TnEATEE Rotal. — Last night "Susan Hojoley " and the "Dead Shot" were sub mitted to a very good house. The pieces were well put upon the stage, and the charac ters were nearly all supported with effect. Acclimatisation. — The whitebait which were so abundant in the Avon last season and the year before have this year shown a very marked diminution in numbers. To what causo this "can be attributed is a question of some interest, and deserving the attention of ! those in a position to form an opinion from I careful observation. In addition to its advan- 1 tage as a table delicacy this little estuary fish will doubtless prove an abundant food supply for trout; and enable a very much larger num ber of both trout and salmon to be maintained in the Avon. A fish ladder at Lane's mill would no doubt greatly tend to the increase of the whitebait. We trust to see the subject investigated by the Acclimatisation Society. The judicious protection of our few valuable native fish is quite as important as the intro duction of new varieties. Experiments, we believe, were made in the gardens with a view to Dractically testing "What were white bait?' The reports of the society's meetings are capable of improvement by the addition of interesting and useful scientific matter.
