Tho French porta which send out \ 'CI· eels to tho colony n.ro Diepv.e, St.Vt~lery· en·Cnux, Focamp, Granvllle, 'C4nCAle, St. Malo, Tregmet, and Binic. The French fishing flee~ it seems, has buen decJensing for some time, and for the twelvemonth included in these returns • (1800-1891) decreased from 169 to 153, while tho quantity of cod taken had declined from 21,389 to 21,080 tons. 'fhe number of vcaseJa employed by the French in tho Newfoundlnnd noel Dog· ger Bn¥ fisheries,is, it further nppenrs, 212, of between 100 nnd 150 tons burden, mnnnrd. by 3,4~ men. Tho vnluo of tho codfish taken was put down nt .£209,· 600, in addition to a considerable qunn· tity of herring, mnckerel, anchovies, and sprats.

It nlso nppenrs from too Report thnt the ht>rring-bonta. in which 61 boata from Boulogn't>, 22 from F eCArup, nnd four from St. V•Llcry-en·Ct\ux, of a totnl Lurclen of 6,582 tons, and with 1,660 mt'n on boRrd, wore en$tnged1 cnnght i2,H79 tons of tish, valued nt .£394,800, while nl>out £50,000 worth of mackerel intended for sn.lting wns t1Lken oil' tho coast of Iceland, while nenrly 8,000 tons of mackerel intended for immedi· ate consumption were caught oil' the French COAst. The quantity or sardines CAught off the COMt of Britt4nl. WllS very large, being given at 788 mtllions, sold nt an nvernge rate of nbout 6a. 6d. per thousand. The tunny-liah is nlso CAught in large numbers off tho coast between Lorient and BordeRux, na well na in tho MediternmCl\n1 the fisberi<'s of which did not yield qmte so good n re­turn 1\8 they had done tho ye1Lr before, while the value of fish taken otr ths CorsiCl\n consUl Is put nt little over.£ l ,· 0001 na none 01 it is sent acrou to the mntnlnnd.

-WORTH\" oF Ex.utPLE.-Eiscwhere nppenns anot)ler newsy letter from our London Correspondent G. A. This, treating na it does of a variety of inter· eating topics, cannot fail to be perused whh plenaure. It will be notir.ed thA.t aUuston is made,nrpong o~ber thin~1 to the sig,nitiCl\nt fact that the enterpr1s1ng little coiony of New Zealand is at pre­sent nttrncting much nttention in Grent.

Like tondc flower thnt, nipped by froet, Lice low t" heighL of bloom ;

Whn.'IO gent 0 ('"'\tCnl stricken finll, Aml mou n its cnrh· doom.

So thou, n tendcrt'r, J~vclier~ower, H nst faded in n d:iy ;

In llll thy chn.rma of form a.ncl youth, · A CAptive to decay.

" 0 Death, relentleaa, terrible, Couldst thou not aparo this flower,

So lovely, loved, so lately brought To her betrothed's bower ?

Thon'st left tho. old, tho aorrowful, Whose eyes nre w•~xing dim,

Whose cup of lifo is filled with gall, Whose yenr.t nre at their brim.

The tcn1lrils of whose earthly Jove Hnvo loosed with ml\ny n blow.

They would hl\\•u thanked thee, reaper dreAd,
