DAVIS STRAITS COD FISHING. -- The Shaver,
Bridie, belonging to Messrs. D. and J. Brown, wine and
spirit merchants, Dundee, arrived at Ler ick, from
Davis' Straits, on the 17th of September, with 20,000
fish, and reports the following vessels:—Sept. 1, Crai-
gie, Dundee, 17,000 fish ; Electra, 22,000 ; Brothers,
14,000 ; Johns, 13,000 ; James, 30,000. The Shaver
and the Craigie belong to Dundee owners. The send-
ing out vessels to Davis' Straits to fish for cod has only
heea in operation for three or four years. This is the
first season that vessels have been sent from this port

Dundee last year, and from the success met with the
trade is likely to be continued. The fish are reported
to be excellent, and have been brought home in good
