Mr.. Ames said that the greatest de-
struct,on of oysters took place among
the small ones. They are now taken in
boats, both small and large, ano all
brought To the wharf tog gether. The
fisherman then selects tho large ones,
and throws away the myriads OF small
ones, which, if,hey had been LETT on their
bed, would soon have been fit for use,
but which are entirely destroyed, as the
! fisherman has no interest IN replacing
them. Ifthe bed were his own, not one
of them would be lost. Special acts have
heretofore been passed in favor Of GER
tain persons, and the oysters raised by
them were sold cheaper, aud were OF
better size and favor than any that can
be now procured.

ter fishery, was read the first time.
Mr.. Ames said, this was a very i'm
portant act, and that in its present state
II was. very imperfect for the protection
of this most productive fishery. 1t now
only protected the beds from being bro
ken up by improper means of fishing, and
Il ON being taken at improper seasons.
But the true way TO increase this fishery,
and to improve the quality of the oyster,
was 10 authorize s protect the planting OF
oysters in beds, tn he owned by the per-
sons who should plant and take care of
them. This bay IL supposed to be the
best place upon the coast for the raising
of oysters, they grow faster, and are OF
the best flavor. But in the manner in
which they are now allowed to be taken,
they never grow to any size, and the
fishery has decreased from being one OF
the most productive in this State, to be
one of the poorest. lie moved the re-
ference of the act to special committee,
to incorporate upon II certain sections for
the planting aud protecting oi oysters.
Mr.. Luther seconded the reference.
lie inslanced the destruction of the
great bed IA proving the necessity oil
such protection.
Mr. Cpdike also favored this plan. -
lie had kuosa an instance Of n mans

caused every one to go into the business,
and the consequence was that the large

Ne,v-york C,.y Camp Meeting.


The Camp Meeting at Sing Sing, which opened on
Monday under the direction OF the Methodists OF
this CITY, will close to-day. Not having been pre-
sen; ut such meeting 10: twenty years, we visited
Sing Sing on Thursday, and spent the evening OF
that day upon the ground. The scenes which we
witnessed were of deeply interesting character,
aud worthy Of better description than we can give
in the present crowded state OF our columns.
The ground selected for the encampment is about
two miles from the steamboat landing, IN delight
fil grove OF oaks, and on the borders OF wild aud
romantic rayiue. The tents. l35 in number, and ac-
commodating 20G0 persons, were pitched in regular
order on three sides OF large area, fitted up as u
place for preaching and other religious exercises
On one side OF this area placed rude pulpit or
stand for the preachers while on the srecn-sward III
front were rough seats for 1000 people, shaded by
the graceful foliage Of young and vigorous oaks
Ga our arrival We found this temple OF nature bril-
liantiy Illuminated hy means OF lamps suspended
rom the trees, while through the foliage could be
seen the stars, giimmerng in the deep dome ol
God, = and mpressing the mind OF the behoder with
feelings OF reverence betting the plnce. The scene
vas certainly beautiful beyond description A great
crowd Of people were present, and at the sound OF
n trumpet they gathered Tor pubic woIshiP. ater
listening with solemn attention sermon, the OBJ
isct OF whch WIS to awaken the careless 10 give
Immediate attention 10 the claims OF relis ion, the
people retired the various tents and spent the re-
mander Of the evening in pray er and e1hcrtation-
AT 10 O'Clock the trumpet sounded as signal for
strangers to leave the encampmen. The ground
was then placed in charge OF magistrates and watch
men for the night, and The people retired 10 ST.
The meeting, in the absence Of the Presiding Elder,
was directed by DR.. BANGs, Preacher in chales -
Among the officiating preachers were A!essrs. j. w.
b. Wood, Robert Seney, a. Osborn, and F. w.
Smith. We were informed that the meeting had
been very successful, the number of conversions
brng larger Than was las; year. is probable
,hai the members OF other sects would approve oi
all that transpired ut this meeting. bat they could
not fail TO admire the grea, and sincerity apparent
in the conduct Of those who participated in the
cises.
