bound from Coestantieople to this port, wan about two
miles south-west of Itardaey Island, the men oe the look-
out sighted a Maisel a-bead, though the stranger was show-
iag no light. A dome fog immediately coming ors, the look-oat
on the Aleppo lost sight of the scboooer. and the steamer
continued ber course. In about half an hour afterwards.
sod while the fog still hung, a terrible crash occurred, sad
the topgalleatmaats of the steamer were snapped by the
fore> of the shook. It was soon aseertrined that the
Aleppo had struck the schooner fairly amidships, cutting
into her like a knife. The schooner went down im-
mediately, the only wood heard being the pitmen
cry of a child. When it ceased all was as silent
as if no sere catastrophe bad taken place. The bombe! the
Aleppo were lowered in her than three minutes, and son-
timed to pull round the scene of the disaster for some
hours, but failed to rick up any of the people who had
been oe board the schooner. A heed.bosrd, oa which was
painted "Charles Edward a," a bed, a blanket, and a bag of
corn, were, however, found ; that wee all. The 'chooser

CLOSE OF THE SALMON FISHERIVS. —Tbe season
for taking salmon in England and Wales (except by
angling) cloud yesterday (Thursday). the fence time com-
mencing to-day. Salmon, however, may be sold for three
days longer, and anglers have two months' grace. angling for
salmon (not for sale) being permitted up to November 1.
The fish are already, many of tbem, out of conditioc,
and it es the general conviction (except on the part of
anglers themselves) that the extesaion of the muting
season ought to be more limited, as no doubt it leads to
the destruction of many fish that are a'asioat ready to
spews. Coder the old act the exportation of salmon daring
the fence time is strictly prohibited. The take of salmon in
the seams just cloud in those two important salmon rivers.

when it was expected to improve it fell off, and
this appears to have been the eons all over he
kingdom.
The ribs (or botcher", as they are called in the Severn
district) were unusually scores notwithstanding the &accost-
'edited fact that more salmon fry went down the Severn
and Wye in the spring than had been ever known before to
pass down to the sea, so that there must be some unknown
cause seaward that has retarded their return. An unusual
number of fish have bees taken that were marked as if by
the bite of some creatures, supposed to be porpoises. The
fishing improved with the rains in Augur, nod in conse-
quence of the " freshes," the upper portion of the rivers
had their fair share of fish, instead of the take being mono-
rolised by the fixed engines at the mouths of the rivers. It
is expected that the anglers will have good sport from the
run of grilse, now that raise base freshened the riven.
The Severn and Wye are now shoot being formed into dis-
trict", ender the new Salome Fisheries Act, notice ot hs-

bees given.
