TWEED SALMON FISHING.—Ou the whole the
Tweed salmon fishings during the past week have been
more productive than for some weeks past ; salmon and
grilse improved much in the beginning of the week, but
have since fallen off, probably owing to the extremely
fine weather. Salmon are still far from being so nuns'
rous as in former seasons ; there is not so much to con"
plain of as regards grilse, whilst trouts are a fair fishing.
Within the last two or three days the sea-coast stations
have fished better, while those in the river have not been
so productive. This is probably owing to the ate
weather.—Berwick Advertiser.

An ordinance of the Prefect of Police, posted in
Paris, regulates the prices of transport for articles destined
for the Universal Exhibition of 1867. All goods (objects
of art excepted), carriages, animals, and rolling stock,
capable of circulation on French railways, and intended
for the Exhibition, are to be conveyed by rail at half the
usual price. By virtue of this reduction the companies
will bo exempted from all responsibility as to any accidents
that may happen to the articles so transported, whatever
be the cause, and even in the case of mishaps in loading or
unloading. The carriage of objects of art and value Will
be be charged at the usual prices and on the usual conditionS•
The conveyance in Paris is to be effected either by the
exhibitors themselves, or by the railway companies at the
rate of 10fr. per ton.

In the Pall Mall Gazette we notice the following:
—Am-ong the rumours of the last week, more or less
noted, has been that of the offer of the Under-Secretary
ship of Foreign Affairs to Lord Wharncliffe. If this is VI
his lordship has shown much discretion in declining 0°
appointment, and has probably saved the nascent Govera-
ment from a considerable difficulty in their transactions
with the Atnerican Government. Their President
Cabinet are daily winning more and more the respect and
goodwill of the people. of England, and their good humour
would have been taxed over much had they received de-
spatches signed by a name associated with the bitterest
incidents of the rebellion.
The Pall Mall Gazette states that " the press of
Saxony suffers greatly from the Prussian occupation. Oil°
half of the newspapers have been forced to shut up their
offices, and the others, except the _Dresden Journal and the
Dresden News, only publish half a sheet with exclusivell
official intelligence. On the 2d the two editors well
brought to Dresden from Chemnitz under a military escort
—Professor Lamprocht, of the Chemnitz Journal, and °L)..,
Liebig, of the Chemnitz News. A great crowd assembled
at the station and accompanied the two prisoners, With
cheers and other expressions of sympathy, to the bead'
quarters of the guard."

The Archbishops and Bishops have given their
assent to the establishment of a new class of ministrants in
the Church of England. They are to be called " Readers'
and will bo entitled to perform all the duties hitherto 10"
longing to the clergy alone in outlying districts of large
parishes, mission churches being provided for them. They
are to year surplices but not stoles, and are not to be de-
signated "Reverend." They are to be sot apart for the;,
office by special religious services, but are not to reeell
the episcopal imposition of hands as at the ordination 42f
1;
the clergy. In the diocese of London rules have bee
drawn up for their guidance, and have received the aPPI.,°...
val of the bishop. A large number of laymen have already
offered themselves for this new form of Church work,
