Star-The subject of the British Fisheries in the Gulfof St. Lawrence, and indeed in all the Anglo-American Waters, is far too important to be hastily passed over. I trust that the attention of the public will yet be drawn tc'this inex- haustible branch ofindustry, and that the time will arrive when protection to real British interests will be afforded by ‘ the Imperial Government. Iaccuse both Whigs and Tories alike of neglect—neglect caused ‘ by ignorance of facts which it was their bounden duty to have known, and which is therefore inexcusable in any Colonial Cabinet. In Mr. Macgregor’s able work on British North America, they will find abundant proofof the value ofthese fisheries; and in the eagerness with which every possible advantage has been pushed, and every impudent encroachment effected and per- sisted in by our neighbours, they will find evidcnl'e that this disgraceful want of'iuformatiou does not extend to the an— nistereof our rivals. ‘ . It will be within the knowledge ofevery one acquainted with the shores of Prince Edward Island, and-I know you have many readers to whom they are well known, to whom I appeal for confirmation ofthe~fact, that it is not an uncommon occurrence to see from 70 to 150 American vessels, each ofabout 30 or 40 tons burthen, pursuing their employment in the bays, and along the coast of that Colony,—-many of them within the prohibited distance,—many of them with contraband goods on board, which they neglect no opportu— nity ofruuning ashore; and instances are not wanting of their beating of our own fishermen by superior numbers, al- most within hail ofour own ports. 1 will here borrow the Words of Col. Boucliette on this subject; and, in his view of it, every one possessing the least information on the mari- time interests of these Colonies must concur :—“ Thus stand the rights and privileges ofthe United States, with regard to the Newfoundland and Labrador fisheries, and it is evident that with the exception of the mere ownership ofthe adja- cent countries, the Americans are, as fully as Great Britain, farticipators in the direct and incidental advantages attach- ,éyfieto those fisheries, viz., the prosecution of a lucrative trade, , the practical education of mariners. Possessed as Eng- land was of the surrounding fishing coasts, it was in her ower to secure to herself the exclusive enjoyment ofthose immense aquatic sources of wealth and power, since the {more privilege of fishing on the banks, which might with- out injury to herself have been tolerated in foreigners, would havebeen oflittle avail without the right of using the shores ofthe adjacent territories and islands; and ifit be asserted that, in the nature ofthings, the one privilege could not be granted without the other, since the one is necessary to the enjoyment ofthe other, still we may say, that had the restrictions been far more circumscribed than they are, Bri- tish subjects would not be aggravated to the extent they , now are by the _abusc ofthe privilege by American fisher- ,9- 'men, who, relying upon the latitude allowad them, are em— ’ i ' “ boldened to acts ofoutrage against the more legitimate ten- ” stats of the slicres, and assert a superiority which should The exercise , ighte ofthe nations concerned in the Newfoundland ’ viz., England, France, and America, calls loudly for , Watkins, and we can only say, that such a mea— . jot, tel importance to the preservation and future va- ttthe fisheries.” ‘ 2 true that these remarks apply to the‘fisheries of New- ndland and Labrador, but theyare equally true of those of the whole Gulf. To Prince Edward Island they apply with redoublcd force, because that island being a rising ag- jiculturul Colony, and daily increasing in population and in 'trade, affords greater opportunitics‘i'or the smuggler, and greater opportunity for insult and aggression on the British subject. While due protection is not afforded to the British fisherman, it is in vain to hope for the exercise of that clitor- prising spirit which alone induces individuals to enter into a pursuit requiring the most unremitting perseverance and industry; and it is hoped that the attention of the Colonial Minister will be at length called to this important subject. 0f late‘yenrs, but only of late, a small cruizer has been. sta- tioned in,the Gulf; and some few of the Americans who have 9‘: .. ,presumed a little too much on our forbearance have had their cargoes thrown overboard. This may perhaps induce them to conduct themselves with more propriety; and in such case. we shall no longer be reproached with behaving like a -‘ the dog in the manger, neither fishing ourselves nor allowing them to do so. It is to the developing this iiiexliattstible source of wealth, hitherto allowed to lie dormant for want ofcapitnl, that the British American Association, in their Prince Edward Island ,Branch, have, directed their attention. In pursuing it, they hope to afford to the hardy but starving Hebridcaus the means of comfortable subsistence, but to effect this desirable object, proper preparatory measures must be taken. It will not. be expedient to send out mere puupei‘s, unaccustomed to tillage, and unskilled in agriculture, expecting them to be at once transformed into farmers and husbandmen ; nor can much he hoped for by planting on the coast a band of'un- taught and perhaps somewhat prejudiced islanders, who re- . quire guidance and instruction. Either of these plans would lead only to disappointment to the promoters ofthe measure, and distress to the objects intended to be benefited, and these plans, therefore, the Commissioners carefully avoid. They begin With sending to their settlements a few trustv men, possessed of some little capital, who may prepare four the_reception ofthe others, whowill be able to judge ofthe agricultural capabilities ofthe soil, and from whose report other settlers, ofa similar description, and competent to bring them into effectual action, may be induced to lend their aid. :Ilius the way will be paved for the introduction and establishment-oft). fishery, which, in its turn, will contribute to the prosperity of the agricultural interest, by affordina all that the island requires to call out its natural fen-tilityiaii abundant market for its produce. It has been well styled “the granary ofBritish America,” and it will not yield in . ~- finality or quantity of'its produce to the most favoured tract extensive portion of our Colonial empire. Its nume- s. V _ arbours afford ample facilities for an extensive trade and its posmou at the entrance ofthat great inland sea the, j Gplfof St. Lawrence, enables it to hold a ready intei'cburse ,wuh the various coasts by which it is surrounded. To de- velop these resources, and to call forth the dormant capabi- lities ofso fine a Colony—to aid, not to compete with, pri- vate enterprise—to assistjudiciously the colonist of moderate “means, and ultimately to afford employment to a large por- tion of our distressed population, the Association propose as the objects of their efforts. They propose to do this, not by the mere deportation of'a poor man, without the means of his location or settlement, which, however desirable to the parish on. whom he is dependent, or the landlord to whose estate be_is a burthen, would be but a verv questionable be- nefit to hinieelf; and to have any percepiible effect on the mass of pauperism now inundating the land, it must be car- ried on pn 8 Scale that would exhaust the resources even of the national treasury. They are, however, diligently and carefully preparing to carry out their plans, undathey hope fbr the hearty and eflicieut aid ofthe public press in so bene- ficial a work.

I (Frafif'the London Times.) Tun ceremony of the consecration of the five colonial bishops who are about to proceed to their respective dio- ceses, took place yesterday, (Wednesday,) in Westminster. Abbey. Since this venerable pile has been dedicated to divine worship under the auspices ofthe Reformation, n0 occasion has been presented in which the Protestant Church has'had such reason to rejoice. It is true that an equal number of bishops has been estimated since the Reforma- tion, in some ofthe cathedrals of England, at the same time, but then they have been consecrated to fill. up vacancies iii— curred by death or resignation, or translation, and not to fill up bishoprics created at the time. But, on the present occaSion, the censeci-aiion ofthe five bishops has led to the extension ofthe episcopal church of England by the addition offour new sees to its constituency,(the diocese of Barbadoes being divided into three sees, and two new sees being created,) viz., the sees of Antigua, Guiana, Gibraltai-,'and Tasmania (Van 'I)iemen’s-laud ;) the see of Barbudoes, in its present state, being the fifth see. The consecration was conducted with all the solemnity which was requisite. The public were admitted to the cathedral by cards, and the choir was set apart for the clergy, who attended ingrcat numbers. In consequence of the indisposition of his .Grace the Arch— bishop of'Canterbury, the consecration of the five colonial prelotes was by commission entrusted to the Bishops of Lon- don, lVincbester, and Rochester, by whom the ceremony was performed. The service was commenced by the morn- ing prayer for the day, according to the rubric. The pray- ers were chanted by the Rev. Mr. Lupton. The lessons were read by the Rev. Mr. Waters, and the litany and communion service by the Bishop of London. The sermon was preached by Dr. Coleridge, the late Bishop of Barbudces, who chose for his text the very appropriate fifth and Sixth verses ofthe 43d chapter of Isaiah :— “Fear not, I am with thee, I will bring thy seed from the east, and gatherthee from the west. “1 will say to the north, give up, and to the south, keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends ofthe earth.” , ' After the sermon, the ceremony ofthe consc ration Was performed, the bishops being.r presented by the Bishop of Chichcster and the late Bishop of Barbndoes in the follow- ing order :— Dr. PARRY, Bishop of Barbadoes. Dr. ToruiJNsoN, Bishop of Gibraltar. Dr. NIXON, Bishop ofVau Dicinan’s Laud. ' Dr. DAVIS, Bishop of Antigua. Dr. AUSTIN, Bishop of Guiana. \ The ceremony having been concluded,the sacramenq'us udiniuistercd to a great number of" the communicaiits, be contributions at the offcrtory amounting: to £113. ' Turle presided at the organ. The introductory volutiol‘y was from the overture to Esther, the voluntary after‘ the sermon li'oni Sphor, and the concluding voluntary from Haydn. The Te Deum Jubilalc from Nares, and the Veni Creator, Attwocd. Nothing could surpass the devotional and dignified cff2ct of this very sacred ceremony, and it is a matter of congratulation, to the Church of England par- ticularly, and to the whole Christian community generally, that so eflicicnt a step has been made for the propagation of the faith in which all who profess and call themselves Chris- tians repose their hopes ofsalvation and happiness. Tm: WOMEN or THE INSURRECTION. One ofthe most hideous features ofthe present insurgen- tion among the working classes, is the turn-out of women! Many thousands ofwomen, mothers of families, have travel- led fi'om Lancashire into Yorkshire during the past week, urging on the men, and supporting them in the daring work they have undertaken to do. Can any one measure the vast ticity of which, howaver, neither our informant nor 0:15:33; are inclined to vouch. It issaid that on the 25th at“; gilvel; day of the Emperor of Russia’s marriage, calle 1:11: :ilver wedding, the grandees united to present biin wt . .e the chair. On the Emperor entering the room to icceiryt ‘it congratulations of'his assembled court, he proceede d pee"- on the chair, when cou’nt Beckcndorf stopped hunttanAmg 3f. god that he would. not Sit on it, as he find pies,en I'lidlb' {In misfortune if he did so. But on.tbe Einpeim s n Ifilplg this phantasy, and proceeding again to Sit there, count _cc (- endorf' drew his sword, thereby suddenly arresting his so vereign’s steps. Before the Emperor could recover hit: as- tonishmcnt, his minister was on his knees helmeliiin: “Pardon me, Sire, your Majesty’s safety impelled me . ‘ was. doing my duty; let the chair be‘cxuuiined. It was 3), upon which it was discovered that it contained two swm s, with mechanism so contrived, that they would have sprung out on each side ofthe chair, striking into the person sitting. on it. \Vliethci' the above be true or not, history tells us of the uncertain tenure by which a sovereign of Russm holds his life and throne, while there must be a suffictcntly deep discontent and fcrincut in that society in respect to which such rumours reach us from time to time—.Morrung Herald. New BALLO0N.—-La Prcssc states, that M. Leiubargcr, an ingenious mechanic ofNuremberg, is about to construct a balloon ofinctal, which he expects to guide as he pleases. For this purpose a subscription has been raised giffictent to cover the expenses of'such a machine. This steatiidmlloou, which is in progress of'construction, may contain from three to fiftv persons, with provisions for fifteenflays. chry pre— cautidnllias been taken to prevent the possibility ofacculents from fire, explosion, or want of gas, and even should the balloon fidl into the sea, its construction is such that it may continue to‘procecd through the water as rapidly as a steam boat. As an ordinary balloon can traverse 500 miles in twenty-four hours, the rapidity of‘asteam-bnlloon, whose wheel, similar to an Archimedes screw, Will describe, at each rotation, a space ofscven yards, must be consulerably great- er. Several skilth engineers, who examined this machine, have no doubt ofthe possibility of completing this new mode oftransport, which, hereafter, will render useless high roads and railroads. The only difficulty will be where to place the custmn-houscs. Tiis PACHA or EGYPT.--‘“VB remiin a letter from Alex- andria, July 22nd, published by the Augsburg Gazelle—“The Pacha has just authorised Captain l‘iuglcdric, not only to re— pair the road between this place and Suez, but also‘to realise the project of'a Steam Navigation Company for the tranSit trade. He is to build at Suez, at the cost of the Pacha, a large hotel for the accommodation of travellers, and ware- houses for the reception of goods. The Pacha proposes also to establish a steam—boat cmninunication between Alexan- dria and Constantinople.” The same letter status that Slll('e the arrival ofthe English bishop at Jerusalem several Jews have embraced the [protestant religion. SYRlA.—A private letter from Beyrout ofthe 24th ult., mentions that the Britisanice-Cousul at Tarsus, Mr. Chip- perton, had been ill-treated by some Spahis, but that im- mediate .satisfizciion for the offence had been afforded by the Governor. The British pro-consul in Jerusalem had quar- rclled with th ' nthoritie's, and the works of the Protestant church had been consequently suspended. Bishop Alex- amount ofsuffering which has been necessary thus to invert ,ander was confined to his lied from fever. all the laws of nature, and to draw woman forth from her home, which is her true sphere, into the hustle, turmoil, rioting, sabroing, and shooting, of this fi‘ightfiil insurrec'fion? From the commencement ofthe strike, the women have mixed in all its excitement, and taken part in all its dangers. Thousands .were‘to be observed on‘Skircoates bloorlpear Halifax, on Tuesday, many of'them fifty miles from it Zine, as determined in their strike as many of their male gim- panions. They urged the inen to retaliation, raising'thc howl of'indignation against th’eir “ oppressofs” and “ tyrants.” Is not the entire scene calculated “forcibly to remind'usof the early events of the French Revolution," which inutlie striking language of Burke, arose “ maid the fierce cries-taint violence of'womcn!” M Manned ' Picture the scenes on Halifax—heath-fi lleieneampthc , about fifteen thousand peoplebn the purplehemlflsrzathe'wov men collected together in groups, singing’Cbatfistlmg’s, and stirring up the men to rescue the prisonci's‘whicht’had been made! These women also ente‘red Halifax, alumst at the head ofthe mob. When they reached the North-Bridge, where the military were drawn up to oppose t ir progress, numbers of woman sprang forward and, seized the horses’ bridlcs to turn them aside, exclaiining to the soldiers, “V You wouldn’t h at women, would you P” On one ofthe infantry presenting his bayonet at a woman’s heart, she put it aside, saying, “No, no, we want not bayonets but bread!” words which furnish a key to the entire movement ofthe Working classes. The “rebellion, from beginning to end, is one of the belly.” It is only those who are, or have long been, in want of bread, who have joined it. There is no wealthy person among the turn-outs—no middle-class man or shop- keeper, and exceedineg few of the better paid class of ope- ratives. They are all ofthem ofthe Worst paid class, wretch- edly poor, and reduced by long-continued starvation to a state bordering almost on the condition of'savage life. There is no bread in the homes ofthe Lancashire mothers, hence are they driven out like famishcd liycnas in search of food for themselves and their ofl'spring. ’ ' \Ve observe that the some feature characterises the strike in every part ofthe country. In the Staffordshire Potteries, the women cheer on the men, hoot at the soldiers and the magistrates, and take part in all the riots and assemblages. Can any one predict the end of these things? Remember, the class to which these women belong, constitutes the nu.- tt'on: the children which they rear man our fleets, and sup— ply our armies. It is the women who train. and rear them, who instil into them their opinions, principles, and feelings, be they right or be the wrong. What may he the issue of the present state ofthings, ifnot promptly remedied? Why, that in a few years the entire working population of the country, soldiers and sailors included, will be trained into deadly hatred ofthe government, the authorities, the upper classes, and the entire institutions ofthe state! Surely, these considerations ought to be sufficient to in- duce all classes to combine heartily for an amelioration of the bitter grievances of which the working classes have so long coinplained.—-—-Leeds Times. KING or Psussu’s PRESENT TO THE PRINCE or VVALES. —’I‘he object ofart which excites the greatest interest at Berlin at present, and which will, we might almost venture to say, be, when it is completed, the master-piece of modern times in its style, is the present which the King of Prussia sends to the Prince of Wales, as a godfather’s gift. The gift is a shield, whose materials are gold and gems, with every possible resource of'ornument which the art ofthe goldsmith offers. Stiller is the artist, and his graceful inventions for ornaments exceed those ofSchinkcl. The gold and gems, however, are secondary to the beautiful designs ofthe shield, which are by Cornelius, being the first important work he has executed in Berlin. Its form is circular, and the subjects chiefly religious, containing the principal mysteries of" the Christian religion ; it might be called “ The Shield ofFuith.” In the middle is a cross, and in the middle of the cross, be- ing also that of the shield, is represented on a medallion the Saviour, a half figure; at the extremity cfeach arm of the cross are four medallions representing the four Evangelists - and in the space between, three Christian graces, Faith, Hope, and Charity; and to these are added Justice, the peculiaiz glory of which is to be a ruler. The two Protestant doc- trines are represented, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper; each is a great picture as regards the style and beauty ofthe in- vention. Our limits only permit us to add, the inner circle of the shield represents some event of our Saviour’s life- and the last religious design is the descent ofthe Holy Spiril on the_disciples, and their commission to preach the word. By this we are cquuctfid. from past to present time- and the rest ofthe composition regards the baptism ofthe ybuug Prince and the circumstances connected with it.

ROYAL TOLsnATioN.—A very pleasing example of'royal toleration, reflecting infinite credit on the sound judgment and kind heart ofEnglaud’s beloved Queen, was exhibited lately, and, as related at the methodist lcaders’ meeting at Louth last Monday night, was to this effect :—A young fe- male domestic of the royal household, being recently met by the physician, was asked what was the matter with her, as it struck him from her appearance she must be labouring under a worse than bodily grievance—some mental anguish had rendered her aspect very different from what it usually was. The female replied, she was sorry to say she had been dismissed from her Majesty’s service. On being pressed for the reason, she. stated it to be on account of her religion ; she had ventured to unite herself With the Methodists, which had offended her superior, and led to her dismissal. The circumstance coming to her Majesty’s knowledge, the supe- rior servant was questioned on the subject, and admitted that she had turned away the female because she was a Me- thodist. The Queen expressed her sorrow that the lady lll- terrogated should have been led to take so austere a step With regard to her inferior; adding, “ It would pain her ex- ceedingly were any class of her subjects to suffer on ac- count of'their religion: more particularly if such should be the case in her own household. Ifeither party was dismis- sed, licr Majesty thought it should be the person who could act so illibcrally to one who so honorably followed out the dictates ofan enlightened conscience; she must inform that person that she had no further occasion for her services.” The first discarded female was restored—Stamford Mercury. DEATH or THE HEAVIEST MAN IN Humane—Died, on the 17th inst.,\after ashort illness, Mr. Henry Floyd, of Rom- sey, bricklayer, aged 49. Deceased was well known for his having within the last few years attained such an enormous bulk as to become an object ofcuriosity and astonishment. Although his weight exceeded 3'2 stone of 15Ibs., he rode about in his cart with apparent ease, attended to his busi- ness, and was a constant attendant at church (where a new pew. had been made on purpose forliim) until within aweek of his death. He was a shrewd and intelligent man, good natured, and was much respected. The corpse was remo- ved from his’house on Friday last, a large opening having been made in the wall below the bed-room window so as to let the coffin, which was ofun immense size, slide down seine planks with ropes ; it was then conveyed to the grave 0", 3 "Wk, drawn by a number of men, followed by his fa- “my and friends; and it is supposed there were at least 2,000 pet‘sotls at the funeral.
