From the Newfoundland fisheries, considered
independently of the immense fishing business
In behring's, mackerel, halibut, salmon and
Goldfish of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island. The Importance Of
t9sse northeastern fishing grounds, limited to
Goldfish and mackerel alone, and the value of
our Yankee fshernen's rights outside the
marine league from the shore, are such as to
make the settlement of this question ques-
hon OF peace or war between England and the
United States. What, then, would be the
value to us of all those fisheries with the
annexation of the New Dominion and all its
inland island appendages? The value would
probably be not less than fifty millions year
tor few years, but not longer, for in
q few years those fisheries, by Ameri-
can enterprise, would probably be de-
Btroyed, as we have destroyed or are
destroying fish and game of all descriptions
throughout the country. twenty-five years
hgo the shad and herring fisheries of the
Potomac and other rivers of the Chesapcake
Bay appeared to be inexhaustible; but seines
and gill nets have nearly extinguished the
shad and herring in those waters. The same
sweeping American inventions, we apprehend,
will, in a few years, exterminate the delicious
white fish of our great lakes and even the
pickerel of our smaller lakes from Maine to
the Rocky Mountains. Our fish and game
protecting societies are doing something to
arrest this greedy work of destruction; but
without the cooperation of Congress and of
our State Legislatures in game and fish pre-
Serving laws and in their enforcement, twenty
years hence, at the rate that we have been
going for the last twenty, our lakes and rivers
will be Gshless and our woods destitute of
game Nay, more; the very birds which pro-
beet the farmers forests and cereals from
destructive insects will be destroyed, and our
fruits and crops will have to pay the penalty.
In this view we shall be content for the
fine being with treaty Of peace between the
United States and England without the annex
stion of British North America, so that the
American people may still have some reserves
In which they may share in the pleasures and
profits of fishing and hunting without going all
the way to South America, Africa or Alaska.

Tho NewfoundIand Sea. FIshery-A Year 81
.as Jubilee. 'e's~

.s-.4.s.s Jubilee.
From Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, we
publish this morning very interesting letter
on the Newfoundland seal fisheries and the
great harvest in seals reaped this season by
those hardy "toilers Of the sea-" Our GORE
spondent furnishes sonis Statistics 81 these
seal fisheries which, to many Of our readers
will appear almost incredible. The feet which
went up this season to ''the seal ice" 0he Ice
drifting down Bafan's Bay to the Atlantic on
the Arctic currenD numbered one hundred and
fifty vessels, steamers and sailers, and from
the vessels returned, bringing each from fifteen
TO twenty thousand pelts, and from the reports
which they bring of the swarms of seals en-
countered, the aggregate catch this year will
probably not be less than two hundred and
fifty thousand pelts. Some conception of the
cash value of such harvest may be formed
from these facts-that vessel with crew of
sixty men, with catch Of ten thousand seals,
will distribute to each man of the sixty $3.50
In gold and allow to the captain, as his per-
centage, the sum of one thousand dollars. In
short, estimating each seal at only three dol
lars in value to the fishermen concerned, a
harvest of two hundred and fifty thousand will
be equal to $4,000.
And this seal business is an item in these
Newfoundland fisheries which does not enter
Into the fishery question now before the Joint
High Commission. The exports of Newfound-
land for the year 1859, for instance, which

UNION LEAGUE rnEArER-Mss GLYN.

UNION LEAGUE TTIEATER-MlSS GLYN.
The fourth of Miss Glyn's readings at the
Union League Theater took place on Wednesday after
noon small concourse of spectators-represcntat
however OF the educated and fashionable casses-as-
sembled TO hear it. Miss Glyn read King John -
making, Of course some needful cuts, and making them
iudicously. An intellectual entertainment was thus
afforded. Miss Glyn displayed ripe and practiced in
tegence in discriminating between the characters and
interpreting the motives, conduct, and emotions that
arc delneated in this affecting historical play The
treacherous royal murderer King John, was, in
particular wildly suggested. The most powerful por
ton Of the reading that in which Miss Glyn unvaed
the utter inhumanity and balcful wckedness of the
King, as shown in the celebrated scene with Hubert
the third in the third act Her whispered tonesas she
uttered the bood-curding words in which John tempts
Hubert TO kill the Prnce-were truly thrilling. Charles
Keans impressive reading Of this passage was, by the
way conjured up recollection, by this vigorous and
excellent effort Not that Miss Glyn's method was an
imitation only had the double merit OF being good IN
itself and ofrccalng good work Miss Gyms general
reading Of the play evenly mcrtorious. She was
much applauded.
THE CIRCUS.
Mr. Lent's Circus building was for brief
time in some danger of being consumed, on Tuesday
evening by the fire that broke out in Thirteenth-st at
the rear Of the establishment The peril however, was
averted and Mr. Lcnt's property was damaged to the
extent Of only $50 Shortly after the fire began to
rage Mr. Lester Waack offered Mr. Lent the services OF
all the stage-hands connected with his theater with q
view to the removal of the Circus properties should that
step be found necessary The usual matinee took place
at the Circus Wednc and performances are gwen
at the customary times The chief equestrian performer
now on exhibition is Mr.. George Donald. Mile Jeanette
