THE FISHERIES. —This season theGusperesux and Salmon
fishers on our River have not met with much success, espe-
civil). the former ; in fact, from the intelligence we have been
able' to glean,
,the fisheries generally on the coast have yielded
but a very poor return to thrrse engaged in them. It does
appear that our fisheries, year after year, become less produc-
tive; and if something be not done by the Government to
protect, and the Legislature to encoura7e arid forster them,
they will of n,'c .s.rity.have to be abandoned.
Great and very just complaints are made of the privileges
enjoyed by the American fisher men, who are to be found in all
directions in the Gulph ; they have a practice of cutting up
brit and throwing it in the deep water, this induces the fish
to remain there instead of pro:!eeding, as formerly, to the
the shorea in quest of th• canlin or other small fry. Willie
this system purAuetl the inhabitants residietz on the coast,
who principally &h in open boats, have but little chance of
pursuing this branch of bu•iiness with any degree of success.
TIIE FUNDS.

We have very few arrivals this morning, consequently to
the present time there is a great dearth of intelligence. The
reported negoc;ation for a Spanish loan of ten millions ster-
ling has entirely fallen to the ground this morning, and nothing
more is said about it.

Consols for th• Account,

A fine frigate of 46 guns, built at Bordeaux, by order
from the Chilian Government, and called the Chili, was
launched on Thursday last, in the presence of the civil, naval,
and military authorities, and an immense concourse of specta-
tors. Notwithstanding the early hour at which she was let slip
from the stocks, seven o'clock, it is stated that nearly 10,000
persons were admitted on the bridge alone, the receipts of
which on the occasion amounted to 550 fr. The Archbishop
of Bordeaux, who was present, on returning home, observing
woman had been thrown down and trampled on
that an aged
be
the crowd, and carried into a surgeon's shep, alighted from
csrriage, nod went to see her. Findity, that she was
much hurt, he sent her home in his carriage, while he went on
foot to his Palace.— Galignani's Messenger.
