PJLCHARD FISHERY.

GERRANS BAY.—On Friday night last, a sean shot
in this bay, and caught about eighteen hogsheads of
pilchards.
CHARLESTOWN.—The drift boats continue to take
from five to six thousand fine fish every night, and the
seans are all under pay, but nothing has been dune by
them yet.
FOWEY.—The drivers continue to take fine pilchards,
which have been sold here at ls. 3d. per 120. The scans
are getting ready, and two have been out several nights,
but without success.
ST. IVES.—Several large shoals of pilchards have
been seen from the hills during the week, and the drift
boats are bringing in 5,000 to 10,000 per boat. Four or
ffve scans are already put bn board, and if the fish draw
nearer the land it is expected the men .will be put in
pay next week. Most of the boats are returned from
the coast of Ireland, the herring fishery having been a
complete failure. Some of the boats have not taken
enough to pay their expenses.
FALMOUTM—The Falmouth boats this week have -not
been very successful, the catches averaging from 500 to
2,000. One of the St. Mawes scans shot on Tuesday, but
the fish taken were few in quantity and small in size.
PORTHLEAYEN.—The largest number of pilchards
ever known to have been taken by the driving boats at
this port, was landed on the beach on Wednesday even-
ing last, and at once disposed of at from Is. 9d to 2s. per
hundred.— West Briton.
