Church, and all the nther churcbeerof the city. We shall
not be surprised, if, before many revolving years pass away,
the Russian has his Te Deuns chewed in the Great
Mosque of the infidel in ('onstantinople, once the Greek
church of St. Sophia. The long-de-pending disputts be-
tween these Powers are far from being arranged, and the
wily Russian is only waiting his hour to pounce on the
Turkish provinces. A new Company, it appears, has
been formed, under the name of the Russian South-West
'Company, for carrying on the navigation between the
Black Sea and the Baltic, by means of the canals and the
riven Dnieper and Nieman. This Company mean to im-
prove to the utmost the navigation on the rivers between
the two seas. Russia is omitting nothing that can add to
her resources and her strength. This ambitious Power
already overshadows Europe ; her dangerous influence
is everywhere felt, and will soon be incompatible with the
liberty and peace of the other nations of the Continent,
who, in their own defer.cc, must ann against her.

Yesterday, in the Chambers of Commere:: in several towns of the

thirty millions and a half at Amsterdam, and nine millions and a
half at Rottertiam.

Ilia Majesty has just bowed en Ordinance sciatic to the herring
fishery on the mist of Scotland, to the following effect :
Being informed that some Netherland fishcmtrn allow them-
selves to exercise the great or piekle•herring fishery among the
banks and rocks of the cauit of Scotland. Considering that the
catching of herrings (for pickling) in the above places, is one of
the evil practices which have been considered from ancient times
as injurious to the reputation of the herrings entight and cured by
the fishermen of this kingdom. That for these reasons, the taking
of herrings for pickling (pekelharing) among the banks and rocks
of Scotland. is strictly fuebidden by article 35 of ti.e law of 12th
of 31arch,

Tat besides the Iloard for the great fishery is of opinion, that the
salt herring fishery, for the interest of this brarch of the national
industry, ought to Ile carried on at a considerable distance from the
Scotch coast. That it is consequently necessary to fix this distance
ins positive manner. .

" On the report of our Minister for Public Instruction, the Na-
rk/tail Industry, and the Colonies, by the advice of the Council of
State, we have resolved,
Art. 1. No Netherlands fisherman shall be alliweal to entry en
the trent or pickle herring fishery, at a less distance from the coast
of Scotland than two leagues (20 leagues to a degree), nor on any
pretence whatever (except in cases of urgent necessity, as provia:ed
for by .Irt. 2:1 of the said law) even to mimed, within a smaller
distance of the said coast, while engaged in the pickle herring
fishery.
2. Tlais prohibition does not extend—

(a) To the great fishery off Shitland, and the island of Fairhill.
(b) To what is called the deep water pickle-herring fishery, car-
ried on in the autumn, more to the South, on the coast of England,
on the banks off Yarmouth; and lastly,
(c) To the Fresh limning Fishery.
These fisheries may be carried on as hitherto has been the
custom ; the fishermen are at the same time most strictly enjoined
not to east the ofFal into the sea nearer to the coast than the places
where the herrings are caught.
All violation of this Ordinance shall be punished according to
the law of 31arch 6, NIB.

We learn from good authority. that the Papal Bull is arrived
from Rome, which re, ulatcs the affairs of the l'atimlic Church in
our Kingdom. The limits of the bishopric of II ilderlichn will be
extended, and include the whole kingdom of Hanover, and there
will be a chapter of eight canons and sic viean at lfilderheim.
This Bull is "aid to agree with that Wined in 1820 for the kingdom
of Prussia, and like that, not to tic the relation of the Church to
the State, or that of the episeoprl authorities to the civil power.

similar invitation has now been given to Count Such's.lce, the Rus-

Norkoping is rising from its ruins ; and, as we hear, promises to

Every concern of life, however trivial, in this age of
legislation, must be determined by a petition to either
House, or by an Act of Parliament : nothing can be settled
in any other way. Among the innumerable host of peti-
tions which have crowded Octal& of the House of Commons
'this Session, embracing every passible subject, and the en-
tire of which, after a passing notic,i. have gone to their
long repose—under the table, Vet to be heard of, or pro-
even thought of aglin, we cannot help noticing
Mr. Battcrworth's iiic:re petition, signed Li a few cunsrien-
raulkrersr and tishmengers, against the selling
,
cneap matkarel ou Sinulays, presentM by him just before
the !louse adjourned on Thursday night. The lion. t ;en-
tleman asserted, on the authority of several fishmongers,
that mackarel might be kept as fresh for twenty-fear hours
as any °Our fish. We all know the credit that can be at
tacked to a bsinmmir's warranty; it is pretty much on a
par with that of a horse jockey ; and we arc equally aware
of the itilinite pains taken by dealers in turbot and salmon,
by constant ablutions of salt water, to maintain its flesh-
no ,s, and p, eserrr 'ill its flavour. The olfactory nerves of
the ft-cps:titers of Billingsgate arc peculiarly nice; they
can, in the ilog-days, warrant their fish, as we have often
seen, from tin. labels on their stalls, " Good for an hour
or two," according as salt and water, with artificial shade,
or their c•dlars of ice, can help out itA purify.
Ililliugs-
gate market, we also know, is a most chaste and classic
scene. The vernacular idiom of its " nymphs" is of
the most subdued and pious description. Who then can
wonder that the horrid cry of mackerel on Sunditys should
be most revolting to the ears of those accustomed to such
purity, and tug.: them to seek the repeal of that clause in
