From the Report of Pierre Fortin,
Esq, the Canadian Fishery Commission
er, we learn that the total value of the
fisheries on all the coasts of Canada, in
the Gulf, and the lower part of the River
st. Lawrence, for 1865, was $1,212,180
80, being $4,000 in advance of the
previous year.-Of this amount Goldfish
represent 1924, 749, and herring $129,11
after which the largest item is the seal
fishery, producing $sO,196. Caplin,
place, or herring, for manure $3.50.
These latter when they become unfit for
market are used for agricultural purpos-
es, and make an excellent manure

the destruction Of the eggs of wild fowl

dissolved as if by magic, and, gradually
sinking down, fell with "a terrific crash.
The main girders of the transept remain
ed, and in the midst of their circling
arches could be seen the colossal statues
of the Egyptian court sitting erect, with
the flames leaping and playing around
them. On the floor of this wing the
aviary and the collection of monkeys was
kept. Efforts were made TO rescue as
many of these poor creatures as possible;
one gentleman took out Is canarles and
let them loose in the nave o man seized
an eagle and carried it away under his
arm ; others made o dart at the OWlery
and saved some of its occupants. But
the unhappy chimpanzee feel a victim 10
the fire, he was seen, frantic and tearing
at the bars Of his cage in his wild terror,
but no one could venture near the spot,
and he was burned to death-the poor
creatures shrieks and cries were pain
full to hear. A Florida parrot, presented
by the famous Biondin 10 the Crystal
Palace Company, was rescued by the
Duke of Sutherland, who was rewarded
for his humanity by SO vigorous an on
slaught on his fingers from the frightened
parrots horny beak, that his grace's
handkerchief had to be brought into re-
QUESTION. Great regret is felt at the
destruction of IA cage of white doves, be-
queathed TO the Palace by the celebrated
Lola Monies j; and as for the fine collec-
ton of fish it will be long before their
loss can be supplied. While all this was
going on a number of the Stall-keepers
FASTENED to the Palace and removed their
property ia cabs and other vehicles. So
serious were the approximations entertain
ed about four o'clock that all the books OF
the company were removed from tie build
ing in cabs TO o place of safety. As darkness
closed in the confagratiOn became visible
for miles around, and some thousands of
people hurried down by train and road to
witness IT. 1t was stated that some 30
engines arrived, and were set to work
under the orders of Captain Shaw. The
fire, nevertheless, ragged until eight o'clock
when it was finally e~xtinguished in the
main building. The tower, however,
continued to burn for at least an hour
later.
Some of the surveyors of the different
fire offices estimate the damage at nearly
half o million. Mr.. White, The assessor
to the County Fire Office, is Of opinion
that the loss will not exceed from
100000 to $500, 600, The losses to
various exhibitors will be severely felt,
but most Of them had their goods insur-
ed by floating policies.
A number of the birds and monkeys
kept in the tropical wing made their es-
cape. The pheasants were seen moving
about the streets of Camberwell during
Sunday night.

FIRE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

cut AT The CryStal FalaCe, threatening
at one time the entire fabric. At 90
minutes past one o'clock o policeman
walked round the courts at the tropical
end of the Palace, and everything then
seemed to be quite safe. There was not
the slightest smell of fire. At two
o'clock, or a few minutes before that
hour, fire was found to be raging in the
neighbourhood Of the lecture-room.
The flames spread with astounding ra-
pidity TO the re~ading-room and the adj
Iacent courts, and soon dense masses of
smoke filled the whole of the tropical
department., which is separated from the
rest Of the building by an immense can
vas screen. The inhabitants of the
neighbOurhood soon saw that something
was amiss in the Palace. Several gen
tlemen left their homes and fastened to
the building but for at least half an
hour those inside would not admit any,
one !; perhaps they did not hear the
At length, however, a little before three
O'Clock, some dozen gentlemen got in,
some by escalade. When they entered,
they found the fire making terrific pro-
gress. Flame and smoke filled nearly
the whole Of the tropical wing, and be-
gan TO enter the rest of the building by
means of the galleries. The roof at the
end where the fire ragged had become red
hot, and threatened to fall in every no
ment. Some of the gentlemen who
gained admittance state that they found
only three persons in the Palace-a gar
dener, o Policeman, and the attendant on
the birds and monkeys. The Palace fire
engine was just been got ready TO work
the hose was being shaken out. None
of the chief officials were on the spot.
1t being Sunday they were at their homes.
The gentlemen at once took it upon
themselves to act with Il view to save
the building from destruction. They
went outside and invited some Is or 90
~navvies who were lettering about to
come in and work. The men readily
agreed, and in o few minutes the whole
body of volunteers had provided them
selves with crow-bars and other imple-
ments from the tool house, and they at
once set to work to tear up the flooring
of the Palace outside the screen, so as to
prevent the flames rushing along If the
screen, which was Scorched, caught fire,
aud setting the Handel orchestra and the
theatre in a blaze. The gigantic Christ
mas tree was cut down and removed,
numbers of the stalls demolished, and
everything Of q description likely TO burn
removed as far as possible from the
screen. The panels Of deal which form
ed the back of the gallery facing the
road were smashed away as fast as the
men could ply their crow-bars /; but the
flames set them on fire so fast that the
men had for a long time to keep retreat
ing and demolishing as they went. At
half past three o'clock the end Of the
building gave way the roof fell in as
far as the north transept, and the flames
shot up in q mass. The effect of this
was very serious, and if the wind had not
been blowing away from the central
transept nothing could have saved the
whole Palace from immediate destruc-
ton. The appearance of the burning
end of the Palace at this moment was

DISTRESS IN New YoRK.-The a~ssocia-
ton for improving the condition of the
poor report that at no period has there
been so great an amount Of suffering
among the INDECENT at New York as at
present. With the close OF the war the
people looked for a decline in rents and
prices of provisions, but they have look
ed in vain. The New York Times states
that the retail prices of the necessaries
of life are higher in more instances than
they are lower than a year ago. Flour
ranges from 81 Coo. to So Use. per 24lb.

that breed on the islands of the Labrador
coast, Mr.. Forth tells US, has long been
felt, but the ~untrequented character of
the localities in which the birds breed rem
ders it difficult to detect the t%ransgres-
sors. The extent TO which this business
of "robbing birds nests" was carried may
be Judged from the fact that six or eight
schooners were formerly engaged in the
trade, several Of whom found a ready sale
for their cargo Of "gulls' eggs i'll this
city. The publications and enforcement
ofCanadian game laws had the effect of re-
ducing these to two or three buteven these
committed sad havoc on the nests of the
the wild fowl. On the 9Th of July, 1865,
Mr.. Fortin succeeded in detecting the
captain of the schooner Ocean Bride and
two of his men also engaged in this un-
lawful occupation. They were arrested
and fined $50 each, in default of pay
ment Of which they were sent to Jail
for two months. Some other arrests were
made and Fortin tells us that these pro-
ceedings ''produced Il great sensation"
on the coast, and will, he thinks, ~effectu-
aIlv check 'birds' nesting" The Com
missioner draws attention 10 the fact that
the United States fishermen enjoy q 20
nopoly of the fish in Canadian waters.
In the mackerel fishery alone, the fisher
men Of the Republic employ from 1900
to 1900 vessels, the town Of Gloucester,
Mass, sending out 500 or 600 Of these
more than three times the number sent
out by Canada in all the fisheries. Tho
remedy suggested by Mr.. Forth is the
payment of a bounty of eight dollars per
ton on all Canadian vessels engaged in
the Gulf fisheries. This, he thinks,
would secure the building of q superior
class of vessels for the purpose, and "a
general development Of the fishery trade.

Money Market.

We learn that the Tennessee National Bank
ofthis city closed its doors yesterday, after an
existence Of nearly two years. This incident
seems to excite but little comment. as National
banks are falling oil over the country; and
who are the losers? The note holders arc Sc
cured by Government bonds, and if any losses
accrueit must be to depositors.
There is but little doing in financial matters
outside the regular routine. Gold is bought by
our brokers at 1873. Silver remains about as we
left it at our last. Buying at l25gl26. Selling
at 12S. City Scrip is not active. There is only
small offerings made at our counters. Buying

rants are dull. Our brokers show but little dis
position to buy. They offer from s. to 9Oc, and
sell at % to 93c. Exchange has continued
steady for several days back. The supply is
barely equal to the demand. Buying at par to

STAMP CAsEs.-In order that there may
be no misunderstanding in regard to the
stamp cases, we repeat the ruling of
Judge Trigg upon the subject. The
cases came up on motion to dismiss the
express receipt stamp cases on the follow
ing grounds: First, The declarations or
information seem to have been brought
by an Assistant Assessor, when they
should have been brought by the Collec-
tor. Second, That the information had
been brought prematurely, the declara-
tons showing that they had been brought
within the twelve months allowed to the
parties by law to appear before the Col
lector and convince him that the stamps
had been omitted inadvertently, and
without any intention of fraud or evasion
of law. Third, That the declarations
seem to have been filed by c. A. Choate,
Assistant District Attorney, when there
is no such officer in this district. Fourth,
That the declarations were void because
they did not include contra formuns
statua." The court ruled that the infor-
nation might be brought by the Assist
ant Assessor as we'll as by the Col
lector; therefore that ground could be no
reason for dismissal. Second, While it
was true the law gave the parties twelve
months to 60 before the Collector, to
convince him that it was an uninten-
tional violation Of the law, yet the United
States was not bound to wait twelve
months; and if suit was brought within
that time, prosecution must take their
chances, for if the parties should go be-
fore the Collector and convince him it
was by inadvertence the stamps we're
omitted, they would be permitted to
stamp the receipts, and that would be
remission of the costs and everything
else. Third, The court held the declara-
ton to be good. Fourth, The court did
not think it proper time to consider
the subject as to whether there was or
was not an Assistant District Attorney
illegally there might be), because that is
a question of fact, and would have to be
investigated
