WICK, JUNE 2, 1847.—The local destitution com-
mittee, the Chamber of Commerce, and the t:,.wn council
of this place have each agreed separately to memorialise
Government to send a cargo of meal, which is in course
of being subscribed for by fish-curers and others, to
' meet the demand during the fishing. The meal dealers
usually supplied the town, but this year they have no
stock, and there is now very little in the county of meal
or grain of any kind to sell, so that it is found to be
necessary to make application to Government before the
11,.rring fishing (which commences about the middle of
July), when the number of stnngers sill be from six to
eight thousand, who must be provided for besides the
ordinary population. Fishermen are engaged at. 9s. the
cran, and 10/. of bounty. The crops are looking ex-
' ceoclingly well eil3lo the Jate rain.—Ross-shire,Advertiser.
