We have more than once had occasion to al

lode to the great success of the salmon fishing. on the
Forth. Of late the take of fish has been greater than for
many years past. On Saturday the boats belonging to the
Magistrates caught nearly 170 salmon and grilse', which
weighed about 1,400 lbs. ; and on Tuesday the take
weighed 900 lbs. It has been frequently remarked that
wet summers are always capital fishing seasons, nor is the
present likely to prove an exception to the rule. Salmon
has been selling in town at 9d. and 10d. per lb., and
grilses at od. and 7d. It would appear, however, that it
It only in the stations around and above Stirling► that the
fishings have been so very successful, as about Kincardine,
Dunmore, Airth, Cukor', and other stations on the estuary,
the take of fish this year is below an average, and has been
worse than usual of late...—Slirling Journal.

Privilege of Parliament—a mode of expres-
sion which seems to comprehend the exemption of Mem-
bers from such judicial proceedings as impede their Parlia-
mentary functions, together with an exclusive jurisdiction
of either House over offences, whether by their own Mem-
bers, or by others, which peculiarly and manifestly tend
to impair the authority and obstruct the duties of Parlia-
ment—a principle in later times unpopular, but which
was undoubtedly for ages the coat-ef•mail under cover of
which the Commons marched through so many fierce and
puissant foes—owed its origin to the famous instance of
THORP; the Speaker ; iw which the Judges declared,
" That they would not determine the privilege of the High
Court of Parliament, of which the knowledge belongeth
to the Lord. of Parliament, and not the Justices,"---

In August, 1829, there appeared in the French
Globe an article on the late French Ministry, which was
said, in the private circles in Paris, to be from the pen of
the Duke de BROGLIE. It contains a prediction of the il-
legal and arbitrary course which the late infatuated Mi.
nistry would pursue, and of the successful resistance with
which it would be met by the insulted nation. The pre.
diction has been so singularly verified by the events, that
one might almost be justified in supposing that it had been
arranged for many months previously to the bursting forth
Of the late revolution, that the attack upon the liberty of
the Press should be the signal fur launching its thunder-
bolts against those who bad been guilty of so infamous a
dereliction of duty to themselves, their country, and their
Kim We subjoin extracts from the article of which we
have been speaking. The writer asks, " Will the Mi-
nistry be long formidable? and what must it do to become
so? These are terrible questions, which France puts with
anxiety, and of which she awaits the solution in agony._
Hitherto we know nothiag but the projects of the party.
The principal of these would be to change the elective
system, if not by a law, at least by an ordinance. In
order to succeed in it, if the liberty of the Press stands in
the way, the censorship will be re-established—still by an
ordinance : and if such boldness should find obstacles in
the law, recount) would be had to a force above the law.
Absolute power would be restored by usurpation." It is
not often that men are fools enough to take a lesson from
their enemies : hut it really does seem as if the late
Ministers had determined to shape their political course
after the chart which the Duke de liaaGunt here laid be-
fore them. The Duke shortlypuo someterwhaardris dayspryoceeet

enough, notwithstanding this scarcely disguised threat of
resistance, to lay hands upon it; and Europe still rings
with the triumphant shouts with which France arose and
avenged the insult.
