HERRING TRADE.

The John 0' Groat's Journal reports a continued successful
prosecution of the fishing at Wick. On Thursday 500 boats
were out, and the average take was five crane each. A gene-
ral beginning has not yet been made. Highlandrnen, for
the purpose of hiring, are arriving in scores, and meeting
with pretty fair engagements---41. to 4/. 10s., with rations,
for eight weeks, has been about the rule. For good hands
as high as Si. to 51. ss. have been given. At the annual
let of the herring curing stations there was an increase
on the rental of about 65 per cent. A few days since a num-
ber of Dutch fishisg vessels arrived in Wick bay. Upwards of
70 were within sight at one time. They had previously been
very fortunate in the fishing. Most of the curers at Wick
preferred curing their fish, although they were freely bought
fresh by the English vessels at I7s. and 18s. per cran. A
small quantity of cured fish Las been sold at 18s., a few days
in salt, and the last contracts entered into were at 18s. 3d.
At Reawick, in Zetland, the fishing has been very successful,
the boats of Messrs. Garrick and Co., eight in number, aver-
aging 70 crane.

‘-'IIELMSDALE, JULY 21, 1845.—0ur fishermen were pretty
successful last week, considering it is still early. On Tuesday
there were 60 boats out, averaging 7 crans; Wednesday, 130
boats, averaging 3 crane; Thursdary, 170 boats, average same;
Friday, 200, average same ; Saturday, 220 boats, average 1
trans. The whole of our fleet will put to sea to-night. Several
crews who commenced first of last week caught 40 crans—one
or two boats have from 50 to 60 already.
STORNOWAY.—The herrings have almost wholly deserted
this coast, and seem to be proceeding southward. The route
of these singular fish is every year invariably the same ; they
first appear here, then proceed to Gairloch, thenee to Portree,
from it to Scalpa, and work their way south by Lochfine, fol.
lowed by an immense fleet of whales, fishermen, and ships.

bewildering as to cause a doubt whether you are in London or

This unique apartment is devoted to cutting and arranging the

ment, Ross and Sons beg to notice the advantages of their
system—viz., they never take apprentices nor young men from
the country, nor object to customers asking for the same man
to wait upon them ; every person has clean brushes, they never
being used twice, without being washed ; and parties are not
pressed to buy things they do not want. Address, Ross and
