HERRING FISHING.

ABEIME/W.—The half-dozen boats here have made s
commencement, with very slight success, the average as
yet not being worth setting down.
S/ONELIAVEN.—The general commencement here has
not been encouraging, the whole of the 60 boats em.
ployed having altogether taken probably not more than
20 crans. This, however, at this early art of the sea,
eon, is no criterion as to future prospects
WicK.—Our fishing fleet is daily increasing, in
course of next week the whole
force will haveand
mus-
tered—indeed, except the west country and Moray Firth
boats, they may be said to have already all arrived. The
success of the fishing at the Lewis up to a recent date
has delayed the arrival of the boats from that place, and
the stiff breeze which for some days has been blowing in
on the opposite shores of the Moray Firth prevents the
arrival of boats from that quarter. The delay, however,
has occasioned no loss to those interested, as no good
has been done during the past week by the boats which
are here. The entire take during the week will not
yield an average for the few boats at sea. Last night only two boats put out here, and we do not expect that
a general trial will be made before the beginning of nest
week.

DU BAR.—Since last report little has been don. a*
the station, but appearances are very favourable. Nearly
200 boats were off last night ; the highest has delivered
1900 fish, and most of them had a few, but it was by
no means a successful beginning. Selling priee from 7s.
to Bs. a hundred.
At Gourdon, this week, a few boats out. The prospect
is pretty
