HIGHLY IMPORTANT STATE PAPER. The Difficulties between the American and British Fishermen. THE GEORGIA UNION CONVENTION. &o., &o., &o. The Difficulties Between the American aad British Fishermen, orriora,. Drrartment or Srater, Wasiiwarox, July 6, 1862. Information of an official character has been received at this Department to the following effect:— The late Ministry of England was opposed to the grant- ing of bounties on principle, and in couequence, it steadily refused to give the necessary assent to the acts of the colonial Legislature granting bounties to the ffihe- ries The colenies complained severally of this interfe- rence with their local affairs. and they further complain that the government declined to enforce the provisions 0 the Fishery Convention of 1918, and thereby permitted American fishermen to encroach upon tho best fishing grounds, from which, under the legal construction of the treaty, they ought to be excluded. With the recent change of ministry in England has occurred an entire change of policy. The present Sec- retary of State for the Colonies, Sir John Packington, has addressed a circular letter to the Governors of the seve ral North American Colonies, an extract from which is a follows:— Downine Street, May 26, 1852 Rreasing, subjects which have engaxe! ajesty's ministers, since thoir avsa np een more important, in their ostt- fons relating to the protection ao- licited for the fisheries of tne coasts of British North Amo- rioa. Her Majesty's government hava taken into their #eri- ons consideration the presentations upon this subject, eon- tained in your despatebes. noted in margin, and have not failed to Jbserve that, whilst active monsres have becn taken by certain Colonies, for the purpoxe of enconratiag their fitherios and repelling tho intru-ion of toreign vossels, it has been a subject of complaint that impediments should have been offered by the policy of the imporial goveranont to the enactment of bountios, considered by the local lors latures exsential tor the protection of this trade. Her Ma. Jesty’s ministers aro desirous of removing all grounds of complaint on the Frrt_of the Coloning. in consequence of encouragement of the fishing vessels of the Tnited States upon waters from which they are excluded Lv the terms of the convention of 181°; and they therefore intend to dospatch. assoon as possible, a small naval force of steamers. or othor versels, to enforce the observance of that convention, This announcement is accompanied by the following, a6 to bounties :— ‘With regard to the question of promoting the fisheries of the British Colonios, by the means of boantios, Her Ma, ‘8 government, thoueh desirous to sanction aay unnecessary eviation from the policy which regulates the commerce of this gountry, are still disinclined to prevent these colonies, by interposition of imp: rial authority, and especially pond= ing tho negotiation with the United States of america, for the settlement of the principles of which the commerce of the British North Ameri:an Colonies is hereafter to be car ried on. from sary eae we policy which thay may deem most Conducive to their own prosperity and welfare, Meantime, and within the last ten days, an American fishing veseel called the Coral, belonging to Machias, in Maine, has been seized in tho Bay of Fundy near Grand Menan, by the officer oommanding her Majesty's cutter Netley, already arrived in that bay, for an infraction of the fishing convention. and the fishing vessel has been carried to the port of St. John, N. B., where pro- ceedings have beon taken in the Admiralty Court, with aview to her condemnation and absolute forfeiture. Besides the small naval force to be sent out by the Impe- rial government, the colonies are bestirring themselves also for the protection of {their fisheries, Canada has fitted out an armed vessel, to be stationed in the Guif, and this vessel has proceeded to the fishing grounds, having on board, not only # naval commander and crew, with power te seize vessels within limits, but also 8 stipendiary magistrate an‘ civil police, to make prisoners of all who are found trangressing th laws of Unnade, im onder to their being com mitted to jail in that colony for trial The colony of Newfoundland had fitted out an armed vessel, for the purpose of resisting the encroachments of French fishing vessels on the coast of Labrador, but, when ready to sail from her port, the Gover- nor ofthat colony acting under imperial instructions, re- fured to give the commander of the colonial vessel the necessary authority for making prize of Fronch vessels found trespsssing. ‘Thisis an extraordinary circumstance. especially when taken in connection with the fact that the like authority to seize American fishing vessels uader similar circumstances, has never been refused to the cruisers of any of the North American Colonies. The colony of Nova Scotia has now four armed cruisers, well manned, on its coasts, ready to pounce upon any American vessels who may, accidentally or otberwise, be ound tithing within the limits detlu:d by the crown officers of England, Bruoswick has agreed with Canada and Nova Scotia to place a cuter in the Bay of Fundy, to look after Americans fishing there and at Prince Ldward Liand. aud her Majesty's steam frigate Devastation has been placed under the instruc. tions of the Governor of that colony. Uhe first article of the convention between the United states and Great Bri- tain. of the 20th October, 1818, is in these words:— “Whereas, differences sen respecting the liberty claimed by the United States fur the in € take. dry. and cure fish on certain coasts bays hach creeks of Wis Britannic Majesty's dowiuions in Amori ig agreed between the high cortracting parti the fobabitaxts of the said United States sh rever.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wastinaron, July 18, 1852. Aclerk of the House volunteers, in to-day's Union, exculpation of Speaker Boyd from the charge of having delayed announcing the yote on the Coll.ns amendment: He says the delay nrose at the clerk's desk. and that the instant the Speaker was handed the count he announced it, The clork, however. in his zeal for Mr. Boyd goos too far.and in the succeeding paragraph declares, if the Speaker bad been disposed to defeat the amenament he might have done so by a hasty announcement, The last part of the clerk’s letter contradicts the firs, and fully corroborates my statements as to the delay, If it arose at the clerk's desk, it isequally biameable. The Speaker held a picce of paper im his hand for some time before an- pouncing the vote. If this piece of paper was not the count, how was it inthe Spoaker's power to make the hasty announcement, which the clerk declares he could have made, if he had seen proper, when, in the same breath, it is stated the Speaker made the announcement the very instant he was handed the count. The contra- diction is a manifest absurdity, X. ¥. Z. FUNERAL OF GENERAL JONES—ARREST OF THIEVES AND RECOVERY OF PROPERTY. PROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. Wanutnatos, July 18, 1852.

H., July 16, 1852. Description of the City of Franklin Pierce—Traits of hde Character—Who First Nominated Him for the Presidenoy? It may not be uninteresting to your readers to give some description of the capital of New Hampshire. Concor@ ie not the largest city in the State—its population fs not equal to that of Portemouth or Manchester; but i derives some importance from the fact of its being the capital, and the residence of the probable future Proai- deposeth | dent of the United States. The number of inhabitants is about 8.000. Its situation » very beautiful. It ie laved by the Merrimack, which. with an abundance of fine trees, gives a charmn tothe scene, which would other- wise be tame and uninteresting, as the land here is nob of an undulating, but rather flat character—the moum- tains being at a considerable distance. The divorsition- tions. however, of wood and water. make up for the want of bills and valleys. Concord has all the appearance of a rustic village. The streets are wide and well laid end shaded with trees. It reminds very much Harrisburg, the capital of Peunsylva The seonory The railroad is on the bank of the Merrimnek for the entire way, and everywhere you turn your eye, it is met by unmis- tokable evidences that you are in the Granite State. The rocks on every side, avd the pliinest walls and. buildings. are all of thiv formation, which nature has lnvisbed here in profusion but which is so searce im other localities, and +o valuable for arvhitectural pur- pores At this season of the year the effect is beautital, the white forming a happy contrast. to the surrounding green. The State House in Concord ts built of this mae terfl, and is a plain, simple building, in keeping with the character of the citizens, ‘The people of New Hampshire are @ bicbly moral race. and possess in a high degees the sterling qualities of their Pilgrim ancestors, while the progress of ¢ has divested them toa grea extent, of the straight-laced bigotry which. in other times, wae Fegarded a® the summit of Christian perfection. The Maine law was defeatea bere; but is will be bronght foe ward ogain, in the extra session of t Legislature, thie winter and may perhaps break up the democratic party. It will not, however, affect the Presidential question. as the Legislature does not meet till after that is decided. Every fourth year there is an extra session For the last few years—or since bis returnfrom Mexico Gen. Pierce had retired from puiitics and devoted him-elf to his profession, in which he has been very successful; and this very retirement. and this evident aversion to offiee recking, was perhaps one cause of his getting the vomi- nation. Prestdent Polk offered him various high offices, which he refured. and. a6 he solemply assured me. no consideration on earth would have induced him to become acandidate beforehand. for the Presidency and go through: all the maccuvres that are wnully deemed vecessary for ruccess. Though be was nominated by hivown State, in Janunry last, (which he declined ) he charged the delo- gation, on no account whatever. to mention his name im connexion with the Presidency ; and the only discretion on the matter he would finally consent to givethem was, that. as a last resort, and to prevent the cénvention breaking up in a row. and causing the defeut of the demo cratic party. they might in that event use bis name if it would promote union and harmony, My decided conviction is. that even now. if he should be beaten by Scott, it would not give him the +lightest un ness, except on account of his party and friends, The Henarp acks the question—* Who iirst nominated General Fierce?” I will telt you who General Pieroe says firs: nominated bim: The New Yor« Hrearo iself, which, +o ently as January last. mentioned his name im connrxion with the Presidency. and thus gave the fnitia- tive and set people & thinking He bad not then the remotest ideaot it. and never gave it # thought till he was actually nominated.
