The price of this admirable fish. the
New York Journal of Commerce saws.
is lower now than for long series Of
years past. The cause is singular, and
shows thattrade, as well as law, is some
times very uncertain. The OPENING
prices for the catch of this wear were
much the same with those of last wear.
and every thing seemed to be going on
smoothly, when all at once there rnsh-
ed into Boston Bay an immense school
of very fat mackerel, of rather small
size, and evidently Of a different family
from those usually taken. The catch
of the fishermen was instantly quadru-
pied. From this school an extra GUAM
tity was taken, amounting, as some per-
sons estimate, to twenty thousand bbIs,
Although very fat and delicious. they
were, from their size, almost all ranked
as No. 2 and 8, and the prices of these
numbers were thrown down to their
present position. The fall on No. 2
was four dollars barrel, Causing a.
very severe loss to holders who had pur-
chased with the ordinary prospect of
profit. This new family of fish have
been chiefly instrumental in causing
the irregularity in the inspections which
we have already mentioned. Some of
the inspectors rated as No. l, on ac-
count of fairness, the same fish which
others called No. 2, on account of size.
For use it is really Of very little conse-
quence; for their excellent quality is
inducing our best livers to take them
for family use in preference to the CON-
mon fish of larger size, which are of
very questionable superiority, though
selling at double the price. -[Dollar

school Commissioners.

This is an office that brings no COM
pcnsation but the qualification of some
mems propensity, to test the acquire
ments and capabilities Of other men,
as a phrenoiogist itches to feel your
bumps. 1t may be compared to the
duties Of a cheese inspector, who tests
the article by boring, or melon thief
who cuts out aplug to ascertain wheth-
Their the prize is green or not. Butch
ers learn cruelty, so these honorable
gentlemen learn to maDgle and smoth-
err the hopes of a trembling aspirant
for the birchcn sceptre, without the
least conjunction. They wish no bet
ter meal than a dish Of mortified igno-
rance, served up in the Uranium OF some
self-confdent school master. Like the
northern heroes, they eat their food
from the skulls of their victims. A
turkey on thanksgiving day would not
have given SO much satisfaction as

The Railroad Bubble in England.
We yesterday conversed with a gen.
tleman who few days since returned
from England, and he said that serious
apprehensions were entertained among
shrewd men and leading capitalists Of
the Great Metropolis, in relation TO the
disasters likely to grow out of The with
drawal of SO immense amount of capt.
tai from manufacturing, commercial
and business pursuits generally, to in
vest in the numerous railroad schemes
that are all the rage among spectators
and others. He says that the excite
ment on the Stock Exchange, and the
extent of this fever of speculation. can
scarcely be conceived by one who has
not mingled among the parties. When
the reaction comes it will be tremend-
Gus; and at the last dates it would seem
to have commenced, as several failures
had taken place amongst railroad bro
kers, and others were expected. To
show the extent Of this excitement, we
may mention that the House Of Com
mons some time ago, printed list of
the names Of persons holding railway
stock to the amount of ten thousand
pounds and upwards, and it was imme-
diately discovered that large number
Of these individuals were wholly I'M
able TO hold a single share, and that
many names were fictitious. The
shares were taken on speculation, OBJ
tanned in some instances by fraud. and
held till favorable opportunity came
to transfer them at a premium.

The business OF the season is now approach
inga close. The augmentation of Lake freighis
is so great tina. all the shipping are doing a
profitable business. Our wharves are constant
ly numbered with produce from the West, and
merchandise from the East, each seeking, as
speedily as possible. Its place of destination.
The receipts Of tolls upon our public works for
the las, six weeks have been very heavy, and
are bringing the sum total up TO the aggregate
Of last year. Before the season Of navigation
closes, We look for larger collection of tolls
upon the New York Canals, than any other
previous season.
In regard to the business Of The city, there
is little doing of note. Prices generally re-.
main without change, though there has been a
downward tendency in whea, aud flour. The
demand for all articles Of country produce is
good, and prices fair--higher, in the aggre-
gate, than they have been for some years
back.--Builslo Pilot of Oct. 18th.

NooTKA OR VANCOUVER ISLAND, on
the northwest coast of North America,
we have it from good authority, is to
be the final destination and home of the
Mormon people. This Island is about
800 miles long, and from rs to 100 in
width. 1t is separted from the main
land by long, narrow strait, and lies
between the AZ or AS and 5lst or 52d
degrees Of north latitude, extending
alouS tiiU cUast In northwest direction.
The boundary line between the Ameri-
can and British possessions in the north
west, will probably pass across the Is
land. The English, we believe, have
one or two trading posts on the Island,
but for the most part, it is inhabited by
Indians, of not warlike disposition.
1t is long journey, but can be accom-
plished. If the Mormons do emigrate
to that distant land, they will be out of
the reach of harm from white men, and
may enjoy their peculiar notions in
quiet, until the devil breeds his own
discords and confusion among them.
We understand from the same au-
thority, that companies are rapidly or
ganizlng at Nauvoo, for an early start
in the Spring. The Church, aushori-
ties and leading men, will go out in a
very large company, and without doubt
the remainder will follow.--TQuiacy
