be little doubt that the efforts of Mr. Barring will be

Barring, on his visit to Washington, will also en-

We have already stated that the position Of the
fishery question is by no means calculated to create
alarm, and to day enabled to state fac {
which will 60 far towards aaying the anxiety that
has been excited by the becose tone Of some of
the less accredited United States journals. Mr.
Thomas Barring. Of the eminent firm of Barring
Brothers & Co., is about to proceed to the United
States by the next packet and has offered his goo

and in view of the great influence exercised by this

from the vnst extent Of their mercantile and none

little doubt that the efforts of Mr. Bnging will be
attended with success. The announceRen will be
received with satisfaction proving that the Der

rent in the afternoon, and tended to strengthen the
feeling of the market towards the close but there
are other influences in operation, MS we have al
ready intimated, which have contributed very ma
terially to the production of the remarkable check
now noticed. The most important of these is the
weather, which is regarded with general solicit
tude as it is feared that the heavy rains and cold
wind will cause much damage to the wheat.

1t is reported in American circles that Mr.
Thomas Barring, of the firm of Barring Brothers &
Co., is about to proceed to the United States,
charged with special mission from government,
to endeavor to arrange the fishery dispute. This
appointment would give much satisfaction on the
other side of the Atlantic where the antecedents Of
Lord Ashburton and family, well as business con-
nections, would ensure Mr.. Barring cordial recep-
tion 1t is certain that this gentleman was not pre-
sent, yesterday, at the meeting in aid of the suffer-

From the London Mercantile Gazette August 12.l
We have much satisfaction in referrag to the
news brought to Southampton this day by the Hum
boldt from New York, as it confirms the opinion we
have throughout expressed regarding the fishery
dispute. It appears that President Fillmore disap-
proves Of the pursued by Mr. Webster in this
matter, and, in the opinion of the New YORK
HERALD, there was every prospect that an amicable

the Times is anxious to keep up an alarm this
subject, for what purpose it best knows; we can
only guess, Yankee would say, what that pur-

The extracts from the American journals which
| we yesterday published, and which were but sam
pies Of an extremely copious assortment, will to
4 convince every reader of the success with which
Lord Derbys cabinet, if really without serious in
tentions. has contrived to mystity the government
and people Of the United States The organs Of the
ministry at home have authoritatvey declared that
with respect to the north eastern fisheries, no new
| claim has been advanced, and no concession with
drawn, and that even "the disputed Interpretation
of the technical terms of the treaty of 1918 remains
| where it was" If this be indeed the case, we can
only observe that the protectors of the colonial fish,
cries are as difficult to understand as the protectors
Of the British farmer, and that the authorities and
people Of the Union have been led into very unfor-
tunate misconceptions. Substantially speaking,
there had been but disputed point in the
vention of 1918, and that, as we have already ex-
planned relates to the Interpretation properly
applicable to the term "bay"-the Americans
protesting to understand by this phrase the mar
| row creeks and inlets of the coast exclusively,
| and the British government maintaining that large
bays such as that Of Fundy, to the SOUTH and that
of Chaeur, to the north of New Brunswick are COM
pretended no less efectualy than the smaller coast
indentations. This Is the point which, as tho
reader is now aware, has been disputed for more
than thirty years. Thos British government neve-
made any surrender of its views though it conceded
certain relaxation in respect of the Bay of Fundy,
but the Americans although, Of course, incompe-
tent to give imperative effect to their own interpre
tation, have practically acted upon it to a consider
able extent BY the announcement that this ques-
wuka l. L.
stand an assertion that no step has been taken to
place the objects Of either government on q footing
different from that prevailing twelve months ago.
Of course, the dispute Of necessity "remains where
it was;' that is to say, the terms Of the written
convention are unchanged and the respective merits
of the two interpretations unaffected. To say this
is to say nothing at all and If the ministerial inti
nation contains any meaning whatever, it must be
