LOW FARES ON RAILWAYS.—If any proof were re-
quisite of the advantage of low fares to railway traffic, it has
been satisfactorily furnished by the case of the Croydon Rail-
way. Since the reduction in the fares on that line the traffic
has increased in a remarkable manner, the amount received
for passengers having been greater in the last week than in
any week since that ending the 14th of September, 1841, and
the number of passengers carried exceeding that of any one
week since the Whitsun-week in June,

HERRING FISHERY•

BERW/CK.—The take of herrings this week has been
very good, averaging about four crans a boat each day;
but some boats have had as high as eight or nine crams..
This morning, however, the take is very poor—highest.
boat three trans: and the fishermen think that the night.
was too smooth to have a good fishing. Prices are about
13s. to 14s. per cran. Many boats are now out each.
night. Ttliameth.er night we saw about 100 boats near
our harbour, and I.lak4)cene is most animating. As
yet no strange curers are hebraLand the French vessels
might be supplied next week, •itt..all probability, at a.
moderate rate, as the tides are beginning to set in when.
the fish will multiply. •

NORTH SUNDERLAND.--The fishing of the preseqat
week has been a little better than the last. Some few
boats went off on Monday night, and returned on Tues-
day morning with a few hundreds, On Wednesday some
two or three boats had each from two to ten barrels,
and some quite clean. Prices, 275. per barrel. It is
expected there will be a general trial to-night (Wednes-
.clay),and it is anticipated there will be a good take, as
there is a good appearance on the coast. No boats are
yet engaged to any Of-tlieWrers 'and only three Yar-
mouth luggers have as yet arrived to buy herring's. If,
therefore, herrings should be plentiful, prices are tied to
be very low.
DUNBAR.—Since our last report the herring fishing
has been rather improving upon the whole. On Thurs-
day the boats ranged from three to six crans. The fish
are of excellent quality, and are principally purchased
by the cadgers, none of the curers having commenced.
Indeed, from the great take on the west coast, and the
quantities already shipped to the Continent from the
Lewis Islands, curing (unless the fish are very cheap) is
considered to be anything but a safe speculation.—Bre-
wick Warder.
ABERDEEN, JULY 25.—The fishing here for last week,
as was stated before, was very poor. The Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday's fishing this week has been,
attended with ratherimore success, the boats generally
returning with an average of 1 to 2-1 crans. As the
nights are now getting darker there is every reason to
hope that the returns will be much greater during the
course of next week.
BANFF, JULY 22.—The fishing during the last week
was not so good as during the previous week, which was
partly to be attributed to stormy weather ; but as the
weather is now settled, there will be a general turn out
of all the boats to-night. The contract price for fresh
herrings has declined ; and several boats at Fraserburgh
have been engaged at Bs. 6d. the cran, in full, and, in,
some instances, even less money has been accepted. The
foreign letters received this morning mention further
arrivals of Lewis herrings, which could, with difficulty,
be sold to leave about 10s. to lls. the barrel, according to
quality.
PETERHEAD, JULY 24.—Our herring fishery is now
fully commenced ; the number of boats is 417, being
nearly 50 more than last year ; the average take up to
this date being nine crans, this day's fishing alone being
seven crans.

THE FRENCH NAVY.

The Presse gives the following account of the actual
strength of the French navy :
" France possessed, on January 1. according to official
statements, 23 ships of the line and 29 frigates, besides
279 twenty fourths of ships, and 277 twenty-fourths of
frigates. on the stocks, withqut mentioning the vessels
of inferior force, which, unfortunately for us, are too
numerous. She has, in addition to these, 45 steamers—
viz., three of 450-horse power, one of 320, six of 220,
twenty-one of 160, one of 1.50, three of 120, three of 80,
three of 60, and two of 30-horse power. But there
must be taken into account the fact pointed out and de-
monstrated by the Prince de Joinville, that of these 43
steam-ships there are not more than 1G or 17 fit to go to
sea at the first signal, and able to meet the attacks of an
enemy. To complete this statement, it should be noted
that there are 18 other steamers now being built, 18
Transatlantic packets, and the 24 packets of from 220
to 250-horse power employed in carrying the Levant,
Alexandrian, Corsican, and English mails. It must,
however, be remarked, that these last are not calculated
to carry guns, and that it will cost much time end money
to convert them into ships of war. But the maritime
strength of a nation is not to be reckoned by
the number of its ships of war alone—the commercial
marine is also one of its principal elements. If it be
wished, therefore, to attain an exact amount, the num-
ber of armed merchantmen must be brought into the
account, and, above all, the number of sailors they
employ. Now, France has about 6,000 ships •of bur-
then. As to the sailors, the following is the result
of a table annexed to the report lately made by M.
Angeville on the extraordinary credits for ..the navy.
The total of the men classed in this present year is
122,025. But this includes cabin-boys, novices, and men
not in actual service. To find the number of men• of from

18 to 50 years of age fit for service, and, who can be
relied upon in case of war, this total must be reduced
one• half ; whence it will appear that we have between
61,000 and 62,000 able seamen."
(The French reckon the progress of ships ems r on the
stocks by 24ths. Thus a ship half-built would be said
to have advanced twelve 24ths. The account of the
Presse does not enable us to state the number of ships of
the line and frigates on the stocks, for some may have
nearly reached completion, and others have advanced
only two or three-fourths. We cannot, therefore, find
the number of ships by the process of division by 24ths.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
We had rather a large show of Monday's unsold samples
of English Wheat, while the demand for that article was in a
very sluggish state at barely previous rates. In foreign
Wheat so little was doing that the prices were almost nominal.
Barley and Malt were a slow sale, and might have been pur-
chased on lower terms. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, were
about stationary.

UICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—Within the last few
days the people of Gravesend have been painfully excited
by the self-destruction of the Rev. G. Harris, minister of one
of the churches ;in the City. The unfortunate gentleman,
who was about 48 years of age, left town last Saturday week
with his lady and two daughters, in the hopes that a change
of air would benefit his health, he having, for the last three
months, been in a very desponding state of mind. From in-
quiries made respecting the melancholy occurrence, it ap-
pears that at a late hour on Friday night he retired to his
bedchamber with his wife, Mrs. Harris retiring to rest first.
A few seconds, however, had barely elapsed before she heard
a heavy fall in the room. She immediately rose, and per-
ceiving Mr. Harris lying on the floor, promptly got out of
bed, and then made the awful discovery that he had laid vio-
lent hands on himself. The police were instantly called in,
when the lamented gentleman was found to have inflicted a
mortal gash in his throat with a razor, which was discovered
on the top of the drawers ; and although Mr. Sanders, sur•
geon, of High-street, was soon in attendance, and every
means were resorted to to save his life, all proved ineffectual,
and in less than a quarter of an hour he ceased to exist. An
inquest was held by Mr. Carttar, one of the Coroners for
Kent, on the body, and a verdict of " Temporary insanity"
returned.

The remains of the late lamented Dowager Coun-
tess of Leicester were interred at Longford Hall, Derbyshire,
on Monday, in the presence of her deceased Ladyship's
nearest relatives. The Earl and Countess of Albemarle, who
were to have come to town en route to Goodwood, are stay-
ing at Quiddenham Hall, ha retirement, in consequence of
her Ladyship's demise.

MASIIAS.

The last recorded sales of Beer on the spot (Oct. 18) stood thus :
Allsopp 7O rupees per hhd. Bass 65 rupees per hhd.
Messrs. Bass and Co., state, under this head, that some of their
Beer had been sold at 68 rupees 8 annas. This, however, as it ap-
pears from the statement of Messrs. Haviside and Co., was for »le of
the present season to arrive; while, at the same period, Mess's. Hall
and Co., of Madras, had refused that price for 4CO hhds. of Allsopp's.
The attention of the public is requested to the ingenuity of Messrs.
Bass and Co.'s representation in this instance.

SWANSEA HARBOUR BILL.

The Swansea Harbour Bill was read a second time.
SOUTHAMPTON MARSH IMPROVEMENT BILL.
Mr. G. W. HOPE presented a petition in favour of the
Southampton Marsh Improvement Bill.
Lord PALMERSTON presented a petition against
the Bill.

Mr. G. W. HOPE, in moving the second reading of the
Bill, said that he was not aware that it was to be
opposed. The Bill was for the inclosure of a marsh
near the town of Southampton, and the profits to be
derived from the inclosure were to be appropriated to
the improvement of public walks in the neighbourhood
of the town. The only objection that he had heard to it
was that it interfered with a cricket-ground. Now the
supporters of the Bill had given up the intention of in-
terfering with the cricket-ground, and therefore he could
not understand what ground there could be for opposition
to the present Bill, which did not interfere with any
waste land used for the purpose of recreation.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the parties who op-
posed the Bill were apprehensive lest the ground should
be built upon, and the inhabitants be thus deprived of
the advantages which a salubrious place of exercise now
afforded them.

Sir R. INGLIS said that the Bill proposed to take
away from the recreation and health of a great portion
of the inhabitants of Southampton between forty and
fifty acres, and they ought to obtain an assurance that
their place of exercise should not be interfered with.
Mr. HUME wished the Bill to be referred to a Com-
mittee.

Sir J. EASTHOPE presented two petitions against
the Bill.

The Bill was read a second time without opposition.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

Dr. BOWRING postponed his motion on the public
accounts till after Easter.

NOTICES OF MOTION-AMERICAN RICE.

Mr. HUME gave notice that, on Monday next, he
should move for copies of, or extracts from the correspon-
dence between the Government and the American Am-
bassador, relative to the admission of rice, the produce
of the United States of America, into this country at the
same rate of duty as rice from the East Indies.
PROCESS SERVING (IRELAND).
Ths HoN. MgMBER also gave notice that he should
move for a return of the items, showing how 2551., set
down as the expense of serving processes in Ireland,
was_ expended.

Mr. 'l'. DUNCOMBE gave notice, that on the motion
for going into Committee on the Masters and Servants'
Bill, he would move that the Bill be committed that day
six months.

This was an action to recover the sum of 501. Bs. lid. for
meat supplied by the plaintiff, a meat-salesman, to the de-

THE M.P. Pon PERTH.—Mach conjecture as to
the where and whatabouts of the Right Hon. Fox Maule,
since the first week of the session, has been current of late,
as, since the first division, his name has never appeared in the
Parliamentary reports. Tidings were for the first time got of
him on Saturday last, when he was discovered by a corre-
spondent fishing in the Tay, near Dunkeld, and had that day
basketed three fine salmon, each respectively fifteen, twelve,
and eight pounds Weight. Our correspondent adds, that the
above circumstance,taken in connection with his ate advo-
cacy of cheap bread, would justify the conclusion, that even
in retirement the Hon. Gentleman has an eye to the "loaves
and fishes."—Perth Paper.

supporters of the Bill had given up the intention of in-
terfering with the cricket-ground, and therefore he could
not understand what ground there could be for opposition
to the present Bill, which did not interfere with any
waste land used for the purpose of recreation.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the parties who op-
posed the Bill were apprehensive lest the ground should
be built upon, and the inhabitants be thus deprived of
the advantages which a salubrious place of exercise now
afforded them.

Sir R. INGLIS said that the Bill proposed to take
away from the recreation and health of a great portion
of the inhabitants of Southampton between forty and
fifty acres, and they ought to obtain an assurance that
their place of exercise should not be interfered with.
Mr. HUME wished the Bill to be referred to a Com-
mittee.

Sir J. EASTIIOPE presented two petitions against
the Bill.

The Bill was read a second time without opposition.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

Dr. BOWRING postponed his motion on the public
accounts till after Easter.

ticularly the power t• borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the Interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at Apath, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appitehiled by the public, that

GUILDHALL.

Jonathan Little, a young man of respectable appearance,
"aged 23, was brought before Alderman Hughes, charged by
his employer, Mr. John Sherword, cheesemonger, carrying on
business at No. 29, Wood-street, Cheapside, by whom he was
employed in the capacity of book-keeper and shopman, on
suspicion of having stolen one shilling and sixpence, and
other sums Of money, from his till, under the following cir-
cumstances : •

Mr. Sherwood stated that having missed several sums of
money from his till, he yesterday marked several pieces, part
of which he put into the . till, and part he gave
to persons whom he . directed to purcl.ase certain
articles in his shop, as if they were casual purchasers.
Soon after these persons came in, and the prisoner supplied them
with different articles. and put the money, as prosecutor sup-
posed, into the till. Prosecutor, who was in a room adjoining
the shop, said that immediately afterwards he counted the
money in the till, and found a deficiency of 3s. 6d. He then
gave the prisoner into custody, and had him searched by the
policeman; one shilling and sixpence of the marked money
was found in his possession, and about 30s. in a purse.
A gentleman, of the name of Sutton, gave the prisoner.an
excellent character, and said he was never in want of money,
.as his friends invariably supplied his wants in that respect.
The prisoner desired that he should be remanded, in order
that he might be able to obtain professional advice.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded until to-morrow.

ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE

MESSRS. ALLSOPP and SONS regret the
necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by
Messrs. Bass and Cc, purporting to be a correct representation of
the current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies.
The Incorrectness of the returns alluded to has been fully shown in
a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have
pertinaciously refused to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in-
cumbent upon Messrs Allsopp to lay before the pnblic the folowing
detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by
themselves and Messrs. Bass respec'ivelv. In order to avoid the pos.
sibility of mistake, the moat careful examination of the official re-
ports of the Indian markets, during a period extending over the
months of November, December, and January last, has been made,
and Messrs. Allsopp confidently submit the result as a proof of the
superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three
Presidencies.
