THE IVIIITEBAIT IN DEVONSHIRE.

Mr. G. P. R. Palma, of Crewkerne, states, in a
itommunicatioa to the Modem Priv Pod, that he has
ascertained beyond doubt that the Brit (as it is called),
with which the Dart abosads, is the veritable whitebait
which has become one of the "institutions" of thee:matey.
Be says:
" The pert of the river in which it is found, and it
swarms there is incredible numbers, is that which extends
from Totnes-weir to the mouth of the river at D .rtmenith,
• distance of about a dozen miles, being the part of the
river within the influence of the tide. During the hot
months the flab, in particular parts of this interval, line
the sides of the river in shoals, and often attract the most
indifferent observer by the singularity of their movements.
Beer and anon the water seems alive with their gambols,
or as if hailstones were falling thickly upon its surface.
The fish are then evidently engaged in feeding upon the
myriad shrimp, which occupy the places alluded to; for
the little victims spring continually above the surface is
futile attempts to escape from their active and insa-
tiable enemies. The whole of the specimens examined by
Mr. Puhrisn contained numbers of these little anaemia,
more or less d;gested, so that the nature of the white-
bales prey is placed beyond a doubt. The little fish itself is
known, on similar evidence, to become the prey of the Bass
and other larger species which inhabit this romantic stream.
Bushels upon bushels of the whitebait are hauled shore,
during the fishing slams, in the salmon nets, and are left,
with wasteful indifference, to rot upon the banks. A gen-
tleman last summer ventured upon the experiment of cook.
Me a few, by way of sample, and he pronounces them to
be la every way identical—equally delicious as • piteatory
asormasi—with the far-famed Greenwich luxury. Whether
the fish remain in the river during the whole year, et
otherwise, has not been ascertained ; but they have been
observed in Much 'and in every succeeding month till the
end of November, and the fishermen do not remember their
absence from the salmon nets at whatever season those nets
might have been used—a fact which, if it dose not settle the
question of time (and of mune I do not advance it with
that intention), at least speaks plainly es to the sort of mesh
employed on the Dart in the capture of salmon, and thus
adds another instance to those which are constantly occur-
ring of the short-sighted folly which, by using nets suffi-
ciently small to capture the salmon fry along with the
parent fish, is everywhere dooming to positive 'nineties
the princely race of SnMo.

TO Thil EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS.

Blit,—We are invited by the ministerial prints
to believe that Lord Palmerston has resigned his
office in consequence of a dispute with his col-
leagues on the subject of reform. It is gratifyieg
enough to observe that the easy going public,
readily enough led into error, have on this occasion
clearly enough seen the imposture which certain
writers would practise on them. There is an easy
answer to be given to all such pretended revela-
tion■ from authority. The leaky minister who
could be guilty of such a crime is not to be be-
lieved on any terms. " Authority," then, in this
case, means only that the writers have received
suggestions to urge this belief on the public.
It is no secret to the friends of ministers that
they have been ill-satisfied with each other. They
who can observe small signs of great events have
h❑d no doubt on this subject. I will not tell you
what reasons I have for writing this, because I
should point too clearly at indiscreet talkers, which
is not my intention. But I am indignant when I
perceive the public thus misled by the worst section
of the Cabinet. I have better than Government
authority for assuring you that Lord Palmerston re-s
signed on the Eastern question, and nothing else.
It is perfectly well known that Lord Palmerston
never has been an ardent reformer. No man of
fashion ever is. It is against all rule of fashionable
life to have an earnest feeling of any kind, unless it
be against the people. But it is just as well known
that Lord Palmerston never has opposed reform with
any kind of eagerness. It is strange that a man of
his penetration should not be able tens that the cor-
ruption of the House of Commons is the cause of a
feeble foreign policy, and places power in the hands
of courtiers. The waywardness of certain supporters
of pacific impossibilities has perhaps much to do with
this; but, however accounted for, the fact is Lord
Palmerston has not great faith in reform, yet will
never oppose it with any kind of temper.
When I assure you that the Reform Bill has
already passed the Committee of the Cabinet of
which Lord Palmerston was a member, and been con-
sidered also in the Cabinet itself—that it has been
approved of in its principles and details, and has for
many days been in the hands of those formal gentle-
men who lick such things into the shape of a bill,
you will know what faith is to be attached to the
impudent explanations foisted on us.
I dare the red-tapists who write in the Times to
deny this. But do you, air, inform them that the
people of England will not take such small change.

BRUTAL T 222222 NT OP A PONY.

Henry Weller, gardener to Mr. Herds, of Dartford, ap-
peared to answer a complaint at ttie instance of David
Watson, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, for the following barbarous treat-
' meat of • small Shetland pony, belonging to Mr. Apple.
gash, of Dartford.
From the evidence it appears that the pony, which was
not more than three feet high, had strayed into a field of
Mr. Hard's, where it was attacked by the defendant, who
struck it • tremendous blow with a large stake, which
caused it to fall down a bank and roll into the river Dart.
On getting out the pony was again attacked by the de-
fendant, who struck it between the eyes and across the
loins with the same largo stick, and drove it under some
railings which had been placed to protect a haystack.
While there it was brutally kicked by the defendant in
the tender parts of the body, and when extracted from the
railings it was found to have lost the use of its hind-quar-
ters, and was unable to stand. The poor animal was con-
veyed home in • cart ; but, finding that nothing could be
dune fur it, it was found necessary that it should be killed.
The Bench, taking into consideration the defendant's
Paw,
character, did not indict the full penalty of the
law, but sentenced him to pay a fine of 405., with 30s.

PIEDMONT.

The Piedsnontese Gazette, of the ith, contains a
long report addressed to the King of Sardinia by
Count Cavour, Minister of Finance and President of
the Council of Ministers, concerning the state of the
corn trade. The minister states that it was his in-
tention to wait for the meeting of parliament to intro-
traduce a comprehensive measure on the subject; but
that, owing to the situation becoming daily more
serious, he recommends his Majesty to issue a decree,
to be subsequently laid before parliament for its ap-
proval, reducing the duty on sacra to one-fourth, and
that on other grain to one-half of its present
amount. The report is followed by a royal decree to
that effect.
The Piednsontese Gazette announces the death of
the celebrated Italian writer and poet, Count Cesar
Saluzzo, on the 6th, at his villa of Monesiglio. He
had been secretary to the Council of Ministers un-
der Victor Emmanuel I. and subsequently tutor to
the sons of King Charles Albert, and Grand Master
of the Artillery.

NAPLES.

The. government of the Two Skillets has decided
that, in cossequenos of the existence of cholera,
ships coming from London and other porta of the
Thames, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Rotterdam, aid Odessa
are to be subjected to 10 days' quarantine. For
other ports of Great Britain, for Lubeck and Tro-
ve:Runde, and for ports in the Black Sea other
than Odessa, persons alone to be subjected to a
quarantine of 10 days. For Gibraltar and the ports
in the north of France there is to be a quarantine
of observation for seven days. Several vessels ar-
riving at Naples from Marseilles have been subjected
to the above quarantine, in consequence of having
English merchandise on board.
The Genoa Gazette states from Naples, that the
exportation of chestnuts has been prohibited there
since the 21st tilt.

The Madrid Gazette of the sth publishes the royal

condemns its predecessors for governing without a

with the government to be necessary to legalise the
existence and action of the cabinet. Whether it will
go further, and condemn former cabinets by its acts,
remains to be seen.

SAILORS' HOME REGATTA AT STORNOIVAI.

The first regatta ever attempted so far north took
place on the 2nd instant, in the splendid harbour of Stor-
noway, which was meted with sailing and other boats,
to the infinite delight of the innabitants, who turned out
masse to witness this pleasing, and, to them, novel sight.
The regatta, which was got up under the patronage of Sir
James and Lady Matheson, fur the benefit of the Stornoway
Sailors' Home—an admirable institution, which owes its
existence in a great measure to the munificencejof the
worthy baronet above mentioned and his excellent lady—
was conducted in a manner which would have done no small
credit to those ports where such exhibitions are of more
frequent occurrence. The first race was between fishermen's
boats. pulling six oars, nine started, and made an excellent
match. The second race, which was also good, was between
gigs of four oars. The third, which was a well-contested
one, was between five fishermen's boats, pulling tour oars.
There were two other races, one being made up of private
boats belonging t> the town. The day's proceedings were
terminated by a supper sad ball, the former bing provided
Ea the contending parties, by Lady Matheson, at the
Sailors' Home, the donations and subscriptions in aid of
which have lately been considerably increased by the active
elm lions of Captain Hall, R.N., the managing director of
the Sailors' Home Institution, in Craven-street, Strand,
Loader, who has been for some time past busily engaged in
the north, in the furtherance of this interesting cause, :to
which, of late years, he has so successfully devoted his time
and his exclusive attention.

THE NEW STAMP DUTIES.
---o-

Yesterday the new stamp act, 16 and 17 Vic., cap.
59, came into force. The other stamp act of the last ses-
sion, cap. 63, took effect from the 4th August, when it re-
ceived the royal assent. There exists some misunderstand-
ing on the two clause of duties. The act which has been in
operation 601110 time, has reference to stamp-duties on news-
I papers and supplements, repealing the duty on advertise-
meats and reducing the duties on articles of clerkship, at
torney's certificate, &c. The act which yesterday took ef-
fect has relation to other duties, including receipt stamps,
making them at the uniform rate of one penny on 21. and
upward. In cue of any insurance for lives a stamp policy
is to be made out, end the officers of insurance companies
are to be answerable for any default. A reduction is made
on articles of clerkship to attorneys of the county Palatine,
which may be stamped for admission into the superior
courts on the payment of the additional duty. Additional
inventories in Scotland are to be charged with a certain
duty. Licenses to perform divine services while churches
are being repaired; are to be free from stamp duty.
Where property is sold subject to any mortgage, the
mortgage money is to be deemed part of the purchase
money, whether agreed to be paid by the purchaser cr not.
Where property is sold in consideration of a redeemable
annuity, the redemption money is to be deemed the pur-
chase money. The commissioners ;of tho Inland Revenue
may adjudge what deeds are liable to stamp duty. Officers
of the post-office may, on being authorized, now sell postage
stamps. Playing cards must not be sold without the stamp
on the ace of spades. The stamp duties in Ireland are aow
made perpetual. Such is an out-line of the new duties
which yesterday came into operation.

FRANCE.

- • -
PARIS, TUESDAY Et ENING.

I learn from a private source that news has been
officially received-Ist, that the declaration of war is
placarded in Constantinople, together with a stirring
appeal to the Ottoman people to support the Sultan;
2nd, that the Sultan has made an appeal to Europe;
and 3rd, that a formal request has been made by the
Porte for the assistance of the two fleets. I expect
to have the text of one or more of these documents
to-morrow.

The Dr bats, without taking any notice of the re-
peated denials of the story of the four frigates having
been sent away from Constantinople, repeats it as a
fact, and the I'resse endeavours to account for the cir-
cumstance by saying that if it be true that the frigates
were originally sent for to repress apprehended fanati-
cal turbulence which was not found to exist, their de-
parture was quite natural, as was also their return in
company with the entire squadrons when new orders
arrived. The Patric?, however, says to-night that
letters from the Bay of Besika of Oct. 2 statu that
the frigates were then at Constantinople, and it is
certain that the fleets had not thea gone up. We
are still without any authentic intelligence of the
actual entry of the fleets, but it is admitted on all
hands that whether pursuant to a call from the am-
bassadors or to orders from home, they are at this
moment in the Sea of Marmora, beyond all doubt or
contestation. The telegraphic despatch relating
news said to have been brought by the Fury excites
more attention to-day than it did yesterday, although
its authenticity is still doubtful. Among many other')
grounds of doubt, one is founded upon the fact that
Pattie of last night did not publish it. This, how-
ever, is set off by its publication the Constitutiomiel
this morning.
The Bourse has been greatly depressed to-day.
The Threes fell lfr., the downward movement
etting in early, and going on without a rally
to the close. With the exception of Dijon and
Besancon, which rose Ur. 50c., all the railways fell
—many of them 13fr. 20c., and even 30fr. Credit
Mobilier fell 27fr. 50c., and Bank of France, 10fr.
I have reason to believe that a camp of observa-
tion is about to be immediately formed at Metz, the
command of which will be given (at least nominally)
to Prince Napoleon.
A letter from Stockholm of the 2nd says, that the
King of Sweden had ordered a prosecution to be
instituted against the democratic journal, the
Vuarost, for having published articles insulting to
France—meaning of course to the French Emperor.

OFFENDERS.

This asylum, the parent institution established for
the reformation of juvenile delinquents, is about to be
closed. It was founded at Stretton on Dunmore by the
magistrates of Warwick hire long before public attention
was directed to the importance of reformatory institutions
for young criminals, and after struggling through great
difficulties for 35 years, its energetic supporters have the
satisfaction of knowing that the importance of the object
they have had in view is fully recognised in the public
mind, end that ere long, in all probability, steps of an effi-
cient character will be taken to plate our criminal code,
with regard to juvenile effeaders, on sounder principles.
The cause assigned for the closing of this establishment is
lack of support. The secretary, Mr. H. T, Powell, has ad-
dressed the following circular to its supporters : " I am in-
structed to inform you that at a special meeting of the com-
mittee of management of the 'Warwick County Asylum on
Friday, the 23rd of September, 1853, it was ' Resolved that
the Warwick County Asylum for the Reformation of
Juvenile Delinquents at Strettun-on•Dunsmore be closed
on the 25th of March, 1858.' The committee very much
regret the contemplated dissolution of the Conroy Asylum
at Stretton-on•Dunsmore, an institution which has existed
there for 35 years ; but they are net without a hope that
previous to its dissolution some measure will have emanated
from the government which will enable the committee to
revive it on a more extensive and efficient system."

THE RlfillicAlf ROBBERY IN WINDSOR PARK.—
Yesterday, a letter was received by kir. Eager, superinten-
ds rat of police at Windsor, from Lieut.-Colonel Harold, of
the 11th regiment of Foot, now lying at Winchester, re-
questing that ShorroeL, the soldier committed for trial
on Monday, for robbing a labourer on the highway in
Windsor Great Park, might be reported at the War-
once as a deserter. The colonel adds that Shorrock is
• most depraved character, and that the law must take its
' course. It appears from the prisoner's own statement, that
in 1846, being then only seventeen years of age, be was con-
victed for housebreaking at Blackburn, and transported for
seven years. Being sent to Bermuda, he and several oths.rs
obtained tickets of leave, and returned to this country, after
a penal servitude of five years. He then worked as •
labourer on the railway at Preston, and suffered three
months' imprisonment for • murderous attack on • police-
man. lie afterwards enlisted in the 11th regiment, where
he was always in trouble for had conduct.

MIDDLESEX.

Mr. Shadwell held his court yesterday at the
New Globe Tavern, Mile-end-road, to revise the lists for
the parishes and paces within the polling district of Mile-
end, including All Saints Poplar, St. Anne Limehouse, St.
Botolph Without, Aldgate, Brntley, St Leonard, St.
George, St. John of Wapping, St. Wary Stratford, Bow ;
St. Mary Whitechapel ; Mile-end Old Town, Shadwell,
Ratcliff, Precinct of the Old Tower Without, and Pariah of
Hely Trinity, Maoris'.
In the parish of St. MWhiteelapel, the overseers
to the name of Walter Michael Oppeuheim, de-
scribed as of 20, City-road, Finsbury, qualtion, free-
hold land in Goodman's yard in bison occupation.
The overseers stated that they MIN willing to
withdraw the objection, u they were led to consider that a
piece of land adjoining, with a shed, gave a qualification
for the borough.
Mr. Sidney Smith appeared to defend the claim, and con-
tended there was nothing in the case which could destroy
the right et the claimant to vote for the county. The yard
alluded to was a timber yard, and the overseers objected to
the qualification because there was in the timber yard, a
saw pit with a roof over it, without sides. The ground of
objectioa wu that the freehold ground might be called the
antilage, and that being within the borough, it would
destroy the right to vote for the county. No goods how-
ever were stored under the temporary roof, it being raised
solely for the protection of the workmen.
The Barrister said he entertained the same view taken
by Mr. Smith, and considered the claimant entitled to a
vote for the county.
The name was retained.
YEZEHOLD LAND SOCIETIES.

In St. Mary Stratford, Bow, many objections were taken
to the claims of the members of the National Freehold
Land Society, whose names in many cues were retained
upon the register; others were expunged is consequence
of the property claimed for not being entirely free from all
charges.

A number of claimed+ for freehold rent charges were

Mr. Serjeant Shed and Mr. John Greene, the
members for the county of Kilkenny, with their col-
league, Mr. Michael DuDivan, representative of the
borough of Kilkenny, were entertained last evening
at a public banquet In the Tholsel of that town, by
the liberal electors and other inhabitants. Upwards
of 200 persons are said to have been present. Mr.
Bryan, of Jenkinatown, one of the most wealthy and
respected of the lauded gentry of Kilkenny who
was to have presided at the dinner, sent the follow-
ing letter:

jointly interested, and to authorise the directors from time
to time to coneur in making partition of any other properties
in which the company might be interested jointly with other
persons on each terms as they might think fit.
The CHAIRMAN explained that a portion of the wharf in
question would be regaired at some future time for a new
entrance to the decks, which it was in contemplation to make.
The arrangement made with the late Mr. George Marshall,
and which the court was now asked to confirm, was that
the company should pay him 9001. for his portion of the
wharf, he remaining their tenant, at 251.• year, until they
required it.
A resolution for carrying out the object of the special
meeting was then put and agreed to ; and after a vote of
thanks to the chairman, deputy chairman, and the board of
directors, for their zealous attention to the interests of the
company, the court adjourned.

GERMANY.

The Alusgrioa Correspondens, of the 9th instant,
publishes a very important article on the Eutern
question. Having confirmed the fears inspired by
tLe circular that appeared in the Moniteur, it repeats
anew, that Austria will resolutely insist on the pro-
mise given by the Czar to respect the integrity of
the Ottoman Empire. For the rest, this integrity is
guaranteed in an absolute manner, whatever the
chanties of war may be. The general tendency of
the article is to show that Austria's best line of con-
duct is to persevere in her strict neutrality, with
reservation of further reflection, in case there should
be a violation of the integrity of Turkey.
The Cologne Gaulle publishes a letter from Ber-
lin. dated Jan. 9, which states that the conspiracy of
the secret society of Posen not appearing to be of
any great magnitude, nor calculated to excite serious
alarm, there will be no conoentration of troop in the
province of Posen.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH STAFFORD•

SEIR,E.

BIRMINGHAM, THVINDAY,

In the report of the ironmeaters' meetiog at Wel•
verhampton in to-day's Daily News it was mentioned that
Lord Ingestre, the tory candidate for the representation of
South Staffordshire, would probably address the consti-
tuency here to-day ; his lordship (lid so at half-past eleven
o'clock be entered the Assembly-room at the Royal Hotel,
where about thirty individuals had assembled to meet him;
a few minutes afterwards Mr. John Rawlings, solicitor,
was called to the chair, and the formal introduc.
den over, Lord Ingestre proceeded to deliver I
short address, under circumstances which must have been
. .

anything but gratifying to him, for although countenanced
and supported by the great influence of Meson. Williams,
the ironmasten, there were present, out of eleven hundred
South Staffordshire voters resident here, exactly sixty four
persons, including only one manufacturer of the town of
high standing. In the course of his speech declaratory of
his principles, Lord Ingeatre said, that while he was ar-
dently attached to the church, he was disposed to extend
the bandits of education to all classes, irrespective of secta-
rian considerations. He avowed himself in favour of all social

reforms, but opposed to the 51. franchise, though he admitted
that in some respects the franchise required to be ettended.
Promising to devote his best energies to the interests of the
constituency if elected, he said, lam your candidate, and
it is for you to say whether the contest shall be dropped en
not, though from all the returns I have seen I believe we
stand a fair chance of winning the election." Finally, with
reference to the letter written by him after the death of the
Duke of Wellington, he admitted that it was a thing of
youth, and that his suggestion might have been a mistake

a impertinence ; bat be added that he had been thi

- .
mauls of 3,0001. being raised, which had been devoted to a
useful purpose. A resolution was passed approving his
lordship's principles, and a committee wu formed, but the
entire affair' pasted off u coldly as possible.
