CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.'
To-day's market was vi ry scantily supplied with Eng
lish Wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. Although
there were very few large buyers in attendance, the de-
mand was considered steady, at prices fully uqual to
those paid on Monday, and at which a good clearance
was ,:ffected. There was rather more doing for forward
delivery. Only 500 quarters et foreign Wheat have
come fresh to nand since Saturday, and the show of gra-
marled samples was limit, d. Selected qualities moved
off steadily at fully previous rates. Liry and middling
kinds were quite as dear. Floating cargoes of Egyptian
were freely offered at 28s 6d. all charg-s ii.cluded.
Malting Barley sold at lull currencies. Grinding and
distilling qualities were rather dull. Malt moved off
slowly, but we have no change to notice in prices. We
had a tree sale for Oats at fully Monday's currency.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour ruled firm, and the
quotations were well supported.

IRISH FISHERIES BILL.
Mr. CONOLLY, in moving the second reading of th_Lst
itßill, said he was not the udvocate of any particular s
or interest in Ireland, and would shrink from hrleit.,;
forward a measure of such importance on say but P.
lie grounds. There were three interests connected s"'
salmon fisheries in Ireland, and, though they were s:
gonistic to each other, they had only one common eh.
identical object, viz., keeing up the supply of fish in
best and most approved manner. The public had likewise;
a great interest in the question, for it' was of importeno
to them that a good maximum supply of fish sheej
always be msintained. What had been the stats_a
legislation on this subject? In 1842 a Bill was Peet
which dealt with and consolidated so less than twolitc
five old statutes respecting fisheries in the Ot'
country, but he felt justified in saying that the modes'
which that measure treated existing rights WI;
shameful and unconstitutional. From the time of Msgr.
Charts up to 1842 these fisheries were virtually ptilAte:
property, though very much drawn upon by private WE,
t: rests, but since then the public had been deprived 0„.
their undoubted rights, and the fisheries had be
a monopoly in the hands of private individesl'
The Bat of 1842 proceeded upon the principle as if tit:
was no such thing as public right; and he contsfluh
that this was a very serious error. It, in fact, eetaii;
fished a monopoly in the landowners against the Pti.—e
right, and so the Learned Judge announced from..
beach who tried certain persons at Waterford for 1,5
fringing its provisions. That learned person, je rtle
of fact, gave it as his opinion that ill.
provisions of the Bill repealed the rights of the peoPle
relation to fisheries as they were explained and coeferrei
in Magna Cearta. The law as it now stood went 0114s
!he theory of non-interference by Government. 16 "ir.
incite d left to the public to see that it was proPerlY e
forced, and the consequence was it was never enforoetigi
al. Now this detect in the law on ht o
ht to be butseditlor
remedied, and a Bill passed to give the upper go,
prietors on the Irish streams the same induceelecoes
preserve the fish that were enjoyed by the prePrivair
on the lower waters. The 11th and 12th „eat,
toria, relating to this branch of the seleti,,
he readily admitted had worked exceediogliA-90
and all he wanted the House to do was, to extee,rljer
enlarge its provisions. The Act of the Hon• glop
far Youghall was also an itsprovement upon the
tu osus_l.,e,
tem; b. still, notwithstanding these remedial ch. 10
In the law, the quantity of fish in the Irish Whop,
had of late years very seriously diminished. Theo the.
Cientleman then pi ~etee I to read passages fr° with
annual reports of the Irish Fishery Commission' goo

of the law afforded to poachers.
