off Ailsa CrSig; and the haul- was 10 cwt. of
fish. The cost of such fishing (GO/. per month
for each vessel) is, no doubt, great; but, like
thorough draining on the land, the return is in pro-
portion to the depth of the peuetration. It is remark-
able that while small fish seem to be leaving the
shore the leviathan species are coming inland. In
Sunday alone 160 whales were captured last week ;
and a Norwegian ship, bound for Orkney, passed seve-
ral large shoals ; while, off Noss Head, they were seen
sporting in monster squadrons. But as whale visita-
tions are few and far between, it is of more conse-
quence to notice that steps are being taken to initiate
the western Highlanders in the mysteries of catching
herring, and other periodical visitors of the finny
tribe. This is to be done at the expense of the Desti-
tution Board, which has engaged several cunning
fishermen in Fraserburgh to proceed to the
Hebrides end give normal lessons in placation. In-
land, Mr. Mackenzie, of Cromarty, offers a reward of
one guinea for the detection of unauthorised appro-
priators of mussel bait. The Duke of Sutherland is
to give his salmon a jubilee for 1848; and hereafter
fishing and angling on his lochs are to close earlier
than heretofore. To conclude aquatic intelligence,
we mast add that three Perth fishermen were each
fined ten pounds Scots (which is 16s. 841. sterling)
for fishing in the Tay on Sunday ; and this in virtue
of an old act of the Scotch parliament (1661, cap. 18).
The Mail of to-day gives a parting cuff to the
Abinger system. In substance it is to the effect that
at a period when the Highland population is living
upon the charitable donations of the public, his lord-
ship keeps a beautiful and most improvable tract of
country under moos and heather—a course which
deprives the people born on that soil of their natural
subsistence, and the nation at largo of valuable re-
sources. Equally angry with the tenantry, the Fife
Journal fires off a volley of extracts at the poor
tenant Celts, which is worth quoting as well for their
home truths as for their graphic arrangement.
