THE FISHERIES AND RECIPROCITY

THE FISHERIES AND RECIPROCITY.
The President of the United States transmit.
ted to Congress, en- Tuesday, a report from
the State Department, setting forth the present
state of the negotiations with the British Gov
ernment in reference TO the fisheries and the
general question of provincial reciprocity.-
The Republic contains the folio wing analysis
ofthe report
The British government, Dir. Everett re.
ports, is prepared to adjust the fishery dispute
by admittin- American vessels to full part.
cipaiion in the public fisheries of Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and
Canada, on condition of the free admission of
the products of the colonial fishermen into the
American markets, and their reciprocal aJmis.
sion TO the fisheries on the shores and coasts f
this country. The British government is not
disposed, however, 10 treat of this subject
apart from that OF commercial reciprocity; but
TO avert trouble during the approaching sea-
son, MIR. Everett suggests that Congress shall
pass an act giving effect to our part of the con-
ttmplated arrangement, under cow icton
that the effort will be met in friendly spirit
by Britain. The bill introduced on Saturday
by Senator Davis, is in accordance with this
recommendation, except that il embraces the
Newfoundland fisheries in the list of those TO
which American fishermen shall be admitted,
while MIR. Everett expresses a doubt of the
willingness of Britain to place Newfoundland
in the category of fisheries conceded.
The character of the reciprocity which we
are to be asked TO concede does not appear 10
have been precisely agreed upon by the Brit
sh government. Ii may be inferred from the
tenor of MIR. Everett's re marks that the list of
articles to be recprocally admitted will en-
brace but portion of the products Cf the soil
and industry of the United States. In consid-
Grafton OF the balance thus created in favor of
the provinces, our vessels are to be admitted to
the free navigation Of the Welland and Rdeau
canals and the River St. Lawrence. The free
navigation of the ST. John should certainly be
added. Mr.. Everett submits a suggestion,
that though the details of the plan, so far as il
has been adj us,ed, may rot prove wholly sat-
isfactory, its general provisions are sufficient
ly beneficial to be worthy OF favorable consid'
GRAFTON, leaving more complete arrangement
to be matured at a future period.
There is no prospect, MIR. Everett admits,
OF legislative action in regard to reciprocity
before the close of the present session. but
he cherishes an expectation that the pending
negotiations will result ina satisfactory agree
ment at no remote period.
The message of the President and the re-
port of Mr.. Everett will be found in full in our
report OF ofCongr1ssional proceedings.

DEGS leave to inform the citizens of Washington

Instructions. His long experience in teaching this
delightful art and beautiful mplishment both in
Europe and in America, enables him to progress much
quicker with his pupils, and to give them at the
same time more profound knowle ige of Music than
is usually done, because his method, always adapted
to the capacity of the scholar, embraces both theory
and prartice, and thereby makes the study of music
more interesting and pleasant to them.

to take lessons on that instrument take them at

TIE PASTORS DAUGHTER.

An ivymantled cottage smiled,
Deep-wooded near a streamlets side,
Where dwelt the village pastors child,
In all her maiden bloom and pride.
Proud suitors paid their court and duty
To this romantic sylvan beauty:
Yet nore of all the swains who sought her.
Was worthy of the pastors daughter.
The town gallants crossed hill and plain,
To seek the groves of her retreat,
And many followed in her train,
To lay the riches at her feet.
But still, for all their arts so soary,
From home they could not lure the fairy,
maid without heart they thought her,
And SO they left the pastors daughter.
One balmy eve in dewy spring,
A bard became her fathers guest:
He struck his harp, and every string
TO love vibrated in her breast
With that true faith which cannot falter,
Her hand was given at the altar,
And faithful was the heart he brought her
To wedlock and the pastors daughter.
How seldom learn the worldly CAV,
With all their sopbistry and art,
The sweet and gentle primrose-way
To woman's fond, devoted heart:
They seek, but never find, the treasure,
Although revealed in jet and azure;
To them, like truth in wells of water,
A fable is the pastors daughter.
