TIM BELLE OF 'THE VILLAGE. By
John Mills, Author of " The Old English Gen-
tleman," 6-c. 3 Vols. Colburn.
The euthor of this hook is well known to novel
readers as a clever writer in his peculiar style. In
the descriptive and field sports, and the details of a
country life, he is inimitable ; but it wiil be found
that when he brings us into more civilized circles he
is not so felicitous in his endeavour. The Squire
Woodbee is very well put forth in his character
throughout, but nevertheless much more interest is
inspired by the rough and hardy, but honest and true,
Corporal Crump. The ladies are most deplorable he-
roines—it is to be hoped that there are .not many
living likenesses to them. They are two sisters, the
daughters of a merchant prince, who was ruined prac-
tically, but managed to keep up appearances. It
will be found that in the lower walks of life more
talent is displayed by this author, and the lovers of
the ludicrous and witty repartees will delight in many
scenes here met with :

" • Here's 'a heath to the King!' said the loyal coach-
man, raising his glass. _ _

"' God bless responded a voice, and upon exa•
mining the quarter whence it proceeded, the cauliflower
head of Corporal Crump was detected.
" Since you put a kind of amendment to my toast,'
said the coachman, addressing the corporal at a distance,
and holding out his glass, perhaps you it take a sip
with me before I'm off, mate.'
" We're not blessed with a superabundance of good
offers in this worll,,' replied the old soldier, rising from
his position of perfect ease, and coming forward.
" Truer words were never spoken, mate,' rejoined
Jonathan, who, in personal appearance bore a striking
resemblance to his companion the guard; and when we
do catch one, we should put as much store ,by it as a
pearl dropped in a hail-storm.'
Right,' added the corporal; and as he delivered
the moeosyllable he received the proffered glass from
the coachman's hand, and, to the infinite surprise of the
bystanders, drained it to the last drop.
" There must be,' continned he, with great gravity,
at the finish of his draught, no heeltaps where the
King's concerned.'
" Well!' returned the coachman, rolling his head
from side to side, while the guard administered a few
playful digs in his ribs, and appeared on the point of
making every button fly from his garments with the ex-
cess of mirth et seeing his friend sold,' as ho called it,
I t han't forget that fur the time to come.'
"` He is dead now,' said the Squire musingly; but
not many years since there was a great man on 'Change,
one whose reputed wealth and position made him an ob-
ject of adulation and worship, and sycophants were ever
bowing at the shrine—among them myself.'
"‘ But I bated him, Starkie,' continued he, as the
veins again roped across his brow, with the envy of a
heart burning to be what he was. I know not how or
why he came to occupy my thoughts, but sleeping or
waking I dreamt of this man, and his power was that
which I longed to grasp.
" At the time of which I am speaking I was little
noticed by far less important persons, and he had but a
slight visionary idea that we had ever met before, when
once we parted, although, perhaps, but the short date of
yesterday intervened.
In short, he was the great man on 'Change, I a no-

body.'
" Revolving years, however, bring revolving changes.
I grew rich, and, knowing it, took care that others
should know it too. He, the great man on 'Change, be-
came poor, and knowing it, did all in his power to pre-
vent the information from spreading beyond the limits
%is own breast. We were being worked upon by ex-
actly opposite causes, and yet these brought U 3 together
in closer union than, at one time, could have been con-
jectured possible. He wanted assistance, I rendered it;
be wanted more, I gave him more; and, not losing my
own depth, the great man on 'Change was under there 1'
and Tobias Woodbee struck a thumb on the edge of his
seat, and pressed it till the blood faded from the nail.
6, 6 The storm thickened, clouds lowered upon the
house, but no expenditure was retrenched, no scheme
abandoned, no venture given up. Ruin gradually stole
upon him like the darkness of night falling around; but
he still remained the great man on 'Change.
66 6 It was now, being unable to do without me, that I
became his constant guest, and one more honoured never
toasted in a mansion wherein luxury reigned paramount.
It was, indeed, a palace in which he lived, and all that
art could do, or money purchase, met the eye in weary-
ing profusion.''

where he was received with much warmth. The
Hon. Mr. Sprague, in his address to the Secretary,
alluded to the responsible duties now devolving upon
him with 'regard to the fisheries question ;. and Mr.
Webster, in reply, said—
" Gentlemen,—Mr. Scra;.zue has been pleased to refer
to recent occurrences. As to some of them, or at least
to one, it may not be fitting in me to say one word now.
The time has not come. But I would say, I may
venture to hope, without presumption, that I am not en-
tirely unknown at home or aeroad—(Cries of 6 No,
no !')—and,l say further, if I have anything good and
valuable, rhold it in my own keeping, and will not
trust it to the waywardness of others. Friends and
neighbours, the time you offer me this welcome is not
altogether inappropriate.. lam about to be among you.

is an end to all human labours and efforts. I am no longer

to enjo

the measure of strength I still enjoy. I hope
,
the pleasure of your kindness and society for some
years to come, if such may be the pleasure of the
Almighty. Mr. Sprague has made allusion to recent
occurrences, threatening disturbances on account of the
fisheries. It would not become me to say much on that
subject until I speak officially, and under direction of the
head of the Government. And then I shall speak. In
the meantime be assured that that interest will not be
neglected by this Administration under any circum•
stances. The fishermen shall be protected in all their
rights of property and in all their rights of occupation.
To use a' Marblehead phrase, they shall be protected,
' hook and line, and bob and sinker.' And why should
they not? They employ a vast number. Many of our
own people are engaged. in that vocation. There are,
perhaps, ,among you scum who have been on
the Grand Banks for forty successive years, and there
hung on to the ropes in storm and wreck. The moat
potent consequences are involved in this matter. Our
fisheries have been the very nurseries of our navy.
If our flagships have conquered the enemy on the sea,
the fisheries have been at the bottom of it—the fisheries
are where the seeds form from which these glorious
triumphs were born and sprung. Now, gentlemen, I
may venture to say one or two things more on this
highly-important subject. In the first place, this
sudden interruption of the pursuits of our citizens, which
had been carried on more than 30 years without inter-
ruption or molestation, can hardly be justified by any
principle or consideration whatever. It is now more
than 30 years that they have pursued the fishing in the
same water and on the same coast, in which and along
which notice has now come that they shall be no longer
allowed these privileges. Now, this cannot be justified
without notice. A mere indulgence of too long con-
tinuance, even if the privilege were not an indulgence,
cannot be withdrawn at this season of the year, when
our people, according to their custom, have engaged in
the business, without jhst and seasonable notice. I
cannot but think the late dispatches from the Colonial-
office had not• attracted to a sufficient degree the atten-
tion of the principal Minister of the Crown, for I see
matter in them quite inconsistent with the arrange-
ment
made in 1845 by the Earl of Aberdeen and Ed-
ward
Eveketi,'. ' - Then the Earl of Derby, the pre-
sent
First Minister, was Colonial Secretary, It
could not well have taken place without his know-
ledge, and, in fact, without his concurrence or sanction.
I cannot but think, therefore, that its being over-
looked is an inadvertence. The treaty of 1818 was
made with the Crown of England. If a fishing-vessel is
captured by one 'of her vessels of war, and brought in for
adjudication, the Crown of England is answerable, and
then we know who we have to deal with. But it is not
to be expected that the United States will submit their
rights to be adjudicated upon in the petty tribunals of
the provinces, or that they will allow our vessels to be
seized by constables and other petty officers, and con-
demned by municipal courts of Canada and Newfound-
land, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia! No, no, no.—
(Great cheering.)' Further than this, gentlemen, I do
not think it expedient to remark upon this topic at pre-
sent, but you may be assured it is a subject upon which
no one sleeps at Washington. I regret that the state of
my health caused any absence from Washington when
the news came of this sudden change in the interpreta-
tion of the treaties. My health requires relaxation. I
shall feel it my duty, as soon as my health and strength
will justify me in undertaking the journey, to return to
my post and discharge the duties devolving upon me to
the best of my abilities."
It was reported in WashingtOn that the Committee
on Commerce in the House of Representatives had
prepared, and intended shortly to report, a British
North American Reciprocity Bill, expressly provid-
ing that the north-eastern fisheries shall remain open
to the fishermen of the United States. This, it was
said, had been determined upon some time back.
A telegraphic message, dated Philadelphia, July
27, says that the commandant of the navy-yard at
that port had received orders to have the steam-frigate
Saranac overhauled, provisioned, and manned with
all possible dispatch. The Saranac would, it was said,
form the vanguard of a fleet destined for the Gulf of
St. Lawrence. In the navy-yards considerable and
unusual activity was apparent.
It was stated that
.the. Lubeck fishing schooner,
lately seized by. the
,British steamer Netly, and car-
ried into St. John's, New Brunswick, was, at the
time of her seizure, off. Grand Menan. The captain
of the seized vessel says that he ran in for bait, while
the English say that he was fishing there. The case
will be tried at the Admiralty Court at St. John's.
The St. John's New Brunswicher of the 26th says,
that Mr. Websterlabours under a mistake when he
gives the impression by his circular that her Majesty's
Government is about to enforce the convention strictly,
according to the opinion of the law officers of England.
Such the .News believes is not the case. For some
years past there has been a tacit understanding that
American fishing-vessels should only be excluded
from those bays and inlets of the coast which are less
than six miles wide, and within which the American
vessels could not of course fish unless within three
miles of the land on either side. To do this the News
thinks will be Sufficient, as nearly all the American
vessels are,in' the habit of fishing near the shore during
theibest of the fishing season.
It was said that a large fleet of fishing vessels would
sail from the seacoast towns of Massachusetts as soon
as they were assured of protection against the British
cruisers.
In the Senate, on the 27th, the Bill making appro.
priatiod for; the construction of a ship canal around
the Falls of St. Mary was taken up. Mr. Toucey
said he would vote for the Bill, because this canal was
necessary for the defence of the country. Mr. Bell
saw no reason why this improvement should be
singled out and all the others rejected. He denied
that it was necessary for the defence of the country.
In case of a war with Great Britain, that region of
the country would need no defence. Great Britain
would not= pretend to hold it against the vast popula-
tion of the United States in that quarter. He pur-
sued the subject further, contending that other
works of improvement should not be delayed. He
moved the Bill be laid on the table. Mr. Butler
desired
the whole subject of internal improvements
to be discussed. Mr. Casa said that the friends of the
Bill would show its importance. The Bill was
postponed.
The Democrats had a grand demonstration on the
ta6th, on which day the delegates from New York
and its vicinity proceeded in 15 steamboats to New-
bury, some 60 miles up the North River, for the
purpose of attending the great ratification meeting,
Accordiig to the Herald, some thousands of people
were left behind owing to the incapacity of the
steamers to carry any more passengers. The meeting
at Newbury was very unanimous, and the nomination
of Pierce and King was ratified with enthusiasm.
