PRICE 4D. STAMPED,

THE FRENCH- FISHEAI.

PARIS, MAY 15, 7 A.M.—The debate on the fishery
question was resumed in the Senate on Monday,
and lasted till half-past six o'clock in the afternoon.
Admiral Remain Desfosses supported strenuously
and at Much length the petition from the Channel
ports against the supplementary convention of Nov,
16th between England and France, reducing the
import duty on English fish to 12f. instead of 48f.
As I mentioned the other day, the Admiral opposed
the reduction, 'on the ground of the serious injury
which, they alleged, would thereby accrue -to the
classes engaged in these fisheries, and which would
seriously affect the maritime inscription, and, as a
necessary consequence, the naval power of France.
In reply to the allegation that the parties interested
had accepted the convention, and now only demanded
the abolition of the vexatious regulations imposed on
the exercise of their calling,Admiral Des.Aes read a
let ter,which he had just received from Baulogne-sur-
Mer, stating that the pet" the
convention, but that when h of
November was issued the: ,et of
sovereign power, against 'otest
was unavailing, and that it ;hen,
they demanded, by way 01
advantage which would al 'atal

English fisheries.

you have now to decide on a (*cation of the
highest national interest. Your committee thinks

ech
Inch
isin-

that the negotiators of the convention of the 16th
of November have acted under theinfluence of the
very natural anxieties raised hp the difficult com-
mercial mission intrusted to them, and, that they
have seen in the enormous redhcfion of the pro•
tecting duties in favour of our national fisheries
merely a question of political economy and of
secondary interest. That error your committee
was imperatively bound to point out to you while
it was still time, and to prevent the consequences
of it. We believe the error may be repaired, for
the simple reason that it is a question of justice,
and that we have a right to expect from the great
nation with which we have made a pact an
honesty and a good-will equal to those of which
the august head of this empire has given so many
striking proofs. But, if as the Minister-President
of the Council of State (who is again deceived on
this point) has intimated, this fatal transaction
(the reduction of the duty) is to be considered as a
fact, the Hon. Mr. Cobden—the lucky agent of a
policy the utility of which no one will hence-
forth dispute—will have earned his claim to repose
some day in Westminster Abbey, or in St. Paul's
Cathedral, side by side with Nelson, the daring
vanquisher of a navy the select crews of which the
revolutionary tempest has swept away. For my
own part, gentlemen, as the insufficient "defender,
but one thoroughly impressed by a great and just
cause, it only remains to utter my complaints to God
that I have lived long enough to see the navy of
France, to which I have devoted with enthusiasm
more than 50 years of my life, struck at its very
heart." (Great emotion, and prolonged applause.)
M. Dupin cried out " Accept our thanks,
Admiral." (Bravo, bravo.)
M. Rouher refuted at much length the argu-
ments of Admiral Desfosses. He showed that it
was the vexatious regulations, entering into every
detail of their equipments, for carrying on their
trade, fixing the hour of their departure from port,
the number of nets they were to use, and the num-
ber of men they were to employ, which really in-
jured the trade. With respect to the evil prognos-
tications so generally expressed as to the fatal com.
sequences to native industry of the abolition of pro-
hibitory duties, and the reduction of high protective
ones, he said, in conclusion—" On the subject of
the removal of Customs prohibitions one of our
honourable colleagues, inspired by true patriotism,
said to me, You make me lose 100,000 f. of income
by your Commercial Treaty, for my sale of timber
will produce me 100,1100 f. less.' Now I believe
that, on the contrary, he has this year gained
150,000 f. Such is the result. I well remember
that before the war in Italy people were under the
influence of deep emotion, and petitions were
crowding in upon us. One of our honourable col-
leagues, who was the reporter on that occasion,
was much engaged with this question ; he was
terrified at it ; he studied it with great interest, and
sought information from the President of the
National Committee. It was loudly proclaimed that
if prohibition were abolished the manufacture of
implements would disappear; that industry would
be annihilated; that materials would not be re-
newed ; and, it was added, that, owing to the per-
nicious -doctrines of free trade, ruin would Ito accu-
mulated on ruin. Well, then, the Commercial
Treaty has been signed, and is about to be carried
into execution, and what has become of these
sinister predictions I' I have here a letter
from the North of France, the centre of agita-
tions and of the petition movement. What
does it tell me ? Why, that for twenty years past
there has been no such renewal of materials as that
which the Commercial Treaty has given rise to for
the last six months. We had been told that the
spinners would find no more work, and that the
weavers would renounce their trade. But we worked
80,000,000 kilogrammes of cotton last year, and
125,000,000 this year; and this, not merely pass-
ing, as was said in another place, from the entrepot
to the general depot, but entering into the general
consumption. I believe, gentlemen, that the appre-
hension felt by Admiral Romain Desfosses is as
unfounded as that which was then experienced in
the case of the timber interests. Transmit, then, if
you wish it, the report to the proper Ministers;
this sort of matters must always be the order of the
day. I offer no opposition to your transmitting the
report. I even ask of you to do so, for I also desire
to make one day an inventory of all these terrors.
Yes, I desire that in two or three years hence the
Admiral, for whom I profess the sincerest friend-
ship—l desire, I say, that we meet in this Chamber,
and that we shall together draw up the list of these
fears, when public opinion shall have been com-
pletely enlightened on the point."
Cardinal Mathieu also spoke at some length on
the same subject, recommending the utmost caution
in making changes, and also that the plans for
maintaining and encouraging national fisheries
which were practised in England should be exa-
mined in France, with a view to borrowing from
them.

Admiral Rigault de Genouilly spoke in support
of the petitioners and of the report of his brother
Admiral, Itomain Desfosses. After alluding to the
advanced state of the English marine establishment,
1 he said in conclusion,—" Is it astonishing, gentle-
' men, I ask you, that in presence of these new con-
ditions imposed on the relative force of France
and England as a maritime Power—is it astonish-
ing that we should energetically reject any
sacrifice of the maritime conscription, as compro-
mising, as the hon. Admirals, our colleagues, have
told you, for the honour of our flag as for
the security of the territory of the empire ? Where
is the exaggeration ? for we have been charged with
exaggeration ; and if that exaggeration, which I
deny, did exist, would it not be very pardonable in
general officers, who, after all, come hereto defend
their companions in arms, the founders of their
military fortune ? (Warm applause.) These dig-
nities, ranks and crosses, which have devolved on
us—the envied honour, gentlemen Senators, which
has been conferred on us to sit among you—how,
after all, have they been acquired ? They have
been acquired by mingling our blood and our suc-
cess with the blood and the success of the maritime
conscripts. (Fresh applause.) Though in the com-
monen work we have been the head, they have

"M. Ronher—That is to resolve the
the question, Admiral. '
" Vice-Admiral de Genouilly-7I maintain my
opinion, M. ROUher.. f say 'that your argumea,
however brilliant it may be, has rot convinced me,
..! nor reassured me as- to the fate of the men com-
posing the maritime conscription. You will re-
collect, gentlemen Senators, that in fact the
formation of the maritime inscription responds to
the glorious annals of Duquesne, Tourville, Jean-
Bart, and Duguay-Trouin. These are some of the-
great seamen, for I. do not name them all, whi
crowded round its cradle. At a later period yeti-
find the maritime conscript. under the flag of
D'Estaing and of the Bailli de Suffren. They-were-
modest artisans of fishery and commerce, and, on
the day they were required, artisans of victory who
fell round the immortal Ducouedic, on the ensan-
guined decks of La Surveillante. The fisherman of
the previous day became the hero of the morrow.
(' Very well ! very well !') If the voice of the illus-
trious Admiral Duperre could again make itself
heard in this assembly it would tell you, gentlemen
Senators, the value of the maritime inscription. It
would 'speak to you with that authority attached
to the recollection of our brilliant successes in the..
Indian Seas. . The maritime inscription approaches :•
you, gentlemen Senators, under the
aegis of the .
glorious past. It is in the name of the past—it is
in the name of the future, that it claiins your ele-
vated solicitude. Guardian of the laws which
secure the defence of the Imperial territory, the
Senate, we trust, will show itself favourable to this
great institution, and will adopt the conclusions of
the committee. We ask of you at the same time,
gentlemen Senators, that the.petition of the fisher-
men of the northern ports and of the Channel be
all three referred to the Ministers of Foreign
Affairs, of Marine, and of Commerce." (Marked
approbation.)
'M. Baroche, President of the Council of State,
supported the supplementary convention on the
same grounds as his colleague. the Minister of Com-
merce and Public Works. He was replied to by
Admiral Romain Desfosses, against the convention.
The Admiral happening to observe that he believed-
the English were in general better men of business
than the French, M. Dupin was kind enough to
interrupt him, and cried, "They are more cunning."
On the division there appeared a large majority
for sending up the report to the Minister of Com-
merce, Marine and Foreign Affairs—a proposition
which the Government had at first resisted, but
subsequently accepted.

TSB DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE
NEAR NEWCASTLE.

The coroner's inquest on this painful affair has
been held at Eighton Banks. The evidence adduced
did little more than confirm the account already
given of the murder and suicide.
Thomas Stoker, the husband of the murderess,
said he was a pitman, and the two murdered
children, his daughters, were aged respectively
three years and six months. He went to Newcastle
on Saturday afternoon, leaving his wife and four
children at home. On his return home he found
that two 4:f them, Ann and Jane, were locked out
of the house by her mother, who had locked herself
in with the two children, Mary and Margaret, al-
luded to above. He obtained an entrance to the
house, and, he continued, " I saw all three lying
alongside each other in bed with their throats cut.
I did not stay, but immediately asked the neigh-
hours to go in, but they were afraid to do so, as I
said they were all dead. I then went back and
took a calmer view, and then went for the doctor.
When I went in a second time one of the neigh-
bours came in. Mr Davis'a assistant (Mr. Turbock)
came back with me when I went for the doctor, and
Mr. Davis came soon afterwards. They sewed my
wife's throat up, and I saw a little motion in the
fingers of the right hand. After a time she reco-
vered sufficiently to be able to speak. I asked her
what she had done such an act as this for ? She
said it was done and could not be undone; I must
make the best of it. There were neighbours in the
house, and she could then speak distinctly. This
was after the doctor left. At first when I spoke to
her, I said, " Mary," and she looked me in the face
and then raised her left hand over her head, and on
putting my hand down in the direction she pointed,
I found the razor. It was on the pillow, but under
the sheet. It was all bloody. (Produced). I asked
her towards morning what she did it for, and she
said she was out of her head. She spoke quite sen-
sibly. We did not wish to torture her; but on
questioning her further, ghe said she did not wish.
to leave her children behind her. She also said the
children did not make any work. She asked me
where I had the elder children. She had always
behaved remarkably well to her children, and never
did anything to cause me to suspect that she would
do this.

Mr. Robert Davis, the surgeon who was called.
in, said, Mary Stoker, the mother, was lying in the
same bed along with the dead children, with her
throat cut. She was sensible, and only remarked
that it was a bad job. I examined the wounds of
the children. Mary bad a deep cut across the front
of the throat, about three inches in length, and ex-
tending through the windpipe. There have been
two cuts upon the neck to complete the incision.
The wound is jagged, and there is a mark of a pre-
vious cut upon the windpipe. The first attempt
had not been successful. She had died from loss of
blood in consequence of those cuts. She had a slight
cut by the side of the nail of the fore finger on the
loft hand, Thero ore nn other i &iltc upuu it The
little one, Margaret, had two separate wounds upon
the throat—one about an inch in length, and super.
ficial, which had not done any great damage, having
merely cut through the skin on the lower part of
the neck ; the other was higher up, and was much
deeper, and extended through the windpipe. Loss
of blond in consequence of the two wounds was the
cause of her death.

Thomas Stoker, the husband, was recalled, and
said that since his wife had her last child she had
been depressed in spirits, and this depression had
increased during the time that he had been out of
work. She had never been in a low way before
the last baby was born. For the last six or eight
weeks she imagined that she had no milk, but the
child still sucked the breast. She had never
threatened the children, but at low times she had
sometimes said she did not care if she was dead.

The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder
against Mary Stokes, and that she " died from the
effects of a cut on the throat by her own hand, when
in a state of melancholia."

A POOR CURATE'S STORY.

A poor country curate writes to the Secretary of
the Clerical Fund and Poor Clergy Relief Society :
—" Not possessing any private property, as a family
man, with the strictest and most rigid regard to
economy, it is next to impossible to meet my neces-
sary expenses. I am a curate in sole charge, the
rector being non-resident. Although nearly 60
years of age, my income is not very much above £9O
per year. In a former curacy it was £5O only, and
no house. To eke out my income Tam compelled to
have recourse to charity. If not, I should be irre-
vocably in debt. After all, although I have not a large
family, it is only by tasking ingenuity and economy
to the utmost, that we can get along with anything
like comfort and keep up appearances. To give
some idea of what are the actual privations of
clergymen thus circumstanced, facts need only be
stated. In my own case, for instance, living in a
village with little society, I should be glad occa-
sionally to invite a friend to stay with us fri2n3., a_
distance. But we cannot do it on account of the
expense. During the last 10 years

want of it, but I cannot afford to pay for it. There-
fore Igo without. For years I have myself been in
the habit of bu •
yin g second-hand clothing, preferring
it to the embarrassment of getting things on credit
and not being able to pay for them punctually.
This I have done even to hats and shoes ! But it
is a degradation that I have painfully felt, and
dreaded the thought of being accidentally disco-
vered. Other unbeneficed clergymen I know to be
equally bad off. But it is systematically concealed
even from each other. In fact, our privations are
little suspected by those around us. Our very next
door neighbours have no suspicions of them. We
fear lest the knowledge of our necessities should
degrade us in the estimation even of our poorer
parishioners, and lessen our influence for good
amongst them. But it presses heavily upo n our
spirits in private, and not unfrequently enervates
our efforts in public."
