HERRING FISHING.

BERWICK, AUG. I.—The take this week has been but
very indifferent. On Saturday morning the success was
very encouraging. The highest boat 20, and all had a
few crans ; but, since, the highest take has been 12
crans, and on some nights a number of the boats did not
go off at all. There has, however, always been fish,
from a few hundreds to a few trans ; and at this early
part of the season a greater quantity has been taken
than we remember of. We wonder very much that none
of our Berwick boats have gone to the shoal at Dunbar,
the wind being so favourable for them. Prices this week
are rather higher to the cadgers, and on some mornings
as high as 20s. have been given for a cran. We see a
vast number of French and Yarmouth luggers passing to
the north in quest of herrings.
BYEIVIOUTH.—Tuesday morning we had from 1 to 30
crans per boat. Price 14s. per cran. 'Wednesday most
of the boats returned clean ; the hi;,•*hest take was five
trans ; a few ht ; 2,3, and 4 crafts. On Thursday a ge-
neral fishing, from 3 to 10 crans per boat, price 15s.
The Norfolk Hero sailed on Tuesday, and the William
and Ann sailed to day (Thursday) for Yarmouth, with
full cargoes. Three more Yarmouth loggers and two
ether vessels are waiting on cargoes. Noce of our boats
are engaged this season—they are all open to the best
market which offers. We have upwards of 40 boats out
here this year, besides a large number from adjacent
places. From 60 to 80 boats are here eery morning.
Since the new quay was built, and the harbour deepened
and t nlarged, we have great accommodation both for
boats, vessels, ant? carers. Our curers are all well sup-
plied with stock this h euson.
DuNnan.—The fishing for this we--k is excellent, and
the fish of first-rate quality. There are now upwards of
150 boats in our harbour, And several French vessels.
Home curers are. purchasing largely at from Bs. to 9s.
per cran. To-night. (Thursday), there are upwards of
200 boats at sea. lying off between this and Cove.
NORTH SUNDERLAND.-Our fishing on Saturday
morning last week offered well for the beginning, there
being takes of ten, fifteen, and twenty crans ; but, en
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings this week it has fallen
greatly off. Ilighest boat five crans. Price 15s. per
cran.—Berwick Adveit;ser.
