From the 4th mil* 11th Instant, the fishing eon-
riooed es unsuccessful here a; before, and failed at
is consequence of which the boats have re-
tamed from that place. On the nights of the 11th
and rah, the take' of herrings was rather abundant,
althetigh by no means general, many boats having
missed, while some had 20 and others 25 crans. Last
night's fishing, however, almost batiks description.
A number of small boats missed, as usual, but the
quantity taken by the larger boats certainly .never
was, ncr ever can be exceeded, by a like number of
bolts of the s.tme size. Fortunately the sea was in
Ole in‘,:•:l,:tg perfectly smooth. Had it been other-
se, yof the boats must have perished, there not
being hail a plank of many above water. It is im-
possible to state the avt-rage quantity taken by each,
but 30 crans a boat was very common, a number bad
40, and from one there were actually landed VI crans.
Should this plenty continue for eight or ten days,
which there is little doubt of, provided.the weather is
favourable, few of the curers will be desirous of more.
AUGUST 17.—The quantity taken last night was as
great as the prcceding, but more equally distributed
among the boats. Many ants, on both nights, were
taken to the bottom, by the weight of fish in them,
and are, of course, entirely lost.
Our latest accounts from the west coast continue to I
hold out the most favourable prospect of a successful.

our looking forward with confidence to an abundant
supply of herrings, both for the home and foreign
markets.*
We learn from good authority, that the Dutch have
not less than 190 busses employed this year in the
deep sea fishery, for herrings.

The man who was so desperately wounded in the'

Harroe GAnDEN.— Thema: Byrne, residing in Red
Lion-c(aort, Saffron hill, was yesterd y brought up in
.he custody of Ma,hews and Cook, charged with'
having murdered Margaret Byrne, his wife, by beat
ing her in a most inhuman manner, having inflicted
several wounds on various parts of her body, and
breaking one of her arms, of which wounds she died
on Tuesday last. The prisoner was committed for
another examination, at which time the result of the
Coroner's Inquest will be known.
Henry Bi:ooke and Lazard, Dillon, two notorious
characters, were charged with a crime of the blackest
dye. Jane Ballard, an interesting child, of 12 years
of age, stated, that on Thursday night, the 21st of
last July, about the hour of twelve o'clock, she was
going with the key of the street door to her father,
who was at a public house, at his benefit club ; she met
the prisoner, Henry Brooks, in Gray's inn-Jane, and
Ile give her an eighteen-penny piece to shew hirri the
way to Feathers-court, in HolbArn, near Gray's inn.
lane ; she accompanied the prisoner to the end of the
court, and said, that is it. The ptisnner then took her
up in his arms, carried her' into a house in the court,
and having brought her op stairs, threw her on a bed
in the room, in which the female prisoner was at the
time. When the prisoner Brooks carried witness into
the room, the prisoner Dillon said'—" Whet, Hi.ry,
another ?" He said, " Yes." Witness screamesl,
and the prisoner, Elizabeth Dillon, held the peker
over her, threatening to kill her if she made a nein.,
and by force and threats the prisoner executed his in-
fie-nal purpose. The prisoner, in his defence, said,
that, on the night of the 22d of July, when the offence
was said to be committed, he was in Maids:one gaol,
where he was tried for picking pocket*, and acquit-
ted ; and that Mr. Harman, of Hamm Garden, was
his Counsel. Mr. Harman was sent for to ascertain
the fact, and he stated, that the Assizes finished on
the 14. th, consequently, that the defence was futile.—
The girl•swore positively to his person ; but the house
where the offence was committed being in the City,
the Magistrate ordered both the prisoners to be taken
before the LORD MAVOR.
Guit.nnat.e.—J. Richards, and Mary, his wife.
were charged with coining shillings. J. Johnstone,
a City officer, stated, that having heard that the pri.
sutler had pawned the work of his master, a shoe-
maker, in fleet-street, he went to his ledgings, and,
on entering the room, smelt a strong smell of aqua-
-I.7.rtis ; aware that this liquid was used in coining, he
snspeee.el some such operation was going co, and di.
rected his brother officer to seize the prisoner, while
he male search. He then found a cup of aqua-fortis
boiling on the fire, with some shillings in it, and, on
examining.forther, discovered upwards of 200 copper
flats in the form of shillings; some in finished, and
others in their original state. He also found several
pieces in the pockets of the prisoners. Both the man
and woman seemed to have been at work. The pri-
soners were remanded.
Hournnee Csmernosote.—About nine o'clock last
night a person passing by a field near the. Paragon,
in the Kent-road, was alarmed by repeated groans,
when, after a moment's hesitation, he entered the
field, and was met by a woman staggering forward ;
she fell near a bank on the edge of the road, and he
then obtained a light from a chaise which was pas-
sing, and found her dead, with her throat cut from
ear to ear. Several persons were now collected ; on
advancing farther into the field a man was discovered
with his threat also cat, and two children by his side,
covered with blood, bat uninjured. He was still
aliie, and after some delay, arising in a great mea-
sure from the. indecent impetuosity of the crowd, he
was carried off to an hospital. Previous to his re-
moval a pencil and paper were given to him, and it
is said, that he wrote a confession of his crime and his
address: he was expected to survive. The unfortu-
nate woman is said to he the wife of her supposed
murderer, and the two children their offspring. These
helpless infants were humanely taken into a house
near the spot. This double crime of murder and sui-
cide was perpetrated with an instrument found on the
gionnd, ascertained to be a clasp knife, hut which
was carried off by the person who tound ft.
