November, December, and January, when they spawn, fixing a minimum penalty for a second offence; requiring all salmon intended to be exported between the 3d September and 2d February to be entered with the proper officer of customs; and in other minor but important particulars amending the Act of 1861, with which the Act of 1865 is to be understood as incorporated. The associations on the Severn, the Usk, and the Yorkshire rivers have already taken up the Act, and intend applying, through the court of quarter-sessions at their next October sessions, for the formation of fishery districts, and the appointment of boards of conservators. It is anticipated that in the lower part of the Severn £600, on the Wye £400, and on the Usk £300, will be then derived from licences, and from the first year’s revenue of these respective boards; and it is to be hoped that all necessary preliminaries will be adjusted in time to permit the various boards of conservators to enter upon their duties with the commencement of the next open season. As a guide to the productiveness in salmon of the different divisions of the three kingdoms, the following table may be taken. It was furnished by Messrs. Wm. Forbes Stuart and Co. of 104 Lower Thames Street, London, and shows the quantity of salmon (_i.e._ the number of boxes weighing one hundred and twelve pounds each) sent to London from 1850 to the end of the open fisheries of 1865:— ┌─────┬───────┬──────┬───────┬──────────────┬───────┐ │ │Scotch.│Irish.│Dutch. │ Norwegian. │ Welsh.│ ├─────┼───────┼──────┼───────┼──────────────┼───────┤ │1850 │ 13,940│ 2,135│ 105 │ 54 │ 72 │ │1851 │ 11,593│ 4,141│ 203 │ 214 │ 40 │ │1852 │ 13,044│ 3,602│ 176 │ 306 │ 20 │ │1853 │ 19,485│ 5,052│ 401 │ 1208 │ 20 │ │1854 │ 23,194│ 6,333│ 345 │ None. │ 128 │ │1855 │ 18,197│ 4,101│ 227 │ None. │ 59 │ │1856 │ 15,438│ 6,568│ 68 │ 5 │ 200 │ │1857 │ 18,654│ 4,904│ 622 │ None. │ 220 │ │1858 │ 21,564│ 6,429│ 973 │ 19 │ 499 │ │1859 │ 15,630│ 4,855│ 922 │ None. │ 260 │ │1860 │ 15,870│ 3,803│ 849 │ 40 │ 438 │ │1861 │ 12,337│ 4,582│ 849 │ 60 │ 442 │ │1862 │ 22,796│ 7,841│ 568 │ 87 │ 454 │ │1863 │ 24,297│ 8,183│ 1,227 │ 180 │ 663 │ │1864 │ 22,603│ 8,344│ 1,204 │ 837 │ 752 │ │1865 │ 19,009│ 6,858│ 1,479 │ 1069 │ 868 │ ├─────┼───────┼──────┼───────┼──────────────┼───────┤ │ │287,651│87,731│10,218 │ 4079 │ 5135 │ └─────┴───────┴──────┴───────┴──────────────┴───────┘
