Profemors Playfair and Huxley, and Camel Maxwell, Mao
formed a royal oommissioa to inquire into the opacities of
the acts relating to trawling for herring en the comae of
Scotland. The report occupies 32 pages ;it is strongly coo.
demnatory of the present legislation. The ammoissiomere
are of opinion that the herring fishery "should ant ha
trammelled with repressive acts, calculated ooh' to prided
class interests, aid to disturb in an unknowe wed pang*
injurious manner the balance existing between the softest,
Tidies and destructive agencies at west opal the herring.
If legislation could regulate the appetites of clod, onager,

them; but to prevent fishermen from catching Ask poor
one or two per cent of herring io any way they please, when
the other 98 per nut., subject to destructive agencies, are
poached in all sorts of unrecognised piscine atettiods, Mao

minima* conclude watt, expressing theirebeeg icauvistio•
that "the recent legialation no the subject eir the herriag

asea—has repressed invention, by prohibit/keg new sad mere
