LINE Or STEAMERS TO ALEXANDRIA.—A company
has recently been formed for the establishment of a re-
gular line of screw.steamers to ply between Liverpool and
Alexandria, the first of whose vessels, the Nile, a new and
splendid craft, has just arrived from the yard of the
popular builders, Messrs. A. Denny and Brother, Dum-
barton. She is considered a superb model, and her
engines, fittings, furniture, &c., are of the most beautiful
and perfect workmanship. She is commanded by Captain
ltulkeley, late of the Victory. The agents are Messrs. James
Moss and Co. There are four other tine vessels, which have
been arranged to depart in regular succession. They are to
visit Alex:m(l6a and Bevrout, having leave to call at
Palermo and Messina. The Nile is to be punctually de-
spatched tomorrow (Saturday), Iler cabin accommoda-
tions combine comfort and elegance.— Liverpool Mercury of
this day.

ST•Es.—THE FisuEnY.—On the 7th inst., two
seines were shot; one at the Leigh, and the other at Carne
Crouze ; both missed. On the Bth Messrs. Balitho's and Co.
shot a seine at l'urthmeister, and also missed. A few drift
boats that shot on the 7th took from 6,000 to 10,000 pil-
chards. Since those dates no fish have appeared in the
bay worth noticing. Some of the drift boats during the
past week have taken as many as GOO mackerel. which were
sold at 103. GI., and lls. per hundred of six score.
.The
m highest catches of herrings have been about 100 per g"
There have been great catches of hake, which sold at 4s. and
and 4s. (id. per burn of 91 ; a great quantity of them have
been sent per steamer for the Bristol market. There have
been no sales of the pilchards in:store; the greater part f
what have been already shipped have been ventured.-0

We find the following in the Pours'''. :—lt was
irmed the other evening in the salon of an eminent
iolitical writer, now a candidate in one of our central
departments, that two representatives of the Left, a
celebrated general and a would-be savant, have made
advances to tt:e most popular personage of the Orleans
family, in order to know whether he would consent
to profit by a democratic movement, and to give to
the conspirators the assistance and patronage of his
popularity. It was added that the Prince to whom
this singular overture was made rejected it in the
most energetic and dignified terms."
