JOHN MURPHY, a young man, was murdered
at the fair of Drinninuck, near Killarney, on Wednesday,
during a savage fight between two factions. A verdict of
murder has been returned against eight persons, two
of whom, Throvur DALY and MICHAEL DONOCHOE,
are in cuitody.—Cork Morning Chronicle.

The following is a copy of the Eighth Re-
port - ,
IRISH 'FlglitatlES.
of the` Commissioners of the Irish Fisheries,
pursuant to the Act 59 Geo. 111. c. 109 ;
being for the year ended sth April, 1827 :
In order to promote a more active and profitable
prosecution of the Fisheries throughout the whole
of the coast of Ireland, the Commissioners resolved
to minutely revise the state of their funds, to dis-
appropriate all unclaimed grants, to ascertain what
portion of these funds had accumulated under the
66th section of the Act of the 59th of Geo, 111. c.
109 (which authorized them to apply the money
in any way they considered best calculated to en-
courage and promote the Coast Fisheries) and what
portion of them had accrued since the passing of the
Act of the sth of Geo. IV. c. 64, which restricted
the application of all future grants to two.specific
objects, namely, the erection and repairs of piers
and quays;:and the repairs of poor fishermen's boats.
Having accordingly entered into the proposed re-
vision, and having obtained the opinion of their
counsel as .to the extent of their powers over, the
money which accumulated under the 66th section
of the. first-mentioned Act, the Commissioners found
themselves enabled to appropriate the sum of
10,000/.. to the formation of a General Fishery Loan
Funk by mains of which the wants of the pe-,,r
fisherman on every part of the coast of Ireland me y
be relieved, either by supplies of materials necessa, y
for the repairs of his boat, or of hooks, lines, net-
ting, and other fishing apparatus requisite for the
prosecution of his trade as a fisherman, or by being
provided .with a new boat, the cost of which is de-
frayedin _the first instance from the fund in question.
The repayment of value of the materials, and
of the fishing.tackle thus supplied, is provided for by
&promissory. note passed by the fisherman,with two
.sureties; payablcat twelve months after date, and
subject.. to an interest of ;five per cent. to cover ,
losses and incidental. expenees.
The repayment of the eon of a new boat is pro-
vided for. in a similar way,' with the exception of in-
terest, to which the grantee is not made liable, from
the-consideration that 'during the progress of build-
ing the fisherman derives no advantage from the
boat, and therefore should only be charged with the
actual cost which the shipwright by agreement is
entitled to,- Besides, the Commissioners do not ad-
vance the whole cost in this cake as•ln the former
instance of 'materials 'and fishing tackle supplied, but
defray, the amount by'gradual . payments, according
as such- portions of the work are' certified by the
officers and grantee to' be satisfactorily executed, as
would fairly entitle the shipwright to a proportionate
payment.' . .
From the recency of these arrangements the
Conimissioners are unable to lay any .thing Material
befOre the public in the way of results ; bur from
the anxiety evinced by the fishermen en most parts
of Coast; the Commissioners, feel ,justified in enter-
taining. sangniae hopes of the ultimate success of
this fund. A reference to the Appendix, will ex-
plain more fully its nature as 'well' as the condition 4
under which it' may be made available to the promo:-
tion of industry throughout the entire coast, and the
consequent extension of the fisheries of this country.
As two loan funds upon different principles woulci,
be likely to cause confusion and inconvenience iri
their • operation, the Commissioners have directed
their officers to call in' the loans outstanding front the
fund committed to their management by the Lcndon
Committee in 1822, and they hope to obtain the
concurrence of that body 'to the'engrafting the same
upon the General Fishery Loan Fund before-men-
tioned, so as that the whole may he conducted upon
the same common principles.
The Coast Survey, adverted to ist the former Re.
ports of the Commissioners; has not.been resumed-7;
but the last. Reporeof -Mr. Alexander Nimmo, the
civil engineer employedin this service, will be few'
in the Appendix.
The fishery piers which have been already erected,
as well as those which are now-in .progress on va-
rious parts of the coast of Ireland, have also en-
grossed much of the Commissioners' attention. Mr.
James Donnel, the engineer employed (as occasion
may.require) in this particular service, was directed
to make a tour of inspection round the east, and
furnish the Commissioners with a report on the pre..
sent state of those works, as also with his sugges,
tions on the measures he considered either necessary
for their repairs or calculated for their improvement.
This report has greatly facilitated the arrangement
formed by the Commissioners for the furtherance of
these objects, and measures were accordingly taken
for their accomplishment through the medium of the
public papers.
The naval vessel which was attached to this de-
partment under the provisions of the Act of the
59th of Geo. 111. c. 109, having been found too
large for the purposes of protection where protection
was oftentimes most wanted, the Commissioners felt
it expedient to discontinue her services, and notify
the same to the Lords of the Admiralty.
In adopting; hoWker, this proceeding, they beg
to observe that they are not the less convinced of
the necessity of affording protection to the Fisheries
by the_ substitution of one or more smaller vessels,
whose size would enable them to visit every creek
and small bay .where the Fisheries are prosecuted,
and where the observance of order. and legal fishing
would oftentimes require to be enforced.
On the first formation of this establishment, when
poverty paralyzed every effort to improve and extend
the Fisheries. of 'this country, the Commissionera
felt it expedient to allow the use of re,coopered or
second-hand barrels in the herring bounty fishery,
provided such barrels were found by the officer on
inspection to be good and sufficient for all the pur-
poses of-ture.for home use. Barrels of this descrip-
tion werelrocured on cheaper terms than new ones,
and the indulgence afforded much assistance to the
small curer, in the early state of the Fisheries; but
the Commissioners having reason to think that it
latterly led to attempts at fraud, were induced to
nce.
t
issue an order prohibiting the branding of second-
hand barrels for bounty in future, and requiring
others perfectly new. This order, added to the
gradual reduction of bounty on herrings under'. the
sth of his present Majesty, c. 64, may reasonably.,

ceding year; but from the number of well de pre-
craft
engaged in the fisheries, there is more reason to as-
sert that an increase, rather than a relaxation of in-
dustry, has taken place in the prosecution of the
fisheries of this country.
During the last year the attention of the Com-
missioners was also devoted to the formation of. a
regular uniform system of conducting the business of
this department in 'its-several branches. The abili-
ties of a mem* lately appointed to this board (now
Unavoidably absent), and of much experience in the
conduct of'public business, have been 'applied with
great and continued attention to the arrangement
necessary for carrying the whole system into effect.
The results of his skill snd suggestions have greatly
tended, to simplify the transactions of the Commis-
sioners, to improve their regulations for checking
and controuling the officers of the establishment, and
to give increased satisfaction to the fishermen and
others connected with the department.
The other Appendixes which usually accompany
the Commissioners' Annual Report will be found an-
nexed, and maybe said to exhibit a tolerably just
representation of the present state of the Irish Fisheries.
