ON THE FISHERIES.

The prospect of the conclusion of a reciprocity
arrangement with the British Provinces (says the
Boston JournaD is becoming more and more dim
and distant, in consequence of the exorbitant de-
mands of our Provincial neighbors. The Eastern
Provinces refuse to surrender the fisheries unless
the United States will register their vessels and adj
nit the Provincial ship-ownersT6 the privileges Of
the coasting trade. This is not to be thought Of
Canada has always been in favor of the reciprocity
system, and of liberal arrangement of the fishery
question But committee of the Canadian Parlia-
ment has recently made report in opposition to any
arrangement whereby the proposed fishery rights
shall be conceded to the United States. They say,
in fact that the United States can offer nothing that
would be equivalent for the grant of the fisheries
Our Provincial friends are altogether too shrewd
in making bargain. They are likely to overreach
themselves. The United States have shown dis
position to conclude an arrangement which will be
liberal to the Provinces, and which will materially
contribute to their welfare and prosperity. If they
fail to meet us in the same spirit Of fairness and
hberality, the whole negotiation must fall to the
ground. The United States can get along without
reciprocity much better than the Provinces can.
