BRITISH FISHERIES.—The return of the herring
fishery of 1863 shows a total of 654,816 barrels
cured, 276,880 branded, and 407,761 exported. The num-
bers aro considerably less than in 1862, which was an ex-
traordinary year, but it cannot be said that the fishing of
1863 was a short one. The experiment of fishing for her-
rings upon the ocean coasts in winter was repeated, and
extended, with success. The returns of the cod and ling
fishery show an increase in the quantity cured dried, which
was 129,725 cwt, and also in the total quantity exported,
which rose to 53,736 cwt. The little:success experienced at
Rockall in 1862 prevented vessels being fitted out last sea-
son to fish there; and further experience has shown that
the high anticipations formed of Rockall for the fishing of
cod and ling were illusory, and that its exposed position and
other disadvantages will prevent its ever becoming the
valuable fishing bank which at one time it was expected t o
be. In the year 1833 13,191 boats, manned by 43,358
fishermen and boys, were employed in the herring and cod
and ling fisheries, and the estimated value of the boats,
nets, and lines was £545,724—an increase in boats and their
value as compared with the previous year, but a decrease of
150 in the number of hands. Boats and nets are improv-
ing, and fishermen are becoming more thrifty and a better

DR. SILVE6TEIt'S PL4,11 FOR RECOVERY OF THE
APPARENTLY DROWNED.—Pace the patient on a
flat surface, face upinost, the shoulders being supported by
a cushion or any article of dress at hand. Draw forward
the patient's tongue, and fix it by passing an elastic band or
piece of string over the tongue and under the chin. Then
the operator, who places himself at the patient's head,
grasps the arms just above the elbows, and draws them
gently and steadily upwards above the head, where they are
to be kept for two seconds. The cheat being thus expanded
air (` nature abhors a vacuum') rushes into the lungs. The
patient's arms are next to be turned down, and pressed for
two seconds against the sides of the chest. Air is thereby
pressed out of the lungs, and, by repeating this process
about fifteen times in a minute, natural breathing may re-
turn. On that happy sign appearing, heat and stimulants
to the circulation are to be applied.—Cha2nbers's Journal.
SIR HUGH ROSE'S PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.—
Still speculating on the probable successor of Sir Hugh *
Rose as Commander-in Chief in India, the Indian journals
now speak with great confidence of Sir Sydney Cotton as
the man. We can only say that nothing has yet been set-
tled on the subject, and nothing has taken place to justify
any :of the rumours thus circulated.--,Army and Navy

BEES AND THE HONEY HARVEST.---A " Bee-
master" writes to the Tinges—" I have ten stock.
hives. I never destroy pr kill mybees. I look on the system
of the sulphur match as barbarous and unprofitable. I leave
each family on an average not less than 251 b of honey
for their winter stores, and the surplus only I take away.
Should any hive swarm, which I • can generally pre-
vent, and the remaining stock be therefore deficient pro-
vision for the winter, I feed them in the course of the
early spring with barley-sugar. This and other little
attentions endear the bee-master to his bees, as they are
very susceptible of gratitude and have long memories. A
hive is very like a church—when, in May, it increases
rapidly in numbers and the temperature rises inside, you
either increase their accommodation in area or in height,
or you will have a secession. Should a secession take
place, bees set an example ecclesiastics might copy. The
new church never falls out with the old one. Side by side
they work in perfect harmony, bglieving there is plenty
of food for both. The only incidental mischief maker is
the wasp ; whether he be prelate or presbyter
I cannot say, but I know well he is a thief and intruder,
and after a fight the bees, who in this matter are rigid

Ayrshire hexagonal hives, which I have found to answer
best of any, the three supers are in two almost full, and
in one there is at least 401 b weight in the super, and over
the super is a bell glass, with 71b or 81b additional. In
one of
Neighbour's very beautiful straw hives, I have
two bell glasses almost full, and, a month ago, I re-
moved from this hive a very beautiful glass of honey.
In one of Petit's lateral hives, the bees passed the sub-
terranean archway a month ago, and have nearly filled
this compartment. On this also I have placed a super
bell glass, which is beautifully stored. From a common
cottage straw hive I removed a bell glass super, three weeks
ago, weighing lSlb. This season I shall have nearly 2001 b
weight of surplus honey, and yet leave in each hive more
than enough to last the producers till April, 1865. Why
should not cottagers cultivate bees? There is nothing to
pay for pasture, very little labour is required, and that la-
bour amusing, in taking care of them, and for very early
virgin honey there may be had is Gd a lb. The poor cot-
tager might thus easily pay his rent.
