The Fisheries of Ireland. like other vast natural resources of
that fruitful country, have hitherto remained wholly neglected.
It can scarcely be credited, were it not proved before a Com-
mittee of the ILiuse of Commons, that the southern and western
coasts are the best fishing grounds in Europe, and abound with
rod (equal to that of the Dogger Bank), turbot, haddock, ling,
hake, salmon, brill, herrings, pilchards, lobsters, &c., and sun fish,
so valuable for its od.

The Company intend not only to purchase fish from the fishermen,
but also to embrace fishing of every description, in lakes, risers,
bays, and shores, as weil as the deep sea fishery, and are about to in-
troduce an improved system of fishing (for which patents are pro-
posed to be obtained), whereby the application of steam power on a
new principle will be most advantageously used, as well as to bring
the fish with expedition to the market.
Vessels will be fitted up with tanks so constructed as to preserve
the fish alive, a desideratum hitherto unknown, the excellent flavour
of salmon in particular being lost by its transmission packed in ice.
The Company will supply the London, Dublin, Liverpool, Bristol,
and other markets with live fish in the course of the ensuing June.

Applications for Shargo ( if by letter, post paid), and for Prospec-
t uses may be made to the Secretary, at 133, Regent-street ; to W. H.
Green, Esq., Solicitor, 80, Basinghall-street, London; or to Thos.
Clouston, Esq., Dublin. No applications can be received after Sa-
turday the sth inst., subsequent to which day the allotment will
immediately take place.
