VALUE OF THE FISHERIES IN THE GULF OF ST, LAWRENCE. ‘respecting the value and importance ol the | Fisheries of British North America, a large ‘quantity of matter was submitted to our ieeratiny, from which views were obtained lof the teeming wealth of what the hardy jand daring fishermen of the Maritime Pro- | vinevs, as well as those of Canada, claim as, j their patrumony,—by inheritance first, the | | title of it being afterwards secured by ther | by treaty, The papers referred to throw a | ielear light upen the use and abuse of these | fisheries by the United States fishermen, | which so nearly resulted in embroiling us in |war with that Republic. Some of these re- | curds extend over a considerable period,—and , bot afew of them have been jarchives of Nova Seotia, Prinee Kdward Is- jjand. and Newtoundland. We think it will not be amiss bere to wake a few excerpis from sume of those of more recent date ; furnishing as they doa cursory but graphic | | account ol the chiet fisheries in the Guif of St. Lawerence, and serving, we hope, as a hut inappropriate continuation of the remarks jin dust number eutitied ** Well-grounded | Complaints.”’ 1.—Fisnesies or Patxce Evwarp Isuanp. There is no partofthe Guif of St. Law rence where fish of all kinds are more abun- _dant than on the shores of Prince Edward Island; and yet it used t be that during the Ssumwer wunths a vessel might pass along tie Island without svemy twenty boats, until arriving off the Nurth Poot where a | fisery had latterly been established at Lig- nish ; this was a well chosen location, tor during the stormy periods boats could find shelter on either side of the peint. placed in the | During the month of Jaly, when the Mackeral etrike in, the United States fisher- men arrive w their fine schooners. The fish can only be taken close along the shore, so that befure the Reeiprocity Treaty, the fisbermen tu be successiul, bad to trespass within the ** three marine miles’? Jiumis. In doing so, each vessel had been in the babitof securing two, and sometimes three cargoes ;--and as from the iirst of August unul ebout the first or second week in October, 150 or wore olf the United States fishing cratts might be seen along the north shore of the Isiand, each carrying on an average 500 barrels of fiish, worth piobably $9 or $104 barrel.—the value of the mack- erel fishery of this simaliest, but by no means ubpimportant Maritime Province, can be eas- ily imagined. Supposing that 150 vessels fill up only once here in course of a season, —a very Suall estiwate indeed,—the value ‘of the catch to the foreign fishermen would be at least $750,000. The probability wouldrather be, bowever, that $1,500,000 is nearer the value of each season's catch, by the boats owoed in the United States. As the season adyances the fish becomes | ore plentiful, and finer.in’ quality. The epring wackerel are very poor, aud it would add immensely tu the valacol Beiush Aweri- ican fisheries, uf definite tines were Dxed for commencing to catch. The tesumony of a British Naval Off er who was commissioned to investigate and report upon the coudition of the Gulf Fisheries, after the troublous times of 1851 and 1852. was this: Referring to the mackerel fisheries of Prince Edward island, be eaid that at the spawning season the fish du not readily take bait: but the United States Fishermen had been in the babit of resorting to eeming and other means, by which in atew years the fish would have been exterminated. It is alleged to be a clearly established tact, that the mackerel fishery is not only valuable in itself, but that itindicates where plenty of cod may be found. What a wealth there is then in the fisheries !—W bat an in- centive toeuterprise! True it is, however, that, from position and sol Prine Edward Isiand may be designated the garden of the Maritime Provinces; her people have there- tore been mure disposed to engage in agrical- tural pursults,—to the neglect of what, to them, would undoultediy be far more pro- fituble, viz., the developement of their splen- did fiisheries. A subsequent article in which some notice will be taken of fishing operations at Bay Ciraleur and other places, will furnish adui- tional evidence of how weel the allowing vi United Scrves fishermen tu participate in the fisheries has been to the detriment of these our “mines of ocean wealth 7°’ and the Pro- vincial Governwent will be simply periorm- ing an act of justice on beball of the people of the Provinces, tt they discontinue the licen- sing system, ond prepare for any emery ney that may urise in Consequence ol ther pro- tecting the fisheries by diiving off inruders, ——-+-- _*4d@Prr - From the Intercolonai Journal of Commerce. : WHY NOT.

There can be as little doubt, that if these provinces were annexed to the United | States, the financial difficulty would speedily disappear, and that a railway right throagh ihe beart of New Brunswick would be eon- structed within a twelve-month. So small a matter would not be a stambling-block in the way of the Federal Government and the American people; and that itshould remain, as it seems ty du at present, a stumbling bluck in the way of the British American, or vt the Imperial Parliament, we cannot bring ourselves to believe. The country offers ne engineering obstructions. The only impedi- ment ever hinted at is the snow ; but as the suows of New Enyland are quite as severe and deep, and lie as long on the ground as the snows of New Brunswick, and as New England is intersected by railways, and by the Grand Trunk among the number, none of which have been unprofitable or enworkable on accvunt of an occasional snowdrift, there appears to be no reason for refusing to make a railway through New Branswick on this account, or for imagining that, if it were cons'ructed, the cost of clearmg the snow from the tracks, wherever necessary, would make so serious an inroad upon the income of the shareholders as to deprive them of @ dividend. The five millions of dollars that some of the Canadians are willing to spend upon the, to Canada, utterly useless acqui- sition of the Hudson Bay Company's terrt- tory, would, if expended on the Halifax and Riviere du Loup Railway, go far towards making the line, and be a greatly more re- wunerative investment of Canadian capital. it was understood that Earl Russel’s Govern- jment did not favour the idea of aiding the construction of the line by an Imperial loan wa guarantee; but it is possible and pro- bable, that for so great a military and polt- tical purpose as the line would serve, the Administration of the Earl of Derby will see reason to carry out, under the Earl of Car- It was said of the late Sir Robert Peel, | narvon, the views of Sir Bulwer Lyttom in as it has also been said of his favourite dis- | this respect, and aid as well as faveur the ple, Mr, Gladstone, that in making any veonstraction of the railway, a8 a physical statement of the difficulties of a case, be al- | bond of union between the cvlunies, withous ways 8aw three courses which it was possible | which ther merely political anion would be to pursue.
