have been fearful and painful in the estrerre' filled, as it
was, by a dense vapour, the egonisiog shrieks of the terri-
fied inmates, and the dead and senseless bodies. I fancy
that the electric Buhl in the clouds, attracted still nearer iu

Wedhs Notary wee to some extent injured, being very
iamb dullewed by the deposit of • large quantity of tho
stehedenenled down by the flood ; but is still a fine angling
dream when the river is a little higher than usual. hies-
intyra's pool, ever one of the best iu the river, is, ia con-
sequence of the bank above the islands being somewhat
raised, a little more ale2gish than it used to be; at the
Little Isle, the Lesser Rosh was advantageously blocked
up altogether, and the present stream added to in volume
and force. The pool over which the old bridge stool was
never a favourite except for trout. No one fishes in it now.
Could these changes have affected the whole character of the
river as an angling stream for several consecutive years ?
This seems highly improbable. It is certain, however, that
sash of the decrease of salmon in the Ness for the last two
pees nut be owing to the great number of spawning. beds
wide were either buried by the deposit of stones and gray.l,
egintirely swept away where the pools were deepened by
he feed in 1849. It will also be remembered, that shortly
lOW w Ind the river became fur some time exceedingly
low, is sousesseme of the surface-water of the lake having
ens oat by the Weak of the anal beak ; thus many of the
✓emaining spawning-beds must have been left totally ma-
nnered by water, involving, as a matter of course, the de-
mises** of the spawn. The general eatery amongst anglers
le what the stakonets anti bagmen which jut oat from
Seery ponestory on the ems% of the Moray Firth. Yet they
an not of yesterday, and Mr. Lowe's exploits on Loch Ness
this summer show that a large number of fish passed through
the Ness towards the Garry, the Oieh, the Foyers, and
ether riven, while rod and net were equally unproductive
upon our own river. Many of these were eopon.coloured
and the majority had passed up early in the seam.. We
leave it to others to draw conclusions from these facts; fur,
be the cause what it may, rods and nets testify alike that
manna are rapidly becoming extinct in the Ness and its
tributaries. Were it possible to secure for them a year's
" Shine," there can be little doubt that those interested
maid rasp as abundant reward for their season of self-
denial. At present we may content ourselves with making
a few quotations from the journal of a famous angler who
has fished the Ness assiduous) y for nearly thirty yews.
The journal was commenced in 1834, and Is continued
down to the present day. Let it, however, be premised,
that the gentleman who has been so kind as to let us
leek over his note-book does not visit Inverses, for angliog
only; his sport Ii obtained almost wholly in the mornings
and evenings, and upon Saturday afternoons, during the
leisure hours of an arduous vocation. In 1834 he was not
much upon the neer, but sueosedcd in bagging 21 salmon
and grilse, besides a great many fine trout. In the year fol-
lowing operations were commenced on July 27, and in flue
days of the first week he landed 1.5 fish. In one day in
August he caught 9 grilse, besides several fine salmon trout.
The last entry that year is dated September let, when the
41st fish killed by b's rod that season is chronicled. This
was the last day he could get out to fish. In 1836, we find
our friend bagging in one day seven grilse ; "also killed
several firm salmon trout ; a dull day with a alight breese
from the north-west: river very high, but fish
rising beautifully; lost several others after play-
iag them for some time." On another day that
year he catches three fish before breakfast and
three hi 0- • evening. The 31 •

183 i to the end of 1840. Captain Gill rented the illitings
the Nees, so that our friend lied no angling, except. Lady
fialtoun's part of the river on Saturdays. Yet such was the
&banding's of fish in these days, that few as were his holi-
days upon the river, our friend bagged in the four
seasons about 60 fish. The year 1841 opens with the
following entry in the journal : "in 1811 Mr. Tait took
a lease of the river, and let it out for the angling in the
lower pooh; so I purchased permission, and had full
liberty to angle in my favourite streams." The result seas
the capture of 40 fish, beside, large numbers of fine
5. trout. Almost every entry chronicles the rapture
of two, three, and often half-a-dozen fish in one day ; bet
the Allowing memorandum dings them all : "On Friday,
t4B.;her 10th, at the Little Island stream, the 49th
ioth fishes—weight 14 lb. and 28 lb. The
21-plunder a most magnificent fish, the largest that has
bees killed with the rod on the Ness for some years; he let

M miseeee, then moved off in a sulky mood, he then made
same Mises rushes op and down the stream, and gave
exesibrat *port, but it was nearly as hoer after he was
booked before he was landed. He was of such exquisite
proportions, and so beautifully clean, that I had his pee,

IN CHESHIRE.

This county, u well se the stljoiniog county of
Lancaster, has of late been visited by a peg of burglars,
who, up to the end of last week, were successful in osm.
witting several daring robberies without being detected.
Late no Tuesday night, the 21st ult., the house of Mr.
Miles Hobson, of Northwich, was entered and robbed, sad
on Wednesday night, the 21st ult., the house of Mr. Charles
Belshaw, of Altrincham, was entered and robbed. On
Saturday morning, John Molloy, as Irishman, was taken
before Mr. Joyuson, having been remanded from the pre-
vious day on a charge of breaking and entering the heuse
tai ;:is• an gelding a quantity of books and
other articles. John Bowsien, a the to7O'hi° of Orange,
farmer, stated that about three o'clock on Thursday
lag he was passing through Altrincham and os reaching
High-street, Mr. Naylor told him that he believed thieves
were in Mr. Balshsw's shop, opposite, and he desired
witness to lack at the end of his boom, which he did, and
foiled • parcel containing • quantity of books, de. He
thee amused Mr. Balshaw avid Mr. Tartest (who lives neat
door to Balaksw's) while he kept watch at the cellar door,
which he found open. In a few 'minutes Mr. Tinton ap-
peered, and went Into &labile's, and brought the prisoner
I out of the house. Isaac Torten described his entrance into
Mr. Balahaw's collar, where he found the prisoner was
comealed in oae corner of the cellar behind some coals.
I There were several parcels of books and some stationery
packed up, and placed ready for easy removal from the
cellar by the window. On the prisoner be found some
silver ma-spoons, • bunch of keys, and some other articles.
Charles Balsha e, the prosecutor, corroborated this testi-
mony. The primmer wm committed to rho neat maims.
The thieves—to more than one had been there—regaled
thensselvce with some of Mr. Balshaw's port wine and
they had either eaten or carried off some roast heir and
plum pies. Police constable Simpson proceeded on Friday
to Leeds, where he apprehended Barnard 21.11agli and
Mary M'Hugh on a charge of being concerned in this rob-
bery. On Saturday morning the police received informs-
, Lion of a robbery at Northwie.l4 with • description of the

DERTRUCTIeIt WHIRLWIND.—On Sunday laid,
between three and four o'clock in the afternoos, he town
of Lyme Regis, in Donetsbire, was visited by a terrific
whirlwind, by which a stack of hay in the Home Bush
fields, weighing upwards of five tons, was earned up into
the air and scattered about the country in every direction.
A field of has also, ate short distance of, was torn up by
the roots and mattered about the neighbourhood. The da-
mage done to the farm and land upon which the storm fell
with its greatest fury is very considerable. In addition to
thiaan immense body of water from the sea, lust of the end
of the Cobb Walk, wee drawn up into the air on high, like
a waterspout, to the great astonishment and alarm of the
good people of Lyme. Happily the waterspout did not dis-
charge the main body of its contents upon the town itself
or the adjoining land., a. in that case the damage done
must have been incalculable. During the whole of the day
the sky had assumed a very strange and lurid appears-ce,
as if a violent thunderstorm had been coming on, but no
rain actually fell until after the whirlwind, when it conti-
nued fbr about half an hour to pour in heavy torrents (to
use the words of an eyewitness) as if heaven and earth were
Booting together. The storm, however, was very partial in
its visitation, and did not extend far either way along the
line of coast. The rind, however, has been partly washed
awff neer the immediate merle of dingier.
Tice RECENT U MP:N.—lntelligence has reached us
that several vereela dismasted, and otherwise damaged, put
into Yarmouth Roads yesterday. One large barque has
been wrecked on the Scroby Sands, and the master and a
boy drowned. A vessel laden with railway Ron was &shots
on the beach.
