Then all rincipal fishery is Salivaturia, in the miles bay of Condatchy, about 10 north of Colombo, When your o 1861, thore had not been any fishing for soveral years, the oyaters havi suddenly disappeared some time p vious, had about matured, which, it was de cided, should be fished the following year. Horelet me remark that this disappearanco of the pearl mollusk, and its total absence from the banks sometimes for yoars-—in a matured state, s unfortunately mno un common occurrence, though the | cause s sometimes A mys terp which many people ex plain in many weys, each having his own pet theory. Some think that skates and water snakes, which abound on the banks, deatroy them; others say that abnormal currents in somo yours aweep down upon the banks, bringing from Manaar and Tanneben, which are just above, muddy deposits which poison the water, rendering it uninhabitable for the delicate oyster; but my lamented friend, the late Captain James Wors- ley, some timo inspector for Ceylon and Tuticoran pearl ban! was of the opinion that the most mischief was caused by fishermen, who were in the habit of illegally drawing long heavy nets across the banks at night, for the sake of the abundanceof fish obtainable, and for plundering pesrls. This practice, he averred, was 8o common, notwithstauding tho banks were supposed to be guarded, and was so sure to disturb aud detach the Gysters from their moorings — for they adhero to the rocks by a delicato pre- hensile igament, that, to use his own words, ‘‘no wonder the bivalves wero sweopt away and destroyed.” Tt is probable, however, that they disap- pear from a combination of the foro- going causes, with perhaps another not yet discovered. The pearl mollusk of Ceylon, of which there are several varieties, “notably the leaf oyster and beetel oyster, has a similar hingo to the mother of pearl oyster, but is not half the size of tho latter, and owing to thinness and want of quality in the lining of the shells, they have littlo commercial value. The pearls, how- ever, are unsurpassable for shapo and oolor, and always comminl a high price. The spawn flats about in co- agulated masses itself to rocks, an- chors, buoys or any other object suit- able to cling to, and if left undis- turbed, will frequently develop and maturo all along the west const of the asland, and affixes in these old locali- ties, I have ofton secn tho oystors at Colombo on old anchors lately recov- cred after years of immersion, and on buoys set to mark fhe dangers to navi- gation, THE EXCITEMENT AT TIE FISUERY, Thero is still much dispute about the time of their maturity, but I think they produce small marketable pearls at four years, quite largo ones at five uring. and dying at six years a‘* 0 h‘g"lknlI Te gener- ally inspected once a year, in Novem- ber, and when the oxamination indi- cates that the oysters contains sufli- ciently large pearls to pay for fishin, notice is published in the Ceylon nnfi Indian nowspapers that a fishing wi be allowed the next year; generally in March; ray from the first of March to the end of April, fifty or sixty days, which was about the period occupied by the work your correspondent at- tendedin 1862. Thenoticebeinggiven, a general rush then takes place of many thousand people to Salivaturia, and in the few days marking the close of the month of February such a trans- formation soene vcours in that dreary locality as no one without witnessing it can realize. For the solitary unin- habited waste is suddenly peopled by a motley throng, representing almost every Asiatic nationality and sect— Chinamen from the far east and Af- thans from the farthest northwest, ides people from Europo and Afri- ca, though scldom from America. Two or three hundred boats, of ten to twenty tons burden. Jeach ladon with engers, goods, chattels and light uilding materials, moor along the shore, and forthwith, like magic, a large and well appointed town springs up in what was but yestorday tho home of desolation, aud is taken pos- session of by a cosmopolitan multi- tude, largely composed of thieves, vagaronds and jugglers, who do not forgot to begin to immedately ply their several vocations, Over this impromptu settlement the govorn- ment agent of the northern province, Mr, Twyncan, assisted by a police and small military force, holds dos- potic sway, and it would be hard to find a bettor man for such a diflicult and trywng position, ROVGHLY BUILT BUT GAUDY CRAFT, The boats that engage in fishery are manned by twenty-one men each-say one pilot, ten oarsmon and ten divers. A government peon also generally 0es in each boat to prevent tampor- ing with the oysters and robbery of the pearls, The remuncration to tho fishers is one-third of the catch of the oysters. Tho government taking the other two-thirds, The boats gen- erally are divided into divisions of 100 each and given distinguishing colors, say red and blue. Each boat has one mast and an immense goose- wind sail. They are roughly built, but sometimes gaudily painted, os- ially those from Colombo, of which, wever, there are but a fow, as they mostly come from the Corowandel coast of India and the northern ports of Ceylon. Preliminary to all fishing operations, the sharks muy be charmed, and thi wmummery is performed by professe conjurors known as *‘shark-charmers, who, a day er two prior to the com- wmgncemet of fishing, indulge in cer- tain diabolical enchantments, and afterwards, say every day when the boats are out. they stand on the shore muttering prayers, contorting their faces and assuming bodily ettitudes Ahe most grotesque imaginable, besides going through other senseless cere- pondent first visited this place, in Now, however, n new deposit the boats belonging to that day's divi sion wpread their broad, white eails and silently, like huge specter birda, skim away into the darknese, Their courso is towards the hanks, some fif teen miles distant, lying in twelve fathoms of water. Tho part of the bauk for the day's fishing has been oreviously marked off with buoys. Shortly after sunriso the diving beging from two temporary seaf foldings, ono on e side the boat, formed from the oars. The divers are assisted in their descent by an oblong stone weighing from twenty- eight to forty pounds, attached to a rope. The atone is_hauled up by the men in the boat immediately after reaching the bottom, as is also at a given signal the basket containing the s's im- 0 goes, though T have heard of, without see- ing 1t, a man who could stay down six minutes, The diving proceeds with great per severance and vigor until the sea- breeze set in, or until the sun ¢ ossex the mendian; after which it is very difficult to induce the men to go down, they claiming that it makes thom ill. 8o, after, noon the boats start on the return, and come bound- ing on before a fair wind under a press of sail, which, without their ballast of oysters, they couldn’t begin to carry safely. Of course, the return fromn the banks is the most exciting phase in the pearl-fisher's calling; for each boat races hard to be first. There is the alluring prospect of, immediatel; on arriving, having the oysters shared, ench man receiving n recompense for his late toil. To the mere spectator, alno, the sight of a hundred boats laden with precious bivalves and full of dusky forms, flying over a spark- ling summer soa, is an animating spoctacle, which onco seen can never bo forgotten. A DECOMPOSING MASS OF RICHNESY, Ar ived on shore, the oysters are landed and divided, tho boatmen oither selling their one-third share on the spot or hawking them in tho ba-. zanr, and tho govornmont storing ita two-thirds share in large pens pro- tected by strong puu.mfu. At 4 p. m: tho government agent, assisted hy native factotums, begina his sale-—a di mersion, 5o faz a3 my exper or during about one minut kind of auction conducted in Tamil, tho language of south- era Tndia, and mostly spokon by the ba ors—a thousand oystors baing .,n'..m-{ at & time, the purchasor of that thousand to say on the apot how many mare he will take at the o pri Phis operation is repoat- ed until all the oysters aro sold, after which delivery is given from the pens. The bivalves are piled in heaps by the purchasers and left to rot until the stench arising from their putrescence is most abominable.

A LUSTY MOOR AND A THIEVING COOLIV. One hot aftornoon when sauntering past the pen of a large speculator, H was suddenly run into and nearly cap- sized by a coolie, who darted out of a narrow gatoway. He was followed a moment later by a hugo Moor, the proprietor, who started off in cLasc of tho fugitive, who was now muking long tracks for the neighboring jnngle and at a pace which, judging from the circumstances 1, as a racing man, con- sidered would prevent his being takeh, The Moor was not only as fat asa hog, but had his legs encased in baggy trouscrs, and his upper person in a white tunic overtopped in grand style by an immense yellow and white turban, which gave his head the ap- pearance of a highly decorated bushel basket, whereas the coolie scemed light, lithe and strong, and not in the least incumbent with cothes, besides having he advantago of a long start. You may be sure I watched the raco with interest, and was surprised to see tho Moor gradually getting noarer to his man, whom he overtook just outside of a patch of rather close jungle. In this tho coolie might probably have found concealment had he been allowed to reach it, aad that ho did not succeed 1 8o doing was by no means his fault, for he ran like deer, but after all was no match for his lusty master, who brought m back in tri- umph, During ,the raco the Moer contrived, regardless of buttons, straps, hooks and cyes, to completel divest himself of his gaudy apparel, My surprise at the result of the race, though great, was soon increased by seeing a dosy of icine (a strong purgative) administered to the coolie, which had tho effect of cooling his blood, T guess, besides resulting in the recovery some hours later on, of » nice pearl, valued by the Moor at £50, say $260. This tho master's quick eye had detected the rough in swal- lowing, hence the pursuit and hence the treatment, Oneday's oxperience at the pearl banks is like that of overy othor day. I need only close this article by say- ing that a successful fishery, such as is poorly described in the above, yields to the government, which mon- opolizes it, about 250,000, at least $200,000 of which would probably bo net profit, as the cost of supervision is not great, The actual value of the |)mr|u, however, would not be over walf a million dollars, as most of the speculators generally, mako large profits, and there are, besides, the oatmen’s and divers’ shares, worth 5100,000, to be counted in.
