The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of announcing
to the Shareholders, that, as expected, Parliament wilt be prorogued

schemes! The Committee regard their prospects with increased con-
fidence, being convinced that the merits of their undertaking will
Italy justify the report of the Board of Trade, viz., that " it is de-
cidedly preferable to the Sheffield and Lincoln,, and the Sheffield
branch or the London and York." Application will be made for an
Act at the commencement of the next session of Parliament.

SALMON FISHING.—The take continues to be fair
for the season. On Tuesday 259 boxes were shipped for Lon-
don, being the produce of three days' fishing on the upper sta-
tions of the Tay, which might contain about 3,000 salmon and
Frilse. Some days are much more productive than others.
riday last the take was very large, the average being from 60 to
100 at one tide to each station. It has been observed thatla
strong east wind brings the salmon to the estuaries in great
tiumbers, but it is only with a west wind that they ascend the
river. Prices continue pretty steady ; salmon 7d. to Bd., and
grilse sd. to 6d. per lb. A very large fish was taken at the
Rhynd Cairn station (a shot a little above the Earn) on Satur-
day morning. This fish weighed 461b5., measured two feet in
girth, and was something more than four feet long. It was a
finely-formcd fi,h, and seemed to be very old, there being no
teeth in its head, with the exception of one, which was much
decayed. It was the largest salmon which has been taken in
the Tay (or several years.—Perthshire Courier.
RAPID" TR .1 YE LUNG. —Capta.in Drummond, Lieut.
Pitcairne, and J. Wheatley, Esq., of her Majesty's 42d Regi-
ment, and Lieutenant Norton, of ber Majesty's 88th Regiment,
resolved on visiting Catania, with. a view to ascending Mount
.Etna. 'They actually accomplished the distance from Palermo
to Catania, over a heavy mountainous country, in twenty-nine
hours- I On ascending the mountain they found the cold almost
insupportable, the thermometer being 2 deg. below zero. On
placing a handkerchief before their mouths, it was actually
frozen to their lips. What delight, after leaving a country
with the thermometer at 82 in the shade,!
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The Prague Gazette reports
hat on the 23d ult. a serioui accident happened at the railroad-
station in that city, from the giving way of the columns which
supported the roof. It is said that one hundred and fifty per-
sons were injured; but the above vernal is so
reserved in its
account that we do not learn whether any person was killed.
