Are you acqtsailiftd With the Irish fisheries was 0 . ,pointed by the Irish Gore iiiiii cat, when Lord If ardwicke was Lord Lieutenant, to Snake an investigation regarding She fisheries on a particular part of the cola, and I have also since tankage:ared le Om sin info. 'nation regarding the fish eries on other parts of the coast of Ireland, and the best anemia Of their improvement. What is your opinion of the abundance of fish on the roast Of Irelaii.l?-1 have found that on all parts of the coasts of Ireland, where the coast is formed into large bays, which are unnwesous on the southern and western coasts, that Ilse fishermen never fail to find fish in great plenty; and from the trials I hsve myself made, and (runs what I have been informed by the late Captain Huololart, and entre naval °Ricers, I ant of opinion that there are very valuable fishing grounds at no great distance from the coast, aad which ought to be further examinroi. lie the trials you made yourself, what kiad of fish did you find its great abundasoce ?—ln the trials off the coasts of Wexford and Waterford, we found cod, hug, and had dock ,• lout the fishing me the open grounds was much inter rupted by great qssautsties of dog fists and sharks • we were therefore mo st successful in catching the cod fish, panic's ;arty on the rocky coasts near the islands of the where the shark and dog-lish are nut found in such abun dance. What other fish did yon meet with besides those you have now reeittioned?—Abunglaner of turbot, jnhnaduree, plaice, the largest finest soles the &heron's' had ever seen, and also skate and halibut in great abliolauce. What fishermen do you allude to, and what vessels dill ynn employ its the trials to which you allude ?—Two Irish wherries, under the command of Lawrence Mooney, of Irishtown, a very hardy and experienced fisherman ' well ac quainted with the Nymph Rank, and the whole of the fish ing-gronods on the south of Ireland ; we berth making the trials on she Nymph Batik, on the 30th of May, 1602, and continued until the end of Aug.'s! ; but the weather was very much broken that sermou, and the regular trials much interrupted, hut perfectly satisfactory as to the abundance of fish Do you consider the Irish wherries well adapted for car rying on the fishery?—The wherries are excellent sea-bnets; they fish with long lines, and are well calculated fur shoot ing and liaultug the liner, under the easy management of the foresail. They are furnished with nets (or trawling, in or der to catch ground fish, viz turbot, plaice, soles, &c. They are provided also with nets for catching herrings. Are you of opinion, the fisheries uf Ireland might be car ried on snore extensively ?—lreland is better calculated for carrying on the fisheries in an extensive manure than any part of the united kingdom, or perhaps than any country in Europe. Fta independent of the fertility of the ocean with which Ireland is immediately surrounded, the navigation to the coasts of Scotland, where herrings always abound in greater or lesser quantities, and the navigation to the North of the Shetland Isles, where the Dutch fish for herein.", is speedy, safe, and certain. Besides also the excellent situa tion of !retsina far carrying on the cod fishery on the comet of Iceland, and ou the banks of Newfoundland. As a furs tber advantage, the Irish have a near amid most extensive market, from its proximity to the must populous counties in England, where the people being much employed in ma nufactures, do nut pursue the fisheries to any considerable extent. Above all, Dunmore, in the county of Waterford, is admirably situated for carrying on the fisheries of every description. To what cause do you attribute that the Irish fisheries are not carried on to the extent of which yuu deem them capa ble?—The immediate cause of the decline of the boat fishery, is solely to be alb ibuted to the heavy duties on the impor tation of rock salt, which look place about twenty years ago, on account of whole the numerous refineries of salt %Nell supplied the country with salt at a very low price were Civets up. In the year 1711 d I insole a tour Ihuruuglm the baronies of Forth and Bargie, in the county of Wexford, where I found every little farmer had n cask of salted fish, consisting of coil, lathe, tool ling, and also salted herrings, being supplied from the refineries at Wexford at a moderate prier. Red herrings were cured at IWexford and sent tei England slid Dobbs', and a ronoideralan boat fishery was coaled on. When I well COI materials fur rcy !kat survey of that country, in 1803-4, the salt-works were wholly abandoned ; the coring of red herrings was given up, amid I did not find any of the little farmers able to paws cure n single barrel of salted lisp for their winter store. I am, therefore, decidedly of sopiniuts, that it will be a very dithrolt task to revive and extend the Jolt fisliemy, without the duty on rock salt is repealed; but until that mea sure taken place, the fisheries 011 I lie COlll.l WUllid be greatly encouraged by having depots of rock salt formed nn various parts of the coast; rock salt crushed, given duty free to the boatmen, nude; certain rrgula.tions and restrictions, which might he easily complied with. tVlint would you propose as the best means of enentsrag iec the fisheries and improving the era-etiasta of Ireland ? That a Bill should be introduced into Parliament fur the en couraerment of landed proprietor.s to louild towns, lIIIINCVN and fishing stations in behind, and fur coabliog the proprie tor". of land its Ireland to charge their Instils with a propor tion uf the expense its making and maintaining harbours, roads, and bridges, on a principle similar to the Actsof Par lianscut passed for similar purposes in Scotland.
