FISIIERIEB.—The preamble of Captain Pechell's Bill for
the better regulation and protection of the Fisheries on the
coast of England and Wales, runs thus :—" Whereas it is
highly necessary for the better encouragement of the breed of
fish, and to prevent the destruction of it on the coast of Eng-
land and Wales, that the fish entering the bays and creeks
thereof for the purpose of depositing their spawn and their
brood or fry, should not during certain seasons of the year be
disturbed or molested. And whereas the fishery is greatly
injured during certain seasons of the year by trawls and drag
nets."
For the prevention thereof, be it enacted, &c. Then fol-
low 28 clauses for the appointment of conservators, for fixing
the fence season, penalties, &c. &c.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.—The titles of the following
clauses present an ABSTRACT of the principal provisions of the
Ministerial Measure for amending the Law relative to the Re-
gistration of Voters in Ireland, and for taking the Poll at
Elections in that part of the Kingdom.
Difficulties having arisen from the present mode of ascer-
taining the qualification of persons entitled to vote for Mem-
bers of Parliament, it is proposed that after the Ist of July
next, no person shall have the right of voting after the first of
July next; no person shall have the right of voting in any place
in Ireland (except the University of Dublin) unless registered

MAIL CoAcIrMILEAoE.—From the recent return, it appears
that the saving effected in the Post• office department by the
new mail coach contract amounts to 2,9301. ss. sd. for the
quarter ending on the sth April, 1836.

It has often been remarked that the parochial
teachers of Scotland are at once the most useful and worst
paid class of men in his Majesty's dominions.
THE MINISTERS or CHARLES X.—The QUO-
tidienne announces that M. de Peyronnet is seriously ill, and
that his condition causes the most lively anxiety to his friends.
He has consented to receive the assistance of Dr. Pariset. It
appears that a tumour in the neck, attended with violent in-
flammation, came to a crisis on the 24th instant, and that since
that time his health has been rather improxed. The same
Journal states, that the only son of M. dc aternon Ranville
being in a very dangerous state of health from a wound that
he has received, application has been made by Mad. de Guer.
non to the Minister of Justice, for permission to his father to
accompany his son to the part of the country pyescribcd for
him by the physicians ; but that the result of thdapplication is
not yet known. The Quotidienne adds several reasons to
show the justice of this petition being granted:

ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY THE

QUEEN REGENT.

Madam—We the undersigned inhabitants and merchants
of Madrid, cannot do less than raise our voices to the
throne of your Majesty, because, in the critical circum-
stances in which we are placed, the voice of a faithful and
submissive people can never fail to be both grateful and
profitable to Kings as well as to nations. Your Majesty
has reposed your confidence for the government of the
State in a man beloved within and esteemed without the
Spanish nation, and in whom this same nation has granted
its confidence, in conjunction with your Majesty, in the
most critical circumstances.

Grave errors, and serious mistakes of opposing parties,
who, enlisting under hostile banners, have contended in a
fruitless struggle for an ominous victory, inasmuch as they
have mistaken the Spanish nation of to-day for the Spanish
nation of yesterday, and have neither recognised its dogmas,
nor can suffer its yoke, and have thus reduced society and

the Government to a state of weakness in which we are
now unfortunately placed.
When a Ministry, which history will judge, acted under
the influence of impotent passion against a magnanimous
nation, that nation withdrew its confidence from it, and the
ties were dissolved which ought to have united the Govern-
ment with society. This dissolution, which mortally
wounded our nationality, and which filled the northern
powers with joy, and the southern powers with consterna-
tion, was the scandal of all Europe ; but your Majosty,
with the instinct of a mother and the prudence of a Queen,
preferred for your adviser a remarkable individual, who,
accustomed to combat for lihorty abroad, was again ready
to combat for it at home—Fi. home which received him
with enthusiasm, and which ,s to be the theatre of his
triumphs, and in which he was to gather fresh laurels.
At that time nobody disputed with him his elevation to
power. At that time none of his former enemies drew
their swords to compel him to yield.' They all disappeared
from the scene which the world saw -vacant. He alone
never hesitated, because he alone felt his heart serene in
the midst of the storm, and he alone offered to your Majesty
a manly support in the midst of danger.
Society from that moment recovered its lost level. The
throne was restored to its ancient strength. Serenity and
peace appeared once more in our gloomy horison. Never-
theless, Madam, the man who raised up power from its fallen
condition, and the nation from anarchy, is the object of the
evils machinations of discomfitted factions. Although it
be certain that he united in September the entire nation
under the standard of Isabella, it is no less certain that a

threatening insurrection of parties still exists against the
power which our institutions consecrate and our laws pro-
tect—an insurrection which it is necessary to combat, unless
we resolve to bequeath to our children the grievous legacy
of a defective liberty, together with the misfortune of a com-
munity torn by contending factions. Madam, he alone can
save ourliberty to-day who saved it yesterday, by vanquishing
a fanatical party which was triumphing over our divisions.
He alone can save power who reorganised our deranged
framework of Society. He alone can preserve society,
who saved it without a distatorship, and in the midst
of anarchy ; and because he saved it without a dicta-
torship, he is opposed by factions who aspire to power
as an end, and who look to anarchy as the means.
The capital of the Spanish monarchy is full of dis-
gust at the ominous rumours which are circulating in its
bosom ; nobody can doubt that there are many who see
with pain that the laws are recovering their vigour, and the
State its healthy condition, and that these same are endea-
vouring to destroy a Cabinet which has sought to identify
itself with the nation, and has never once transgressed the
limits of the law. As imprudeut as they are daring, they
demand from it an account of all its promises; enumerating
them every day. Its crime is, that it has confided in
the hope that the parties which torture the country
would have been reconciled, and that peace would have
been substituted for the agitations which we endure. It
was solely upon this condition that it could have pro-
mised, and did promise, victory, in the presence of the
Legislature and the nation. If those parties, instead of
giving him the kiss of peace, still keep up their disgraceful
disputes, is that Cabinet to be responsible for promises, the '
fulfilment of which depended upon a generosity which they
have not shown? They paralyze the Cabinet, and they tell it
that it marches ; and whilst they assassinate it they accuse it.
Those who have kept alive the flame of war in the north
with the light of their envenomed hatred, ask the Minister
how long the flame is to burn ? Posterity, more impartial
and better informed, will alone give it credit for having
raised 100,000 combatants in the midst of our scandalous
dissentions. They accuse it because our credit fails. Pos-
terity will ask with wonder how it could have provided-so
long for the expences of the Government without loans or
compulsory contributions, and will crown it with a garland.
They ask it what has become of liberty—liberty herself
will answer to future generations.
But if parties are ungrateful the people are generous ;
while the former are endeavouring in Madrid to ascend to
power by combatting the existing Cabinet, the people
are applauding it throughout the kingdom. While they
are accusing it, the people are everywhere electing repre-
sentatives on whom they impose the duty of suppozing it.
Our eyes, Madam, are not accustomed to read the fu-
ture, but a " doleful presentiment assures us, that if the pre-
sent Cabinet should at this crisis disappear from the politi-
cal scene, the future will be most gloomy. The rumour of
the fall of the Cabinet, and that of the dissolution of the
State, proceed from the same parties as accuse the Mi-
nistry. They well know that the present Cabinet, which is
strong because it is supported by public opinion, and be-
cause it rests upon the law, will be an invincible obstacle to
the realization of the plans they meditate ; and knowing
this, they have sworn that it shall be exterminated ; and
therefore the undersigned, who are well aware of this, raise
their humble voices, Madam, to your august throne to sup-
plicate that you will accede to their wishes, and deign to
continue your confidence to the present Ministry, which in
the most stormy and difficult moments saved from destruc-
tion the cradle of your august daughter, and the liberties of
the Spanish nation.
