barber's shop in Broadway. 1t seems that like
all other BARRIERS, he has his shop open on Sunday
Tor the accommodation Of the public, and on one
occasion he happened to sell toothbrush or some
such iftycent article. For this heinous offence
against the corporation laws he was fined two dol
lars for selling goods on Sunday, and took the re-

ITALIAN OPERA. The Italian Opera re-opens po-
sitivey this evening, at Palmo's, with new and
most brilliant opera, in which the two principal
roles will be filled by SIgnora Pico and Signor
Sanquirico. The opera was originally composed
by Ricc, for Pasta, in order to display her striking
and brilliant peculiarities Pasa's voice was a
mezze-soprano, somewhat contralto, OF quality
like that Of Signora Pico and we have no doubt
this evenings entertainment will be delicious.
The brlancy of the house itself will be one Of
the features Of this opening. On such an occasion
all the elite of the city will be there and the scene
will be radiant with beauty and fashion.

|. seems this is very profitable business for the
corporation officials. One OF the receipts, as, we
perceive, numbers "22O,' and the other ''5l9."
and we have seen others as high as nearly 1900 !"
There must it is clear, be very pretty penny made
by carrying these ordinances into operation. The
wvres 10, palticulai arp.u.
be singled out as objects Of annoyance and fine,
whilst others, guilty Of permitting the greatest
nuisances, are allowed to go scot free. Thus,
in many of the streets, large heaps Of oystershells
and ashes, and other filthy obstructions are allow
ed to remain in front of cellars and houses, without
the slightest attention being paid to complaints
against those who commit the nuisance. 1t would
be much more to the credit of these corporation
officials if, instead OF pouncing upon poor BARRIERS
Tor selling toothbrush on Sunday, they would
remove from the public streets the accumulated
filth of three or four months.
The CATHOLICS OF BosToN AND THEIR ORGANS.
We perceive that meeting of the Catholics Of
Boston was held the other day, for the purpose OF
repudiating an article which appeared in paper
called the Pilot generally regarded their organ,
and which had been sagerly seized upon and turn
ed to their disadvantage by the whig party in that
city. 1t was attempted to be shown by the Boston
Courier, from the article in question, that the Irish
Catholics did not love America, and that they
voted just as their priests directed them The first
of these assertions is utterly ridiculous. In no
country under hs ayen is there so general and deep
regard for every thing American in Ireland. In
almost every family there Is a sympathy for Ame-
rca, arising from the tenderest associations con-
nected with relatives who have adopted this coun-
try as their home, and also from that ardent love
for liberty and free institutions which ID SO charac-
teristlc of the Irish heart. As for the influence Of
the Catholic priesthood in this country over the
political action OF their people, it is about equal to
that exercised by any other clergy. In some rare
lnstances-such as that Of Bishop Hughes-the
priests may have attempted to control the political
opinions Of their focks; but that game is not likely
to be repeated here after, and the very indignant
terms in which the Boston Catholics disciaim the
imputation alleged against them, will be re-echoed
by all their intelligent countrymen throughout the

! REMARKABLE ClRcUMsrANCE.-We were
Informed yesterday by fisherman just IN
from cruise, that during his absence he had
witnessed most singular phenomenon, the
like of which has never been known in this
latitude. The smack in which he was had
been unsuccessful, but very few fish having
been taken, and on many Of the old fishing
grounds not one could be found! In return.
ing along the south shore Of Long Island,
their attention was attracted TO the beach,
which was literally strewed with the bodies
of dead fish ! just washed up by the sea-
Black fish, Cunners, L,obstcrs, and Crabs,
and many other species which Inhabt our
shores at this season, lay promscuously Oh
the sand. On examining the well Of the
smack, 1t was discovered that the fish which
they had taken were also dead. AS far as
the shore was examined eastward towards
Montguk Point, 1t was found to be covered
alike with dead fish. We are also informed
that the smack Caroline, on Friday last, while
about I5 nes from land, passed through q
"rip" Of the sea formed by adverse tides, we
suppose. and that as far a. could be seen in
either direction, the "rip" was filled with
dead fish. Soon after this the well of the
smack was examined, and every fish in II
found to be dead. These remarkable facts
require scientific investigation. Similar phe-
nomcna has been observed in the Medl,erra-
mean after volcanic Eruption on some Of the
ncighboring mountains and it is quite pro.
bablo, we think, that the destruction TO the
hnny tribe noticed above, was caused by a
like lrruption at sea, near our coast.-.NtiD
