THE CHANNEL FISHERIES.

The following Bill has lately been passed by the
French Chamber of Deputies :
Art. 1 declares that "all infractions of the regulations
of June 23, 1843, relative to the Channel Fisheries,
committed by a French subject, or any other individual
on board a French vessel, shall be tried by the correc-
tional police of the arrondissement, in which is situated
the port to which the boat of the offending party be-
longs.

Art. 2 states that " the proceedings can only take place
on the complaint of the Commissary of the French
maritime inscription, or of the English consular agent
acting for his countrymen, without prejudice to the right
of the civil party to bring forward the matter by direct
summons."

Art. 3. " All acts and proceedings shall be on un-
stamped paper, and the assignations and acts shall be
delivered free of cost." -
which shall be in contravention to the regulations esta-
blished for each kind of fishing, shall warrant the seizure
of such articles, and render the offending party liable to
a fine of from 10E to 75f., and an imprisonment of from
two to ten days."
Art. 5. " All persons contravening the measures of
precaution and interdiction expressed in the general re-
gulations, relative to the numbers and names to be
painted on each boat, the distances to be observed in
fishing, the casting of spillers or nets, the lights dis-
played, &c., shall be liable to a fine of from 10E to
1125 f., or to an imprisonment of from five to fifteen
days."
Art. 6. " Other infractions shall be punished:--1.
By the seizure and destruction of the nets and fishing
implements, improperly used. 2. By a fine of from 10f.
to 250 f., and an imprisonment of two days to a month."
Art. 7. "In case of recidive, the punishment shall be
doubled. The case will be considered one of recidive.
when the person so offending shall have been condemned
within the preceding two years."
Art. 8. " Whenever fishermen shall have committed
at sea acts of violence against other firshermen, or shall
have wilfully caused them damage or loss, the tribunal
can condemn such offenders to an imprisonment not ex-
ceeding twenty days, or a fine not going beyond 125 f.
Should there be, at the same time, contravention to the •
rgulations respecting fishing, the fine or imprisonment
inflicted for such offence may be cumulated on the
punishment of the other offence."
Art. 9. " When the case is brought before the correc-
tional police, the amount of damages civilly claimed
must also be stated."
Art. 10. " All civil actions for damages brought as
account of contravention of the general regulations not
proceeded with in virtue of Art 2, or for acts relative to
fishing between French fishermen, or between French
and English fishermen, shall be carried whatever the
amount, before thejuge de paix of the residence of the
defendant."
Art. 11. "Every nation, whether relating to the
offences provided for by the regulations, or to civil dis-
putes relative to fishing, shall be prescribed after the
lapse of three months,dating from the day when the act
shall have taken place.ff
Art. 12. "Every individual on board a French fishing
boat, accused of having committed, against an English-
man or a Frenchman, in the seas lying between the coast
of France and those of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, an act qualified as crime by the
French law, shall be tried in the ordinary forms by the
Court of Assizes of the department in which is situated
the port to which the vessel belongs."
Art. 13. " When an English subject shall be arrested
and taken to a French port in execution of Arts. 64, 65,
and 66 of the general regulations, the infraction shall
be ascertained by the jugs de paix of the canton ; this
magistrate shall proceed, in conformity with the pro-
visions of Art. 49 of the Code of Criminal Instruc-
tion."
Art. 14. " When an English subject shall be arrested
and carried into a French port, in conformity with Art,
89 of the general regulations, for contravention of Art.
76 and the following of the said regulations, he shall be
tried by the Tribunal of the Correctional Police, within
the jurisdiction of which is situated the port to which
he has been carried, and shall be punished, if
_fou
guilty, by a fine not exceeding 250 f. In case of n on-

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK—Loss OF LIFU.—By the
Cambria steamer, which arrived in the Mersey on Thursday
afternoon, intelligence of a distressing nature has come to
hand, announcing the appalling shipwreck of the Kalscrona,
a Swedish Indiaman, and loss of no fewer than 115 lives, in
a dreadful storm off the coast of Matanzas. From all we
heve been able to collect, she appears to have been one of
the largest class in the Swedish mercantile service. In all
there were 133 persons on board. The last port she touched
at was Havannah, where she shipped a valuable cargo. On
her departure the intention of the commander was to pro-
ceed direct to Sweden. On the morning of the Ist of May,
when the ship was ahead of the coast of Mantanza,
she encountered one of the fiercest hurricanes ever ex-
perienced in that quarter, during the height of which she
capsized and instantly sunk, carrying with her 115 persons
—every soul of whom were lost. Seventeen of the crew
managed to lay hold of one of the ship's cutters, which, as
the vessel went down, floated over the deck and saved them.
They endured the greatest privation, being without pro-
visions and water for several days. They were picked up on
the sixth day after the deplorable occurrence, in lat. 25,
long. 80. In the course of the same storm, or, as it has been
termed tonardo, no fewer than thirteen vessels were driven,
ashore on the coast at Cape Cause. Many lives were lost.
Amongst the ships wrecked were the Princess Alice Maude,
of London, and the St. Martin, from Liverpool. Both were
insured to a large amount.
A Berlin letter informs us that the King of Prussia
has charged his Royal Highness the Prince of _ Prussia to
proceed to Prague, to
pay his respectsiiin to the Empress of
Russia, and express the regret of the gat her not visit-
ing Berlin.
