'the rectory is worth 60(11. a Year, bud is alternately in the gift of the Coourt of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council. It is this time in the gift of the Court of Gommou Council, and tire candidates axe the Rev. 111r. Rudge, a very popular preacher (we believe) at Limehouse, and the Rev. Air. Wood, the son of thie member for the city otf Londonr. X're understand the fishermen of this port are about to petition tIre Lords of tbie Treastrrv to revoke so rnuch of their Order in Council which imposes a tonnagc dutv on French vessels entering the ports of Portsmouth and Southamrpton, during the herrin fishery season, for fish. The dutv amounts to 3s. 6td. per ton', ar when piletage and other dues are added. it vwill amount almost to a proihibition to the Frenchmen coming to us for herrings. Tihough this mav appear at first sight a simple matter, yet it is, in fact, a subject of great imtportance, as well to the capitalist as to tile fisher. nen and inhabitar.ts adjacent to tbefishery; and it is equally so nationally, as being a nursery for seamen. Aloreover, teir presetrt duty is indirect opposition to tbat policy by which bountaes are in certain cases, giveti to fishermen.. It is well knovn tha the eatcli of herrings has fbr vears pas- beet, so great, that after ou markets have been cheaply supplied, te!re has been a congideralil, surplus-so Much so, that ureTss the lirichb veisct!s hadvisited thi portsi, the same must have beeni said for manure or tihotse away: and it is calculated tLie purchases made in this say, during Lhe las season on!0, amounted to 60,f091.

FANIATIciss.--An extraordinary act of fanaticism toe place at the hotel, Carnarvon, on Aionday last. A servatt of - elderly lady ot great respectability, who was there, very deliberate borrowced an axe froin one of the servants of the house, 'who, thiDl ing it was for the purpose of doing sometbing to the lady's 5arsi, lent it him nithout hesitation ; upnrxwhich he took it into Iis be room, in the yard, and very composedly placed his left hiaid up the foot of the bed, and with the axe in his riglbt hand clearly off!
