LONDON PAVILION MUSIC HALL.—Messrs Loibl
and Sonnhammer, the proprietors of this establishment,
cater with great success for the entertainment of the public.
Operatic selections from '' Masaniello," " Trovatore," "La
Sonnambula," !cc , are presented in a very complete form,
and under very able direction. In the comic branch of the
entertainment the London Pavilion fully maintains its
ground, with the aid of Mr. Sam Collins, Mr. Fred, French,
and Messrs. Hildebrandt and Ormond. The Spanish
dancers agreeably diversify the entertainments by their
dances in picturesque national costume ; while little Corelli
continues her wonderful exhibitions of posturing and
climbing.
LEITH.—STEAMERS FOR AUSTRALIA AND THE
CONFEDERATE STATES.—Two fine iron steamers belonging
to Leith, which have just been long enough at sea to test
them thoroughly, have been sold for foreign service. One
is a screw steamer, to be sent out to Australia, and the
other is the Britannia, well known in the Newcastle and
Leith trade as a fast paddle steamer. She has been bought
for a party in the Confederate States of America. Rumour
says she is intended for the Government of these States.
Being able to steam at 18 knots an hour, she will have a
good chance of running the blockade.—Scotsman,

THE SALMON FISHERIES OF CUMBERLAND.—The
beneficial results of the English Salmon Fisheries Act
passed last year have been experienced in a marked degree
this season in Cumberland. In the Eden the lessees of the
fisheries reaped the advantage of the abolition of the stake
nets on the English shore of the Solway Frith, and took
large quantities of salmon in the early part of the year ; but
no very wonderful exploits were performed with the rod
till the last week of the season, which closed after Nov. 1.
The weather was not favourable for rod-fishing during the
greater part of the year ; but the extended weekly close
time for nets gave anglers a better chance when opportu-
nity occurred for trying their luck. The nets having been
thrown off, according to the provisions of the new act, on
the Ist September, the salmon, no longer stopped by the
stake nets in the estuary, had a free run, and between that
time and the close of the rod-fishing season on the Ist Nov.
the river was described as angleis as " swarming with fish."
On the last two or three days of the season anglers were
very successful in the Eden, many capturing five salmon in
a day, varying from 81b to 251 b. From the Derwent the re-
ports are equally gratifying, the salmon never having been
so plentiful since the days when it was a common article
of food. On Saturday, the Ist, one gentleman captured
' four salmon, weighing 701 b., and there were several others
caught weighing about 201 b. A great many more were
hooked, which succeeded in getting off again ; and, of course,
imagination gave fabulous dimensions to some of these. An
obstruction in the Derwent at Fitz Weir is now about to be
rendered passable to the breeding fish, and if poaching can
be kept down the rivers will in a very few years be restored
to their pristine productiveness.

PARLIAMENTARYCHANGES.—Mthough only three
months have elapsed since the session of 1862 was brought
to a close, there have been within that period several im-
portant Parliamentary changes. In the House of Lords
Dr. Sumner is succeeded by Dr. Longley in the Arch-
bishopric, of Canterbury, while Dr. Thomson will be en-
titled to take his seat as Archbishop of York. Early in
September the Earl of Harrington died, and is succeeded
in the peerage by his son, Lord Petersham, who, being only
17 years of age, will not be able for some years to take his
seat. The Earl of Ellesmere died on the 19th of Septem-
ber, and is succeeded by his son, Viscount Brackley, who
is also a minor, having been born in 1847. Lord Sherborne
died on the 19th of October, and is succeeded by his son,
the Hon. James Henry Legge. By the death of Lord Dun-
gannon an Irish peerage became vacant. Last month Lord
Arundell of Wardour died, and is succeeded by the Hon.
John Francis Arundell. A British peerage has within the
last few days become extinct by the death of the Marquis
of Breadalliane. In the House of Commons several changes
have taken place. On the day of the prorogation Mr.t
Denis William Pack Beresford was elected for the county
of Carlow, in the room of Mr. William M'Clinti‘oicrh
