital. How long were you there ?—Five weeks. How soon after you came to this country did you go into the hospital ?—I cannot recollect exactly. Mr. Blapkhurst—Just ask her if she did not go back to Madame Anni's after she came out of the hospital ? Mr. Wybergh—ls that sot—. Yes, sir. When did you leave !—On Sunday night last. Did you owe her anything 9---4 do not know ; she said I owed her 471. Is that correct 9—Yes'; I think I owe her some money, but I don't know how much. Has Madame Anni presented you with any account ? —She said it was in a book, but presented no account. Mr. Smith—Did you pay what you got to Madame Anni 9—Yes. Mr. Wybergh—Was there any agreement made with Madame Anni 9—No, sir. Mr. Smith—Then how do you know you had to p a y 1/. a week ?—Madame Anni told me so. Mr. Holme—Are we to understand that you handed over all the money you received to Madame Anni ? Yei, sir. Mr. Smith—Did Madame Anni enter that in a book? —Yes, sir. Mr. Holme—Who kept that book 9—Madame Anni. Mr. Wybergh—Has Madame Anal ever lent you any money ?—Yes. Mr. Elackhurst—How long were you at Madame Anni's before you were taken unwell 9—Eight weeks. Were you under Dr. Pennington before you went into the infirmary I—Yes, for three wooko.

It is seldom that objection is made to the decision, or that it is not abided by. Where this happens, parties can have recourse to law. In an instance of dissatis faction of this kind, the expense to the fishermen of going before the sheriff was 201., besides the loss of all their time, when a second dispute arose how the 201. was to be divided and paid for among the boat's crew concerned. Great was the regret among them, when too late, that they had not kept their disputes to themselves as others had done, and been content with the decision on board the cutter."—Morning Chronicle. THE NEW DAVIS STRAITS' FISHERY. The successful voyage of the Lady Franklin promises to introduce a new era in the history of our Davis Straits' whale fishery. Captain Penny has shown how the whales of the Arctic regions may be followed up, and the treasures of the frozen ocean turned to good account. And this discovery is no less opportune than it is impor tant. The oleaginous products of Russia are not legiti mately at command, and this stoppage of our usual sup plies of oils and other fatty substances has come on us at a time when science and art, in their endless variety of applications, have made them more than ever neces sary for manufacturing and commercial purposes, both on sea and land. Add to this, the failure, year after year, in the ordinary fisheries f Davis Straits, and to some extent also in the South Seas, and the value of the new enterprise becomes strikingly apparent. In these circumstances, it is our purpose to set before our readers as full a statement of the facts of the enter prise as can well be obtained, and to urge the commer cial world to give them a careful consideration. So far back as the year 1839, Captain Penny published his views on the subject of a resident whale fishery in Davis Straits. In the ordinary pursuit of his calling, as commander of one of the Aberdeen whalers, he came to learn from his intercourse with the Esquimaux on the west land, that a large number of whales sought the bays and inlets for shelter during the winter season. From one tribe in particular he gathered such informa tion as enabled him to draw out a chart of one of their most common resorts, and, on his return, he brought with him an intelligent Esquimaux, with the view of having him educated and employed as a pilot in the fol lowing season. His owners, however, did not sympa thise with his project so heartily as he had expected, and hence, although he was able to fish to some advantage in the new Strait, he was not permitted to push the en terprise beyond a safe distance, lest he should get his ship fixed in the ice for the winter. Captain Penny's subsequent connexion with Captain Austin's expedition in search of Sir John Franklin in terrupted his labours in the direction of a new fishery ; but on his return to England he resumed them, and projected a company with a capital of 100,0001., to carry out his views. He proposed to get a charter, like that of the Hudson Bay Company, and to establish fishings at various points along the shores of the best land, near the haunts of the whale. The application for a charter was successfully opposed, on the ground that it would interfere with the claims of private enterprise. Meanwhile, two vessels were fitted out at Hull for a winter residence and spring fishery in the newly disco vered Strait, but the project was rashly undertaken and failed. Capt. Penny, however, succeeded in getting his company formed as a private enterprise, to an extent which enabled him to purchase the two vessels with which he had been engaged in the Arctic search, and to fit them up with tanks and apparatus suitable for a fishery in autumn and spring. He had iron tanks made to fit the vessels, and so arranged that the oil, when boiled, could be conveyed by gutta percha and other pipes to every tank in the hold. He had also a supply of coals and good boilers, it being hi s i n t en ti on t o b o il th e oil on land in his winter quarters. The ships were also fully provisioned, the store being of the best description, and such as from large experience had been found con ducive to health and comfort in the Arctic regions. Thus equipped the two vessels, manned by 33 men and three boys, left Aberdeen on the 13th of August last year. The w ea th er was s t ormy w h en th ey reached the Danish settlement of Lechterfells, which prevented Captain Pe nn y f rom ge tti ng one o f Moravian Mis sionaries whom he meant to engage for the spiritual benefit of the Esquimaux lie proposed to employ in the work of the fishery. On the 17th of September the ships reached New Aktelek. Here they found abun dance of whales, and set to work to kill at once, notwithstanding the ice would not permit of getting the ships forward to winter-quarters. From the 20th of September until the Ist of November, they killed 10 large whales, and were obliged to stow them away chiefly on the decks of the vessels, as they best could manage. On the deck of the Lady Franklin there were four and a half whales, besidefi the bone of all the whales killed. On the 3d of November Captain Penny got to the shelter of art inland in Hogarth's Sound, which he had chosen as winter quarters. Here he found the remains of a boiling-house, which had been erected by the Hull Company, but which had been dismantled by some American whalers who bad been disappointed in their expectations. He rebuilt the place, and located there 30, out of 50 Esquimax, he had engaged at Aktelek to assist in the spring fishery, the remaining 20 being located nearer to the fishing grounds. Having snugged the ships, and seen the Esquimaux comfort ably settled in their snow huts, the process of boiling the oil was carried on during the winter months, and it was most successful. The glass was at times 40 degrees below zero while they were engaged at this work, yet none of them were injured, and all of them enjoyed the best of health. The active duties in which they were employed kept them always hearty, and no one felt the time to linger on his hand. During the week they were thus at work, and on Sunday they had rest and religious service the same as at home. In the course of the win ter they boiled 165 boilers full of oil. But - a season of great alarm was now experienced. The cholera, which had made its appearance in the south of the inlet, now made a complete circuit of the island, and was awfully fatal. It began amon g Captain Penny's Esqui maux with one of the chiefs. Stimulants were ad ministered by Captain Penny and the surgeon of the Lady Franklin, but without effect. The chief died, and seven others, includingbis brother, his mother, his wife, and children, all fell victims to the scourge. The sani tary state of the patients was most deplorable. Every thing was done which could be done by Captain Penny and his men to save the poor creatures, but they died almost like sheep in the rot. To get into one tent, Cap tain Penny had to cut an entrance on the wind side, and on carrying out the bodies to bury them, •he found a child of three years old yet alive, and clinging to the dead body of its grandmother. He took the child away, and had it cared for until it got better, and it is now in the Sophia at the fishing ground. From hut to hut the pestilence spread, the living flying from the dead without any compunction of feeling, husbands leaving their wives, parents their children, and children their parents, to perish. All this time Captain Penny and his crew were unceasing in their endeavours to check the disease, and while they were at length successful, it was their happiness to realise a perfect immunity from the scourge themselves. Diarrhcea, in some cases, ap peared, but, by the timely application of proper medi cine, the disease was checked. All the bodies were buried on the land or in the sea, by letting them down through the ice ; and by spring time all was well. The preparations for the spring fishing being made, Captain Penny found that whales were plentiful be yond the edge of the ice, but the distance being above twenty miles from the ship, his men were at first un willing to enter on the fishery. They were at length induced to undertake it, and the Esquimaux were all in readiness to carry the blubber over the ice in their sledges to the boiling-house on the island. The fish ing then commenced, and 17 whales were killed and sledged in this way ; the Esquimaux with their dogs were indefatigable ; they travelled over the ice with nearly 50 sledges, a distance on the whole (counting the drive out and in from the boats to the ship nearly 50 miles) of 14,000 miles l , Having thus killed as many whales as the Lady Franklin could boil, Captain Penny left for Aberdeen, intrusting the remainder of the fishing to the captain and crew of the Sophia. He is about to return imme diately, and intends to pursue the same course during the next winter and spring. He is of opinion that, with a large commercial company, the fishery could be prosecuted along an extensive coast line, and with great advantage, one or two ships being appointed to different whale haunts or bays; with boiling apparatus on land ; but he fears that, if a number of ships run to Ho garth's Sound and fish where he was fishing, they may drive the whales off, and thus damage a fishing which would be most profitable to a few ships quietly working out. There were, it seems, two small American ships at the same fishing as Captain Penny, one of which was full ; but had Captain Penny not been fully provided with all the apparatus we have described, he would not have succeeded so well. No traces of Franklin were found in this latitude. The natives told Captain Penny of a supply of provisions which had been left at Navy Board Inlet, but none of the expedition of Sir Edward Belcher had been met with. Captain Penny, however, still holds to the belief that there is a milder climate and a polar basin yet to be dis covered. H e ment i ons that in 1850, when at Baillie Hamilton's Island, i n l at. 76.2, he found the saxifrage in the fl ower ; while, on the 29th of the same fra in odi tontfigh4 winer!.o Abundancedegreesfurt n h f e d r e s e o r u a t n h a , i o t t w he a r s onlywild . animals coming were met with l ast winter, but vegetation was m a very low state.

The first ordinary general meeting of this company was held in Carrick's Royal Hotel, Glasgow, on Wed nesday—W. Gibb, Esq., in the chair. The secretary read the report of the directors, which was as fol lows : " The documents under which this company was autho rised to commence business having been received from the Board of Trade on the 13th of January last, the directors, in pursuance of the powers vested in them by the charter, proceeded to carry out the arrangements which had before been provisionally entered into for taking possession of the telegraphic lines of the British Electric Telegraph Coro - pany, in order to work and use the same for the benefit of this company. This was effected on the first day of Ab ruary last. The directors are glad to state that all the conditions of the charter have, up to tho present time, been fully com plied with. The remaining condition—namely, theexten sion of the wires to Dublin—is now about being commenced and will be completed in ample time. " The snboaa - rino cable, Manufactured for the company by Messrs. Newall and Co., has been successfullylaid down between Portpatrick, in Scotland, and Castle Chichester, near Carrickfergus, on the Irish coast. Tho land wires between Carrickfergus and Belfast on tie ono side, and Portpatrick and Glasgow on the other, :tiro being rapidly proceeded with, and the directors hope that, if the weather be moderate, the communication between Ireland and the existing system of the company in Scotland and England will be completed in a few weeks, thus placing the prin cipal towns in the three kingdoms in connection with each other and the Continent. " The attention of the directors was next anxiously turned to the completion of the communication to London in the speediest and most effectual manner. At this junc ture the European and American Electric Printing Tele graph Company had just completed the laying down of their wires from Dover to London, and thence to Liver pool and Manchester, and a correspondence having been opened with that company, they were found willing to unite their lines with those of the British Company, thus in connection with their own northern lines, supplying to the latter, without the delay of construction, the commu nication from Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Hull, Newcastle, and intermediate stations to London, and at the same time placing those districts in direct communica tion with the Continent of Europe. "The directors of this company have, therefore, entered into an agreement with the European Telegraph Company for the whole of their lines, which was executed on the 21st day of July last, from which date the revenue of both companies becomes divisible amongst the proprietors of this company. "The consideration is 130,0001., of which, 100,0001. is taken in paid-up shares of this company, and the remainder by cash instalments, payable before the end of December ensuing. "By this arrangement the British Company obtains, in addition to the lines of telegraph already specified, the benefit of a remunerative contract for supplying wires to the Admiralty, and the advantage of agreements entered into with the Submarine Telegraph Companies from Dover to Calais, and from Dover to Ostend, respectively. whereby this company becomes the exclusive carrier, in wards and outwards, of all messages passing through those submarine lines to or from the Continent. _ " It has been agreed that the eleven directors of the European Company shall be elected directors of this com pany; and in pursuance of that arrangement, the board have to recommend to the shareholders at this meeting the appointment of the following gentlemen as ari addition to the present board, viz. :—Lord De Manley, Samuel Laing, Esq., M.P. ; W. J. Chaplin, Esq., M.P. ; the Hon. F. W. Cadogan ; Sir James Carmichael, Bart. ; Ernest Bunsen, Esq.; J. W. Brett, Esq. ; Francis Edwards, Esq. ; Rear- Admiral Sir Richard O'Connor; Robert Gill, Esq.; and George Edward Dering, Esq. "The accounts have been made up to the 30th of June, and have been examined and approved by the auditor, and a copy of the balance sheet has been fcrwarded to each shareholder, in compliance with the deed of settlement. " The revenue accounts shows a balance of receipts over working expenses on the half-year, amounting to 9951. 10s. 3d., out of which the directors recommend that a dividend, at the rate of three per cent. per annum, be now declared, payable on and after the 15th of October next. This balance is exclusive of several sums due to the Company on revenue account, amounting in all to more than 3001., which were not received at the date of the account. The directors consider this result of the first half-year's work ing of the Company is decidedly encouraging, as the whole system is necessarily not yet fully developed, and the capi tal account includes large items, which at present are not in productive operation, but belong to the whole ultimate expenditure. " With a view to meet the Company's increasing busi ness between the important towns of Glasgow, Manchester, and Liverpool, the officers are actively engaged in erecting additional wires over all the northern lines, and increasing , in every way the efficiency of the company's system. Ar rangements have been entered into for the laying down a subterranean line from Manchester, through Preston, Kciadal, and Lancaster, to Carlisle, in order to give a direct and instantaneous connection between the principal stations of the company and the Continent, and in a few months the directors confidently hope to bo in the position to execute almost any amount of telegraphic business with the greatest rapidity and precision ; and they trust that the portion of the public who use the telegraph will ap preciate and encourage a company that has done so much as the British Company has done for the cheapening and improvement of this most important means of communica tion. " The auditors, Messrs. Broom and Blackburn, retire - in compliance with th© deed of settlement, but aro eligible and offer themselves for re-election, and are willing for the year ensuing to accept the same remuneration as they have been paid on the present occasion, vit., twenty guineas each, which the Directors recommend should be granted. " The retiring Directors, in compliance with the deed of settlement, are Samuel Bateson, Henry Fenwick, William Wilberforce Pearson, William Gibb, Stephen Symonds, William Crawford, and games Hannan, Esq., who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. "As the company's creed of settlement authorises the vesting of any portion of their property in trustees, and as in carrying on their affairs it will be necessary to do so, it will be requsite that trustees be appointed by the share holders at the present meeting; and the Board beg to nominate for that purpose the following gentlemen : James Simpson, Esq., C.E., David Webster, Esq., and William Wilberforce Pearson, Esq. " The Directors have appointed Mr. George Saward the interim secretary of the Company, at a salary of 4001. per annum ; and, as his appointment rests with the share holders, they recommend that his services be continued by this meeting at the same salary. "In conclusion, the Directors beg to express to the shareholders their confidence that this undertaking will ultimately prove very handsomely remunerative, so soon as the works now in progress shall have been completed and fairly developed, considering, as they do, that the system under which it works is very simple, certain, and expensive, and that telegraphic business in this country, though rapidly increasing, is even yet only in its in fancy." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of this report, remarked that it would be seen from the report that the Directors came to a resolution to make an agreement with the European Company. The British Company were bound by their charter to lay wires between Lon don, Liverpool, and Manchester by a certain time ; and they thought as the European Company had just laid down wires three months previously, it would be very advisable not cnly to save the capital required to lay the wires, but at the same time to do away with injurious and wasteful competition, and they therefore thought it advisable to make the agreement with the European Company which has lately been effected. There was another reason for their anxiety to carry out this agree ment. It brings Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow into direct communication with the continent. Nothing, he observed, is more important than that a large manu facturing and commercial city like Glasgow should be in communication efficient and rapid with the continent. The directors have been most Anxious to make as perfect as possible the communication between the important towns of Liverpool, Manchester, and Glasgow, for in no place in the world is a perfect communication more ne cessary than between these towns, considering the im mense traffic carried on between them. For the most part, the produce which is sent to Britain from foreign parts does not belong to parties living at the ports, but to parties living in the interior of the country. While this produce is lying for sale in London, Liverpool, or Glasgow, it is manifestly most important for the owners to be put into almost instantaneous communication with purchasers. This object the directors of the British Com pany have most anxiously in view, as well as a judi c i ous arrangement and adaptation of the tariff. During the last half-year the shareholders and the publi c of Glasgow will see that there has been a reduction of the rates from 5s to 2s 6d. I think the inhabitants of Glasgow and Man chester will see that we deserve some credit for this effort to afford them a means of communication at so cheap a rate, especially as we are in the case of a new company fighting our way with other companies. He concluded by directing attention to the satisfactory state of the accounts, stating that the directors considered the decla ration of a dividend of even 3 per cent. could hardly have been anticipated so soon, but that the accounts did not even put the best face upon the company's affairs, as a large portion of the 60,0001. on which the present dividend is payable has not yet come into productive operation—in addition to which upwards of 3001. was due to the company on profit account on 30th June, which, not being then paid, is not noticed in the revenue account. He also stated that the Belfast and Glasgow communication will be completed in five or six weeks. In answer to a question by a shareholder, he stated that some defects have been occasioned in the Glasgow and London communication, in consequence of their being temporarily a break in the wires at Manchester, two systems meeting there, and being differently worked. He was glad, however, to say that the committee at Manchester have passed resolutions approving of a con nection being immediately made between London and Glasgow. They expected that the alterations thereby rendered necessary in the offices at Manchester would be completed in about a month, and the connection of the two systems might then be proceeded with. He believed there would be a meeting of the directors im mediately, to consider whether a more central and con venient office could not be obtained in London. The adoption of the report was seconded by James Hannan, Esq., and unanimously carried. A series of other resolutions was carried, after which the meeting separated. A COUNTY COURT SUMMONS SERVED IN CHURCH.— On Saturday last, some little commotion was caused in St. Peter's Church, Blackburn, by one of the bailiffs of the County Court attending in the church to serve a summons upon a man who on that day was interring the remains of his child. During the scuffle the sum mons was served upon the wrong person. At the County Court, on Monday last, the bailiff deposed that he served the summons personally, but the wife of the defendant appeared, and stated that the process was served in the church, and upon another man, not the defendant. His Honour (John Addison, Esq.), asked the bailiff where be served the summons. The official answered, "Not in the church, but in the porch." The Judge, indignantly, said it was neither a proper time nor place to serve a summons of that court, and dis missed the application to commit the man to prison.— lif -q*Wer &maw; PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

It appeared that the deceased, who was a labourer, was found murdered in a field near the town. He was lying on his side, with some blood near his mouth, and a hole through the palm of his hand. Some silver was found in his poket. The prisoner, when told of the death of his father, was very excited, and inquired if there were any marks on the body, and if the constable knew how the deceased came by his death. On the same day a man with whom the prisoner worked observed some blood upon his clothes, which, he said, was caused by his having had a fight. He directly afterwards went and changed his coat, when the blood was discovered. One witness deposed to having drunk with the prisoner at several public-houses, and having fought with him, and struck his nose, so that it bled. The magistrate said there were some circumstances which were rather sus picious, but there was not evidence enough for him to detain the prisoner. He was thereupon discharged. THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT CROYDON.—James Simpson, the driver of the excursion train which came into collision with the ballast-engine at the East Croydon station on the 21st of last month, was on Saturday finally committed by the magistrates to take his trial on a charge of manslaughter. His legal adviser, Mr. Burgon, applied to have him admitted to bail, but the application was negatived by the bench.
