HERRING FISHERY.

Wicx, AUG. 12.—The fishing at Wick was very irre-
gular during the past week, some boats having as high
as forty crans, while many were quite clean. The total
average for the season is about thirty-four crans. A
large number of vessels have arrived with salt, which is
sold at I Is. per ton, At Hopeman the average for the
season is 60 crans per boat, and at Banff about 40
crans. At Peterhead there are 422 boats, and the
average is between 20 and 40 crans, or nearly 6,000
more crans, July fish, than last or previous season.
HEIMSDALE, AUGUST 14.—The herring fishers have
been very successful to the end of last week. On Tues-
day the boats averaged on Wednesday 2f, Thursday
8, Friday 9, Saturday 6, making the amount for the sea-
son about 50 craw., considerably higher than it has been
for some years at this date. From 30 to 40 boats have
about 100 crans--1 has 170 cr.ns. Should the weather
continue favourable a good fishing is looked for ; at
present the wind is blowing favourably for this coast.
LOSSIEMOUTH, AUG. 7.—The fishing has not been
successful here this week, the takes being generally
very poor.

13URGHEAD, Auc. 7.—The fishing has not improved
since last week, the average being about the same ; a few
boats had upwards of 20 crans this morning. The ave-
rage to this date will be about 33 crans per boat.
DUNBAR, Auc. 12.—Our herring fishing during the
last week was very successful, the highest boats aver-
aging about sixty to seventy crans. Prices continue
high, owing to the great number of French fishing lug-
gars here and in the bay, all most anxious to purchase
and complete their cargoes.—Ross-shire Advertiser.

SOUTHWARK OPERATIVE PROTESTANT ASSOClA-
yrox.—Tuesday evening the annual meeting of the members
and friends of the above Society was held at the St. George's
National and Parochial School-room, Borough-road, South—
wark, and as usual was well attended. The Rev. T. Cur
was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting, expatiat.
ing on the advantages the Society had rendered to the cause
of Protestantism, the urgent necessity that existed at the pre-
sent time for such a society, and concluded by calling on his
auditory, as they valued the maintenance of Protestant ortho-
doxy in its full integrity, to afford it, not only their continued,
but their increased support. The Rev. H. Robins, Messrs.
Callow, Binden, &c., also addressed the meeting, and resolu-
tions to uphold the Society were unanimously agreed to, after
which the meeting separated.
STurio HoAx.—During the wh:•ie of Tuesday
some stupid individuals amused themselves by ordering arti-
di.s of nearly all the principal tradesmen in the neighbour-
hoed, and sending them to Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the
Hope, in Fliackmoor-street, Clare-market. The annoyance
commenced as early as nine in the morning, and continued till
desk. Mr. Smith has offered a reward for the discovery of
the parties.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAIL.
sm.—Another melancholy and fatal accident occurred on the
North Mitiland Railway, at Masborough, on Saturday last, by
which a poor man, named Francis Dam, in the employ of Mr.
Barker, of Rotherham, lost his life. The facts are briefly
these:—One of the goods trains from Derby had arrived at the
Masborough station at half-past one o'clock on Saturday, when
a portion of the carriages—six in number—laden with iron,
were detached from the train in order that they might run into
one of the sidings. A fireman, named John Turner, was about
to do this, when the deceased unfortunately attempted to cross
the line, just as the train was shunting, or backing. He was
knocked down, and three carriages passed over his legs and
thighs, when, strange to say with his legs dissevered, he ma-
naged to drag himself off the rail before the three remaining
carriages, with engine and tender, passed over him. He was
promptly conveyed to the Sheffield General Infirmary, where
every attention was speedily paid him, but so great had been
the shock to the system, accompanied with the loss of bkod,
that he died at five o'clock the same afternoon. An inquest
was held on Monday afternoon. The jury returned a verdict
of " Accidental death," accompanying the verdict with a re-
quest that the Coroner would write to the Secretary of the
Midland Company, and say that it was the opinion of the jury
that a man should be always stationed on the last carriage of
the train when shunting. The jury were also of opinion that
the Masborough station was too cramped and limited fer the
business done there, and ought to be enlarged.
BONDED WHEAT.—Lord John Russell has ob-
tained a Parliamentary document, which was yesterday
printed, showing the quantity of .cheat in bond on the Ist of
July during the last eight years. The paper shows that, on the
Ist ult., there were 430,394 quarters of wheat in bond. The
following is the account rendered from 1838 to 1845 :—ln 1838
there were of wheat and wheat flour in bond, 618,590 quar-
ters ; 1839, 51,217 ; 1840, 569,952 ; 1841, 579,872 ; 1842,
1,253,436 ; 1843, 297,416 ; 1844, 604,122 ; and in 1845,
430,394.

JUGGLERS OP INDIA.—The rope-dancers, serpent-
tamers, and sword-swallowers of Madras, are celebrated
throughout India. They will leap over elephants, and even
five camels standing side by aide ; their bodies are so pliant
that they twine themselves like snakes upend down between the
steps of a ladder : they walk over sharp swords ;. raise heavy
burthens with their eyelids ; and, like Ramo Samee of old, are
said to be able to float in the air without any visible support.
Even the children exercise themselves in swallowing small
sticks of bamboo, in order that they may eventually do the like
with swords and daggers.
ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, CITY-ROAD.—The
managers of this admirable institution, from the increased
applications for admission, have determined on erecting
a new building for the children on Haverstock-hill,
Hampstuad -road. In order to accomplish this desirable
object, an appeal is now being made to the public ; and,
from the benefits which the institution has conferred
upon those who so much require protection, we doubt not
the appeal will not be made in vain.
