THE FISHERIES AND RECIPROCAL TRADE.

The joint address of both Houses of the Legislature Of
New Brunswick to her Britannia Majesty the fisheries
and reciprocal trade with the United States, after
treating her Majesty to continue the protection to the
fisheries which extended last year. and declaring
that this of wealth belongs exclusively to the
people of those colonies and that foreigner should be
permitted to participate therein, upon any terms
dtions whatever, proceeds complain that American
ships permitted carry goods from port of the
British empire TO another and enter at the
charges British vessels while British and colonial
sells possess such advantages in the United States
states also that American goods admitted into the
colonies at 81 per cent and breadstu admitted free
of duty, the injury of the colonial producer while
onal productions charged from twenty to thirty PEI
cent. After enumeration of the evils which they suf
fer, the address recommends
That separate treaties the subject Of the fisheries
and reciprocal trade be entertained Great Britain
but that in the event Of any such negotiation,
vention shall embrace all the objects under discus
sion by the two Governments Upon condition that the
United States will grant reciprocity in certain articles,
the growth production, manufacture of the North
American colonies and admit coonal-bult ships to
gstry in American ports in the manner and with
like privileges that American vessels admitted to
gsty in any port of the British empire and permit the
vessels of New Brunswick trade and carry cargoes be-
tween the different States of the Union, the
American ships permitted to do from British
port to another then this colony would be willing to
admit the articles the like terms and also admit
American fishermen free participation with British
subjects in the in-shore and bay fisheries the
of New Brunswick, with permission to land upon the
for the purpose Of drying their and curing
their fish provided also, that fishermen permit
ted to enjoy the like privilege along the American coasts
The Home Government is also requested to let the Co
onal Legislatures impose the diferental duties that
they may be able to equalize the tariffs between them
selves and the Americans.

The Richmond Enquirer, with all its arguments
and reasons on the subject of the public lands can
not make out good case in favor of the continued
refusal to receive Virginia's share of the public
lands If we have not heretofore received our share
it is not the fault of the Wings; if Congress has
continued to violate the terms of the deeds of ces-
sion, it is not the fault of the Wings. They have
struggled in vain to preserve the public lands from
the grasp of portion of the States. Failing in
that they think it is but right and just the lands
all going, that Virginia should have her share
They can see no reason, for an abstraction, why
Virginia should punish herself when she has com
mitted no wrong Alexandria Gazette.

The late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. CoRwIN,
is receiving liberal share of abuse from certain
reckless party presses for his connexon with recent
alleged violations Of the spirit of the Subtreasury
act The extent Of his offending is thus briefly
stated by the Newark Advertiser:
We do not understand that the ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Mr. Corwn is charged with using Government
funds in making investments in United States stocks for
his advantage but for that Of the country. Finding
surplus in the Treasury Of nearly twenty millions, not
bearing interest and doing good to any one but
the contrary pressing with dead weight upon the limbs of
trade and business, he procures portion of it to be
brought to the of the people by buying in las he
authorized to do by aw Government stocks Is that all
Yes, that is all Where, then, is the harm What evil
has the Secretary done? The country getting in
terest for their money which before lay useless and life
less in the vaults of the Subreasuy and the community
is benefited equally"
Secretary CoRwIN was authorized by Congress to
make the purchases of stock, and the only irregu-
arty is that he employed agent to do it, instead
of going into Wall street himself with keg of spe-
Gle, as strict construction of the Subreasury law
would require 1t is not pretended that dollar Of
the public funds was lost by the course pursued by
Mr. Corwin, or indeed that there was any danger OF
loss
