The Panama Pearl Fisheries

The Panama New Grenads) Star, of April
Oath, gives an account ofthe Pearl Fisheries Of
Panama, in the form Of communication from
correspondent. We copy;
The Pearl oyster abounds, not only at the
islands, but all along the shores OF the main
land; and even from the yet imperfect explora-
tion of this coast, we are inclined to the belief
that series OF deposits lay from the Gulf Of
Darien even to that of California. We know
that in the waters of the latter place, and among
the shores of Central Mexico and Costa Rica,
fishers of shells have, for length of time, en-
Ijoyed the most profitable employment, though
we are not yet aware that pearls o. any c0nse-
quence have ever been discovered. From the
province of Chiriqui several shipments have been
at sundry times made, by merchants of this
town, of shells extracted from deposits In that
neighborhood; and boatmen who bring the ord.
nary table oyster to this market, assert that
banks of the pearl. bearing mollusce, at not
very distant intervals, abound in every drec
tion on the coast of this State
The extraction of this commodity has, how.
ever, not been prosecuted with any vigor, in con.
sequence of the fear entertained for sharks,
sters which iniest these shores, but which are
80 comparatively scarce at the islands as not to
create great alarm amongst the divers. Seve-
raj accidents which occurred some years ago
caused TOO much panic to induce any further at
tempt along the shores; but it may with safety
be hoped that scien fc appliances will soon over.
come these obstacles and Illustrate the endeav-
ors of the sea enemies Of man.
We do not see why the systems pursued at
Ceylon and in the Persian Gulf could not be
made adaptable to answer our use; and we re-
gret that we are not sufficiently versed in these
systems to unfold them at this point. In fine,
it may be interesting TO know that the value of
the pearl oyster shell consists chiefly in its
nacreous excellence. The small shell, Of which
many thousands are taken out and cast away,
are Of complete uselessness, whilst the full
grown and we'll matured shells, rich in their iri.
descent beauty, are of high estimation and of
superior market worth.

Proportiouate Population Of Upper and Lowe
Canada.
[Erom the Toronto Leader

[Erom the Toronto Leader,
Although the returns of the personal census
are not yet complete, the general result may be
stated with sufficient accuracy for all practical
purposes. The total population Of United
Canada will not exceed 2, 100 ZOO; and the ex-
cess of population in Upper over that of Lower
Canada will not be more than $50 900 souls.
The increase during the last decade has been
about forty per cent. in Upper, and thirty per
cent in Lower Canada.
The population Of Upper Cansda does NOT
count up as had been predicted by persons who
asserted the disproportion Of the population to
be 400, ,0O0-considerabl more than twice what
it really is. For ourselves, we are not disap-
pointed at the result. We showed, before the
census was taken, that the estimates based up.
on the increase Of the previous decade being
maintained during the period covered by the
late census were necessarily erroneous. The
per centage Of increase, when small number
has to be dealt with, is larger than that of a
larger number, though the positive increase be
the same, This was reason why the percent-
age OF the previous decade could not be main
tanned. Then there were the falling of In inn
migration and the increase of emigration from
Upper Canada to be taken into account. Bring.
ing these elements into our estimate, we come
to the conclusion that those who went upon the
assumption that the increase Of the previous
decade would be maintained would be 200, ,00O
over the mark. The returns show thatwe were
right.

The Laws Against Piracy.


Judge Sprague. Of the United States Circuit
Court, yesterday delivered charge to the Grand
Jury, in which he defined the state of our laws
with reference to the crime of piracy. He says
the laws enacted pursuant to the Constitution
cannot be invalidated by any State or States,
and State laws for that purpose are wholly nu-
gatory, and afford no legal protection to those
who act under them. 1t the States by revolu-
tion attempt to throw off the Government oi
the United States, while the other departments
of the Government and the nation refuse to re-
gard any State or association Of States as hav-
Ing the rights Of belligerent, or as carrying on
legitimate war, and are exerting not only moral
but physical force against them ss rebels anG
lawless aggressors upon the United States ant
lits citizens, the Courts also must go regart
them, and cApnot admit that any legislation OF
lsssumption of power by such State or State
can authorize acts In violation Of the laws o
1.-THE United States, or change the character o
offences under them. FRH' N1l ''n'

Ah, reader, these "ifs" never accomplish
ANYTHING! Weak mourning over the past, plant

Bstrothal Of the Princess Alice.
From the London Times Of Nav

lrrOm tue LonuOn llmes OI may T.
The marriage of Her Majesty second daugh
ter, the Princess Alice, is an event which will re.
new the good will which the British people feel
towards The reigning family. For four and
twenty years one sovereign has sat on the throne
of these Kingdoms; generation has grown up
which knows no other. Ia that time of dangers,
many causes of discomfort and internal dissen-
sion have passed away, and 1t may be said that
there exists no government, whether monarchi-
cal or republican, which enjoys more completely
the affection of the governed. To put attach
ment to the throne on the ground of political
satisfaction or material prosperity may not ac-
cord with the notions Of some loyalists; but IL
is the surest and most permanent basis which
ruler can hope for. The good will of the English
people to the reigning house, though partly there
suit of education and habit, is certainly, in these
times, chiefly owing, the belief that the present
SOY vereign has done her best to fulfil the duties
traditional to her station, and to advance the in
terests OF the State.
There is no class in the community which
feels jealousy or dislike of the Court, and con-
sequently the news that daughter of the Royal
house is about to be allied with an ancient and
respectable rsigning family, and that the match
has been formed by the mutual inclinations of
the pair, will be received with sincere satisfac.
tion. The marriage between Prince Louis and
the Princess Alice will, at any rate, not be one
of those unions arranged by diplomatists and
confirmed by family treaties, in which the per-
sons most nearly interested have no voice, and
must meet for the fret time when the die has
been irrevocably cast, and they are united for
good or for evil through life. The German
Prince and the English Princess have become
mutually attached, and marry as persons in q
private station marry-to further their own hap.
piness. Happily the times are past when dy-
nastic alliances were thought necessary to Sc.
cure nations greatness, and Parliament will
display its good will and generosity as much as
if the Princess husband had been chosen by
Ministers Of State, for purposes Of the most sub.
tie policy. rt

Oh, do not envy, my own dear wife,
The wealth Of the next door neighbor,
But bid me still to be Of stout heart,
And cheerfully follow my labor.
va You must know the last OF these little debts
That have been our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night; so we'll both 20 forth
With happier hearts tomorrow.
Oh, the debtor Is but shame faced dog,
With the credit RS pane on the collar;
While am king, and you are queen,
We owe no man dollar!
Our neighbor you saw in hi, coach to-day,
With his wife and his Haunting daughter,
While we sat down to our coverless board,
% To crust and cup Of water;
saw that the tear'drop stood In your eye,
Though you tried your best to concealit-
knew that the contrast reached your heart,
And you could not help but feel II;
But knowing now that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar
You will join my laugh, and help me shout,
For we owe no man u dollarl
This neighbor, whose show has dazzeled your eyes,
In fact Is q wretched debtor;
Ipity him oft in my very heart,
And wish that his l"t was better.
why, the man Is the veriest slave alive,
For his dsshng wife and daughter
Will live in style, though ruin should come
30 he goes like lamb to the slaughter,
But he feels II the tighter every day,
That terrible debtors collar!
Oh. what would he give, could he say with us,
That he owed no man dollar?
You seem amazed, but I'll tell you no more
Within two hours met him,
Sneaking away with frighted air,
Asif fiend had beet him;
Yet he fed from very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure
Whom called by name and forced to stop,
Though he said he was not at leisure;
He held my last note! SO held him fast
Till he freed my neck from the collar;
Then shook my head as proudly said,
snow owe no man doar"
All, now you smile, for you feel the force
or the truth l have been re! eating;
knew that downright, honest heart
Within that breast was beating.
Tomorrow Ill rise with giants strength,
To follow my daily labor;
But, ere we sleep, let US humbly pray
For our wreiched next door neighbor;
And we'll pray for the time when all shall be free
From the weight Of the debtors eollar!-
When the poorest shall lift up his voice and cry,
SNOW owe no man dollarW
