LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 24, 1866.

The ruinous
price to which butchers' meat has
risen, which has placed it altogether beyond the
reach of
the
access to the poor, and made it very difficult of
lower ranks of the middle classes, ren-
ders any question
connected with our fisheries both
interesting •and important.
bountiful toNature has been so
Us this respect that it is only from
mismanagement and
prejudice that our population
is ever in want
cheap 'wholesome, nourishing
food. The statistics which have been supplied on
the subject give us reason to believe that a much
larger supply of food can be obtained from an acre
of sea fishing ground than from an acre of cultivated
land, while there is very little doubt that with care
and cultivation a much larger proportion might be
had. The number of our railways in constant com-
munication with the coast would make it very easy
to supply all our large towns and populous places
with good cheap fish ; and if by any means the ex-
tortionate profit of the retail dealers could be re-
duced our working classes would be able to get
cheap and wholesome dinners, which would be espe-
cially advantageous at a time of scarcity like the
present. The constantly increasing number of those
who buy butchers' meat has told for some time past
on prices and supply, and if we could bring fish into
more general use it would be a great boon not only
to the working classes but to those immediately
above them. The motion of Mr. CAVE, last even-
ing, had reference to the convention existing be-
tween the English and French Governments respect-
ing the deep sea oyster fisheries. It seems that this
treaty or conyeAti_9/1 is the source of continual loss
