THE HERRING FISHERY. -- The Herring
Fishery, at Stronsay (Orkney); has proved uncommonly pro-
ductive this season, and has fully answered both in earliness
and abundance the expectations of the curers, who made trial of
this new station. It is likely to become one of the most im-
portant in the North, as from the early appearance of the fish,
the curer, after the fishing at Stronsay, has still the full season
before him for the fishing at Wick, Cromarty, or other stations
on the East coast. Thirty sail of vessels from various parts of
the kingdom sailed from Stronsay the first week of August;
with full cargoes, purchased from the Orkney fishermen at the
moderate rate of ss. per cran. The harbour is so safe and land-
locked, that the vessels are laid on the shore, and converted
into warehouses during the fishing; and the beach is so ex-
tensive, that each curer has the necessary accommodation at
little or no expense. The importance of this station was first
pointed out to the public through the medium of this paper. It
is pleasing to observe, that the beneficial influence of the press
is felt now in those extremities of the Empire, and has been
the means of extending to thousands the benefits of active em-
ployment in the fishery.—( Inverness Journal.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR, Viscount SIDMOUTH,
and Sir CHAS. LONG, had audiences of his MA-
JESTY yesterday. _ _

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office in Down-
ing-street, which was attended by the LORD
CHANCELLOR, Earl of LIVERPOOL, Viscount Sr n-
MOUTII, Mr. PEEL, Earl BATHURST, the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Viscount MELVILLE,
Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST, Mr. F. ROBINSON. The
Council broke up at a quarter past four o'clock.
General Pozzo or BORGO, Russian Ambas-
sador at the Court of France, is to leave Paris on
the 27th inst. for the Congress of Vienna, ac-
companied by his Secretary of Legation, the
Chevalier Di PAGENPOLE.

It is now said that the Duke of WELLINGTON
is to set out for Vienna on Saturday next, ac-
companied by Lord CLANWILLIAM as his Secretary.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the East India House, when CHARLES MILLS,
jun. Esq. took the usual oaths and his seat as
a Director, in the room of JOHN INGLIS, Esq.
deceased.

Our Readers may recollect the great discon-
tent excited among the labourers in Norfolk and
Suffolk, by the use of thrashing machines in those
great agricultural counties. This discontent ma-
nifested itself in various acts of violence. The
labourers assembled in numbers, who traversed
the country in search of their enemy, the trash-
ing machines, which they destroyed wherever
found. Many of the rioters were indicted at
the Norfolk and Bury Sessions, and being found
guilty, were sentenced to imprisonment for va-
rious terms. It appears, however, that the coun-
try gentlemen, apprehending a renewal of these
disturbances in the ensuing winter, and anxious
to afford relief to the labourers, are taking
steps to remove the cause of their discon-
tent. Sir H. BUNBURY, Bart. has sent a cir-
cular to his tenantry in Suffolk, recommend-
ing them to abstain from the use of thrash-
ing machines during the ensuing winter. The
occupiers of land in the parishes of Met-
field and Marlesford, in order to keep the la-
bourers employed during the winter, have an-
nounced their determination not to use any thrash-
ing machines. A numerous meeting of Hoxne
Hundred has agreed to a similar resolution.—
These examples will probably lead to the gene-
ral disuse of these machines, and the agricultu-
ral labourers will in consequence recover employ-
ment in the same proportion.
The only impediment to making an excellent
road from the northern part of Hampshire, into
Sussex, by way of Basingstoke and Midhurst,
appears to be the want of immediate funds, and
an Act of Parliament, either to extend the
powers of the Commissioners under tne Ports-
mouth Road Act, or to establish a new trust, to
embrace both the road from Alton, as well as
from Alresford to Petersfield. It appears that
the Trustees of the St. Albans, Bilston, and
Wolverhampton Roads, and in various other dis-
tricts, have borrowed money of the Exchequer
Bill Commissioners, for the improvement of these
roads; and there is no doubt but that they would
lend an adequate sum to make the communica-
tion complete between Hampshire and Sussex,
which is now so much wanted, from the great
intercourse with the Sussex Coast.—( Hampshire
Chronicle.)
Two Russian peasants, lately employed in ex-
cavating the foundations of the castle of Old
Rasan, on the river Occa, formerly the seat of a
reigning Prince, found thirty-five golden orna-
ments, set with pearls, amethysts, emeralds, and
crystals, and having Greek and Sclavonian in-
scriptions. They weighed upwards of five
pounds.
