The shoals of herrings are immense on the York-
shire coast, and are a great relief to the Poor during
the present high price of butcher's meat. On the

caught i i,OOO in a very short time, and two other '
cobles took above a last (to,000) close to the rocks
off High Whitby, not two miles from the mouth of.
the harbour.

In Paris there is never any complaint agains.: the
depredations of what are here called the Resta-re-Ilion
Men. The reason is, that. the Surgeon§ find sub-
jeds enough for dissediOn,„io the bodies of those
persons Who die in the hospitals, arid which are
always given up .'for that purpose. A similar
policy' is so far
.from being observed amongst us,
that before a Patient can be admitted into the Hos-
pital, security must be given for the expences of
burial in case of the person dying. The superior
policy of the French Hospitals saves both the ex_
pence of the burial, and of the clandestime resur-,
redion.

Balloons were justly considered as very extraor-
dinary things at starting, and people were very
curious to seethe process offilling them. But that
process. being :now so generally known, the trade of
an Aeronaut will be no longer very profitable, for
as soon as the machine,clears.the walls or' railings
by which is is surrounded, the, man who stands
outside. can see as much of it as he who iays his
money,
.It is not, therefore, surprizing, that the
subscription for 6ARNERI r s ascension. should have
failed at Bristol,

Mr.. QARNERIN has at length' discort.red that it
requires more. taints to 'raise a subscriptiol than-to
raise a ba/14a7/.
