THE SUN, LONDON,

gress had been made in preparing the Bill, obtained
another interview on the 11th of May last, when his
Excellency stated, " that since they had,waited upon
him he had made inquiries into all they complained
of, and found that the changes they required in the
law were necessary to make the salmon fisheries of
Ireland profitable, and recommended that a meeting
of practical men should be held on as early a
day as possible, and that if the amendments
agreed to by the majority of that meeting
were forwarded to him be would do all
in his power to have them embodied in a Bill which
should immediately be introduced into Parliament."

That advice was immediately followed. A meeting
was held, which was attended by representatives
from almost all the Irish rivers and persons in any
manner interested in the salmon fisheries, when
several practical resolutions were unanimously
adopted, embodying all the necessary amendments in
the existing law. These were forwarded without
delay to his Excellency, and a Bill was framed thereon
with the entire approbation of the Irish Government.
Nothing has, however, since been done, and there is
too much reason to fear that the interests of Ireland
will again be neglected in the Imperial Parliament,
while time is wasted on business of not the twentieth
part of the importance in a national point of view.
This cannot, and we trust the Irish representa-
tives will say, " this must not be." It is
not at a time like the present, when there is so much
dissatisfaction abroad, and when so many persons,
who have previously been the firmest friends of the
Union, are hesitating as to whether they shall give
their adhesion to the ranks of repeal, that any well-
founded causes of complaint and dissatisfaction should
be afforded to the Irish people. In the present in-
stance there is nothing required but the attention of
Parliament for a brief period to the wants and wishes
of the country. A memorial to the Government on the
subject, has been signed by a number of the Irish Peers
and representatives, and Lord JouN RUSSELL has
appointed to-morrow (Thursday), at half-past three
o'clock, to receive a deputation of Members of both
Houses of Parliament, when that memorial will be
presented. We trust that no Irish Member will,

absent himself upon the occasion. It is of the greatest
importance that a spirit of unanimity should prevail
among those of every section and party, to advance the
best interests of their common country. Ireland ex-
pects that they will discharge that duty, and those
who neglect the summons may be called upon to
answer for their apathy. At present the object is to
have the Bill that has been prepared brought in with-
out a moment's delay, so that the necessary legisla-
tion may take place during the present session.
We shall on a future occasion enter into the nature
of the proposed alterations, and point out the reasons
that imperatively, demand their adoption. These have
been most ably and distinctly set forth in a letter on
the "Past and Present State of the Salmon
Fisheries in Ireland," by JOHN DILLON CROZER,
41 ,Qqartertown, in the county of Cork, Esq.)
the active, energetic, and efficient representative
of the Inland Proprietors, with the particu-
lars of which every person interested in the
question should make himself thoroughly acquainted.
The name of Mr. CROICER will afford a full guarantee
to every person acquainted with that gentleman that I
no important fact connected with the subject has
escaped his notice ; and he has, indeed, made a most

unanswerable argument for the revision of the fishery
code, and the adoption of the changes now sought
for. At present we shall only again call upon the
Irish Representatives to' attend to-morrow, at half,.

past three o'clock, with the deputation, and to demand
that instalment of "justice to Ireland."

Constitution. The Triers and Odillon party will op-
pose this motion.

The financial project of M. GOUDCRAUX was yes-
terday discussed in the Committee of Finance. One
of the principal questions considered was whether the
conversion of the Bons du Tresor and the deposits in
the savings' banks should be obligatory, or at the choice
of the holder., M. BERRYEE defended the obligatory
system, as proposed by M. GOUDCHAUX MM.LEON
FAUCHER and DESLONGRAIS thought that the holders
ought to be allowed their choice. M. LEON FAUCHER
was of opinion that it should be proposed that interest
at the rate of six per cent. should be allowed to
all those who would agree to leave their money in
the savings' banks and Bons du Tresor undisturbed for
more than six months. This plan, which would have
the advantage of retaining a portion of the floating
debt, and would facilitate at a future period the con-
tracting of a loan, was supported by MM. TRIERS
and GARNIER PAGES. The plan of affording assist-
ance to the Builders' Society, as proposed by M.
GOUDCHAUX, was considered dangerous in principle.
The general opinion appeared to be that a more effec -
tual plan of relief would be to assist the discount
banks.

The insurgents still continue to infest the:neigh-
bourhood of Paris, and to attack, isolated pickets of
troops and single travellers. They attacked a small
post at Ramonville on Monday, but fled after one of
their comrades had been killed by the fire of the
soldiers.
