AN EXTRAORDINAILY BROMETER.—AII the bare-
meters 'yet invented require correction When an observation
is made, but the rernote glen of Abliadhan can boost of one
which can be more relied on than evtn the Tort ;cellian ex-
periment itself. It consists simply of a stone, inside the wall
of the house occupied by the honest tenant of Achacuilinn,
Which, three days beforehand, prognosticates wet weather
with mathematical precision. The sign is, that it oozes out
drops of water. The natives hold that this wonderful stone
has been of incalculable service to them. In harvest, when
' the crop is cut down, but still unsecured, every eye in the
glen& is turned towards Tomas un Achaehuilinn, and when-
ever he begins to gather in the st)oks there is a simulta-
neous movement throughout the glen. Indeed, it is not un-
usual to see such a scene of hurry and bustle as this take
• place in the finest day in harvest, and when no ordinary
philosopher could say there was a cloud of rain in the sky.
Usage has transferred• the name barometer from the stone
to the owner; so that, in that and the surrounding district,
•
• the worthy tens ,nt of Achacuilian is familiarly saluted as the
Abriacban bar ?meter."—lnverness Courier.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1850.

ply this. - An institution was, open to him to which
he might fly for aid and succour ; but it was at the
same time said to him, that in return he must give
proof of repentance. No inducement to further crime
was held out to him. The utmost that was offered
to him was shelter of the poorest kind, food of the
meanest sort, a short course of religious instruction,
and teaching in some trade, whereby, after giving an
earnest of good character and intention, he might
obtain something like a testimonial with which
to go forth again into the world. That was all
that was held out by this dormitory to
those pOor creatures who were the outcasts
of the world. Let all consider what the pro-
position really was before they condemned it."
And having so considered it, it is difficult to conceive
any possible grounds for condemnation whatsoever.
Let any, we need not say any philanthropist, but any
individual endued with the most ordinary common
sense, picture to himself the forlorn condition and
the almost irresistible temptations of the once-con-
victed on their release from prison. In their case
daily is the saying verified which commemo•
rates the " facile " descent to " Avernus." But, in
proportion as unhappy circumstances make the re-
turn to virtue difficult, so the more zealous and the
more prompt should be the efforts of the powerful
and the charitable to make smooth that almost im-
practicable path which leads back from vice to honesty
The gocd effects of the Westminster establishment in
assisting in the reformation of the really repentant.
and at the same time the little attraction which its
severe training presents to those pretenders who
feign honesty for the sake of gaining thereby, is well
shown forth in the two following examples cited by
the Noble Chairman at the meeting. "He (Lord
ASHLEY) could give instances of the success of the
principle from his own knowledge. The Noble
Lord here read a letter he had received about a year
ago from a young man,7the purport of which was that
the writer applied to him in great agony of mind.
He had embezzled some money entrusted to biers
and had been justly committed to prison ; that he
was then liberated, and was thrown upon the world
without a character, and utterly pennilt ss.
In such a position, unless his Lordship assisted
him, he was a lost man. He (Lord ASHLEY) had
sent that letter to Mr. Naafi, who saw the writer
and, finding he was most anxious to reform, admitted
him into the dormitory. He passed through the
probation for a whole year, conducting himself with
the greatest propriety, expressing the strongest re-
gret for his past life ; and at the present moment he
was beyond.the seas, a free and independent citizen,
and had written to him (Lord ASHLEY) in terms of
the deepest gratitude. That case showed the value
of the probation, and the manner in which it ope-
rated when accepted. But he would give an in•
stance of an opposite kind, to show that it operated
equally well the other way. A few nights ago a
man of decent appearance addressed him in the
street as he was walking home, and told him that he
was a convicted criminal just discharged from prison,
and asked if he (Lord ASHLEY) could interpose to
save him from ruin. He sent the applicant to Mr.
NASH to decide what could be done, and Mr. NASH
afterwards informed him that the man did go, but
that when the probation he was to undergo was ex-
plained to him, he said he was not fitted to pass
through such a trial, and he went away. These
cases showed the value of the probation—how,
by GoD's blessing, and through perseverance, it
operated equally well upon those who were sin-
cere in their repentance and in repelling those
who only came to take whatever they could get."
After such convincing proofs of its practical efficacy
it appears hardly necessary to commend the institu-
tion to the cordial encouragement of the public. If,
however, it fails in obtaining support on philanthro-
pic grounds, how indisputable are its claims on
the score of economy. When we bear in
mind, as was mentioned at the meeting of
Thursday, that our criminal law expenses amount
to 2,000,0001. a year, while for the prison and con-
vict service the country has been paying and is paying
at the enormous rate of 2,0001. a day, the great im-
portance (merely in a financial point of view) of
such preventives of crime as the institution above
alluled to is most apparent. It has been proved
again and again, beyond the possibility of contra-
diction, that it is cheaper—far cheaper to
enable a man to be honest than to punish him for
being a thief, and yet, rather than:pay voluntarily the
one comparatively trivial amount, we prefer to be
compelled to contribute continually to the greater
and the enormous cost of our present criminal
establishments.

Her MAJESTY'S Government appear determined to
occupy the position of the " dog in the manger," ce-
lebrated in ancient fable. There are many subjects,
and those of no ordinary importance, which they will
neither undertake themselves nor permit independent
Members to meddle with. Their devotion to the
laissez faire policy, the vis inertia to which they are
so deeply attached, prevent them from making any
exertion on their own part, and they feel a strong dis-
inclination to permit others to bear away the laurels
which are within their own reach, if they only take
the trouble of plucking them. Their highest ambition
appears to be to do nothing themselves, and to prevent
others from doing anything. To obstruct and impede,
every measure calculated to promote the welfare and
prosperity of the nation is the object to the attain-
ment of which all their energies are directed, and we
regret to say that they are too often successful, and
that their efforts are but too well seconded by a mar
jority of the chosen representatives of the people.
The proceedings with respect to the Irish Fisheries
Bill afford a strong illustration of the Ministerial
policy. The inland-coast and deep-sea fisheries con-
stituted mines of national wealth; but these mines
remained comparatively un wrought and unproductive
from a variety of causes that could easily be dis-
covered and ascertained. In the former—the inland
fisheries—this untoward result was chiefly ascribablf
to the acknowledged deficiencies of the existing law.
There had, within the last thirty years, been a la-
mentable falling off in the quantity of salmon that
entered the various rivers from the sea. These fish had
previously afforded a large supply of nutritious and
agreeable food to the people, and not merely amuse-
ment, but very considerable profit to the proprietors
of land in the different districts. But, owing to the
enormous destruction of the spawning fish on the
beds by poachers, the obstructions interposed by
the fixed weirs and mill-dams to the fish in ascend-
ing the rivers, and the vast number captured
or killed in these dams on their return to the sea,
when comparatively worthless, this great diminution
has taken place. An Act had undoubtedly been
passed in 1842, 5 and 6 Vctoria, c. 106, on the sub-
ject, owing to the continued importunities of the
country gentlemen. The principle of the measure
had, we believe, been decided on when the Noble
Lord the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster was
Chief Secretary for Ireland, but it was carried
through Parliament under his successor, the present
Earl ST. GERMANS. This measure, although in the
right direction, was by no means adequate
to the exigency of the case ; it did not
remove the ambiguity of phraseology with
regard to the definition of what were public and
private rights, that had led to such expensive and
vexatious litigation, and it did not impose penalties
sufficient to enforce its salutary provisions. It was
speedily discovered that something additional was re-
quired, not only to restore the former condition of
the salmon fishery, but to retain it, even in its
deteriorated condition. The attention of the Govern-
ment was forcibly directed to the subject, and a strong
memorial was presented by a deputation of gentle-
men deeply interested in the question to the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland, in the month of May, 1848.
Another Act, commonly called the " Rod Act," was
brought in last year by the Irish Secretary, but that
Right Honourable Gentleman candidly admitted, at
the time, that it was a mere temporary measure, and
that additional legislation would be necessary.
Under such circumstances, the Hon. Member for

Youghal, who had evinced most praiseworthy zeal and
considerable information on the question, obtained a
Committee, who closely investigated and published a
well-considered and elaborate report on the entire
subject. The Government not being prepared with
any measure, a Bill was prepared, founded on these
recommendations, which was brought in by
Mr. ANSTEY, who obtained leave for its in-
troduction and carried it through the first
reading. On Wednesday it stood for the
second reading. The Hon. Gentleman, however, can-
didly stated that, " having received several sugges-
tions fur its amendment, it was his intention to move
that it should be committed pro forma, with a view
to the introduction of amendments." This was a
course frequently adopted, and to which no reason-
able objection could be entertained. The Chief
Secretary for Ireland, who appeared as the represen-
tative of the Government, resisted this course. Me
admitted that the Bill contained "clauses of which
he approved," and that " some legislation was neces-
sary ; " but he suggested that the present Bill should
be withdrawn, and another introduced in its place.
This course, which would prevent the possibility of
any enactment being sanctioned during the present
session, was very properly rejected by Mr. ANSTEY,
and the result was, that the entire power of the
Government was directed against the further progress
of the Bill, and on the second reading it was thrown
out by a majority of 160.
We deeply regret this decision. If there was any
prospect of a Ministerial measure being substituted
during the present year, we should wait patiently,
and we have no doubt that Mr. ANSTEY would
be satisfied to relinquish the honour which
he so well deserved ; but, unfortunately, no
pledge has been, or will be, given by the Irish Secre-
tary. All that could be elicited from Sir WILLIAM
SOMERVILLE, in answer to the anxious inquiries as to
the course which would now be adopted, was the
rather vague assurance that he would do that "which
the discharge of his public duty denianded." There
may, however, and we doubt not will, be many con-
flicting opinions on that point. We believe that duty
requires the speedy introduction of a Bill or Bills
for the encouragement and regulation, not
merely of the inland, but also of the coast
fisheries, and that these subjects should receive
the immediate attention which their vast importance so
eminently demands. We fear, however, that the Go-
vernment will pursue their usual policy, and content
themselves with having obstructed the laudable
exertions of private Members without being disposed
to 'wake any adequate effort themselves to remedy
admitted evils.

CABINET COUNCIL.—(Tans DAY).—A Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign-office this afternoon
at one o'clock. The Ministera present were Lord
John Russell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Grey,
Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Carlisle, Sir George
Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis
T. Baring, the Earl of Minto, Sir John C. Hobbouse,
the Right Hon. H. Laboucherr, and the Right Hon.
Fox Maule. The Lord Chancellor and the Marquis
of Clanricarde were absent through indisposition.

CONVALESCENCE 07 LORD JOHN RIISSELL.—We
are happy to state that the Noble Premier is sufficiently
recovered from his recent indisposition to be enabled to
attend to his Parliamentary duties. The Noble Lord
was in his place in the House of Commons last evening,
for the first time since his illness. His Lordship ap-
pears to be still very weak, and his answers to the
various questions that were addressed to him were made
in so weak a tone of voice as to be scarcely audible.
REVIEW OF THE 11TH LIGHT DRAGOONS BY PRINCE
ALUERT.—Yesterday being appointed by Prince Albert for
the review of the 11th Hussars, on Wimbledon-common,
preparatory to the removal of the regiment to Norwich, from
an early hour in the morning the ground was crowded with
thousands of persons of all ranks, and several carriages con-
taining the elite of society. Shortly after nine o'clock the
whole strength of the regiment (with the exception of the
barrack guards and the orderlies on duty at the Horse
Guards), consisting of about 350 mounted men, arrived
from Hounslow and Kensington Barracks. The usual ca-
valry exercising ground having been marked out by the
brigade major and staff; the regiment took up the position
assigned them. The ground was kept by videttes, told
off from the several troops, assisted by a strong force
of the metropolitan police. At half-past ten o'clock the
Earl of Cardigan, Colonel of the regiment, arrived and
took the command, and soon after his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, attended by the Hon. Lieut.-Colonel A. Gordon,
Colonel Wemyss, &c., came on the ground, and was re-
ceived with the usual honours, the band playing the National
Anthem. His Royal Highness and staff (the regiment hav-
ing taken open order) inspected minutely the men, arms
and accoutrements, after which, having marched past in
slow time at a trot, they went through the whole of the • ca-
valry evolutions; and notwithstanding that the ground was
not in a state fit for cavalry movements, nevertheless the
evolutions were performed with rapidity and precision. The
regiment having been again formed into line, a royal salute
was given, and the troops marched back to their quarters
(Hounslow and Kensington). The right division of this
corps will march to Norwich on Monday next, and will be
relieved by the 16th Lancers.

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—The following gentlemen
passed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs-
day :—Daniel Henry George Wildbore, Old-street; Harry
Speakman Webb, Oxford; William Bayldon, Royston • Wil-
liam Swift, Wade, Leeds; Michael Sweetman, St. 'John-
street ; Joseph Williams, Portlooe, Cornwall; Henry Searle
Gay, Minehead, Somerset; Robert Thomas Elsarn Cooke;
Thomas Moyles, Queen's County; William Gordon Wotton,
King's Langley; Harward Kean, Marlborough, Wilts; Wil-
liam Skinner, Stockton-on-Tees; Edward Doyle, Irishtown,
Dublin ; James Henry Crisp, Bath ; and Henry Parfitt, Bru-
ton, Somerset.

have presented a memorial to Sir George Grey, to the effect
"That the society have during the agitation, and unhappily
the dissensions to which the discuision of the question of me-
dical reform has given rise, steadily persevered in carrying
out the objects of the Legislature, by improving the curricu-

who seek their certificate, and they will continue to do so as
long as they retain the confidence of the Legislature; and

in their opinion, go far to remove the objections which exist

England and Wales, but the kingdom at large."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
with a fair demand at previous rates. The sales were
estimated, at 12,000 bales, of which 5,000 were taken
on speculation.—ln Railway Shares a good business
was done, at rather higher quotations.
The employment for money has obviously not in-
creased lately as far as the Bank of England is con-
cerned, or otherwise the weekly statement of the cor-
poration, made up to the 4th inst., is under the influ-
ence of the re-payment of loans granted while the
transfer-bouks were closed. The addition to the Go-
vernment balance has likewise rather exceeded the re-
tirement of other deposits. The circulation has de-
clined a little and there is a slight diminution in the
bullion. Compared with the previous week the fol-
lowing results are shown:—

It is noted with some degree of surprise that the
transactions in Bills of Exchange drawn upon the prin-
cipal cities of the continent represent a corers, atively
small amount, and many experienced men seem
rather at a loss to account for it when they look at our
export returns, and acknowledge, as they do, that pri-
vate credit was seldom firmer. Perhaps a solution of
the problem might be found in the fact, that there being
little or no speculation going on, paper is less wanted.
Fatties buy and sell as usual, but the principle of barter
is brought into more active operation to the comfort and
advantage of all. The condition of credit in some places
Austria for example, is quite an exception to the stet..
,f affairs here, and our merchants have been compelled,
from regard to their own safety, to decline dealing in
bills drawn upon Vienna. The merchants of that city,
%termed as they well may be at such an unusual, but
under circumstances, doubtless advisable course, have
memorialised their overnment in favour of decided mea-
Aires, some public declaration even, that may restore
confidence; and this has been promised, but not yet per-
formed, fur prolably the best of all reasons, viz., inabi-
lity to give satisfactory explanations. The Austrian
Government having failed partially, despite the inflated
reports of high premiums for the scrip, &c., in obtaining
its recent loan, is reduced to great straits, and private
confidence is impaired by public deficiency. A bold and
plain-dealing Ministry would at once grapple with the
difficulty, instead of allowing it to undermine confidence
and ftter commerce. The terms upon which bills of
90 days' date were negotiated yesterday on the Royal
Exchange were these:—Paris, 25.771 to 80; Amster-
Jam. 12 3 to 31; Hamburgh, 13 124 to 13; Frankfurt,
