It is computed' that this year not less than 60,000
persons have visited the Cattle Show.
A meeting of those favourable to the repeal of the
malt-tax duty took place yesterday. From the late hour
at which we write it is impossible for us to enter into
the question at issue between us and this party, though
we shall probably refer to the matter on some future day.
We agree in many of Nlr. Baker's remarks, more espe-
cially in reference to what he said regarding the opera-
tion of the tariff and the effects of the currency upon the
prices of labour and agricultural produce. We also
agree with him that a necessity exists on all occasions
for the employment of home labour; but, while the pre-
sent corn-law exists we do not see how this is to be ac-
complished by a repeal of the malt-tax. We are fearful
that a repeal of the malt-tax, with the duty on barley at
3s. or 4s. per quarter, would, instead of substituting
English-grown malt for foreign oil cake in the feeding of
cattle, only lead to further importations of barley from
abroad. We are glad to observe that the question of
currency is at last making an impression on the farmers
of the country; that this subject, which we have so long
advocated, is at the eleventh hour considered of im-
portance.— Post of Saturday.
FATAL OCCUREENCB.—An accident, attended with
loss of life, occurred at Skegby Colliery, near Mansfield,
Notts, last week. Four men and four boys were engaged
at work in one of the pits, when the waters from another
pit (an old one), burst in upon them, and one of the men,
besides a valuable ass, 'was drowned. The rest of the
party had a very narrow escape from death--Doncas-
ter Gazette.
Tim FISIIERIES. Immense quantities of soles
(says the Eastern Counties Herold) arc weekly imported
into Hull and dispatched by railway. One day during
the past week 57 packages, weighing together five tons,
were dispatched by train for the London market; and
the day preceding, four tons had been forwarded to the
same destination. Contrary to the general rule, that
when we have large exports, Hull is ill-supplied with
fish, the opposite is now the case, for the fishmongers
have their stores abundantly supplied with the best.
The take is extraordinary. One vessel consigned to the
old-established house of Wilson (late Askew, Todd, and
Johnson), -delivered on Monday last 2,040 pairs, the
actual fishing for which had only occupied twenty-four
hours. From 50 to 70 vessels, from Yarmouth, Rams-
gate, and other ports, may daily be seen upon the fishing
grounds at sea off Yarmouth. By making Hull, the
fishermen have their produce much earlier in the market.
All that is landed in Hull on one day, before five o'clock
in the afternoon, is in London early in the morning of
the next day ; besides which two or three days are
saved in every
voyage by coming to this port instead of
Ramsgate.
