The Fishery.

To tic Editor of the AIeuaudriu Guzeue:
| observe in the Gazette that you place greaI
reliance in the opinion Of my old friend Capt
Guy, as TO the coming of shad and herring ur
the Potomac. Has it occurred to him that since
be commenced fishing that there has a grea.
change taken place 10 the mode Of catching
them? Io that day such a thing as a gill net
was hardly known, but now they line the river
from near its mouth to the falls, and on a dark
night their lights, made to avoid being ruu over
by vessels, remind one of the stars of the beav-
ems on clear night. Now if this be the case,
aud Capt. Guy will not deny it, bow can shad
and herrlogs get up the river except 10 very
small quantities? And what is still worse, it is
not done altogether ty our people. The north
ern OILERS having pretty we'll destroyed all the
hsh 10 their own waters have now come to the
Potomac to do the same for US. Ii was re-
ported and has never been contradicted that
one hundred gill boats came around from Pblla-
delpbia in one vessel alone. Add them to our
native OILERS aud they will make about the
round number Of five hundred. Now can
Capt. Guy or auy reasonable man suppose the
Potomac can stand this? Has not the brave,
jolly, old captain seen the fish from overwheln-
Ing numbers come gradually down 10 the little
end OF nothing. All the while the fish con-
sumers, that is the great mass of the people,
stands with their hands in their breeches
pockets, and their eyes wide open crying, "Well
It is not my funeral, so [ pay the high charges
for my fish it is all that can be expected OF me-"
| can tell all such if they are not up and doing
they will soon be compelled to cal dry bread,
Tor the river cannot stand such a terrible draft,
aud that principally by foreigners. Possibly
BY a little care and Matching Of fish the river
'an stand our people, but when you add the
scientific giller from the north we are doomed,
md that now. There should be a meeting Of
he fish commissioners Of both States in Alex.
with some experienced Gsherueo, Cant.
5uy among them) and OILERS to devise some
,lan by which the fish can be propagated. But
hey had just as we'll hatch fish in a mill pond
8 tho Potomac, daned up as it is, and that
With such close work that a herring can't get
trough; and when their plan is made and
'assed into law the TWO States, should each
ave a police boat in the river to see their laws
beyed, and they can be we'll spared, for at
hat time the oyster season is pretty we'll over.

The Galaxy for June contains articles by LIT.
r. NJ. Coan, Juuius Henri Browne, Richard
Grant White, Miss S. +. Hopkins, and other
writers whose names are not so we'll known to

able article 10 the number is a sketch OF Prince
Achille Murat, the nephew of the great Nap!o-
leon. who, at the close of his uncle's career IN
Europe, came to this country, married az Am
erican, and lived many years IN Florida. Inc
account of his life and ecceutricitles is an enter
tanning and valuable chapter 10 the history OF
the Bvnaparte family. Another very attrac-
tive article is a picturesque description of the
West Of England, the birthplace OF Fielding

title of a pleasing summer article. Jun'us
