HERRING FISHING.—WICK.--.The great
sea harvest of this country, and indeed of the whole extent
of the east coast of Scotland, is now in progress here—we
mean the herring fishery. During last week the take was
moderate, and not general. Some boats fished nearly or
up to 30 grans each night. The weather was favourable,
the wind N.N.W., with little variation, and in every
instance so moderate as to admit the boats proceeding to
sea. Of 1,000 boats from Wick alone, the deliveries

average 15 to 20 crans per boat; one boat contained
upwards of 80 crane. The fishing during the week in
the southward has greatly surpassed the achievements at
Wick within the period alluded to, which shows that the
shoals are not only dense, but in great progress towards
the Forth. Calculating the value of the cran of herrings
to the fishermen, at the standard prices, 1 ls. each, and
allowing 1,000 boats only had been employed on Friday
evening, and that each boat had taken the minimum of 15
crane, there must have been earned by the fishermen from
Wick alone, for that night's labour, 5,2501.--or 1/. ISt.
each man. Many of the curers will be unable to finish
the preparation of their stocks of herrings for the barrel,
and must merely " roose" or sprinkle the fish with salt
until the succeeding Monday. No accident has occurred
during the fishing.—Edinburgh Observer.

THE HOUSE TAX.—(From a Correspon-
dent.)-0a Friday night a meeting of the Westminster
Central Committee for the repeal of the house tax wp.B
held at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, Mr.
WYLD in the chair. A letter from Mr. HUME, explaining
that be withdrew his motion in consequence of the pledge
given by the Chancellor of the Excheoner that the re-
peal of the house tax should take pbwe, was read. Mr.
Baowti observed, that be hoped the labours of the Cen-
tral Committee were at an end, and the pledge given by
the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer would be adhered
to by him, so as to prevent them from being under the
necessity of compelling the Noble Lord to do that which
he had voluntarily engaged to do. He proposed a reso-
lution to the effect, that while the meeting regretted that
their most sanguine expectations had not been realized,
they confided in the communication of Lord Avrnoftr,
that the house tax would be repealed next session. After
some ifiscus,ion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.
A resolution to the effect that the meeting renewed their
pledge not to dissolve until the total repeal of the house
tax was effected, and that they should adjourn to the first
Thursday after the meeting of Parliament the next session,
was agreed to, and the meeting separated.

GROSS INYATUATION.—In our last we men-
tioned the ravings of one HANNAH BEEDHAM, whose
trances and predictions and street preachings had gained her
no small degree of notoriety among the religious of a certain
caste. A short time since she predicted the day and hour
of her own death, which was to take place on Thursday
week, in the village of Kelfield, about ten miles from
York. Thither she retired to meet the consummation of
her prediction, and thither many hundreds of believers
followed her, mostly dressed in mourning, to testify their
reverence by at ending her obsequies. The dyers were
busily employed in giving the funeral colour to garments
of various descriptions for the great occasion. It is an ill
wind that blows nobody good, so says the proverb, and
the ferryman experienced its truth, for he netted 151. by
conveying over those who went to be present at sister
HANNAH'S departure. Tl.e prophetess lay in waiting for
her change, sometimes holding conversation with the
celestial beings she was so soon to join, and anon, exhort-
ing the tenants of mortality she was so soon to leave.
The Methodist chapel was opened, and numbers assembled
there to pray : processions, singing funeral hymns, passed
along the village street, and altogether the scene was one
of the most extraordinary of modern times. The predicted
hour came and passed away, and HANNAH continued
amongst her earthly friends. Some, willing to be con•
vinced, remained all night, but when morning came, and
found HANNAH still an inhabitant of the lower sphere,
they gave up their faith. One fact must be told : how-
ever soiritually-minded the devotees must be, they did not
live by faith alone, for the three hotels of Kelfield were
empty to the 1 irder and cellar, and even the adjacent
orchards and turnip-fields gave proof of having had a visi-
tation.--Leeds Intelligencer.
