The Regulations for the river, this year, unider the control of Mr Eustace Nickerson, Fishery Warden, have been enfurcd; so that the inhib itants have had a more equa dividend.

Crosby, Esq., Inspector for all the Rivera of this County, that there will be a great increase of all sorts of finh in the different streams in future, to the advantage of all the i nhabitants.— Yarmouth Tribune, Canada . Burial rites have been refused by the Roman Catholic clergy of Montreal, to the body of Joseph Guihord, an aged printer, who died re cently, the reason being that the deceased had been a member of the Canadian Institute, very effort was made to induce the officials to accede to the request but in vain. The Montreal her ald says t To put an end to all doubt on the subjects the widow gave a written order to three gentleman te ad for her, who were to use every men to obtain permission to have the body interred in conscormed ground. Armed with this, they called on the Key, Mr. Rouseclot, and formally asked him to give the order. This was again re fused. They then derided of him in his ca yneclty as a public officer to give Joseph Guibord interment, who was born a Catholic, baptized and married in the Catholic Church, and had al ways been a Catholic up to the hour of his death. The only answer to this was that he had received orders from the Vice-General to that effect, and he product the letter, which stated ‘that no member of the Canalian Institute was ‘to have the Sacraments of the Church adminis tered, to receive the rites, to have funeral ser vices performed or to obtain interment in the Catholic cemetery. * The friends then made a legal tender of the fers usual in such cases, which Mr. Rousselot offered to accept, but said that the body could not be interred in the Jet. A re quest was then made that the holy should be allowed to be deposited in the vaulty, but no answer could be returned till the matter had been referred to the Grand Vicar. On the re turn of the friends for an answer the curate was present with a witness, and said they must understand that interment was not refused, but that the body of Guibord must be buried in a lot set apart for the burial of undaptised chil dren, suicides, and people unrecognizal by the Church. This was declined by the friends, and “ notarial protest was served on the Fabrique.” On the following Sunday an attempt was made to get the interment effected as requested but it was refused and the coffin was tempor arily deposited in the vault of the English Ceme tery, pending legal proceedings.
