The arrivals of Fish since our last quotations have been
but moderate, and the market this morning exhibited but
a short supply.—Mackerel were the only . fish of which
there was a fair show, but the prices were generally high--
prime large, 64e. por hundred ; do. good sized and small,
Bs. to 10s. below that-pricev_Salmon, is. ed. to Is. 9d.
per lb. ; large Turbots, 20s. to 245. each ; others sold at
various prices, according to the size of the fish ; choice red
Mullets, 20s. to 261. per dozen ; large Whitings, of su-
perior quality, 10s. per basket, containing fifteen ; live

REVIVAL OF TRADE.—Our Blackburn cor-
respondent, under date of Wednesday last, says,
—" The wages of calico-weavers were again ad-
vanced 3d. per piece this week in Blackburn.
This is the third advance in a month, of 3d. each

time ; by these advances the weavers in the
Blackburn district will receive an addition of
about 1,5001. per week. The total advance is
about 30 per cent. on the greater part of the
calico goods made by the Blackburn manufac-
turers. The weavers are nearly all in full work
again ; twelve months ago only about one in five
waa in full work. As a proof that the condition
of-the poor is improved, it may be mentioned,
that the poor rates, which were 2s. in the pound
for the quarter ending at Christmas, are, for th•
present quarter, reduced to is. in the pound.
This is a most providential change. Last year
at this time their prospects were most gloomy,
without an apparent chance of the hand-loom
weavers being ever again in full work."-.-Leeds
Mercury.

PROVISION TRADE.--In our obser-
vationr under this head on the 17th current, we stated
that an interview had taken place a few days previously,
between the President of the Board of Trade and some of
the Irish Members, accompanied by Mr. Dan Callaghan
and other leading merchants engaged in the provision trade;
and that Mr. Huskisson had satisfied those gentlemen of
his willingness to afford every consistent and fair protec-
tion against foreign competition. We concluded by ex-
pressing a hope, that we might soon have it in our prover
to state a satisfactory result from this negociation. We
have now the gratification to announce,' that on Thursday
last, that very active guardian of Irish interests, Mr. Spring
Rice, waited on. Mr. Huskisson, and found he had adopted
the suggestion .offered to him by the deputation on the 12th
current. A Bill will forthwith be brought into Parlia-
ment, imposing a fixed duty by weight on all foreign pro-
visions imported, of Ms. per cwt. ; and when the neces-
sary calculations shall he corrected and verified, we trust it
will be found that the very equitable add limited wishes
of the trade will be aecomplished.—Cork Southern
Reporter.

A curious occurrence took place at New
Shoreham a few days since. A young couple attended the
church for the purpose of being married, and the ceremony
being concluded, the bridegroom discovered that it was
not yet eight o'clUck, and fastidiously insisted on the service
being re-performed, with which requedt the clergyman, to
ease the scruples of the conscientious gentleman, at length
complied.—Brighton Herald.

The damage done at the Westminster dinner
at the Crown and Anchor amounts to between
301. and 401.
