suddenly ci:d the IVitter-tiailiff pounce upon them
thin, they hail Hot time to get away, and several nel,
were seized.

The fishermen pleaded that it was impossible to
avoid committing the olfe.nee, as it %vas called; that
they did little or uo injury to the fishery, fur it mu.
now proved beyond a doubt that Nvltite-bait was as
distinct species, and not the spawn of larger fish,
as bad beeir ignorantly' supposed by some.
,This was
the opinion of all the.nrat lane philosophers. •
- The LAD MAltott said, he fully believed flue
white-bait was sui geiteris; bat. the existing law was
clear and express against taking -‘vbite-bait, and he
could not avoid putting it had-execution.-
Ncison, the Assistant Water-bailiff, and Mt men
expressed an opinion Similar to that stated by hi-
Lordship in. some.respects. They thought that the
brood of large fish were very eiteitaively,destroyed
by being taken, in the nets, 'were necessarily.
made with very small meshes, in order to catch.
white-bait. That destruction they said would not
cease except-' those apprehended' tat 'the 'unlawful
worse were punished.
The fishermen all said, that Mr. Goldham, the
clerk of Billingsgate-maatet, had paid the greatest
attention to the subject. Ills knowledge was the
most complete with respect to it, and the plan be
had devised would fully relieve them, while it at the
same time would materially serve the public, and in
particular the gentlemen of the corporation.-0
laugh.)--There , was no reason why white-bait
should not be ten times as plentiful as sprats,
The LORD MAYOR desired .Mr. Goldham, who
was present when the men were charged, to state
what his plan was.
Mr. Goidham said he Faust Premise that there
could-.be, he thought, little doubt • that white-bait
was, as had been stated lay his Lordship, gra generis.
In the next place, stub •was the demand for it as a
luxury from high places, and such was the poverty
of those industriuus and struggling men, that it was
imposSible for them to avoid taking i.. The tables
of his Majesty, he could assure his Lordship, were
supplied with white-bait, as-a befitting luxury, twice
a week ; and the Royal Person joined with the ge-
neral-feeling in their- faVour.--(A hiugh.)—lt was
highly desirable that those fushermen should not be
permitted to go en in habitual and'demoralizung vio-
lation. of the law, and that the practice which could
hot be prevented should be permitted under such
r egulations as would render it innoxious. Ifie would
suggest,"then, that the fishermen should at certain
times—say during three hours each flay, and at
certain places—he permitted to take whitc-bait„ in
the presence 'of one of the Water-bailiff's officers.
It should be the duty of this officer who attended
the fishing-boats, which should fish toOther in con-
venient clusters, to examine the boats, mid take care
that all ;'aura; fish taken with the White-bait should
be inintediata; thrown- o‘'erbcard. By this means
the destinctioz; of the brood of other fish,-whicb was
the chief, and in his opinion the only, valid &jet.,
tion to the catching- of white-bait, might be pre-
vented. Where any fisherman did net take due
care in this respect, he should be excluded from the
permission given to- others.
Tine LORD MAYOR highly approved of this plan,
which the fishermen declared to be in every respect
practicable,
said he advised them to petition the
Court of Aldermen to repeal the present law.
Nelson, wino has grown grey in the service, de-
clared that the fact was, the oldest and most politic
of the fishermen were friendly to those prohibitions,
just as the poachiog interest was friendly to tine present
game laws, because they kept ul> the price of the
commodity by keeping it scarce and preventing too
mat!), competitors from working in the market: (A
laugh.) As for the risk of fines and loss of nets,
the public and the aril folks, Who would have
these nice 'articles on their tables, paid for them
by the additional price which was invariably de-
manded in consequence. So sure as Nelson had at
good catch of net's; so sure the price of the white-
bait ran up.--(Laughter.) A meeting of fishermen
took place some time ago, for the purpose of consi-
dering the propriety of petitioning the Court of Al-
dermea for the removal of these restrictions, when
the reasons he had 'stated were urged by the gieatest
politicians amongst the petitioners present, and ne-
gatived, it being held that the white-bait-catching
interest was promoted by those prohibitory laws
which kept out interiopers. As it was, there were
too 'i' of them, and more severe penalties would,
in their
opinion, be requisite, rather than otherwise,
to keep down theiltioilitu,mlbvehros.
manifested a decided
The LORD MA
feeling towards the poor fishermen, Was of opinion,
notwithstanding the late failure before tine Court of
Aldermen, that Mr. Goldhatn's plot ought to be
adopted, and the habitual violation of the law,
which, like the Game Laws' violation, led to more
formidable infractions of the rules of society, be
prevented. Ile reluctantly convicted the fishermen
to tine mitigatedpenalties,but he recommended them
to petition the Court of Aldermen again immediately.
We understand - his Lordship strongly advo-
rate, before the Court of Aillermen, the cause of the
fishermen, as white-bait fishing is ai matter of deep
interest to numbers of the corporation.

THE' CROPS IN DEVON AND SOMERSET.
—The Want of genial showers is severely felt. It was
very late before the barley was got in, and in most cases
the blades have but just made their appearance, which
wear a very unpromising aspect in consequence of the ab-
sence of rain, and the more forward crops are lean and
hungry, and unless we are shortly favoured with rain we
may calculate on an almost total failure ; beaus and peas
are almost too gar gone to be recovered, the former are in
full bloom and are scarcely a foot high ; the oats will share
the fate of the barley, if it do not please Providence to send
rain. Potatoes are just finished planting, and they also lack
.moisture. The early wheat looks very promising; the
late sown are
not so f.4urable, but we still look for the
NA, although there is every- appearance at present of a
continued drought. The grass crops are aho very limited,
in consequence of the impenetrableness: of the ground pre-
venting the shooting of the young gra.. The crop of
apples is superabundant, which may in some measute,
make tut for the lgss of barley, should the ergpfail.—

~xperietteed so often from .us both. Some waun
words then passel between the prisOner and Perry
is we all three %walked towards the tva:eidtotte,
‘vhere Perry and the prisoner were Oing to deposit
'heir ‘vatelncoat?:, &e. Aftey they had done so, we
came away again together' from the watch-hog-c,
and words having continued, to pass between
the prisoner and Perry, on account of the conduct

of thelortuer to me, the prisoner struck Perry and
'hocked him down and fell upon him. I then
Struck the prisoner and dragged him off Perry, and
k.hey both.got up from,the ground. The prisoner
'then separated from us and walked away, leaving
'Perry and myself together lo.purne- our way home.
As we had proceeded a link diteanee towards-home,

Perry recollected that he kid .h.-ft- the key of our
otlgiiiits in the pocket of his watch-coat, and we
turned back again towards the watch-house to get
it ; bat as we were proceeding, the prisoner iltrid 11
came in our Iyay,and said, that ai he saw we were going
to the watch-house he would go there too. I told him
that we were not going there upon any business about
biro, but only to get our key,. that Perry had for-
gotten in his watch-coat pocket; and on my telling
•him this, the prisoner once more went away and left
its. When we got into Robert's-mews, close to the
'Was-house, I sat down againsi a wall- to rest my,
self, as I had a severe fit of einighing come-on at the
time, to which I am very subject, and Perry went
forward to the watch-house to get the key:; while I
was thus sitting against the wail waiting- the -return
of Per;y, the prisoner 'Again canto suddenly up to
me, and taking something which did not then see
out of the pocket of a -,Jacket which he wore, he

suuck at me with it, aial- I instantly felt rayAelf
wounded • in the side; the prisoner then clashed a
large knife, which he drew out of my side, down
upon the pavement, and exciaimed, your
eyr3 ; there now, I have done for -you, and I shit!!
be hanged for you." I immediately called "

der" a;:-: loud as I was able, and having then fa;nted
away, I knew nothing of what subsequently hap-
pened until I found myself • soineWhat recovered in

the %watch-house, to which some *persons had con-
veyed me.

John Perry, the watchman, with whom the pro-
seentrix lives, confirmed the whole of her statement,
up to the time that he left her sitting against the
wa!l in -Robert's-mews : he did not know, he mid,

that any thing had happened to her until be met
some men carrying her to the watch-hGuse as he was
returning to her with- the key.
• • John 'Owen, a hackney-eoachmau, who assisted in
carrying the prosecturix to the watch-house, gave
evidence as to his having seen the prisoner strike the
woman, and afterwards throw a large knife down on
the ground.

James Jaincon,- one of the street-keepers of the
Southampton trust, in the parish of St. Pancras,.
deposed, that about nine o'clock on Sunday morning
last, he went into the cell in Which the prisoner was
confined -at- the' Watch-home, to search. him, aad
while doing so the pri,,oner said to hin); " Jameson,
I have killed Jack's wife.- I was determined to he
hung for her, and I shall be hung at Newgate on next
Monday iveek, and I wish you would come and see
me hung, as I have. a.keepsaketo give you then.".

The prisone,r further said he had had a grudge
against the prosecuirix, because sire had been the
cause of prtiventing his marriage with a young Won)An
to Whom he %vas very much attached.
Thiti bahtg the whole evidence, the Magi4pte.
asked the prisoner if be wished to say any thing.
Pris Oner-1 tieuy- one part of James-ou's state-
ment as to my conversation with him, I did not
gay that Mrs. Perry prevented icy untrringe with the-
'young woman in question, or that I had any trudge
to her ou that account. 'Fite fact is, Mrs. Perry
did not prevent our marriage; so I could not have
said that I owed her any grudge: I had no grudge
to Mrs. Perry, and never offended her in tnylife be-
fore, although
.she has often abused me.

Mrs. Perry—Ob, you unfortunate young man, I
orgive you from the bottom of my heart, and I
!mope God may forgive you.
Sir G. FARRANT—h is my duty to commit you
o Newgate o,n the evidence that has been taken.

The prisoner was then fully committed for trial
on the capital Charge, and a he was quitting the
dice in custody of the gaoler to be locked up, we
regretted to observe him betray a degree of levity
painful to Witness in a person placed in the awful
situation in which he stands ; for as be proceeded
through the passage to the lock-up room whistled
aloud seemingly with the utmost indifference ; he is
a very fine-looking young man, about 27 ycars of
age, and nearly six feet in height, with an extremely
good-natured countenance, and a very regular set of
features, by no means expressive of ferocity or any
cruelty of disposition.
It appeared the prisoner contrived to steal the
knife the night before he committed the act, from a
bineher with whom he was sitting in company, but
he said that he took it for a " link," and not with
any evil design.

DESTRUCTIVE K ISSING.—CICERO speaks
of a bronze statue of Hercules which had the features worn
away by thc frequent osculations of the devout. Several
instances of the same kind have occurred in modern times.
The face of a figure of the SAVIOU a among the bronze bas
relefi which adorn the Caa. Santa, at Loretto; has in this
way been quite kissed away. The foot of the famous statue
of St. PETER, in the Vatican, has also lost much of its
metal by the continua! application of the lips and foreheads
of votaries; and it has been found necessary to protect the
foot of the statue of the SAVIOUR by :MICHAEL ANC FLU
in the 3iiaerva from similar injury hy a brass buskin.

Much tli;:tress prevails among thd working
classes in the neirthbourhool of Wrtxham, Ruabon, and.
other parts of Denbighshire, in cOnseiptence of the decline
of the iron and coal businesses. Some of the men have
been hitherto pat tially employe,' on the turnpike roads,
and in the grounds of the patriotic Sir W. W. WY NN,

poor men are very guest, and they are a grievous burden
upon the• tradesmen and shopkeepers of the district.--

,STOPPAGE OF TIIE RAIL-ROAD.—We are
sorry to learn that, through a failure of one of the culvert•,
constructed by the Liverpool and Manchester Rail-way
Company, for conveying the Woisley brook under one of
their principal embankments. the operations, in the neigh-
bourhood of Barton and Eccles, are now experiencing an
interruption. It is, however, believed that the stopp ige
of the work will only be of a few days' duration. The
culvert was built of brick, of great strength, and laid in a
stiff marl foundation; but it is now supposed there must
have been something unsound beneith the marl. The
material of 'Which the embankment was constructing con-
sisted of marl and red sand-stone, brought from the cut-
ting, between Eccles and Salford. —Manchester "Meer.
