by some very fine tributary streams so far as salmon
culture is concerned, and among his other feats, and
to make assurance doubly sure, Mr. Ashworth, in
addition to sowing salmon eggs in barren rivers as
he would sow wheat in a fold, transports the live
fish from stream to stream. Mr. Miller, the fishery
superintendent, conveyed 40 adult salmon in a tub
a distance of 20 miles, in order to place them in the
River Robe, a tributary to Lough Mask, a lough
which, by means of the cut connecting it with Lough
Corrib, has now a communication with the sea, an
object that is highly essential to salmon life; and
the success of Mr. Ashworth's experiments was ac-
knowledged to be complete when the smolts were
seen migrating to the sea in April last. On the
principle, then, of making a blade of corn grow
where one never grew before, the proprietors of the
Irish fisheries are certainly national benefactors;
With reference to the article on " Fish Culture
in France" which recently appeared in The Sun, it
may be as well to state here that the French people
eat all kinds of fish, whether they be from the sea,
the river, the leke, or the canal. In Scotland and
Ireland the salmon only is bred artificially, because
it is a valuable and money yielding animal, and no
o'"

.her fish is regarded in that country as being of
value except for sport. In France large quantities
of eels are bred and eaten, but in Scotland, and in
some parts of England the people have such a hor-
ror of that fish that they will not touch it. This
of course is a mere prejudice, as the eel is good for
food in a very high degree. In all Catholic coun-
tries there are so many fast days that fish food
becomes to the people an essential article of diet ;
in France this is so, and the consequence is that a
good many private amateurs in pisciculture are to
be found throughout the empire, but the mission of
the French Government in connection with fish cul-
ture is apparently to meddle only with the rearing
and acclimatising of the mora valuable fishes. It
would be a waste of energy for the authorities at
Huningue to commence the culture of the carp or
perch. In this Protestant country there is no de-
mand for the commoner river or lake fishes, except
for the purposes of sport; and with one or two ex-
ceptions, such as the Lochleven trout, the charr,
&c., there is no commerce carried on in these fishes.
One has but to visit the fish market at Paris to ob-
serve that all kinds of fresh-water fish and river
crustacre a are there ranked as saleable and largely
purchased.
Some schemes for the extension of pisciculture in
England are now being matured. Dr. Buckland
has himself described in a lecture (reported in the
Times) his experiments of fish hatchicg in the
Thames ; how they will succeed must be left to time
to develope. If a great series of breeding ponds
were constructed to feed the Severn, it would tend
to the multiplication of our finest salmon, and
assuredly raise the fish rental of that fine river to a
very high point.

PROCLAMATION OF KING CHRISTIAN TO
THE ARMY.
HAMBURG, JAN. 5.

King Christian has issued a proclamation to the
Danish army. It says :

" The New Year finds you in arms for the defence
of your fatherland, and your King is, therefore,
among you. I have entered upon the full inherit-
ance of my predecessor in love to our native land.
Our motto is the honour of our country, and it shall
be upLeld with peace, or if requisite by force of
arms. No life is too costly for the salvation of the
fatherland. From the former struggle the army
has retained experienced leaders, whom the young
troops will now follow with enthusiasm. Courage,
not numbers, above all, unhesitating military obe-
dience, in all cases lead to victory."

His Majesty concluded by saying he should soo❑
g'adly visit the different divisions of the troops.
His Majesty was to review a large portion of the
army on the 3d, and was to leave for Fredrickstadt
yesterday.

Advices from Copenhagen state that it is gene-
rally believed in the capital a French and also an
English fleet will soon appear in the Danish waters.

RENDSBURG, JAN. 4.

Hanoverian and Austrian pioneers, with a small
pontoon train, have arrived here. It is said they
will be employed in erecting defences.
It is reported that the Danish pioneers have left
the "Kronenwerk" with instructions to blow up
the bridges next the sluice-bridge immediately upon
the outbreak of hostilities.

Contracts have been made for supplying provi-
sions to the Federal troops.

to lavatories, baths, and women's washing-rooms,
and there will be an abundant supply of water to
all parts of the building, while gas will be laid on

The promotion of Major Milward to the impor-
tant post of Assist.-Director of Ordnance was yes-
terday officially announced at Woolwich. Major
Milward has fulfilled the duties of Garrison Major
of Brinde at Woolwich during the last five years
in a manner which has elicited on various occasions
the unqualified approbation of the Field-Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief and the commendation of the
War Department. He was appointed to his present
post on his return from the expedition in China, in
which he commanded a battery of Armstrong guns
with acknowledged success. He will enter upon
his new duties at the War Department on the 15th
inst., and will leave Woolwich amid general regret.
Major Hay, now commanding C troop of the Royal
Horse Artillery, and who served with the Royal
Artillery in China as Assist.-Adj t.-Gen., is appointed
to succeed Major Milward at Woolwich.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day,

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Adelaide Hyde, Emma White, and Henry M'Cormack
were indicted for highway robbery, committed on the per-
son of Harriet Pease.

The prosecutrix met the prisoners accidentally near
Cranbourne-passage, when an angry dis3ussion arose, and
ultimately the prisoners asked the prosecutrix whether they
were thieves. She said they knew best themselves whether
they were so, which led to a quarrel, during which she was
robbed of her purse containing 3s. A constable came up,
when the three prisoners were taken into custody, but not
before she was violently assaulted, and also were the police-
constables.

The jury acquitted the prisoners of the robbery.
They were then indicted for the assault. The former
evidence was repeated, when the jury found them guilty.
The police-constables gave all the prisoners a bad cha-
racter.

M'Cormack said the witnesses were mistaken as far as
he was concerned, for he was at work at Hampstead-road
when the assault took place.
The Recorder directed some inquiries to be made at the
place mentioned by the prisoner before he passed ,entence.
William Smith, a potman at the Roupell Arms, Lower
Charlton, was indicted for stealing a quantity of brandy,
rum, gin, two legs of pork, a leg of mutton, and half a
cheese, the property of his master.
The evidence was entirely circumstantial, and the prisoner
denied all knowledge of the robbery. Ho further stated
that he was in bed when the property was removed, and
instead of stealing the property of his master, he should
have done all in his power to protect it.
The jury acquitted the prisoner, and he was at once dis-

charged.
A man named Reeves was indicted, with certain other
persons not in custody, with robbing Henry Stevenson, the
captain of a trading vessel named the John Murray, of
Whitby, of £47.
The prosecutor, it appeared, met the prisoner and some
other people in Bermondsey, and after a little conversation
they adjourned to a public house where the captain insisted
on treating the whole of the people in front of the bar. They
then went to different other public houses in Tooley street,
and ultimately a row took place, when the purse of the pro-
secutor was stolen. The prisoner was present, and some of
the witnesses said that he was the person suspected of the
robbery, an from certain matters that took place after•
wards, he was taken into custody and charged with the
offence.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jan. 4.

High mass at the Catholic Cathedral, Marl-
borough-street, on Sundays, is always an imposing
ceremony. The Archbishop, mitred, crosier in hand,
seated on his throne i❑ the sanctuary ; the attendant
priests in robe and vestment; students of Holy Cross
in soutan ; and assistant clerks in white and scarlet,
flitting about before the krand altar in the different
portions of the service--incense, wax-light, bell-
toning, and music—all combine to render it, extrin
sically and independently of the sacredness of its
object, an ffiir of moment, attracting very frequently
numbers of persons of other religious persuasions
who come especially to enjoy the vocal and instru-
mental music, which are of a superior order. But on
yesterday, the first Sunday in the new year, there
was the additional attraction of the new Lord Mayor
attending in State. He was accompanied by the
Lady Mayoress, his chaplain, the Rev, Mr.
O'Connell, of St. Michan's ; his secretary, who is
also his brother in-law; Mr. Michael Angelo Hayes,
the distinguished artist; and by five of his prin-
cipal officers, who are all Catholics. A troop of
horse police formed his escort. The carriages which
composed the cortege penetrated with difficulty
through the dense crowd to the grand entrance
of the cathedral, which is opposite to the
grounds of the National Board of Education.
The vast crowds which blocked up the street
received his lordship, not in any noisy or de
monstrative manner, but orderly and respectfully.
The Lord Mayor, with commendable good taste,
entered the chapel house, where he unrobed unseen,
and appeared quietly and becomingly in the church
in his ordinary court dress and chain of office. He
sat within the sanctuary in a chair of state on a
raised dais, alongside the bishop's throne, a step
lower than it, and had his chaplain on his tight.
Outside the rails of the sanctuary, on a cleared
space richly carpeted, chairs covered with crimson
cloth were arranged for the Lady M iyoress, her sis-
ter, Mrs. Angelo Hayes, and other ladies members
of his lordship's family, and behind them the offi-
cers of the Lord Mayor, namely, the Secretary, the
Swordbearer, the City Marshal, the High Con-
stable, and the officer of Mace. An impressive ser-
mon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. Mr
Purcell, of Allhallows, and on coming out of the
church and entering his carriage, the Lord Mayor
was loudly cheered.

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Great firmness still continues to be the charac-
teristic of the discount market, though the appli-
cations for accommodation have been now mate-
rially diminished. The enquiry latterly became
active through the provision that traders had had
to make for liquidating their bills, which were
due at the end of the year, as well as on the 4th,
and these arrangements having been concluded the
rates are now lit-pt up because there is an idea ♦ery
generally entertained that in addition to the require-
ments of the Bank of France, sovereigns will be de-
spatched to the Brazils. The rate prices for the
best three months' bills remain at 611, and 61 per
cent.

About £3,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday.
The Pera, which left yesterday with the India
and China mails, conveyed £80,078 in specie.
The Canada has arrived from America with
£27,128.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Friday next a special settling day in the
shares of the National Bank of Liverpool (new), to
be marked in the official lists, and the Lundy
Granite Company and the Star and Garter Hotel
Company, to be marked in the twice a week list
only.

Arrangements are in progress for the establish-
ment of a new line of steamships between Liverpool
and Montreal, whare a company has been formed
for the purpose, with a capital of £500,000 sterling.
Tnere is to be a weekly communication with Liver-
pool, and a fortnightly or monthly service with
London. The success of the Glasgow and Montreal
lines, and the requirements of trade, are stated to
justify the introduction of the project.

ROBBERY AT A. LICENSED VICTUALLERS. -- Ann
Macarthy, in the service of Mr. Robert Lemon, of the
Crown Tavern, Cranbourne-passage, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with robbing her employer of some spirits.

From the evidence of Mr. George Lemon, son of the pro-
secutor, it appeared that this morning about 7 o'clock, while
lying on the sofa in the bar parlour, where he had placed
himself for the purpose of watching the bar, in consequence
of money being missed from the till every morning, he
heard the window of the room open, and on looking up saw
the prisoner. She instantly retreated on perceiving him,
but on going to her bedroom shortly after with a constable
two bottles of spirits taken from the bar were found in the
prisoner's dress pockets, and on being taxed with taking
them she admitted doing so.

_
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor (Mr. Robert
Lemon) said the prisoner had only been in his service about
five weeks, and that he had been seriously robbed while she
had been in his service.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was one of the worst class of rob-
beries, as the prisoner lived in the house, and trust was
therefore placed in her.
Committed for two months with hard labour.

The estimated cost of the proposed new line, from the

This company proposes to establish a superannuation and

THE HIGHLAND RAILWAYS.—At a meeting of
the directors of the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Com-
pany held on Tuasday, it was resolved to lay down a doubly
line of railway between Inverness and Forree. The in-
creasing traffic, and the great ant icipit ed increase next year,
render this necessary, and we need hardly point out the
great convenience this increase of acccmniodation will off trd
to the public and to the ordinary passenger traffic. The
detention of a goods train, or any other accidental obstacle
on the line, will no longer have the elect of delaying all
the trains between north and south. The section between
Inverness and Dalcross is to be commenced forthwith, All
the bridges along the line, except that across the Findhorn,
were originally constructed with a view co ultimately laying
' down a double line.—lnverness Courier.

SIX BOYS DROWNED,

On Sunday three boys were drowned in the Bold
Venture Lodge, Over Darwen, and two others nar-
rowly escaped a similar fate. It seems that a num-
ber of boys and young men were sliding and skating
on the ice, and while several of them crowded on
one part the ice broke. In the rush which followed
five boys fell into the water. S3veral of the by-
standers immediately rendered all the aid they could,
but only two of the boys were rescued. The other
three very suddenly disappeared under the ice, and
the most vigilant efforts failing to rescue their
bodies, the police were communicated with, and a
large portion of the ice broken. The lodge:was
then dragged, and after a search of nearly two hours
the bodies were recovered. The names of the boys
are George Fish, 13; James Bennett, 11; and Eli
Mather, 14.
A similar accident occurred at Macclesfield on the
same day. A number of boys ventured on the ice
on a pool in Park-lane, Macclesfield, which was not
an inch in thickness. One of them, named Eli
Atkins, a youth 14 years of age, slid on till some 30
yards from the side, followed by two younger boys,
John Edwin Hilton, aged 13, and William Burgess,
aged 12. Suddenly the ice at the spot which Atkins
had reached broke, and the little fellow was plunged
into the water. His two playfellows went to his
assistance, standing on either side of the hole from
which Atkins was struggling to extricate himself.
But the ice was not strong enough to sustain their
weight, and they too fell into the water, and disap-
peared immediately. Atkins still continued
struggling, but was unable to get more than his
elbows above the ice. A rope was thrown to him,
which he seized with his mouth; but he sank back
exhausted, leaving some of his teeth embedded in
the rope which ha had seized iu the last struggle for
life.

THE NEW DANISH MINISTRY.

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 31.
The Berlingske Fidende of to-day says We
have reason to believe that the Ministry, although
not yet definitively settled, has been constituted to-
day as follows :
" Bishop Monrod, President of the Connell and
Finauce Minister; Colonel Lundbye, Minister of
War; Captain Liitken, Minister of Marine; Bishop
Engelstoft, Minister for Public Worship and Edu-
cation; Dr. Casse, Minister of Justice; State
Councillor Nutzhorn,
Minister of the Interior.
Until the definitive organisation of the Cabinet,
President of the Council and Finance Minister.
Bishop Mon rad will undertake the portfolio of
Foreign Affairs and for matters relating to Hol-
stein, while Austmann Simony will assume the
Ministry for Schleswig.
It is reported that the
late Finance Minister Fenger will resume
the direction of the entire Finance Depart-
ment. Chamberlain
Quaader the Danish Am-
bassador in Berlin, is said to have been tele-
graphed for. As soon as the Ministry is constituted
the King intends visiting the army."
The general opinion in Copenhagen is that the
new Ministry contains already the elements of dis-
solution, and will not hold long together. The soul
of the whole combination is the new Premier,
hitherto Minister of Public Worship. Mourad
first became conspicuous in 1848, and was at that
time a comrade of Orla Lehmann, Clausen, &c.,
only a more decided Democrat. After that
time he became Minister of Education.
Latterly he has appeared to hold aloof from the
Eider Dane party, and to incline towards those who
advocate an undivided State ( Gesanunt Staats
partez). The remainder of the new Cabinet, with
the exception of Lundbye and Casse, who belonged
to the former Ministry, are nearly all quite un-
known to political fame. Simony constitutes an
exception. He has been several times in the Cabinet,
and enjoyed the especial confidence of the late King.
It is not yet known whether the new Cabinet wilt
advice the withdrawal of the Constitution of the

15th November, incorporating Schleswig with

Denmark.

PRUSSIA.
THE DEBATE UPON THE LOAN.
BERLIN, JAN. 5.

At the meeting of the committee upon the loan
in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, Herr von
Bismark repeatedly advocated free action for the
policy of the Government. He hoped, in conclusion,
that the House would rather grant the means re-
quested than compel theGovernmen to obtain them
by its own authority.
The debate was adjourned.
London, England, 1864-01-05

Incited, no doubt by the success of the Stormon

field experiments, the lessee of a salmon fishery on
the River ligie, in Banffshire, has commenced
breeding on a small scale: He hes modelled his
ponds on those near Perth, and has provided ac-
commodation for the hatching of 40,000 eggs. This
experiment being as yet only in its infancy need
not be further alluded to at present.
We know of another experiment in salmon breed-
ing, now being carried on in the stewartry of Kirk-
cudbright, also in Scotland; but it is not yet ripe
for description.
But the best operations in salmon breeding are
being carried on in Ireland. They are the best as
regards their magnitude, and in the fact of their
having introduced salmon into rivers which were
formerly inaccessible to that fish. The fisheries we
allude to are those of the Messrs. Ashworth, who
take great interest in all questions relating to pisci-
culture and the natural history of all kinds of fish,
and who have by means of artificial breeding in-
created the money value of their fisheries twentyfold.
One of their experiments, a most economical one it
must be confessed, consisted in stocking a suite of
breeding-boxes with nearly 800,000 eggs at a cost of
£lB sterling. But the great merit of these gentlemen
consists in their having convertel Lough Mask and
Carra into salmon ponds—ponds embracing an area
of 25,000 acres of water. A large cut has been made
through a natural barrier of rocks which prevented
the ascent of the salmon to a higher point than
Lough Corrib, and Mr. Thomas Ashworth expects in
a short time that the salmon will be abundant in this
new field of water. The fish passage alluded to
above is nearly two miles in length, and was con-
structed at an expense of about £7OO, but an ample
interest will in due time be returned both for this
outlay and for the yearly expenses of the whole
fishery. Mr. Ashworth says himself that it is
much more profitable to breed salmon than sheep.
Mr. Ashworth is still hard at work. In a recent
communication he says—" We are now artificially
propagating salmon as usual by collecting the ova
and placing it in rills and ponds above Lough Mask."
These Galway fisheries extend over a large tract of
country, the Loughs of Mssk and Csrra being fed

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jan. 4.

High mass at the Catholic Cathedral, Marl-
borough-street, on Sundays, is always an imposing
ceremony. The Archbishop, mitred, crosier in hand,
seated on his throne in the sanctuary ; the attendant
priests in robe and vestment ; students of Holy Cross
in soutan ; and assistant clerks in white and scarlet,
flitting about before the grand altar in the different
Portions of the service—incense, wax-light, bell-
toning, and music—all combine to render it, extrin
sically and independently of the sacredness of its
object, an e ffiir of moment, attracting very frequently
numbers of persons of other religious persuasions
who come especially to enjoy the vocal and instru-
mental music, which are of a superior order. But on
yesterday, the first Sunday in the new year, there
was the additional attraction of the new Lord Mayor
attending in State. He was accompanied by the
Lady Mayoress, his chaplain, the Rev. Mr.
O'Connell, of St. Michan's ; his secretary, who is
also his brother in-law; Mr. Michael Angelo Hayes,
the distinguished artist; and by five of his prin-
cipal officers, who are all Catholics. A troop of
horse police formed his escort. The carriages which
composed the cortege penetrated with difficulty
through the dense crowd to the grand entrance
of the cathedral, which is opposite to the
grounds of the National Board of Education.
The vast crowds which blocked up the street
received his lordship, not in any noisy or de
monstrative manner, but orderly and respectfully.
The Lord Mayor, with commendable good taste,
entered the chapel hcuse, where he unrobed unseen,
and appeared quietly and becomingly in the church
in his ordinary court dress and chain of office. He
sat within the sanctuary in a chair of state on a
raised dais, alongside the bishop's throne, a step
lower than it, and had his chaplain on his light.
Outside the rails of the sanctuary, on a cleared
space richly carpeted, chairs covered with crimson
cloth were arranged for the Lady Mayoress, her sis-
ter, Mrs. Angelo Hayes, and other ladies members
of his lordship's family, and behind them the offi-
cers of the Lord Mayor, namely, the Secretary, the
Swordbearer, the City Marshal, the High Con-
stable, and the officer of Mace. An impressive ser-
mon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. Mr
Purcell, of Allhallows, and on coming out of the
church and entering his carriage, the Lord Mayor
was loudly cheered.

Brutal Assault by a Policeman at Bramley,

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.

The island called l'Etang de Diane, near the
eastern coast of Corsica, is exclusively composed of
oyster shells mixed up with the remains of certain
other molluscs which are not edible: There is a
tradition in the country, according to which the
island at the time of the Romans carried on a brisk
trade with the continent in pickled oysters, and
all the shells were thrown into the sea at that spot.
Whether this be true or not, certain it is that in
Denmark and other parts of the shores of the Baltic
there are similar accumulations of sea shells, all
considered to be the work of human hands ; nay,
Professors Worsae and Steenstrup are clearly of.
opinion, that they date from the first inhabitants of
Europe, whom they take to have been contemporary
with the great xnammalia, such as the .Elephas
prinzigenius, which many geologists stili persist i❑
considering as much anterior to the hun.an race.
Vegetable ivory, in contacl with concentrated
sulphuric acid, takes a splendid red colour, almost
qual to magenta. At first it is pink, but gradually
becomes deeper until it attains a purple when the
acid has been allowed to act for twelve hours.—ln a
recent lecture delivered by Dr. Pigeaux at the
Jardin d'Acclimatation, we find some useful remarks
on the subject of noxious creatures. Those birds
which are particularly noted for the ravages they
commit in corn fields are, on the other hand, ex-
tremely useful in exterminating insects. Hence Dr.
Pigeaux recommends that their nests and eggs be
respected, but that a corrective be applied to their
excessive fecundity by destroying a part of them in
autumn and winter. As to insects, even those which
are considered noxious are useful in a certain point
of view, inasmuch as they chiefly attack such plants
as are originally diseased or weakened by some
peculiar cause, whereby they promote the return of
their constituent elements to the common fertilising
stock, upon which the fruitfulness of crops and the
consequent support of animal life depends. If by
any accident the whole of the insect word were
swept away at one blow, the consequence would
be the most horrible famine ever witnessed.—

NORTH-EASTERN.

The proposed Leeds Extension line of this company, de.
signed to rediloe the distance between Leeds and York and
Hull,is likely to b q vigorously opposed in Parliament. The
company proposes to extend the Leeds and Selby line
destroying a great amount of p!operty, and crossing some
through the heart of the town of Leeds to a new station,
of the best streets by bridges. The nhabitants appear de-
termined to resist the invader, and the 1111gYor is called upon

The proposed new line, according to the plans and-sec-

tions deposited, is to commence in the parish of Kingston,
at Orchard-road, and terminate in St. Mary, Lambeth, by
a junction. with the London, Chatham, and Dover at Aare-
lane and at Clapham. The proposed capital is £264,000,
