THE HERRING FISHERY IN SCOTLAND.—This week
the Mid Quay has been the scene of unusual bustle and
activity by the arrival of a number of vessels from the
Kyler of Bute, loaded with fresh herrings. It appears
that the fishing has been so productive that the fishermen
have been glad to find purchasers on the ground at 10d.
per 120. Yesterday the herrings there were selling at
Is. 4d., and retailing at six a penny. The cheapness of
herrings and potatees is a great blessing to the poor.—
Greenock Advertiser.

CORONER'S JURIES.—A short time since an inques
was held in a parish not an hundred miles from Exmoor,
upon which twelve jurymen were empanelled. With the
exception of the foreman and two others, no juryman could
affix his name otherwise than by making a mark. There
were three who were in receipt of parochial relief, and six
day labourers. Three or four of these jurymen were met
on their way from the inquest by a gentleman, who in-
quired the verdict they had given. The first said he didn't
reoollect ; the second thought it was " ' Died by stuifica-
lion ;" and the third, " Died by the visit of the Crowper !"

EARNINGS OF CONVICTS.—Among the parliamentary
papers of last session, were two reports from the superin-
tendent of t he ships and vessels employed for the confine-
ment of offenders under sentence of transportation. It
appears that on the 31st of December, 1842, there were
3,954 convicts on board the hulks in England, and of that
number 1,739 had been convicted before, and 71 bad been
previously transported ; 1,548 were first offences. There
were 1,154 of the 3,951 who could neither read nor write,
and 1,044 who could only read. 2,074 of the prisoners
had not been instructed in any business. Of the whole
number there were only 4 Jews. The expenses for the
first six months in 1842 of the eight stations in England
were £32,147 Os. 5d., whilst the total value of the labour
performed was £37,699 2s. ; for the second six months
the expenses were £29,888 ss. Bd., and the earnings,
£33,465 19s. The cost of the establishment at Bermuda
for six months was £12,684 Bs. 4d., and the labour per-
formed worth £15,129 2s.

A FAMILY OF FELONS.-The following melancholy
exhibition of a family's depravity took place at the So-
mersetshire quarter sessions on Thursday last :—Henry
Culliford, aged 24, and George Culliford, aged 16, were
tried and convicted of a larceny on the property of Mr.
Dickinson. It was then proved that Henry Culliford had
been before convicted of a previous felony. He was,
therefore, sentenced to be transported for ten years.
whilst his younger brother was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment. The next prisoner who was arraigned at
the bar was an old man, venerable in his general appear-
ance, with his head silvered with age, but possessing a
remarkable sinister expression of countenance when closely
examined. He turned out to be the father of the pri-
soners previously convicted. He was arraigned, tried,
and convicted of receiving a quantity of property, knowing
it to have been stolen. It was then proved against him
that he bad been previously convicted, and suffered a long
confinement, The court sentenced him to seven years'
transportation, and the hoary-headed sinner was removed
from the dock apparently unmoved by his position.
POACHERS.—By a Parliamentary document of last ses-
sion, a return was made showing in separate lists the
names of all persons killed or wounded in affrays with
poachers in the years 1841 and 1842. It appears, that in
the years mentioned no persons were killed, and only one
person and his assistants wounded on the Home Circuit.
On the Midland Circuit, two persons were killed and one
wounded. There were II prisoners, none of whom were
executed. On the Norfolk Circuit it does not appear that
any person in the years mentioned had been killed or
wounded. On the Northern Circuit none were killed and
nine were wounded. On the Oxford Circuit eight persons
were wounded, none killed. The offenders were impri-
soned and transported. On the Western Circuit four
were wounded, none killed. On the North Wales Cir.
cuit, a gamekeeper named Gell was wounded by a poacher,
who was transported for 15 years. On the Chester Cir-
cuit, Richard Chester, the gamekeeper, was reported as
killed, and the parties were not convicted when the return
was made. On the South Wales Circuit, a person died
from wounds by a gamekeeper, who was imprisoned for
six months. It seemsjthat only one person was left for
execution within the period of the return made by the
clerks of the several assizes,
