NTHE FISHERMEN. BY the BY, if all we
hear betrue, our colonial neighbors have
good deal of reason for complaining of
Che Yankee fishermen. It is said Sour
boys 60 ashore under pretence of drying
their cod and .mackerel; and cut up all
sorts of capers. They won't keep the
Sabbath !; but whistle, dance, sing, and
frolic On that, as on any other day.
They capture all the little pigs and
chickens, eat up all the gingerbread, and
make love to all the prettiest girls, '.cut-
ting OUT the Observation-Disclosures and Nova
Scotians. This is, we are inclined to
believe, the foundation of much of the
trouble. In the new treaty to be made
there ought to be stipulations ''fornenst"
such doings, and against making rows
generally on our neighbors' premises.
The COMMAND OF THE FISHING GROUND
SQUADRON has, we feel assured, been de-
volved on the veteran Commodore Shu-
brick, who combines great activity with
sagacity, patience, energy and persever-
ance, such as fit him precisely for the
satisfactory discharge of the delicate half
diplomatic and half professional duties
with which he must be charged in the
existing condition of affairs in that quar-
ter.
The STEAM FRIGATE San JACINTo AND
HER OFFICERs.-The San Jacinto reaches
Philadelphia with her machinery in an
awful condition. 1t requires overhauling

at once be ordered to be done in the Phil
adelphia yard. The Department has just
granted three months leave of absence to
the officers who returned in her from the
Mediterranean. They are as follows,
viz:
Thos. Crabbe, Commander.

Barnett, and j. NJ. wainwright, Lieuten-
ants.
