three thousand fish from the Artificial Piscicul-

the French government. They consisted of sal

Switzerland, and grayling from the Lake of

these fishes, they had been permitted to return

they would have exhibited very different re-

to proceed TO the ocean, returns to the rivers in

any but the natural method Of producing living

SHOwING THE WHITE FEArHER-Reynold's
Newspaper says: The correspondents of the
Times and the Daily News distinctly asserted
that, at the battle of Alma, the Duke of Cam
bridge ordered his division to fall back when
Sir Colin Campbell rode up, and, Indignantly
cOuntermanding the fatal order, shouted out,
" The Highianders never retreat Forward -
This promptitude on the part Of Sir Colin proba-
bly, saved the fortunes Of the day; for, had the
Dukes division fallen back the Russians would
have pressed forward in overwhelming num-
bers, and q panic on our side ensued The
same authorities allege that, when the Duke
applied to Lord Raglan for orders at BalakIaya,
his lOrdsbip told him to seek them at the hands
Of Sir Colin Campbell-his subordinate We
do not, Of our own knowledge, vouch for the
accuracy Of these statements but they have
been given on the highest authorities They
first appeared in the daily papers, were copied
into the Edinburg Review, and have been cir
culsted over the wide world. No contradiction
has ever been given to them by the Duke. IL
is generally supposed that military officers are
peculiarly sensitive of their professional repu
tations; and it, therefore, does appear strange
that, if able to do so, the Duke of Cambridge
has not refuted statements apparently prej1-
dicial TO his martial fame
