COM]

(1.) A system of deep-sea fishing and the purchase and
curing of fish on the west coast of Ireland, the principal fea-
ture of the plan being the employment of steam-vessels as
carriers from the _fishing grounds to the railways.
(2.) The manufacture of fish manuro or fish guano from the
inedible fish and offal, and the extract of fish' oil.
This Company was projected in the summer of 1854, and ap-
plication was made (under the highest patronage) for a Char-
ter of Incorporation ; but Parliament having passed a resolu-
tion in favour of limited liability, it was deemed advisable to
delay the further development of the project until the new
law had taken effect. The interim has, however, been use-
fully employed ; the promoters of the Company have devoted
themselves to the collection of additional information on the
subject—obtaining accounts, verifying their estimates, and
generally in ascertaining the views and opinions of those
whose position and practical knowledge give value to their
information.

. In addition to this Captain Symonds, the Managing Di-
rector, was instructed to occupy himself in practically ex-
amining the subject, and acquiring a knowledge of the mar-
kets, habits, and customs of the fishermen. The result of his
labours during that and the two preceding years have been
embodied in a pamphlet.* His report, together with the in-
formation obtained by the Directors, furnish a most satis-
factory confirmation of their views, and increase their confi-
dence in a successful result.
The Directors also refer with gratification to the observa-
tions of the press both in England and Ireland, set forth as an
appendix to the pamphlet—expressing in the most forcible
manner favourable opinions of the undertaking, not only as
to its success in a commercial point of view, but as likely to
' be beneficial to Ireland.
The Company is now therefore established under the
Limited Liability Act, and is unconnected with and totally
distinct from any former project relating to the Irish fisheries.
As to the first branch of operations of the Company,
namely, fishing and the purchase of fish, it may be stated
• that the waters of the west coast of Ireland abound with the
choicest cod, turbot, soles, lobsters, and other fish, but
hitherto, owing to a variety of causes well known, these
vast resources have not been turned to profitable account
on a large scale. Tho Company proposes therefore to carry
out a system of general fishing on the deep sea banks, and to
purchase fish of every description throughout the west coast
of Ireland. One of the principal features in this plan is the
employmen, of steam-vessels as carriers, by which the fish
Will be collected daiiy at the several fishing stations, and
carried to the nearest railway. These vessels, in combi-
nation with the Electric Telegraph and fast trains on the rail-
ways, added to a plentiful supply of ice, will insure a large
and regular delivery of fresh and cured fish in good condition,
within a few hours at the markets of London, Dublin, Liver-
pool, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and all important
towns in the kingdom.
' The Company's arrangements are in a sufficient state of
forwardness to justify the expectation that fishing operations
will be commenced in the month of October next.

The operations of the Company will neither interfere with
nor oppose any existing interests—they are to be carried out
in a district of coast which combines every requisite for suc-
cess, and will give constant employment to some thousands of
the coast population, to whom every rational inducement will
be offered to work the local fisheries, by affording them
throughout the year a fair and regular market on the spot
for all the fish they catch, irrespective of size, quality, or
kind, This will be done either on the banks, by means of
the screw carriers, or on the islands and coast at the cur-
ing stations, thus supplying •that great desideratum for
the successful working of those fisheries—a fair market
to the absence of which their decline may be mainly attri-
Compaupaiwpaiwv-caoring great -advantages to

all fishermen (or societies formed for flieir benefit) who may
be disposed to fish in conjunction with their fleet, and will
_ _

undertake to establish a station wherever sufficient evidence
is adduced of a supply to warrant the outlay. From such
parties fish will be purchased where caught, thus saving the
fishermen 50 per cent. of time and wear and tear, and reliev-
ing them of their greatest difficulty, viz , carrying the fish to
market. An extensive system of apprenticeship will also be
adopted, preference being given iu all cases to the sons and
relatives of those employed in or working with the Company's
fleet.

The fleet will, in the first instance, consist of two screw
steam carriers of about 150 tons, six welled vessels of about
90 tens, and six of about 50 tons. There will also be store
vessels for keeping fish and lobsters alive, and several boats
of from 30 to 35 feet long for seine and drift-net fishing.
These vessels will be commanded by experienced fishermen,
thoroughly acquainted with every sort of fishing and the
management of well-boats, &c.
The Cempany intend ultimately to extend their operations
to the south and south-west coasts of Ireland, and to avail
themselves of the improved communication, which will shortly
be afforded bytho extension of the South Wales Railway from
Haverford west to the seaport of Milford, near which pert a
depot for live fish, lobsters, and oysters will be established,
fer the supply of the Bristol and midland markets.
Tho cod taken on the west coast of Ireland is equal, if not
superior, both in size and quality, to the fish caught in the
North. Seas.
Ling.—This valuable fish is remarkably fine and very abun•
dant.
Turbot, and .britt or brill, is considerably more abundant,
and equal in quality to any caught on the Dutch coast.
Lobsters are of a size and quality superior to any which
can be procured elsewhere.
Haddock. —This fish is peculiarlylarge and most abundant.
Soles.— The sole of the Irish seas is superior in size and
quality to those in any known fishing-ground.
Sun fish, the oil from which realises from 401. to 50/. each,
are in great numbers at certain seasons.
Cod fish are very numerous, and are also valuable for their
oil.

Salmon and trout. The salmon of Ireland is well known both
as to its quality and abundance, as is also the trout.
Besides these, there are herrings, mackerel, dorey, halibut,
eels, plaice, hake, sprats, oysters, crabs, prawns, shrimps,
and other fish iu great quantity.
A. most abundant supply of marketable fish may, there-
fore, be calculated upon, and. arrangements have been made
which will insure a sale of almost any quantity. In confir-
tnation of this fact, the Directors refer to the document in the
Appendix, bearing the signatures of all the principal fishmon-
gers in London. There is, indeed, no limit to the demand,

and it is believed that twice the quantity now sent to the
metropolis will find a ready sale, more especially when, by
the use of steamers, welled vessels, and ice, the fish will
arrive in better order, the supply will be made regular, and
fish in consequence attain a standard price.
It is also intended to cure fish on a largo scale. Some idea
May be formed of the demand for cured fish in Ireland from
the report of the Commissioners of British Fisheries for the
year ending the 31st of December, 1855, by which it appears
that, so far as they can ascertain, 97,377 barrels of herrings
were imported into Ireland from Scotland alone ; and 13,286
cwt. of dried.cod, ling, and hake, from Scotland and the Isle
of Man. In addition to the above, large quantities of her-
rings are imported from other sources, and many cargoes of
cod from Newfoundland of a very inferior description. It is
therefore estimated that about 200,000/. is paid out of Ire-
land annually for cured fish. This demand the Company in-
tends to supply by a superior and, therefore, more wholesome
description of fish, caught on the Irish coast, principally by
Irish fishermen, thus securing to that country the benefit of
a great portion of this large sum.
As to the second branch, namely, the manufacture of fish
manure or fish guano, oil, and glue, from the coarse and
inedible fish, and the off.l of the curing stations.
It is impossible to overrate the importance of this branch
•f the business.
It is an established and incontrovertible fact, that fully
one-half the fish taken either by trawl or lino fishing, is
inedible or unsaleable, and heretofore the greater part has
been thrown overboard. In addition to this it is also known
that by the use of proper appliances an unlimited quantity
of every description of coarse fish and cinstacea may be
readily procured on the western coast of Ireland. These and
the offal of the prime or marke.able fish, the Directors intend
converting into pulverised fish manure or fish guano by an
improved process, at once simple, inexpensive, and effectual,
with the practical operation or which they have made them-
selves thoroughly acquainted, and they confideritly anticipate
a very large and remunerative return from this very impor-
tant branch of the business, in addition to the profits arising
from the sale of fish. The process has been for several years
in operation on the Continew, and has been attended with
highly satisfactory results ; it has lately been established in
this country with equal success. The raw material alone is
necessary, and the fish manure has stood the test of repeated
analyses and practical application to different crops in the
same proportion as the best Peruvian guano, thereby
preying that it contains fertilising elements, equal, if
not superior, to that much sought after but very expensive
manure ; it is equally portable and free of loss from damp.
This " fish manure" the Company will supply direct from its
manufactory under its own brand, thereby insuring it to the
consumer in an unadulterated state, and at a cost consider-
ably under that of Peruvian guano. In the above process a
large percentage of valuable oil is obtained, which, together
with other elements of great commercial value (extracted
without additional labour or expense), will alone realise a
very remunerative return.
The attention of scientific men has for a long time been
turned to this subject, and the great value of fish manure has
been demonstrated and proved beyond all question. It has
lately received the repeated attention of Professor
