PARLIAMENT OF LOWER CANADA. '

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER.
Wanwassua, Mittel' 7, 11111.
This day, at three o'clock; his Excellency the Go-
irermr in Chief came down in State to the Legislative
Council Chamber, and being seated on the Throne, the
Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent to com-
mand the presence of the Assembly, which being come
up, hi. Excellency wai pleased to give the Royal As-
sent •to 19 Bills, passed by the-Legislative-Gouncil and
Assembly. Two other Bills were reserved for his Ma
jesty's pleasure. After which his'Excellency was pleased
to &liver the folio Ring Speech to both Houses:
" Gentlemen of rbe Lettslative Council, and
Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" I come to close this Session of the Provincial Par-
liament, convinced by the state of your proceedings that
ncithing likely to pron.ote the public interest can be now
expected from your deliberations. To you, Gentlemen
of the Legislative Council, who have attended your du-
ties in this Session, I offer my thanks on the part of his
Majesty, as an acknowledgment of the regard which,
by Tout presence, you have shewn to the welfare of'
.your country, and aho of that proper respect which'
you have manifested for the Soveteign from whom your,
honours are derived.

• Gentlemen of the Assembly,
I' It is painful to me that I cannot speak my sentiments to you
in terms of approbation and thanks. The proceedings of this Sea.
eioelmpeng upon me a duty, of which, however unpleasant, I will
acquit myself as a faithful servant of the King, and a sincere friend
of the Province.
years of continued discussion on forms and accounts
have proved unavailing to clear up and set at rest a dispute, which
moderation and reason might have speedily terminated. It is la-
mentable to see that no efforts or eonensioos of his Majesty's Go-
vernment have succeedetin reconciling thaw direrences of opinion
is the. Legblaturs ; but it is infinitely menu so, that differences on
onesubject should cause a rejection of every other measure which
kis Majesty's Oweetoment recommends to your caoeideration.

• SALMON FISHERIES.
--..---
A Bill has been brought lately into Parliament by
Mr. KawiseDY, re)ative to the salmon fisheries. This
ISM professes to have two objects in view : first, to
render legal in rivers and estuaries, in Scotland, cer-
tain fixed engines called stake nets, which have been
found illegal by the Courts of Lsys, in terms of certain'
ancient statutes; and, secondly, to fir one general close
time for all the livers in the UnitaKingdom. To'
enter minutely into the - case, in the limited space
sllowed in the columns DE a newspaper, wcnld be ins.
possible, but we shall give a short general view of it.
And, firsts as ,to stake nets.—The immediate effect'
of rendering these engines legal, as proposed by Mr.'
Kennedy, would be to deprive the proprietors of salmon
rivers of their properties, and to transfer those proper-
ties to the proprietors of lands situated along the coasts
of estuaries or of the sea, by enabling them to intercept
the salmon proceeding to the rivers. Many of those
rivers have been purchased at very high prices, and
have been possessed by the owners of them and their
predecessors during a long series of years, under the
existing statutes. They are, in fact, as much private
,property as lands or any other species of property
whatever, and are entitled to the same protection. To
neutralize then," as Mr. Kennedy's Bill virtually does,
the ancient statutes by which these fishing. have been
hitherto protected-, and to deprive the proprietors of
their just and vested rights,-without any compensation,
by the stroorband of Parliament, appears to us, with
all due respect' for Mr. Kennedy, more suited to the
meridian of Algiers than of Great Britain,
It is attempted to justify the oseasurehy the expe-
diency of rendering salmon more plentiful. No degree
of expediency, however, can justify an ant of gross in-
justice. If it is necessary for the public good to deprive
any set of men of their properties, let compensation at
least be given them for them ; but, in the present in-
vance, the necessity, or even the expediency, of the
measure, is denied.
It is most true that salmon were formerly in greater
abundance in all the rivers in the kingdom than they
have been for several years back. About half a century
ago, the usual price of salmon in Scotland was from
one penny to three halfpence per pound. There was,
therefore, but little incentive to strict or accurate fish-
ing. The fishers, who in most instances were farm
servants, or small tenants, bestowed but little time on
fishing, and were in general lacy, careless, and slovenly.
Accordingly, neatly as many salmon were allowed to
escape up the rivers as were caught. The rivers were
thus kept full of breeders; while the supply was at the
same time, from their great numbers, abundant.
After the method of sending salsnoo in ice to the
London market was discovered by the sagacity of the
late Mr. Dempster of Dunichen, a great revolution took
place in the mode of fishing. The fishers became active,
alert, and even scientific. Their nets were made cos itn•
proved principles. Their waking hours were doubled.
The greatest competition arose among them, and boun-
ties were given to the most successful. la short, scarcely_
a salmon was allowed to escape. The business was
overdone. The rivers were completely ovarfithed, and
the consequence has been, as has occurred in the Eng-
lish rivers, and as must inevitably happen from the
same cause everywhere, that salmon have become
scarce. Yet Mr. Kennedy seems to .think that
to increase still more the overfssbing system, the true
cause (aided no doubt materially by poaching) of
the mischief, by adding stakes nets to the usual modes
of destruction, is the only means of remedying the evil,
as if salmon would spring up out of the sands upon
1 which they were placed! It is now universally admit-
ted, that all salmon return from the sea to their native,
'rivers—that they are in Tact forced to do so by the law
'of their-nature—by an instinct so powerful as to induce
them to overcome, if possible, all obstructions in their
way. When they enter estuaries from the sea, they
may be said to bave.reathed their destination, there be.
in but one step to the rivers. Is it not. therefore, ali•
'ions to all, if men would only allow common sense to
get the better of prejudice, that •stake nets in estuaries
can only intercept the salmon which, but for thins,
would either be caught--perhaps next day--sutsi. bit-
brought to market by the river fishers, or woulsreseape
up the rivers and become breeding fish—and, therefore,
that while these engines could net increase the general
stock, they must add greatly .to the evil of orestsliing,
above complained of; and which more than any.
-else bas occasioned the general acarcity of fish. It was-
an easy matter to fabricate account; in the Tay Cause,
but they all fade away before these indisputable net
tural fact!.
There are only two ways in which the salmon fish,
arks can be improved, and the are quite 'consist*
with the public interest, std were the rights st. indiii, 1

Cottons DISCOVERY.—Thursday evening an Inquest
was held at the Morse and Groom public.house, Stepnat r, on the
remains of a female, lame unknown, which were discovered under
the ground in Long-lane, ShadwelL—Samuel Cooper, a labosrer,
'stated, that on Monday last, he was excavatieg the ground, for the
formation of a new. sewer, and discovered the bones of the deceased,
about eight feet from the surface. They were placed at full kngth
and in regular order. It appeared to him that a grave had aelli
made, as the gravel on either side was much herder than that aberee
the skeleton. Mr. Cleland, a surgeon, stated, that the bones ap-
peared to have been these of a full grown female; the skeleton was
perfect, except the arms, which were not found. • The Bea was
decomposed,, but the bones remaining were free treats fracture.—
There was a quantity of auburn hair en the scalp, which fell off
whets exposed to the air ; he was of opinion that the body had been
buried between VD and 50 years. Kendle, the beadle, stated, this
