Since the year 1825, when the trade between Great Bri-
tain and Ireland was placed under coasting regulations, the
official record of the interchange of produce and manufac-
tures between the two countries (except in so far as the ar-
ticle of corn is concerned) has of necessity been discontinued.
The foregoing return, therefore, has been framed from non-
official documents, collected at the ports of exportation, and
consisting chiefly of printed market and shipping reports.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AND SUlTE.—Daring
the morning the British and foreign ships in the Roads
and harbour were gaily dressed in flags, as were the
yachts and pilot vessels ; numerous flags were also dis-
played along the shores of the harbour. Soon after 1
o'clock the Royal Yacht steamed into the harbour,
saluted from the Castle and the R.Y.S. battery. The
Royal Family and attendants landed at the Trinity
Wharf, and proceeded in their carriages to o.borne
Elou>e by the new road, through East Cowes Park.
THE GRAND SULTAN'S YACHT.--'phis splendid steam-
ship, built by the Whites, is to be launched to-morrow.
She seems almost long enough to make a bridge across
the Medina. A great. many men are employed fitting
up accommodations for the royal party, who are ex-
pected to attend. It is understood that her Majesty will
name the yacht.
MOTTISTON, 1 O'CLOCK.-1-1. M. S. SPRYXX.—AII the
power that could be laid on at high water this day only
hove the ship a few feet further out, say yesterday and
to-day 150 feet at the utmost, though the three
steamers tried full power, and every assistance was given
with the camels, &c. There is less water outside than
where she was lying. All hope is in a fog; the ground
swell attending it may lift her over. Science is sanguine,
but the Isle-of-Wightmen say it is all over with her.
Another trial is to be made in the night.

DIETARY FOR PERSONS SINKING FOR WANT OF
FOOD, OR AFFECTED WITH DYSENTERY, ARISING FROM
WANT.— Recommended by Sir Philip Crampton, one of the
very highest medical authorities in this or anv other coun-
try, for the information of persons to whom the distribution
of supplies of food may be intrusted. The following prepa-
ration has been found eminently serviceable in such cases:
—l. Rice.-2. Sago.-3. Arrowroot; of each a pound.-4.
Candle Alba, a coarse and cheap kind of cinnamon, and a
valuable tonic, half an ounce. Boil slowly in a sufficient
quantity of water, until the whole is reduced to a thickish
jelly ; sweeten with lump sugar, and season with port wine,
in the proportion of two table-spoonsful to each half-pint of
the jelly; add, when diarrhea or dysentery is present, thirty
drops of laudanum to the quantity of jelly consumed in
twenty-four hours by an adult. An infant under one year
old should not take more than two drops of laudanum three
times in the course of twenty-four hours, at intervals of not
less than four _hours; five drops every six hours may be
considered as an average dose for a person from ten to twenty
years of age. This direction is offered for the information of
those who may not be within the reach of medical advice.
Tapioca, or barley, may be substituted for arrowroot,
when the latter is not easily to be procured.—Dubin Even-
ing Mail.
SALMON FISRING.—After the spate subsided which
followed the braking up of the storm in the early part of
last week, there were several successive days of excellent
takes of salmon in the river. At the North Inch station
thirty large fish were caught within twenty-four hours, and
at most of the stations down the river, the fishing was nearly
as successful. At Stockgreen, in particular, there were some
largo hauls. On Monday twenty-four boxes were shipped
for London, which is a good cargo for this period of the
season, although February on the wtiole has been greatly be-
low an average, owing to the closing of the river from ice.—
