Fniu m Tants or SCARCITY. —Let those of us
who live on the coast see that an understanding is
established between inland consumers and the fisher-
men, who are usually slow in hearing of public
affairs. There ought to be no burying of tons of
good fish in the sands, or rotting of them for manure,
to keep up the price, under the notion that only
gentry cat fish. Let every basket be sent by the
nearest railway to some inland market; and, once
more, let sonic pains he taken inland to get the fish
under the notice and command of the classes who
want it most. There are many small towns,
villages, and populous road-sides, where the labourers
never see or hear of fish, except as a luxury which
comes to the squire's. A tittie zeal and est...ifoo on
the part of public-spirited men would easily have
brought mackerel into 10,000 cottages this dear
spring, and may yet bring shoals of herrings among
the labourers during the yet dearer autumn which is
to come. At best we shall not have nearly the
quantity of fish that we ought; but let us have as
I much as we can.—Once is Week.

( 'if ANN EL ISLANDS STEAMER. -The Aquilla.
steam ship, belonging to the Weymouth and Channel
Islands' Steam l'aeket Company, made her first
trip to Guernsey and Jersey and back on Thunelay
and Friday last, since being refitted and undergoing
thorough repair. She has been re-painted and deco-
rated, and the old figure-head has been replaced by a
new one, consisting of a well-executed figure of an
1 eagle with wings extended. The internal arrange-
ments have also undergone very great improvements.
New boilers and furnaces have been supplied her,
and the ladies' and main cabin have been admirably
fitted up. The basins for the ablution of the gentle-
men are so arranged at one end that when not in use
they can be covered with comfortable seats. The
whole must have cost a very sonsiderable sum; and
as the arrangements for the comfort and convenience
of its passengers are all that can be desired, we
have no doubt the Aquilla a ill become a great
favourite amongst the excursionists to the Channel
Islands.

COAST VOLUNTEER& —On Saturday last, eight of
the coast volunteers who had obtained an hour's
leave of absence from the coast-guard ships in the
roads, were brought before the Mayor, charged with
being drunk and disorderly the day before. They
were fined ss. each, to be paid in a week, long before
which time they will have left the pod. On Satur-
day last half a dozen of their comrades having also
obtained leave of absence frAn their vessels, went to
the police station and threatened a murderous attack
with open knives upon the police, and would no
doubt have carried their threat into execution had
not the constables overpowered them by a free use
of their staves. The coast volunteers were from the
Emerald Isle.
