The Amertean Fisher!es House of [From the London Globe, April 22.) The Earl of Mataesnury rose (April 21 € In the English to ask a ques- tion regarding the relations between country and the United Stat on the subject of the Colonial fisher ies. The noble earl commenced by referring 6 the origin of the dispute between Ameri:an and Britistfeolonial fisher- men, and proceeded to state the course taken by the late government for the protection of the latter. Her Majesty’s present government were, of course, fully aware of the valuable nature of those fisheries, and the importance of the question would excuse the anxiety with which he would now press the noble lord (Clarendon) opposite, for in/ormation with respect to the further eafety and ‘pro- tection of privileges to precibus. He (Lord Malmesbury) was at this moment ignorant with regard to the position of the negotiations ; undif the noble lord could do #0 pilcut injury to the publie sriee, he would, perhaps, whether they were soon likely to be advanced to a con- clusion, The fishery season was commencing, and it was very desirable to know if it was the in‘eation of her Ma- jesty’s government to continue protection to those British | ficheries, especially the inshore fisheries, on the same un- derstanding and in the same manzer in which they had been protected by the Jate government ? The Earl of Ci.Arexpon—I have to inform the noble earl that her Majesty’s minister at Washington, in conformi- ty with instructions which he received from her Majesty's government, and in pursuance of the desice expressed by the President of the United States, entered into a discus- sion, at Warhington, for making arrangements to carry ito effect, upon a better footing, the commercial rela- tions between the United States and this country. Mc. Crampton proposed a project of @ convention, on which, however, rome difficulties arose, and some objections were made; but the whole proceedings were being coa- ducted in the most friendly spirit. When, however, the President, in his annual message to Co: dec! that in bis opinion the two subjects—that of the fisheries and the reciprocity of trade—had better be embodied in two separate conventions, Mr. Crampton conveyed to im reasons why he believed such a course would be objected to by her Majesty’s govorn- ment. The project was, nevertheless, tent home, and agreed to by her Majesty’s government, with some mo cifications ; und my noble friend (Lord John Busselly expressed to Mr. Crampton his earnest desire that {t might be concluded and thus be accepted as a proof that the two governments were determined to carry on their respective relations in the spirit of justice, accommoda- tion, and liberality. This was met in the same spirit by Mr. Everett. But some fresh objections and newdifficul ties that were entirely unforeseen, arose; these occasion- eda new reference to her Majesty’s government; and thus it beeame manifestly impo-sible to carry the matter further, with any hope of bringing it to a suceessful issue the United States were to remain in office The question must, therefore, be considered to be under negotiation; \d opposite would be the last a i call upon me, — aye circumstances, to speak further on the int. it! end pe T ith respect to: the after juestion aekod— reat the prercvctou OF See? have to state tha! precisely the same insiructions ‘hat were zent out last year, and for the same purpose, have ben sent out by her Mojesty’s present government, ‘The Larl of Dexey thought that the nuble earl bad made a statement which would be entirely satisfactory to their ‘ordships, the cou ntry, and the colonies. ‘The Irish Exodus, The Gol amy Fs 4 states that, owing to the continuous increase of Guigeation, there fs every reason to appre- hend that # sufficient number of laborers will not be found in the country to reap the ensuing haryest:— Tt is with the utmost diticulty that meh oan be obtained at advanced wages, and even jn’ the most thickly populated rnral districts, to carry out the. present agricultural opera tions.

The actual shipments of gold dust from San Fyancisco, by steamer, according to the manifests, in will assume that ove fourth more was taken away pri- yately by passengers leaving; this will give us an aggre gate value of about 11}; million pounds sterling. The en- tire population of the State, deduced from the eensus of 1250 and subsequent arrivals, is asrumed to be not less than 200,000, of whom but § 000 are females—a greater disproportion of the sexes than exists in any other coun try. Of the entire population about one-half are proba- bly engaged at the mines, although the Californian papers state only one hundred thousand are at the diggings. The gold found, divided among 150,900, would average about 771 per head. The shipments from the Australian ports in 1852, ot gold dust, were :—From Port Philip upwards of two million and a quarter ounces; from Sydney one million ounces. At Adelaide, Victoria, gold fo the value cf two millions sterling wae also re ceived in the year. So that the total gold may be fairly valued st £15,000,000 sterling. ‘This is irrespec'ive of any amounts brought away privately by passengors, of the of some large amounts shipged through Van Dieman's | Land. The population of the two colonies of New South Wales | and Vietoria is stated at abont 400,000. The number etgined digging gold in the former colony is set down at | less than 10.000; and in Victoria at 100,000, But we will arsume the-same number is engaged in gold seeking | as in California; the average to each person would there | fore be £87 per annum, or £10 per head more than in California. We bave been particularly careful to under: estimate the faetg with regard to Australia, from the want of official data, our eomputationa being derived from the actual shipments seyurted, and statcments given in the local papers. Put our impression (igrounced upon the estimates and information of well intormed local authori- ties.) is strong that the average yield per head, of the Austratian gold fields, to the population employed, has exceeded £100 for the year. OF course this sum has beea unequally divided; but the facts are pateat and en. | couraging.

Whether it will hold long enough for the bulls to realize to any extent is doubtful. It is our opinioa that the market cannot stand the withdrawal of any number of buyers, while there aie so many disposed to sell at any state of prices, These spasmodic starts in the fancies are by no mgans healthy. They denote an unusual con- sition of things locally, and it would not be safe to trust them on either extreme, At the first board to day, Mor- ria Canal went up % percent; Crystal Palace, 8; Nicara- gua Transit, !;, Cumberland Coal, 114; Parker Vein, 21; Phoenix, 135; Erie Railroad, 34; Harlemfiailroad, 34; Ro- chester avd Syracute Railroad, 34; Hudson River Rail- road, 4.

In the first place, the Camberland Com pany have no coal uf aquality fit to use; in the second place, it has not much of any quakty; and in the third place, it cannot get to market, with its presené facilities, i cnough of all qualities to pay the first fraction of a divi- + dend. to productiveness and prosperity, we will give him full | reredit for so doing. | The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of | this port to-day, amounted to $88,181 41; payments, $15,025—balance, $7,082,075 91.

At the mecting of stockholders held to day, at Jersey City, in re Jation to this matter, the report was unanimously adopt- ed, and the following resolutions passed: — Resolved, That tho directors of said company be re quested and they are, hereby directed to issue forthwith public proporals for éxtimates of the eost of filling in and docking out the property re“erred to, upon the basis of the statement accompanying the maps; and that said di reetors reprrt the offers of eaid proposals at an adjonrn- ed meeting of said stockholders, to be held at this place on the 26th day of May, 1853, at one o'clock.

With the rapidly increasing revenue from tolla, and the great value the improvements determined upon will give to the company’s property in Jersey City. it appears to us that Mor: ie Canal stock is actually worth now more than tever was. The gross amount of tolls during the pre- ent season of navigation will probably exceed $175,000. ‘The avnexed letter is another of the series we have pnblished lately from a gentleman engaged in investigat. ing the affairs of the eoal companies located in what is known ss the Cumberland coal region, The principal point presented is the fact, that jor the want of proper facilities, it is almost impossible to get coal from the we: ern distinct to market. The difficulty is not in the ab- sence of coal so much as in the limited means of trans- portation. We give extracts from the last letter re- ceived:— Commentary Coat Trapp—1853.
