IRISH SALMON.—Had it been told in Stir-
ling forty years ago, that the inhabitants of that burgle
would, within that period, be supplied with salmon cheaper
from Ireland than they could obtain them from the Forth,
the people of that day would have considered the story !Is
a notable hoax ; yet it is not the less certain that both 01
Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, salmon and grid °.
have been lowered nearly one half in price by the imports'
tion of Irish fish. So much for steam.—Stirling Jouro•

on the Marquis of CilANDOS.—Brighton Gazette.
