Ina conversation which I had this morning with It. de
Bismarck. I asprireed surprise that while Austria appeared
to maids( she might, without any danger to her Polish
province, 00-operate with her Majesty's government and
that of Face. in endeavouriog to obtain from
the government of Russia those rights which the
people of Poland are entitled to claim, Prussia should
hold aloof. and exhibit herself to Europe as
the ally of Russia in the oppresehe of Polish natiourlity ;
and 1 mid it seemed tome that it would be worth her while
to attract to herself 800111 of the Europese sympathy and
approval which Austria was likel to Fun it this question.

t these tramactions it Is very satisfactory to
note the complete accord in principle and purpose of the
Cabinets of Parhand London, though the proposal of the
Preach government. that a joint note of the- three Powers
should be addsmed to the Promise goverment on the
subject of the ReescePramian Ooriventies, and again to the
Emma goverment oe the affairs of Poland, was Dot m-
olded to by the Cabinet. of Loudon and Vilma. Above'''. it
will be satisfactory to the British piddle to mask the bold,

British government on this Pall& gaadiam, and the per.
severing and powerful moral eapport which Earl Russell

The appellant in this ems was the commis, of the Dims

one side of the rives to the other, and tLis dem was of gush ,

sees endeavouring to do so in vain. In this dam there
wear two constructioes in the form of locks, three
feet wide, at the up stream ends, of which there
were doors which could be raised or shut down at
pleasure, whilst at the other suds of three locks there
were " hacks" used for the purpose of taking
These constructions had been employed far atoning fish
down to the 19th May Let, from which time the appel-
lant had, at the request of his landlord, Mr. Sartain,
ceased to fish, and he had removed the • heels," though
the movable doom were allowed to remain. The appellant
was summoned before the magistrates, charged with allow-

adjudged to forfeit all engines, lock sluices, gates, and doors,
if they were not carried away, to pay 11. • day for every
day they should be suffered to remain, and also to pay
61. 13s. oasts. This decision was now appealed against, and
the question was whether the appellant had committed any
offence.
Mr. Manisty, Q.C., appeared for the appellant, and Mr.
Daviion for the respondent.
On the me hand it was urged that the dam was an almost
imparealde obeleactioe, preventing the fish from passing
up the river, a thim which it was clear the legislature never
intended to permit ; whilst on the other Ode it was said
that the dam was le no way used for fishing, and that if the
appellant were compelled to remove the doom and the locks,
the consequence would be that his mill would be melees
from want of water daring the fence months. It was fur-
ther said that if the dam were found injurious to fisheries
above, the proprietors of such fisheries should go to the ex-
pense of constructiog a night of salmon steps, instead of
calling upon the appellant to remove hie gates.

that every occupier of a fishery for salmon should,
