HEnn INC; FISHERY.—The herring fishing commenced last
week in Caithness, and we are happy to say that it promises;
well. At the Hill market of Wick upwards of a thousand
women were engaged, and a.great number of men, at wages
equal to any that have been given for two seasons back. There
are rot so many boats at Wick as last year, but they are daily
arriving from several parts in the south. Some of the Wick
boats fished for a day or two with great success, having come in
with 30 and 40 cranes each. At Clyth and Lybster they have
also been very successful, the smaller description of boats hav-
ing caught from 10 to 16 and 20 cranes. The herring fishing
at Helmsdale has commenced with the greatest spirit. So early
as Wednesday of last week, upwards of two hundred excellent
boats, well manned, chiefly from the Frith of Forth, arrived at
Helmsdale and were making the most active preparation.
We have Lard since that they have been very suCcessful.

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 9

Our supplies are very abundant this morning, particularly of
Wheat, but the mealing trade excessively dull; the few sales
which were made were at a reduction from Monday's prices 2s.
or 3s. per quarter, and no disposition to purchase largely at.
that reduction. Little doing in ary other Grain, and they re-
main nearly as on Monday.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, AUG.
There was a good supply this morning at market of all de-
scriptions of Cattle, and the prices of all kinds of meat may
be quoted as per last Monday. The trade appears heavy, the
butchers not purchasing freely.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
A letter from Trieste, dated the 23d ult. received via Vienna,
mentions that at Constantinople and at Smyrna, scenes of
the most horrible butchery of the Greeks were reported to
have taken place as soon as the defeat of the Turkish fleet at.
Chesme had been made public. The SULTAN and the•Govern-
ment,are said to have taken a leading part in these exces.es.
An Express arrived this forenoon from Paris. It is not u rider-
stood,to have brought any political news of importance. The
Renter; on Tuesday last there advanced to 92. N. Here, this
day, they are worth 92. 75. with the Exchange at 25.40. Prus-
sian Fives are 89, and Mr. RoTHSCIIILD'S New Prussian

Austrian Metallic Fives are 781 a 794. Columbian Sixes, 86i
In the Chili Loan there has again been a considerable advance.
—The Bonds have been sold as high as 82i, and a great deal of
business has been done in these Secnrines.' The' demand .for
British Funds is better than it has been for some days.—

the settlement on the 28th curt. are 80. t g The failure of an old
and very eminent establishment in the City, owing to the sud-
den death of the leading partner, has occasioned the deepest
regret. It is feared that much inconvenience, if not distress, to
many industrious families will be the consequ ence.—(llf or fling

In the district of St. Pierre-sur-Dives, a dispute
having arisen between two individuals who wen playing at
skittles, one of them, pretending he had won the game, took pos-
session of the stakes.—The other denied his right to them, and,
anxious for the restitution of his money, seized the watch of
his opponent, who, highly enraged at this act, declared he
would shoot him if the watch was not immediately restored.
This threat proving, however, fruitless, he rushed out,
but soon returned armed with a gun, and taking aim at the
person who had his watch, once more declared his inten.
tion of firing if it were not returned. A thiid person,
who was present, and who had done every thing in his'
power to appease this madman, seeing him still persist in his
design, threw himself between the two disputants,. thinking
thereby to prevent mischief ; but unhappily at that momehc
the piece was discharged, and he fell a victim to his humanity.
The murderer, with several persons who were present, has
been arrested, and safely lodged in the prison of Caen.

EFFECTS OF BOXING.-Wednesday aftefnoon
about four o'clock, two young men were drinking together
at a public house, near Coventry-street, Haymarket, when,
in consequence of some high words, they proceeded into
the street to fight together • they continued doing so for
some time, when one of the combatants, named Galling,
gave the other a most tremendous blow on - the head,
which laid him senseless on the ground, in which state he
was carried to the Hospital. His antagonist was taken in
custody to Marlborough-street Office, before Mr. Rae, the Ma-
gistrate, when a surgeon's certificate was received, that there
were no hopes of the man's recovery ; and the prisoner was re-
manded, until his fate is known.

ANGLING.—Some time ago, two young gentle-
men of Dumfries, while fishing at Dalswinton
loch, having expended their stock of worms,
&c. had recourse to the expedient of picking' -
out the eyes of the dead perch, and attach-
ing them to their hooks—a bait which the
perch is known to take quite as readily as
any other. One of the perch caught in this
manner struggled so much when taken out
of the water, that the hook had no sooner been
loosened from its mouth than it came in contact
with one of its eyes, and actually tore it out.—
The pain occasioned by this accident only made
the fish struggle the harder, until at last it fairly-
slipped through the holder's fingers, and again
escaped to its native element. The disappointed
fisher, still retaining the eye of his aquatic fugi-
tive, adjusted it on the hook,' and again commit-
ted his line to the waters. After a very short
interval, on pulling up the line, he was astonish-
ed to find the identical perch that had eluded his
grasp a few minutes before, and which literally
perished by swallowing its own eye .I—(Dumfries

fiXTRAETS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,

August 9, 1522.

[MORNING lIERALD.3
;fi said that his Majesty will depart for
Edanrgh on Saturday. There can he no doubt
buitiii'Majety will be received With every de-
rotinstration of affection, bj all classes of his
ttialeity's Scotch subjk:ts. At the same time it
19 probable that the sort of reception will differ
very `materially. from the enthusiasm of the Irish,
when his Majesty last year visited that portion
'of his empire. The Scotch always appeared to
as to be a very different people from the Irish.
They might not live under the same Government
or belong to,the same dominions. Even in very
ordinary life, there is a striking difference. In
Ireland,' ask any one of the limer class of the
people the way any where, and the answer comes
almoSt before the question. Then he is all anx-
iety till he knows every thing about you and your
business ;. as soon as possible he will enter upon
a political subject, and make all sorts of inqui-
ries as to what was going on politically in Eng-
land, before the inquiring Englishman took his
departure. In Scotland, ask any one in common
life the way to a place,and after he has cautiously
ezed you for a few moments, his reply is," What's
your wall i" and—then, after being obliged to
ILA him,the question a second time,' and he has
lhus had an opportunity of well considering his
reply, he will direct you in the right path in the
most formal manner possible. There will then
be an end of the business. Ile. will not further
concern himself about the English inquirer or his
affairs..—Even in high life, it is surprising to ob-
serve the formality of the Scotch, both Gentle-
men and Ladies, in comparison with the volatility
of the Irish of the same class. In the middling
ranks much the same difference exists. Their pro-
cessions, their dinners, both public and private ;
their religious worship, and' indeed the manner'
in ivhich the shopkeepers, the merchants, the
raster manufacturers, down to the weaver, act,
in comparison with the Irish, is singular ; and
those only who have been in both countries, could
believe that there was such a difference. When
the King lands, we should not be -at all surprised,
if the huzzas of the people will be of quite
another description from the huzzas of the Irish.
In all probability, the. huzzas pf the one will be
well timed ; slow, and given with proper preci-
sion, and with a due observance of decorum to
his Majesty, keeping •in their minds the kingly
dignity; the other was full of enthusiastic hal-
iooings and antics of all descriptions.

[NEW TIMES.]
In consequence of a paragraph, which ap-
peared in some of the Morning Papers, it was
generally understood that his Majesty was to
embark this morning for Scotland. The town of
Greenwich, and the road leading to it from Lon-
don, were therefore crowded yesterday, with
persons desirous to view the preparations, and to
ascertain whether the embarkation was to take
place on the day mentioned. The quay imme-
diately opposite Greenwich hospital was co-
vered with spectators to a late hour in the even-
ing, as the great object of attraction, the Royal
Yacht, lies at anchor in that part of the River.
She is surrounded by a number of smaller vessels,
ready to accompany her on her departure. A
steam-beat, of very elegant construction, is' to
attend the Royal Yacht on her progress, to ob-
viate any inconvenience that may arise from con-
trary winds. The Pensioners in. the Hospital
were assembled yesterday, by order of the Go-
vernor, who gave directions' that they should
appear on Saturday, dressed in their best clothes,
ac 4 be in a state of readiness so early as five
eolock. As the tide will serve at nine, it is
eXpected that his Majesty • will be on board
about ten or eleven.

CMORNING

The trial at. Colmar seems to have made even
the Ministerialists ashamed ; for the Journal des
Debuts simply says, that " the audience of the
3011 'of July Was occupied by depositions which
May he locally interesting, but which at the dis-
tance at which we are, and for readers far from
t. 4,0 place of trial,: are not calculated to 'throw
a-n.y great light on the facts of the accusation."
we think, this might have been said of all
the testimony in the course of the trial that we
have 'been made 'acquainted with.—lt would,
ho*ever,' have been a cUriosity'to have seen some-
thing less important than the evidence of the first
dtqs of the trial, which the Parisian Papers did
report. V.Ye see, however, that the shadowy
nature of the evidence is admirably well ac-
centited—for by M. de La. Bourdonnaye, who
lays it down, that " the more extended plots be-
come, the fewer the traces which
,they leave be-.
hind:" flow alarming would be a plot of which
nii.traces would be to he found !
Ttly weund is great because it is so small!
then 'twoal be greater were it none at 6.11"'

[MORNING POST.]
The cruel and disgraceful treatment which the
English actors and actresses have received from
the ruffianly audience of the Theatre Porte St.
Martin, has awakened but one feeling among all
pr rties in this country—that of ineffable disgust',
r9deed, the conduct of the savage canaille, on
',that occaion,, was such as. precludes all -parleY
on thp subject, for nothing could excuse, much
less justify it. We may, however,, endeavour to
trace the causes of so brutal an outrage, and in
doing so we fear that, although the Liberaus
may, from their station in-society, be tho ma.
jority of the delinquents, it will appear all
parties are in spirit equally implicated. The
most operative cause will, in our opinion, be
found in the national hatred which the French

bear towards this country and its inhabitants.—
(4ey are known to be perhaps the most vain-
glorious race on the globe : they were so before
the Revolution, and Bonaparte's whole career
fostered that flimsy passion, until France seemed
to exist only to admire its own meretricious
eclat, and solicit the admiration of others.—
England has put down that inflated egotism,

and stripped the ‘g Great Nation " of its
tinsel celebrity, as well as plucked out its
stolen plumes, and returned them to their right-
ful owners. The battle of Waterloo was the
final triumph of right and justice over might and
profligacy ; and because our matchless valour
won it, and enabled us to replace the legitimate
Sovereign of France on his throne, we are hated.
But in acting thus we were not aggressors, nor
did we take advantage of our conquest to curtail
the fair proportions of that kingdom, or its
lawful rank among nations. We could not, how-
ever, restrain French military licentiousness
without treading upon French vanity, and the
last, not the first, is accordingly our crime ; for
we restored the Bourbons, whom the one and
indivisible majesty of the Republic had pro-
scribed. There is, therefore, as all visitors of that
country alto*, the deepest dislike cherished
among the people to every thing English, ex-
cept our money. They recollect that we led the
Armies of Europe to their capital ; a sin which
even the Ultras, who thus obtained a home and
a country (if we may believe the report of a
speech in the Chamber of Deputies a few days
back,) join the Jacobins in execrating. While
such national jealousy existed nothing could be
better calculated to inflame it than the introduc-
tion of English theatrical performances upon a
, French Stage.

[THE TIMES.]
The obstinacy of Ministers, in still withhold-
ing from Columbia and its allied States the re-
cognition of that independence which they have
so dearly and honourably won, becomes a sub-
ject of complaint among the merchants of Eng-
land, more strenuous, and we might say more in-
dignant, with every passing hour. The princi-
ples of justice, of wisdom, of irresistible policy,
on which this great measure stands recommend-
ed, are so obvious, that we should be ashamed
to repeat them, if they bad not hitherto
failed of all apparent influence over the
minds of those who ought to have been most
sensible of their value. Spanish America is
no longer Spanish. It is no more subject to Spain
than Holland is to Spain, or than England
is to Denmark. If this delicacy, or whatever
else it may be, towards the Court of Madrid, had
any solid foundation—if Spain had but the
shadow of a chance of ever again acquiring one
foot of land in her old continental colonies—if
any interest, present or future, actual or con-
tingent, worth one single dollar to Spain, could
be effected by our acknowledging the plain fact,
that Columbia is at this instant a sovereign and
independent State, there might be some, we will
net say substantia, defence or justification of the
deed, but some show of apology, some pardon for
the weakness oftheßritishGovernment, in refusing
to grant a free people the public honour to which
'they were entitled. But there exists no such
palliation of our disrespect. We imitate the old
French Government, when it went on acknow-
ledging the House of Stuart for our Sovereigns ;
and provoked, and justified a declaration of war
by England, for the assertion of her national in-
dependence. It is true, that we have not, since
the total overthrow .of the Spanish armies in
South America, affirmed formally that Spain was
still mistress of that mighty Continent ; but in
practice we are guilty of nothing less. The re-
publics must be either Sovereign States or
Spanish Colonies—and by withholding our
assent to their just demand of being treated
with in the former character, we brand them
by implication, as not yet emancipated from
bondage.. Now it is unhappily not a ques-
tion, whether the States of South America will
or will not consider this discourtesy on the
part of England a fair challenge to something
like reciprocal contempt. They have declared
how they will consider, and how seriously they
will resent, such conduct. They have pledged
themselves to that kind of warfare upon the trade
of_England, in case of her denying their national
sovereignty, which they well know must prove
ruinous to her commercial interests.

[BRITI'SII PRESS.]
Yesterday we presented our readers with the j
Second Report, of the Commissioners of Inquiry
'into the Irish Revenue. The first remarks which
'occur naturally relate tOthe verbose and tediously
diffuse sty le, attended with an utter want of effec-
ttial arrangement and beneficial deduction. The
names of the Commissioners are cause sufficient.
to account for these defects., Theyare Gentlemen',
of some merit, perhaps,• for the current business
of common offices, but,of remarkably weak judg-
ment, and desperate prosers withal,Mr.Lushington
excepted. The Report may: be divided into
thirds. .The first portion is employed in the
announcement of: evils, which have been declared
and proved, and branded over and over again by
each leader of Wilt Opposition since the Union.
The Commissioners, " by lengthened steps and
slow," arrive about the middle of their Report
at the following conclusions :-.-That the ex-
pences of the revenue establishments are too
large—that the. distribution of the offices, high
and low, is too much in the spirit of place-hold:.
ingand place-hunting—that the general system is
full of neglect, and is highly mischievous to trade
and the revenue. The next portion is spent in
reciting various resolutions and conclusions ema-
na.tiog from preceding inquiries.. The last and
shortest proposes the remedy—the reduction
of, the Dublin establishments, and the con-
solidation of the authority of all the Boards
under two general Boards—one for the Customs
.and one for the Excise, each to consist of thir-
teen Commissioners for the United Kingdoq.—
The whole economy to be effected is 50001. per
:annum. But the reporters are aware. " that for
some time that difference might be absorbed, or
nearly so, by the charge to be. incurred for com-
pensation to the Commissioners whose services
would be dispensed with." To this must be added,
the expenses of the Commissioners, at 1,5001. a
year each, for at least. 3 years. What a scheme
of economy ! But, then Of course the., public are
to gain some other 'way the loss they are to suffer
here. It is true that the Commissioners antici-
pate a more effective and impartial administration
of the revenue laws. So far the Government
(may increase the resources of the ExChequer:
