HERRING TRADE.

The John 0' Groat's Journal reports a continued successful
prosecution of the fishing at Wick. On Thursday 500 boa's
were out, and the average take was five trans each. A gene-
ral beginning has not yet been made. Highlandmon, for
the purpose of hiring, are arriving in scores, and meeting
with pretty fair engagements-41. to 41. 10s., with rations,
for eight weeks, has been about the rule. For good hands
as high as Si. to Si. ss. have been given. At the annuli
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 17s. and 18s. per cran. A
small quantity of cured fish has 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 trans. _

-IILMSDALE, JULY 21, 1845.—0ur fishermen were pretty
successful last week, considering it is still early. On Tuesday
there were 60 boats out, averaging 7 crane; Wednesday, 130
boats, averaging 3 crane; Thursdary, 170 boats, average same;
Friday, 200, average same ; Saturday, 220 boats, average li
trans. The whole of our fleet will put to sea to-night. Several
crews who commenced first of last week caught 40 crane—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 Loehfine,
fol-
lowed by an immense fleet of whales, fishermen, and ships.

This Company is formed with the view of establishing a compre-
hrnsive system of railways for the county of Devon, in connexion
with the existing lines, embracing all the principal towns, and giving
to each the advantages of communication in different directions to
the greatest possible extent, consistent with a general plan.
Taking Barnstaple and Bideford as the principal and most im-
portant points in North Devon, and as representing a district, it is
proposed to form a direct communication eastward, towards Taunton
and Tiverton ; and southward, with Exeter on the one hand and Pit.
mouth on the other.

To effect this in the most complete manner, embracing the largest
amount of population, and giving also the greatest extent of inter-
communication between the several towns, it is proposed to carry a
line from Bideford to Barnstaple, and thence by South 3folton to
Tiverton (joining the Tiverton Branch of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway), with a line diverging eastward, from a point a few miles
east of South Molton, and carried by Wiveliscombe and Milverton,
in a direct line towards Taunton, giving the whole of the district thus
traversed a very direct communication with the north and east via
Taunton, and with Exeter via Tiverton.
From Barnstaple and Bideford, as polite of departure, another
.ine would be taken southwards towards Hatherleigh, and from the
neighbourhood of that place proceed on the one 11, nd to Plymouth,
and on the other to Exeter, via Crediton ; Okehampton being either
close to what may be called the main line of this system, or having
a branch communicating with it. By these means, Barnstaple would
have a second road to Exeter, and, with Bideford, would have direct
railway communication with all the principal places of South Devon-
shire ; and Exeter would have the great advantages of railway com-
munication with all these parts.
The ground has been sufficiently surveyed to enable the
engineer to report upon the practicability of constructing lines in the
general directions above mentioned, the total length of which will be
about 120 miles, but the precise course of such lines must be depen-
dent upon the results of more detailed surveys ; the object of the
promoters being to construct the most perfect and complete system
that the country admits of, weighing equally and fairly the advan-
tages to the respective interests and to the public generally.
The Company is formed by an influential local proprietary, includ-
ing the promoters of the North Devon, Crediton and Barnstaple
Railway Company, and the parties who have interested themselves
in the formation of a line from Barnstaple to Tiverton, united with
the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Rah-
way Companies, it being proposed that the three latter companies
should contribute one-half of the capital, and join in the direction of
the affairs of the Company.
The important interests which these railways will subserve and
benefit may be estimated from a statement of the fact, that the
greater part of the entire population of Devonshire, which exceeded
at the last census 530,000 persons, is located at the extremities of
these lines, or in the districts traversed by them, the latter includ-
ing some of the finest agricultural portions of Devon and Somerset.
The traffic to the interior from the Seaport Towns, both on the
English and Bristol Channels, and the supplies of corn, wool, cattle,
and other produce which flow to the latter in return, are already
very considerable, and may confidently be expected to be augmented
to a great extent by the increased facilities and diminished cost of
transport afforded by railway conveyance ; the advantages of which.
especially in the articles of coal, lime, and minerals, are manifest.
The opening of a direct and speedy communication between the
north and south coasts, which the railway will effect, is a feature in
the present undertaking of much importance in a public point of view ;
and with reference to local advantage, and a profitable source of in-
come to the proprietary, a line of railway to a port in the Bristol
channel is of considerable moment.

The number of visitors attracted annually to the watering places
and romantic scenery of the north of Devon is also very great, and
will doubtless be much increased.

Arrangements are in progress for obtaining exact accounts by actual
observation of the traffic on the lines ; but the promoters are already
possessed of sufficient evidence to justify the confident expectation of
a remunerative income on the proposed capital, which they are
assured is fully adequate to accomplish all the objects proposed.
The numerous assurances of support already received from the
landowners leave no doubt of the successful issue of the application
which will be made to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation in the
next session. Powers will be sought in such Act to allow intere,t
at .£4 per cent. per annum on the deposit, and on all paid up calls
daring the progress of the works ; and no subscriber will incur
liability beyond the amount of his subscription.
Applications for shares in the form annexed (accompanied by a
satisfactory reference when the parties are not personally known to
members of the Provisional Committee) may be addressed to the
following Solicitors, of whom, and at the undermentioned Banks,
copies of the Prospectus may be obtained.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday,
last a boy named Hartley, the von of a widow, and em-
tielo ' Myed as a yard-boy byr. Clarke, gardener, at North-
h, met with his death in a very singular'
manner. He was
in the stable, tea.ing a horse with the butt-end of a pikle, or
bay-fork, having the other end towards his own body, when
the animal struck out suddenly
with such force Y, and hit the handle of the pikle
as to drive the prongs completely into the boy's
breast, killing him instantaneously,
Mond and a
verdict of " Accidental death " returned.—

six y.one ; Lewis Powell, his son.la.l;w,
David Davies,

eight yards from the

bucket was attached, broke, and the poor fellows
terrible speed to the bottom, a depth of nearly on. hundred
The three first named died instantaneously ; but Thomas yards.
survived till he was taken to the mouth of the level, and convened
Jones
with those who ran to his assistance. Three of the deceased men
have left wives and families. A brother of the deceased Lewis
Powell narrowly escaped death, as it seems he entered the bucket
with the others, but recollecting he had forgotten his candle, he
jumped up for the purpose of procuring it. The lender then re.
fused to let him re-enter the bucket, saying, "Four men are quite
treau;h to go down at once."--Bristol Joereal.
