MARTiEf A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Stock Exchange is closed in consequence of the Volunteer Review at Windsor ; and from the same cause, joined to the attractions of the Rose Show at the Crystal Palace, the City is nearly de serted. The banks are, of course, open ; but their s taffs are reduced to a minimum, and the various establishments connected with the produce trades are nearly all partially closed. Under these cir cumstances we have no report to make of the stock and share markets, while the discount market is Perfectly quiet with rates nominally at the quota tions of yesterday. The gold taken to the Bank yesterday was in bars to the value of £30,003. The Java, from New York, has brought nearly £200,000 in gold. A telegram has been received of the Jerus ►lem this morning, from Australia, giving the arrivals of the following vessels :—At Melbourne : The Royal Oak, the White Rose, the Adelaide Baker, the Pak- Wan. the Tanrtno, the Sea King, the W. Ilasleden, Geelong steamer, the Lincolnshire, the Anglesea, and the Roderick (Rob Roy ?). At Sydney : The Borealis, Nineveh, Benlomond, and Golden Sea. At Hobart Town : The Balmacarra. At Launces ton : The Velocipede. At Adelaide : The Ornate and the bang Ho, both from London. BRITISU FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. YESTERDAY. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 8 per Cent.

THE DESPATCHES FROM ABYSSINIA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that he w:shed to speak with reference to the despatches from Sir Robert Napier, and declared that he had never read of any cam paign comparable to the present one since the passage of a body of troops through a most mountainous region of India. He considered that the highest honours should be bestowed upon the offi,:ors cf our army, who had pefformed their duty without fear or reproach—(hear, hear)— and who were an honour to our country. (Cheers.) The amount of value which was attached to the operations during the campaign were more appreciated by foreign countries than by ourselves, and ho trusted that the Government would show that the de serving soldiers should receive the highest military honours. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that the noble earl had a perfect right, from his great milit—ry experieuce, to address the house on the subject, but he mast remember that this was a nation of routine, and that it was impossible to go beyond what they had dune. He would give the greatest honour to all concerned. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said that he thought they ought to be careful iu instituting precedents. The subject then dropped. THE FORESHORE AND BED OF THE SEA. The Duke of ARGYLL said that ho wished to call the attention of the House to a Inemorauduin as to the Board of Trade's dealings with the foreshore and bed of the sea. He said that the point which he wished to in vestigate was the point that the ownership which was limited on the part of the Grown was to be male absolute. The noble duke spoke of the disadvantages of giving licenses by the Board of Trade with. regard to taking soil from the foreshore of the oea. The Duke of RICHMOND said the document was drawn up by the Under -Secretary of the Board of Trade, and was intended only for the guidance cif those who were in that office ; but a private member of Parliament having asked the Government to lay it on the table of the house, his request was acceded to, without its being supposed to prejudice the interest of any ono. He, however, took upon himself the whole responsibility of the memorandum, although it had not his signature attached to it. The Marquis of SALISBURY asked a question as to the preference said to have been given by the Government to Mr. Street's plan for the new Law Courts over that of Mr. Barry, although it had baeu admitted that the interior of the plan of the latter was superior to that of the former, Mr. Street's plan only having the preference in respect to its exterior architecture. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that no design had been selected by the Government, but the whole question had been left in the hands of the five persons appointed judges for that purpose, who considered Ur. Barry's best for internal arrangement, and Mr. Streets for elevation; but ultimately the award made by the judges was d)emed in-. valid, and the competition ended. After a short conversation the subject dropped. Their Lordships adjourned at ten minutes past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. There not being 4) men - ners present at four o'clock, the houso adjourned until Mon lay. BUFFALO II UN 7IN G. - 0 — (From Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. The best buffalo hunters aro the Mexica❑ cibuleros, who hunt them for a living, drying the meat and takiug it back to Now Mexico for sale, it bringing sometimes, under rather unusual circumstances, fifty cents per pound. They go out into the prairies with wagons, leading their horses, and slaughter and dry in the sun as much of the meat of the "prairie rovers" as they can carry home. I have seen these hunters divest themselves of all el 'thing but shirt, pants, and moccasins, tie handkerchiefs round their heads, remove the saddles and stirrups from their horses, and replace them by blankets and straps, and, armed wit'i a couple of old-fashioned dragoon revolvers, ride slowly off towards the herd. The horses, all the while these preparations were being made, would stand with dilated nostrils and blazing eyes eager for the chase. Old prairie-men, when running buffalo, tie the and of their lariat, some thirty feet long, to their belt, and the other to the bit; because if thrown from their horse it prevents his escape, and if disabled they can pull him to them and ride into camp. If they are injured so severely as to be unabled to mount, or are rendered senseless, there stands the horse, a mark that can be seen for miles and miles away; for sometimes the hunter, in chasing up the herd, will lose sight of his friends altogether, and if he lay alone on the prairie they might hunt for weeks and daily pass and repass without seeing him. Then his fate is dreadful, and when he has no longer strength left to keep the wolves and ravens away—almost dead with hunger and delirious with thirst - the circle closes in on him and eat him up alive. But the hunter never thinks of this as he slowly rides off toward the herd, looking like some gallant knight going to do battle for his lady-love. He moves slowly that he may save the wind of his horse until he has selected his victim, usually a fat young cow, and his noble horse marks his prey as soon as he receives the first pressure of tt e knee, and after that sees nothing else. Then, like the wind, away they fly over the prairie—across arroyos, down the sides, up steep canons—amid the little prairie dog-holes and gopher ridges—the poor buffalo run ning in and out of the herd, and wildly doubling here and there as ho vainly trios to shake off his pursuer, till fin ally he becomes separated from the herd, and, with head down, lolling tongue and glaring eyes, he shoots off across the prairie. Like a hound, the noble animal follows in the track of the panting buffalo, who hears each moment, nearer and nearer, the steady gallop of the coming horse. The blood tinkles in your veins, and your horse needs no guiding, for he is now a part of yourself, and when his nose almost touches the flank of the flying buffalo, with a sudden burst of speed he sweeps up beside him, and you fire. Perhaps, instead of drooping, he keeps steadily on ; but when you have again fired, and another little stream of blood trickles down his side, quick as the lightning he makes a sudden, surging, swinging plunge at your horse, who as readily sways aside, and then, with eyes blazing defiance, he stops, and shaking his shaggy front blows the blood from his nostrils in two bright red spouts, like little miniature fountains. Like gladiators, the two animals eye each other—the horse wary and resolute, proudly gazing at him with heaving sides, arched neck, flowing mane, and ears thrown forward watching his every motion and waiting for his nest move. Shaking his huge front, flecked with blood and foam, and tearing up the grass and throwing the earth in clouds about him with his feet, the buffalo again runs off, followed by the horse, at every shot halting, surging around, and starting off again. Suddenly he drops, but is on his feet again quick as the conception of a thought, and starts away only to drop again and again, and, after staggering on awhile, turns, and with a sudden bellow stands at bay. It is grand to see the noble animal stand and, proudly, as it were, look at death full in the face. I never shall forget the impression of dogged, sullen courage made upon me, when for the first time I beheld the great form that breasted me standing with the blood trickling from three little holes, and running in separate streams down his side, pattering upon the short, crispy gramma grass. His breath rattled loudly as the blood spouted from his nostrils, anti, turn whichever way I would, that shaggy head, crowned by short, thick, scaly horns, and thick with matted hair, was turned sullenly toward me, lowered level with the green turf that was so quickly drinking up his hot heart's blood. Those eye balls glaring from beneath the bushy forelock, like coals of fire, It ere not dimmed by the slightest shade of fear, but glowed bright with hate as he would charge fiercely toward me a few paces and then pause, weak and weary. He was bleeding his life away, that proud old King of the Plains, and when death began to tug at the tendons of his heart, and slowly sever, one by ono, its brawny muscles, it was pitiful to see the tremendous efforts the noble fellow would make to shake off its chill and keep upon his feet. Ho would sway and reel from side to side, gradually spreading wider and wiler his legs to steady him—his great form shaking and shivering all the while, like the sails of a ship thrown up into the wind, and by a mighty effort would stand erect again, and as firm and as proud as ever. Slowly, by inches, and with many a moan, he sunk into the pool of blood beneath him, his last low bellow stifled by the blood that gushed from his mouth ; his eye faded ; the horse neighed fiercely ; and with a groan almost human, the wounded animal rolled over—dead. PROMOTION OF EMIGRATION. —0 n Monday, June 1, Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, introduced a bill to estab lish, under direction of the Secretary of State, agencies in Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, and Norway, for the promotion of emigration to the United States. The pre amble - asserts that the United States have grown to their present magnitude and power, by reason, in a great degree, of the continued and increasing immigration of persons of foreign birth, and that the present financial condition of the country makes it more than over necessary to encourage and promote this great source of national wealth. The first section provides for the appointment for one Commissioner for Great Britain and Ireland, one for the North German Union, one for the Austrian em pire, and one for the kingdom of Norway and Sweden. Iheso commissioners shall collect ant disseminate infor mation concerning the several States and Territories, so as to induce and protect emigration to the United States. Tho second section provides for the salary of the commis sioners, and that they shall report annually to the Secre tary of State. Tho third section provides that any State or Territory may furnish books or pamphlets to the com missioners to distribute among those who contemplate emigrating to the United States. The fourth section pro vides that the commissioners, under the direction of the Secretary of State, may make arrangements with steam boat or railroad lines to reduce the cost of travel of immi grants to the United States, without cost, however, to the Government. The fifth section provides that the com missioners shall expose in their respective offices books, maps, and specimens of the agricultural, mineral, and manufactured productions of the States and Territories which solicit immigration. :NEWTON MEETING-FRIDAY.

THOUGHTLESS C R UELT T. —The Nottingham county coroner held an inquest yesterday on the body of Henry Rigley, a boy five years of ago, who met his death under the following peculiar circumstances:—The deceased and another lad, named John Wren, were playing together near Mr. Watson's lace factory, at Beeston, when Wren, who is 13 years of age, seized hold of his companion and held him over a grate from which some steam from the factory pipe was issuing. The poor boy was fearfully scalded, and a short time afterwards be died. It was shown that Wren wilfully held tho lad upon the grate and the jury ri,Aurnecl a verdict of " Manslaughter" against him, the coroner committing him for trial at the assizes. TRAINING REPORTS. Fortunio has been doing extraordinary good work dur ing the past week, accompanied by Fervacques, Bracken, Liberal, and Castanet. No hors, could possibly look or go better, and, from the style in which he won the Great Northern Handicap there is no question as to his staying the severe Northumberland Plato Course. He has main tained his position in the market with remarkable firmness, 100 to 10 being taken very freely to-day. Flora, led by Sawyer and Buttercup, has been doing strong gallops, with an especial view to the Northumber land Plate, and on Wednesday took a rattling 2 mile spin, at full speed from start to finish. Our correspondent states that she is in superb condition, without being drawn too fine. She has been tried with Buttercup, giving the letter, it is reported, 71b, and won in a canter ; hence the promi nent position she has taken in the market. Watson, her trainer, is wonderfully sanguine, and if they have made no mistake in the trial, Flora must be especially dangerous for the groat race of Wednesday next. For some days past the commission has been executed in her favour, at all prices down to 4 to 1, and her quoted price is now 7 to 2, taken and offered. Taraban is receiving the greatest attention possible, and, with Viscount, has been taking from two to three mile gallops every morning. Since he returned from Ascot he has been going and doing remarkably well. lle is a cer tain runner fur the Northumberland Plate, and is sure to run forward, and win if he likes to try. There is no ques tion as to his staying, and he has a fine turn of speed when he chooses to exert it. Ono thing is certain, he will be sent to the post perfectly fit. After being first favourite for some time, Taraban receded in the betting, his defeat Ly Mandrake at Ascot accelerating his retirement, but ho has within the last few days greatly recovered his position; for although 8 to 1 was offered against him at Hampton, ou Thursday, 550 to 100 was accepted in one bet about him. Lady Zotland, another Malton representative, has been doing strong work for her Newcastle engagements, and, from the style in which she went on Thursday in a splen did two-mile gallop, our correspondent thinks she will take her own part in the Northumberland Plate. El Cid will carry Lord Zotland's popular ' white and crimson spots" next Wednealay, and our latest advices from Richmond speak most favourably of him. In the early part of the week he was taking long, steady canters, but the two last days ho has increased iu sped. The style in which he was backed at the Clubs would indicate that a commission had been thrown in the market in his favour, his last quotation being S to 1. Philosopher, in the company of Scotchmau's Pride, and led by Parasol, has bean doing plenty of work to insure his being fit for his engagement next Wednesday. Polecat is another representative of Richmond, and Elliott has been sending her along led by Miss Osborne. On Thursday morning she took a rattling gallop of two miles, and pulled up fresh and well. Fair Wind, we hear, is a certain runner, but being trained privately we cannot speak as to his condition. The infer ence to be drawn from the market doings would indicate that he is doing well, as 100 to 7 has been taken about him quietly for some time past, and to-day he was again sup ported at that figure. Tynodale will, there is every probability, be the trusted 44n 4fT. Da WE01.015 stable. During the early part of the week Tynedale was doing steady canters of a mile and a half, but thin work has been increased so far as speed goes, but over the same distance of ground. The horse goes well and looks in beautiful condition, so on the score of fitness nothing will be wanting to enable him to repeat the Rococo triumph. In the market Tynedale is very steady at 15 to 1. Minster Bell is engag,Kl from the same stable, and may possibly run. She is very fit and well, and will doubtless go to Newcastle. Deceit is trained privately, and beyond mentioning that the colt is occasionally backed at 25 to 1 for the Northum berland Plate, and that he is expected to start, we can give no information respecting him. Julius and Speculum have bath been taking it very quietly, walking, in fact, being the extent of their exercise. This will, no doubt, be very beneficial to both of them. Fiiponnier has been doing some steady cantering on the tan during the week. The Rake has again appeared, and Joseph Dawson has ventured to canter him on the tan, but there appears to be little cl:auco of the colt's Wing able to stand strong work. Blinkhoolie has been walking about the last few days. Blue Gown, Rosicrucian, and Green Sleeve have been walking about for a couple of hours each morning, in company with the Palmer, Satyr, Fakir, Vabalathus, and Sister to Rosicrucien. As far as health goes no horses could be better than the Itingselere cracks, while the ground is so hard that Porter's judicious treatment must be beneficial to them. Belladrum, after walking about for same time, has taken a smart canter each morning of about three quarters of a mile, led by Marksman. On Thursday Miss Hayes led the two-year-old a good gallop over the same distance of ground, accompanied by Crocus. No horse could possibly look better, and there is every probability that he will be sent to fulfil his engagements at Stockbridge. Mandrake, Mercury, King of the Fairies, and Corporal are all well, and quite lit for their Newcastle engagements should they bo wanted. Fervacques has several engagements at Newcastle, and the work he has boon taking with Fortunio and Bracken will insure his coneition being right. LTncas is still only taking walking exercise, so there is little chance of hie running in the Irish Derby on the Cur ragh next week. Lady Cecilia, a very fine looking filly, own sister to The Duke and half sister to The Earl, is doing capital work at Danebury, led by Minnie Marron. She is very forward in condition, and is a splendid mover. Should she be brought out at Stockbridge, we shall expect to see her about winning the race for which sho may ruo. The Earl has been taking little more than walking ex ercise, from which it would appear he will not be wanted at Stockbridge. Lady Elizabeth is not doing any work, nor is Athena. The Crucifixion filly galloped in company with Lady Cecilia in the early part of the week, but subsequently she has been eased. Abstinence has been galloped with Contempt, and goes remarkably wall. Sho may scow in better colours at Stockbridge than she did at Ascot. Tanedos has done a similar amount of work as the above, and from all appearances will be wanted next week. King Alfred is not doing more than trotting exercise, nor is Suffolk or Restitution. Knight of tho G irter has be doing steady mile and a half work. The celebrated brood mare Diphthong, by Entilius out of Ophe:ia, by Bydlamite out of Lady of the Lako, by Sor cerer, who lately became the property of Mr. Robert Hunter, Royal Oak Hotel, Stockton, was found dad in her paddock ou the morning of the 17th instant, within a wet kof her time fur foaling. _Diphthong was the darn of Persuasion, Trip:twee', and several other winner. , , and was bred by G. 11. Thualpsin, Esq., late of Fairtio:d, near York. SUTTON PARE RACES.—The Great Barr Cup, the Fly ing Stakes, and Erdington and Nursery Plates close ou Tuesday next.. The course is completed, and we hear that it is good going considering it is so long she] we had rain, which is attributed to the peculiar nature of the soil. An old and experienced trainer visited tho course a few days ago, and pronounced it better than ho expoctel Liliiugton, '2 yrs, was purchased at Windsor by Mr Milne for 26 guineas, and he subsequently transferred the colt to Mr H. Wright, and ho joins B. I'Auson's stable, together with the gelding by Nowminster out of Lady Paltnerston, for whom Mr Wright gave 330 guineas. A veterinary certificate, signed by Mr W. B.trrow, of Newmarket, M.R.C.V.S., of the ages of the following two year olds of Count F. de Lagrange's has boon officially lodged:—Biche au Bois, Cominandeur, Oonsu', Gustave Adolphe, La Nova, Madlle. de Guise, and Spirit ‘. Mr Bray purchased Relivirus, 3 yrs, for 200 soya, after he had raa seco_l•i to Professor Aaderson in the Visi tors' Plate et Hampton. READING, 1868.—The stewardship of the forthcoming races has beet: accepted by Lord Vivian, Colonel Knox, A. .Heathcote, and H. J. Simonds, Esqs. The yearling colt by Voltigeur out of Tib Tacket, pur chased at the Middle Park sah), has arrival at T. Ash mall's, Newmarket, to b 3 trained. Mr. Desmond's colours have been altered to black orange sleeves and cap ; and Mr. G. B. Oirnish'a colours, are blue body with white star.,:, crimson sleeves and cap. Mr. Dasmond's yearling filly True Blue , by Oxford, out of The Tailor's Daughter, broke her leg on the 10th inst., and was immediately destroyed. Mr. Brayley pareha3ed Thorndik 4 yrs, at Windsor on Tuesday for 500 S, with tho coatin e souoy of a'• hun dred" the first rata he wins. Mr. Wodson, well known on the Turf as a patron of Clay's stable, and owner of Dcerfoot, Bjleno, Jevington, &c., died recently, in his 38th year. The three year old colt by Satellite, dam by Harkaway, has arrived at E. Bellow's stables, Letscombe, whore there ere just now vacancies for three or four others. Mr. Golby claimed Finesse, 3 yrs, after she had run se cond in the Bushy Plate at Hampton. CURIOUS CALCULA7IONS. Whether it be the effect of the weather, or want of bettir employment, certain philosophers are now engaged in making calculations, the immediate utility of which is far from being quite apparent. Thus, it has recently been asked, what would be the intensity of a man's voice, in proportion to his bulk, if compared to that of the grasshopper? Now this insect may be heard at a distance of one-six teenth of a mile, or 110 yards; and as a man weighs as much as 26,000 of its fellows, if the same pro portion were observed in the intensity of the human voice, the latter could be heard at a distance of 1,625 miles, so that, for instance, Sir R. Napier might, from Abyssinia, have carried on a conversation with Sir Stafford Northcote in Downing-street. If, under such circumstances, a man were to sneeze while at home, the house would tumble over his ears. The fallacy of such calculations lies in this, that the re lative size is calculated according to the linear or arithmetical ratio, whereas the resistance of the air which has not been taken into account, increases in a cubic ratio. If the chirping of the grasshopper meets with a resistance of only one in the air, supposing the breath expelled by man in using his voice to be 20,000 times greater than that of the insect, the resistance which the sound emitted by him will have to overcome will be represented by the cube of 20,000, or 8,000,000,000,000, which explains the real state of things. We may here notice another kind of cal culation which has been indulged in by physiolo gists of late, for the purpose of ascertaining the con nection there is between the intellectual faculties and the weight of the brain. It has been found that the average in Europeans is 1,328 gms. ; that in Germany, taken alone, it is 1,425 gms. ; in Eng land, 1,389 gins. ; in France, 1,353 gins. ; in Rou mania, 1,303 gins., and in Bohemia 1,245 gins. The brain in females weighs less than that of men. Among Asiatic races the average is 1,253 gins., ex cept on the slopes of the Himalaya, where it is 1,304 gins. Among the negro race the weight is between 1,313 and 1,249 pas. ; among the Chinese, 1,357 gins., and the Esquimaux, 1,219 gins. Original literary monuments written in the old language called Pali, used by the Buddhists in their sacred books, are exceedingly rare in Europe. The Imperial library here and the Royal one at Copen hagen are the only establishments possessing a series of MSS. in that tongue. This extreme scarcity is owing to the great reluctance the Buddhist priests have to entrust their religious writings to Europeans, or to allow them to copy them. Two years ago the Imperial Library succeeded in purchasing a series of MSS. of this kind, and valuable on account not only of the number of volumes, but also of the con tents, which are extremely curious. Nevertheless, the great bu'ldhist collection calledTripitaka k the Triple Basket) was only represented by a few fragments in this first acquisition. This chasm has now happily been filled up by Mgr. Biga❑det, Bishop of Rangoon, who, aware of the value these works must have for Orientalists, his succeeded in obtaining from the Birmau monarch, as a present to the Em peror of the Fremh, a complete copy of the whole collection, consisting of 28 volumes. The text is written with a sharp point on palm-leaves, in Bir man characters ; and the binding is not less curious, the sides being of wood painted and gilt. One of the works is the " Kamavacca," written in old Pali characters ; here each of the leaves is bordered with figures and ornaments iu red on a gold ground. The Emperor has been graciously pleased to send this magnificent present to the Imperial Library. THIRD SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocE. NOTICE.

St. Albans Kingsbury 8 I TliE BARRACKS OF THE HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY. .0.- The Lancet devotes its sanitary report to the Knightsbridge B ►rrack, which is condemned as un fit for either officers, men, or horses. The whole place is redolent of horses and horse manure, the buildings being huddled together, and the litter thrown out directly under the windows of the bar rack-rooms. An instructive example is given of the way in which increased accommodation may be economically obtained. The mess-rooms of the privates have been taken from them for regimental offices, and they are now compelled to take their meals in their bedrooms. The ablution rooms are dark, uncomfortable, and their floors perpetually wet. There is no looking-glass, no place to lay a towel or the soap. The married men and their children are lodged in the most shameful manner. They have no supply of water, no watercloset, no domestic conveniences whatever. They are worse off than they would be in a . workhouse or a prison The managers of the Zoological Gardens would be execrated if they kept their animals in such an un happy state. The young become stunted for want of air and light, and. no one would suppose these puny children to be the offspring of such stalwart parents. There appears to be an almost total ne glect of sanitary laws ; bad ventilation, offensive urinals, disgusting privies, untrapped drains, and badly ventilated barrack-rooms. Baths are so short that the men cannot immerse themselves, and hot water is not allowed. In the hospital the bath for these six-foot troopers is 4ft. 3in. long, and propor tionately wide, while the supply of hot water is on a corresponding scale. The sick wards are dull and badly furnished. Extraordinary pains appear to have been taken to secure ventilation and pure air by complicated tubes over the gas burners, louvre openings near the ceilings, Sherington valves and 0-alton stoves, to the utter neglect of the simpler but far more efficient, expedient of making a suffi cient number of windows opening at the top. There are neither day nor recreation rooms, so that music halls and love-making are the chief resources for amusement. The Lancet Commissioners are of opinion that this barrack cannot be materially im proved, and recommend that it should be at once rebuilt. They speak highly of the site in a sanitary point of view, and if London is not to be denuded of its troops, the neighbourhood of the parks is the best situation for them. There is, however, no rea son that the buildings should be made so unsightly as they now are. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—Last Evening.

Ditto FIRE ON THE WOLDS.—It is believed that an act of incondiarism was committed on the Yorkshire Holds on Tuesday evening. A lounger was noticed at Eastborne, and shortly- afterwards one of three straw stacks was found on fire in the yard of Mr. Jordan. The fire spread to and destroyed all three, and had all but roasted a valuable bull alive, the animal being saved by pulling his house down. The damage is considerable, and no reason beyond the sus pected one can be given for the occurrence. THE WHITEBAIT AND THE HERRING.—At the last meeting of the Zoological Society, Dr. A. Gunther, of the British Museum, gave a resume of his researches into the distinctions between the different fish of the her ring family. The British species of this important group are the herring, the sprat, the pilchard (which is identical with the sardines of the French coast), and the two species of shad. These species aro readily distinguished from ono another by the numbers of their vertebrae and that of their scales, the relative position of the fins and that of the teeth. One of the most important results arrived at by this emi nent ichthyologist is the absolute identity of the white bait and herring. In the last volume of the " Catalogue of Fishes in the British Museum," Dr. Gunther describes the whitebait as a perely nominal species introduced into science in deference to the opinion of fishermen and gourmands, and states that every example of whitebait examined by himself were young herrings. The late Mr. Yarnell, who has been followed by most natura lists, regarded whitebait as a distinct fish, but the circumstances that it has the same number of ver tebrae (56) as the mature herring, the s tine number of lateral scales, and an identical arrangement of fins and teeth, a combination of characters found in no other fish, prove conclusively that it is the fry or young of the her ring; moreover, an adult whitebait in roe has never been discovered. With regard to the effect on the supply of herrings occasioned by the destruction of the young fry it is probable that the number of eggs deposited by the mature herring is so largo and disproportionate to the number of fish that attain maturity that the capture of a portion of the fry could have no„eppreciable result in di minishing the multitude of mature fish.
