The salt tsx was 'pia noticed in the Howe of
Commons list night. The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER is entitled to credit for the modifica-
tion. of his original Islam. Ile has consented to En
abatement of the strerit:- of its pressure upon Ire.
land aid Scotland ; he Ins also proposed a mitigs.

in favour of the fisheries, but the interests of the
country require he should do s‘iinethilig more. In-
deed this tux. us now cut dosii, will hardy ►office
to defruy the expenses of its collection. mod the re-
venue will lose nothing by doing it sway ad-

together. A very respectable meeting of IWIIII.

owners and others, raiguged in the pilchard H•hrry
of Cornwall. was held at the Ited Lion Hotel,
Truro, on Tuesday last. JOSEPH A N ricILD,
Fol. was invited to take the chair. lint on sc.
count of his advanced age declined that honour.
and Purim. EN. was called on to pre.
side. The business of the d■y was then commenced
by reading the requisition. after which the Chair-
man briefly adverted to the circumstances which re.

quired the attention of the gentlemen present, and
all others who were interested in the succest of the
pilchard flattery. The series of is-solutions, were then
proposed by Jos. llaivriet.D. El. and it a. 5. the
unanimous opinion of the meeting that tie impost.
tan of sts.• bushel on salt used in curing ink:4444,
would annihilate that fishery as a branch of foreigir
commerce; since, with a duty of 3.1.5 bosh,:
on the salt now used, the greatest economy was ne.
y, and sacrifices were oriels made, to 111511.
tan a successful competition in the ltslian
with the fish of France and Spain. The payment
of a duty on the importation of salt, even if a
drawback was allowed 141 the export.tras of tiro
fish, was strongly objected to, from the
certainty that attends the fishery. The twit
warehoused for curing the fish relitaii.s
hand sometimes two or three years, so that tier
Upstater* could only make up the loss of is.
serest on advancing the duty by an increased
charge upon the fish. This advance of duty
would, besides, drive all the fish-curers of.sovall
capital out of the market, and give a complete mu.
nupoly of the article to persona of large fottnue.
The resolu•iutis were unanimously adopted, and a
petition to the House of Commune was peepured
and signed by the persons presto. Copies of the
resolutions were directed to be forwarded to the
Members for the county, the Members fur the dit.
ferent boroughs, the Members fur Devon, Fly.

Esq. was appointed to proceed to town, in order to
represent to Ministers, the Members convected
with the courtly, the bind consequences Ow must
result to the pilchard &bet), if a duty be imposed
on salt generally, even though a drawback to the
same nominal amount should be allowed on the
esportstion of the fish.

The pilchards are already approaching our
coasts in considerable quantities. On Thursday
week a shoal was discovered in Gerrans
when the IVellington aeon was shot, sad twelve
hop•hesds raf very fine fish were enclosed. The
power developed by England is the late war
has taught the notions of the Continent to place
a just value upon trade, tl.e cultivation of which is
now become their Isvourite policy. This then it the
moment when England should welch with 'wrist
care all dial remains with her, and particularly the
which is exclusively her own. The pilchard fishery
may be of little cooperative value, bat is a species
of commerce of peculiar interest.

A discussiou took place lost night in the %use
of Commons on the distress of Ireland, occasioned
by • questuon of Mr. VESET FITZGERALD to the
Irish Srvretary, to to wholyer the Irisb. Gorera-
ment hod any remedial pressures in contemplation.
It. vtuuld no). sppear from apy thing which Turd
that any decisive conclusion has been formed.

We hope that we may now congratulate our
endue, on the coalition of the disturbances m the
south of Ireland. It appears Irons our extracts
from the Dublin Papers of Saturday, that the
county of Limerick, the focus of the imurrection,
is free from •utrslpr. Famine, hossever, holds oil
its reholless course is the south-west of the
country; but how much more frightful must have
beets its ravages if left unchecked by the early sad
generous exertions made to arrest its progress?
