THE FISHING INTEREsT.-The Gloucester,
Mass, Telegraph learns that the committee
having charge of the fishing interests of that
town, have requested Hon. Timothy Davis to
proceed to Washington, in company with B.
H. Corliss, ESQ.,, of the committee, to ascer-
tain if anything can be done to relieve our
community from the embarrassment arising
from the repeal OF the reciprocity treaty.
The Telegraph says: A.-.-.-..-
"In 1852 Gloucester packed 1926 barrels
of mackerel; in 1868, 153, ,S92 barrels; in 1884.
154 1888 barrels; in 1865, 141,575 barrels, IT
will thus be seen that in 1862 more than twice
the number of mackerel were packed in Glou-
cester than in the whole State of Maine; and
in 1864 more than three times as many; vet
we hear the cry from Maine representatives in
Congress that the free fishing in the Bay OF
st. Lawrence amounts to nothing, and that the
fishing interest would be better off without it.
The larger proportion of the Gloucester pack
ed mackerel are caught in British waters, as
are also good proportion of those packed in
Maine; and to drive American fishermen out
OF those waters would give the provincials such
an advantage over them, as would eventually
crush the mackerel fishery in American waters,
and give them the whole market of the Allan
tic coast. 1t is the enterprise of our citizens
which has built up this business, and they
would continue to increase it despite the COM
petition of the provncials, If the tree fishing
could be preserved to them"

BILE action of ChieEJustice Chase in refarenc
to the trial of JEFF Davis at Richmond II Is
proper to state that no courts will he held in
Richmond or Norfolk while the writ of ba-
beas corpus is suspended in Virginia. and
while military authority is supreme. 1t IS the
opinion OF an eminent jurist that jeff Davis
and his associates, should, while the military
power is exercised, be tried for treason by
Military Commission of the most distinguish
ed officers in the service. 1t is considered that
is a crime and should be made odious," there
has been ample opportunity to test it at Che
last three sessions Of the United States Court
at Baltimore, over which Chief Justice Chase
Messrs. Evarts, Clifford. and Rousseau have
heen retained by the Government for the trial
of left Davis. They were in Washington

tne large audience to the close. Creeds did
not ind him their advocate, and especially

were deeply interesting, and his advice to those

The sermon was an able and interesting one
and will long be remembered by those who
heard it. No doubt the Church and Society
will be reluctant 10 let him go, and it will be
difficult to find one to fill his place. The Par
ish is now in good condition, free from debt,

will be painful parting, and he may vet be
