FINE ARTS.

The attempts made lately to shut out the
public from Richmond-park have attracted ge-
neral notice. The subsequent paper will show
that this is no new measure. One of our Kings
exerted all his power to enclose it for his own
use, but the people triumphantly resisted it;
subsequently a Princess Royal made a similar
attempt, but was defeated in a Court of Justice.
By the cases adduced below it will be seen that
right of free passage and commonage is so vested
in the people of the locality that it will be as
easy to confine the free air as to usurp the free-
dom of the park.
Richmond Park covers in the whole 2.253
acres, and is enclosed by a wall of brickwork, of
eight, or, as some say, eleven miles in circuit.
To form some idea of the various interests con-
nected with this park, it is sufficient to state that
of these acres 205 are in Petersham ; 483 in the
Manor of Ham ; 630 in Mortlake; 230 in
Putney ; about 100 in Richmond, and as many
more in Kingston. Such are the villages, pa -
rishes„ and hamlets, interested in the common-
age and open wayfare of the park.
The first attempt to deprive the public of the
right of common in Richmond Park was made
by Charles the First. This Prince, being much
addicted to the chase, was desirous of having a
large park for red, as well as fallow deer; and he
considered this place, which had large tracts of
waste land and wood, as every way tit for his
purpose. The consent of such parishes, how-
ever, as had a right of common on these wastes
was necessary even before a King's wishes could
be carried into effect, as also the consent of such
gentlemen and others as had estates thereon.
Charles accordingly granted a Commission, un-
der his Privy Seal, empowering the officers of the
Exchequer to treat with the proprietors and
others for the necessary purchases, and a treaty
was soon concluded by many of the freeholders,
copyholders, and inhabitants of the place.
But, although the greater part of those that
were interested in this proceeding were soon pre-
vailed upon to concur with the King in his
design, yet, says Lord Chancellor Clarendon,
in his " History of the Rebellion, "
" Many very obstinately refused, and one
gentlenian in particular, who had the best
estate, with a convenient house and gardens,
would by no means part with and the King
being at earnest to compass it, it made a great
noise, as if the King would take away men's
estates at his own pleasure. The City of Lon-
don, as well as the public in general, (fearing the
roads would be obstructed by the inclosure) had
taken alarm on the first notice of the King's in-
tentions, and were confirmed in their suspicions
when they saw the building of the wall going
forward before the several proprietors•had con-
sented to part with their lands and commonage.
Understanding also that the King would compel
the owners to sell, whether they would or riot,
London grew more and more urgent with the
officers of State to stop the further progress of
his design. From day to day, Laud Archbishop
of Canterbury; Juxon, Bishop of London; and
Lord Cottington, then Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, were so constantly solicited, that at
length they could not resist the importunity,
and warmly represented to the King the
P 3 olic of resisting the public will. These
Ministers had, indeed, been averse to the
design from the beginning; and Cottington
in particular had thrown all the impediments lie
could devise in the way of the bargains that were
to be made. Yet this had no other effect than
that of exposing them to their Royal master's
displeasure, who declared himself "resolved to
go through with it."
But though the King was not to be diverted
from the execution of this favourite project, yet
so fitr did he profit by the advice and remon-
strances of his friends as to obviate, by his subse-
quent conduct. in this affair, whatever might ap-
pear to give offence, or be urged against him as
just complaint.
Care was accordingly taken to have gates at
convenient distances in the walls, with permis-
sion to use the roads as before the ground was
enclosed, and step-ladders in proper places for
the accommodation of foot passengers. The poor
also of the different parishes into which the in-
closure extended were permitted, as heretofore,
to take and carry away the fire-wood.
Sir Robert Walpole was one of those who at-
tempted to shut out the public, and the inhabit-
ants of Petersham on one occasion were refused,
at his instance, gravel out of the park. Sergeant
Darnell, who had a house there, sent the ranger
word, that if the teams were not immediately
admitted, he himself would come and order the
gates to be pulled down. After this, there was
an end of the grievances of which the people had
been apprehensive, and no farther matter of
reasonable complaint subsisted.
The Rangership of this park was given by
George 11. to Robert, son of Sir Robert Walpole.
That statesman himself spent much of his leisure
tune in this retirement, where he is said to have
expended 14,0001. in the repairs of the Great
Lodge, and other improvements.
The office of Ranger was in 1751 conferred on
the Princess Amelia, daughter of George 11.,
when the great case for decision came on re-
specting the right of the people to the park.
Whilst the Princess was in this office, complaints
were, in 1752, set on foot by the inhabitants of
Richmond and time surrounding parishes against
the Deputy Ranger, and other keepers of the
park and gates, for obstructing the footpaths
through it. After various trials and different
verdicts, a decision was at length given in their
favour at Kingston Assizes, in April, 1754, when
their right was fully established. A report of
this case is not easily now to be met with, but it
will readily be seen by the high legal talent
employed upon it, that the arguments on both
sides were thoroughly sifted, so as to leave little
hope fnr successful litigation on the part of the I
Crown at the present time.
The counsel for the prosecution were—Sir John
Phillips, of Norbiton Hall, in Kingston; Mr.
Starkic, Mr. Crowle, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Parrott
(afterwards a Baron of the Exchequer), Mr.
Beckford, Mr. Morton (afterwards Chief Jus-
tice of Chester), and Mr. Clarke. For the
Crown, the Attorney-General and Solicitor-
General ; Mr. Hume Campbell, Mr. Pratt
(afterwards Lord Camden), Mr. Luke Robinson,
and Mr. Bishop.
The subscription set on foot to raise money
for trying this cause amounted to 1,095/. It
was tried at Bar 12, Nov. 13, 1754, in an action
brought by Symons against Shaw, Deputy-
Ranger of the Park, and a verdict was found for
the
_plaintiff.

Mr. Lewis, a brewer, of Richmond, took a
very active part in this business, and was on
that account held in such esteem by the inhabit-
ants of Richmond, that a subscription of three
hundred pounds was raised to defray the damage
done to his brewiiouse by a flood in 1774; and
he, becoming unfortunate in business, the inha-
bitants raised an annual subscription for him, to
the time of his death, in 1792. The Princess
having surrendered her interest in this efface, it
was bestowed on the Earl of Bute, and on his
death it fell into the hands of the Royal Family.
In conclusion, we would only add, that any
attempt to shut out the puLlic from the park
will be met with strenuous and successful
resistance. Looking at it in only one point
of view, it is unreasonable to suppose that
so large a tract of land, very near • eleven
miles in compass, within less than the same
number of miles of the capital of the king-
dom, and great part of it common, should
be shut out from free passage. Can the
most stolid reasoner imagine that parishes, whose
boundaries meet in the park, should have no way
for the inhabitants of those parishes to pass and
repass for the transaction of the necessary affairs
people so situated must have with each
without going many miles about through
other,that
other parishes? There is no other place in the
kingdom similarly situated; and we are con-
vinced that the inhabitants of London and the
suburban districts will not allow this spot to be
an exception to the general rule.
D-

lUNDEE RADE.— , e have as yet experienced
no decided improvement in the state of our general
trade ; at the same time we are happy to say that there
is now more confidence felt amongst mercantile
people in doing business than has been the case for some
time past. The hopes of benefit from the harvest have
completely vanished, as all our
i crops havesufferedse-
verely by the late rains, and it s nown said that to b
that very littleused
of the new wheat in this countybe fit
for bread, so that our bakers will have to look for their
supplies elsewhere. Flax is still dull of sale, at prices
same as this day week. Several vessels with flax and
,
tows have arrived during the last eight clays, so
that our supplies are fully kept up, and there
materialhere i.
longer any fear of a scarcity of 'the raw
being felt during the ensuing winter. During tbep
oanst
mouth the importation here amounted to about 4,000.
tons of flax and flax codilla, which left an increase of
our whole importation from Ist January to 30thi Septem-
ber, 1841, of about 3,600 tons beyond that during the
same period last year. Tows continue to be inquired
after, and maintain their prices. Hemp of all sorts is
quite nominal in price. Hemp codilla finds buyers from
171. to 17/. 10s. per ton, to be used as a substitute for flax
codilla, which costs more money. Jute is in fair 4,

CORN-LA WS
A public meeting was held last evening in the King's-
cross Theatre, for the purpose of forming a Young
Men's Anti-Monopoly Associ :tion. The: room was
filled, before the hour appointed for the meeting, which
was eight o'clock, and by that hour standing-room could
net be• obtained.
RICHARD TAYLOR, EN., Laving been pro Posed,
took the chair amids: great applause,, and said he
could have wished that a more influential person had
taken the chair, but as
the Committec had appointed
him, he was most happy to render his small assistance in
the furtheracce of so laudable an object as that for
which they had met.—(Clacers.) The circumstances
which govern the increase or decrease of the prosperity
of our bAoved country, he was surd was one of the
most important subjects that could exercise the under-
standing.—(Hear.) The question which bad been so
much agitated—the question of the Corn-laws—
was pecul arly one which was deserving of the study
of all men, and more especially the younger part
of the community. At first sight this would se
so s:mple a question,
us to require no argument with
respect to it ; but they saw, so many interests opposed
t, that question and so much sophistry brought to bear
mastsi, that
etrioo it
s eonwsai,skonnetejeosnsa;ryantdo
ttbakiseeotltided sounblyjebcet
done
by application. With this object, then, had they met,
for the purpose of forming an Association ; and resolu-
tions, embodying the feelings of the promoters, would
he submitted to their attention, and he hoped they
would receive due consideration from all present. He
should, therefore,
sacid he
all
"o
first resolution.—(Cheers.)
Mr. FOSTER said
wophoastewtlams
perfectly understood, that that was a public meeting to
all intents and purposes—a meeting formed to •abolish
all monopolies—and they therefore did not,. ,by any
means, wish to establish a monopoly of expression of
sentiment with respect to the resolutions that would be
propounded to them. Every man would be allowed to
express his sentiments, provided he did so 'lugy
and fairly. Mr. Foster then briefly alluded to the
meeting lately held in the City on this subject,
from which the present one, he said, had taken its rise.
He understood that it was the opinion of many that they
could not successfully attack this question, as they had
the Chartists opposed to them. He did not think so,
for they had many Chartists upon their Committee.
He begged to read the first resolution :
" That this meeting deeply laments the prevailing dis-
tress, and fully
_approves of the strenuous efforts now
making to obtain the entire abolition of the bread-tax,
and all other monopolies, to the effects• of which, in their
opinion, this distress is to be attributed."
Lord Stanley had made long speeches about over-
production, and he had been followed by Sir R. Peel ;
but conceding to them that there was that over-produc-
tion, and that our customers could not take that over-
production, how was it that they went to their markets
for the same article ?—(Hear, bear.) But although the
Cabinet contained a Buckingham and a Knatchbull, he
thought it 14113 not combined in its principles. He
hoded that if there was any gentleman who differed
from him in sentiment, he would be allowed a full and
fair hearing.
Mr. GODDARD rose, and said that he perfectly con-
curred in what had fallen from the gentleman who had
just sat down. Not only was the manufacturing, but
likewise the agricultural, interest in a state of unpre-
cedented depression, and therefore it became their duty
to use their best exertions to put an end to such a state
of things. The present meeting was styled " The
Young Men's Anti-Corn-law Association," but its ob-
jects were such as to induce persons of all ages and
all classes to join in effecting its ultimate objects.
It had been said by some that machinery was
the cause of much of the distress amongst the opera-
tives ; but machinery was only the second cause.
The prime and mi,ving cause was the monopolists and
aristocrats. After corninenting in strong terms on the
misery and vice caused by the present system of Corn-
laws, he concluded by moving the following resolution :
" That this meeting deeply laments the present pre-
vailing distress, and appreciates the efforts now making
to get rid of the Bread-tax, and all other monopolies, to
the effects of which, in their opinion, was to be ascribed
the present distressed state of the country."
A person named Wall next rose to address the meet-
ing, and said he was a Chartist and considered it would
be impossible to effect a repeal of the Corn-laws during
the present state of the representation of the people.
During his speech, which was chiefly a rhodcmontade
against machinery, and lasted upwards of an hour, he
was met by continued hisses, and, after being repeatedly
called to order by the Chairman, concluded by moving
na amendment to the effect that the only way to get rid
of the Corn-laws and all other monopolies was by pass- ,
ing the People's Charter.
A scene of indescribable confusion here arose. The
feeling of the meeti7g was manifested very strongly
against the amendment, when several Chartists who
were in the front of the pit jumped upon the platform,
and a regular row ensued, during which the Chairman
managed to effect his escape to the back of the stage
with some difficulty, and for upwards of a quarter of an
hour, however amusing the scene might be to those in
the galleries, it was far otherwise to the less Insinuate
wights in the pit and upon the stage.
The CHAIRMAN having again resumed his seat, ma-
naged, with much exertion, to restore order partially,
when three or four other speakers addressed the meet-
hie, but from the p'audits of the one side and marks of
disapprobation on the other, they were almost inaudible.
The Meeting then separated.

merits of the horses, as John o' Gaunt made all the run-
ning, and won by'six lengths.
The A. F. Handicap Plate was a very interesting race,
no less than :fifteen having showed at the post. The
running was made by Silistria, Isabella waiting on her
right into the cerds, when she went up and won cleverly
by a length. Rory O'More, Sir Hans, and two or three
others, were well up. The winner was scarcely mentioned
in the betting; 10 to I, taken once or twice, being a mere
nominal price.

CHURCH-RATES in BIRMINGHAM.
OCT. 13.—The payment of this impost bas ceased in
Birmingham for several years. The moment, however,
a Tory Ministry was formed, the Church-rate party in.
scantly brought forward the proposal for a Church-
rate. They were beaten, however, by an immense ma-
jority in the first instance, on the previous question,
the choice of a Chairman at and for the public meeting ;
after which decision they declined to meet the parish-
ioners on the main question of a Church-rate. The
party have called a fresh meeting for Friday
which bids fair to be one of the greatest meetic:o that
have for years past been held here. It is iy all sides
regarded as a public struggle of no counnon importance.
The party have been to London to consult the Attor-
ncy-General, and also Sir :lames Graham, and their
friends give it out that they. are resolved to carry
their point.
The following placards have been issued and plenti-
fully distributed through the town :
" THE CHURCH RATE ONCE MORE!
" The Churchwardens have again called upon the in-
habitants to assemble for the purpose of making a
Church-rate. The meeting will be held on Friday
next, the 15th instant, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
in the Town-hall.
" The inhabitants met on the 10th of September for
the same purpose ; they elected a Chairman to conduct
the business for which they were called together ; and
when their Chairman, in their name, put the question,
whether any motion for a Church-rate was meant to be
proposed, the Churchwardens and their friends did not
even deign to give a reply.
" The Churchwardens, on their own unacknowldged
and unsuppor►.ed authority, pretended to adjourn that
meeting ; and when the day to which they had ad-
journed ariirod, with a contempt of decency as un-
equivocal as had been their previous contempt of cus-
tom and law, they refused to me3t the inhabitants,
whose presence they had, with such seeming earnest-
ness, invoked.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT, 14.—Wind W.N.W., very squally.

" The object of the Churchwardens and their abettors

vexatious assembliegs into a forced compliance with'
their demands. They expect to succeed in wringing

SINGULAR MAN. _One day lately, a clergy-
man qut the question to a married woman in this place_
" Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgres.ion ?"
To which the woman replied, " As for other folk, Sir,
how they stand, I cannot tell ; but one thing I ken, that
my man never fell in Adam's first transgression, for he
told me that he never ate fruit of any kind all the days
of his. life ; so that ye see, Sir, he has naethint;• to do
with Adam at all."—Stirling Observer.

A SPORTING DocTott..---The medical profes-
sion furnishes its quota of (fox-hunting) enthusiasts,
and many highly honourable traits are recorded of them.
The followir.g, for example : A medical gentleman' of
the name of Ilanster, residing near Newbury, ordered
his gar.lener to set a trap fur some vermin that infested
his =garden. As ill luck would have it, a fox was found
in it in the morning with his leg broken. On its being
I taken to the doctor, he exclaimed, " Why did you not
call me up in the night, that I might set the leg ?'
Better late than never ; he did set the leg ; the fox re'
covered, and was killed in due form after a capital run_

COL. NAPIER'S PAMPHLET.
TO 7:11E EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR—I cannot help observing on the great incon-
sistency of that part of Colonel Napier's pmplart,
which you have quoted. I ought to use the term
" absurdity." He first states that the assertions of the
polirical economis!s, that the proportion " of the supply
of labcur to the demand for it," is not made bona fide,
and t' at they endeavour to evade the proof of it, is incor-
rect, and then he himself, in his four propositions, proves
the correctness of it, and makes it the foundation of his
subsequent 'arguments. These propositions are—
st. The employer being richer can hold out longer,
and so heat down Lhe price of the poor man's labour.
2d. That employers have a general interest in avoid-
ing competition with each other, &c., is not frac. The:r
co:npetitien in the market supersedes that interest as
against the labourer, and no instance can be pro-
duced of their combining together not to employ
men who have struck for wages ; on the contrary they
take advantage of such a strike in one town to
increase their own make and sales, instead of stopping
simultaneously in al towns to reduce the labourer to
submission.
But without quoting all his four propositions, let me
ask this question—Does not the master agriculturist
grind down and take advantage of his labourers, quite
as much as the master manufacturer ; and,
taken as a body, are not the agricultural
labourers the worst fed and the most emaciated
set of men of the two ? I have had great opportunities
of obse'rving and comparing the two classes, and I
answer, Yes. And, again, let me ask if the
Gallant Colonel had his wish, and no agri-
cultural labourer could turn " weaver" or ma-
nufacturing labourer, could the agriculturists find
employment—even if the price of corn were doubled,
and the consequent addition of bad land brought into
cultivation to the great benefit of the owner of that
land—could the agriculturists find employment for one-
tenth of those born on the land ? I answer No! and
they must be left to the mercy of the Poor-law Com-
missioners. Your obedient servant.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM
AMERICA.
H ATRE, OCT. 13.—The packet Louis Philippe, Capt.
Cartoffe, arrived this morning from New York, which
she left on the 28th of September, bearing accounts three
days later than those we have received by the Great
Western. The dissolution of the Whig party becomes
more apparent in every quarter, and the differences
which have occurred between the legislative and execu-
tive have given rise to violent acclamations against
the latter. The disunion between the Northern and
Southern States, awakened by a recent act of
the Senate, makes progress—that the doctrine of
" States' rights " to power in the person of
the President threatens to accelerate. The trial of
M‘Leod, which was to take place two days after the
departure of the packet, produced intense anxiety.
One of the leading journals remarks :—" All the
journals of the interior of the State, particularly
those in the neighbourhood of the Anglo-American
frontier, are unanimous in picturing the irritation
which exists among all classes of the people, as truly
alarming. So, as we said the other day, the masses
will not remain neuter—they will attend the trial,
not to await the course of justice, but by their
menacing attitude to obtain, or force, a conviction ;
and if this is refused, it is feared they will
proceed to acts of violence. We desire to
believe that, even in their anger, there will be sufficieat
magnanimity to respect justice and to spare M'Leod, and
that the vengeance of the whole people will not descend
upon a sol'tery individual. But the rancour of the
northern population against England will swell out in
the disappointment they will feel, in seeing escape them
the victim they claim, in expiation of their injuries, and
this rancour, which could scarcely be suppressed when
M' Lend was kept as an hostage, will surely burst forth
should he be set at liberty. In fact there is, through-
out the whole of the frontier, the same symptoms as
preceded the civil war in Canada, a war so just in its
object, so fatal in its consequences." The journals speak
of the enrolment of men and the pillage of arsenals in
every direction.

The Prince de Joinville had left New York for
Washington. Three mails, which were in arrear from
New Orleans, had arrived, bringing accounts to Sept.
1.5. The sickness had increased. Eighteen thousand
bales of new cotton had been received. Prices were, for
fair, 10 to 104 cents.

NEWS FROM PERIT,
By the barque George and Henry, which left Val-
paraiso June 12, and Coquimbo 26, accounts have
been received from Chili and Peru. In Chili, the
election of a new President had occasioned an ex-
citement nearly resembling a civil war. The two
candidates were the ex-President General Pinto and
General Putner. Whilst the George and Henry was at
Valparaiso, the British steamer Chili had been ship-
wrecked on the coast, and many passengers and seamen
had been drowned. In Peru, the civil dissensions had
been appeased. The Revolutionists, of whom Vivanca
was the chief, had been beaten and dispersed.

THE SHIP YORK AND THE
WALLACES.
The following letter has been received at Lloyd's
from Captain Legg, of the York, which vessel, it wilt
be remembered, as stated by the Wa!laces after their
committal to Newgate, was intended to be lost :
" Calcutta, Aug. 15, 1841.
" Sir—The peculiar circumstances under which I am
placed, I trust will be a sufficient excuse for the liberty
I take in thus addressing you.
" I cannot picture to you my astonishment on my
1 arrival at Calcutta, at hearing of the vile reports which
had gone the rounds of the newspapers, and which
doubtless came uwler your observation, concerning the
ship York, and coupling my name (as commander) with
the most i:Vilainous plot on record. It goes on to say
that arrangements had been made for the wilful
(I:estructiou of this ship; how such a diabolical report
could have originated I know not, and most heartily
do I pray that the vile projectors of such unfounded
slander may be dragged to justice and the punishment
they deserve. You must be well aware, Sir, that if my
innocence be not clearly proved beyond a doubt, that
the villaneous calumny is calculated to blast my pros-
pects through life ; for who would trust me with a va-
luable property while such a stigma remains on my cha-
racter ? I here declare (that which eventually must be
proved) that I do not know of the most trivial circum-
stance that could have given rise to the slightest shadow
of suspicion of such a plot as I have been charged
with, and do, therefore, during my absence from Eng-
land, rely solely on my perfect innocence, which I feel
confident will give me back my hitherto untarnished
reputation, which some vile wretch has endeavoured to
wrench from me.

" I beg you will say this before your Honourable
Committee, and should there be any circumstances
unexplained relative to this very curious matter,
I shall be glad on my arrival in England to expoe
to the public view my every transaction, which I feel
convinced will clearly prove to the world how basely I
have been calumniated. 1 pray you to give this pub-
licity in one or more of the public Journals. I ask it
as an act of justice—of humanity, for you must be
aware that at such a distance from England, this is the
only means I have of vindicating my injured name.
" I am, your obedient servant,
"JAMES LEGG, Commander of ship York.
." P.S. I shall sail from this port for London about
25th September, 1841."

Miss A. KEMBLE AT FRANicroßT.—During
the last fourteen days (10th to 24th September) we have
been rich in musical treats. By a fortunate coincidence,
Liszt, Rubini, Madame Persiani, and Miss liemble, hap-
pened to be here at the same time. Of Liszt little can
be said that is new, since there is no expression of en•
thpsiastic admiration in which France, England, Italy,
and Germany, have not repeatedly joined. No living
artist, perhaps, has been more bitterly attacked, or more
zealously defended. His talent can be as little described
as it can be equalled. He has favoured us with two
concerts at the theatre, which on both occasions was
crowded with the elite of our Frankfort public. At the
second of these concerts, Liszt introduced to the public a
young singer, whose performance was hailed with warm
and unanimous applause. Miss Kemble bears a name of
threefold celebrity in the annals of the drama, and she
bids fair to maintain it in her own person with undimi-
nished brilliancy. After having sung, at Liszt's concert,
a cavatina of Parini, and a romance from the Bravo,
Miss Kemble made her first appearance in the cha-
racter of Norma. Her voice is of extraordinary fresh-
ness and purity. Her musical feeling is correct, often
deep, and admirably delicate. As yet, her efforts to
please her audience are too evident to allow her to carry
it along with her in triumph, but this is a fault which
'greater familiarity with the stage will be certain to cor-
rect. Miss Kemble, as an actress, appears to us more
excellent even than as a singer. She has evidently
availed herself of her residence in Italy to study the
antique statues. Her attitudes are noble, her gestures
simple, her walk full of majesty, and it is only to be re-
gretted that the same taste does not appear to preside
over the choice of her costume. The concert, given
jointly by Rubini and Madame Persiani, was crowded to
excess. Rubini, ou quitting the stage, leaves none to
occupy his place. After thirty years of labour, and
thirty years of glory, he retires to the enjoyment, at
Bergamo, of a handsome fortune, but his absence will
long excite the regret of musical Europe. The receipts
of Liszt's last concert will go to swell the subscriptions
to the I:lsiitution. The distinguished artist,
faithful to his accustomed munificence, continues to de-
dicate his best efforts to the advuncement of his art.--

THE HERRING SEASON.--.By the numerous
boats that have been assembled off the Porelands, from
the coasts of Kent and Sussex, for the season, scarcely
any fish have as yet been caught. One boat that had
gone to the westward, belonging wo believe to Folke-
stone, having been very successful, earning it is said
nearly 1501., has induced many to fit out for the voyage
rather earlier than usual,. the fish being expected to have
reached this part of the Channel ; but in this the unfor-
nate fishermen have thus far been disappointed. The
ports of Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, &c., have
been occasionally crowded with fishing boats of late, in
consequence of the boisterous state of the weather.—
